[Q] Nexus Soft Bricked after Jellybean (Help Please!) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

For those who want to keep it short, this is the short story:
After updating to Bellybean, Nexus hangs on Google Logo. I'm with the stock Android System Recovery but going to factory defaults wouldn't help. I think I need an official ICS image to flash but how to have it copied to my internal SDCard (cache dir)?
Full Story:
I tried to update to Jellybean from ICS on my Galaxy Nexus and at first attempt, I succeded. However, I could not get the phone to work, to I tried changing the Baseband.
No luck with the Baseband so I thought I'd try another Jellybean update and it trhew an error. I tried rebooting and that was it. Only the Google Logo showed up.
The phone only starts to boot mode when I press both volume up and down and Power.
Now the problem is that I don't have a firmware update in my internal SDCard and when I chose to go to Factory Defaults, it still gets frozen with the google Logo.
I think having an old ICS Firmware in the cache path would help but how to get it there?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Fastboot CWM or TWRP recovery, then boot into recovery and adb push a rom to /sdcard

Why don't you flash recovery from your PC, so you can restore latest CWMR or TWRP created backup?

Download the galaxy nexus toolkit. It will have an option to flash you back to stock

And this is what happens when newbies using XToolkits. Seriously. They can make life easier for experienced users (although i prefer doing everything manually), but Android newbies really should know the basic ADB commands and what to do in cases when phone won't boot up.

Thank you for your response.
Trying your suggestions. Fingers crossed!
Edit: It worked! Thank you so much!

[SOLVED]My Nexus is stuck in a bootloop

So yea im stuck in a bootloop. My phone all of a sudden rebooted itself and it never went past the boot animation. I am able to boot into recovery and fastboot. When i do a factory reset and system restore then flash a the rom all over again it still bootloops. I dont have a nandroid backup cuz they got deleted from my sd car.

I used toolkit 5.4 and it worked like a charm Thanks for the advice and assurance buddy, i did panic a bit though. This never happened to me in all my time flashing, well ive gotten bootloops but a quick full wipe and reflash of the rom fixed it, not this time. Thanks again.

Find the yakju Odin file on xda or Google it. Extract and run the exe. Put your phone in download mode (volume down + power) plug it in via USB and wait till it restores your phone. You will have a factory restored 4.0.1 Galaxy Nexus after. Once your phone is restored, you should be prompted for 4.0.2 OTA update.

JB issues...Phone, App, or ROM causing the problem??

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..

[Q] Galaxy Nexus bricked after Android 4.3 upgrade

Hi guys!
As soon as Google released the factory images for our GNex I downloaded the yakju one and flashed it. All was running fine.
Then I tried to root with Galaxy Nexus Toolkit option for yakju 4.2.2
SuperSU was installed but said no su binary available.
After searching for a while I saw the Chainfire's root method was doing the job for the Galaxy Nexus with 4.3, and applied it to my Nexus.
I can't remember exactly but I think the first restart was fine but I'm not sure.
Now my Nexus is stuck in a boot loop and it can't pass the boot animation. The phone start and show the Google logo, then most of the times I can see the boot animation but suddenly it restarts and the process start again.
Things I've tried before posting:
- Full wipes
- Installing CM10.1 and Gapps from CWM Recovery.
- Restore a backup from CWM Recovery
- Clean install of factory images (takju and yakju, 4.1, 4.22, 4.3)
- Restoring the factory image with ODIN as said in the HOWTO guide in this forum.
- Factory reset with factory images (tajku and yakju, 4.2.2, 4.3) with Galaxy Nexus Toolkit
- OMAP Flash trying to restore some flash memory issues?
By now, nothing works and I'm starting to think that there might be a hardware problem with my Nexus.
So, what you think? Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you a lot, I read you in other posts from today and yesterday looking for a solution to my problem.
By now nothing solved it, but I'll keep on trying.
All your help is welcome, thanks!
Even after installing factory image takju jwr66v I'm stuck in the boot loop:
- Google logo -> boot animation -> restart.
- (sometimes) Google logo -> restart.
I've flashed it with flash-all.bat script and manually and nothing.
Any idea?

After 20 or more reboots, it showed the screen:

Optimizing app XX of XX"
And then, bootloop again.......
So extrange.
For me it's the same, after flashing 4.3. ALWAYS stuck at Google logo, I never even saw a bootanimation. And both TWRP and CWM can't restore a backup, when restoring data they suddenly show FAILED and they stop. Thank you Jellybean 4.3, just to try your laggy, choppy experience I'm now stuck at Google logo.

So sorry to read another case.
In mine I can see the bootanimation most of the times.
I really can't understand how the Nexus can't boot properly even after a full wipe or a factory reset using the official factory images (or after ODIN)
As I told before, I'm starting to think about hardware problems, caused or not by the 4.3 upgrade.
i just wanna make sure.
when you are flashing the factory images. are you also doing a data wipe/factory reset?
what happens if you relock then unlock? are you able to even issue the fastboot oem lock/unlock commands?
also. there has actually been times where i thought my phone was stuck forever in the bootloop. then i just let it sit(full battery) and checked it once in a while to make sure it wasnt getting too hot, and it has fixed itself. i would get worried as heck thinking that i was screwed because all the methods i tried just refused to work(including a nandroid restore with the data error mentioned above) and somehow it fixed itself and finally booted up. then once it was booted fully i went with factory img restores.

Yes, I'm doing a wipe/factory reset before and after flashing stock factory images, and I've tried without doing any wipe and still nothing.
I can use all fastboot commands (lock, unlock included), flash custom recovery images, etc
Now, with CM10.1 without Gapps installed, sometimes the phone can complete a boot and show the lockscreen or even permit me navigate through the launcher but suddenly, it shows some airtfacts in the screen and restarts again.
Thanks!

its sounding more and more like the time i accidentally left mine in a freezer(worked in a kitchen. set it down after using in an industrial freezer that goes -10F !! for over and hour. it just wouldnt boot. after warming up it was as if /data was corrupted. i couldnt do ANYTHING.)
i was pleasantly surprised when it just fixed itself after insane amount of tries of wipes, installs, restores.
good luck! i hope it gets back in working order.
(im also wondering if it might have something to do with the supersu install, as ive read that there has been issues with it and people not being able to get to the symlinked /data things such as the legacy symlink. have you checked to see if there is a "supersu removal" zip you can flash? just in case that helps? or maybe try to fastboot boot the 4.2.2 boot.img? wondering if installing cm10.1 and then fastboot boot the CM stock boot img just in case something isnt installing right with that)
Try fastboot erase commands instead of factory reset in recovery
Maybe this can sounds stupid but, did you check MD5 of the downloaded image? I don't know, just to discard some reasons

Is your phone still boot looping? Can you stay in recovery mode or does it reboot again while you're in there? If so, you might have a sticky power button. Go here for the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310
I literally just fixed my dad's s2 that was bootlooping. I'm on mobile right now, so sorry for not providing links, but I had to use odin to revert totally back to stock, then reroot. Hope this helps. I do have the files I used on his computer, lmk if you need.

[Q] Stuck at Google Logo, can only access fastboot

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 thiago,

I guess it should be possible to somehow boot clockworkmod recovery from fastboot,

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.
