my phone was just sitting there when it suddenly rebooted itself. the screen was off so i could not see what, if anything, prompted the reboot. is there some sort of log i can check?
the current ROM/kernel is below. and, no, this wasn't after any kind of flashing or ROM change - the phone was just sitting there when it decided to reboot itself

As the title says. Got alerted of the 2.2 update and attempted to download it. Half way through the download the phone resetting to the android boot screen and wont move. It keeps looping the boot screen and vibrating and wont go past it. You need to take out the battery for about 10 mins before it will boot again, only for it to do it again when you try to do something else.
Its not hacked or anything the phone is how it came out of the box. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have resetting the factory settings, formatted the memory card. Nothing seems to stop it. As soon as you go to update via system again it will reset to boot screen half way through and repeat the process over again.
Hi guys,
I've receive yesterday my new Google Galaxy Nexus.
Everything was fine, the phone was working all day. Because it's the first day of the phone, i've decided to let him go untill the battery is down.
But, at 8%, the phone just shutdown, and start to reboot automatically all the time. I've put it on charge, and it continue.
Here are the step :
1. It reboot
2. There is the animation with those color who is coming
3. Main screen // lock SIM
4. 5 seconds after the main screen, it reboot
Go to step 1 again.
It won't stop.
Could you help me here ?
Btw, i'm in France, with Orange.
Thks.
C.
Remove your Sim and try again.

Do a factory restore is the only thing I can think of; if you have pulled the battery already
Use the factory images here: http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Or you could try flashing boot again, so just get the packages images from the factory package extract the boot.img and boot it from fastboot
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
If that works then flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash boot.img
If that fails then just do a complete restore try use teh scrip in the package
I've Wipe the phone, and right now it's working (except that i have lost my configuration).
So, it's SOLVE.
Thx guys !
Try and remember what app you installed right before your phone went bonkers.
Don't install that app again.

Yeah, sure.
But today, again, my phone just start to reboot, over and over.
I'd to swipe and format AGAIN my phone, wich is sad, because everytime i do that, i lose all my user data.
It's strange because it didn't freeze just after i'd installed some app, but hour after. I just don't understand, and i really don't want that to happen again.
Did someone else got the same problem then I ? I didn't find another topic about that problem.
Thx a lot guys!
Céd.

I have basically the same problem, intermittently. The phone will just be sitting there and suddenly reboot. I will enter the SIM PIN and then it will continue, and then shortly afterwards reboot again. The only way I can stop the Insane Reboot Loop (IRL) is to pull the battery. Then, when it reboots, it stays booted - until the next IRL starts (I've only seen two so far - but then again I've only had the phone for a couple of days).
Again, hello all,
it's me and my [big] problem with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I have my phone since more than one week right now. Every two days, my phone will restart, booting over and over, freezing each time at the reboot animation.
The only way to make it stop to reboot is to format/wipe the data and restore the factory configuration. Which is very very annoying, i'm loosing all my personal data.
It really drive me crazy. I don't know what to do.
My phone is not rooted, it's just a simple SGN with some apps.
Can you help me here please ?
Hey, I tried to search for this, I looked in every sub forum for the Hercules, but I was unable to find anything...
More often than not, if my phone ever dies, or I turn it off (i.e. flashing something, or just trying to clear out the memory), it gets stuck rebooting... It will go through the boot animation and get to the main screen, and as its going through, on the notification bar it will say "Preparing USB Storage" and there is where it gets frozen and will shut itself off, and in order for me to do anything with it after that, I have to do a battery pull. It was happening when I was on any custom rom and so I tried going back to stock rom, and it is still happening... Is it by chance a setting I am messing with that is causing it? Because when I switch roms, it will seem to fix it for about 1 week... And then it happens again, I have since tried to never turn my phone off, but if I forget to charge it and it dies naturally, that is when I have the BIGGEST problem and it takes FOREVER to try to get it to boot up... Any ideas? Or should I just take it to T-Mobile when it is doing it and have it swapped?
I run a rooted SG S3 on stock 4.1.1 with an old 3.0.56 kt747 kernel
Until recently, I've been running this set up for years without any problems.
I've also updated fairly recent CWM along with the latest SU.
As the title states, my phone has been turning off automatically. After weeks of troubleshooting, I noticed a pattern.
When I press the power button, there are three different scenarios that happen.
The phone goes to sleep normally
The phone goes to sleep and immediately wakes up to the lock screen
The phone displays the shut off menu
If scenario 1 occurs, everything is fine and runs perfectly for an indefinite amount of time until i attempt to put the phone to sleep again.
but, if scenario 2 or 3 occurs, the phone automatically shuts down abruptly, within 1-5 seconds.
This problem still occurs even when I boot into safe mode, and I have eliminated the SD card as a suspect. Furthermore, booting the phone up has become extremely difficult. The boot would sometimes crash after the samsung logo, after the splash screen, or during the boot animation. It takes somewhere around 3-5 tries to fully boot up the phone.
Booting into CWM recovery is still possible, but even that sometimes crashes mid-way. I've also noticed that at certain times, when I click the power button to select an action in CWM, it actually double clicks (thankfully CWM is tolerant to that) and cancels the action I was trying to do. I've done some googling and found that an over sensitive power button is a common occurrence in this model, and while that may explain why the 3 different power button scenarios occur, it still doesn't explain the crash.
Finally, I seemed to have remedied the automatic shut off problem several times by wiping cache from CWM. When I first started having these problems and began troubleshooting, wiping the cache eliminated the problem for about a week before the problem came back. When it did, I uninstalled some apps and re-wiped the cache which eliminated the problem again for several days. However, these periods become shorter and shorter, and now wiping cache does not seem to help at all. I've also tried wiping the delvik cache, but it didn't help.
I'm stumped right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I try some more large-scale attempts such as resetting my phone or taking it apart. Thanks everyone!
This definitely fits more in your large-scale attempts category, but it is what I'd try.
I'd grab the stock 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com and Odin back to stock. You're fortunate to be on the old firmware, so you can Odin back to stock. When Odin completes successfully, pull battery don't let the phone reboot normally (untick auto reboot in Odin). Boot straight into the stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then reboot your phone normally.
Doing this will correct any problems that exist with your internal storage to the extent possible. If you've still got problems after doing this, it is probably a hardware issue.

