Google Nexus 5 — my nexus 5 stuck on erasing while factory resetting

Aww.... I think if your device is under warranty better to take it to the nearest support for fixing. Otherwise I am afraid but you may need to flash firmware over to your device let me know if your out of warranty I will guide you through the flashing process.

It can take a while, but the longest I've heard is 90 minutes. You can just start again as they can sometimes freeze during this process, the official instructions are:

If your phone is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons, and then press and hold the Power button at the same time until the phone turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode".
Press the Power button to start Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command".
While holding the Power button, press the Volume Up button.
Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
Note: If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

When i get to the step that i should press the power button to start recovery mode i don't see the android robot with a red exclamation mark,i see it saying "erasing..."

Hi,

How did you solve the issue . Am facing the same issue now.

Thanks

theres just one problem, i cant get the phone to turn off, it just keeps showing me the animation of the android guy

Hi,

Maybe you'd better to visit an Apple store to repair your iPhone. Before this, you can try an ios repair tool like TunesKit to fix iPhone at home. It can freely enter recovery mode with one click.

My iPhone once run into similar issues. I tried to force restart iPhone, and use iTunes to restore iPhone. But all no use. Finally, I used TunesKit iOS System Recovery to fix the issue. Maybe you can also seek similar tool for Android.

Please can you walk me thru this process
