I had installed CM13 on my Nexus 5. Everything was working fine. Today I woke up to see Nexus 5 won't even get passed to CM android logo when starting. I then tried to go to boot loader. Hopefully, it opened and I navigated to Recovery and opened. But phone also stuck at TWRP logo. I also noticed when phone starts Google logo takes a little more time to disappear than before. I waited a lot for this but it stuck forever. Actually phone was in charging but battery connector was removed when I saw it in the morning. So it kept rebooting at Google logo. I don't think that could be an issue as it already happened before.
Now all I care about is my data. If I flash TWRP using fastboot, will it work? Will my data be removed? Please reply as soon as possible. I am so concerned about this. Thank you
It might be a little Late but yes you should be able to flash a fresh recovery..without loosing your data

I'm running twrp 2.6.0.0 and cm10.2 nightlies. I have no issues with the rom, everything works perfect. But just about every boot or restart it gets hung on the Samsung unlocked boot screen and I have to pull the battery,then the next time it gets past it. Also when I boot into twrp, it does the same thing. I pull the battery and then it finally boots into recovery. Almost always it works the second time but sometimes it take 3 or 4.
Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? It's done it to me with touchwiz roms too. Could it be an issue with Loki or twrp?
My Rooted Nexus 7 was working perfectly. Now I am not sure If it is Soft Bricked or something else is wrong with it, It was charging one day and I took it off one micro usb charger and put it on another Nexus 7 charger. I went back and turned it on, Now it was stuck in bootloop, I have seen bootloops before, but not like this. It turns on and goes to the lock screen, then after a few second it freezes then restarts. I have been able to quickly log in boot into safe mode but it still freezes and restarts, I made it to the app menu once and then it sad , Unfortunately Launcher has stopped, I have cleared the cache and dalvik cache and nothing works, I have bootloader version 4.1.3 and CWM version 6.0.1.9, I have tried to format tablet and factory reset with cwm recovery but when I turn it back on I still see my stuff and I still reboots, I have tried to restore from a backup from a while ago with cwm but it fails. I tried to use nexus toolkit but I dont remember my version and I cant check, I gave it a guess but It can not find my device when plugged in, even in recovery mode, It said something about fastboot but i think i did that but I am not 100% sure what it is, I need to get this workig again fast.
---Edited: After trying to start for the 10th time, it booted just fine. Seems like its time for some backups ^^

Dear forum,
i flashed LOS on my Samsung galaxy S4 a few months ago, together with TWRP. No problems, only thing i detected is that when i plug the device in when its shut down, the vanilla loading logo pops up for a few secs, then the LOS one shows up and loads normally.
Now I have the following problem:
My phone had low battery, shut itself off, i plugged it in and restarted it immediately. It booted just fine, after a few mins i noticed that the sim card was disconnected, shortly after my phone shut off itself.
Now I can't boot it up into system or TWRP and there is no or just the stock loading screen but stuck at the first frame.
When booting into system, it shows the galaxy s4 front then gets black, and when trying to boot into TWRP it shows the blue loading kernel? logo on top and then shuts off
Pls help as i need my phone ^^
Thank you
Mrluca
Hey guys,
so my Nexus 5x all of a sudden shut itself down all of a sudden and was stuck in a bootloop (in this case I'm talking about the thing always booting until the Google logo and then restarting itself). Fortunately for me the device was still unlocked (but for some reason I didn't have TWRP installed anmore...) so I tried to install an earlier factory img. Turns out I didn't have enough space on my phone to unpack, so being a smartass I thought 'Hey, locking the device wipes all of my stuff.' Well... Should have thought about how to unlock it again.
Current state is:
1 the phone boots until Google logo and then is stuck (no more rebooting though)
2 when I try to enter Recovery mode it boots until Google logo and then reboots to state 1
3 the device is locked so I can't flash anything from my PC
So does anyone have an idea what's left to do other than smashing the thing against the wall, burning it to ashes and dancing around the fire? I am currently messing around with those instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679
but it doesn't seem I can unlock the phone from my PC (which was what I guessed but I'm pretty much clutching at any straw now...)
Thanks in advance
Hi guys,
first of all thank you for taking your time and reading through this. I'm not completely new to android, nor using fastboot and recovery. I flashed a few phones over the past years I even resurrected bricked ones. However I have no idea what is happening to my Honor 8. One thing to mention, it's the latest Nougat update, and a STOCK ROM.
It all started this afternoon. The phone suddenly reboot while using it. After that, the android screen came on, then Honor animation and.. freeze. Completely. I had to reboot using the long press method since it was stuck between the bootloader and the rom itself. It started up ok after that.
An hour passed, and while I was typing a message, it froze again. I could go back to home but the phone was really slow. After opening up Messenger again, it froze completely. Had to restart again with the long-press reboot method. It started up ok, entered the sim pin and upon entering the screenlock code it froze again, completely. Long-press reboot, again.
Since then, the phone won't boot. It gets stuck every time on "Honor powered by Android" for about a minute, then it reboots itself. I even got some weird green screen with a blue and a red rectangle, but that just stopped after a few reboots.
I mentioned that I know how to recover and fix stuff when something acts weirdly, but that's not the case, I can't do ANYTHING. No fastboot, no recovery, no button combinations, I can't even turn off the phone. It just keeps rebooting on and on, and yes, the battery will eventually die, but I have no access to any recovery options. I even tried dload but no luck.
It's still under warranty so I can send it back but I just rather fix it at home (without taking it apart), because I don't want to wait 3 weeks to get fixed. But it seems like that is the only option right now, I have never ever seen anything like this happen.
Any help or comment is appreciated. Even if it's not possible to do it at home (hardware issues?), I am really curious what can be the cause of this issue (damaged rom, filesystem permission issues?).
Thanks.
