[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
Disclaimer: I'm not very experienced with all this modding so I apologize if I don't use the right technical terms

So this started when I was clearing my nexus 5 out because i've got a new phone. I want to sell this phone so I need it working. So I factory reset my phone to wipe all my data, all cool, and I noticed the phone had TWRP on it so I was wondering how to get rid of it, so I was swiping through the menus in TWRP and under wipe I pressed 'format data' now I thought this may remove TWRP, now it starts 'wiping data... formatting/data' and it was taking a while so I just left it and went to school, got home and it was still going, no change since I left it.... So that was yesterday. So today i've tried everything, I tried flashing factory images onto my phone, it was going fine until it reached 'erasing cache' at which point it just didn't do anything. I left it for over an hour, tried several times but always at the 'erasing cache' it just stopped and has never got past that point, So I was thinking maybe I did something wrong, I downloaded wugs root toolkit which does it all for you, ran the program on wugs root toolkit and tried 'flash stock' and put the box underneath set to 'current states = softbricked/ bootloop' and ran the program, worked all well until the same point, erasing cache and never got past there... I should also mention at this point i think TWRP is gone, its got stock recovery. And if I try booting the phone the anrdroid figure comes up for about 30 seconds then the phone reboots and does the same thing

So i'm sat here having no idea what to do now.... I can get into fastboot, and into recovery so any help is very much appriciated

Extract the userdata.img file from the stock rom.

Boot into fastboot and type the following commands:

Fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Boot directly to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
I did the first command and it worked, put in 'fastboot flash userdata userdata.img'

And it says 'erasing 'userdata'...' And nothing is happening :(

If you go from MM to LP, I found that my phones would not boot if I do not erase userdata and the flash userdata.img.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
The thing that has caught my attention is that throughtout all this, I've tried flashing stock marashmellow, different versions, and all this and the same thing is there. It always stops at 'erasing cache' on the command prompt, i've seen other peoples and its done in 12 seconds or less. I've left it on occasions for an hour+ and nothing. And everytime I go into recovery it says 'formatting data' so i cant access the recvoery because its stuck trying to format data. And idea how to like stop the command of 'formatting data' because i think thats whats causing the problem that command. That's how I started all this, I was on TWRP and pressed format data and i tihnk that command is like stuck so any help based on that infomaton
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
Since i'm able to post pictures here now this is exactly the points it gets stuck, one picture if from where im trying to boot up and it goes straight to what looks like recovery and if I press the up rocker thats what it says and the other picture is the point it always stops at, and never gets past that. http://imgur.com/a/XtW4r

Do you have a 5 or 5x? I ask because I see the 5x in the command prompt.

Are you using the flash-all.bat command?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
I have a 5x, my current phone is the 5x. that's the why directory was named 5x , I am using the nexus 5 images on my nexus 5, sorry for the confusion.

Maybe you should try the nexus 5x images? The partition layout is probably different between the 2 phones.

So download a nexus 5x imaage and try it on my nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
My apologies as I misread your post.

You are using n5 images on an n5 phone and the command prompt directory only says 5x. Correct?

Did you try using the flash-all.bat command?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
Yeah thats right

And yes I have, it always get stuck at 'erasing cache' and never gets past it

if I do it seperatly however, like say im in my bootloader and not doing anything then put 'fastboot erase cache' it likes that and works, and same with 'fastboot format cache' and it works. But with the flash all it doesn't and gets stuck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
manually flash each partition. After flashing the final partition, do not reboot from the fastboot screen. Instead, use the button to boot right to factory recovery.

I think it's gettig stuck at erasing cache because it cannot be mounted until it has been formatted in factory recovery.

Hey man, so I flashed each partition manually, all got through, clicked to recovery and then recieved just a black screen with nothing, left it for 15 mins, retestarted the phone and missed the bootloader so it went to the same thing as before, what looks like recovery, green android dude and where i press up on the volume it says the same as before --wipping data... formating/data... thing... so any help,

The problem im seeing is that i cant get the normal recovery where it should have the red triangle thing saying no command, but my phone still is giving the command to wipe?? idk anymore
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
How about this: flash everything manually and, after flashing the last partition, flash twrp, then boot right to twrp from fastboot mode.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicTree:
Did that and this is what showed on twrp, then it reboots and says the same thing and reboots

any help?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I'm really not sure. You've tried everything I would have done. The only other thing I would do is dismantle the phone and look for visual damage. After putting it back together, I would try everything one more time just to be sure. If it still doesn't work, I would give up.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spz0:
As the topic States, I'm having a couple of issues with migrating my Tasker profiles and tasks from my old g3 to this phone.

