Phone seems jacked, need help please.. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I cannot get past the bootanimation screen. This just happened this morning out of the blue. It's been rooted since Dec, and been running fine since. I can get to recovery, but it just reboots and hangs from there on it's own. I'm using AOKP MS2, and FrancoKernel, which probably doesn't matter, but I just need to get this at least back to stock. What do you guys suggest? I have done a battery pull, entered recovery through fastboot, but it just won't boot up.

Since you can access recovery, just restore a nandroid backup. That will get your phone up and running again.

If you have a nandroid then flash that, if not you will have to wipe cache, system,dalvik and data and flash the rom again.
That should solve your problems.
Maybe try just wiping cache, dalvik and system and leave data alone and flash the rom again. That way all your apps etc will still be there.
If you get bootloops after that then full wipe and flash.

Can aokp m4 be flashed via fastboot? Not sure this is possible , anyone ever fastboot a custom rom? Or push it with fastboot and then flash it in cwm?

[Q] Need a bit of help.

About a month ago I decided I wanted to try out Synergy ROM for my EVO, so I went for God Mode and everything has been running fine...until now. I had installed a kernel earlier this week for underclocking and such, but decided today that I didn't really use it as much as I though so I decided to reflash the HTC stock 4.24. I just did that about 10 minutes ago, I made a backup in case something went wrong and I backed up all my apps/texts as well. It flashed, rebooted...then it got stuck in a boot loop. So I pulled the battery and booted up into the bootloader to go into recovery...when I found every time I hit recovery it would just restart to the bootloader. So I'm not really sure if there is anyway to restore my backup or any other way to boot into recovery. Am I just screwed? Or can I use ADB to boot into recovery/restore my backup? This is sort of my first question post so...If you need any more information just ask.
Thanks,
Suprgamr232
If your phone is still going into bootloops. Connect your phone to your computer and go to adb and type in adb reboot recovery. There you can revert back into a nandroid backup. Hope this helps
Not to be rude, but you didn't read the entire post did you? I can't access my recovery and AFAIK adb doesn't work while it's in a bootloop. Also, I don't think adb recognizes my device when it's in the bootloader either.
Hey im just trying to help, Maybe some how you lost your recovery? Maybe try reflashing your recovery from the bootloader, make sure it named pc36img.zip. See if you can access your recovery after that. What recovery are you using btw, clockworkmod or amon ra? and did you wipe your cache and dalvik cache files through recovery before you flashed your kernel?
If you can access your recovery after reflashing it, Try wiping those in recovery and rebooting, see if it boots into your rom. If not and you still get a boot loop but you can access recovery do a full wipe and reflash your rom or try restoring a nandroid
Not gonna argue with you, so I'll let it slide...I'm using clockworkmod and I did wipe my cache and dalvik cache. ATM I haven't been able to get a hold of a new recovery img for some reason...can never get it to download 100%, will try it soon hopefully.
There's no need to argue Ive heard that clockworkmod doesnt always completely wipe the cache and dalvik maybe try using amon ra this time around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Cant hurt to try it. hope you can get it working for ya, gl
Still stuck in the bootloop. I tried restoring but that didn't help. I tried reinstalling the ROM and the kernel I used before and no change, I don't really want to wipe my phone and try it but...I guess it might turn out that way. Before I do though I was wondering if there is anything else I should try?

You're gona have to do a full wipe [ factory/data, cache, and dalvik ] , reflash your rom, kernel, ect. Once you sign in, boot, ect, you can use titanium backup to restore your apps and data, NOT system settings.
Alrighty then. Did that and everything seems to be working fine...A little disappointed but as long as I have my phone! Thanks for your help!

