I have a stock GN, not rooted yet. Today my phone automatically shut off and now it starts back up, google logo shows up and all those colors come on for couple of seconds and then the phone reboots itself.
I can press both volume up+volume down + power button and get into a menu which gives me the options of Start, Restart bootloader, recovery mode, and power off. I choose recovery mode but then it goes on to an android sign with exclamation mark. After that I can't seem to get anywhere. I have tried volume up +power, volume down+power, and volume up+down+power but nothing seems to work. It just keeps on rebooting it self.
Any solutions to this problem??
There are two possibilities:
1) Software problem. Since you were stock, this is unlikely.
2) Hardware problem. This is more likely, in my opinion.
If you want to eliminate 1) as a possibility, you can try this:
1. Download the GNex Toolkit here
2. Install it & get the drivers working on your computer (if you haven't already)
3. Unlock the bootloader by selecting Option 3 (it'll wipe your phone)
4. Flash factory stock rom by selecting option 8
5. Try it. If it works, congratulations. (if you want to re-lock your bootloader, use option 11)
If this doesn't work, relock your bootloader and send it in for warrantee. (most likely a hardware problem)

So, I did the above method and after flashing the factory stock rom it won't start up anymore. It doesn't respond to anything at all. It seems I've bricked it
Is there any way to unrbick it now? I'm assuming I can't send it in for warranty either now if it's semi bricked. Unless it's been completely bricked which means there is still a chance of getting a replacement phone.
I have the same prob on rooted SGN
This morning I switched off the airplane mode to be available, system crashed and restarted. And then still the same again - booting / android logo / restart again.. /./. I am using Android Revolution HD 2.1.5, for last month with no problems.
I tried to boot into recovery, then wipe the cache and reflash rom and radio from sd, it is still the same. I can see all the files on my int. sd with no probs.
Please help.
I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue, but I'll wait for another member's opinion before confirming.
Solved!!!
That's what I thought - HW prob, but it seems that luck is on my side, I hope. It helped to get back on stock but with total deletion including int partition
Anyway thanks for support.

Was your phone rooted or bootloader unlocked before the problem occurred?
Anyways I've sent in my phone for warranty, hopefully samsung will fix it.
So my phone company called me today and apparently Samsung told them that it's corrosion(?) problem. When I asked exactly what does that mean they said it's moisture damage or physical damage that probably caused it. But I'm confused how could my phone possibly get moisture damage inside an otter box. I know how delegate these devices are and I know how to take care of them.
Anyhow it'll be $90 to fix it. I had no other option so I asked them to go ahead with the repairs. So frustrated with Samsung to be honest. I never dropped my phone once, never had any water damage, phone was always inside the defender case. And I still have to pay them for fixing my phone even though it's not my fault.
That's quite worrying, I just started having boot loop problems today. I've had the phone since Feb 29th and not had a problem with it yet, but today it started boot looping. I went into recovery and did a factory reset, was alright for a couple of hours then it crashed, started bootlooping again. Running stock 4.0.2 unrooted, I'm wondering if flashing 4.0.4 might help.
I'm in the same boat.... unrooting stock 4.0.1 firmware - canadian version from Negri.
April 23rd my phone crashed and started boot looping. Google logo - reboot - Google logo - reboot
Factory reset worked. I installed less apps than I had before figuring perhaps an app was corrupting something.
Yesterday - it happened again. Phone crashed. Boot loop. Factory Reset worked. Installed even fewer apps.
We'll see what happens this time around. I am hoping it is just a software thing. Hoping 4.0.4 gets pushed soon too.....
I've been having the same issue, plus sometimes my home screen it would lock up and wouldn't let me do anything, so I did a battery pull and it would boot loop for a half hour.
After the 3rd time I just took it to my Verizon wireless store, and showed them the situation and they couldn't figure it out, so their sending me a replacement, which I'm not looking forward too, don't want a semi-used phone....
Via Galaxy Nexus [LTE]
Rebooting Issue Solved.
I was also a troubled Samsung Galaxy Nexus user and my phone kept restarting more than half a dozen times everyday. Most of the times when I switched between two or more applications, or when it was simply idle on my desk.
However, I found a solution (at least in my case). All I did was root my phone, install cwm recovery, and flash a custom rom after wiping cache and factory resetting the phone, It's been about 5 to 6 hours now since I flashed the custom rom and I haven't had a single reboot or hang since.
Others who face this problem, please give it a shot, who knows? You might save your Galaxy Nexus instead of sending it back to get a replacement or spend some money on it for repairs which aren't even required in the first place.
I also had this problem unrooted. I had to give it to Samsung for the warranty
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I got my nexus yesterday, almost immediately after first start it start to install JB from OTA.
I did buy 2000mAh samsung original battery and started straight with it. not even testing with 1750mAh bat.
after installing JB and needed softwares, it started to randomly reboot.
it rebooted even it was just in my pocket.
sometimes when I did do something, display freezed and after about 5sec it rebooted.
Now I did changed to original 1750mAh, and it havent boot at all couple hours, even I did play angrybirds space.
I wont dare to root it before I am very sure problem is with 2000mah battery.

