2 days ago I installed 4.2.2 factory rom on my gnex because I wanted to do a clean installation of a new ROM, like I did many times, but when I try to copy files from the PC the gnex goes vinto bootloop and i have to install the stock rom another time. I've tried several 4.2.2 roms and i also went back to 4.1.2 but i have the same problem. From ubuntu 13.04 i can't copy any file. Any solution?

Unfortunately the problem is not only this because I noticed that the phone random reboots even when I'm using it and I can't understand the reason! But as I said I've tried to do many resets and the problem is still there...

His problem is he can't copy files from/to sdcard. Through MTP or whatever its called I assumed, so I suggested adb. If he only posted some logs, if we would see input/output errors, then it would mean something's wrong with eMMC. Its rather strange he's even able to flash anything, I would be scared if my device reboots randomly and I was to flash anything to it. So it maybe an issue with a damn app, idk.

Well, the main problem is that the phone random reboots 4-5 times a day and it's really annoying. I tried to pass only a part of files every time, something like 300 mb every time, and it worked until I tried to copy DCIM folder (5 gb). It rebooted. How and when should I create a log? (I'm feeling so noob now lol)
First, did you try pulling/pushing files through adb? I don't really trust mtp.

i try cyanogen 10.1 but no luck, i got the same problem!
today i switch back to factory... it downloaded all my apps... but then i got another reboot!!!!
the only thing... on stock rom i was using the app notification toggle, after a reboot i removed it... and now seems ok... no more reboot!!!
maybe when we have a bad flash memory block that crash the phone when accessed/written???

I wanted to try this, but I had to reset the phone because it was stuck in a bootloop and I couldn't boot to android! Now I installed slim bean 4.2.2 and I have no issues so far, for 5-6 hours. I only downloaded the apps without copying the files from pc to phone, so I have the memory clear.

In fact I was thinking about something like this... some kind of problem with the memory, because the phone starts rebooting only when I try to push files to devies, with mtp or even adb, anyway I had this problem even in safe mode when third part apps are disabled so the problem is the phone itself!
I thought you were trying to get a backup.
Anyways, don't restore app backups, re-install them from the play store. IF you're installing apps from outside Play Store (and even from it), you need to be careful with what you install, you're always doing it at your own risk. Don't let the Play store restore your saved data, only the apps themselves.
And the problem it's not the phone, or everybodies phone.. I also have a maguro, like many in here, and there are a lot of us who never did have such an issue.

I'm not restoring app backups, I only downloaded all them manually from the store, and I don't use any app installed outside the store, I use the same apps I have always used on my phone with no problems. In fact now phone is working well but without all my data on it. I didn't say that the problem is the phone as gnex, I mean maybe it's my phone that has an hardware issue but it seems too strange. My model is a C9 and I heard that these models could potentially have more issues than the others.

Ok, I am having a VERY strange issue with my gsm galaxy nexus. First off it started acting weird rebooting itself all the freaking time so I got fed up and decided it was time to try a new ROM (currently on stock 4.0.4).
Now here is where the crazyness starts. I tried to root and install CWM but nothing sticks, so I try to ODIN a factory image and when the phone reboots I am back on stock with all my settings and files still in tact like nothing flashed, I try to connect to my computer and transfer a file to my phone and when I reboot or go into recovery the file is gone. I have tried re-locking my bootloader and when I reboot, it is still unlocked. I have even factory reset my phone and all my data is STILL there. I don't understand. It seems as if my memory in my phone is not allowing any writing or something. Please tell me I am not the first to experience this.
Basically no matter what I do or try, my phone stays the exact way I currently have it. PLEASE HELP!!!
I also just noticed that when I enable wifi and then reboot, wifi is disabled and also whenever I reboot, my apps that I have already updated try updating again. It just seems like my storage is not writable.
I think you need to make a video of you doing a factory rest and have it not work. I love paranormal videos.
Have you tried fastboot? If you are using the toolkit, stop, do it manually.

Format the internal memory ... last option but it might help, good luck
Are you able to boot into the OS still? Does adb work? Does fastboot work?
I just tried running some commands which should have pretty much wiped my device.
I ran
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
When I reboot the phone, all my damn data is still there and everything is in tact.

