Hi everyone,
Years ago I switched to nexus 5 because of a seriusly boot looped Gnexus. Now I'd like to fix it, if it's possible obviusly.
I can't remember how Gnex got bricked very well, but I can list some of my attempts to solve the problem. (I suppose you useful to know that the phone is unlocked and rooted with CWM recovery installed. Fastboot drivers are intalled in my windows 10 PC and also Unified Android Toolkit v1.6.4).
I tried to format everything by CWM with these options: "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "wipe dalvik cache", "format sdcard", "format system", "format cache", "format data", "format multimedia". After rebooting, if I go to "install zip from sdcard" I see that my data appears again. I suppose that operations from CWM failed. If I normally reboot the device, it gets bootlooped again.
I tried to flash a custom ROM stored in memory from CWM, but it seems that this operation doesn't work. I tried from toolkit and cmd promt too.
I tried to intall a new recovery like TWRP. After rebooting, CWM appears again. I also use cmd promt "fastboot erase recovery" but nothing happens.
If I try to unroot or lock bootloader again, a successful message appears in cmd window. After reboot nothing changes.
I tried removing battery before every attempts.
Someone can suggest other ways to fix my device?

I know it involves booting up into recovery mode, but I'm lost after that.
Go into ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery". Then the phone will reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then you will see various options, including "wipe cache partition". I presume that's the one you are after ? Or you can go into the "Advanced" bit and there's an option to wipe the Dalvik cache.
Basically I was running stock 2.2 on my phone and did the usual steps to root it, unrevoked 3 ran all fine clockworkmod recovery flashed fine, booted up first time round fine. But then I flashed the most recent version of super user and now every time I try to boot it just gets to the HTC logo turns itself off and starts again.
I have tried backing up and restoring, wiping data, sd, cache, dalvik and nothign has helped so far. And I can run the RUU for my phone because it wont run unless I am booted into android, please help me ><
SERIOUSLY? You didn't even LOOK.. not going to mention about searching.. There are SO many threads that could have helped you.. but the most obvious one to me would be the big TROUBLESHOOTING one that is right on the top of everything.
Right, sorry I did quickly look but I panicked a little bit. I shall make sure I look more effectively in the future ^^
I would use ADB to flash the old super user apk, or to flash a new rom.

BOOT PROBLEMS
"I just flashed a new ROM, and I get a bootloop.. Help!"*
"I just flashed a new ROM, and it just stays on the HTC screen"
"My phone randomly rebooted itself and now it won't boot"
*This is a fairly common problem, and is solved very easily.
Possible causes of bootloops/ phone stuck on HTC Screen:
- You are S-OFF, and you have not got the correct partition table that is required for the ROM.
- Some ROM's require an SD-EXT partition, you either have not got this or have not done it correctly.
- For whatever reason, the ROM did not install properly.
[1]To fix a bootloop/ stuck on HTC Screen:
[STEP1]- do a battery pull to power off the device (as this is the only way to do so when stuck in a bootloop)
[STEP2]- hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button to boot into the bootloader
[STEP3]- use the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons to navigate, and POWER to select. Navigate to RECOVERY.
[STEP4]- select "mounts & storage" and then select the following options
[STEP5]- format boot
[STEP6]- format system
[STEP7]- format data
[STEP8]- format cache
[STEP9]- format sd-ext (IF YOU HAVE IT)
[IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10a]- go back to the main menu, select "back up & restore", select "restore" and restore the latest working backup.
[IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BACKUP]
[STEP10b]- go back to the main menu, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", and flash a ROM which you KNOW works. If you have none, try my failsafe: CyanogenMod
- reboot system now
#PHONE STILL DOESN'T BOOT#
[IF YOU USED YOUR BACKUP, OR A ROM THAT IS NOT CYANOGENMOD]
- Repeat the process, and flash cyanogenmod instead of restoring a backup or a different ROM.
[IF YOU ARE USING A RECOVERY THAT IS NOT CLOCKWORKMOD 2.5.0.7]
- Download Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7.zip and place it in your sdcard.
- boot into recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and choose "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip"
- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards

Hi, I am running TWRP v2.2.2.1 and my kindle fire is rooted. When I go to flash a rom it seems like it is finished, but never gives me the success popup. It also says its verifying the partition sizes and filesystems. The home and restart buttons appear and so once I flash it I restart and the bootloader for each rom I have installed consistently just keeps loading indefinitely and never goes into the OS. Any idea's? In the mean time I have a backup and am running the stock os.
Restarting the bootloader selection puts your device in fastboot. Try selecting system after your flash that`s what you should be doing.

after i flash "wipe cache, home, and reboot system" appear. Do you mean reboot system or am I wrong. The success popup never showed up again.

Depends on what your flashing as far as the wipes go but yes when you select reboot then you select system if prompted. If you are flashing a completely different system. Wipe factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash Rom and flash gapps then select reboot and select system if prompted.
Edit: The final thing that TWRP does during a flash is verifying file systems and verifying partitions sizes. When you see the buttons show for wipe davik/cache and reboot this indicates the flash is complete even if it doesn't throw a successful statement
hello there, i have been searching this thresd but no answer.
im on 4.2.2 stock takju, When selecting the 'wipe cache partition' in stock recovery, the system reboots after a couple of seconds. I think it used to return to the recovery menu. Is that normal?
even with "fastboot erase cache" -----> same result.
so lads, I was bored and I went on to see the feats of the stock recovery. So I followed the "Asus Zenfone 2 | Resources all in one thread" guide and entered recovery
As I entered recovery, even though I'm rooted it worked without "fastboot erase cache" command. There I tried to "WIPE CACHE PARTITION" just to try it out, I left my phone there and about 10mins later it was still stuck on "erasing /cache" (*since in my every phone I've ever tried this was a matter of minute or two to perform the action"
I stupidly thought it was stuck, so force rebooted my phone and since then, I see the ASUS Boot screen and then I get the dead droid/error sceeen
How do I fix this, guys? Can I salvage my data?
Found Solution to this
I used the adb command "fastboot erase cache" to enter recovery again, in there I formatted the /cache partition (this time happened correctly), something that wasn't working in my initial try and then I rebooted the system, which worked just fine (no data loss or anything whatsoever)
