Galaxy Nexus keeps rebooting

Today when i got home i turned on Wifi and suddenly my phone went into a boot loop.. It doesnt get past the "Google" logo at the beginning and just keeps rebooting every 5 seconds.. I have tried doing a hardreset restoring to factory settings but that didnt work.. It is rooted.
Can anyone help me fix this?:/

What Rom/Kernel are you on? Can you get it into download mode? Have you tried restoring a Nandroid? Have you tried a fresh install?

I had the CM9 3/29 nightly running. Had the phone in desktop mode all night. This morning it started rebooting after coming to the home screen, and then situation is getting worse, it reboots after every boot. I had a good CM9 nandroid back up, restored and still doing the same thing.
CM9 nightly, no separate kernel, just some tweaks and was @1350 under performance.
Can there be some hardware damage?
Help please!!

Was your phone continuously on, and got hot by any chance?

Don't run performance governor. Also just do a full wipe system and data and flash a known stable CM9 build. That should get you up and running.

Done, no go there. One thing I am noticing is a "pop" sound just before it reboots

This happened to me 2 months ago. The way I fixed it was by putting it into download mode and flashing 4.0.1 YAKJU via the ODIN file found on the Samsung German website. Phone has been good ever since. *knock on wood*
EDIT: BTW, after that, I updated to 4.0.2 OTA normally, and since then, I've been manually updating because I rooted my phone.

Yes thats the only way to do it.
Installed the rootkit 5.6 and downloaded the 4.0.4 into the corresponding folder.
Sure wiped my phone completely, but I don't have a $600 paper weight.
Thanks all!

[Q] Stuck on bootloader after changing screen density with Rom Toolbox

Hey guys. As the title suggests, I can't boot my Note 2 (sgh-i317). It is stuck on the AT&T logo and while it's stuck there it vibrates slightly every 5-6 seconds. I tried changing my screen density to 240 and it worked for a bit but annoed me. then I went to change it back and got this problem. I accidentally set it to 360 I think though, instead of 320. I have wiped the cache. I have wiped the data. I have installed roms countless times already with Odin. I'd imagine my reset counter is at over 10 just from today.
I've been searching on google and these forums for hours and have seen many suggestions, but none of them have worked. The farthest I have gotten was to get the phone to boot, but once I start going through all the setup stuff I begin getting error popups saying that Touchwiz home has stopped responding. As soon as I push OK the error immediately pops up again. I seriously can not do anything with my phone.
Is there any way to get a stock build.prop file somewhere for this phone, and if so, how would I install it if I can't even boot into the device?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have no idea where else to turn here. Thanks!
-Mark

Do you have a backup to restore from recovery ??
If not....then power down the device and remove the SD card and place it into a PC card adapter...
Then download or copy over a suitable rom...
Then place the SD into the phone and boot into recovery...
Fully wipe the device and flash the rom of choice...
Reboot....set....profit....g
Edit:
Are you certain that your power button is not stuck ?
If the method I suggested fails... and rebooting occurs with vibration...then your power button is suspect....g

Thanks. Well I got it to boot finally, however there's been a couple issues since. It's on 4.1.2 right now...
1. Whenever I try to officially update to 4.3 through the settings, it downloads, then when installing it ALWAYS fails at 25%.
2. This is a big issue. My data connectivity is gone. I have no 4g access period. If I'm not using a wifi network, I can't do anything online, period. I've reflashed numerous times, and can't get it to recognize the network. I can make calls just fine, just no data.
I've tried wiping data and going to factory reset, but this doesn't help in any way whatsoever. I've popped out the battery and sim card and reinserted after a few minutes, still to no avail.
The funny thing also, last night my friend, who has the same phone, updated to 4.3 and got the EXACT issues I've been dealing with. The ONLY thing in common is that we have both rooted our phones in the past. When I first got 4.3 it worked fine. It wasn't until I rooted that these issues began. My friend's phone was not rooted, however it had been in the past. I'm thinking that this 4.3 update has an issue with phones that are rooted or have been at some time. I don't know how it can tell, but that's all I can think of. his phone now is also a doorstop, like mine.

K, fixed data connectivity from another thread here. For some reason, even if I wipe my system, it seems to still keep settings intact. In this case, nothing set in APN. Seems the more I try to fix my phone, the more problems show up.

If you updated to official 4.3...then yes ...a whole new host of problems are yours until the devs figure out the locked bootloader and it's knox flag...
Backups won't restore....and so forth...
Read around ....you'll see...g

Random reboots after update

So I installed the latest update for my T520 10.1 (which just added the kids mode) and now my tablet does random reboots all the time. Probably at least once an hour. I am running stock rom with root. I did have the cybertronic kernel installed and thought maybe it was causing the reboots. So I Odin'd back to stock, and am still having reboots. Anyone else experiencing this? (I did clear cache and factory reset)

hi,
I have exactly the same problem after the updates T520XXUANF4 (with last CF-Auto-Root)
Ditto after a factory reset ...
return to T520XXUAND1

I think reboots are kernel security related as my note pro 12.2 was rebooting several times a day after root and removing Knox, now I'm re rooted with Knox and no reboots in over 24 hours.