I also noticed if I try to uninstall any app the phone reboots itself and if it doesn't when I do reboot it myself the app I uninstalled is back.
I think we can all agree there is only one thing that can be causing this: the ghost of Steve Jobs.
I read somewhere that the exact same thing happened to someone with an SII. I don't think they were able to find a solution.

If i do a reset in the menu, it reboots to recovery with a red exclamation so i press all 3 buttons to bring up the menu and try to wipe data/factory reset in the stock recovery and it says it works but when I reboot all my data is still there.
I called Samsung and apparently they wont help me since it is an international version. So basically I have a phone that can't be fixed and will always be in the current state it is in now.
EDIT: I have now found 3 occurrences of this besides mine. One guy with a Galaxy S2, one guy with a Droid X and one guy with a Dell Streak 7. Nobody ever fixed it. Neat
Maybe there are some more option going through the debug port?

I've been using my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, with the official JB ROM (JR30C or whatever, deodexed and rooted) and today I opened Gmail.
That's it. I opened GMail, switched accounts, and my phone has been bootlooping ever since.
I wiped everything in CWM multiple times and reflashed it, and I can't get the phone to do anything else.
Any clues?

I do not have a working NANDROID. I wasn't sure about the Internet policies at work, but it looks like I can at least make it on here, I'm not sure I'll be able to download another ROM.
I'm confused though, I mean I know it would help to try as many options as possible (to fix it) - but this ROM has been working for weeks. And the phone died randomly, not due to a recent file change or a botched program. The only boot loops I've experienced before were on the Nexus One, and it was always due to a buggy/bad flash or a corrupted ROM download - this one just developed epilepsy on its own...
Here's my plan, since these are the only things I can manage to download due to restrictions on Internet usage at work.

Got more than one additional ROM on there via adb/recovery - my clue that CWM hasn't actually been able to do anything since the phone start looping is I'm still getting my custom boot animation.
I'm using the toolkit to reflash a stock image now. What a mess.
Even reflashing a stock image via fastboot did nothing. WTF happened to my phone? Won't stay on long enough to get a logcat
I'm having the same problem as this guy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827685&page=2
I just got finished trying to flash 4.1.1 using ODIN. It still shows me the custom animation from bigxie's ROM (which has supposedly since been overwritten 2-4x times).
Screw you Samsung...this phone is a month old, I flashed -once- to rooted Jelly Bean, and the phone dies when I open the GMail app.
EDIT: WTF - I write screw you Samsung, it boots to the Welcome screen! Just long enough for me to see that my files aren't on it anymore, then it bootloops again. And again. Now it's re-stuck in a bootloop.
And now I'm at the homescreen. I can't rely on this thing like this...is my flash dying or something?
Nobody?
It worked long enough for me to re-enter all of my different Google account information and now it's dead again. Now it only flashes the boot animation for a split second for bootlooping.
I'm thinking of a hardware defect.

Mee too. As you can see from my signature, I gave up and bought a One S yesterday night from Craigslist. Feels like a true successor to the Desire / N1. It's nice to finally have an AMOLED screen that actually seems color calibrated after the ugly mess that was my RAZR and my less than perfect GNex.

"backed up" phone prior to letting Kies update my phone.
apparently everything but my photos/videos was backed up. (stupid me for not double checking that AND the version it was updating to)
updated phone. phone is pretty much useless now. (EVERY SINGLE APP freezes and crashes eventually)
wont connect VIA USB... knows it is connected and so does the computer. computer now refuses to install (it tries) anything involving MTP. all other drivers are installed. Kies can see the device.. tell me how many photos... but by the time I try to transfer anything Kies or the USB app on the phone freezes and crashes.
ive tried everything under the sun that is basic. uninstall drivers.. uninstall kies... reinstall things.. reboot. safe mode... USB debugging.. etc. NOTHING will get my computer to pull the files or the phone to stop crashing the programs.
I NEED to get these photographs from the phone.. there are at least 2k of them.
what are some options I have or things I could try?
and DO NOT say factory reset.. thats not an option until I get desperate.. do that and try some recovery software for photos.
thanks for any help. I have about a week or so to figure this out... so I can return this stupid galaxy express I had to buy just to have a functional phone.

