I have searched high and low for an answer to my problem for the past 5 hours. Haven't found a solution or guide on XDA or anywhere else that can help, so I am making this post as my last effort.
I bought an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus off of ebay knowing that it was stuck in a boot loop. I figured it could be fixed. I may be wrong.
I AM ON A MAC The pictures have Windows but I am running Parallels and it sucks.
--------
Ok, so here is my problem lies, when turning the device on normally I get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I get this for a few seconds, then it goes away, vibrates, and comes back ..... over and over.
I can get to both Odin mode and Fastboot:
This is no problem.
I even managed to get CWM on the phone and to come up:
My issue now is that I can't get ADB to work .. Wugs ToolKit won't work ... Galaxy Nexus ToolKit wont work ... nothing.
I can't be 100% sure that USB Debugging is enabled as I can't get past the Google Logo.
Is there anything that can be done to save this phone ... or is it a fancy paperweight?
I have an N4, I just bought this because the seller had no clue how to fix it, and it was a good deal. (not to mention I was planning to use it as a dev device for apps and such)
Thanks everyone!!!
Use the terminal on the Mac. I also have a Mac. Let me find u the files needed for adb and fast boot for macs.

Well crap .... after trying to use Fastboot (as ADB doesn't seem to want to recognize my device) I am stuck at the Google logo with the unlocked padlock.
I can still get in to CWM Recovery and Fastboot, but I am 100% lost on what to do now. I can not find a solution anywhere that works

Unfortunately so ---- Windows XP and Windows 7 both ... I may try again tomorrow : /
Ok, so here is my status now ---
Flashed stock image using Odin. Said it was completed and successful. Gave a big "PASS" message.
Rebooted phone, and watched the Google logo bootloop for 30mins.
On the plus side, my phone is now getting recognized as an ADB Interface --- but only in Fastboot. When I enter Stock Recovery or CWM Recovery, I can no longer use adb.
1 step closer, or totally effed?

Yes it does, but only in fast boot.
Other things I found:
-My battery is full. When I plug it in it shows it's charging then shows me battery life, shows full.
-When I turn it on, it gets stuck at Google screen
-When I go into fastboot my computer recognizes it, but after flashing anything to it, it just continues to be stuck on the Google start-up screen
Update since I've written this post... when I plug it in, it wont go past the 'showing that it's charging screen" I have to wait till it shows battery status before I can go into fast boot, and now it wont even do that... neat. Headed home, then i'll swap batteries and try it all again.

Hi guys, as the title says my nexus was going great, howver randomly it switched off then into a loop, it goes to the part were the google logo comes up then just keeps repeating this, ive cleared the cache, restored factory settings. none of it has fixed it! Please help guys.
I have no solution but the same thing happened to me, I used fastboot to lock the bootloader and took it to verizon and exchanged it.
I got it to boot once after locking the bootloader but then it just stayed in the boot loop. I chalked it up to a hardware failure and moved on.
Hopefully someone else will have a better suggestion.

Flash the factory image and you should be good. You can use the tool kit to do this if you are not familiar with manual methods.

Im not sure I know the difference, its got a sim card so i think its GSM? I'm on three in the uk.
custom rom I downloaded it from here.
mine just switched off in google earth after the phone got real hot and after battery pull everything loaded fine but 10 seconds after launcher loaded up, GPS icon appeared in status bar and it rebooted again. Did this same thing continually for over an hour so I had to restore factory image. I've since installed 4.0.2 and it hasn't happened again.

No it was already rooted. I was actually streaming a video off the internet at the time then the screen just went blank
Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing the custom rom? If so, restore that. If not try reflashing your current rom.

Exact same thing happened to me a week or two ago (GSM, stock, not rooted).
I followed these steps to solve the issue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20302409&postcount=2
It was very simple, but it restored the phone and so wiped everything on it.
didn't work for me. now I'm stuck at a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between a phone and a pc...
You did download the file properly right? It was around 180mb if I remember correctly.
Yeah, got it from the rs link. Zip was ok. when run, the exe checks crc ok. It gets stuck when starts writing nand for recovery. I really think there's something broken with the phone because of the screen desynchronisation.I'm gonna take it back monday morning...
Try giving it the fast boot command to lock the boot loader (your driver might not be configured for the phones regular state but if you can get it to recognize the decide when the phone is in the boot loader this may work). Give it the fast boot OEM lock command, and then give it the faatboot OEM unlock command. Make sure you have the stock .img on your ccmputer. When you unlock it, it will wipe everything. I mean everything, your Android backups and all. But, it managed to bring mine back after I got stuck in a boot loop that wouldn't make it passed the Google logo. After you unlock it, try and configure the drivers to recognize the phone again. Hopefully then you can push what you need from the computer
Here is what I mean with screen desync:

