Ok so i got my nexus today and it is fantastic. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone no problem. installed clockwork with rom manager though, I turned the phone off and then while pressing vol up and down went into recovery again. Rebooted into clockwork and bam we're good. I rebooted to move some files over and when i tried to get into recovery again i get the android dude with the yield sign over and over again. Im not sure why this is happening, any suggestions?
I was having the same problem at first. Problem was fixed by "flash clockwork mod" and then reboot into recovery. After that I had no problems. :beer:

I also initially tried to install CWM thru rom mananger but after a reboot or 2, booting into recovery always led do a android with red triangle and I'd have to re-install (this was happened many times)
To finally fix it I downloaded the CWM .img and flashed it using fastboot on my laptop while the phone was in the bootloader. Recovery image hasn't died since.
Means image isn't applied.
Get Rom manager from the market and it will flash image.
Done.
Android with yield sign is stock Android recovery.

I've flashed 4 times the Vicious V3 and TR4NSCEND ROM once last night. Each time the ROM works fine and then I reboot it and it goes into bootloop mode. I lose all data and have to reload the OS from scratch. I've followed all the instructions to the letter, and still the JB ROM works for a day or so and then it crashed.
What could be the issue? Is it a phone (hardware issue), one of the appa that I'm using, or something I'm doing wrong?
When I'm retoring the apps, I'm not reinstalling the data, apps only.
Really getting tired of reflashing the ROM and having it crash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
At list yours can boot up.. mine just stock in boot loop the first time I flash jb rom it works and I used it for a couple of days and try to flash different jb rom then boom! Boot loop.. I've flash 3 different jb rom with no success.. I'm not new to this stuff I've flash more than 100 different rom since vibrant gs2 and now gnex. I really don't have any idea what happen.. I think one of the jb rom had mess up my gnex. I've I restore to fresh and unbrick state many times and every time I flash jb rom it just stock in boot loop.. I read in some post that I should wait but I don't think 30to 1hr in boot loop is to long.

does it bootloop when boot animation is rolling, or on the google screen?
if it is the first, then connect the phone to adbd, and see 'adb logcat', there might be some useful information there.
if it is the second, there must be something else. do you use an app to reboot? which recovery? if you shut the device down, and power up again, does it still bootloop?
advice: reflash stock from fastboot, flash cwm non touch or twrp 2.1.2, reboot to recovery, flash rom
advice update: use cwm 6.x.x.x or TWRP 2.2.x
long first boot
I am also encountering boot issues. On my Toro Gnex with every ROM I have put on that is Jelly Bean ( vicious, and bug less beast) the first boot just sits at the Google logo. If I do a battery pull and try to start my phone again it boots up within a minute. I will try the log to see what it reads and I will post the results. Is this happening to everyone else where it sits at the Google logo until you do battery pull?
Mine sits at Google logo regardless if I do a battery pull or data wipe on toro galaxy nexus.

Having similar issues - phone will be operational for around 20 seconds, then reboots - but it does not show the Google logo, only the coloured Nexus logo.
Additionally, for me it ONLY happens when WiFi is enabled. Hope this helps someone!
I had this problem on my gnex toro and I managed to get around it by:
Back up any data or be prepared to lose it
Reflash phone to factory 4.0.2 image using GNEX TOOLKIT (google [GNex TOOLKIT V7.4] )
Let the phone boot on stock OS
Download the ROM you'd like to flash on to your phone's sdcard
Shutdown and start on bootloader / fastboot (power + both volume buttons while phone is off)
Flash CWM recovery
Boot in to CWM recovery
Factory data reset
Flash zip from SD card
Reboot and let it load completely
I hope this helps. The gnex toolkit is really helpful and it resolved my issues with getting Vicious and other roms to load
When you say flash cwm you mean flash a zip file of cwm? I've use toolkit 7.4 many times with no problem.. I can restore flash new ics rom.. but when I flash a jb rom any kind of jb rom my phone will be just stock in nexus logo..

You will need to factory wipe. Odin doesn't wipe out those partitions.
Hello guys,
So basically my phone shut down while I was using the app drawer. And it got into a boot loop. The phone is rooted, and it has Lean Kernel and Paranoid Android 3.6 installed on it. It tried to factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, basically do everything in the recovery mode, but it still wouldn't boot. So then I formatted the sd card, and everything else there was to format. And now the phone is just stuck on the word Google. I understand (guess) that's because I've formatted the internal memory. How do I get to flash a rom to the phone now? The computer can't seem to get a connection via USB while the phone is stuck on the word Google. Thanks for your help

Just ran in to the exact same problem on my girlfriend's phone. Please help. It turns on and I can get into bootloader mode and recovery but when I go to reboot, it just stays on Google startup screen. I did the same things, formatting and such. The sd card is empty with nothing to flash. Help!
Ok, so I've managed to flash another rom. But it only shows me the boot animation and back to the Google logo...

I tried installing this kernel and this rom. But it still doesn't boot up. It seems that the kernel is installed on the phone, but the rom isn't, because the command line on the phone doesn't actually write Done or anything else, it just sits there for a while doing nothing.
why dont you flash back to stock using fastboot?
Been there and the "Nexus Root Toolkit" by WugFresh really came in handy. Used the software to go back to stock and since then no problem

Via fastboot flash the recovery first and restore from there
and then see..
it should boot up..
or
just flash a stock rom too then.

