I'm in quite a pickle here. For 2 days now I have been trying to install the BAMF Jellybean ROM with no success. My device is currently running the latest CM9 nightly. I have tried multiple different recoveries, used superwipe done the manual wipe, tried different ROMS, re downloaded the files, went completely back to stock and re unlocked and rooted the phone.....I am out of ideas. It absolutely will not go past the boot animation no matter how long I let it sit. I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty new here, but this Rom you're using is it for gsm GN or cdma.

Its for the CDMA VZW Nexus. Its frustrating the hell out of me.
Try another kernel maybe?
Or potentially another JB rom?
And Jelly Bean boot times can be long.
Actually, I though I was one of those that had zero problems on Jelly.
But I flashed a LeanKernel experimental build a few days ago and thought I was bootlooping for sure.
I went downstairs and made myself a sandwich just in case...and came back to the "Upgrading your applications" menu that pops up after dalvik wipes. So that means ~10 minute boot time.
Other than that ONE time however, it's been booting fast.
I'd say take a shower or something while it loops.
You may be wrongly assuming it's looping.
And sitting there staring at your phone just makes it seem longer.

I have tried several differnt JB ROMS. I waited for almost an hour a few times and it just stays at the "X" boot screen. I have not however tried a different kernel. I will give it a shot.

I've waited several hours with many different kernels and can never get past the X. That glowing X might as well be red when it comes to my device. Let us know if you ever get past the boot screen.

I am having the same problem. Did you ever get JB running on your phone? I have tried 3 ROMS and a variety of starting points, formats, etc.
Nope. Never got it working. I'm gonna see if I can get this one exchanged with the live wallpaper reboot trick.

I am very much interested in how that works out. Replacement and if it solves the problem.
Same problem Here.. but the first time vicious jb rom been public I manage to flash it without problem and I was able to use it for a couple of days.. then I decide to try different jb rom then BOOM! infinite boot loop.. been jumping from different forums and I couldn't find any solution. Try all kind of cwm ,kernel,jb rom.. kernel and rom combo with no success. Also flash jb boot loader.. but I can restore flash ics rom with out any issue.

lulz, might as well just do it from command prompt. I never have faith in toolkits. They only carry out a set of instructions. If anything doesn't go perfectly they fail.
once imm76k is unzipped:
adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.fc05.img

Aren't you suppose to wipe before flashing ROMs not after.

I tried loading a couple Jelly Bean roms for my Verizon GNex.
It's unlocked and everything and it was on 4.0.4 Build IMM76K with superuser and CWM recovery. The whole deal.
I ran recovery and tried to load these 2 ROMS, 2 seperate times starting from a fresh 4.0.4 build each time:
BAMF you jelly v1.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744389
and
Team Liquid Vicious-toro V3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738018
Someone suggested to try a different kernel, but I'm not sure what that means.
What should I do?
are you using the touch recovery?
Did you WIPE DATA first?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Try Team Vicious's again, and be patient. I remember when I first flashed V1 I waited about 2-5 minutes before it brought me to the welcome screen. The Kernel that comes with Vicious is fine, although I've been using Faux's Kernel and am LOVING it.
You can flash kernels the same way you flash ROMs, as long as it is in a ZIP file, you are good to go. Just make sure it is compatible with Jelly Bean.
Let me know what method you are using to flash ROMs and I will try to be more detailed if needed.
Yes I am using the touch recovery. Am I not suppose to?

Did you fix permissions?
What loading screen? Google screen or boot animation?
Jeez, people need to search for real, like 3 threads on this already. Why don't you ask over in respective rom thread? Better yet, I don't believe bamf or vicious devs would release a rom without making sure it boots.

GNex stuck at Jelly Bean ROMs boot animation loading screen
I'm in a similar situation. After I flashed my Verizon GNex to Vicious Jelly Bean V3 everything seemed fine. So I decided to try my luck at flashing a theme as well. The phone is stuck on an endless JellyBean animation screen. My laptop no longer recognizes the Samsung drivers ie. they won't load, so I have no way to talk to this thing. I've tried to initiate recovery mode on the phone and it won't work either. Anybody know something I could try? I'm obviously new at this so any help would be appreciated.
Same problem over here with a friends Gnex. Same JB that installs and boots fine on my Gnex will not run on his. Weird issue

