[Q] Verizon / TORO JB ROM Flashing Help Needed!!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've tried to flash the two different ROMs out for JB and for some reason it is not getting past the Nexus Logo Boot screen. I can flash any ICS ROM but JB never gets past the boot screen. I've been flashing ROMs since the OG Droid and have never experienced this before.
Steps already taken:
1) Full wipe
2) Format of system and data
3) executed Super Wipe Script
4) Battery Pulls
5) Backed out of CWM and unmounted system and data
6) Flashed Various AOKP and AOSP ROMs and tried to JB ROM from those ICS ROMs
7) Performed a factory restore of the phone using WugFresh's ToolKit (un-rooted and locked phone) and then Rooted, unlocked, and flashed CWM again
8) Flashed Team Win Recovery and re-flashed JB ROMs
I have tried everything I can think of and yet nothing has worked. Has anyone Else experienced this or does anyone have any suggestions on what I can possibly do to get past the Nexus Boot screen? Thanks in advance.

I've tried Liquid Vicious Versions 1-3 and BAMF Versions 1.0 and 1.2. Thanks for the updated BAMF...I'll try that one now.

I am having the same problem as you, I flashed multiple JB roms and it is stuck at the X screen. I can flash ics roms easily tho.

I had the freeze at logo issue a few times while I was trying to get my JB up and running.
1. I got superwipe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20473980
2. I dl JellyBelly and GApps from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28677-rom-jelly-belly-v17-07012012-jellybean-41-its-all-about-speed/
3. Cleared cache/factory reset
4. Flashed and used superwipe
5. Flashed JellyBelly then GApps
I had to wait about 5 minutes while it booted. Hope this helps, yall.

I'll definitely try those steps...Thanks!

Make sure wipe/factory reset and also wipe caches while you're at it. Also make sure that CWM is updated.

Same here, I've tried just about every rom out there now and have cleaned the phone out several times. Wonder if there is anyone who had a boot longer than 20 minutes and finally was able to get it to boot, wonder what they did to get it to boot. I've waited hours with some of these roms and still no luck.

Are you wiping dalvik and system cache along with doing data wipe?

wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache partition -> wipe dalvik -> format /system -> format /data -> format/cache. I've tried super wipe. All Roms never get passed the boot animation. I get past the "Google" unlock symbol, but it just sits at the boot animation. It doesn't reboot or anything, just sits there for hours or when I get bored looking at it after about 30 minutes or so.

@nothingshocking

Not going to happen man...I've tried EVERYTHING and have gotten feedback from various devs to no avail. All I get is Nexus boot logo FOREVER.
Solution is to flash it back to stock (plus unroot and re-lock) and then take it in to a store and get another one shipped to you since it's still under the annual warranty. As for the issue for bringing it in, just say it boot loops at random times (that's not technically a lie).

Cyanogenmod 9 has made my device useless.

After installing Cyanogenmod 9 on the One X I started to notice extremely poor signal, Mobile and Wi-Fi. Also the phone would crash and randomly reboot when doing simple tasks such as opening messages etc.
Upon trying to get into recovery to install a different rom, the phone now flashes on a black screen and restarts the phone.
To try and solve this issue, I unrooted the phone and restored to stock recovery.
I then re-rooted the phone and installed clockworkmod recovery again.
I can now access clockworkmod recovery although it seems to have no effect. Installations of any rom fail and cyanogenmod always pops straight back up again after rebooting.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Does anyone have a way to fix this? Possibly to force the phone completely back to stock?
You can try first "SuperWipe" (from ARHD's thread) and flash a new ROM (don't forget boot.img before...)

Ran superwipe and tried to install the stock rom. Superwipe ran fine and did the job, although the rom installation still failed as it was doing before and I am now stuck with a htc bootloop. The device won't boot into recovery either. Any ideas anyone?

Did you try holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons while in the bootloop to enter the bootloader? Hold them down until the lights start to flash, the screen goes off and then the bootloader comes up.
If you can get into recovery with that, factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then try install the ROM.
I'm not the best person to be helping, but I hope that works for you!
I had a similar problem once where the phone would just sit on the HTC One X screen, and trying to go into recovery just put the phone back to the HTC screen. I fixed it by flashing the boot.img, factory reseting, clearing out caches and installing the ROM again. No problems since.
I'm afraid if this doesn't work, I may have to abandon you and let someone else take over, as I'm no expert, but I'll see what I can do to help.
Edit: sorry, it is 2AM here and I need some rest for an early start at 6AM. I will check up on this thread when I wake.

