Was reading a PDF on my phone today when it suddenly crashed and is now stuck in a bootloop. Tried flashing factory images but no luck. Tried booting into twrp from fastboot didn't work. Reading some of the other posts I assume the phone is dead, has anyone got any suggestions?
thanks
Boot loop plus no recovery equals BLOD. Sorry but likely you are done.

I have a Nexus 4 with the latest OTA (LMY48T) that suddenly shut down one waking morning. It couldn't boot, couldn't charge, was unresponsive. Until I tried the "Power button + Vol down for 15 sec and then plug the charger" trick. I was able to bring it to charge powered off, and I thought that was that. After an hour or so, I got a bit impatient and tried turning the phone on while charging. It booted, but only until the boot animation, and then it stopped and shut down on its own. On the off chance that I was able to boot it again, it resulted in a boot loop: boots until the boot animation, stops, restarts. At this point the phone was bootloader locked, unrooted, stock everything.
Right now, I am able to occasionally access fastboot and recovery (its behavior is no longer consistent; I have to do the charging trick mentioned above quite a few times [it now fails on occasion] before I can make the phone enter fastboot). Through fastboot, I have been able to flash different builds: 4.2.2 (JDQ39), 4.4.4 (KTU84P), 5.1.1 (LMY48M), 5.1.1 (LMY48T). But all of them resulted in the same boot loop pattern. The phone boot loops until its battery drains. Yes, I've tried clearing the cache and factory resets after flashing but to no avail. Any idea what's happening? Is this a hardware issue?
I can't make it enter HS-USB QDLoader mode through the PC, hence I can't use the LG BoardDiag method. I also wanted to use the LGNPST method, but all the links for the resources I've found are now dead. Help!
Here are some videos of the boot loop:

When you say that you flashed different builds (KK, LP), it means you are flashing the factory images by wiping everything, right?
I would have tried to flash TWRP and then would have tried to flash any MM ROM. See if that helps
So I think my Nexus 6P is hard bricked, but I just want to be sure before I issue an RMA.
I was on a plane flying over the Pyrenees and opened the camera to take a picture. The phone froze and started rebooting, which I found strange really strange as it never happened before. Since then, it wasn't able to boot again. The phone is completely stock, running 7.0, apart from the unlocked bootloader that I had unlocked the day I bought it (March/April this year). The phone shows the unlocked bootloader warning, goes to the white Google logo with the padlock below, and then goes back to the unlocked bootloader.
From here I can Power + Vol down and get to bootloader, which I thought would leave me to recover the phone somehow. I know my way around nexus devices so the first thing I tried was scrolling in the bootloader menu and boot into stock recovery. No luck, unlocked bootloader warning, white Google logo and loop. Tried "Factory" in the menu and the same thing happens.
So then I've gained access to a computer and tried downloading a twrp recovery and boot into it. Ran fastboot boot twrp.img, the phone tries to boot again, and the same thing happens. Boot loop. After that, I've downloaded the latest stock Google images and I've run a different set of things, all with no luck. Booting directly from fastboot into stock recovery doesn't work. Flashing stock recovery and trying to enter stock recovery via bootloader menu doesn't work. I've erased and flashed bootloader, radio, and all other partitions (system, boot, recovery, vendor and cache), without any luck. The fastboot commands return "OKAY" but it seems like it's doing nothing.
I am out of ideas, I always thought I would be able to recover a Nexus phone as long as I could reach bootloader mode, but I guess I'm wrong. Should I RMA, or is there anything else I should try?
Thank you.
You say you "Ran fastboot boot twrp.img." Try to do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img from fastboot and see if you can get twrp working. Then try to flash a ROM

Done both, actually. Tried to boot directly from a fastboot command and then tried flashing the actual recovery image to the phone. No luck in both. Never able to get into twrp.
I had the same thing happening to me. I was also using stock 7.0 with an unlocked bootloader. My screen froze during webbrowsing and had to restart the phone. Once booting up, it never came past the Google logo. Getting into recovery didn't work either, just started looping again. Tried to flash twrp, got in there after many tries. Tried flashing all kind of android versions but nothing helped. After that I decided to just use my warrenty and send the phone to the store. They replaced the motherboard and are now sending it back.

Yep, I gave up already. Tried all different sort of thing, and was never able to get into any kind of recovery, let alone Android itself.
Called Google support yesterday evening, a replacement is on its way already.

