I brought my Nexus Prime from Korea last month.
A few hours ago I was listening to music on my phone when it rebooted. After that it came back on for roughly 10 seconds before rebooting again.
I uninstalled a game from my phone roughly 30 minutes before this error happened.
I cannot use my phone now, I get a few seconds of use out of it before its stuck in a continuous reboot cycle.
I have tried letting it cool down (it was a hot day), removing the simcard and changing batteries. Not sure what else I can do with only a few seconds of use.
Model number - SHW-M420S
Is anyone able to help me get out of this reboot cycle?
Try to back up important things and do factory reset. Is your phone rooted? CWM recovery installed? If so, before doing factory restore you could try wiping cache/dalvik cache first.

Luckily its still a new phone, so there isn't much on it.
The phone is rooted in that I cannot access it in any way. Even connecting to a computer is useless as its only on for a few seconds before it reboots itself.
CWM recovery isn't installed, will be when the phone is working again though!
Is there a way to wipe the cache/dalvik cache or factory reset while the phone is off?
fastboot will allow you to erase data,userdata, as well as flash a custom recovery like cwm or a full rom.

edit: boot your device with POWER+VOLUP+VOLDOWN into fastboot. search google and/or xda for some fastboot tutorials.
I had this problem awhile back. It was a bum phone with hardware issue. I had to exchange it. Yours may be in the same boat.
I will try a fastboot later today and let you know the outcome, thank you.
If all else fails I'll send it back to Korea for new hardware I guess.
I ran into this problem a while ago. I had to restore the phone to stock using the image from Google. Haven't had a problem since
My nexus is stuck on the google boot loop since this morning, i am on stock firmware no root or no nothing, can someone suggest me how can i fix this issue. i have mac and does not have access to any windows machine so i will be greatful if the suggestions will be accordingly for mac
switch off your phone . if you cant switch off the phone then take the battery out and put it back in. Press the volume up and down key along with the power key . this will take you into the bootloader. press the volume down button and navigate to the recovery section. press the power button . this will take you to the default recovery on your phone.
At that time you will see an android robot with an exclamation mark. press the volume up and down key along with the power once again. you should now see the option to update your phone , wipe/reset options. wipe the phone and reboot it . you should be ok after that.
I had the same problem with my gsm gnexus.
Hopefully factory reset using recovery works as krunal1981 suggested. If it doesn't then you will have to use Odin or Heimdall for Mac and preform a full restore. If you have a warranty and the first doesn't work, take it back to Verizon and tell them that your phone isn't booting anymore and they'll replace it.

Thanks Much this solved all my problems with the phone as of now, wonder what caused the phone to go in that ever ending loop
Question: Did wiping from stock recovery also erase your internal storage (/sdcard) or not?
Anyway - I have had this problem too, and all I can say is: A full wipe fixes it but only temporarily. It will happen again most likely. I believe it is a hardware problem with the internal memory. Next time it happens you should seek a warranty replacement.
when i do this all i get is the droid robot with an exclamation mark. my phone seems to go crazy at moments just keeps power cycling and gets soooooo hot and verizon just keeps trying to give my refurbed ones doing the same thing
galaxy nexus stock
Yes.. resetting the phone from the stock recovery erases everything
---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------
when you get the android with an exclamation mark , press all the hardware buttons on your phone i.e volume up , volume down and the power button. this will take you to the stock recovery .
Phone just did this last night, it was on my desk and I saw it reboot to the google logo after which it would continually random reboot.
Did a factory wipe/reset, fixed temporarily, but within minutes, begins to do it again. No sim card in, etc.
Curious if there's been any more progress on this.

