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
I have a serious problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy s II Tmobile for about a year now I have had it rooted since day one with not one problem with it. I mostly have had installed custom roms is all. I Just recently updated to CM10.1 nightlys with no trouble. I thought I would update the custom recovery since its been a while I went from 5.0.2.7 and updated to 6.0.2.8 and this is where everything went wrong. my phone went into a bootloop at first wouldn't load at all I went into recovery restored to a cm 10 which was working before which now is doing a boot loop. and i restored back to 2.3.5 rooted and that worked. but with some serious problems. I can't download anything like from the web or play store at all I keep getting this error code 492. I was thinking ok well I'll just put a fresh copy of cm10.1 back on the phone flashing it through recovery and nothing it froze. I played around with this new recovery and found out that I can't install anything through recovery can't fix permissions won't format won't wipe cache or factory reset and it won't even reboot the phone the only thing i got it to do was restore to 2.3.5. well I thought ok well I'll just start over again by unrooting the phone and start at square one again. no problem as the phone isn't bricked but when I hooked it to the computer now its not recognizing it. it comes up as unknown device which worked yesterday and never had a problem before i tried uninstalling drivers off my computer reinstalling them to no success. however I thought If I somehow get rom manager back on the phone i can reinstall 5.0.2.7 back on which i did come up with the idea to use kies air for that which did work. but I couldn't get back to 5.0.2.7 by doing that does anybody have any suggestions that can help me out my phone is working i can do everything that it is suppose to do make call connect to the mobile web, wifi but i want back on my custom rom can anybody help thanks
So I recently learned that there was a CM12 update for my phone, so I downloaded the zip file, Gapps, and a new kernel. I deleted all the cache, delvik cache and all that fun stuff and flashed all the new zips. It finished and I clicked reboot phone and it said "Phone might be un rooted, fix now" Obviously I clicked yes. Waited for it to boot and it froze and started all over again. I finally said I am just going to restore the back up but it would not work. So thinking that maybe I have to get rid of everything in my phone I downloaded Darkside super wipe and ran it. It cleaned everything, flashed CM 1O the old Gapps, and the old kernel I used to have. Still no luck still stuck in a boot loop and not only that after I super wiped now CWM wont work at all. I try a function and it does not do anything. Also my phone wont connect thru odin mode. Any ideas or explanations? Its obviously not bricked cause I can still go into CWM but CWM wont work at all.

Hello,
today I accidentally tapped on "Update" (to 7.1.1) on my rooted Nexus 5X... Something you usually shouldn't do, but it was 2am and I was tired and.... Doesn't matter. After this my phone rebooted and almost instantly showed the dead android with the message "No command". And now I'm stuck there. After rebooting I still land there.
Since the error message almost instantly appeared and since I still can boot into TWRP (3.0.2-2), I think the update wasn't installed and I hope to find a way to avoid the factory reset of my phone. Do you have some tips or possible solutions what I should do in this case?
Thank you for your help.
Its odd this happened, when rooted and twrp installed. in my experience, the update will just simply fail and it will boot back up.... in your case, it sounds like something flashed but the phone didnt like it.... All I can think of is if you cant get into twrp, boot into fastboot and flash the factory image from google, you will loose all data though.....
EDIT, RE-READ you post, if you CAN get into TWRP, try flashing a backup... you should have a backup I hope, lol... First rule of root and flashing is make a backup asap....LOL
When I rooted my phone I did a backup. But the problem is, it was several months ago. So I tried the only method I could save all my data. It wasn't safe, I knew this, but no risk no fun.
My solution was: Download the ota update from Google and flash it with TWRP... Voila! My phone boots properly with the new update... But this method is like I mentioned before not safe and can probably cause a boot-loop with an overwritten recovery. I had to flash my recovery again, but everything works fine now.
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.

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 ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you get into download mode?
Also, it's possible you have been hit by the bootloop