PROBLEM: can't get past boot animation with ANY rom

I flashed the latest Axiom and everything was fine. Did a reboot and it just sat on the boot animation for a while. Like, 15 minutes. So I did a battery pull and tried to boot again. No go. Pulled the battery and went into CWM, wiped data/cache/dalvik and formatted /system then re-flashed the ROM. Stuck again. Went BACK into CWM, wiped/formatted, and installed Liquid (which worked before). STILL can't get past the boot animation. Tried to restore a Nandroid and got an error.
I'm in a bit of a panic mode here because I have no idea what to do.
Relax bootloops aint a major problem really, i suggest you go to cwm and wipe all, or try and testore a backup, if all else fails just go back to stock using a toolkit, re root and flash a rom

Endless Boot Loop Gnex

I have been most recently running AOKP Milestone 6, and flashed to the JB build last night. I wiped, cleared cache, etc, and everything was fine; I went about restoring my apps and settings. My battery died shortly thereafter and now I'm stuck in an endless boot loop.
I tried restoring my backup, but still get the boot loop. I've even went as far as restoring my stock recovery of 4.0.3, but get "error restoring /data" when doing so.
How boned am I? I'd love to avoid going all the way back to factory settings and lose my data.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you try to just reflash the ROM itself that you were using? If that doesn't work just wipe everything again and reinstall. If you have app backups it's no biggie.

Did you flash a new bootloader or anything? Flashing the latest JB bootloader might help.
There's a thought that JB may run a file system check during the early boot phase in certain situations which is causing a lot of people to freak out because the phone stays at the Google splash screen for a long time. It's been reported that if you wait it out (can take up to tens of minutes) your phone should boot up normally.
I've myself have ran into this problem a few times but I've never tried waiting it out. What I've done is boot into CWM and use adb to pull the contents of my internal storage (/data/media) which includes my nandroid backups and then use "fastboot -w" to wipe the entire userdata partition. Afterwards I let the phone boot up to rebuild the userdata partition, copy my internal storage backup, and restore my nandroid backup.

I'm not stuck at the splash screen, it loops through the splash screen and the boot animation. Could you give me a little more detail on the process of pulling my data through adb?
Try this, wipe /system then reflash your old ROM again. Once that's flashed wipe davlik and cache and try a reboot. That should keep your data intact and just reload your old rom. Then you can renandroid and reflash.
Edit: just for safe measures makes sure you have any kernel software or tweaks disabled when you flash the new JB build. Of course if you are doing a clean install this won't matter. You just want to make sure things like overclocking or undervolting aren't crossong over to the new ROM, as say a 1.8 overclock might work on ICS kernel but not on a JB kernel. Hopefully that makes sense.

If all fails, use adb to pull all the important files, then use adb to push super wipe, and then flash it using your recovery. This will make sure that it wipes EVERYTHING. After that, just use adb to push Rom of your choice and then flash it.

1.) Boot into CWM
2.) Go to the "Mounts and Storage Menu" and "mount /data"
3.) Plug in your phone to the PC
4.) adb pull /data/media c:\gnex_sdcard_backup

[Q] boot loop on reboot

Hey guys,
Got a very weird problem here. I have previously flashed a CM10 nightly to my One X (international) and everything has been fine for around 3 weeks. Decided i wanted to try our the ViperX ROM. Previously upon flashing this ROM it just bootlooped but after another try with a slightly different method, i managed to get it to boot and all was merry. After titanium restore i rebooted, and this once again put me into a bootloop. Cannot get the ROM to boot. Why is this!!! Switched back to CM10. :good:
You need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You may have done
fastboot boot boot.img

Still doesnt boot man, im sure i flashed the boot image properly. This is the rundown of my flash process:
1: install from sd
2: in recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache
3: Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img
4: Reboot.
So it booted but into viper X, but after restoring with Titanium i was unable to get it to boot again.
I also tried "fastboot erase cache" to no avail
In fastboot type fastboot erase cache

Did you restore system apps or data?
Where does it stop booting, what is on the screen?
With tb, make sure you restore user apps only, none of the system apps.

Sorry forgot to mention I also used the "fast book erase cache" command.
As for titanium I restored all user apps and data and now that you mention it that could be the problem. I'll have another crack tomorrow and let you know.
Main reason I want to switch is I need much better battery life than CM10 but only temporarily. Can anyone recommend viperx as being a significant improvement?