It's a hardware defect. The only permanent fix is a warranty replacement.
Fortunately the units with this defect seem to manifest it within the first few months so that the owner can figure it out and get a swap.
So, a bit more information here. I'll get to the result at the end.
I did the factory reset from recovery, that would allow the phone to boot and stay on for a few minutes, I found, after which it would go into boot loops again.
Once the phone was on, I had USB debugging on, and was looking at the phone files when I noticed that folders that were originally on the phone from before the wipe @ recovery would begin to appear, one by one. Complete with all the original files that I had before the factory reset. Once I noticed this, I performed a full wipe from the phone OS (Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Data Reset).
This actually wiped everything, 100%. Made sure not to restore all apps from my google account, either, and guess what, more than 24 hours of not a single reboot. Heavy use for those 24 hours, as well. Been stressing the phone HARD.
Near as I can tell, there was some file or app that for whatever reason probably went rogue and was causing the phone to encounter something which I can only relate as being similar to a core dump/BSOD if you were on linux/windows. I don't study phone OS culture enough (I'm an auto service technician by trade) and haven't compiled a Linux box in over 10 years, so I'm a bit rusty on it, but it honestly doesn't surprise me that this is a definite possibility given all the different hardware configurations and all the different apps that are out there that are expected to work on everything.
So, there you have it, my experience, my fix, and what worked for me (so far). I'll keep everyone posted if I notice any random reboots or any future reboot loops.
I believe it's a hardware level defect with the eMMC. It keeps working fine again until it attempts to write some important file to that exact sector of the internal memory. Then it corrupts again and back to the boot loop.
When I had a defective unit, the longest it'd last before looping again was 20 days. Sometimes as few as five hours. If it spontaneously starts looping again - it's a hardware problem and there's no fix. You need a replacement.

So, here's an update on the situation with my phone.
The update, is that there is no situation. The phone is operating perfectly fine. Had it's OTA update to Jelly Bean a couple/few weeks back now, and is still running smoothly. Moderate to heavy data/wifi usage (past 10 days has seen 700mb wifi traffic, 1.2gb 3G/HSPA traffic) and phone hasn't been rebooted in over 300 hours.
I'll give periodic updates every month or so.
I have a stock GN, not rooted yet. Today my phone automatically shut off and now it starts back up, google logo shows up and all those colors come on for couple of seconds and then the phone reboots itself.
I can press both volume up+volume down + power button and get into a menu which gives me the options of Start, Restart bootloader, recovery mode, and power off. I choose recovery mode but then it goes on to an android sign with exclamation mark. After that I can't seem to get anywhere. I have tried volume up +power, volume down+power, and volume up+down+power but nothing seems to work. It just keeps on rebooting it self.
Any solutions to this problem??
There are two possibilities:
1) Software problem. Since you were stock, this is unlikely.
2) Hardware problem. This is more likely, in my opinion.
If you want to eliminate 1) as a possibility, you can try this:
1. Download the GNex Toolkit here
2. Install it & get the drivers working on your computer (if you haven't already)
3. Unlock the bootloader by selecting Option 3 (it'll wipe your phone)
4. Flash factory stock rom by selecting option 8
5. Try it. If it works, congratulations. (if you want to re-lock your bootloader, use option 11)
If this doesn't work, relock your bootloader and send it in for warrantee. (most likely a hardware problem)

So, I did the above method and after flashing the factory stock rom it won't start up anymore. It doesn't respond to anything at all. It seems I've bricked it
Is there any way to unrbick it now? I'm assuming I can't send it in for warranty either now if it's semi bricked. Unless it's been completely bricked which means there is still a chance of getting a replacement phone.
I have the same prob on rooted SGN
This morning I switched off the airplane mode to be available, system crashed and restarted. And then still the same again - booting / android logo / restart again.. /./. I am using Android Revolution HD 2.1.5, for last month with no problems.
I tried to boot into recovery, then wipe the cache and reflash rom and radio from sd, it is still the same. I can see all the files on my int. sd with no probs.
Please help.
I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue, but I'll wait for another member's opinion before confirming.
Solved!!!
That's what I thought - HW prob, but it seems that luck is on my side, I hope. It helped to get back on stock but with total deletion including int partition
Anyway thanks for support.