FIXED!!!
To anyone else having this problem, I downloaded ARHD Flashboot 7.0.0 and ARHD 7.0.0, followed the instructions on what to do and installed ARHD successfully.
This has now completely gotten rid of Cyanogenmod and seems to have got clockworkmod working again.
It's probably work using the "Fix Permissions" option in ROM manager before you attempt this as I believe that is what got clockworkmod working and able to install files again. (I may be wrong)
Thankyou for everyone's assistance.

JB boot loops my phone!

So I installed several versions of Jelly Bean. I tried TeamBAMF Leaked ROM, Jelly Belly Leaked, and Vicious Toro (Source). All of them soft brick my phone after a day or two. It will just boot loop constantly. New ROM and Wipe make no difference. A Restore doesnt work because it gives an error when restoring Data. Always happens after a reboot or powering on the device. For me to fix this, I must use ADB to push the stock google image to the phone. This is tiring as it happened 3 times. I love JB and the features but I can't deal with this soft brick. Anyone else having an issue? I tried turning off SetCPU as well and using the Kernels that come with the ROMs. I would really like to install JB. I am and have been using AOKP M5 with absolutely no issues.
I am ready to get a new phone through Asurion. This is a launch Verizon Nexus.
EDIT: Missed the fact that this is a Verizon Nexus so removing this comment.
asawoszc said:
Have you tried a stock version of Jelly Bean from the files on XDA? Sorry but it just sounds like you've tried custom ROM's. My other suggestion would be to put on 4.0.4 takju from Google's site and see if you get the Jelly Bean OTA update and if it resolves the issues in the short term. If it does then it must be the process you're going thru to put on the ROM's..... might be missing something simple like Dalvik cache wipe, etc. Just speaking in very general terms.

no, he shouldnt do any of what you said. he is on a VERIZON nexus. not a GSM. if he flashed takju there could be serious problems.
Apologies... I missed the last line. Will edit out my comment.

Thanks Zepius but I already did this. It's the only way for me to recover. My phone is fine now on AOKP M5 but I want to use Jelly Bean. Is there any reason JB would cause boot loops after 24 hours? It's just a pain in the ass because I can't simply recover through CWM. I need a PC. The first time this happened I had to back up my SDCARD from ADB. This took forever!!
BTW, I know how to Root, ROM, etc. I always do everything twice. Wipe Data/Dalvik/Cache and install the ROM twice.
just curious... which version of CWM are you using?
Oh man I have the same issue I just get stuck at the Google screen or the jb splash screen on my cdma nexus I tried everything and wiped every last thing on my phone I just gave up and said ile wait for the official update I guess. Anyway I hope this thread shed some light on the situation we having

Use the superwipe from the android HD thread, flash the rom, everytime it boots let it sit at the google logo IT IS NOT FROZEN. It just takes a while sometimes.
What are you doing that's causing a soft-brick after 24 hours? I mean, the phone is just sitting on a table and BOOM - it freezes and it's soft-bricked?? Maybe give us the scenario that happens when it's soft-bricked. We need more concrete details. It could be something you're doing wrong.

Nope, it keeps boot looping. I had it sitting for over 30 min. It starts with Google then JB splash. Then boot loops and continues. Even when I wipe and install AOKP it still boot loops. I need to use Fastboot to wipe and flash stock image.

It happens as soon as I reboot or power off the phone. For instance, Saturday I went shark fishing so I powered down the phone to save battery. Power it up several hours later and it boot looped for 20 min.
I am using a AOKP restore I recovered through ADB. Once I flashed stock image, rooted, installed CWM, the restore worked perfectly.

Interesting that you got it to work once, because I have the same issue you do but have never gotten it to boot past the Google animation. Wonder if there was a Rom that we flashed that caused the issue to begin with. I have tried so many JB roms now that I don't know which one I started with, but I think it was Vicous JB since that was the first one I saw released at the time. Just wish someone out there that has had our symptoms and finally got past them could tell us what they did.
Well at least I'm not the only having this issue. Hopefully someone can shed some light.
@nothingshocking
Its the [email protected]_jelly jb rom that I flash when this things all starts.. the vicious rom works for me since v1 to v3.. I'm trying other rom because of grs issue in vicious at that time. I'm not afraid to flash or be in softbrick because I know I can always use my backup and restore or there's toolkit just in case ,but this thing I'm really puzzled this is so weird.. I can flash any ics rom but not the jb rom.. someone suggest me to use jb bootloader and I did and same results.. I'm really hoping that someone of our bright dev can look in to this and help us..

Same exact problem here. I would boot loop anytime I rebooted or powered down my phone. Today, I flashed the new clockwork recovery (v.6.0.0.?). So of course I rebooted my phone to see what it looked like. Well it looked cool but when I went to reboot my phone it was just stuck on the google screen. Wouldn't boot at all. Tried wiping data/cache/dalvik cache/format system/format cache/fix permission. Got desperate cuz nothing worked. Backups wouldn't restore. Got "installation aborted error". Finally did like the op and flashed stock image. Works fine now. Just seems like my phone doesn't like the JB at all. Has done this on every JB I flashed.

