Hello Pals,
Recently I've been finding that when rebooting, my EVO hangs at the white boot screen. The only fix I've found for it is to pull the battery, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, then restart. Anyone have an idea of what I cocked up?
Yes, I wipe EVERYTHING upon installing any rom. I've tried Fresh, Cyanogen, Mik, Myn's rom. All of them do this, so obviously there is something wrong with the phone. I think I boogered it up with all the ROM flashing.

Do you keep flashing the same kernel or do you just use the kernel that comes with whatever ROM?

I've done both, but now using the kernel that comes preinstalled with whatever ROM i'm using. I haven't had this issue at all since yesterday. It's a launch day HW#2 EVO if it helps.

When you wipe "everything" what does it mean you actually wipe?
If it doesn't include [system/boot] use this: Calkulin's Format all

Hmm...
Maybe the next step would be to wipe the SD card and then wipe the phone entirely and then reflash your ROM and kernel.
There are files on the SD card that could cause issues [in android secure and sdext]

well, after a couple days of no issues the problem is back. i went ahead and flashed the format all zip, then cm again, turned off the phone while at work, and boom. stuck on the white evo screen.
I have this same issue. The only way I can get it passed the white htc EVO 4G screen is to pull the battery. It's so annoying. Were you able to resolve this?
Hey Guys
I every time wipe my nexus when i update to a newer version of franco kernel
im getting tired of that is it really necessary to wipe your whole phone?
Thank you!
Edit: corrected by Josh.
Still can't hurt to do it.
Firstly your whole phone is never wiped through recovery, your media card isn't touched.
And no you don't have to wipe anything except maybe cache when you switch kernels.
Damn that's very tiring
I will wait then for a stable kernel from him cuz he's now updating every 2 days
Thanks man!
Edit: Realy can i just wipe cash...? not factory reset and reinstall roms radio and all that again?

I don't know why (especially today) people keep thinking/reading somewhere that they need to wipe anything when updating/flashing kernel.
Franco himself said he doesn't wipe.
To reiterate, you do not need to wipe anything when flashing updates of the same kernel.
Heh....do i need to wipe
Made me laugh when i saw the title lol

Hi there everyone
have a weird issue... tried searching and nothing
ok, so i installed the first ROM of bigxie . everything went fine and nothing went wrong in any ways...
i then tried to install v2 of the ROM that came out a couple days later... and it wouldnt boot past the google writing screen... no matter what i do it wont boot into android... i have dont the wipe data, cache, dalvik etc... this isnt my first rodeo lol
i have tried flashing other jelly bean ROMs an nothing... i can restore to my previous ICS perfectly fine but nothing will load JB...
i have tried to restore with Odin but now in bootloader windows wont detect the phone at all... i have kies installed and have separately installed the drivers, nothing is making Odin see the devices, so i cant even use odin to restore to a factory image...
i have the latest bootloader installed and have the latest touch CWM installed as well... currently running the latest kernel from franco and using aokp 40
this is not making any sense to me and i need help to get my device back to JB, as ICS i cant stand anymore LOL
thanks for you help in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
thank you for the link that helped me get the drivers working properly again.
my issue is i cannot load any JB roms at all, via CWM or otherwise... however i can still load ICS roms without issues...
and i still cant get odin to see my device at all, yet galaxy nexus toolkit works fine! ugh... lol i cannot load any OEM images at all... even the nexus toolkit doesnt want to load a OEM image to the device....
thanks again!

@ c_86 and kingviper10: not sure what you guys are trying to do, but instructions on how to flash stock images are in the first post of the thread I linked to, and instructions for JB are in the second post. Not sure why you are talking about Odin or toolkits...

What is "the fix" you are talking about?
And use this recovery, not the one you are using. (The touch one is not entirely stable, even koush said so, so I have no idea why people insist on using it...)
Did you fix permissions after flashing the ROM and fix?
Try factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, wipe system, then install ROM and fix, then fix permissions, then reboot.

Thanks I'll try that recovery and see if that works. I'll report back later.
As for fixing permissions. Yes I've tried that as well. No luck either.

This makes more sense. And yeah, try the recovery image efrant kindly linked you to, i didnt have any issues with twrp 2.1.2 either, if i may.

ooook... no go on that recovery image either...
i flashed the 5.5.0.2 recovery and same issue... will not boot past the google writing screen... i really dont know what else to do...
anyone?!
Need some quick help here. I unlocked and rooted my gnex. I have done this several times before and with all my other android phones. As soon as I rooted it, I flashed the new 4.2 gapps package. Upon booting, the launcher would not respond and thusly I could not access my home screen or app drawer. I had to open my apps from the google now target on the lock screen. As I read more, I heard not to flash the 4.2 gapps unless you have flashed another rom.
So I went to chrome, dl'ed the cm10 m2 zip, went into rom manager and flashed the cm10 and 4.2 gapps again. Now upon booting, the cyanogenmod icon is bootlooping, and has been for the last ten minutes. I went back into recovery and tried the process again, this time wiping the cache and dalvik, to no avail...same bootloop.
Please help!
Install a stock ROM using fastboot.....
Beamed from my Maguro.
If it helps at all, it's a Verizon galaxy nexus. Please help! Also if it is at all possible to save pictures, please let me know. Wiping would be my last resort.
Thanks

Is there a way of flashing stock that does not require a wipe?
Also I did make a nandroid of the stock rooted rom, but for some reason, after flashing that, the cyanogenmod logo stilled appeared at boot...