Was your phone rooted or bootloader unlocked before the problem occurred?
Anyways I've sent in my phone for warranty, hopefully samsung will fix it.
So my phone company called me today and apparently Samsung told them that it's corrosion(?) problem. When I asked exactly what does that mean they said it's moisture damage or physical damage that probably caused it. But I'm confused how could my phone possibly get moisture damage inside an otter box. I know how delegate these devices are and I know how to take care of them.
Anyhow it'll be $90 to fix it. I had no other option so I asked them to go ahead with the repairs. So frustrated with Samsung to be honest. I never dropped my phone once, never had any water damage, phone was always inside the defender case. And I still have to pay them for fixing my phone even though it's not my fault.
That's quite worrying, I just started having boot loop problems today. I've had the phone since Feb 29th and not had a problem with it yet, but today it started boot looping. I went into recovery and did a factory reset, was alright for a couple of hours then it crashed, started bootlooping again. Running stock 4.0.2 unrooted, I'm wondering if flashing 4.0.4 might help.
I'm in the same boat.... unrooting stock 4.0.1 firmware - canadian version from Negri.
April 23rd my phone crashed and started boot looping. Google logo - reboot - Google logo - reboot
Factory reset worked. I installed less apps than I had before figuring perhaps an app was corrupting something.
Yesterday - it happened again. Phone crashed. Boot loop. Factory Reset worked. Installed even fewer apps.
We'll see what happens this time around. I am hoping it is just a software thing. Hoping 4.0.4 gets pushed soon too.....
I've been having the same issue, plus sometimes my home screen it would lock up and wouldn't let me do anything, so I did a battery pull and it would boot loop for a half hour.
After the 3rd time I just took it to my Verizon wireless store, and showed them the situation and they couldn't figure it out, so their sending me a replacement, which I'm not looking forward too, don't want a semi-used phone....
Via Galaxy Nexus [LTE]
Rebooting Issue Solved.
I was also a troubled Samsung Galaxy Nexus user and my phone kept restarting more than half a dozen times everyday. Most of the times when I switched between two or more applications, or when it was simply idle on my desk.
However, I found a solution (at least in my case). All I did was root my phone, install cwm recovery, and flash a custom rom after wiping cache and factory resetting the phone, It's been about 5 to 6 hours now since I flashed the custom rom and I haven't had a single reboot or hang since.
Others who face this problem, please give it a shot, who knows? You might save your Galaxy Nexus instead of sending it back to get a replacement or spend some money on it for repairs which aren't even required in the first place.
I also had this problem unrooted. I had to give it to Samsung for the warranty
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Trinity Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I got my nexus yesterday, almost immediately after first start it start to install JB from OTA.
I did buy 2000mAh samsung original battery and started straight with it. not even testing with 1750mAh bat.
after installing JB and needed softwares, it started to randomly reboot.
it rebooted even it was just in my pocket.
sometimes when I did do something, display freezed and after about 5sec it rebooted.
Now I did changed to original 1750mAh, and it havent boot at all couple hours, even I did play angrybirds space.
I wont dare to root it before I am very sure problem is with 2000mah battery.