The first issue is with Bluetooth. I have a profile setup to automatically shut off Bluetooth when bluetooth is on but not connected for over 30 seconds. The task executes fine, but as soon as Bluetooth turns off, it loops and turns back on again.

My next issue is with having secure settings turn off mobile data when my Wi-Fi is connected. It seems like a simple task, which it is but secure settings registers an error every time it tries to shut off mobile data.

Again, these settings worked fine on my old phone. Has anybody else had issues like this, or can offer any possible solutions? Device administration is activated for all apps involved, SELinux is set permissive.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan_mc:
Hi,

I was on B140 and then I tried B170 via local update.zip method. I was not rooted. Then I got bootloop. Why?

Then I unlocked the bootloader and flash B130 and now when I apply B140 with the local update.zip method, nothing changes and I am still on B130.

How can I go to this stupid B170 update without suffering?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lockmunk:
you have to flash B100 then OTA to B121, B130 and then B140.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan_mc:
I did it but again I cannot use local update.zip to upgrade my phone. I think after someone unlock the bootloader, it is not possible to use this method anymore.

But what else can I do? Can you upgrade to B170 from B100 using fastboot method?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icetea:
try to flash the B313 Rollback file first!

Maybe it will stop with "not successful!" but a reboot should bring you to interim B300. Then you should be able to flash the B121 Full update out of your dload folder from your internal SD. If this work, you should be able to OTA update to B170. This will work for me after i was in a bootloop (tried to root B170)

Aus besonderem Anlaß::D

Hatte mich im Bootloop festgefahren nach dem Versuch zu rooten. Mit dem B313Rollback.zip bin ich in die B300 gerutscht. Wenns geklapt hat, siehst Du beim Booten die "android" Wortanim! Dann per dload ordner die B121 voll mittels "Einschaltknopf+Lautstärke +/- Tasten gleichzeitig" flashen. Sollte klappen so noch alles einigermassen auf der Reihe ist. Viel Glück!:fingers-crossed:
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan_mc:
Vielen Dank! Ich gemacht habe, was du mir gesagt hat, und es hat funktioniert !!!

The key to my success is to use volume + / volume - / power bottom at the same time to force it. I first flash B121 and then I got an OTA for B170 !!!

So B170 is not BETA anymore.

no development are possible ! nothing !!!!! :rolleyes: ........completely useless for XDA !!! this forum don't have to spend energy to create a section ..........pffffff !!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

And with bad reputation of LG G4 with it's fragile hardware ,with all these bootloop and other .......... i think that too many people will change for others manufacturers ...... :rolleyes:
[G4 General] chaki-:
Yes and they supposedly move the buttons on the side.....

This is one good reason to jump in another OEM's wagon. For me back volume rocker was the first reason that pushed me to buy G2. And i was kinda disappointed with G4 when i got the hardware problems after 1 month.

Got to consider my next buy.
[G4 General] venom_tan:
U are right , bootloader will lose their minority buyer but i think they don't give the sh*t either ...
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
yes it's sure ..... users like ours are really a "minority" ...but there are much more users who "fiddle" their phone (who search for root,xposed,tweaks,customs.....) than we think .

and this future G5 will be the same as an Apple iphone and others Android manufacturers who will eventualy follow this full securities and locks .
[G4 General] legend221:
The reason I bought the G4 was that I assumed it would be able to root, bootloader unlock and get a custom recovery for Custom Roms. Unfortunately I have the Verizon VS986 variant which only allows root. LG has been pretty stable and fast, maybe not as fast as the Motorola X Pure Edition which has the same specs but overall I am satisfied.

My contract extension isn't until 2017 so I'm pretty much stuck with the phone until then. I have alot of time to monitor and see who really is looking out for people like us that want full control of the phone and the Rom that is within the device.

[G4 General] spartan268:
Not bad. But seeing how the G4 is as simple as a phone can get and had quite a bit of issues. I can easily see the G5 being filled with even more with a design like that. Stacking the locked bootloader situation and security on top, probably a no go for me.

