PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ, THANK YOU.
Hello,
I am a Galaxy Nexus user, non rooted, running Android version 4.3. Yesterday I was running 4.2.2 and everything was fine and running as normal. Keep in mind I never rooted my phone, although I have to others in the past. My Nexus was running pure official 4.2.2. I had been waiting for the 4.3 update and was extremely excited when I was the notification that it was ready for my phone. I quickly downloaded it and then it rebooted the phone, as any update should. That's where everything went downhill. The phone started to lag immediately when I turned it on. It was sputtering and jerking but I just thought it was getting used to the update. Then the phone would loose its onscreen buttons and turn the page that I was looking at full screen (meaning I couldn't press home or back, because they simply just weren't there). Then the phone froze all together and after waiting 20 minutes I finally took the battery out and tried again. The EXACT same thing has been happening ever since yesterday and it has made the phone unusable because it will freeze 5 minutes into turning it on. And we then screen times out, the screen will not turn back on, as if the phone was off, when it is not. I'm very frustrated because the phone was working flawlessly before the update and now I have to use my retired G1 because the phone is that unresponsive. I was just hoping someone could please help me, or has a similar story and could make this known to Google. Thank you for reading, please if you can, help me.

Wipe cache and dalvik cacheand flash stock factory images through fastboot
Then flash the latest root files superSU 1.45 and then everything will be okay again.

Since he didn't root his Galaxy Nexus, this method should make him lose all apps data or even internal storage since he has to unlock his bootloader for root.
But it seems to be the only method.
It's time for a full wipe.

I had exactly the same problem so I did factory reset from phone settings 2 days ago and now is just like a new phone working great.
There are just too many changes google did in ~6 months so full wipe is necessary.

Here is my advice: use Nexus toolkit from the development section. Perform the unlock and then flash the factory image. Download it before to start. I always do that way with the new updates. Wipe ewerything. It's worth it.

Please don't use a toolkit.
Just use fastboot commands.

RIght, it seems my phone is rejecting all and any 4.1 OTAs and ROMs.
I have tried every combination of stock takju, yakju, OTA, ROMs, recovery, radios the lot.
My phone applies the update ok then when it starts it just sits in a boot loop getting hotter and hotter.
Does anyone know what the hell is going on and what it could be?
Or has anyone else had this problem?
I can happily flash stock Google images (4.0.4), 4.x.x ROMs no problem it just seems to be JB.
Thanks

Why dont you tell us what exact phone you have, and walk is through a typical ROM installation
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Try locking then unlocking the bootloader (this should wipe all your data off the phone!). Then flash stock factory images via fastboot. If you still can't boot after doing that then something is wrong with your phone physically.
if you don't have the drivers and fastboot setup:
drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875&highlight=naked+samsung
fastboot: http://www.modaco.com/topic/348161-01-feb-r4-superboot-rooting-the-gsm-lte-galaxy-nexus/ (just rename the fastboot and adb .exe's back to their original names w/o the -windows suffix).
factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: or use the toolkit that sarni84 mentioned below - if your not comfortable manually doing it via a command prompt.
Yes I would flash a stock image with the toolkit it should wipe everything it will suck but it seems like your problems are deeper. Then after flashing the 4.0.4 IMG use efrants guide to flash to new 4.1.1

I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus from the UK, the day i got it i flashed the factory 4.0.2 image from google to bring it to clean yakju.
When i download a ROM or anything firstly i check the md5, assuming thats all good i follow the install proceedure to the letter (wipe data, cache, dalvik if needed) I have flashed many ROMs on my Nexus as well as my previous S2 and Nexus S before that.
I have literally tried everything from clean install of factory 4.0.4 yakju and takju, lock and unlock boot loader, root and un-root, OTA and custom ROMs but nothing seems to work.
I have even tried restoring a friends nandroid of stock 4.1.1 android via CWM just to see if that works but nothing.
well... so why not stay with 4.0.4 yakju and just wait for stock ROM 4.1.1 yakju to be available and/or working OTA update? why going through all this hassle?

Sounds like something is broken or your nand flash is corrupted or bad. Probably best to RMA it considering you've tried everything that should have restored it if it wasn't broken.