Needed the RMA anyways. If you had an unlocked bootloader and formatted each partition and then flashed each partition with the corresponding image file from the latest factory image, it was shot. It happens from time to time. Happened to mine as well. 2 or 3 days after I finally got it (pre ordered on launch) I rebooted the phone at some point 2 or 3 days later and it just never turned back on. 100% bone stock. Not even an unlocked bootloader. Nothing would happen when I plugged it into a PC, left it on AC power for hours and hours and still nothing. Holding power 10-15 seconds, nada. RMA'd and luckily this one's been perfect ever since. Good luck with the new device!
about a week ago i have been playing some online game (LOD but doesnt matter i think) and suddenly the phone rebooted. "well happens" i thought. but after the google logo the rom didnt start. phone rebooted. unlocked warning screen and google logo loop.
i got ito bootloader and tried to start recovery. got the same result as when starting it normally.
"fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.img" said OKAY but again cant get into recovery just unlocked warning and google logo loop.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.1.img" said OKAY, rebooted the phone just to get another unlocked warning and google logo loop.
"fastboot format recovery" returned
Code:
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ''.
is that normal? shouldnt it return the normal formatting output like when i did "fastboot format cache" ?
can it be both boot and recovery partition's filesystems are messed up? if so how to repair/restore them?
can it be im also a victim of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/endless-bootloop-nexus-6p-t3512377 ? really need to RMA my phone?

Yes, if you cannot fastboot flash or fastboot boot recovery there is no solution. There is another thread on BLOD here.
got it back from rma. took 8 days only. reflashed purenexus and everything restored from gdrive.
basically i got a new phone except my scratched case and maybe my battery. mainboard replaced.

Hey,
Just out of curiosity... Can you boot to bootloader, scroll to barcode, press power and tell us the manufacturing date, please?
Thanks...

I have tried flashing both TWRP and the original recovery through Fastboot but the phone just won't boot to neither recovery. If I try to boot recovery, the phone gets stuck to the first boot screen with white oneplus logo in the middle.
Im running OxygenOS 3.1.0 on my OnePlus 2 device. The phone has encryption but I can't remove it. There is no option in settings to remove the encryption and if I try to do a factory reset through settings, the phone reboots and gets stuck the same way when I try to boot to recovery.
I can still boot to my current ROM but I wan't to get rid of it. I can't think of any way to decrypt the phone and I think this recovery issue is encryption related. The phone booted fine to both recoveries before I encrypted the phone. Is there any way to remove this retarded encryption? I want the phone completely wiped clean and start fresh. I will never encrypt my phone again...
You should try second method in this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-2.347607/
It will restore the phone back to original.
Hope this helped.

I solved this issue just now by using this OnePlus 2 unbrick guide from YouTube:
For me it didn't boot straight away to the recovery like at 2:16 in the video (my phone got stuck again to the OnePlus logo screen). I had to turn off the phone first and then boot again to make it work. Case SOLVED!

I'm not familiar with Google phones but I suggest you try to find unbrick guide for your phone model if nothing else works. Good luck!
Was just using it today morning and it froze up on me... I held the power button and forced shut it down. Then I tried booting it up. It goes to the warning screen (Cause I have unlocked my phone.) Then it takes me to the google white logo screen thing and yeah, just turns off, back to the warning screen then back to the google screen. I was rooted with twrp recovery. Phone wont even boot into recovery, just keeps repeating those steps. I tried using the nexus toolkit as well, to boot into a temporary recovery, no luck. I even used the bricked/wont turn setting. Which just flashed all the stock images into the phone. But same thing, over and over again.
Seems like i have the bootloop death and nothing seems to bring it up. My question is how do I go about contacting google and trying to get a different device? Or something they can help me with? I brought it from amazon (my dad did.) So no idea what to do... Is there a email or a contact no?

I have exactly the same problem. I was on O dev preview 3 and today it bootlooped randomly. Now it wont go beyond google screen. Ive tried flashing factory images of N and O preview 3, with and without wiping. Ive also tried relocking the bootloader, relfashing stock recovery and twrp....

Do you get any errors when you fastboot FORMAT sytem, userdata and cache?

Yeah same issue with me. Download a bunch of images and tried flashing it, no luck. Can't even go to any other screen other than the google white logo and bootloader. This sucks, wish I never brought this piece of ****. So much issues with this phone.

No, I did not attempt that. Somehow miraculously, when I was chatting with customer support, the phone booted in after about 2 hours of bootlooping. However, I had wiped it by then. I read somewhere about allowing the bootlooping phone to bootloop for sometime. Then it would get in and we would have to change some kernel settings related to the big CPU cores.
I did no such thing , however, I do not know when the problem will reoccur.
Also had the bootloop when flashing N2G48B. Flashed N2G47W and now boots again.