Well to me it sounds like some issue was caused in the upgrade. Are you currently using a custom recovery? I ask because I have a feeling a factory reset will be your fix and with a custom recovery you could backup then wipe so you can troubleshoot w/o losing everything
And in the future once u fix this I recommend Dropbox which will automatically backup all those pictures so u dont have to worry about losing them again. Regardless of what you want to do to fix it we should be able to pull the pics even with mtp being borked

You could try rooting your phone and flashing a recovery. After that, go into the recovery and fix permissions. This won't delete anything and it's worth a shot.

no the phone has nothing special installed. looked into the custom recovery... and its not going to work (at least I dont think) cause I dont have a solid USB connection... as in it does "connect" per se. the phone knows its connected... the computer knows its connected but it doesnt show up as a drive like it used to.
In download mode, you shouldn't have problems like that.

I hit a boot loop snag on my Galaxy Nexus GSM after installing the recent 4.3 OTA security update. I had no issues with the initial Android 4.3 release, but the security update did something that made my device hit a boot loop. I could restore from a Nandroid backup, but about once a day I would hit the boot loop snag again. After dealing with daily restores for a couple days I dug into it a bit and found that when the phone gets mired in a boot loop I can fix it by deleting two files.
The trick is you have to be using TWRP on the recovery partition because that will let you use a file manager to delete the two files. There may well be other solutions but that's been the easiest for me. The two files which need to be deleted are:
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
If you use Google Wallet you'll see a similarly named file there "locksettings.db-wal" -- DO NOT DELETE THIS ONE, just the two above.
If this helps anyone please post so if it doesn't people won't waste their time -- THANKS!
Told my cousin she said that it worked like a charm! What do those two files actually do?

To be honest -- I have no idea. I found this by pure trial and error after a totally non-related post pointed to the /data/system folder.
The files appear to get recreated when the phone reboots so it's probably generated from the system partition ultimately.
From what I know now, it appears as though SuperSU is causing this somehow. Is your cousin using SuperSU do you know?
There was a recent update to version 1.60 of SuperSU which was supposed to address this and I think it did for some users, perhaps Nexus 4 users only, but I definitely have this issue still even with the newest 1.65 version.
I've ended up created a Tasker script to delete the files on reboot because I was tired of having to repetitively reboot into TWRP and manually delete them. It works well but I'd much rather fix the underlying cause.

Ok, so it turns out this is actually being caused by the app "Delayed Lock" if you use a pattern lock. If you use a PIN/password lock it won't happen, but if you use a pattern lock with the current version of Delayed Lock on a Galaxy Nexus this boot loop issue will occur.
I've opened a bug with the Delayed Lock Dev so hopefully he'll find a way to fix it. In the meantime, choices are to either disabled/uninstall Delayed Lock (hate!) or switch to a PIN or password lock setting.
Hey guys,
I had the same problem and found out that it could be solved, without losing any data, by directly flashing the update.
Here's what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427613
Best of luck.
hi, i have a samsung galaxy s3 (ATT).
its rooted, ive been on a few roms this last month, and they all lag at times. sometimes it works flawlessly like it should, but there are many times when my phone just lags. its so bad that i literally have to pull out the battery and put it back in to reboot since rebooting the regular way lags and takes forever as well. ive wiped the system and installed new roms, cleared cache, messed with performace settings (i have them set to 1500 mhz or lower). i have no idea whats causing the lag. must i wipe the entire internal sd first and then install another rom? i need an opinion, any help? thanks
Have you made sure that none of your apps are slowing the device down....I would install something like trepn profiler and see what your soc is doing

Flash stock, factory reset and test clean. If you are keeping or restoring old apps and data, im willing to bet
thats causing your issues.

Ok, when flashing stock, u mean thru Odin? Or just use the root injected stock ROM?? I guess my question is, will I have to use the method to get rid of root and then re root? Just wanna make sure I'm doing this correctly. Thanks for replying btw

I generally prefer odin, but either should be ok.
