Hi guys, i have a problem with my gnex D:. what has happened is i have downloaded the gnex root toolkit and tried to unlock my phone, then my gnex turned off while the program said it was restarting the phone into bootloader and then poof my phone has a black screen and nothing happens. then after this my phone is now in a state where if i turn it on it will vibrate and show the google logo like normal but after that it has a black screen and well.... nothing and the only way to turn the phone back on is to pull out the battery make sure the charger isn't plugged in and then put the battery back in the phone and either boot up the phone so it'll do the soft brick thing with the google screen or boot into bootloader where to my knowledge nothing can be done to fix the problem. someone please help cause i just got it back from waiting 3 weeks for repairs then coming home and capoot it's dead :'(
EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention it is a samsung galaxy nexus running jellybean 4.3 JWR66Y GSM
EDIT 2: problem resolved, turns out it was just a simple corrupted boot.img file

Hi I have this problem my samsung galaxy nexus wont unlock. The phone worked fine 10 minuts ago then clicked the power bottom to unlock but it just stays black screen
and i have to pull out the battery and turn it on aging and there is 75% battery left so that's not the problem
after a hard reboot with pulling out the battery, you still can't unlock your phone?
fine
after a battery pullout i will unlock fine but it's just thet some times theres is no response when i click the power bottum to get to the unlock screen and the only option is to pull out the battery
is your phone rooted? if so, go to cwm, backup, and flash a clean rom. Then if it works, try restoring from ur backup
Not rooted
The phone is not rooted and totaly like origina. I tried to root the phone but it dient worked beacuse the fastboot driver wuldent install so no change at the phone it think but culd it be that, that is causing the problem
same here
I had the same problem once three weeks ago. The Gal N would just not respond to the power button. I had to pull the battery AND the SIM card. It has never happened again since then.
All stock phone, no root, no unlocked bootloader
Sounds like 'sleep of death', there's a thread on it - eta here:

It seemed to be some app stopping the phone waking up, for some ? lightflow, others ? juice defender. I stopped following the thread so I don't know if a definitive fix was found.
You could try a factory reset and see if that fixes it...
Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm running a non-rooted, GSM, stock 4.0.1 Galaxy nexus. My phone restarted on its own and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop. I did several battery pulls to turn the phone off. Turning it on again, it gets stuck in the boot loop never reaching the homescreen.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Well you could grab an Odin flash file and reset your phone from download mode. When powering on the fone hold volume down and power.
Also could hold both volume buttons and power when turning on to go into fast boot mode where you could try flashing a stock image through fastboot from your pc

How do I even get the files on the phone?

Get into a bootloader and factory reset your phone.
It was happening to my gn everytime I put it in my pocket. Why I don't know. I put my gn in perfectly working condition in my pocket and when I pulled it out wanting to, say, take a picture, it was looping.
Been to the store, called tech supp... nobody knows why.
That all stopped after I unlocked, rooted and flashed a custom rom. Not one crash ever since (10 days)
Thanks man. I just brought it back to the store and they replaced it.
anybody knows how to back up my pictures/movies. I got also the boot loop issue and I first want to secure my files before resetting... My GN is not rooted or modded whatsoever.

I', afraid it's not possible without root and CWM.
Hi,
I have a really tough problem with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. After I boot it up it shows the Google logo and then the screen goes black. It is still on because I have left it there hoping it would pass this screen but the battery died eventually. If I put the phone into a computer I get the charging screen and it will charge. I can get into fastboot mode. I have tried unlocking the device so I could flash a new ROM but as soon as I use the Gnex toolkit to unlock it, the fastboot mode reboots and it is locked again. When the device is plugged into the computer in fastboot mode Windows is constantly giving the noise that something is plugged in than unplugged then plugged in, on and on and on. I have put it in Odin mode and flashing the 4.04 image ROM looked like it worked but still after the phone reboots it just shows the Google Logo and then goes black. I have gotten into the stock recovery and wiped data and cache and that did not help either. Any help would be appreciated!
Nick

I followed that and afterwards my screen still comes up black after the Google logo.
I just tried to install TWRP recovery to see if that would help. I went through all of the fastboot commands and they said they completed successfully. When the phone rebooted the stock android recovery was still on the device... so for some reason this phone is taking the commands and they are getting returned as successful but they are not successful... super strange.
Sorry I can't help you but I've read several reports (forum posts) about Galaxy Nexus devices becoming "read only". I think the eMMC got bricked and can't be fixed.

Correct, seems highly likely his eMMC deep fried. If unlocking bootloader doesn't even work, I would try nothing else and get its mainboard replaced.
Thanks. Now that I know, I can stop wasting my time trying to fix this.
In need of help!
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus. I have been having many problems since it was rooted (will not connect to Google I think...? WiFi signal grey), but if possible I'd like to keep it rooted. I used Nexus root toolkit and SuperSU seemed to mess everything up. For a while after I uninstalled SuperSU it worked OK. Then later they WiFi signal went gray again so I factory reset this morning. Internet seemed to work (even though it was still gray) so I went about finding replacements for Google apps online because my Google apps didn't work(Google play, YouTube, etc). About an hour later suddenly my screen froze then my phone crashed. When I attempted to restart it stayed on the blue, green, red, yellow, X for 2hrs. I decided to pull the battery and put it in boot loader. Instead of what boot loader normally says it instead said "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" When I tried to use the volume keys to change the "Start" sign it did nothing. My only option (I think) was to press the power/sleep button to try to turn it on. Just like before though, it stayed in boot loop.
I'm sorry if this was too long... I'm new to XDA, could somebody please help me?
Thank you
Oh and this whole time I didn't have any form of superuser installed...
Can anyone help?
Does anybody know what to do? Please help me!
Hey all,
So like about a year ago I installed twrp and rooted my one m8s and couldn't care less to update anything but everything was working fine.
Recently I bought a new phone so today I thought lets wipe the device and factory reset it. Well thats where it went wrong.
After the reset it tried to boot but was just stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo.
I then held the power + vol up, which triggered something and showed an other logo for a second then just going dark, but the device is still on and backlit.
I cant get out of this for some reason neither will the device turn off. When i connect it to my pc it gets recognized but I cant get into storage.
Also adb and fastboot won't see the device and the htc_fastboot.exe I got from here throws an adbwinapi.dll missing error.
I am really stuck on what to do and i was hoping maybe someone could help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bart
EDIT: got the phone to turn off when the battery died and was able to boot into fastboot from there, lets see where this gets me.
EDIT #2: Welp I fixed it I suppose. If someone please could remove this thread since I can't
