Stuck on Google splash screen..getting desperate.

First off I have a Verizon gnex. My phone was all fine and dandy running CM9 on ICS, then I installed CM10 and it was working great until I would get weird bootloops at the Google screen. Eventually it would boot, I guess it's some sort of file check or something? But it was really making me mad.
I tried wiping everything and installing CM9 again but it was still stuck and when it eventually booted, nothing was changed! I still had CM10 and all my apps/data were there. Weird I thought, so I just kept using my phone trying to find a fix and trying to not let it die.
I did a factory reset and it seemed to make the process of getting passed the Google screen faster up until last night...it died and did not want to get past the Google screen. So I ran Odin with all the factory images and what not and thought it was going to work..but nope same problem.
Also my recovery will not work and I tried to flash it again but if I hold up and down volume and power and choose recovery it will just restart and be back at the google screen.
PLEASE HELP! I just shelled out 280 bucks for this used because I didn't want to lose my unlimited data and now I can't even use my phone!

I've waited up to 15 min sometimes on JB. Just be patient. Flash the Verizon JB boot loader if you haven't already. It's here on XDA somewhere

I've waited way more than 15 minutes..it will just keep going and going until it freezes or dies.
edit: also I'm not even on JB, stock ICS.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Anyone have suggestions on what I should do?

Flash the stock images using fastboot instead of ODIN.
See if that will work.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I tried that before Odin, thanks though.

Well i just went back and tried that again and it finally let me boot but it soon went back into bootloop madness. I did it again and it booted up gain but of course went back into the loop. Now injust tried it again and that wont even work now..

I have the same problem, but when using JB ROMs...

Followed that thread, but didnt really see exactly how you went about fixing it. What method is in the exe you created?

Do you have a VZW Nexus (toro)? I can post my EXE if so.

Hard Bricked Sprint Galaxy s3 Need Help!!!

So I managed to Brick my sprint version of the galaxy s3. Like an idiot I overlooked a rom and used the i9300 version instead of my model version(nood move). Anyway I can't turn my phone on AT ALL!! I tried putting in into download and recovery and I get nothing. How do i fix this?? Anyone???

If u can't get download mode or recovery than there is no help. Maybe a jig if u have one but I'm not sure if they even work for the s3.

Ahhhh shyt! These new phones are harder to fix now, never had this problem before, but its like if mess up once with these new galaxy s3's thats it, whats the point of flashing roms when you chance it every time. Thanks though man looks like I'll have to call to get a new one.

I thought I hard brick my sons phone and here is what I did: Worth a try at this point.
Take battery out and do NOT put it back in. Take SD card out. Plug phone into computer and attempt download mode. Mine booted right up with this method when it wouldn't with anything else. If it does flash the stock rom through Odin right away and you are good to go.

I just tried that and no luck. sounds like u soft bricked it. I can't get it to turn on period. The only thing that turns on is the lcd light but only for 10 seconds then shuts off. Thanks for the help though!

If your getting a light, even temporary, I'd boot a tinycore Linux and see what mode its in for that 10 seconds

Do you get a screen at all? You say you're softbricked but you also say it doesnt start up. If you are really just softbricked then you have a screen too, in which case you'll just look like an ass going to sprint because they will see you fuucked with it and laugh you out the store. If you are hardbricked then you would have just a black screen. If you have a screen, do some reading like you shouldve done in the first place and fix it yourself.

Mine was hard bricked and it couldn't be turned on period. If yours is soft brick then you should be able to get it back into download mode but you can't get it to turn on at all, then you have a hard brick. I went to sprint and got a brand new one because they couldn't fix it either. So unless they can fix it you will have to get a new one!

Also Hard Bricked.

On the advice for taking the battery out and trying to get into download mode, I tried and now without my battery in I get my red light but still no luck on download mode. any advice like "tinylinux". Sorry not a noob but not a pro so whereever that middle area is is where I stand. Thanks in advance.

I think you may have flashed your Sprint GS3 with an international GSM GS3 ROM. I think you are not going to be able to recover from that.

[Q] Problem with Avatar Rom (Bootloop)

Hey guys, today I decided to root my Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.2.2, so far so good. The root is done and I wanted to install the Avatar ROM but there's a problem. After the installation my Nexus reboots and the Avatar Bootlogo appears but nothing happens (I think it was a bootloop). I waited about 15 minutes and then I decided to restore my backuped Stock ROM but it would be nice to try something new, the Avatar ROM. Can anyboby help me please? Don't know what went wrong and I really need help from you :s. Thanks a lot.