I could be wrong, but have you tried to clean the pin on the battery? Seems like battery and the phone isn't contracting too well
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
Little update, phone did continue rebooting with original 1750mAh battery also.
I did also reset with recovery mode, and after that it did also reboot one time.
like it uses all memory/cpu and when nothing to do reboot (like windows )
I also did flash stock rom with toolkit but no help.
I will test rooting phone and flash another rom, or is it useless ?
after using couple days, not yet rooted.
Phone works and wont reboot even in heavy stress. but sometimes it just reboots by own not a single program in task list.
might reboot right after previous reboot or take hours to reboot.
stupid phone
I have been done some research.
I did one more time reflash google stock with rootkit, and forgot lock phone, it was almost 3 hours by own in wifi, no reboots at all.
when I noticed that I forgot to lock it I rooted whole phone and installed paranoid android 2.13 with CWM.
Now Ive been using 2 hours without any reboot, installing software, setting things up and using apps.
I dont understand at all:silly:
edit: noup, yesterday evening one almost reboot, paranoid android did reset itself but didnt even reset uptime. so I didnt count that normal reboot.
but after wake up this morning, it did reboot once when I put in my pocket, another just lying on table, once activating bluetooth in my car.
going to send it back to seller.
I have a similar issue, although not quite the same. Last night my phone started boot looping - it managed to boot up to the lock screen, and I can use it for about a minute before it dies and then reboots. This continues again and again (I have to pull the battery to quit it).
I have stock JB on my GSM GN, but rooted with an unlocked bootloader / CWM. I restored my old CWM backup, and had the same issue. I also wiped the cache and the dalvik just to see if that helped, but I had the same issue. I then tried to do a factory reset in CWM, but after I did that the boot loop just got to the nexus logo and died, entering a new (slightly shorter) boot loop. I went back into recovery and reflashed my CWM backup, and that at least got me back to booting into android.
I can't understand what's going on - could it be a hardware issue if it will happily stay alive in recovery, but dies after 1-2mins of android?
Thanks for your help. If it is hardware then I hope I can reflash the stock recovery / bootloader and unroot through recovery... the phone doesn't stay on long enough to do it when it's booted into full android!
So tonight out of the blue, my Rogers Galaxy S3 restarted itself. This isn't totally unusual, as sometimes this will happen once or twice a day, but never has it been too bad.
First off, I've been running Cyanogenmod 10.0, and again, has been relatively problem free. The first major issue I had was a week or so ago when I woke up to my phone having seemingly restored it's default settings on its own. Apps and all my other data were intact, but widgets, app settings, etc, were all cleared.
Now tonight, my phone can rarely boot into CM, and when it does, the power menu will appear shortly thereafter before restarting itself once again. If the phone is plugged in, I can't get anything other than the charge indicator to come on the screen for more than a second. The phone also does this when trying to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
I'm at a total loss as to what to do here, so I'm going to be leaving the phone off with the battery out over night. Appreciate any feedback in the meantime.
Also having a similar problem: phone boots up, will barely enter the bootloader/TWRP/boot animation for hyperdrive ROM. Also with rogers. I believe it might be SDS but I need to re install the stock firmware and can barely boot into the bootloader without the phone dying (battery is charged though). Any help greatly appreciated!
EDIT: managed to boot up for long enough to install "eMMC check" and apparently I have a 'sane chip'.
There have been issues with the power button getting stuck. Maybe you have that issue?

Well, after pulling most of my hair out, that does seem to be the issue. Would explain why the power menu would come up the few times it did manage to boot. I managed to get it working for a while, but the button seems to be really delicate since picking my phone up and barely touching it reset it again.
I guess now I need a solution to the power button sticking, but at least it doesn't seem to be SDS.
Okay, that makes sense. When I leave the phone completely stable it's fine.
However, I have tried unrooting and reinstalling stock firmware. However, my system status in bootloader is still custom, when I boot up the rom I still have superuser installed. I tried installing two different stock firmwares for Rogers and the same problem. Any help would be great, I really want to send this in for warranty ASAP.
EDIT: After using ODIN to install stock rom, I still had Superuser. I installed SuperSU and then preformed it'sfull unroot. After that i cleared data and cache from stock recovery and the phone is now at original status and seems to not be randomly rebooting/dying. Weird.
I was just using my phone like normal today opening up the transit app at the bus stop and it randomly froze and restarted. After that, it only shows the initial Google screen and just keeps bootlooping, but never even gets to the part where the OS is loading (with the google animation). It was just on stock 6.0.1, MTC20K I think. Was not rooted. Bootloader was/is unlocked. Secure boot was/is enabled. It won't even go into stock recovery (when I select recovery it immediately goes back to the Google screen and continues as if I had never selected recovery). I have tried manually flashing each piece of the latest factory 7.0.0 build (NRD90S), but even though fastboot says everything was successful, nothing seems to have changed. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Same thing just happened to me. I have no root or anything but it will not boot the OS. I hope there is a fix for the problem because I really want to use the phone.
Same thing just happened to me.