I could be wrong, but have you tried to clean the pin on the battery? Seems like battery and the phone isn't contracting too well
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Little update, phone did continue rebooting with original 1750mAh battery also.
I did also reset with recovery mode, and after that it did also reboot one time.
like it uses all memory/cpu and when nothing to do reboot (like windows )
I also did flash stock rom with toolkit but no help.
I will test rooting phone and flash another rom, or is it useless ?
after using couple days, not yet rooted.
Phone works and wont reboot even in heavy stress. but sometimes it just reboots by own not a single program in task list.
might reboot right after previous reboot or take hours to reboot.
stupid phone
I have been done some research.
I did one more time reflash google stock with rootkit, and forgot lock phone, it was almost 3 hours by own in wifi, no reboots at all.
when I noticed that I forgot to lock it I rooted whole phone and installed paranoid android 2.13 with CWM.
Now Ive been using 2 hours without any reboot, installing software, setting things up and using apps.
I dont understand at all:silly:
edit: noup, yesterday evening one almost reboot, paranoid android did reset itself but didnt even reset uptime. so I didnt count that normal reboot.
but after wake up this morning, it did reboot once when I put in my pocket, another just lying on table, once activating bluetooth in my car.
going to send it back to seller.
I have a similar issue, although not quite the same. Last night my phone started boot looping - it managed to boot up to the lock screen, and I can use it for about a minute before it dies and then reboots. This continues again and again (I have to pull the battery to quit it).
I have stock JB on my GSM GN, but rooted with an unlocked bootloader / CWM. I restored my old CWM backup, and had the same issue. I also wiped the cache and the dalvik just to see if that helped, but I had the same issue. I then tried to do a factory reset in CWM, but after I did that the boot loop just got to the nexus logo and died, entering a new (slightly shorter) boot loop. I went back into recovery and reflashed my CWM backup, and that at least got me back to booting into android.
I can't understand what's going on - could it be a hardware issue if it will happily stay alive in recovery, but dies after 1-2mins of android?
Thanks for your help. If it is hardware then I hope I can reflash the stock recovery / bootloader and unroot through recovery... the phone doesn't stay on long enough to do it when it's booted into full android!

This is a list of events that I have gone through today. I received a new charger because the old one I had became defective & was charging my phone up & then it would go back down to 0% & then shut off & it would end up in a problem where the phone would not turn on unless I pulled out the battery while the AC was in & then it was able to charge but still it would turn on, on its own to drain the battery when off & this was very frustrating. The charger I have now works but the device acts strange over the last few months doing a task29 & flashing the first ROM after would make that ROM not work & then I had to flash a totally different ROM to make it work. I was using Android & it had died a few times & also I experienced the same thing I did when it would charge up & go back down to 0%. please read below:
I got my new charger today & at 62% of charge I decided to flash to a custom ROM via mem card again well the ROM was a success but when pulling battery out to restart it didnt want to work. So I went to flash again in bootloader by memory card it shut off on me in the middle & restarted into bootloader again & shut off again right away. I did a task29 it worked got it out of bootloader & now the orange led flashes off & on when its off & now ive gotten that to stop. What exactly is wrong with this device?
it was @ 73% and finally setup a ROM NRGY however it ended up shutting off on its self & going into a power boot loop constantly restarting until that ROM can no longer start & now its stuck on the boot screen w/ its info.
I flashed the stock SPL on USB now im going to try to flash the carriers ROM back.
Stock SPL = Successful!
2nd Touch Pro 2 ROM Version Flash = Successful!
Its working for now. Battery is @ 80%
AHH! After charging to 100% idk what it did but when I went into the other room to check out its all possessed.
I have a black screen w/ white text that says:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.
Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
IDK how this happened.
When I hit any key it didnt do anything it was stuck until I did a battery pull. Then I restarted the device it was stuck at the boot screen w/ its red info. It erased the entire ROM. Then I tried to do recover mode & it did nothing. I tried to flash the stock ROM again & no results & then again & still no results. I think its now not accepting the ROM at all since from: in the ROM update utility is blank.
Now it decides to get past the boot screen but then it malfunctions again & restarts itself & it tries to setup a 2nd time then after it does & its on sense home for a couple of mins it reboots twice & now its stuck on the boot screen again.
Things that I can think of.
- Isn't your batterie just broken? You will break your batteries when you deplete them completely. Maybe try a new batterie, because you said that you let it die for a few times. It could be that this is causing your problems.
- Did you flash true usb when you were in the bootloader? Give that a try, because I believe that the customruu performs some sort of checks. Maybe this is nonsens, but you can try it.
The battery was fully charged & it was working better than before.
I reflashed the Stock SPL to flash the carriers ROM back & that worked but at anytime it just rebooted for whatever reason to make it so the ROM was unusable at any time I would reboot it would decide to actually go past it seldom. I experienced that at one point oddly it went into setup n it did it again after a while its just acting strange.
If you're back to stock SPL and stock ROM, can't you just send it back for a warranty replacement ?
IDK how old it is. I bought it brand new from ebay.

