I have a nexus 5. After an update,stays only in bootloop and i can't acces bootloader or recovery mode. When i press the combination of the keys,it's only restarting at google logo,so i can't flash another image. What can i do?
Is this a good question?

If you can't access bootloader by holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN and POWER, you may have a broken button. If you're still dealing with this, you might consider following the teardown guide and see if a button is stuck or blocked by some dirt.
Sometimes when a Nexus is stuck in bootloop, I'll hold the POWER button down until the screen goes blank again, and without releasing the POWER button, hold VOL DOWN.[1] That may get you into bootloader.
[1] Google's information for the Nexus 5 states that bootloader is reached with both VOL UP and VOL DOWN along with power, but my refurbished unit works with only VOL DOWN and POWER.