No recovery for you either?
What was the latest Build you had when it was working fine?
To get into the recovery plug the phone into your computer. Go into fastboot (vol down + power) and select the power off option. When it turns off or goes to the charging screen, hold volume up + power to boot to download mode. Once in download mode, turn the phone off by holding vol down + power, then go back into fastboot and you should be able to now access recovery mode. This is what I did, and then flashed back to 6.0.1 and it runs fine now. No Idea why going into download mode allows you to then access recovery and get one clean boot, but it does

Surprisingly, this worked. I forgot about download mode being an option. I also am not sure why this worked.
Edit: The phone boots, but is still randomly rebooting rather often. Not sure why, as everything was wiped and it should have been a fresh install of everything.
Another Edit: Back to boot looping/not getting to the Android loading screen. I didn't do anything other than let it download my apps. Maybe it is a hardware problem after all because it did successfully boot into Android a couple times.
This seems to be a common problem which I have, too. Looks like a whole series of devices had these issues. Currently LG is unable to repair my device because auf missing spare parts they say. So after effortless 3 weeks they will send my unrepaired device back to me with a letter for my dealer to get back my money.
Nice quality and service, LG - NOT!

That is actually pretty good outcome. Pixel phone is coming out soon.
Just had this happen today. Streaming music over Bluetooth and using another app, then tried switching tracks in Google Play Music and the app froze. Phone was unresponsive with app on the screen, then screen went off and wouldn't power on.
I finally got it on by holding down power for 30 seconds, but kept boot-looping to Google boot screen. I was able to get into fastboot mode and wipe everything and install the factory image. Still doing the same thing!
Just got off phone with Google. Told the rep everything I had tried and she is working on a replacement order. Supposed to call me back after chatting with higher level support. I wish they would just send me a new Pixel phone, or the 6P at least!
Ive had the same issue, where I just couldnt get passed the Google screen, the only solution for me to get back on to my phone was to let it happen until the battery died. After i let the battery die i turned it back on normally and connected it to my charger, it hasnt turned off since but im sure it will sooner or later
Edit: Issue is still happening but the only way for me to turn it back on is because the battery dies
This just happened to my and my wifes phones...all within a week of each other. I sent my wife's in about a week and a half ago to LG for warranty service. I am hoping that they are able to fix it...it is still in the 'repair' phase. I am trying to decide whether or not I want to send my phone in (which just died yesterday) before or after LG figures out what is going on with my wifes. In both cases, the phones were running fine and just shut down by themselves. The battery was not dead. Each time, the phone will boot to the Google screen, but then immediate shut down. I can get in to recovery and do actions within there, so I do not believe it to be a battery issue. However, as soon as you attempt to boot the phone, it will die.
Were you guys using stock setups or custom ones?

on both phones, bone stock. Only difference was I was running the beta before getting the stock OTA and my wife's was full stock and received the stock OTA.
I'm having the exact same problem here. Running Android 6.0.1, rooted. Phone suddenly turned off and won't start past the "Google" screen, except for once when it booted fully then immediately shut down, and three times when it loaded the boot animation and shut down. Bootloader is unlocked and TWRP recovery is installed. I can access fastboot but not recovery. I've tried the suggestion of booting into download mode then recovery again, but that didn't work. I have NOT tried updating to Android 7 yet, so this isn't the same boot loop issue faced by some other users. I don't want to try flashing stock yet and lose my data because I have a ton of Tasker profiles and tasks that I haven't backed up in months and I don't want to risk losing them! Serves me right...
Any suggestions?
Same HERE !!!!
the samed for me, and still now i can't light it up

In my opinion your EMMC probably died, but you can try reflashing factory images to see if it is some other problem.
I would only try LGUP as a last resort because it will set Allow OEM unlocking to false and lock your bootloader, making further experimentation difficult.
BTW IMO the Android 7 bootloop probably isn't related to Android 7. I think they are just saying hardware problem (EMMC failure) that happens to show up more frequently when you have large updates of OS.
The way Google worded it, it made it seem like Android 7 is killing some hardware because of some incompatibility with just some isolated hardware builds.
I would suggest you let it keep booting and flash some factory images and sometimes EMMC will come back briefly and boot. If it does, immediately backup as much as you can before doing anything else.
Same deal for me and they are sending a replacement. This is a MAJOR blackeye!
Is your phone under warranty then? I am having the same problem as everyone on here. I've tried everything. I bought the phone just over a year ago though, so am a little concerned Google will turn around and tell me it's not their problem... Even though this is clearly a fault!
