I unlocked and rooted my phone the day I got it on launch day and haven't had any problems until now. My phone randomly turned off and is now stuck in a bootloop. I never installed a custom rom or anything and only rooted to install some root only apps. It just gets to the first screen with Google and the unlocked lock at the bottom and then the google and the lock kind of flicker and move side to side and change colors and then it starts over again.
I'm currently lost, kind of freaking out, and have no idea how to fix this. Any help? Thanks!
Go into fast boot mode and flash stock images.

Tried that, but the phone won't turn on at all. Completely dead. Going to Verizon later today, hopefully for it to be replaced. I don't really understand how this happened...if I was messing around with ROMs I would assume it was my fault, but I haven't been.

I got my Galaxy Nexus 3-4 days back and have been using it pretty nicely. Suddenly today while activating bluetooth via an application called 'Notification Toggle', my phone crashed and the boot animations begun to come up.
The animation were taking a lot of time so I pulled the battery out, re-inserted it but was still stuck at the boot animation.
Then I charged my phone for about 45 minutes - 1 hour, tried booting up again but still stuck at that animation.
I am from India and the Galaxy Nexus is not launched here officially so it's not even under warranty.
Please help me, what can I do? I'm really worried and don't have much knowledge about Android (as this is my first Android phone).
My phone is running Android 4.0.4 ICS and is GSM unlocked.
I request any of you to please post a detailed solution so that I can get my phone up and running. I'm fine if there is any sort of data loss but I'll prefer to have my data restored.
Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't say that I've been experiencing the same problem as you described. Meanwhile, before Droid I was using IPhone 3G. And I can say that several times both of phones were completely stuck for lot's of hours or even a day/night without any reasons. But then, they become alive again without any sign of what has happened. I'm not experienced technically, but I think that each system has it's own recovery settings which continue to work even when system is off. Or when the system couldn't repair itself it's just restarting after sometime. If you bought your Nexus officially, and it's not have been used and "raped", then I think it should be back soon.

Is it unlocked or rooted? if so I would recomend using fastboot to restore it to complete stock condition. If not..... I have no clue
Are you rooted or have a custom recovery? If so, just wipe data and reflash your current ROM.
If your phone is bone stock, you will more than likely have to download the device's stock fast boot images and flash them.
I'm not sure how this will affect your unlocked radio. Maybe someone else can help you from here.

So last night I turn off my phone and don't plug the charger in I awake in the a..m. send turn on my phone and it's stuck on the samsung screen after the sprint animation. I pull the battery for a few secs put it back in power up and the same thing. I just went into recovery and flashed back. No problems booting up, that was weird though I did let the phone sit atleast a minute both times. That was the first time I turned the phone off since I got it two weeks ago....One other thing. I noticed yesterday when I got to work at 9a.m. I seen the time on my clock said 4: 27 a.m. and I had to restart my phone to fix it

Could use some help here. I got an i747 last night, rooted just fine, used triangle away no problem. When attempting to resolve a status 7 error I could not get anything to flash in CWM and now it is sitting on the Samsung logo. I can get it to download mode but that's about it. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated.

What did you try to flash? The more detail you give, the easier it'll be to find out.

Mine is an AT&T locked i747 phone which I unlocked in India, but haven't rooted.
I had the same problem as above; I charged it all night as usual, but in the morning it was frozen on the logo splash screen. Tried restarting a few times, but it would again freeze on the same screen. So I removed the battery and let it rest a bit, but the same thing continued. Eventually during the course of the day, it stopped booting and now nothing happens when I restart it, it just wont boot.
When I insert another S3 battery, the flash "flashes" for a second and disappears, but the phone still doesnt turn on. Any idea what could be wrong? Battery is probably not the problem, since a working battery from another phone is not helping.
Any help will be much appreciated

That's really weird. Unfortunately, I don't know much about how to fix it unless it was a custom ROM, sorry that I can't help . I beleive it was in General there was a "No question too noobish" or something of that nature. I had several issues before and OP has pulled through for me, so maybe it's worth a shot. Sorry again

i apologize if this has been solved but i am on a very tight time frame as i need this phone for work and cant spend any longer searching. my phone randomly turned off by itself this morning and will not turn back on. it gets to the samsung splash screen and the screen just goes black and the phone wont do anything, its like the screen is stuck off, i have to take the battery out to make it turn do anything at all again. it was stock this morning, never been rooted or anything, i just rooted it about an hour ago and installed twrp and flashed jedi invasion 5 on it in hopes it would help. now it gets past the splash screen and to the initial setup screen but it only stays on it for about 3 seconds before the screen goes black again and i have to take the battery out for it to do anything again. im not an expert by any means but i have flashed note 2's and played with them a bit and know my way arround them for the most part. any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
almost forgot to mention, in download mode it says qualcomm secureboot: enable
not sure if that means anything but i didnt get any errors while flashing or anything

I would make sure you have to correct drivers installed for the phone on your computer and ODIN back to stock. You can give that a try and see if it helps.
I'll check that out when I get home but I'm pretty sure everything is right, it was doing it before I even flashed anything so I think something else is the problem

Faulty battery or power button. You can try ODIN back to stock, not likely it will help.
It's not a battery or power button problem. Before I rooted it if I took the battery out and turned it on again it would turn on fine if I kept the screen from turning off. and the battery was staying charged, and if it wer a power button problem why would it work to turn the phone on but not again after its on?

My vote is a faulty power button. Has been known to happen on the S3. Could be power issues though. Bad battery could be the culprit. If flashing stock does not work see if you can get a battery to test out.

ok so i flashed stock and it fixed it temporarily. after i flashed it it was working great so i decided to root it and flash jedi. so i did this and it still worked great. (at this point i should mention that the sim card in the phone has been deactivated this whole time) so since its working i activate the simcard, restart the phone, and the problem started again. so i took the sim card right out and turned it back on and it works perfectly fine without the sim card in... what do you guys figure? should i try a new sim card? has anyone ever herd of this happening before?
EDIT: tried my other sim card in it and it doesn't work either, so it snot the simcard itself
Bump

Hey, everyone. I know this issue has been reported before, but NONE of the solutions are working for me. Perhaps I just have a bad Nexus.
I received the device for Christmas and it has worked perfectly fine. Super fast, fluid, responsive. Then, suddenly, I was using the device and it randomly rebooted. I thought, "whatever, this happens to all devices at one point or another". But then, after I turned it on, it got stuck on the Google startup screen for at least 5 minutes. I decided to restart and try again, but this time, it got stuck on the google screen, rebooted on its own and got stuck on the google screen again, repeating this cycle over and over.
So I went into Recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset. Not even this would work. The factory reset worked, but when I started up my tablet again, it froze at the Google screen. Eventually, it would just continue the cycle of freezing and rebooting. This is ridiculous. A brand-new, unrooted Nexus 7 on 4.4.2 should not be completely unusable. My warranty is up on the 18th, so I will probably just return it, unless someone has an idea.
Thanks.

That'a your best option. If you haven't modified it in any way then use your warranty.
I agree. Since you did not root it, there is probably something wrong with your tablet and you should get it exchanged while you can

I am going through the EXACT same thing and no one has been able to help.. What I did to fix it was re-flash the 03.15 bootloader and that allowed it to start. I think there's some tablets out there that "don't like" the new bootloader included with the KitKat update and I'm glad to see that it's not just me... At least you are able to return yours. I purchased mine back in August last year
