Hi,

Recently I tried to format my Nexus 5 but I didn’t wait the 10 minutes. So, I reboot and I’m trying again; now it’s stuck on the “Formatting Data” screen.

Any help, please?

Thank you for this helpful item, and thanks google for leading me to it before I tried anything else due to impatience.

In reply to rafsi. I did the same. format everything, relock/unlock the bootloader, and then run the stock image restorer. everything will work but you'll lose your data
