[Q] Perma Brick?

neoneras · Feb 17, 2014

My friend was running completely same setup of latest RastaKat + trinity kernel on N5. This morning device rebooted randomly with factory settings and reported Gallery and Camera stopped working after booting to Android, SIM card was not recognized and internal storage was unavailable. I tried to flash full stock firmware package, unfortunatly cache and userdata coudn't be erased/formated, flashing failed (tried force flash setting on recovery and flash manually as well).
Phone boots to same old RastaKat ROM after everything I've done to him.
I'm completely lost, is it a hardware fault or simple software incident? Any help appreciated and sorry for my English

Does the phone show up on the computer/device manager? if so, does it have the name it used to have?

Yep, it responds to fastboot commands with either success or failed responses. It shows in my computer under media devices but I can't access internal storage.

Flash memory failure (emmc bug), i`am afraid there is nothing you can do anymore. The motherboard has to be replaced.

thanks for replies. Well, now only thing that's left is to convince warranty that is emmc problem and should be covered as warranty

Well it's not me, my N5 is running like a charm. My poor friend on the other hand had PC HDD failure last week and this week his Nexus died. Well that's karma, because recently he was cheating on his girlfriend

Indeed, Google Knows, Google punishes.
Ok, warranty is a pain in the ass in my country. Any ideas how can I completely kill nexus so it doesn't turn on anymore?