U need to wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system(u need to do this every time before flashing a ROM) , do it like 3 times and re-flash ROM. Don't worry about ur photos, they r in the internal memory and u don't need to wipe it, so u won't lose them.

Which file did you flash? You could've used the 'maguro' (GSM) one instead of the 'toro' (Verizon) one

When you factory reset, the entire phone is wiped, no? And how can I factory reset from recovery?

Nope. Factory Reset doesn't wipe the internal SD. It should be located inside the wiping options(I'm using TWRP recovery). Anyways u should wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before flashing a ROM not just factory reset.

Got home from class, wiped cahce, dalvik, and data, flashed cm10 m2 and gapps 4.2. Everythings great and I still have my pics. Thanks guys
It was just taking that plunge of wiping data that was freaking me out. I had some pics that i absolutely could not lose, but after reading on it more, it makes sense that the wipe would not format the internal sd.
Thanks again!

Hey fellow gnex community! I recently left stock rom due to freezes and random reboots. I've tried out various rom and kernel combinations this week such as xylon/AK, Purity/AK, AOKP/franco/lean, CM10.1/trinity/franco, Rasbean/trinity, PA/lean/franco/trinity/AK and Xenon.
The problem is they all freeze and reboot constantly after 2 minutes of use. I never changed the kernel settings and this is only happening on 4.2.1 roms. My favorite rom/kernel combo would be purity/AK, Xylon/AK but they freeze, wifi disconnects and never connects back and reboots constantly.
So the question is why is this happening to my phone recently and are there specific kernel settings that will stabilize the roms or is it just my phone?
Any help would be great,
thanks.
I haven't had that problem before, and I have flashed several roms (though not a custom kernel in a while)
Faulty hardware perhaps?

but this never happened on 4.1, 4.0.4 etc. That's what's worrying me.
4.2.1 isn't exactly highly regarded for its stability....
I reccomend going back to a good 4.1.2 rom. You aret missing anything anyway

I would do a full wipe and fastboot flash the stock images from Google to see if this helps. Mind you, your internal memory will be wiped so back up all of your photos etc..

but I heard people change the kernel settings and the phone will become smoother/stable? I really love some of the features from 4.2.1 that's the reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to 4.1.2
Try a full wipe, and fast boot a stock image on and proceed from there.

I've done that twice already and usually wipe after it freezes but then still happens
Are you sure you know how to flash? Not trying to offend but it saves a lot of time if your a noob.
I currently wipe dalvik cache 3x, cache 3x, and factory reset 3x in twrp. I read somewhere its safer to wipe like this or use super wipe scripts or w.e
I am running the latest rasbeanjelly with latest rasbean gapps and latest lean kernel. I haven't had any resets and haven't tweak anything. May I also add that when I do get errors with roms normally when I flash extra mods I always go back to recovery and hit fix permissions. Idk why but it does solve some issues.
Good luck
Sent from a slice of Galaxy Nexus with some Rasbean Jelly!
lol. Ya I've been flashing roms for like a year and it's only recently these issues are popping up. I do pretty much what everyone does - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps and flash kernel. I never use mods so nothing to worry about there.
Try flashing rom and gapps only without a custom kernel.
If you've fully formatted your drive, have updated recovery, and are positive you have good downloads then your problem is most likely hardware related
Try the kernel cleaner script before flashing/changing between kernels.
It's a cwm flashable .zip.
Alright will do as suggested
How about fastboot flashing the stock rom's .img-es? (Galaxy Nexus ToolKit is the easiest way to do it)

Alright so it seems like the rom HumberOS with built in kernel did the job. Been using the phone for about 4 hours non stop and no freezes or reboots so far. Finally something stable for my phone! Thanks for the help everyone!
update: After a day without any hiccups on the humber os rom, my phone finally froze and rebooted. Since I was using cwm, I decided to see if twrp would solve the problem. I restored my phone to stock and started from scratch by installing twrp. Then I decided to give PA a try and to my surprise no reboots or freezes at all but will have to wait a day to confirm.

You did restore the factory images by running the update script included in the package right? This will make sure all data is up to date.. Fastboot erase all partitions first as well..

yup did all that and everything seems to be going fine so far
So... what would be causing the problem you think?
You installed TWRP and PA both at the same as I can read in the previous posts?
So that way we will never know if it's a recovery problem, or ROM problem...
Well, as long as your device doesn't freeze and/or reboot we should be happy I guess.
