Thanks for trying to help ... When connecting the charger the LED is fixed constant .. What does that mean?
[LG Optimus G (International)] MasterFURQAN:
The most probable explanation is that you're on a custom kernel and you've exhausted your battery to total zero. .

You can recharge it back by using a more powerful charger like a 2A/2000mA charger or above

(but not too much) like provided with Galaxy note 2/3/3 neo etc

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Hi,

A friend asked me to look at his Nexus 5.

It seemed as though his son was trying to flash a custom rom but somewhere along the way things went wrong and it got stuck on the boot animation.

I tried resetting it to factory using this thread.

Followed method 2 and finished it up with "Wipe data/factory data" reset. I did not however relock the boot loader.

I used the factory image 6.0.1 (MMB29S).

Everything went well, no errors, but even after doing all that the phone is still stuck on the boot animation. I tried redoing the "Wipe data/factory data" reset, but the phone is still stuck on boot animation.

I left for around 20 minutes with no change.

All the other threads I have read seem to indicate doing the "wipe data/factory data" reset should correct this issue but it hasn't seemed to help.

I also found this thread. The last post could possibly be another option.

Is there anything I can try? or is there a log I can look?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Boot the phone into fastboot and flash the userdata.img from the stock rom to the phone using the following command: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img. After flashing, boot into stock recovery using the volume and power button, wipe data and cache, reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Thanks for the reply.

I did as you suggested, unfortunately I am still stuck on boot animation.

I was just looking at the contents of the zip I downloaded from the developer site. The data stamps on the images seem old. Most date back to 2009. Perhaps I have downloaded the wrong files?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did the userdata.img file come from the mmb29s ROM? After flashing, did you immediately boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Yes the userdata.img did come from the mmb29s ROM. I have no other ROM files downloaded.

Yes I did I believe, if I recall correctly, these were my steps:

Booted phone into fastboot by pressing the power and down volume key

flashed the userdata.img using the command provided

Used the volume rocket to select "Recovery"

When the dead Android appeared I pressed the power button and up volume rocker to display the menu

Proceeded to the option to wipe and reset data

Rebooted the phone

I am pretty sure those were the steps I used.

Should I have rebooted first before going directly into Recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Yup, those are the proper steps.

When you wiped in recovery, did you see a line at the bottom that said something like "invalid format" or "could not mount" just before the data and cache partitions were formatted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
No I didn't notice any error messages unfortunately.

And I don't recall seeing any error messages during any of the other steps I have performed.

The commands all seem to successfully execute with no errors.

Does it at all make sense for me to go back and completely redo all the steps from the tutorial in my first post?

I can post the outputs from all the commands if you think that would at all be helpful?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I personally use method 1. Method 1 will cause the phone to reboot after flashing each partition and will probably cause the phone to be stuck at the boot logo. Press and hold the power button to force the phone to shut down. After finishing method 1, boot into fastboot mode and type these fastboot commands:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

Boot into recovery. At the bottom of the screen, you should see the statement "E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)". Choose the wipe data/factory reset option, then select wipe cache partition, and reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Okay perfect. I will give method 1 a try tonight (I am unfortunately at work right now).

I will report back tonight... hopefully with good news :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Everything looks fine. Did you boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe after flashing userdata.img?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Yes I did do that and did the clear of the cache as well since it posted that error message like you said it would.

So I did both as you explained.

I took a picture of the phone itself after the userdata wipe.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Hmm, I'm not sure what is wrong because you did exactly what I do every time I need to fix a bootloop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Well that sucks! :(

I had read that in some cases this can be caused by a hardware issue. Any chance it could be that?

Btw, the links I provided to the stock Google images, were they the correct images?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
These are the stock images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead

Did you try flashing a stock 4.4.2 or 5.01 image too?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
hi,

sorry for my late reply. I got sick and just didn't have it in me to try anything new.

I tried flashing 5.0.1 tonight and unfortunately wound up in another boot loop. I will have to try the steps again where you manually reflash userdata. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondesjustes:

My phone has the exact same problem as stated by OP. I even tried flashing kitkat and lollipop but the problem persist. The phone still stuck at boot animation screen. PLS help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Boot into ffastboot, relock the bootloader, and then reboot into fastboot. Does the bootloader remain unlocked?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondesjustes:
The bootloader is now locked. Still, I can't boot the phone completely. stuck at Google boot animation.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Itamar01:
Thanks qimuzhi!