No warranty bro...
You can try but no warranty 9/10 times.
What ROM are you using? I used to have that issue with my betas.
It wld destroy itself after softreset and I would have to reflash.
Try to flash, turn off right after it boots, turn on and see how that works for ya.
Rep had told me I could get it replaced & they know I bought from ebay. But I havent called them on this yet.
It doesnt work. It usually doesnt go past the boot screen. Flashing does nothing to help it. Whenever it feels like it it may have to stay on for a few mins to go into setup but most of the time it will stay there & reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot each time its a different # of times & it will reset itself at anytime. Ive even had bootloader shut off on me & restart itself during flashing its a pain. I had another issue I didnt mention my device on any custom ROM when I had 0.85 olinex SPL the device would just freeze & not respond every time. Now this is a different situation. I am back of SPL 0.87 which is the default. I flashed the entire carrier ROM which 0.79 was rewritten w/ 0.87 & that was successful but its still rebooting & causing fatal problems including the black screen w/ white text.
UPDATE: I just walked into the kitchen. Somehow the device turned on by itself & now its sitting on the sense home screen. I know its not fixed but idk why it would turn itself on.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing task 29 1st... Might be because when you flash remnants of the older OS are still there causing trouble. Remember though, you need to have Hard SPLed it 1st....
I got so frustrated I just got done calling T-Mobile Tech Support & they are going to ship me a replacement.

I thought I would reply to you.
This is what started my problems is when I did a task 29 my device was acting funny afterwards. I did it again about a month later cuz I flashed way too much & it kept getting worse. But Task29 didnt help this time its what caused me to have to flash 2 different ROMs cuz the first one I flash after doesnt work.
I received the battery & it didnt do anything.
I'm still waiting on the replacement to come.
Stock galaxy nexus, ui force closed. Powered off. Can get into recovery mode to attempt to reinstall stock rom. It shows a droid with an opened chest, with a red triangle above it when I try to go to recovery mode from the odin screen.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to flash using a mac? I have limited access to a pc.
Thanks all.

The android icon you're referring to sounds like the stock recovery. In order to flash a ROM (even stock) from recovery mode, you'll need to load a custom recovery. This requires the device to be unlocked.
Not very often a stock setup needs to be restored. Generally, with the stock setup, only the /data partition is wiped (revert to factory default) and the issues are cleared. Not sure why a stock setup would need to be restore.
If you're still going to pursue reloading the system, without access to the normal android mode, the best route will be using fastboot. This can be done on a mac and the fastboot commands should be the same.
Hope that helps get a start!
This happened me earlier. I was able to factory reset it, which, unfortunately really annoyed me because I hadn't saved a backup..
Before the "Google" logo shows up, press and hold the power button and the volume up and down buttons.
Then go into recovery mode using the volume buttons.
When it reboots, you get that Droid with the hazard sign (which I know you're at, but just for the sake of others who need help) all you have to do is hold down the power button and WHILE it's held, press the volume up or down button and move to "Factory Reset". When you hold down the power button and press the volume rocker, a little menu will appear. It should only take a few minutes then.
Hope this helps. Apparently this is a WiFi issue. I'll definitely be keeping backups as of now..
I left it off, plugged it back in for a couple of hours and it booted right up. Strange.
I'm wondering if it had anything to do with juice defender and its settings that take effect at a lower battery level? Its the only thing I can come up with. Never had a stock phone's ui force quit and not reboot. The battery was definitely up to 25% given the time it was initially charging, but maybe it was still interfering.
Well, now that she's running, time to get root, recovery, rom and rejoice.
Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated.

