I'll add that I've also tried the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.0 to flash stock. Appears to go fine, recreating the file system and loading software, then as soon as it gets to the "erasing cache" step it just sits there for hours and makes no progress.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpaceGooner:
Same thing happened to me yesterday. My N5 is rooted, running stock rom and recovery. I had some corrupted app date showing in Titanium that I could not remove that were causing a Play store issue for me. I backed up my phone with TB and ran a factory reset in settings. The phone was stuck on the 'erasing' screen for maybe 20 minutes, so I put the phone in fastboot and from there back into recovery. This took me back to the 'erasing' screen to my dismay. I put the phone down and started searching for a solution online, but then I noticed after about 7 minutes the erase process had finally finished on its own and the phone rebooted normally again.

Based on what others are saying in this thread it appears the factory reset process via settings or stock recovery can hang sometimes. If you power off, start the phone in fastboot and select recovery again, I'm guessing the factory reset process restarts and hopefully it will then work properly the next time, like it did for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Well when I did a factory reset from settings, it took nearly 20-25 minutes to finish. The next time I did a reset, it completed within 10 minutes :eek:

I guess this problem occurs randomly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottgwald:
Be patient

My guess is that you just need to be patient -- my device took nearly 45 minutes to reset. It seems to me that the time required is proportional to either the amount of data or the number of files you have on the device. My device had a mix of large files (such as musics and photos) and many many small files (sensor data log files), so it's hard for me to say which of those contributed more to the long reset time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StraightOn.NL:
This worked for me too. On the initial 'Return to factory defaults' it got stuck for about 45 minutes. I then follow the advice above:

- Put the N5 in Fastboot by pressing: Vol. Up + Vol. Down + Power

- Select: Recovery and press on Power to proceed

- Phone reboots, still into the 'Androidman' but it seems that the 'Return to factory defaults' also restarts.

- Wait about 10 minutes and the Phone powers down automatically. Upon startup you enter the 'Initial configuration menu' so the factory reset has been completed.

Still stuck on Erasing screen, running out of options

Hello,

I am a newbie with zero developer knowledge and received my Nexus 5 in the mail yesterday. I liked the phone specs and that is the only reason I got it. I left it alone while it charged up and the first thing I did once it was finished was perform a Factory Reset (it was a "like new" phone so I just wanted to be safe) and have been stuck on the Erasing screen ever since. Pressing Vol- and Power button does take me to the bootloader screen, however, any option I choose by pushing the power button, such as Recovery Mode, sends me back to the Erasing screen. Pushing Vol+, Vol-, and Power shuts the phone off completely. Holding the Power button down does nothing more than restart the phone into the Erasing screen. I have also let the phone die twice and as soon as it has enough juice to come back on, it goes straight to the Erasing screen. Everything on the phone is stock and it is completely unrooted. The bootloader screen also indicates it is unlocked. I have attempted to flash it as per instructions I have found on here but I am unable to download the stock factory images. It gets to about 90% before the install fails and I have tried to install three times already. I do have the 15 Second ADB installed, however. I assumed the install of the factory images failed because I don't have WiFi and I'm running completely off of limited 3G data (I live in the middle of no where with no high speed internet to speak of). So in lieu of all that I have attempted, is there ANYTHING at all that can be done to get the phone off of this Erasing screen? Or do I just need to try and return it because it's useless at this point? I did at first let the process run but it's now been 24 hours stuck on this Erasing screen with no improvement. I'm fairly certain it runs KitKat 4.4.0.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princepapa:
I posted this in the A500 forum as well, but it's probable that this is not a problem limited to my device, and it's also possible that there is a rom that might help me out.

I purchased my tablet on the day it came out, so it's long out of warranty. Everything has been fine with it until three nights ago.

I woke up in the morning to a crashed app alert. I don't get crashed apps often, but it does happen, so I hit ok. A few seconds later I was inundated with crashed app alerts. At that point, any app I opened would also crash immediately. Figuring a good reset would fix it, I turned it off...and it wouldn't turn back on.

I did finally get it to start by holding the volume up and power button.

But that didn't fix the problem. I've discovered that it is somewhat stable if I keep wifi off, but if wifi is on, within minutes everything starts to crash again.

I tried uninstalling some of the apps that crash, but when I restart, the apps are back. It doesn't matter what I uninstall, when I restart, it's back. Installed apps also disappear, the wallpaper resets...basically nothing I do sticks once I restart. I tried to factory reset using the button combination required for my device, and the screen gives the "erasing user data" message, but when it loads up, everything is just as I left it. I tried using the android os option to factory reset, but when I hit "erase everything", the button depresses, but nothing happens.

So obviously, I'm a bit perplexed.

I've never rooted it, and I ran an anti-virus scan a few hours before this all happened and it came up clean.

Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice? If no one has any ideas one how to fix it, is there a way to bypass the main os completely with a rom? I have absolutely no idea how those work, so it may be obvious that it won't, but I figured I'd check.

Thanks in advance! And thanks for reading this far, even if you have no advice!

From my understanding its like this, selinux is set to enforced. This is controlled by the kernel. The kernel cannot be modified or it will fail the md5 hash check on boot and trip knox and whatever else. So to impliment safestrap or something of the like to circumvent the locked bootloaders selinux needs to be permissive. Im sure this is very intentional and unless someone has a genius moment we are pretty much fu**ed.

O.K. So I got my hands on a hard bricked T-mobile GS4 that I'm going to JTAG. My problem is that it won't show up on any PC (3 of them) that I connect it to. I tried a different battery and USB cable and still nothing. Before you ask yes I have my drivers installed and my other GS4's all show up on any PC that I connect to. Even with it hard bricked I should still be able to see it on my PC but I can't. Any ideas as to what's up with this particular GS4? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
Not all phones will show up when they're not healthy. If you're planning to JTAG, why not just send it off and get that done? Have you tried a jig?

Yeah I have a JIG and tried it but that was a no go. I have a RIFF BOX so I can JTAG it myself, in order to do it the pc needs to see it but it is not showing up at all when I plug it into the usb.

Alright, here is the deal, I am currently running 4.3 Sabermod PA and I have Nova launcher installed and have had for quite sometime. I like to change things up from time to time so that I don't get burned out on an older phone and get the urge to upgrade/buy a new phone. My girlfriend has the S3 and I have played with it some and would not mind trying out a touchwiz launcher. Now here is my question: Is there a touchwiz launcher for my gnex that would support a 210-240 dpi? I have installed several from all over XDA and have to set my dpi to 320 and I find that very unappealing. (I know I am being a "diva", but I just like having a lower DPI.) I have done many searches over the last several days and tried 3-4 different touchwiz launcher/ports with no success of finding one that will let me change the DPI. So if anyone has any links/advice/answers I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if I would be better off trying a nova theme let me know that as well, I just wanted to use the weather widget and have a complete S3 like experience if possible. Thanks in advance.

Also, if someone has used the kit kat launcher let me know your experience with it. I am just looking for a new look without changing ROMs at the moment.
