Try booting back into recovery and wiping data and cache and reinstalling your ROM, if best try doing a restore from a backup.

everything should be fine now thank you !

This happened once to me. What saved me was the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh.
I just allowed it to flash the image that I already had downloaded (but forgot to put in phone). Give that a shot if nothing else is working for you. Luckily I had fastboot drivers already installed.

What did you try to install that has made your phone bootloop? Need some details,What ROM are you running ?If you are in recovery but have not made a nandroid backup then you will have to reflash a ROM as you have no way to restore the ROM back to when it was working

If your phone will not boot and with no backup then you could try re-flashing your ROM from recovery,wipe the cache and dalvik then re-flash your ROM,if that works then reboot into recovery and do a backup, that way if you break things again then you can restore the phone to a working state.

Yeah But This Is The Problem When You go into bootloader select recovery same thing happens freezes, go into factory reset same thing happens
Sorry what do you mean by freezes?Talk me through it,From bootloader you scroll down and select recovery,then you go to factory reset,what happens?
The bootloader/recovery is independent of the ROM so if you broke your ROM by trying to install the ICS Launcher it can't affect bootloader/recovery,how did you try and install the launcher,be specific please.

I Just Installed the regular old way android market install FREEZE. when you do a recovery it either shows the boot screen frozen or a phone with a red triangle
Will not reply to you again tonight so dont wait for reply I will survive with my reliable nokia tomorrow Night
Sorry just so I understand correctly, when you go to bootloader (switch phone off and press and hold vol - and power button) scroll down (use volume -) and power button to select recovery it freezes? I am running out of ideas
Click recovery trys to boot loops for a while then freezes on htc boot screen before showing the quietly brilliant
htc white screen

[SOLVED]My Nexus is stuck in a bootloop

So yea im stuck in a bootloop. My phone all of a sudden rebooted itself and it never went past the boot animation. I am able to boot into recovery and fastboot. When i do a factory reset and system restore then flash a the rom all over again it still bootloops. I dont have a nandroid backup cuz they got deleted from my sd car. Is there anyway to flash it to complete stock through recovery or use adb through recovery flash to stock. please any help would be much appreciated.

I used toolkit 5.4 and it worked like a charm Thanks for the advice and assurance buddy, i did panic a bit though. This never happened to me in all my time flashing, well ive gotten bootloops but a quick full wipe and reflash of the rom fixed it, not this time. Thanks again.

Find the yakju Odin file on xda or Google it. Extract and run the exe. Put your phone in download mode (volume down + power) plug it in via USB and wait till it restores your phone. You will have a factory restored 4.0.1 Galaxy Nexus after. Once your phone is restored, you should be prompted for 4.0.2 OTA update.

[Q] Note 2 Stuck in boot loop [No Root/Custom Anything]

Had my note 2 for several months now on Wind Mobile. I woke up this morning and it was working fine, went out for a walk and 5 minutes into the walk my phone was stuck in the boot loop. I never flashed or rooted my phone. Its stuck where the samsung logo comes up and the blue and purple halo circles it. I have access to both the volume up+home button+power button menu, aswell and the volume down menu. I already cleared the system cache and was wondering what to do?
If possible i would like to be able to extract my data before doing a factory reset. Any help would be great!
It doesnt seem that wiping data will fix your problem it looks like system corruption try flashing new software

You just said in your first post that you weren't S-Off. Anyway, I suggest finding an RUU for your correct M8 variant and flashing it via fastboot or the external sdcard method. There is a high chance that the internal sdcard will be wiped so be warned.

[Q] Shut down during download mode: phone bricked?

Hi everybody,
some time ago I flashed my ace II with cm 11 build 20141118 by ace2nutzer. Installation was ok and it worked properly. However, it had some minor problems, one of which was that battery wouldn't charge while booting the phone. One day it happened that my phone arrived at 0% battery and shut down. I couldn't find a way to turn it on because of the too-low battery, so I tried to see if during recovery mode maybe the battery would charge... but, instead of going to recovery, I pressed the wrong buttons and entered into download mode. There, the phone wouldn't charge and at one point it shut down. After some days I discovered that I could charge the phone by simply connecting it to a computer... But now it won't start. It gets bootloop (more precisely it keeps restarting) at the samsung logo. I tried to reflash the build I had before, but I keep getting status 7 error (even after deleting asserts).
Soo, is my phone bricked? Is there anything I could do to make it work?
Thanks to anyone that will help me
tl;dr: phone shut down during download mode, now bootloops and gives Status 7 error (even after deleting asserts) while trying to flash the same ROM it had before.
Anyone?
I forgot to say that I had a nandroid backup, but I can't restore it: it says "error while restoring /system!".
