[Q] From CWM - Is it a good idea to flash a kernel along with ROM?

In CWM, I just flashed the AOKP Milestone 3 ROM, then the Gapps, and then the Franco kernel without rebooting.
Now I reboot and it seems to be stuck in the "Team Kang" boot animation forever.
I checked my MD5s and they were all good.
Did I do something wrong?

Hey I always do rom, gapps reboot sign in set things up then reboot flash the kernel. Never had bootloop. I'd say reflash dude.

Reflash using a stock ROM or Kernel or reflash something else?

Reflash the AOKP M3 rom and gapps. Then start the phone, set up your stuff and then reboot and do the kernel. I always wipe davlik when flashing a kernel too.

How would I unflash the kernel before reflashing the rom and gapps?

You don't need to. The AOKP romw will load it's own in built kernel. You getting sorted?

I the last 10x or so, have installed the ROM, GAPPS and a kernel all at the same time with no ill effects.

I wipe data and dalvik then just install rom, gapps, and kernel all in one go every time.. no ill effects

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?

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.

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?

Gaps not working on 4.1.1

Every time I try a custom cm10 Rom or even the new preview of aokp when I flash gaps when I reboot it just reboot back into recovery. I have tried flashing right after flashing the Rom, I have tried flashing Rom first then reboot into Rom then back into recovery, I have tried wiping cache, nothing every time I flash gaps I can't get back into the Rom

I'm thinking it's the recovery I'm using clock work mod 6.0.0.1 touch I will update later and try it out let you guys know
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

derp nvm

I'm having the same problem with TeamEOS ROM. I tried everything above too. I'm using ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0.

I'm having the same issue.
Whenever I flash a ROM without Gapps bundled, then flash the Gapps package, I just boot back into CWM. I tried the two Gapps packages for Jellybean I could find, neither worked. Another issue I found is if I flash some modded Gapps packages (such as the one for the Team Bamf JB ROM or others) I can boot, but the apps aren't installed, and some functions might actually be missing after the flash.
I tried this with both JB ROMS and ICS ROMS, same story with both.
Another interesting thing, when I try to flash the MrMaddon Galaxy SIII Add-On pack, it installs the TW5 launcher, it themes everything, but none of the sounds, apps, or widgets are installed. This is for both the JB Light version, and the full version for ICS.
Flash a ROM with the Gapps already installed, everything is fine and dandy. I really want to use Paranoid Android, and the other amazing ROMs available for my GNex, but I don't want to have to do without Google Now and Google Voice. I've grown partial to them lol.

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.

[Q] Nothing but stock rom works for me anymore.(Description in thread/message)

So I was on CM10 and decided to update to the new CM10.1. My smart self decided to let the updater do it's thing and not wipe anything. I got to 10.1 without any visible problems. Then decided to wipe everything as to avoid possible future problems. After wiping, all my gapps just broke and I had to reflash them. Thats when the rest of the problems started. The gapps were still broken so I decided to wipe again and reflash both the rom and gapps. At this point I dont remember exactly but either CWM was freezing at every point or i was stuck in boot animation.
Fast forward a few days later I had to ODIN flash stock rom and trying to flash anything else just keeps me stuck in boot animation.
(Note: any CM backups keep me stuck in boot animation too)
So any help is appreciated ive tried just about everything. I also get a lot of cache errors that Im not sure of in CWM.
Sorry about the long post im fairly new to the site so i didnt know how much detail to include.

You should try TWRP and see if it works.

Ill try it and reply with results tomorrow

What cwmr version are you on? If you still using the 5.x.x.x that's why(have to use the darkside wipe script). Update your recovery through ROM mananger to the latest 6.0.2.9 or to twrp through goo manager.