I got the official OTA from our friends at google (i didn't do the framework services clear) it just came through.
i got the whole 145mb download, it verifies, reboots to the android guy with his front open, loads fine then on reboot, nothing, just the big X boot screen looping out.
It was after that didn't work that i explored the ROM route with the same results
To start I am a newb
I Have a galaxy nexus with the 4.1 Jelly Beans ( not stock, installed via ROM from here xda). That's fine. This week a new "system" update was available for my phone. So I downloaded it and the phone reboot, when the phone starts it goes to the cwm recovery screen saying the update failed. I would like to have some HELP, I found other threads, but I really don't want to do anything worng.
My questions:
How can i get the updates to work again?
DO i need to get ICS back to update the phone?
How should i do it?
Can I do that without losing my data ( would be great, but i am ok if there is no way)
I am just afraid if i go back to ICS, and the update don't show up.

Flash your phone back to stock... then do the ota update... profit...

Everything must must be bone stock to install an ota.
Jellin' like a felon
The issue at hand here is that you have a custom recovery. I can't say that if you remove CWM that you'll be able to OTA update, but that's at least what was the problem there. Now, if you want to keep all your apps and update to the OTA jelly bean instead of the Google I/O preview build, you can flash this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Follow the instructions on that post to update. This is what I did and it worked perfectly.
Camera not working after JB update!

I've tried installing 3rd party applications for camera, but none of them work! Please help me! Is it a hardware or a software fault?

But going to factory reset will not remove the cwm recovery... right? If i go to factory data reset on my phone ( remember i am using a 4.1 rom) will it go back to ics and delete all roms / root? Cause this sounds like the best way to do it, but you were the first one that said that. Bought my phone from Amazon unlocked ( do you guys think it is gonna update?)
I did that, no help! I think it's a hardware fault. Thanks anyway!

PLZ, tell me!! If I do the factory reset is it gonna remove CWM, and all stuff i have installed?
You said you downloaded your ROM from here, but you didn't say which one. There was at least one (Koush's) that was an image of the stock ROM, taken from the OTA update that went out to the phones given out at Google I/O. If you have that ROM (and the corresponding radio), you can just use CWM to install the OTA update. I know this works because I did it myself.
If you really have one of the custom ROMs, your only choice is to return to stock if you want the official OTA. And yes, this will remove CWM and wipe your entire phone (including anything in /sdcard)... so backup anything you want to keep before you try this. See efrant's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Sorry man, I know i am not giving a lot of information, but that's cause i really don't know. I did a random "how to update your galaxy nexus to 4.1" tutorial, and i don't even remember where...... I just know the links i download were from here.
So what i am going to do:
1: Factory data reset
2: I think it's going back to ICS
3: Just do the normal system update that should just pop up.
My only fear is if the phone does not ask for update.
If you restore to stock using efrant's guide, it will be ICS since Google has not yet posted Jelly Bean firmware images. If you don't get the OTA notification or don't want to wait for it, you can just download and apply it manually (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170)

No, that will just wipe data. You'll have a clean phone, but with the same ROM you currently have. The phone doesn't keep a copy of the stock firmware hidden away or anything like that. Efrant's guide is the proper way to restore everything back to stock.
Hey guys, I just bought a used galaxy nexus locally and need help.
The previous owner had it rooted but he asked me if I wanted it to stock before selling it to me. I agreed and he gave it to me with the locked bootloader and on stock ICS.
I'm having a small issue though, whenever I go to settings, I'm getting a ton of crashes.
is there any way that I can re-flash stock without rooting the phone again? I just want to wait for stock JB and root in the near future.
Thanks a ton

Did the whole process twice successfully and still get FC on settings What else can I try? I have insurance and might take it to sprint to have it checked out.
I just rooted the phone for the heck of it and flashed ACS Ru jellying rom and the problem is still there! settings keep FCing
I think I'm going to have to end up going to sprint and getting a refurb (not a problem but a big waste of time since the reps here don't know anything and keep you at the store for 2 hours while they try to reset it)
Anyone?

