[Q] Accidently OTA Updated my Rooted GNex CDMA Now it Just Bootloops - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was running AOKP Jellybean and rebooted my phone which updated the OTA Jellybean update I was unaware of (not like Verizon ever gets things done) and now it bootloops. I can access recovery, ODIN, and have tried my back ups which none of them can load /data, and have tried to simply reflash the rom, which bootloops with the roms boot animation, and have tried wiping data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and nothing worked. Is there anyway to wipe it completely and start from there, or at least get a backup working/computer-saved backup on there? It appears I can't access the phone from my computer because I last used fast charge and now the computer doesn't know it's plugged in. Am I screwed?

I second the factory reset.
Do you have access to Fastboot? If so, why not push commands to the phone and factory reset it and start fresh?

Sorry for the late reply, it still was bootlooping after a factory reset, I just got a replacement GNex. Thanks to those who replied though.

Q: Why am I receiving multiple error messages?

Hi
I am new to the forum, and being the noob that I am would like to ask some help from you guys. I have been receiving multiple error messages ranging from "Unfortunatley, Camera has stopped" to android.process.media has stopped as well. I have tried installing different roms, kernels, fixing the permissions all the way to completely formatting the SD card and using Odin to install the stock ROM again. I am at a loss as to what to do, any help at all would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

When I installed the Stock ROM again using Odin, I performed all the steps you listed above before I installed the Rom in a last ditch effort, I will try it again. Thanks for the information, but are there any other suggestions?
I had this problem using tge beats installer from the market. I had to go back to stock and reroot. Doing a factory reset help. If that fails, i noticed uninstalling the failed apps and reinstalling worked but of course doing that for stock apps isnt as easy

Just to a factory reset and then us Odin and if you are using apps that are backed up don't just redownload from play that could be the problem

Cannot Disable Encryption

Hey guys I was running a nightly of CM 10.1 and enabled full disk encryption with a pin. I decided to rebuild my phone so I flashed a new ROM through CWM however when it booted it was asking for the encryption password. The pin that I used previously won't work. I've tried re-flashing, factory reset (CWM), and ODINing the phone back to stock. None of which removes the encryption. Wtf do I do?
Only way I know of -- factory reset after booting up

I can't factory reset from the ROM now because it won't accept my PIN.

From everything I've read and seen, once a device is encrypted the only way out is to ODIN back to the stock ROM.

Just boot into recovery like twrp and wipe data, the button in the bottom left of the screen in the wipe menu

Nope. I did it when on stock. A simple factory reset set it right.

Yes however as he stated already he factory reset in CWM and it did nothing. On top of that since he flashed a new ROM the device no longer accepts his PIN once booted so factory reset from within the settings menu is a no go. Thus ODINing back to stock is the only way.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 on AT&T
This is really weird guys.. I ODIN'd the SECOND time to 4.0.4 and it fixed it. When I odin'd stock 4.1.1 it was still encrypted.....
Old thread but I restored stock recovery and that cleared encryption. Could not clear encryption with clockwork, philz, or TWRP.

HELP! TouchWiz Home has stopped

I tried flashing and installing the gs4 touchwiz home but now it loaded up and now touchwiz has stooped and there is no home screen. I dont know how to get out of it.
Can I get out of it by flashing stock Odin? Where are those links

Flashing stock would definitely get you out of it.
Simple search for stock rooted Roms will give you what you need.

NP.
You lose custom recovery flashing those files. You retain root though so you can just reflash a recovery and than wipe if you didn't want to wipe through stock recovery.

[Q] Am I trapped AOSP?

I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

sounds like you're having similar issues as bmp7777, have you made any changes to your storage? as in the whole sdcard0 stuff? are your backups stored in sdcard0 ? when you flash a aosp rom it changes the way your storage is set up make sure you put your important stuff on sdcard0

Why not just completely erase data? Including data media? That will solve all problems.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

Worse than I've done before. Whatever I did I got black screen no matter what volume rocker power button combo I use. I have lgnpst installed on my computer but it doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. Not sure what to do with that. Everything worked well when I rooted.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.

[Q] N7 bootlooping on custom rom?

Okay, so I bought the n7 v2, went home, unlocked the boot loader, and rooted it. I've tried to flash versions of vanir I built my self, the betas that are posted here on the forums, and I also tried carbon ROM. Every time I flash a ROM, my device bootloops, so I just hold power + vol down to get to boot loader mode so I can boot into recovery. Any fix for this? I've tried flashing a stock IMG and re rooting to. No luck.

With four different ROMs, 2 transfered via adb and 2 from different download hosts, I doubt its a bad download.

you should've mentioned that in your original post. id try to reflash to complete stock and start all over. it seems like something you modified in the first rom you've flash isn't being removed from another flash,so going back to stock,you can be sure everything is working first.hope this helps

I did mention that in the original post, as well as the fact that ive flashed stock a few times already.
Did you boot into the tablet after unlocking the bootloader but before rooting it? If not, try formatting data (not factory resetting) in recovery. I had the same experience and my sdcard never got populated with the default folders and files, remaining at 0MB. Apparently, symptoms of this problem include being unable to factory reset from recovery, being stuck on the splash screen, and having TWRP demand a password.

I'll try that, maybe its because I restore my data after I wipe it that this happens. Another thing I've found is that after I flash and the restore my system partition that I backed up, su says that no subject binary was found, even though I've flashed it a million times. And some root apps don't work because it says no binary is found.
