Galaxy nexus GSM rom installation issues

I have recently bought a GSM galaxy nexus and have rooted it, for the past few weeks I have been trying to install custom roms through Cwm (drewgaren, eagleblood and cm nightly) however every time I install the rom it gets stuck after the Google logo.
Any idea what the issue is? And what rom do you guys recommend to fix the rotation issue, battery life and good overclocking speed?

Gets stuck after the Google logo, as in the boot animation loops or you just see "Google" with the little lock at the bottom forever?

Did you follow the instructions of installing and did you do a full wipe before installing the ROMs?
You have to do a full wipe if switching to a new ROM ... keep in mind you will lose every user data while doing so, make sure to backup everything you need

It gets stuck at the boot animation,
Ah, full data wipe is required to install new roms?

*facepalm*
Well, that should be one of the first steps when things go haywire

Kindly will do that, what rom do u guys suggest?

What are you using to flash? ADB, ClockworkMod Recovery? My rule for ROMS has been: download to phone and ensure download was completed successfully, reboot to CWM recovery, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, install ROM, wipe Dalvik again, reboot.
If you can provide any more info regarding your process I can try and help you out.

Which galaxy nexus version is yours? Which Roms did you install? Did all three wipes?

@ooddiittyy,
I'm using the one from gnex toolkit v7(clockwork mod touch recovery) I did wipe data /factory reset 3times,wipe cache and wipe dalvik and I also format system,cache and data..reboot and stock in boot loop.. I did that to 3jb roms and same thing happens..so I restore to ics.and this time boot up well. This is the first time I've in counter something like this..been flashing since vibrant.

also, cwm touch is known to have issues with flashing stuff.

Oh.. so I think I should use rom manager.. to flash vicious-toro v3..

Try re downloading the rom again if its stuck at the Google animation let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes. It should boot up on its own. If not then there's something else wrong. But when I'm stuck at the Google logo with any jb rom I just let it sit. And eventually it boots up fine.

OK. Hmm. Go into recovery wipe everything 3x data/cache/dalvik cache flash the rom (don't flash a kernel) just the rom go back and reboot system now and see if that helps.
Edit: make sure u have over 50% battery before doing this.

I did that last night..wipe 3× everything.. did flash just rom, then rom with kernel, and also I did try wipe just cache and dalvik.. and also I did try format system, cache and data...
Edit: this is the first time it happen to me..even though I unbrick ,luck bootl. Factory reset .. its so weird...

hey all,
not to highjack this thread, but I'm suddenly having the same issue.
I was on VanirBEAN v7 with the Popcorn Kernel that came with it.
I then flashed Franco's latest (384 GPU version).
Had no problems until last night when I let the phone run the battery all the way out and die completely. I let it charge for a bit, then tried booting and I'm stuck at the Google logo or get a reboot during the boot animation, depending on what I'm doing.
So here's what I've tried. All of these come with a wipe/cache/Davlik inbetween:
flash Vicious Toro JB V3 (stays on Google logo)
flash VanirBEAN v7 (reboots at VanirBEAN animation)
flash AOKP build 37 (reboots on the TeamKang animation)
selectively restore boot and system for AOKP 37 from a previous stable backup (reboots at the Android boot animation since in the ROM I had it set to not show the TeamKang boot animation)
I'm really at a loss right now. I'm trying a full restore on the backup I did before installing my first JB ROM.
edit: tried a full restore and i'm getting "Error while restoring /data!"... ugh.
Is my only choice to try Wugfresh's toolkit and restore stock and relock?

No one tried to fix permissions?
3x wipes, superwipe scripts..
That's not gonna help. If you wiped it once, it isn't there anymore.

I used wugfresh to back from fresh start and still if I flash jb rom I'm stock in jb rom.. done with 3 different jb rom. Same on all of them.. and yes I also did fix permission... I also did about mount and unmount regarding the system,cache and data... I'm tired of flashing and waiting in boot loop so I restore to ics gummy. I hope someone can help us with this...

I suppose you could try reinstalling the bootloader, or using one of the recent JB bootloaders and see if that helps. I can't think of a good reason why this should be happening based on what you've described, however. I assume you've checked obvious stuff like the MD5 sums on all your downloaded ROMs, etc?

