My device decided to randomly encrypt itself after using the CM12 port that is available. How this happened is beyond me. Anyhow, I tried to do a factory reset... Nothing would mount because the device was encrypted. So, I thought it would be a great idea to flash a different recovery. By now, I have flashed over 6 recovery images (all different) even the stock. Fastboot says that the transfer went through successfully only to find when I try to boot into recovery, it boots into fastboot instead.
Yes the device is unlocked.
I don't know if there is a ROM on it, but when i try to start it normally, it wont boot past the splash screen (before the boot animation)
Please help, as this is the only phone I am stuck with for a long time
Here's a thread with people that have a similar problem. There are some suggestions of what to do in there, but personally none of them worked for me. I ended up having to send it back to Amazon.

Never factory restore when you have a Custom ROM as it isn't made to reset with the devices stock hardware and causes things to go crazy.
Always use a nandroid of the original system with root, then unroot, then factory restore from that.
Also. YouTube search - HTC Desire 816 root unlock bootloader.
Use the .exe recovery from that video in fastboot at least twice without exiting fastboot or rebooting.
Now try the recovery.

When you were on the stock recovery, could you wipe partitions?
Also what model do you have?

Hello, I've recently acquired the htc one x from a friend, i came from the sensation. I was trying to do some rom jumping today and put myself into a bit of a pickle.
what you alls need to know is that i accidently deleted the back ups. and now i have no roms to flash and none installed. I can get to twrp and mount to usb, but on the computer end it says i need to format disk before I can do anything. Since that's not really an option I seem to be stuck with no roms and no way to get a rom on it. I would like to put clean 5.0 back on and stick with that until i can better grasp the adb process on the one x. Any help would be appreciated, thank you -

what are you talking about!? if you flash a rom (clean 5.0 in your case) you will also have to flash its boot.img to get it running!
at the end of the rom installation process it says it flashes the boot image for you.

ok, i'll take it from the top- turn on phone into bootloader. I can no longer get to recovery. I have tried flashing twrp to no avail. when i reset it will go to cleanrom and bootloop. I need to completely reset and re install recovery and rom. just can't get it working for some reason
fastboot erase cache
Go recovery and erase the cache and dalvik cache.
i would but now recovery goes to boot loop, even after i try and flash recovery (twrp and cwm)
fastboot erase cache
i have erased cashe in fastboot through one x tool kit and fastboot flasher. now it goes to the rom and the rom crashes and re boots. :/ how can i wipe and re install rom through fastboot?
also if i click recovery it goes to white htc screen with red dev warning text, then loops
I don't know. I don't know what your tool is doing.
Have you tried reflashing latest recovery? I recommend clockworkmod 5.8.4.0.
is that for gsm ? mine is att version, dk if that matters here

You're asking questions about a dual core snapdragon phone in a forum for a quad core Tegra3 based phone and you only wonder out loud now whether that matters?
Yes. Yes it does.

Hello guys,
So basically my phone shut down while I was using the app drawer. And it got into a boot loop. The phone is rooted, and it has Lean Kernel and Paranoid Android 3.6 installed on it. It tried to factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, basically do everything in the recovery mode, but it still wouldn't boot. So then I formatted the sd card, and everything else there was to format. And now the phone is just stuck on the word Google. I understand (guess) that's because I've formatted the internal memory. How do I get to flash a rom to the phone now? The computer can't seem to get a connection via USB while the phone is stuck on the word Google. Thanks for your help

I tried installing this kernel and this rom. But it still doesn't boot up. It seems that the kernel is installed on the phone, but the rom isn't, because the command line on the phone doesn't actually write Done or anything else, it just sits there for a while doing nothing.
why dont you flash back to stock using fastboot?
Been there and the "Nexus Root Toolkit" by WugFresh really came in handy. Used the software to go back to stock and since then no problem

Via fastboot flash the recovery first and restore from there
and then see..
it should boot up..
or
just flash a stock rom too then.

Ok, so I'm trying the Nexus Root Toolkit right now to get back to stock. But the log shows that archive does not contain:'boot.sig' , 'archive.sig', and 'system.sig'. The process was finished, and it says that stock was isntalled on the phone, but it still stuck in boot loop. It says in the CMD that it might be stuck in boot loop for 5-10 minutes, but it will eventually boot. But the phone still doesn't. And I've also tried to install each .img file through fastboot using this guide. But it still seems to be stuck in bootloop. I've been waiting for 5 minutes, but I'll keep it on for longer...
Update:
Ok, once it showed that :"apps are updating x out of y" and then it started looping again, and then another time it booted until the place where I could choose my language, aaaand it started looping again.

Well that is a progress
Try to update the recovery using Nexus Root Toolkit. Push the stock ROM using the advanced option and then flash the stock again using recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

try to lock your bootloader. if its still unlocked after you reboot your phone, your emmc chip is fried.
Having the bootloop. I've tried the Universal Nexus Tool for Linux and get no boot SIG and recovery SIG error.
I can't get it to boot at all. :/

I locked it with "fastboot oem lock" and after taking out the battery it says that the bootloader is locked. So I guess the emmc chip is fine?
By the way, is emmc memory related in anyway to the Lagfix(fstrim) app that I've got from Google Play to speed up my Nexus? Maybe the problem is somewhere there?
Also, If I'd locked the bootloader and took it to the Sprint store, would they try to fix it even though I had the phone for more than a year?
I've tried everything and still a bootloop. No matter if I recover to stock or flash a custom ROM.

