Edit : N5 also seems to be affected in a different way.
Sometime after a cold boot i get : bootlogo ("Nexus 5 powered by Ubuntu Touch....") then dark screen for 10 seconds, then bootlogo again, then dark screen, then Ubuntu Touch boots.
Other times i get bootlogo, dark screen, UT boots.I resurrected my Nexus 5 to test this point. After updating to OTA-25 Stable, which went without a hitch, I performed three restarts and all of them worked just fine.

Yes restart works fine.
It's cold boot that has problem for me and @stanwoodEdit : ok i assumed restart works fine because i had not noticed problem here, but just tested and i got one bootloop and then a normal boot.

@stanwood hello, with the BQ M10FHD the same behavior. ( OTA-25 Stable ) Greetings

I just retested my BQ E5 HD which had been turned off since yesterday: so, BQ screen, then freezes on black screen. Force restart and this time it's ok.
...I strongly believe that an OTA-26 is needed!!

@domubpkm
Strange this issue did not come out during RC...Yes confirmed, when i've updated RC, there where no issues.
idk if any coincidence but there were issues on infrastructure during this time -

@lduboeuf Guess what, I just tried to boot the Cooler and now it's not only stuck in a bootloop, I can't even break the loop with power + volume- which means I can't even shut it down anymore. As a result, I can neither switch to developer mode to flash it with an older build nor can I select the bootloader from the menu because power + volume+ doesn't work.
@Flohack do you have any ideas how to get the tablet to shut down? Currently, I could only hope for the battery to give out. Unfortunately, I can't seem to register a bug, because my atlassian account has no access to ubport's issue tracker.
Maybe BQ devices should be announced as not supported by OTA-25 until the issue is fixed.

A new RC has roll out that should fix the boot issue. Also for device that have fingerprint, please check if no regression.
