AOSP 2.99 beta5 (five) Reboot loop! bricked

The problem I encountered must be the worst problem ever! For some reason my nexus reboot randomly and its not just a regular reboot but it reboot as a DEEP FREEZE. So basically once it rebooted, it goes back to a same specific point of time. I can't even delete stuff from the phone, for example if I deleted 1GB of music off my phone, after few second the phone will reboot automatically OR if i reboot the phone myself the 1GB of music would be back in my phone. Like WTH? I am completely lost. I have no idea how it happened, but I know it happened after I installed Paranoid Android AOSP 2.99 beta5. I was fine when flashing Paranoid Android 1,3,4. ALSO I cannot do a factory reset or install a factory rom. It just go back to 4.2.1 AOSP 2.99 beta5...
please guys, if anyone can help me that would be great. If you guys need more explaining please email or PM me. I will be glad to write a whole essay on what you guys need to know to help me out. Thank you

Go back to stock and start fresh.

That didn't work either. I tried going back to stock but it didn't do anything, I keep booting into 2.99 beta5. I was able to get into recovery mode but I think that when it load the "Google" boot up screen, that's when it start the deep freeze process. Do you get what I mean though? I can post a video to show you guys what I mean. So like if I wanted to flash another ROM I have to go into recovery, but before getting to recovery, you have to go through the "Google" loading screen correct? Then when I get into recovery to flash, the ROM is not there..

Which "ROM" is not there? Do you have any flashable zip of any ROM on your internal sdcard to flash?
I think you should go ahead and post a video so it will be much easier to understand what is going on exactly then hopefully we can help you here

You cant brick a nexus! Try making a jig with this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKRrTZayRxU Then get download odin and an img file of whatever rom you want and flash it through odin. Problem should be solved.

Based on the language used in the OP I think he used a toolkit to root/unlock his Nexus and that's why he knows nothing about his device and how to fix it.
OP- look up fastboot images nexus and follow what you read. Basicly you should download the fastboot images and flash them all in fastboot. Then start from scratch again

That's right and probably the cleanest way of going out of this mess. Here is a thread that can help you accomplish that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Read the instructions carefully because this will delete all your data including the internal (and only) sdcard of your GNex, so consider the backup part of that thread very well.
Good Luck

I couldn't use the driver from the thread you sent, it says "access denied" and I tried to disable windows signature verification but that didn't work either. So I thought maybe I'll use the driver from Nexus toolkit. I manage to complete all the steps from the instruction to the core except for the driver but it still didn't work. It would not erase the 2.99 beta5 and so I cannot go back to stock. Perhaps I should try to use the driver from the thread but I just don't know how to get pass the signature verification when installing the driver. Assist me if you can please. Thank you

I really have not done anything to my GNex via Windows becuse I am using Ubuntu Linux so I have not experienced installing these drivers on Windows. I also have neither returned my phone to stock before nor used the Nexus toolkit. I am doing everything manually.
I think you are referring to the drivers in this page. If you are using Windows 8 then there are some steps mentioned on how to get pass the driver signature enforcement.
If you are on Windows 7, then look here.
Just to confirm something else because I did not read that you have done it, did you try wiping system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery then install any other flashable zip of a ROM on your sdcard (if you have) and still nothing is erased and you are stuck on the same ROM?

Yes, I have but that didn't seem to work either. I put a flashable ROM into the internal memory when it was rebooted, when I tried to go into recovery the file is not there anymore. Its because the phone erases everything that was placed into the internal during the Google reboot process. I even tried using the nexus toolkit to flash a stock ROM, the procedure went through successfully but it still loads 2.99 beta5.
I will try to post a video as soon as I buy a webcam.. But a webcam is cheaper than a nexus phone right now so I don't mind. lol

You may try to boot into recovery then use "adb push" to send the file to your sdcard from your computer. If the file is sent successfully, then you can find it in the recovery and install it thus escape the reboot problem.
Hope this works!

Was there any progress of pushing the file then it did not appear in your recovery or it did not show any progress at all of being pushed?
I have experienced this and used to push the file two times (one after another while still in recovery mode) in order to successfully find the file in recovery. Give it a try and good luck

I pushed it before and while it was in recovery mode. Tried both ways but I didnt see any file in there.

Thank Goodness im not the only one who has this issue... Bugs the crap outta me lol..
To the OP:
Try this, 1: make sure your an admin on your PC. From the sounds of it you may not be if it said 'access denied'. 2: Plug your nexus in while in the 'device manager' section of windows. 3: Find the new device and delete it. Delete anything that says Android ADB or Android anything or galaxy Nexus or Galaxy phone. Just delete them. Windows will warn you but do it anyways... 4: reboot the pc. 5: Plug your nexus back in, it should either install the device or fail. At that point find and download the newest samsung naked drivers and use the option on windows to install driver from disk and navigate to your unzipped folder.
That is the sure fire way to get it working again. Sorry to say if you still have driver issues then your doing something wrong. Do alot of reading and the answer will show itself.

