Hey All,
New to XDA but been using this site years so my level of Android knowledge is not bad.
I am currently having a huge problem with my Nexus. I used Google Apps encryption on it recently and that seems to have bricked my phone. I am unable to reset to factory settings to wipe the encryption as recommended by Google and I am stuck now with a bricked Nexus.
I also tried flashing stock roms with Odin which appears to work but the encryption still remains. All I am trying to do is put the stock back on my phone and re-root but I am having no joy. When using CWM to flash a new rom the system does not mount in recovery mode so I can't load any other roms. I have also tried the fastboot method but it stalls on waiting for device all the time.
If anyone has seen this and can help or if anyone just knows how to fix it please help me! I am stuck now with a useless Nexus. I should have just left it alone but as usual I couldn't.
Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you.
By some chance is your phone both rooted with CWM?
Hey, yeah it was so when I did a factory reset it could'nt use the stock bootloader so it didn't know how to wipe it. Unfortunetly once you apply encryption from a Google Apps the only way to remove is to factory reset.
I got around it by fastbooting the stock bootloader, radio and image from Google. Then I completed a manual reset using the original bootloader.
A world of hurt really! I have learned a lot but never going near Google Apps encryption again. It also slowed down the phone too.
Anyhow all sorted now, re rooted and running revolution rom now.
theres another thread with a guy who had the same problem. I wonder if vzw nexus has an issue with encrypting...
If the phone wasn't rooted I would have had no issues. It is simply a problem when it comes to loading roms. In CWM the recovery cant mount the data/system so you can't flash anything. Also doing a factory reset from settings doesnt work because the phone is looking for a stock bootloader which it doesn't have once you root. So I ended up in a loop and could do nothing. Fortunetly I learned all about adb and fastboot this morning, never heard of them before and that allowed me to reload stock and unroot. I still had to wipe the phone using the bootloader as I couldn't get into the phone or past the encryption.
If anyone is having issues with this I will gladly help as I really thought that my phone was bricked and was very frustrated. The only way I got help was from a guy on this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392037&page=3
Hi,
a friend of mine had an issue with his Gnote 3 Neo (N7505XEF). Restart again and again and again.
I saw it and I said that I was able to fix it.
Went to recovery, wipe data/cache.
Reboot, and phone starts an update of sytem.
Before the end, bootloop on "galaxy note 3 lite" screen. Noway to have "samsung" bootanimation.
I ask him if he had installed an app recently. No for 4/5 days, and no issue since.
An OTA came sometimes ago and no issue with it.
So, I took his phone and expect to flash a stock firmware with odin. That what I've done with latest french firmware (5.1.1)
Reboot and.... bootloop
Sometimes, bootanimation "samsung" appears but doesn't go to the end of process, and restart the phone in "galaxy note 3 lite".
I wiped everything, test some others firmwares from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.
I can always enter recovery and download mode, but the issue is usually the same, bootanimation doesn't finish.
I search everywhere but found nothing.
I remember with my old Gnote 2 that I had to install stock recovery once to solve a starting problem, but here, I can enter recovery, so I don't think that it is the same error.
Perhaps a kernel issue? I don't know, and I can't find them on the web!!
The phone has always been full stock, with no tweaks (root, custom recovery or rom....) The issue arrives without any signs. Hardware problem? Perhaps, but never been drown or wet....
What do you think I can do to solve this? Cause at the moment, I don't see haw I can!!
Thanks for all.

Excuse my bad english.
Keep trying and making a factory reset could help after installing a new rom. But I can't see more things.
Excuse my english, I'm french
Hoping someone can help with this. I was having problems with my Zenwatch yesterday (a lot of force closes of various apps) and decided to reset the watch through settings to see if this fixed the problem. Was able to do that, the watch seemed to reset but now hangs at the initial Asus splash screen. I can get into fastboot or recovery (and tried resetting again and wiping cache through recovery) but the problem remains. I do not believe I had enabled USB debugging (and not sure it matters) but cannot seem to get my laptop to recognize the watch so I cannot push new firmware through ADB. Any suggestions?
same here................ please help

Hi,
I think I can help you.
I made a post with the instructions to reflash stock system image.
Hope it helps! :fingers-crossed:
I was running the latest version of TWRP and a rooted version of the LG G6 port. Everything was stable and worked fine. So I was ready to give it back to its owner who I had modded it for. I went into the settings menu of the phone and did a standard factory reset to remove my account that was logged in so I could test the phone out before giving it to the owner. well when it finished resetting and rebooted, its been stuck in a boot loop ever since.
Tried just clearing both Dalvik Cache and Cache, to no avail. Tried Reflashing the rom and starting over. Still nothing. Tried flashing a different rom. Still nothing.
So what else can I try? and also if its the only thing I can do, rest it all the way back to stock factory everything. How do I do that on this phone. What program do I need and what files. and whats the steps to complete the process.
Thank you in advance for all help that is given
i factory reset in twrp and turned on developers options after first boot then reflashed twrp i always forget backup lol or delete it or use kdz you flashed before anyway i can help i will if you still need
if you have tried to flash the same custom rom or another is still not working, flashes with the program "lg up", you will need a kdz file,and the corresponding drivers. if with that you can not watch this tutorial before doing anything.
if you have a backup made with twrp, it flashes again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/unbrick-lg-g4-brick-hs-usb-qdloader-t3542785
during this process you will have to disassemble the back of the phone, (plastic) you do not need to remove the motherboard completely from the phone, anyway if you can enter download mode try with lg up tool.
if you need help around here we are.
Well now in the process of trying to fix it. The phone bricked and will no longer turn on at all. Is there anyway to fix this ?

Can you get into download mode?
Also, it's possible you have been hit by the bootloop
Hey everyone,
I’m stuck in a Bootloop and can’t get out of it... I was messing around with magisk and had installed riru core yahfa but after a reboot I got stuck.
i tried safemode (holding volume down) can’t enter it.
i still can enter download and stock recovery. Repairing Apps or deleting cache doesn’t fix the issue.
i flashed my Firmware via Odin which didn’t solve the issue... even with patched boot.img and stock still I’m stuck.
is there anything else I could try? Something like adb maybe? Would appreciate any help.
This is the massage I get every time after 2 failed reboots...
I am absolutely no specialist. I can't really help you that much but the 2 things that come to mind are try factory resetting. If it does not help flash the stock ROM using Odin.
Factory reset and reroot again