I had the exact same problem happen last night with UI crashing and then the getting stuck at the boot animation. I was desperately searching online, looking to find a solution that didn't involve rebooting to factory setting and came across this post and did exactly what you did and it WORKED, very strange, I really wanna know what caused that!!!!
I've had the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. I received it on December 21st, with stock 4.0.1 build. No root or unlock attempt at any time. On January 2nd I experienced this problems (UI process crash, screen not responding, reboot and stuck in boot animation).
The only solution was to do a factory reset and start over.
On January 10th same problem, same solution. Second factory reset.
I got the 4.0.2 OTA just two days after that. I thought that would resolve the problem. The phone seemed more stable, with less FC's and no trace of the UI crash. Indeed it lasted long...
Exactly until January 24th when I picked up the phone and seemed in the sleep of dead. Removed the battery, restarted the phone... and stuck in the boot animation.
Do you have any advice? Should I return the phone? Aside from those specific problems I am quite happy with the SGN and Android 4 in general. And I use it quite a lot (I have a very long train commute) without other problems.
Again...
It happened again!!
I don't know what to do anymore, this is not a usable phone when I have to reinstall and reconfigure every 3 weeks.
I may have found the problem
Well, not me exactly, but this bug report seems to fit the problem and the charging workaround. Seems to be a problem the file used to store the battery stats and draw the charge graph.
It also fits my usage (I try not to charge it up until 100%).
I can't post links to the forum, the issue is id number 24518 which you can find in code.google.com/p/android/
I brought my Nexus Prime from Korea last month.
A few hours ago I was listening to music on my phone when it rebooted. After that it came back on for roughly 10 seconds before rebooting again.
I uninstalled a game from my phone roughly 30 minutes before this error happened.
I cannot use my phone now, I get a few seconds of use out of it before its stuck in a continuous reboot cycle.
I have tried letting it cool down (it was a hot day), removing the simcard and changing batteries. Not sure what else I can do with only a few seconds of use.
Model number - SHW-M420S
Is anyone able to help me get out of this reboot cycle?
Try to back up important things and do factory reset. Is your phone rooted? CWM recovery installed? If so, before doing factory restore you could try wiping cache/dalvik cache first.
Sent from my super Galaxy Nexus plus®
Luckily its still a new phone, so there isn't much on it.
The phone is rooted in that I cannot access it in any way. Even connecting to a computer is useless as its only on for a few seconds before it reboots itself.
CWM recovery isn't installed, will be when the phone is working again though!
Is there a way to wipe the cache/dalvik cache or factory reset while the phone is off?
fastboot will allow you to erase data,userdata, as well as flash a custom recovery like cwm or a full rom.
bk201
edit: boot your device with POWER+VOLUP+VOLDOWN into fastboot. search google and/or xda for some fastboot tutorials.
I had this problem awhile back. It was a bum phone with hardware issue. I had to exchange it. Yours may be in the same boat.
I will try a fastboot later today and let you know the outcome, thank you.
If all else fails I'll send it back to Korea for new hardware I guess.
I ran into this problem a while ago. I had to restore the phone to stock using the image from Google. Haven't had a problem since
I am completely stock, no root. Phone has been working fine, but for the last 3 days, it will sit at the Google boot logo for 5 to 10 minutes, then start booting. I already did the factory reset back to defaults, 3 times. After the factory reset it will work normally or about 3-4 hours and then its back to taking 10 minutes to boot. I have not loaded any apps on the phone since the factory reset, just my exchange server settings for contacts. It is a pain, because I have multiple batteries. After the phone is done booting, everything works fine, nothing is slow.
Any recommendations?? I have the warranty on the phone, is it worth making a claim? Do they replace it with another nexus, or will they give me a S3?
Thanks All.
It might sound dumb, but are you shutting your phone down properly? If not, your phone will do the equivalent of a chkdsk (Windows check disk) on boot to ensure the integrity of the system/data files. This will usually take several minutes during boot-up.
I hold the power button down and then tap power off and wait for the phone to turn off.
Is it possible for the internal memory to be going bad causing a check on boot-up?
Is there a way to log what is going on to see maybe what is causing the issue?
Thanks.

You could always pull a logcat.

Sounds like time for a warranty or insurance replacement.
I was just using my phone like normal today opening up the transit app at the bus stop and it randomly froze and restarted. After that, it only shows the initial Google screen and just keeps bootlooping, but never even gets to the part where the OS is loading (with the google animation). It was just on stock 6.0.1, MTC20K I think. Was not rooted. Bootloader was/is unlocked. Secure boot was/is enabled. It won't even go into stock recovery (when I select recovery it immediately goes back to the Google screen and continues as if I had never selected recovery). I have tried manually flashing each piece of the latest factory 7.0.0 build (NRD90S), but even though fastboot says everything was successful, nothing seems to have changed. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Same thing just happened to me. I have no root or anything but it will not boot the OS. I hope there is a fix for the problem because I really want to use the phone.