This is the one I have used the last 5 times under a variety of messed up situations and it always works. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND TAKE YOUR TIME. It seems like a lot to do but it is not that bad after the first time you have all the files. Make a "Phone" folder on your computer and put all the files in there and keep everything nice and tidy. Follow the instructions and it will fix just about everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660
P.S. When you get everything downloaded and unzipped..and you start flash tools with a # you found on the internet..maybe something like 39B0-IH19-4UAO-G6T8. you have checked manual mode on flash tools and put in the file locations in the top two slots, and you finally hit the yellow arrow at the top left....it will say "waiting" for about a minute. THIS IS NOT waiting on you to plug phone in!! You plug phone in when it says ready and that window with "waiting" goes away. Do not unplug the phone either just because it reboots. You need to wait until the bar turns blue and it says complete. This happens around 522 seconds or after.
this just saved my phone from being stuck on recovery! thanks!
I wonder if anyone has solved the battery issue with this method ????
Many users report that while using this method all goes well till around 45% complete and they get a message "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge phone fully and try again".
This despite the phone being fully charged.
A very common problem it seems.

When i was on stock unrooted new phone all seemed good.. but after 3 months when i open gallery app half of the imaged is gone. i have to again tap on screen to get back the full image. half upper screen gets randomly colored including the status bar. i thought it was an rom issue. so i rooted and put the custom (g2 apps added) rom. but the problem still continues. so i decided to follow these instructions. but can i get my warranty back? please help!

Ok so i bought a Galaxy S3 For tmobile, i installed the 4.3 update ota. then i tryed rooting phone it all whent through Green Pass On Odin but Knox kept blocking SuperSu so i wasnt able to grant root permisions to any app. i then installed CWM Recovery and tryed to flash a custom rom it gave me a status 7 error so i did some research and i read on a thread that i had to update the bootloader. once i flashed the bootloader the phone just shut down and never came back on. I believe its hardbricked cant get into recovery or download mode, just a black screen and red led comes on when connected to charger with no battery And it connects to my pc as QHSUSB_DLOAD. If anybody has any idea what i can do to get my phone running again Please let me know asap
Your Efuse has blown after flashing another bootloader on top of the 4.3 bootloader. I seriously doubt you can recover. Try the De-Bricking Thread in Android Development sub forum.
Will the SD Card DeBricking Method work ?
Probably will. But if you have already flashed the 4.3 update you will probably have to use the 4.3 debrick.img.
Im going to give it a try, Do you know if a Class 10 SD Card Manditory
I know class 6 works. Not sure about lower but some have said no they won't work

I went through the same tiresome process over the weekend after bricking my device. You need to use the 4.3 debrick image so that you can odin back to the TW 4.3. Make sure you remove the debrick SD after you get the download mode b4 you odin. Good luck
By any chance do you have a Link to the TW 4.3 i cant find it anywhere

I went through the exact same problem here.
When you set up the SD card, in Windows, make sure to use win32diskimager.
Next, I would advise that you take out the battery, put the SD card in, and then put the battery in.
At that point, the phone should boot by itself within 15 - 30 seconds. If not, try getting it into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power for about 15 seconds).
If it doesn't boot, rewrite the debrick image and keep trying.
I also found this to be a huge help. Just make sure to use the T999 4.3 debrick image.
So my M8 GPE is S-Offed, bootloader unlocked, and rooted. The new 4.4.3 update came out today, and I wanted to upgrade to that. I downloaded the OTA on my device from one of the threads for the GPE OTA here, and when I went in CWM to flash it, it said something about the build.prop being unable to verify/find.
I read somewhere (I think on Android Central) that someone else was trying to do a very similar thing (with a different phone though). Their build.prop was edited, and it needed to be stock to accept the update. Some people advised him to just get the stock build.prop, put it in the folder, and make a backup of the one he had for it to update (and then he could put the other back).
After reading that, I went to the thread on here with the M8 GPE dumps, downloaded the one for 4.4.2, and extracted the build.prop and did what I explained above.
After that, I went to the recovery, and tried to flash the OTA. Still didn't work, and had the same error. I went to reboot, and after pressing that the screen went black. I wasn't able to get to the splash screen after that, just the screen that says Google with the unlocked padlock at the bottom.
I can't get anything now, and would really like to fix this ASAP. It's not my main phone (my main number is in my iPhone), so it's not as bad as it could have been, but it's really annoying.
I'm starting to think that maybe build.props are device specific? It really didn't make sense that it didn't work the first time, because there were plenty of articles saying that rooted Nexus 5s with custom recoveries could just flash OTAs like I initially tried to (because the GPE phones are so similar, and there's nothing out there about the M8 GPE, I figured everything should be similar).
Anyone have any ideas? I realized I was probably a little quick to go messing around, but I really didn't think installing an OTA could cause this much trouble
Thanks!
To be more clear:
The only thing I can get is this. And that's by holding power+volume up or power+volume up and down for 10 seconds. Nothing happens when I hold power+down or just power (even for a minute):