Fixed the problem by buying a Nexus 5...
Hi,
there are several threads on this forum dealing with nexus devices that get stuck at the google logo when booting up, however my case is a little different:
I can not even get into recovery.
Here's the symptoms:
The touchscreen became unresponsive. I read that fixing the cache partition helps and it did.
From time to time my device would get stuck at google logo on boot, but i was still able to get into recovery, wipe cache and it would work again. This happened 2-3 times over the course of the last 3 weeks maybe, so i thought its just some minor hangup
2 days ago the device became unresponsive again and i was unable to get into recovery. I have tried several times and once i was lucky to get into recovery (it showd google logo, but when i pressed the power button to turn it off i got into recovery)
now nothing will work. i can get into the bootloader no problem and fastboot is in a working condition
i have tried flashing the factory image using the files provided by google. So far no success
Does anyone know something else to try?
EDIT: aniket0317 suggested using Wugfresh's Root Toolkit which includes a script to unbrick in case of bootloops. That seems to have worked.
Flashing back to stock is a first step, to ensure it's nothing in the software. What do you mean by "So far no success"?
Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. There is a option named Stock Flash+Unroot (Bootloop). The device should be able to get into fastboot mode, though.

EDIT 2: Yes it worked, at first. Now the device is stuck in a bootloop again. I can boot into team win recovery, but touch doesn't work there so I can't do anything. Booting CWM from fastboot is also not suceessful.
What do you mean CWM is not successful, that there's no touch response? If all else fails, you can use the non-touch version of CWM, using the side buttons to navigate. But I'd be concerned if screen touches are not being recognized.
CWM dont start. Only twrp. Is there a TWRP non touch version?
There's no non-touch version of TWRP that I know of, since its design is based on touch.
What do you mean by CWM won't start? It just freezes? Did you flash the correct one?

Yes, i used this version for Regular N7 2013, but still frozen in the google screen.
I have the same problem.
Stuck on google logo. It boots Fastboot only. It does not boot system or recovery.
What I have done so far:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed preview android L successfully But it did not boot. Then i Installed android 4.4.4. Successfully But still nothing. Then i flashed android 4.3 with the same result. Lastly i flashed TWRP to try and flash a zip, but again it does not go past the google logo. Everything i flash goes successfully or at least there are no errors on the logs. I have used wugs nexus toolkit to flash everything. I can see the bootloader version being changed after flashing different android versions, so i can confirm it is flashing bootloader at least.
My conclusion:
I think there is a hardware problem but I don't know how to troubleshoot what is wrong.
If anyone has any suggestion. It will be much appreciated.

What if you flashed the stock factory recovery/ROM, or is that what you mean by 4.4.4 and 4.3? Don't use a recovery to flash the individual .img files, just run flash-all.bat and see what it does.

Yes. I flashed the factory images using wugs nexus toolkit and ticked the option flash stuck + unroot (bricked or bootlooping) to see if it would work as mentioned by OP. All factory images flash successfully all partitions, but it does not boot recovery or system. I tried different android versions hoping it would make a difference and tried booting recovery after flashing each image (4.4.4 and 4.3). I haven't tried typing the command flash all.bat myself to flash the image as you suggested. I've used the toolkit to make it easier. I'll try flashing stock typing command flash all.bat myself and report.

So I got an adapter (Finally) for my nexus 5x. Went home and got the WugFresh nexus toolkit. Made a backup, and things were going fine, and then hit root and install twrp. It installed and booted into twrp, and it gave me the not rooted message and rooted me. I restored the backup. So I rebooted it, saw it was doing the boot animation, and came back this morning to it being dead (I had it plugged into my desktop, thought it wouldn't have lost more than 1% of battery when I woke up). I tried booting it up, and it was booting forever and I concluded was bootlooped. Now, when I try to boot into recovery, I get the little android guy dead with the red triangle on top of him. Please help, I'm 14 and don't really know what to do because all my previous rootings went fine. Thanks!
You are on stock recovery. Flash TWRP if you want custom recovery and flash/wipe, or use the factory images to go back to stock. Any experience with adb and fastboot? I'd recommend using fastboot so you have an idea of what's going on and understand how to fix your phone in the future.

yeah when i try and boot into recovery is when i get the red triangle above the android guy. there is literally no recovery there. Otherwise, yeah i would flash the firmware
Help!!! My Nexus device is totally messed up. It has ______ problem. What do I do?? @ wugfresh.com since you're already using that toolkit.
if your pc/NRT doesn't recognize your phone check the drivers and consider reinstalling them (the toolkit apparently has an option for that as well). also try playing around with the rotation of your adapter/cable. yes, usb c is supposed to work both ways, but some (cheap) cables seems to have different properties depending on the rotation.

There is, its just the stock recovery. Go to the bootloader and flash TWRP using fastboot. If you have driver issues you might have to manually select the driver I normally have to the first time.

I'm new to the 5X but have been using Nexus devices for a while. The 5X is different though. From my understanding, the data on the device is encrypted. TWRP can't read the contents on the internal storage as it is. At least not on the Dev Preview. In order to allow it to read the storage, you need to decrypt the data which means you need a custom boot.img. There is one around here somewhere. just fastboot flash it and install TWRP again. I can't recall if it wipes the data so you might want to backup your TWRP backup to a computer before doing it. After flashing everything, move your backup back to your device and restore it.
Don't just take my word for it though. Read through stuff first. That's just my basic understanding of how it works to get you started.
EDIT: depending on how you got the preview on your device, if you opted in for the beta and got the OTA, you can sign out of the beta and another OTA will be sent to your phone to revert back to Marshmallow. Then go through the process of installing TWRP and your backup. This will probably be faster than I mentioned above. But transfer your backup to your computer first because that does wipe your device.
