Nexus 5 in Bootloop after unlocking and installing TWRP 2.8.7.1

[gessi2000]

Hello,

I wanted to install a custom Rom on my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 so I downloaded TWRP latest and unlocked the Bootloader and installed TWRP.

Now the OS doesn't bootup anymore and the TWRP starts but gets rebooted all the time.

Tried to install an older TWRP version 2.8.70 and sideloaded and installed Pure Nexus Rom but this doesn't fix the problem.

Wiping anything from TWRP gives error messages...

Anyonw can help please!?

OK I have the stock recovery now installed from Android 6.0 and the OS boots up with Pure Nexus... looks OK,...

Anyway what's the problem with TWRP now!?

I don't think so. TWRP 2.8.7.1 is working fine for months. Did you full wipe before flashing your custom rom? Did you flash something else?

U need to install twrp 2.8.4.0 first because twrp 2.8.7.1 can only re-write on twrp 2.8.4.0 or higher..its work fine for me at official google M

That happened to me way back when I first used TWRP. From the official TWRP thread:
"If you have just used fastboot oem unlock, you should let the device boot up normally first before trying to install TWRP."

I think if you don't boot fully once before trying to install TWRP, it loops like that.