Hi everybody!
I have identical issue, I did all possible, now I´m close to give it up. Yes, I checked all downloaded files by MD5 sums, I tried latest CWM, latest TWRP, gnex-JB-bootloader (…lc03). Today I tried also “Super_Wipe_Lite_Nexus”, but I can´t jump boot animation. I´m flashing roms long time, but this magic never happened. What else we should try to clear/delete?

tried many things to get to JB. still getting stuck?

Hey guys.
I was running paranoid android 4.0.4 and t was good but I wanted to go to JB. I tried for a long time and it kept getting stuck at the bootloader loop screen.
I formatted sdcard, went back to stock. Back to square one. got TWRP and rooted it.
It tells me there is an update I can go from 4.0.4 to 4.1 and I allow it and it STILL gets stuck at the bootloader loop.
I tried to manually put in a ROM again, the black AOKP one and still stuck in the loop.
I haven't got a custom launcher or anything. pretty much running stock and wanted to get to JB...
my phone is maguro.
Anyone have any ideas?

anyone?!

Are you talking about an OTA Official update? If so you need stock recovery, bootloader and radio. You can't flash an OTA without these. If you really want to go down this route, you will need to flash factory images for your device and start from fresh.

Have you tried CM10? I have had great luck on Euroskank. I tried AOKP this morning and ended up stuck in a bootloop but Euroskank AOSP and AOKP have both been great. Also I use the 0726 gapps.

thanks! I will try these tomorrow!

Download the following: Superwipe zip, and Jelly Bean Bootloader zip
http://d-h.st/jcO Bootloader
http://www.mediafire.com/?lxpw84fwtm5cj6w Superwipe Script
Use clockworkmod and flash the superwipe choosing install zip from sd first the the same for the bootloader then flash your rom. Let it boot up which can take a couple minutes at the boot screen

What worked for me was the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. It allows you to wipe the entire system and replace it with a factory image. The factory image for stock JB is available now, so it's as easy as a couple clicks. It's the only thing that worked for me completely, i.e., no sdcard0 bug.
NB: It wipes EVERYTHING!!!!! Backup anything important.

Leaked jelly bean issue on big red

I haven't had a chance to ref lash yet but here's the issue flashed the leaked stock ROM on my nexus everything works good but when I reboot my phone it gets stuck on the Google splash screen requiring a battery pull to reboot.. what could be causing this issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Which nexus are you using? Make sure you are downloading the right files. Sprint gnex is the toroplus, Verzion is toro, and gsm is maguro. Also did you make sure to wipe all data and factory reset before you installed the zip.

[Q] Why does a battery pull kill my stock rooted 4.1.2 SGH-T989 UVMC6 ???? [SOLVED]

If you are running stock rooted 4.1.2 UVMC6 on a SGH-t989, pull out your battery while the phone is on. Now, can you get past the 4G screen? If you can, is everything now FC on you?
This is frustrating. It seems all runs SO PERFECTLY. Until I pull my battery on the stock rooted 4.1.2. Then my phone will not boot or will not boot properly.
Anyone else have this?
*edit* Jamison's Infamous CACHE wipe fixed it. I ran the cache wipe script under TWRP. The phone rebooted itself. I waited a few minutes and it worked!!!
Get the script here!

I'll try this next time. I'm tired of restoring my phone just to have it randomly die. A few days later.
This time I restored with the stock rooted deodexed rom and not ODIN. Maybe it'll keep working...
Funny thing though. The ODIN stock for SGH-t989 works GREAT (minus one wierd FC ridden boot that fixed itself) on my wife's SGH-i727 Skyrocket. WiFi calling and all.

Why are do doing a battery pull? You can't power off normally? If the phone is freezing just hold the power button in for about ten seconds, and it will do a reboot no matter what it's frozen on. Then when it reboots you can do a normal reboot or power off.

Thats where it runs into problems. I get to the 4G screen and 99% on the loading bar. Then it just stays there no matter what. Battery pull. Power button reset. Nothing. Oh well. I installed the stock rooted rom and now do frequent nand backups. Haven't had a problem so far... I've tucked the cache wipe script on my sd card just in case...

It takes time to boot sometimes. I've waited around 10 - 15 minutes for it to get past the loading screen. I don't know if it's device related or update related but either way just give it some time your next go
