Hello to all
I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 stock and unlocked.
It worked perfectly to two years! From yesterday i have problem with it! My GN won't boot anymore, I can see just google and X (nexus) logo after that GN restart itself! This is repeated without stopping until I put out battery.
I have tried to clear cache, wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode but problem has continued!
I have unlocked bootloader and update to android 4.3 stock (non rooted) through ADB (google SDK), updated successfully but when phone has reboot problem has continued, GN restart non-stop!
In Fastboot mode/Recovery Mode phone it never restarted! I have left in this mode with hours to try if restarted but no It works without any problems in this mode! It restart only when phone boot up!
Can this problem to be hardware failure or not?!
Can anyone help me? What can i do to boot my GN again?
I hope in your your support

Don't panic, this problem is called bootloop and it's normal. Just download factory images from here and flash them by using this awesome guide by efrant!!
Also bookmark this link for future reference.

started having the same problem yesterday after 6 months of stability on a custom 4.3 rom.
oem lock then unlock to format, nothing, tried various methods of flashing back to stock via ADB with mixed results, normally more boot looping with it occasionally booting into a rom for ~5 seconds. so SOMETHING is working.
I tried Efrant's method about an hour ago, but its been sitting at the google logo since, I'm at a lost, I'm no stranger to boot loops when installing borked roms but this is the strangest problem I have ever had with an android device.
should I just chock it up to hardware failure?
Mostly yours USERDATA partition is corrupted.
Use FASTBOOT to reflash the USERDATA IMG and it should do the trick.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
did a total stock reflash again, got to the setup screen before it rebooted after ~15 seconds, bootlooping again. flashed the userdata img with a few different ones.
I'm trying to read my logcat but when I run the ADB command in clockwork It finds nothing.
I've done all steps by this awesome guide by efrant! But same problem here
I've tried to install 4.2.2 stock, 4.3 stock, all comands works but in the end when i press fastboot reboot my nexus it's in bootloop again restart restart and restart
Any other solutions :crying::crying::crying:
I've waited about 30 minutes after restarting non-stop, my GN boot to system i saw home screen of android but after 5 sec restarted again :crying:
I'm getting into my system once every 10 or so reboots. managed to turn off wifi in case that was the problem but still boot looping. I'm inclined to think it might be hardware related as I started having trouble in the middle of a text after several months of rom stability.

I brought my Nexus Prime from Korea last month.
A few hours ago I was listening to music on my phone when it rebooted. After that it came back on for roughly 10 seconds before rebooting again.
I uninstalled a game from my phone roughly 30 minutes before this error happened.
I cannot use my phone now, I get a few seconds of use out of it before its stuck in a continuous reboot cycle.
I have tried letting it cool down (it was a hot day), removing the simcard and changing batteries. Not sure what else I can do with only a few seconds of use.
Model number - SHW-M420S
Is anyone able to help me get out of this reboot cycle?
Try to back up important things and do factory reset. Is your phone rooted? CWM recovery installed? If so, before doing factory restore you could try wiping cache/dalvik cache first.
Sent from my super Galaxy Nexus plus®
Luckily its still a new phone, so there isn't much on it.
The phone is rooted in that I cannot access it in any way. Even connecting to a computer is useless as its only on for a few seconds before it reboots itself.
CWM recovery isn't installed, will be when the phone is working again though!
Is there a way to wipe the cache/dalvik cache or factory reset while the phone is off?
fastboot will allow you to erase data,userdata, as well as flash a custom recovery like cwm or a full rom.

edit: boot your device with POWER+VOLUP+VOLDOWN into fastboot. search google and/or xda for some fastboot tutorials.
I had this problem awhile back. It was a bum phone with hardware issue. I had to exchange it. Yours may be in the same boat.
I will try a fastboot later today and let you know the outcome, thank you.
If all else fails I'll send it back to Korea for new hardware I guess.
I ran into this problem a while ago. I had to restore the phone to stock using the image from Google. Haven't had a problem since
Dear XDA,
I have tried all I can to fix this problem. Let me explain how it all started.
I was using my phone normally, running the same custom rom ive been running for the past 6 months. I went to turn on wifi then turned off the screen. Later when i went to check my phone the screen would not turn on, so i performed a battery pull. After that i saw the normal google boot screen and then the custom rom boot screen. It stayed on that screen for a few seconds and then went back to the google boot screen. It then did this over and over, ive left it on for an hour once and it kept doing the same thing. Only way to stop this is with battery pull.
So what can i do with the phone:
I can access fastboot
I can access download mode
What have i tried:
I tried the following methods:
1) Flashing a Back Up
2) Wiping data, flashing a rom and gapps
3) fastboot adb http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13819-how-tovzw-return-to-factory-state-unroot-and-relock/
4) ODIN http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27050-vzwodin-files-needed-for-odin-winstructions/
The same issue continues even after successfully completing these methods. Im now down to my last strand and hoping the great xda community can help me.