It comes up with "HTC" vibrates then the viper crawls across the screen and it stops at the "htcONE" logo.
Restored apps and app data and guess what. Still doesn't boot. WHY! Going to just try apps, no data at ALL. Will report back.
I dunno why it won't start, double check you have the right boot.img (download it again and flash it again), in recovery erase cache and dalvik cache.
same issue
Hi i am also getting the same problem, i used the viper rom and others but it goes past the HTC logo looks as though it works but the lock ring is froze up and then it reboots itself over and over doing the same thing each time. Ive tried One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 and the manual CMD fastboot tutorial i dont know what to do to fix this, can anyone help me please?
EDIT* I seem to have it working now (fingers crossed), i used 'Nocturnal_Special_Edition_4.0_Odex' so thx to their good work that i now have a working rom for my phone phew
EDIT 20 MIN LAter* OK looks like i did something i shouldnt, it seemed to work, i made a change in the settings and then it rebooted and continued to reboot over and over so i tried installing a rom again and now it just stays at the htc quietly brilliant screen, what have i done this phone is now not so brilliant as its looking more and more that ive goosed it Any help apreciated.
boot.img
Help please
Hello,
I have 1x (CID 203) unlocked and rooted with cwm recovery. I had Cyanogenmod 10 nighly on it, well in hope of no bugs like in CM10 I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763240 to it. Well it seemed to work a moment but then the device started rebooting randomly. I couldn't boot to recovery (strange?), the recovery screen flashed less than a second and the phone started to boot normally again. After a few tries (and reflashing recovery) I luckily got into the recovery. Tried to restore a nandroid backup which I made earlier yesterday. CWM said that the restore was successful but the device didnt boot anymore. Only shows htc logo and cyanogenmod loading screen. But nothing happens. Well, then I flashed Android Revolution HD 10.3. (with wiping the system data and so on) but it wont load any longer than the htc one logo screen. Rom installed fine and I flashed the boot.img.
Now I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot and charge my phone but how could I safely and surely return my phone to stock or make the ARHD work without completely bricking it? I'm thinking that relocking my device is not very safe if the RUU fails to install. What do you think? Can the firmware updates cause this problem to happen? Can I flash ARHD 9.7.2 to my device? Too bad I can't ask these questions in the ARHD thread....
In bootloader my phone says
Code:
hboot-0.94.0000
radio 1.1204.104.14
Any advice is highly appreciated, I'm not ready to bury my phone yet
Edit. ARHD 9.7.2 flashed correctly. Any ideas why the ARHD 10.3 keeps bootlooping? Yes, I have flashed the correct boot.imgs.

If I restore apps only it does boot however any sort of data and it refuses to. Very annoying as I am not able to retain texts accounts etc. I have a feeling it's because I originally backed up on a jellybean ROM and the data just doesn't want to work on ics

Try the fast boot erase cache command and see if that solves the boot issue. If not make sure in recovery your have cleared cache partition performed a factory reset and also cleared the dalvik cache. Again if none of these work try re flashing the boot.img or perhaps try another rom that is known to be stable.

Stuck at Samsung logo?

Ok so I went back to stock after CM9, all went fine, phone rebooted and does the animation and sound but it won't go any further, I tried getting into the recovery screen but goes as far the little android guy and then reboots. Any ideas?
Reflashed Euro stock and again stuck at boot animation, I can't get into recovery to wipe or anything as it won't go past the little Android guy and reboots any ideas? On my SGS2 what I would of done at this stage is go into recovery and reset all, but can;t do this, gonna try flashing CWM to see if this helps, stock recovery seems fooked.
flash
Hi! You have to flash your phone stock ROM. And then again try to flash the MOD

Have you checked the zip file you downloaded is corrupt or not?
There is a difference 1mb will cause bootlop on your device.

Ok, recorrect.
I missread.
Have u got an SD card?
Just put a new stable ROM in it.
And befoure installing the new ROM wipe factory settings, cache, dalvik cache.
And make sure it is wiped, then install the new one.
Because it might save some setting from that ROM, and they might be corrupted, so it's recommended to wipe those befoure ROM installing, and after, when the ROM is installed already.
And if you can't get into recovery mode, then ur phone might be bricked.
No idea, how to solve that.
Haven't experienced that at all.

If you can go into Download Mode, you can try using Odin to fix things up. Otherwise, your phone is hard-bricked, and only SSC can help.