Sony is really looking like a good option for the future seeing how they're very developer friendly and provide some nice options for the type of phone you'll want. (Premium, compact, that other third one)

Hopefully HTC this year will make us a surprise for the flagship phone then I will jump back to HTC .
[G4 General] klbjr:
*100 Out of all the manufacturers I think HTC has had the right idea for a couple years. They just can't seem to get the camera right for some odd reason. But if the camera is only marginally better than the M9 there's no question where I'll be headed. G4 dev support is almost non existent and if I can't tinker than its no use to me.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
An HTC with a very good camera, why not 12mpx Ultrapixels..., or a Sony with an Amoled screen and finally a good camera which can shoot in Raw. I like my G4, but screen touch problem is not professional at all and I don't have time to send it and get it back 20 days later... Not serious at all about what LG did. Imagine Apple with this kind of problem... And the G4 don't have fingerprint sensor, a big shame, but like I said, it's still a good phone.
[G4 General] MickyFoley:
Well, then the show is open for some devices with good dev-support. I'm ready to hear, because neither the new Nexus 6P nor Nexus 5X have that amount of development. And those are phones without any problem.

At the moment, there isn't any new "beloved by developers" phone, is it?
[G4 General] klbjr:
Umm let's head over to the S6, Note 5, even the dreaded M9 has way more dev support. And I'm pretty sure the S7, Note 6 and M10 will have more dev support. There is no one "beloved by developers" phone but it seems like we have a good candidate for most "hated by developers" phone. The G4 gets my vote.
[G4 General] legend221:
HTC has amazing devices but has vastly ignored the camera which is a shame. The M9 is a beast and the only reason that made me not buy the phone was the lackluster camera. I just wish there was a way to confirm root, bootloader unlock and Rom compatibility at the time of a phone release but it's a gamble ultimately.

We will all see in a few weeks at Mobile World Congress 2016 Barcelona.

[G4 General] Illux:
I'm entitled to a new phone July 2017, so roughly 1,5 years to watch the scene. The G4 has amazing potential, I kinda believe what we encounter is mostly software related issues. LG, still, is a very professional company and I doubt they'd pick suppliers who don't double check their hardware. But: After that, LG is dead. I don't understand why you'd wanna lock out developers. I mean, half the stuff of today's Android was made up by developers and hands down, there is some and I doubt it's only a small minority, who don't wanna wait forever till they receive a bloated update or even worse who have to hope and pray that their device will be supplied with updates in the future.
[G4 General] paratox:
do you have a source for locked bootloader or is this only your assumption?
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
It's sure at 99.9% that the LG politic about security will not changed at all... it's getting worse ...

EU H815 is unlockable. if G5 EU version is also unlockable i`m more then happy.

locked down provider phones on us market is another story but this is not a LG (only) problem. rate with your provider decision and / or buy free phones on the market!
[G4 General] Loulou-13:
yes ... :( all manufacturers will follow in this way ......

and "geeks" like ours will have less and less choice of phone ( otherwise we are forced to conform and and sacrifice by buying a phone like others standard users, never without root ,customs ,xposed ... but just the stock firmware )

The only way will be to buy a old second hand phone with developments........or pray that NEXUS will continue to be easy to hack and unlock .

:(

the begining of the end ??? wait and see ...
[G4 General] spartan268:
I wouldn't say the end is coming, but for specific devices, it may be. LG looks like it's moving towards locking it down for most minus the niche market they leave it unlocked for.

I can see Nexus leaving their devices unlocked since it appears to be their specialty. Sony as well. HTC hopefully stays the same. Personally I am a HTC fanboy, their camera just kept me away because I actually want to be competitive with others in that department. Here's to hoping they don't f*** up the M10

[G4 General] jasonleeg:

[G4 General] Abaddon:
Nah, wil definitely skip on the G5 I had the G2, G3 and the G4 which I sold a couple of days ago. these were nice phones but the issues were really annoying. esp with the G4's random SoC breaking down and the lack of LG's support for the dev community. I went back to my M9 and will definitely think twice on what to buy next.
[G4 General] DoKaTSuYa:
What do you mean "with the G4's random SoC breaking down" ?
[G4 General] Abaddon:
little or big cores eventually die and made the phone reboot randomly or the deadly bootloop of death. ? It plagued phones with S/N 509 and lower. only way to fix it is to have the motherboard replaced or the phone itself. happened to me thrice since the time I bought the G4 last july. and then eventually got one that starts with 510 last oct, since then no issues. but eventually I sold it because I miss cm/aosp based roms.