Fastboot seems the best solution to me. What exactly went wrong? Also you could try a OMAP flash.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
To be honest I have no idea what happened. It happened out of no where didn't flash a new rom or anything. OMAP flash? Never heard of it but I'll definitely look into it and try it. I've tried fastboot method and still got the same problem sadly
Really hoping this isn't a hardware issue
I just tried an OMAP Flash and still have the same problem. Ive moved on to a new phone but I still want to get this one working. Any other ideas to fix this problem?
Got into the same problem as yours. I googled around, and most people fix this problem by flashing stock image. Basically wipe your phone clean, e.g system,data,cache etc. and then flash in the stock image u downloaded from google website throught fastboot mode. I tried that method, but my phone is still stuck in bootloop. You can give it a try and see if it works
Okay, so after I helped many people with their Galaxy Nexus problems, is my time to ask for help.
Yesterday while I was browsing the internet on my phone, it suddenly just stopped and started too bootloop. I thought it was just because I installed Xposed Framework couple of minutes ago(like 40-50). I tried to factory reset from recovery but didn't work. I just put the phone down and went for a sleep. Today when I woke up I tried to install the Google Factory Images 4.3 takju for maguro. The weird thing is that the phone noew boots until the X logo but then just restarts after flashing white for one milisecond. I tried to repeat the process using Nexus Root Toolkit but no succes either. I noticed that once the phone managed to boot up until the PIN code request screen and then it did the same thing. I'm out of ideas now, and if I can get any help I would be greatful.
PM: I was running Shiny ROM 4.4.4 at the time when this happened with the latest franco.Kernel.
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA0nbmPXE7w thsi is the exact same issue that I am having except I don't get to browse the phone, it just restarts during the X logo boot
I vaguely recall messing with build.prop a while back, but it seemed to reboot and work fine after that (I added some lines from xiaomi's miui to see if I could convince it to install some Xiaomi only apps. ) So that may or may not be related.
Battery drained to 0% a day or two ago. Went to boot it up.
Google logo and unlocked bootloader symbol, then nothing. Just hangs on a black screen with the backlight on forever.
I can reboot into fastboot mode, recover, clear cash, and so on. However when I plug it into USB it is not recognized as an adb or fastboot device... I also can't get it to appear as a mobile device. Just nothing.
How do I flash a stock image onto the device If the device isn't recognized? Any ideas?
By the way, nexus 7 2013 wifi with version 6.0.0 MRA56k. I never installed the 6.0.1 update as I was rooted. :crying:
Never mind, fixed with Wugs force flash. Not before trying a stock/flash in recovery and whiping user data first like a dumbass though. Uhg. It's going to be a long day.
My Nexus 5x that was running 8.1 just randomly turned off yesterday and won't boot into android. Sometime later i tried to turn it back on and it worked and it turned off by itself 2 mins later. i somehow manged it to get into fastboot mode and I then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the stock firmware . But that did not help at all , in fact the phone was now completely dead and it only goes into fastboot sometimes while the other times it being stuck in a bootloop . while luckily when it went into fastboot, i have tried installing different boot images like boot4core but it still wont do anything its really weird,sometimes it doesn't respond to any key combination while sometimes it would go normally into fastboot. Need help , i Have no clue!! plzzz
Same Problem here! Running 8.1 and tap Uppdate Chrome and Alexa App, that the Phone freez and Reboot. After reboot he try to load the apps but freez. Now it wont boot to system and recovery say no command. When i now will enter Recovery the Phone reboots.
No open bootloader and no root. Stock 8.1 Rom from Google
Edit: Try to start Phone in Secure Mode (When Google Logo Popps up press Volume -) Say the System is Corrupt and do a Factory Reset. After Reset the Phone stuck on Boot too
Edit Edit: OK think thats the CPU Hardware Bug. Phone dont start anymore...

My daughters phone just started doing the same thing this morning. Haven't gone through any tests yet, but it is constantly restarting. Can't get it to go into recovery through normal means.