Sounds like someone didn't follow directions and do a factory reset from recovery

Ah... No, I did follow them and I got same result on KitKat Avatar.

are you sure
Hmm waiting 15 main cannot be called boot looping because if it was a boot loop then it can be easily spotted since galaxy nexus dims the brightness few seconds before completion of boot
Sometimes it takes more time then you think

Sm-T800 stuck at Samsung logo start screen

I'll preface this by saying I have searched the forums here and after reading a few threads about similar problems to mine, I haven't been able to find a solution. So, I'm making a new thread in the hopes you fine individuals will be able to help me troubleshoot what's going on.
The problem:
I was running CM 12 on my T800 for a while, but after some bugs and random reboot issues, I decided to give the new IronRom a shot. I went ahead and flashed it through TWRP and everything went swimmingly. I was able to set up the tablet and use it for a while. However, two days ago when my wife was using the tablet, it randomly restarted while she was using it and then froze at the Samsung startup screen. It would show the screen, then blink to black like the tablet had restarted, show the screen and repeat this about 4 or 5 times before freezing at the Samsung start screen.
What I have tried doing:
First thing I tried was home+power+volume up to get into TWRP and do a wipe and start over. But I cannot get into recovery. Once the tablet is frozen the only way to get it to restart is with a hard reset power+volume down, nothing done after that seems to make any difference.
Second, I realized I could still get into download mode, so using ODIN I tried going back to stock. Flashed the stock rom for my region but when Odin is done with the initial flash, it reboots the tablet and everything is the same. Frozen at the Samsung screen.
I've tried flash TWRP again, but once the tablet reboots after download mode, it just freezes at the Samsung screen.
Any suggestions at this point would be welcome.

last time i had this same trouble but on my T705. I had to wipe everything including the internal storage. only then the device boot properly.

I would love to be able to, but as I said in the original post, I can't get the tablet to enter recovery, so I can't wipe it. The only thing I can get it to do is boot into download mode.

Hi, sorry to be that guy who bumps threads, but I'm still sitting here with a tablet I can't use and no more ideas on what I can do to fix it. I'd really appreciate any ideas at this point. Thanks again!

I had similar experience, and even started downloading official samsung image, with odin etc. However it looks like I was able to enter recovery if rebooting using the following sequence:
- power-vol_down-home combination until the screen goes black
- moving finger from volume-down to volume-up
-> waiting a few seconds (less than 10) until recovery screen shows up.
Then I just reinstalled the good old cm 12.1 (instead of the failing lineageos 14.1), and then all happy again.

[FIRMWARE] Help! Bootlooping on Optimizing Apps after flashing stock firmware

Hello!
I purchased a Galaxy S6 two days ago and have yet to really use it...
I wanted to have a fully fresh phone so i flashed the latest firmware available to me (USA, Sprint, sm-g920p, zerofltespr, QB1)
Everything flashed as normal (not my first S6, I'm familiar with ODIN) but upon booting up the first time it goes to a blue screen that says initializing update.. then the progress bar goes to 32% and then says erasing.. then it reboots and i get to optimizing apps (starts at some random number 8 of 33, 13of 33, 12 of 33, etc.) and then reboots and goes back to optimizing apps again... it's maddening!!!
I've tried at least 5 different firmwares, all with the same result. Always to 32% then bootloop on optimizing apps
I've tried using the PIT file for my phone along with flashing the firmwares, same result
When i try to enter recovery to wipe cache or factory reset, i get the blue screen that says initializing update then i get some yellow exclamtion warning for a second and i get to recovery... i wipe cache, reboot... same boot loop result
Back to recovery, factory reset, reboot... same boot loop result trying to optimize apps.
I've tried adb sideloading a couple different ROMS but those just bootloop at the Galaxy S6 logo splash screen.
I've run out of ideas for what to do to fix this.. every great once in awhile ill get to the welcome screen and itll get to Setting up your device for first time use... then itll just reboot and go right back to that screen... i havent been passed that once...
Please any ideas would really be great. Thanks

If you get this going, please send me (or post here via file attach) the file: /proc/last_kmsg -- you need to be rooted to get that so hopefully you are. To get this right, you need to copy that file to /sdcard (or somewhere there) and only on the first successful boot.
I want to see what is complaining so I can (hopefully) write a fix for future sufferers that won't require the reboot til dead game.
