Installing UT on N5 stuck in boot loop

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity said in Installing UT on N5 stuck in boot loop:

sudo apt install fastboot

Yes, the N5 was connected. and do I run the second command now? sudo apt install fastboot

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr yes install fastboot then do fastboot devices

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr did it show a device with either fastboot or adb?

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity Here are two lines showing the adb sequence. I didn't go far to find them. I only ran the first command once and not the second. this refers to the second pair of commands. The first pair I rand the first command twice and the second once.

[jjconstr]

@jjconstr copy and past failed.

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity adb was repeated in the output

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr if no devices showed up after inputting adb devices it doesn't see it. If a device showed up, type:

adb reboot recovery

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr same with fastboot. Which indicates it is your power switch that is bad

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr yes install fastboot and dependencies

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity What would a 'device showing up" look like?

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity Do I run sudo apt install fastboot a second time?

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity I typed y to continue that second time. I finished.

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr a bunch of numbers and device name under List of devices attached"

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity said in Installing UT on N5 stuck in boot loop:

List of devices attache

i'll look.

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity if no devices showed up after inputting adb devices it doesn't see it. If a device showed up, type:

adb reboot recovery

Looked for devices, found none. Do I run sudo apt install fastboot or the command for use after no devices are found?

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr if you tried

adb devices and fastboot devices, the device is not getting far enough to be able to do the adb reboot recovery command. In that case, it is likely your power switch that is the problem

[jjconstr]

@rocket2nfinity Ok, the power switch is on order. I check the videos and go that route when the switch arrives. I bought a hot air gun and a micro solder kit for such an occurrence, so will be good to go. Thanks for troubleshooting it. It was impressive.
Good night,
jjconstr

[rocket2nfinity]

@jjconstr You're welcome. Ask away if you run into trouble when you do the switch install

[hammerhead]

After you do the switch install, try

fastboot devices

again.
You should see something like

List of devices attached
01a819eb0c59b252	device

If so, then open ubports-installer and follow the instructions. Select "Select device manually", then "Nexus 5". From here on, install as normal.