1. Can you boot your phone into fastboot mode?
2. If so, once in fastboot mode, what happens when you connect the phone to the computer?
It is very very difficult to brick a nexus, so don't worry... .

[Q] effed up my phone

Hi, I just got a Sprint Galaxy Nexus off ebay. It came rooted with team win recovery and a custom rom based on jelly bean 4.1.1. It worked fine. It had goo manager, so I downloaded two different roms to flash before I activated the phone. I wiped the system, factory reset, casce and Dalvik Cache, then flashed the rom. It failed. I hit wipe cache/dalvik, it said successful. Like a dumbass, I rebooted even though it said there was no os installed. Now, neither rom will flash, it will only boot into win recovery and it won't mount to my pc. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Did you do a backup before you flashed? If so, have you tried using the backup? If you did not, maybe the person before you who rooted the phone did a backup.

no, I did not make a backup. I unwisely assumed the person before me did. they did not.

I'm not sure where the guide is but you should search on how to push files to the phone via ADB, once you have the file on your phone I think you should be able to flash a new rom and be back to normal.

Since you now own a nexus, you should learn how to use fastboot and adb. I'd restore every thing to stock by flashing the factory images for your phone. See my post below:

I downloaded the factory image, unzipped in the same directory as fastboot and adb, restarted phone into bootloader, ran the commands, got <waiting for device> like the other guy in that post, already had the drivers but reinstalled anyway, updated driver in device manager--it sees it as Android 1, but has the correct driver and says is working properly--tried several different ways to flash the system.img, still get the <waiting for device> any suggestions?
thanks for your help by the way, really appreciate it.

It should say Android ADB Interface under ADB Interface in Device Manager. Mine says Samsung Android ADB Interface. The waiting for device is a driver issue. I've usually had to install drivers for it to recognize the phone in fastboot, even if it is already recognized by adb.

[Q] URGENT: Flashed Wrong Kernel To My Nexus 7 (flo)!

Hi guys. I recently flashed the Glitched Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449919) to my Nexus, but I accidently downloaded the wrong one. Not knowing this, I flashed it via TWRP and now my device crashes completely (my computer won't even recognize it) on the lock screen. I can still boot into the bootloader, TWRP, and MultiROM easily. I just can't boot up Cyanogenmod (Only rom I have on the device as of now). I really don't know what to do. I've tried connecting via USB in the bootloader, my computer won't even pick up the device. I've also tried adb sideload a new rom and a new kernel, but I get the error 'protocol fault (no status)' which is weird, because ADB recognizes my device (I typed the 'adb devices' command in CMD) How can I flash the stock kernel back onto it?
Thanks in advance,
~NascarBoy119

Just clean flash cyanogenmod again if you have the Rom as .zip on your device. If not use ADB to get a Rom for flashing on your device.

Restore your backup (nandroid).

I can't download anything to my device. ADB sideload won't work also (I get the error 'protocol fault [no status]), as I stated above.
Also @wantabe
Shortly before this I ran Clean Master on my device. Turned out it deleted my backups... After that, all this drama happened. Probably kinda my fault as I used the TWRP backup feature instead of NanDriod.

adb is your friend. There is plenty of opportunities. You could download a ROM on your computer and sideload or push it in adb. You could also download stock images and fastboot it in the bootloader. Simple...

anyways grab the gltiched kernel for your device this time.
then put your device i to recovery: up/down volume plus power when device is off
once in recovery type thus from your computer.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you will need to extract the image from the glitched-kernel.zip
no this will not wipe your data. it is the manual way of flashing a kernel.
hope that helps.

Fastboot is your friend in this case, as long as you didn't relock your bootloader you can flash without losing your data.

Not using cleanmaster to delete your backups was a lesson you learned the hard way, but it is not unrecoverable and you can chalk it up as a learning experience.
Let us know how it worked out, everything will be fine as long as you take your time and relax. This is something that happens to most people sooner or later and is a great confidence builder (once you work through it).

To avoid this I keep all my backups, zips and other flashaholic stuff on a USB drive mounted using an USB OTG cable. You can mount it and use it in recovery.

[Q] [VK810] Stuck in Fastboot. Need Boot Image

Hi.
As the title says, I have bricked my GPad and am stuck in Fastboot mode. I am able to pull up a command line on my computer and reboot the device from there, but that's about all I've tried. I have read online that there are commands for flashing a boot.img file, but I can't find one and I don't know how to do it. Do I wipe the device from my computer first, or just flash the .img file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
God Bless, Mark

The directions for installing are in the link I gave you, showing to push (put) the files in the proper places for your device.
You must have ADB installed on your home computer. There is a guide on how to do this in the general section ( second sticky post), or, if using Linux, the first post.
After ADB is installed, both the Loki patch and the recovery.IMG will need to be in the platform_tools folder in the ADB folder. In Linux this would be /opt/adb/platform_tools.
In either case, to install, you must open a terminal (prompt) in the path of the install, meaning you must open the terminal in platform_tools.
Then follow the commands in the recovery post to install both Loki, and the recovery.img

In either case, to install, you must open a terminal (prompt) in the path of the install, meaning you must open the terminal in platform_tools.
Then follow the commands in the recovery post to install both Loki, and the recovery.img

OK, Sleekmason, I put everything where it should be, but when I use the "adb" commands (adb push loki_flash...) I get "device not found" in terminal. As I said, I can reboot the GPad using "fastboot reboot" command, so it sees it in fastboot mode, but not in adb mode. I loaded the drivers during the adb install, so I'm pretty sure all of them are there. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to push the files to the GPad with fastboot?