Something to try that's super helpful is the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from the GNex dev pages, it can do literally anything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
When you flashed the new ROM did you format /system in clockworkmod? When you have weird persistent problems what you probably need to do is boot into clockwork, do a factory reset, then go into 'mounts and storage' and format /system. To be extra thorough from the main menu go to advanced->format dalvik cache, then flash your new ROM (and flash gapps if the ROM needs it). What probably happened is that the previous guy neglected to format everything correctly and now your system apps are borked.
Also if you were waiting for JellyBean stock, you can get a stock JB ROM out of the GNex dev threads. I've been running a JB ROM for about a week and there's no reason to wait anymore.

I added my google credentials and everything seems to be working now. I'll keep using the phone for today and keep you guys posted.
Any nice battery saving tips? going on a trip to Miami tomorrow, planing on loading the phone with my albums today so I'm ready for tomorrow
Ok it happened again today while I was at the airport waiting for my flight. The settings froze when I pressed more in order to get to airplane mode.
I got frustrated and wiped the whole phone several times and re-flashed ru jellyin rom + gapps.
(went into twrp and wiped everything 3 times before flashing the rom + gapps)
Everything seems to be fine again. Can i take my phone in for service if its rooted? if not ill wait until i get home to unroot it (left my laptop) and take it in.
I think the thing that caused this for me was google wallet since I had it installed yesterday and installed it again this morning at the airport before the problems began.

He already formatted his system partition. He needs to rebuild it by flashing a factory image.
All right. Didn't understood that, the message was a bit messy lol.
But don't worry, you just have to reset your device to stock using Odin.
I can tell you the steps to follow to get to result you want but just go on YouTube and type " how to restore to stock / unroot galaxy nexus GSM to jelly bean". You'll find a great step by step video from "techfanatic9" and you'll be back on track.
Don't forget to thank if that helped you (me and video you'll be watching).
Let us know if you managed to do it, it should be pretty easy.
Don't freak out, just follow the steps and you'll be good to go

ODIN has no business being used with a Nexus. Fastboot is infinitely superior and actually supported. There's also no reason to need to go to YouTube when there are several stickies in this section on how to do it CORRECTLY through fastboot.

I just told him the way I would do it. That happened to me before, I don't know the fastboot method so I used ODIN and it worked very well.
That being said, the fastboot method might be the best and maybe if Odin didn't work he should try that.
Anyways, we're here to help and I gave him the method that I know which worked for me

I have lots of experience flashing android roms and this may be a first for me.
Flashed latest MMuzzyrom 4.3 vanilla. Originally had latest stock rooted.
Everything worked flashed full gapps for 4.3 right after it and booted right into android. Everything was previously wiped clean. rebooted soon after and it stick on "google" with "unlock"
screen for half an hour before giving up.
Tried second time and booted right into the new rom. I forgot about the previous reboot issue. spent all day getting most of my apps installed and everything setup. Went to reboot and same crap . Tried clearing cache and dalvik no help.
Wish I would have not wasted my time. I only wish their is a way to salvage this before flashing another rom or a stock image.

I have lots of experience as well and this is the first time I've run into this issue. The same **** has been happening to me on all 4.3 ROMs. I had to wipe everything, including internal storage, and reflash a 4.2.2 ROM to solve it. Wish I knew the issue here.
I decided to try flashing a different 4.3 ROM and it hung up for some reason during booting. I then decided to flash the factory image. Then tried the different ROM I downloaded. Seems to be good now. I still don't know what caused it but life is good now.

Can I ask where you found the factory image? I just picked up a Gnex so I'm still figuring everything out

Sorry not sure. Had it saved on my hard drive for a while. Try to download galaxy root toolkit I think it has the ability to download it for you if I remember right.

Wow.
GOOGLE!
Literally Google hosts the damn images for you.
Search for galaxy nexus factory images.
Did everyone forget who gives us this OS? A search company.

What I can't understand is that I have no issues on stock. Zero. Is my device the best device in the world?
Why are you people flashing 4.3 "vanilla ROMs" through a custom recovery when we've got FACTORY IMAGES.
Is it really that hard to root a stock rom? Just follow the whole situation going on with su and you'll know!
Oh and drop the damn toolkit.