Ok, so I'm trying the Nexus Root Toolkit right now to get back to stock. But the log shows that archive does not contain:'boot.sig' , 'archive.sig', and 'system.sig'. The process was finished, and it says that stock was isntalled on the phone, but it still stuck in boot loop. It says in the CMD that it might be stuck in boot loop for 5-10 minutes, but it will eventually boot. But the phone still doesn't. And I've also tried to install each .img file through fastboot using this guide. But it still seems to be stuck in bootloop. I've been waiting for 5 minutes, but I'll keep it on for longer...
Update:
Ok, once it showed that :"apps are updating x out of y" and then it started looping again, and then another time it booted until the place where I could choose my language, aaaand it started looping again.

Well that is a progress
Try to update the recovery using Nexus Root Toolkit. Push the stock ROM using the advanced option and then flash the stock again using recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

try to lock your bootloader. if its still unlocked after you reboot your phone, your emmc chip is fried.
Having the bootloop. I've tried the Universal Nexus Tool for Linux and get no boot SIG and recovery SIG error.
I can't get it to boot at all. :/

I locked it with "fastboot oem lock" and after taking out the battery it says that the bootloader is locked. So I guess the emmc chip is fine?
By the way, is emmc memory related in anyway to the Lagfix(fstrim) app that I've got from Google Play to speed up my Nexus? Maybe the problem is somewhere there?
Also, If I'd locked the bootloader and took it to the Sprint store, would they try to fix it even though I had the phone for more than a year?
I've tried everything and still a bootloop. No matter if I recover to stock or flash a custom ROM.

Fixed the problem by buying a Nexus 5...
Hi,
there are several threads on this forum dealing with nexus devices that get stuck at the google logo when booting up, however my case is a little different:
I can not even get into recovery.
Here's the symptoms:
The touchscreen became unresponsive. I read that fixing the cache partition helps and it did.
From time to time my device would get stuck at google logo on boot, but i was still able to get into recovery, wipe cache and it would work again. This happened 2-3 times over the course of the last 3 weeks maybe, so i thought its just some minor hangup
2 days ago the device became unresponsive again and i was unable to get into recovery. I have tried several times and once i was lucky to get into recovery (it showd google logo, but when i pressed the power button to turn it off i got into recovery)
now nothing will work. i can get into the bootloader no problem and fastboot is in a working condition
i have tried flashing the factory image using the files provided by google. So far no success
Does anyone know something else to try?
EDIT: aniket0317 suggested using Wugfresh's Root Toolkit which includes a script to unbrick in case of bootloops. That seems to have worked.
Flashing back to stock is a first step, to ensure it's nothing in the software. What do you mean by "So far no success"?
Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. There is a option named Stock Flash+Unroot (Bootloop). The device should be able to get into fastboot mode, though.

This seems to have done it. I have followed the instructions in the toolkit and rebooted the device several times already successfully. The next days will tell whether the touchscreen freezes still happen. But for now, thank you.:good:

Hey,
my Nexus 7 2013 has the same error.
Im stuck in Google screen, only enter in fastboot mode.
Tried Nexus Root Toolkit and other methods but stays the same...
In TWRP, touchscreen doesnt work.
What can i do???
Thanks!
Hey thiago,
I don't really know what to do, but I have the same problem now...
I guess it should be possible to somehow boot clockworkmod recovery from fastboot,
but I'm not sure.
I'll mark this thread not solved again -.-

EDIT 2: Yes it worked, at first. Now the device is stuck in a bootloop again. I can boot into team win recovery, but touch doesn't work there so I can't do anything. Booting CWM from fastboot is also not suceessful.
What do you mean CWM is not successful, that there's no touch response? If all else fails, you can use the non-touch version of CWM, using the side buttons to navigate. But I'd be concerned if screen touches are not being recognized.
CWM dont start. Only twrp. Is there a TWRP non touch version?
There's no non-touch version of TWRP that I know of, since its design is based on touch.
What do you mean by CWM won't start? It just freezes? Did you flash the correct one?

Yes, i used this version for Regular N7 2013, but still frozen in the google screen.
I have the same problem.
Stuck on google logo. It boots Fastboot only. It does not boot system or recovery.
What I have done so far:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed preview android L successfully But it did not boot. Then i Installed android 4.4.4. Successfully But still nothing. Then i flashed android 4.3 with the same result. Lastly i flashed TWRP to try and flash a zip, but again it does not go past the google logo. Everything i flash goes successfully or at least there are no errors on the logs. I have used wugs nexus toolkit to flash everything. I can see the bootloader version being changed after flashing different android versions, so i can confirm it is flashing bootloader at least.
My conclusion:
I think there is a hardware problem but I don't know how to troubleshoot what is wrong.
If anyone has any suggestion. It will be much appreciated.

What if you flashed the stock factory recovery/ROM, or is that what you mean by 4.4.4 and 4.3? Don't use a recovery to flash the individual .img files, just run flash-all.bat and see what it does.

Yes. I flashed the factory images using wugs nexus toolkit and ticked the option flash stuck + unroot (bricked or bootlooping) to see if it would work as mentioned by OP. All factory images flash successfully all partitions, but it does not boot recovery or system. I tried different android versions hoping it would make a difference and tried booting recovery after flashing each image (4.4.4 and 4.3). I haven't tried typing the command flash all.bat myself to flash the image as you suggested. I've used the toolkit to make it easier. I'll try flashing stock typing command flash all.bat myself and report.