It says Google with an unlocked padlock on the bottom. The background is totally black. No combination of buttons can get me anywhere else.

I wasn't sure if it was edited by S-Off, AdAway, or rooting.
I now remember reading somewhere that if you reflagged stock recovery and did the update that would work... Now I understand why I have the stock recovery on my PC
I totally forgot about that while I was doing this. I didn't remember until now for some reason. If power+down doesn't do anything, what can I do?

Can you at the very least pick up the phone when connecting to a PC? If so you could send command from there to boot into bootloader and work from there?

It will HAVE to work.
Press and hold Volume Down + Power.. and it will get you in bootloader mode.

No nothing... When the Google logo shows up, it shows up as a DVD drive with no disk in it until the logo disappears a couple seconds later.

Odd then, when the phone usually boots while connected to PC it already gets picked up by the PC, though it won't load most things for sure. When I tried to install an app and it wanted to reboot it got hung up on the splash screen too, none of the hardware buttons worked(Like you're experiencing now, though I know your problem is more than just an app). When I plugged it into PC it gave the notification sound on PC that it was loading drivers, I just opened the command prompt, adb devices and it showed the device connected, could reboot into bootloader form there.

See it isn't doing that on the PC though. I have the drivers, but it doesn't notice it while it's off

Of course.
I mean though, the necessary drivers already load up as soon as the phone starts up, hence why you can use command prompt in fastboot mode even though the phone itself didn't fully start up, but if adb doesn't pick up your phone then I guess it won't be much help then to get you into fastboot mode or even send a command to reboot the device into fastboot.
So no hardware and software method to do this

Yeah... You can see the unlocked padlock on the bottom when you can get it to show something, so I'm afraid to send it to Google.
I've looked around on the internet, and I haven't seen anyone who's been unable to boot anything because they changed the .prop...
If there's some way to maybe drain the battery completely so they can't even turn it on a little bit, that may help
What about holding the power button for a minute?

Don't think it'll work. I had it happen to me as well, like I said in my one post up there. Tried to install the Root Companion for GSAM Battery Monitor, it wanted a reboot to complete, pushed the button to do reboot and it got hung up right after device turned "off" to reboot, it didn't even show HTC logo or nothing. Tried pushing button combinations, holding power in etc it didn't do anything, none of the hardware reboot methods worked.
Plugged in USB cable and hooked it up to computer, opened my command prompt in adb folder and checked to see if it picked up the device. It did and I rebooted the device from the command prompt, no problem. So I don't know the hardware combinations hardly ever works, but what I find odd is that the 'software' (Through command prompt) doesn't work either. He said that it picks up the device as DVD drive with no disk, so surely the computer picked it up, so adb should as well Strange that it doesn't, I would have thought it could pick up the device as soon as it gets powered on, hence why we can just connect it in fastboot when we boot directly into it(Hardware method). Does it load seperate drivers(For PC) for a fastboot boot and a normal one?
Oh well... Use it for BBQ fire, buy a new one
I checked adb devices, and nothing showed up... Damn shame. How about this? Break screen>send to HTC advantage>get free replacement?

To reboot the phone you have to hold volume UP and power for about 20 seconds. Do this and as soon as the Google logo goes away hold volume DOWN only. It should then boot into the boot loader and you can then carry on from there...don't connect it to your PC until you're in the bootloader
Update: so for whatever reason, the phone was draining battery the entire time while it was "off" now, after totally draining the battery, I'm able to get it to show it's charging and access recovery mode.
Can I manually change by prop file from there, or should I just restore the OS?

Actually there is nothing wrong with rooting your device. You just need to enable developer options when you get your device. As a small time developer I always do this first to see what was added or removed from there. Then you would have noticed the boot loader switch.

Anything that worked before the last update ( Nov 2015 ) doesn't work anymore, FRP has stumped a lot of users, developers, flashing geeks you name it, but if you find a solution come and post/share what worked for you.
Samsung doesn't want you messing with the phone, even if you paid for it.
