I went to unlock the bootloader and everything went smooth until it kept boot looping and i pulled the battery. It was to late when I read that im not suppose to do a battery pull. I have the factory image but i dont know how to flash it. I tried pluggin in the Gnex and typing adb devices but nothing comes up its not being recognized anymore while in the bootloader. all it does now is turn on and boot loop in the Google screen. If anyone can help me unbrick it i would greatly appreciate it since i just got the phone yesterday. Thank you

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm running a non-rooted, GSM, stock 4.0.1 Galaxy nexus. My phone restarted on its own and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop. I did several battery pulls to turn the phone off. Turning it on again, it gets stuck in the boot loop never reaching the homescreen.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Well you could grab an Odin flash file and reset your phone from download mode. When powering on the fone hold volume down and power.
Also could hold both volume buttons and power when turning on to go into fast boot mode where you could try flashing a stock image through fastboot from your pc

How do I even get the files on the phone?

Get into a bootloader and factory reset your phone.
It was happening to my gn everytime I put it in my pocket. Why I don't know. I put my gn in perfectly working condition in my pocket and when I pulled it out wanting to, say, take a picture, it was looping.
Been to the store, called tech supp... nobody knows why.
That all stopped after I unlocked, rooted and flashed a custom rom. Not one crash ever since (10 days)
Thanks man. I just brought it back to the store and they replaced it.
anybody knows how to back up my pictures/movies. I got also the boot loop issue and I first want to secure my files before resetting... My GN is not rooted or modded whatsoever.

I', afraid it's not possible without root and CWM.
Hello all , I have spent hours searching for something relevent but have had no luck. My tablet will not boot even the slightest bit, the blue light turns on but nothing else boots with it , before that happened I was using the flexreaper rom and it suddenly crashed, tried rebooting and it was stuck at the acer logo. After that tried going into recovery but it wouldnt load either so i tried repushing recovery from adb ever since nothing at all happens. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
my situation was, i was running a custom rom, when i tried to flash a new kernel. disaster as i done it wrong and ended up stuck at the splash screen. not a problem as i thought i'll enter into recovery screen. disaster again. the phone powered down then rebooted and got stuck at splash screen. not a problem as i'll just use adb. device was recognised as device serial came up but disaster yet again. it wouldn't reboot into bootloader. i tried to power the phone off so i could save the battery and look for an answer and yup you guessed right again. another disaster. it would just power off and switch on again to the bloody splash screen. if your still reading this, my fix is coming up.
what worked for me was............disconnect the damn USB lead, then i entered the bootloader and got into my recovery.
yup it really was as simple as that.
yes i did feel like a complete noob
yes i did have a nandroid back-up.
yes it did recover without any problem.
yes i did spend ages on it getting frustrated.
yes i learned my lesson.
i hope this helps as i spent about 90 mins reading all the other guides but they all used adb/ recovery.
so just remember, try disconnecting the usb lead before trying to enter into bootloader/recovery
Hi,
I have a really tough problem with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. After I boot it up it shows the Google logo and then the screen goes black. It is still on because I have left it there hoping it would pass this screen but the battery died eventually. If I put the phone into a computer I get the charging screen and it will charge. I can get into fastboot mode. I have tried unlocking the device so I could flash a new ROM but as soon as I use the Gnex toolkit to unlock it, the fastboot mode reboots and it is locked again. When the device is plugged into the computer in fastboot mode Windows is constantly giving the noise that something is plugged in than unplugged then plugged in, on and on and on. I have put it in Odin mode and flashing the 4.04 image ROM looked like it worked but still after the phone reboots it just shows the Google Logo and then goes black. I have gotten into the stock recovery and wiped data and cache and that did not help either. Any help would be appreciated!
Nick

I followed that and afterwards my screen still comes up black after the Google logo.
I just tried to install TWRP recovery to see if that would help. I went through all of the fastboot commands and they said they completed successfully. When the phone rebooted the stock android recovery was still on the device... so for some reason this phone is taking the commands and they are getting returned as successful but they are not successful... super strange.
Sorry I can't help you but I've read several reports (forum posts) about Galaxy Nexus devices becoming "read only". I think the eMMC got bricked and can't be fixed.

Correct, seems highly likely his eMMC deep fried. If unlocking bootloader doesn't even work, I would try nothing else and get its mainboard replaced.
Thanks. Now that I know, I can stop wasting my time trying to fix this.
Hey all,
So like about a year ago I installed twrp and rooted my one m8s and couldn't care less to update anything but everything was working fine.
Recently I bought a new phone so today I thought lets wipe the device and factory reset it. Well thats where it went wrong.
After the reset it tried to boot but was just stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo.
I then held the power + vol up, which triggered something and showed an other logo for a second then just going dark, but the device is still on and backlit.
I cant get out of this for some reason neither will the device turn off. When i connect it to my pc it gets recognized but I cant get into storage.
Also adb and fastboot won't see the device and the htc_fastboot.exe I got from here throws an adbwinapi.dll missing error.
I am really stuck on what to do and i was hoping maybe someone could help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bart
EDIT: got the phone to turn off when the battery died and was able to boot into fastboot from there, lets see where this gets me.
EDIT #2: Welp I fixed it I suppose. If someone please could remove this thread since I can't