Yeah, that's part of the reason why i didn't want to upgrade the bootloader for the newer firmwares. I messed around with my phone this morning and its been avoiding the problem ever since. Not exactly sure what I did though lol. Thanks for the reply, I'll try it if the problem comes back over the next few days.
Your phone isn't "crashing," your power button is malfunctioning. The fix is pretty easy. You will need to open your phone up and scrape it off (the phone can be turned on without it). There are youtube videos that show how to remove it.
So i was using Darthstalker v3 and arter97 kernel 9.3 with no issues.
Suddenly one day, i noticed screen flicker when waking the device, followed by hesitation. So my first step was to wipe the dalvik/cache. That apparently did not help.
I then lost my bootup logos, as well as shut down, along with the screen pretty much refusing to come on.
I used smart switch to emergency recover the stock firmware. Nothing. Then i Odined a stock untouched rom. No change. Once i actually got the phone to render the screen in recovery, so i wiped everything three times, and and flashed darthstalker v6. I also rooted the phone again just before that. I
So when the phone is powered off, the battery icon is present, and the screen wakes to that no problem. Since i set the device to never timeout while charging,
when i plug it in, the screen comes on, but as soon as i try to touch it, poof, the rendering of the screen goes. But, while this occurs, i can hear the icons being pressed,
etc. Completely stumped as to what to do. Can someone help?
[SOLVED]
strangely enough, I found a solution in a most peculiar way.
I managed to finally get into the phone by charging to 100 percent. Then, I downloaded flashify, and attempted to flash tekxodus rom, as well as selecting dalvik and cache wipe.
The flash did not work. the phone just rebooted. Then, I downloaded rom manager premium, and then rom manager attempted its prerequisite attempt to detect my recovery. (up until that point, I had twrp installed).
The detection lingered, so I pressed the back key and selected reboot into recovery. Surprisingly enough, I was back in Stock recovery.
So apparently the solution to the anomaly I encountered in the OP, is to either follow the simple steps above, or, to flash stock recovery in Odin. If that is at all possible for the user. I can confirm the above worked for me as I tried everything for the last week and this was the only method that worked.
The shutdown/startup logos are back, with no screen flicker or hesitation on sleep/wake.

yeah i just suddenly started having this problem. my phone would reboot itself and then it would be updating apps as if i just flashed xposed or something, my phone would have issues with wifi, flickering lockscreen, and if you rub the screen while its off which wouldl show you information stream doesnt work either. Decided to dump the rom. Am going with the TEKXodus N5 with arter kernel

It's just like I told you. When I read that you had experienced the same precursors that I came across with the rom, I had a hunch you would be soon after posting the exact issues that I eventually ran into.
So when you download Tekxodus and flash, please keep me informed as to if it resolves the issue. As you are aware, stock firmware has not resolved the problem for me, but then again devices vary.
So enjoy the fix if you ever run into the above issue.
Im fine with stock, but I miss the fun of trying new roms.
