Nexus 5 became a paperweight overnight (help!)

Hello xda, I have a problem!

My Nexus 5 is only six months old and aside from typical Nexus 5 shenanigans (the camera seizing upon lock, requiring a reset) it has worked fine. (though I have been very discontent with this device) Last night I was using my Nexus 5 as usual and I was tired, but too lazy to plug it into the charge port. By morning my phone died as expected, so I plug the charger in and lo-and-behold, it's stuck in boot up.

So naturally I freak the f*** out; I wait. To no avail.

I wait some more. Nix.

It's still f***ing booting.

So I know something's wrong with my phone and I said "f*** it; I'm just going to factory reset it" because knowing my luck, my phone decided to say "f*** you" and kill itself the night prior. (My affinity with technology is poor.)

So I wipe the damn thing.

I boot it up.

Loop. You've got to be kidding me.

I wipe the cache (don't tell me I should have done this first); nada.

I get flustered, chuck the black pice of s*** down the stairs, get desperate, pick it back up, take it to work with me (while it was still booting), I left for work at 12:00PM, it's now 7:04PM, I'm home and it's STILL BOOTING.

So what's a girl to do?

And I'm going to answer the fusillade of questions I know I'm going to get in response to my peril, so before you all premeditate; here's what I've done to my phone:

I rooted it THREE WEEKS AGO with KingRoot to turn off my proximity sensor. Why? Because I Skype and like to use my device at the same time, and Microsoft thought it would be brilliant to have the screen shut off any time something crosses slightly in front of the Nexus 's two stupid sensors, so horizontal use of the device gets thrown out of the window. (if any muppets at Microsoft are reading this, you're f***ing idiots! If I really wanted to turn my screen off to conserve battery power, I would lock the f***ing screen! I don't need YOU nannying me!)

I wasn't able to shut off the proximity sensor with root permissions so I got cheesed and unrooted, then uninstalled the application.

Things have been working perfectly fine. (And yes, my phone has been rebooted in that three week span.)



Up until last night, my phone was working perfectly normal. I did what I usually did.

Listened to music, checked my work schedule, text, watched YouTube videos, played Gameboy games on an emulator, and that's it.

Someone please help me with this phone so I can at least fix it and sell the wretched thing to some muppet for some money to put towards a REAL phone.

Thanks.

And it finally died, just as I finished writing this.
