Phone stuck in boot animation - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So last night I left my phone off and on charge to charge my main battery. I went to turn it on this morning and it won't get past the boot animation, even after 20 minutes. I've tried booting with both batteries, with no luck. I'm currently running PitchBlack 2.0 (4.2.2) and haven't had this sort of problem until now. I tried wiping cache+dalvik and that didn't work. I've left my phone sitting for a while still with no luck. Any suggestions? I wanna try everything before I try resetting my phone.

first try to let your phone sit for minutes without battery
if not, reflash your rom, or push kernel to your sd card and flash it

I reflashed my rom (flash+wipe cache+dalvik) and still nothing, so I'm gonna try and reflash AK Kernel and see what happens.

And flashing the kernel did nothing. I'm gonna wait and see if any more suggestions come up. If not I'll do a full wipe and either flash a new rom or PitchBlack 2.1.

Did you try going back to the stock rom (with stock kernel)? My friend had a similar problem and it helped
Later he flashed his custom ROM again and everything worked fine.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that you want to try everything before you reset the phone.

I don't know... I'm waiting for my GNEX to come next weekend, so I don't have much experience with the device, but I had an HTC One X.. On the HOX I had a problem too, and I flashed the stock rom again and again untill it was solved
If this doesn't help and you are already on the stock rom, you could lock your bootloader and send the GNEX back under warranty..?

I'm not under warranty, I wiped everything and flashed again, it works. I'll keep it on for a while and reboot it later. If the problem persists I'll flash back to stock.

Alright, no big deal, it's not a requirement.
Try using VR superwipe to completely wipe it.
Redownload the ROM zip and place it on the SDCARD.
Flash the VR superwipe zip.
Flash the ROM and then reboot and see if that solves your issue.
Keep in mind that your first boot can take around 10 minutes in some cases.

Oh sorry, you said you HAVE a backup on your SDCARD.
You can have multiple backups, yes.
But why would you back this up if it doesn't work properly?
Just try the method I gave you and see what happens.
If all else fails, restore your previous backup and THEN flash Amon RA:

Pull the battery and no it will not cause any damage.
"Bricking" a phone can really only occur if you're modifying the recovery/hboot/radio etc and something goes wrong [such as a loss of power]

are you pressing any buttons to get into recovery? or is it just bootlooping into it? you tried flashing an ruu? on second thought to flash an ruu, dont you need to have a locked, or relocked bootloader? and that requires fastboot, which is in hboot. damn. maybe you can send it off to htc?

Try Flashing a Sense rom with APM, AKA MyOneV RC 3.0, and reboot into bootloader, and try Flashing an RUU

First of all, the rom is fine. It boots fine, it installs fine. The partitions are fine (it has the same updater-script like CM9), so I VERY MUCH DOUBT that the rom deleted your Hboot or anything... Try downloading One V all in one tool and from there select reboot phone in bootloader. see if that helps.
Thanks,

hey guys... thanks for all the help, i din say anything about the new rom doing this... but well i flashed rc3.0 and restored data, that fixed it... and sounding incredibly stupid it seems my battery was low... anyway its fixed now... i'm gonna try flashing paranoid once more when my battery is fully charged...:good:

looks like some prob with SU, it denies root access, tried updating it from play also tried changing default to prompt and allow, still doesn help... i loved the rom but if it doesnt let me make or take calls... well i guess i'll have to wait for the next update...

kernel install problems

i am currently using the tuchimi rom. link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1766999.
it already uses version 007 of of fauxs kernel. i am trying to update to version 013, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29718-d2t...omsv013dec-02/. i wiped the cache and the dalvik first,my phone is stuck on the starting applications screen it took it 8 hours to to boot into the phone and then it was still laggy for an hour after being booted up. after that hour of being booted up i rebooted it as he says and it started taking awhile on the starting app screen again. it says on the developers page for the kernel that it will work on all stock based roms and i realize it says tmobile but the devolper says "ATT and Tmoible SGS3 uses a UNIFIED KERNEL to reduce duplication" . you will see that last bit if you click on the kernel link on the development page for the rom. please and thankyou for any help.

hmm have you tried a different kernel or going back to the stock kernel ? seems to me that the kernel isn't compatible with your rom.

I had a similar prob with my HTC one. So I flashed boot image (TWRP recovery) using fastboot. Then applied custom ROM using recovery.
Are you using a windows 8 PC for flashing? If so try flashing again from a Windows 7 PC, It works sometimes (I dont know why, but USB driver management of Win8 sucks)
Your phone should be in warranty (I hope so) and you should first give it to Samsung guys if you have original purchase proof. Since u bought it in Chile and using it in Argentina, I dont know if it would be possible. All the best.

Constant Reboot with Data On

Ever since installing 4.4.2 on my C6506, when I have my mobile data on, my phone randomly reboots because of this my phone overheats and dies within a few hours. Not sure if I'm the only one having this issue. Could someone help me fix this issue or direct me where to find the answer?