Jeez why don't you try helping the OP?
RIght, it seems my phone is rejecting all and any 4.1 OTAs and ROMs.
I have tried every combination of stock takju, yakju, OTA, ROMs, recovery, radios the lot.
My phone applies the update ok then when it starts it just sits in a boot loop getting hotter and hotter.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on and what it could be?
Or has anyone else had this problem?
I can happily flash stock Google images (4.0.4), 4.x.x ROMs no problem it just seems to be JB.
Thanks

Why dont you tell us what exact phone you have, and walk is through a typical ROM installation
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Try locking then unlocking the bootloader (this should wipe all your data off the phone!). Then flash stock factory images via fastboot. If you still can't boot after doing that then something is wrong with your phone physically.
if you don't have the drivers and fastboot setup:
drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875&highlight=naked+samsung
fastboot: http://www.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/ (just rename the fastboot and adb .exe's back to their original names w/o the -windows suffix).
factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: or use the toolkit that sarni84 mentioned below - if your not comfortable manually doing it via a command prompt.
Yes I would flash a stock image with the toolkit it should wipe everything it will suck but it seems like your problems are deeper. Then after flashing the 4.0.4 IMG use efrants guide to flash to new 4.1.1

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus from the UK, the day i got it i flashed the factory 4.0.2 image from google to bring it to clean yakju.
When i download a ROM or anything firstly i check the md5, assuming thats all good i follow the install proceedure to the letter (wipe data, cache, dalvik if needed) I have flashed many ROMs on my Nexus as well as my previous S2 and Nexus S before that.
I have literally tried everything from clean install of factory 4.0.4 yakju and takju, lock and unlock boot loader, root and un-root, OTA and custom ROMs but nothing seems to work.
I have even tried restoring a friends nandroid of stock 4.1.1 android via CWM just to see if that works but nothing.
well... so why not stay with 4.0.4 yakju and just wait for stock ROM 4.1.1 yakju to be available and/or working OTA update? why going through all this hassle?

Sounds like something is broken or your nand flash is corrupted or bad. Probably best to RMA it considering you've tried everything that should have restored it if it wasn't broken.

I got the official OTA from our friends at google (i didn't do the framework services clear) it just came through.
i got the whole 145mb download, it verifies, reboots to the android guy with his front open, loads fine then on reboot, nothing, just the big X boot screen looping out.
It was after that didn't work that i explored the ROM route with the same results
I installed Jelly Belly v5.3 after super wiping, with both the JB boot loader and Trinity kernel. Since then I can't get ADB to connect nor get it to charge without plugging my charger in like 10 times, even then it keeps acting like its charging when its not.
I tried reflashing the original 4.0.4 backup, stock boot loader, you name it. I just don't understand what happened or how to fix it. Weirder still on the stock I can't make calls now. I'm so confused, anyone please help if you can.

Are you positive you flashed the correct rom version for your phone?
I suggest flashing the factory images for your device to return to stock, and see if the issues persist from a complete stock out-of-box experience.

I decided to install Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus. I already rooted it and downloaded rom manager + titanium back-up. I watched a tutorial on how to download and install roms using rom manager and everything seemed to go as planned and Cyanogen 9 was installed. The phone automatically rebooted and the boot animation the Cyanogen started. But after a half hour I realized it was stuck. So I tried to go into recovery mode to restore my backup (of the stock) but when I went there, the phone automatically turn off. It's not when I click, it's just after a certain period. It even turned off while restoring. To make things worse, when I turn it on now, it's stuck on the Google logo with the unlocked slot at the bottom. I hope you guys can help me because I'm starting to freak out.

was it a nexus? maybe/probably not, but if it was, you should have used fastboot. it's officially supported by GOOGLE. if you want to flash a factory image, they tell you to use fastboot. why would we use anything else? a leak? that the community barely really knows anything about?
i'd rather use Heimdall!! (not sure i9250 is supported though.)

Ok this is weird and maybe this phone just went bad but I was using the phone and I went open the xfinity app and the phone rebooted, now no matter what I wipe and reflash rom's etc it still boot loops. I can get to the start button when you enter your information but I can't get past the sign in just restarts and these are on roms that have worked for me in the past no issues. And it happens with any rom I try so far. I have a sprint galaxy nexus and I'm afraid nothing else can really be done. I have formatted everything only thing I have not done is flash to stock