Maybe it has to do with hardware version? For those of you with problems like me, are you on a launch Nexus? That is what I have.
My SKU is SCHI515MSV
I am not sure if they redesigned the hardware at some time.

a few questions:
and i can verify the issue is something on your end, because the ROM you tried was mine, and nobody has had that issue (not booting it)
do this...
1. make sure you have the latest version of clockwordmod, don't use twrp
2. re-download my ROM (just for sake of not adding any other variables to your issue, because mine should boot)
3. put ROM on external SD card
before continuing... take a quick look at my thread here in QA titled "flashing ROMs correctly every time" .... so you can get some instruction on verifying MD5 of the download... don't worry, the thread will explain that you...
now proceed
4. boot to recovery
5. do a factory reset - 3 times do this, just to be thorough. people will say you don't need to, but like i said, just for the sake of removing variables
6. go to mounts and storage, format system 3 times - (yes, through recovery as well)
7. flash ROM, and reboot
EDIT*** i will say this, ALWAYS format system when flashing a new ROM

coming from a cm based ROM, or aokp, whatever you said... you would want to format system as well.

I was having some of the same issues. I downloaded XquiziT's Superwipe and ran it by installing from external sd card. I ran it three times to clear everything out, then I wiped data, cache and the rest three times.
No probs for me after that.
Will definitely give that a try as well! Thank you! Will post my results when the holiday is over.

GNex stuck in boot loop since 4.3 flash

Few hours before this post I flashed a rooted version of android 4.3 from the thread by "Carlos_Manuel". However, following that the supersu was not working I flashed the supersu binaries over the ROM from TWRP. Since then, it is stuck in boot loop at the Google Logo. Tried flashing PA, Sourcery, CM but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

Fix it by flashing factory images! do a full wipe, you can get imprtant stuff from your Nexus by using adb pull commands!
Users was blaming me when they screwed their Nexus with the root files!
I can successfully even flash old root files and no bootloops but ofc. root wont work if using those old root files.
OP, did you factory reset between ROM flashes?

Ok, I am paranoid and want to be sure about this. I am in the same boat as the OP. I have a 32gb toro on twrp 2.5. I am under the impression that flashing the stock images will flash my sdcard partition and I want to pull some files if that is the case. Is there anyway to pull the files or am I stuck and need to start fresh.

If you tried wiping just cache/dalvik after the flash I dont know there may be another way to get it to boot or not but yeah the factory image will start it over fresh and get you out of it

Few hours before this post I flashed a rooted version of android 4.3 from the thread by "Carlos_Manuel". However, following that the supersu was not working I flashed the supersu binaries over the ROM from TWRP. Since then, it is stuck in boot loop at the Google Logo. Tried flashing PA, Sourcery, CM but nothing seems to work. What should I do?

thanks for your help.. but I ended up flashing factory image of 4.3 which fixed the problem. Also I wnted to ask if you know of any 4.3 kernels that have implemented high performance audio mod. So far I have tried Faux and Hybrid but both dont have it.

[Q] Nexus 4 Paranoid Android Stuck in Bootloop

Hi!
So, first off, I'm completely new to all of this. I've had my Nexus for about a year now, and after much reading, thinking and research I decided to root it and flash Paranoid Android. I did a terrible job, clearly.
I used Nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 and was running Jellybean 4.3.
First problem was that my root wouldn't go into custom recovery mode, all I got was an open droid on its side with a red exclamation point. That was scary.
I unrooted using toolkit and rerooted. The custom recovery worked this time, so from there I flashed Paranoid Android 3.99
It started to reboot in PA, and it's still going.
I can't get into recovery mode. I can't get the battery out.
Every time I try to get into recovery mode it starts to reboot. Right now, I have a glowing brick of glass and metal
So, yeah. Anyone got a solution?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
I successfully flashed the stock rom.:laugh: I used nexus toolkit, just had to use the advanced settings that sounded scary at first.
Could someone provide or link to a step by step indepth guide to flashing PA. Starting from before root. I don't trust myself again.
Boot into your custom recovery
Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Wipe cache & dalvik cache
Reboot

Further question, I don't know if you know anything about this, but since I reset to stock ROM, my back softkey and volume keys don't work.
Any ideas? Should I start a new thread concerning this issue?

No, sorry... can't help you there.
Did a quick google search and found reports of volume keys not functioning for some people after a 4.3 update but nothing in regards to the back button.
As it's not a problem I'm familiar with, the most I could suggest is a reboot. If you do plan on flashing a custom ROM though, hopefully that resolves it.
Issue seemed to have fixed itself. Odd.
Thanks for your help!
Good to know