No recovery for you either?
What was the latest Build you had when it was working fine?
To get into the recovery plug the phone into your computer. Go into fastboot (vol down + power) and select the power off option. When it turns off or goes to the charging screen, hold volume up + power to boot to download mode. Once in download mode, turn the phone off by holding vol down + power, then go back into fastboot and you should be able to now access recovery mode. This is what I did, and then flashed back to 6.0.1 and it runs fine now. No Idea why going into download mode allows you to then access recovery and get one clean boot, but it does

Surprisingly, this worked. I forgot about download mode being an option. I also am not sure why this worked.
Edit: The phone boots, but is still randomly rebooting rather often. Not sure why, as everything was wiped and it should have been a fresh install of everything.
Another Edit: Back to boot looping/not getting to the Android loading screen. I didn't do anything other than let it download my apps. Maybe it is a hardware problem after all because it did successfully boot into Android a couple times.
This seems to be a common problem which I have, too. Looks like a whole series of devices had these issues. Currently LG is unable to repair my device because auf missing spare parts they say. So after effortless 3 weeks they will send my unrepaired device back to me with a letter for my dealer to get back my money.
Nice quality and service, LG - NOT!

That is actually pretty good outcome. Pixel phone is coming out soon.
Just had this happen today. Streaming music over Bluetooth and using another app, then tried switching tracks in Google Play Music and the app froze. Phone was unresponsive with app on the screen, then screen went off and wouldn't power on.
I finally got it on by holding down power for 30 seconds, but kept boot-looping to Google boot screen. I was able to get into fastboot mode and wipe everything and install the factory image. Still doing the same thing!
Just got off phone with Google. Told the rep everything I had tried and she is working on a replacement order. Supposed to call me back after chatting with higher level support. I wish they would just send me a new Pixel phone, or the 6P at least!
Ive had the same issue, where I just couldnt get passed the Google screen, the only solution for me to get back on to my phone was to let it happen until the battery died. After i let the battery die i turned it back on normally and connected it to my charger, it hasnt turned off since but im sure it will sooner or later
Edit: Issue is still happening but the only way for me to turn it back on is because the battery dies
This just happened to my and my wifes phones...all within a week of each other. I sent my wife's in about a week and a half ago to LG for warranty service. I am hoping that they are able to fix it...it is still in the 'repair' phase. I am trying to decide whether or not I want to send my phone in (which just died yesterday) before or after LG figures out what is going on with my wifes. In both cases, the phones were running fine and just shut down by themselves. The battery was not dead. Each time, the phone will boot to the Google screen, but then immediate shut down. I can get in to recovery and do actions within there, so I do not believe it to be a battery issue. However, as soon as you attempt to boot the phone, it will die.
Were you guys using stock setups or custom ones?

on both phones, bone stock. Only difference was I was running the beta before getting the stock OTA and my wife's was full stock and received the stock OTA.
I'm having the exact same problem here. Running Android 6.0.1, rooted. Phone suddenly turned off and won't start past the "Google" screen, except for once when it booted fully then immediately shut down, and three times when it loaded the boot animation and shut down. Bootloader is unlocked and TWRP recovery is installed. I can access fastboot but not recovery. I've tried the suggestion of booting into download mode then recovery again, but that didn't work. I have NOT tried updating to Android 7 yet, so this isn't the same boot loop issue faced by some other users. I don't want to try flashing stock yet and lose my data because I have a ton of Tasker profiles and tasks that I haven't backed up in months and I don't want to risk losing them! Serves me right...
Any suggestions?

In my opinion your EMMC probably died, but you can try reflashing factory images to see if it is some other problem.
I would only try LGUP as a last resort because it will set Allow OEM unlocking to false and lock your bootloader, making further experimentation difficult.
BTW IMO the Android 7 bootloop probably isn't related to Android 7. I think they are just saying hardware problem (EMMC failure) that happens to show up more frequently when you have large updates of OS.
The way Google worded it, it made it seem like Android 7 is killing some hardware because of some incompatibility with just some isolated hardware builds.
I would suggest you let it keep booting and flash some factory images and sometimes EMMC will come back briefly and boot. If it does, immediately backup as much as you can before doing anything else.
Same deal for me and they are sending a replacement. This is a MAJOR blackeye!
Is your phone under warranty then? I am having the same problem as everyone on here. I've tried everything. I bought the phone just over a year ago though, so am a little concerned Google will turn around and tell me it's not their problem... Even though this is clearly a fault!