Is it recommended to backup the IMEI / efs before replacing the recovery?

If so, can you point to (or add) relevant instructions?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
I have no idea what this is about. Is this a way to install TWRP on a rooted mi4c by dd even though bootloader is locked? Doesn't this work only when bootloader is unlocked?

What does qimuzhi want to tell us??
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Itamar01:
Basically, you can roll back to an older developer version with an unlocked bootloader and then install TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
This is a complicated way for anyone with a

working

locked bootloader Mi4c to downgrade the rom and flash TWRP:

You need to reboot to EDL ( Emergency DownLoad) mode, you can only do this from adb with working phone

Then flash an old unlocked rom with MIflash Tool (not sure this work with locked BL)

Then boot the phone, gain su right, and flash recovery whit dd command

You can save time after flashing the rom with unlocked bootloader, simply shut down the phone and boot in fastboot before the rom inizialization

With an unlocked phone you can simply push recovery from fastboot with " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command then boot into recovery
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
I see. It was known that you can go back to unlocked bootloader by flashing the stable 7.0.16.0 over the latest locked dev ROM, but this is a way to roll back to an older dev ROM with unlocked bootloader from the latest dev ROM as long as it's working (not boot-looping or softbricked.)

Is my understanding correct?

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

So, it doesn't have to be dev ROM 6.1.7, and you can also use stable 7.0.16.0 ROM instead?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
I think the stable build is the only possible to use from updater app...

He is using dev rom because he need su right to flash recovery in his way...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
The recovery partition is totally different from the area where efs is stored... You also asked the same question at miui.com, and someone already answered...

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-partitions-backup-t3003599

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

There are two kinds of ROM formats. One is recovery compatible ROM which you can flash from recovery or from updater app. You need to use full ROMs, not incremental ROMs (patch files) to switch between ROMs.

The other is what they call fastboot ROM which you can flash from bootloader or from miflash. Basically, fastboot ROMs are simply a zipped file containing all the partition images and scripts. miflash simply extracts images from a zipped file and automatically flashes the images in order. You can do it manually, using the bat or sh scripts in the same zipped file.

I think the point here is you can roll back to older ROMs using edl mode. Obviously, bootloader ignores the lock/unlock flag or ROM versions in edl mode at the moment until Xiaomi fixes this hole. (I suppose Xiaomi will disable edl mode soon...)

Once you are back on unlocked ROMs, I don't think you need su just for flashing recovery. You can simply go to bootloader and flash recovery by 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', can't you?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
yeah sure, i was not clear before, i mean you cant roll back from updater app with an old dev rom, but you can move to stable and this will unlock your bootloader

fastboot version is useless because the locked bootloader

I hope EDL will ignore the locked bl, but i cant verify with mi4c, in the past this worked with other manufacturer

like i said in a post earlier, if your phone is working there's no need to follow the procedure written by op, just flash stable through updater app and recovery from fastboot like you said

if they disable EDL mode then they could have trouble repairing phone in less than an hour like they do in china
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
No, it's opposite. Fastboot ROMs are useful because it was found that you can flash any fastboot ROMs locked or unlocked in edl mode at the moment!

Again, as you said, this method only works on a working phone. Not a savior for those who got their phones bootlooped...

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

I saw some people got bootloop while switching from dev ROM to stable 7.0.16.0 by updater app in order to regain unlocked bootloader. This method seems safer to me...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Itamar01:
Partitions Backup & Restore

Thanks for the link! Partitions Backup & Restore looks like a very useful app!

BTW, I managed to run TWRP from fastboot and make a backup of the system but it did not have the option to backup the EFS and the Modems
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
TWRP does not always come with efs backup option. It's dev's choice whether it's included or not. The method is all the same as Partitions Backup & Restore, anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
Maybe it's because the rom version? I know people who use the 7.1.6.0 to roll back...

If it's working could be safer, we need someone who can try and report back
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] qtotter:
True. Personally, I'd stay away from any ROMs with locked bootloader, and only use fastboot to flash images. Flashing ROMs including bootloader (locked or unlocked) via recovery or updater app seems kinda risky to me.