That's the first thing I tried and it wouldn't recognize the GPad either. I loaded all the drivers, but no luck. Thanks for trying, dude.

not saying you should, but you could always try to flash the recovery just to see if it would work.

same problem, but how I fixed it
How I got bootloop'd - I was on a trip and tried to root/flash twrp from a chromebook and as you can tell the process did not work. I ended up trying to flashfly a 4.2.2 boot.img over a 4.4.2 setup. Not the best idea. Once I returned to my windows machine, I was able to flash via adb/fastboot tools. So I found this thread and wanted to help anyone else if they arrived here and read thru the posts.
I was stuck at the fastboot text base screen on my Gpad (VK810). I dl'd the LG tools, the LG driver & tried a KDZ recover, but I was unsuccessful. Fastboot would control my device, reboots worked, but when I run fastboot devices, I only saw a single ? where the device serial number is. After a few attempts at various methods, I ended up guessing which file I had to flash.
After dl'ding a few roms from here and extracting them, it took the boot.emmc.win and flash my boot.img with that. worked with the following code and now I'm up and running.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
followed by
Code:
fastboot reboot
this worked for me and could work for you, but I can only say that it worked when I was able to access my tablet via fastboot commands.

Downgrade aboot
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
exit
exit[/HTML]
I am not able to do the above after installing Lollipop because can't get root, specifically can't update binaries in supersu and no su. Also Adbd Insecure not working. Now I am able to get into fastboot, strangely thru factory reset. Can I use 'fastboot flash aboot aboot.img' instead. Many thanks.

Sir or m'am, in the future, you shouldn't post the same thing in two different threads.

You are not bricked.
In order to update to the new OTA you need to go back to fully stock LCB43B image. That means flashing stock boot, recovery and system. BUT unfortunately there's a problem when trying to flash the stock system.img in bootloader. So you have to boot into TWRP, use adb push to get the system.img file onto your internal memory and then flash it using adb shell commands. Use this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63173308
Then reboot to bootloader and flash the stock recovery and boot files.
Next, download the OTA and reboot into stock recovery (not TWRP) in order to update using adb sideboard. Use the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65607393
Hit thanks if this has helped.

Flashing system.img using the latest fastboot from the official Android SDK worked just fine for me.

No.
Boot to bootloader and type "fastboot flash system system.img"
You should not be in recovery trying to fastboot flash. It will not work.
Latest SDK is fine on Windows 10. Make sure you use the fastboot and ADB from the latest SDK.

I was stuck for last 12 hours and watch was in bootloop. i tried flashin again and agin . Scott i love you :laugh:
i think it was that i was using old adb and fastboot. the latest ones helped. Also there is no need to flash twrp. Even if you get file sparce issue.
Salute to You :good::good::good:
Now i am back to LCB43B will try to update to 1.4 via stock recovery now

Yeah, the ADB / Fastboot changed with Lolipop. Anything pre-lolipop will give issues.

I've never flashed anything onto my watch, but yesterday after recharging the battery after it going dead, I get stuck at the 4 dots boot animation. I'm able to reboot the watch, and even get into the normal fastboot menu, but clearing cache, data, and resetting to default doesn't help. I'm really hoping what you guys are doing will fix the trick for me. I simply want to return the watch to stock, but I'm seeing conflicting reports on how to proceed with this.
I've downloaded the Android SDK, but have never used it before. I keep hearing things about adb, and flashing system.img using the latest fastboot - I don't know where to find either of these or how to use them. Would you awesome people mind doing a little hand holding with me and give me a bit of detail on how to proceed with the solution from C3C076?
EDIT: So I think I figured it out myself, albiet with the wisdom gained from you awesome folk. I used fastboot to push the 6.0.1 boot and system images from this thread, and things seem back to normal. I haven't rebooted the watch yet, since I didn't load the 6.0.1 recovery image (the only part of the watch that had worked since the problem started), and I'm not sure if I'm going to have the problem reoccur once it does reboot. If anyone has insight on how to best proceed given the steps I've taken so far, it'd be greatly appreciated.

If fastboot flashing boot and system images went well, you can safely reboot your watch. First boot might take a while but it should boot OK.

This DUDE RIGHT HERE. Did it. This was the missing piece. My fastboot files simply weren't good enough. x!!
Android SDK Platform Tools did the trick for me.