It looks like too many people who don't know what they're doing are playing with ROMs and bricking their Xiaomi phones. There are guides introducing flashing dev ROMs only for rooting. It's rather shocking...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ice-it:
Yeah I know, people actually don't know what they're doing and why, they read but they can't understand what's written, and take all for absolute truth...

Then they open a post here and there, crying and complaining :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] n1k3z0n3:
I have my mi4c locked. There is any method to put the device in EDL mode? I only can put him in fastboot and I can't run adb commands.

Hello and welcome to XDA! ( I'm Fede91 from en.miui :D)

Sorry, but it seems that adb is the only way, I've searched the net for days but every method I tried doesn't work...

I think we need to tamper with the hardware to put the phone in edl...

Hi Fede91 :D.

Yeah I did the same without any result :S. This is frustating :(. I allready created another account and I'm trying to get to diamond to see if I get an unlock code. I'm tired of waiting for another solution :(
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Kaschunuss:
Can you install a custom rom after doing this?

//EDIT:

Well this was to easy, I started out on 7.1.6.0 Global Stable (locked Bootlader), then I just flashed the 7.0.16.0 Global Stable, installed twrp via fastboot, then did "/fastboot oem unlock" which worked (don't know if it was necessary) and after all that installed sMIUI after doing a full wipe. sMIUI up and running! :D

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman987:
Hey guys

i need some tips or feedbacks. So ive been with the Galaxy since the S3, and each one ends up becoming the same. They are great when i first get them, then within the first 2 months, they pretty much turn into crap. The UI isnt smooth, things take a while to open, apps dont transition to another smoothly, opening texts,, going back and forth between texts and apps arent the best and i constantly get problems to the point i need to do a warranty exchange with tmobile.

Do you guys experience the same or are you phones super fast and fluid? Even with a rooted phone i experience the same. Whenever i test out my friends iphone, everything seems to be super quick and fluid, just not customizable and limited to what you can do

What can i do to improve my phone or this is just how these galaxies are?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Hiya

I find it's good to reboot every so often, and I also use the built in Smart Manager to Clean All, and I don't experience any lag.

I do run my phone pretty clean though and don't have a million useless Apps which does tend to slow it down.

Reboot and use the smart manager from time to time and you should be good to go. I also find that using Package Disabler, Nova Launcher and Anti virus Apps SLOW DOWN my phone and make it buggy and laggy.

I have now wiped it and left it fully stock and it multi tasks properly and is super quick.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman987:
Thanks for your response. i already do all that. I use clean master everyday to clear my phone of cache and boost it so all background running apps are closed. when rooted, i deleted all useless apps and bloatware. i do restart my phone but still, i face these problems. its just frustrating when using an iphone because everything is so fast! i just want to fix up my android to be the same but it always turns to ****. im now facing a problem where outgoing texts stays stuck on sending and doesnt go through so now i have to use a third party messaging app.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Seriously, cleanmaster?? Delete immediately! If you're rooted, why don't you freeze the bloats? Use amplify and greenify combo! Can't believe a rooted user uses cleanmaster:confused:

Clearing cache every time is not good and results in stutters as cache is meant to make loading times faster and usually only cleaned if there are signs of corruption!

Your description looks suspicious :confused:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman987:
lol i didnt know about that for cleanmaster, im new to the whole rooting thing so i didnt know. i already freeze the bloats using titanium backup. also, i had to update my phone because my call quality was all messed up. i updated my phone to baseband version DOJC. upon doing that, my phone is no longer rooted. where are the best places to go to download new files in order to root my phone again. i dont want to use my old files and risk messing up my phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
So if you're no longer rooted, you can't use titanium backup. No need to root the S6 as you won't be able to update and rooting without using custom roms isn't that great.

Use package disabler pro! It's enough. Put apps to always optimize in battery settings. Use a custom launcher like Apex or Nova. Update everything. Clear cache in storage menu and reboot. You should be good.

Try leaving at least 1GB out of your internal memory free, although its impact is not proved!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman987:
no, i meant i used titanium backup when i was rooted. im no longer rooted because i had to update my phone in order to fix some problems i was having. When i was rooted, i used a custom rom, twisted sixx version 3. i want to reroot my phone again, but i want to know if i need to download new files again to root if what i used last time is ok. last time i rooted was in septempber so my files are from that time frame. If not ok, where can i go to get the new files i need to root again? also with your phone, is everything usually fast and fluid or do you come across the problems i mention earlier as well?

thanks