So I had frozen all the knox files with titanium backup. I went in and unfroze them a couple hours ago. No reboots since. Crossing my fingers that it works.
edit: still lots of reboots, so I chose to go with a custom rom.

Same here on the reboots! My device is no longer rooted after the previous update, which worked great. Only MagazineWidget, WatchOn and Screen Saver are turned off. Since I wasn't planning to root again I can't use Titanium Backup, but I'm assuming that whatever I froze there would show up in Application Manager in the "Turned Off' tab? The Knox application still shows the "download" icon b/c I never installed it.
I checked the Sammobile site, but it looks like it doesn't show U.S. firmware. Anyone know how I can get back to the previous update?

i am running stock which is not my normal staus but have never had a reboot on latest update or previous versions. just wanted to throw that out there.

have reload T520XXUANF4 and it's ok if you answered no to supersu when he wants to disable knox
no reboot after 24 hour

ps ; who speaks better English than me to explain the problem to Chainfire?

From my reading, I think you can use the firmware for Cellular South on sammobile. Or you can use the one from this link and follow his directions. The firmware is for France, but gives you the option for English language. I have used it several times myself.

Also having random reboots after latest update. I was able to root using the same Chainfire file as I did with the previous firmware.
Sent telepathically to my Galaxy S4

So after using a custom rom for a few days, I really wanted to go back to the stock rooted rom. Here is my procedure. Maybe some of the steps were unnecessary, but in the end it worked. No more reboots!
I first went into twrp and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Then I did a factory reset. Then used Odin to load the stock rom. Went into stock recovery and did another factory reset. Then went thru the process of installing the updates. After the updates I rooted then did another factory reset and cleared cache. I had a random reboot shortly after that when I was restoring everything on the tablet. . But that was over 7 hours ago. No more reboots!

Factory reset and staying on stock worked for me. No random reboots since I did this yesterday.

Thought I'd contribute with having the same issue - TabPro 8.4 here (T320).
Stock NG2 ROM, but I was having reboots from NF2 as well.
I'll do a factory reset and try again, see if it helps.

May I ask which rom you went with? I'm experiencing the same problem and am trying to figure out which rom to install in order to get rid of the reboots.

Wiped data, rooted and said no to disabling Knox - no reboots yet!

I tried all that were available. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I finally went back to rooted stock because I had a few apps that wouldn't work with the custom roms. Look a few posts earlier about doing the factory resets.

Solution Found
I updated my T520 from NAE to NG1 using Odin and rerooted it with CF method and I was experiencing random reboots. I did tow things:
1. I defrosted the knox notifications in TB (I had disabaled it when super user asked me to...)
2. I went to SuperSU app's settings under cleanup I tapped reinstall and followed the given commands there...
I have not had any reboots since 2 days ago. :fingers-crossed:
I just wanted to share this with those that are having random reboots. Give it a try... hopefully It will work

I flashed scrosler's stockish ROM and also haven't had any reboots in two days according to bootlog uptime. Woot!

As already mentioned, "defrosting" Knox with TB und skiping Chainfires SuperSu notification worked for me on CFrooted stock ROM. No reboots anymore

This appears to have solved my rebooting problem, too.

Another Solution
My T320 was rooted only once with TowelRoot and I disabled Knox when I was prompted and never tripped it. The soft reboots started happening and I searched all over for a solution but cannot remember where I had found talk of it. I haven't had any problems ever since I did it in the middle of July. I installed Xposed Installer and then installed the Samsung Kitkat SystemServer Crash Fix module which apparently was developed for the S4.

No call connection until restart and no rom change

I have 2 problems.
First since a month mine and my wife's phone started to have no connection after dialing some number. We both have the same issue. Let's say I hit to call my friend Tony. SO after pressing name I see connection sceen, I see time of conversation, I see bars but no voice. The person I call to hears me. I tried with different people. Same issue on both phones.
After restart calling is normal. Airplane mode off/on doesn't help.
On June 2014 we finally decided to switch roms. So since then we have Cyanogenmod 10.2.0-hercules (4.3.1). It was alright, beside problems with camera, 30% of photos and videos have defects /artefacts.
SO I thought maybe changing rom will help.
I spent whole day on searching stock roms but all files are deleted and i can't find neither one of last 4 versions.
So I thought I will change rom to earlier version of Cyanogemod. It didn't help.
Today I spent few hours too and finally decided to change rom to 4.4.2 | HellKat (first that succesfully wanted to download).
Something went wrong.
I thought I was doing everything right and there are no tricky parts but I guess I forgot to do something or... maybe something is wrong with my phone.
So I'm using TWRP. First I hit "factory reset", then "advanced wipe" and and wiped everything beside sdcard.
Then I installed my new rom, after few seconds, it shows "failed"
So I wiped everything again and tried to restore my backed up rom.
It showed "failed"
SO I wiped everything again and installed my current rom.
It shows "failed".
I started to worry and to think that I just want my old phone back, at least it works... sometimes.
I hit reboot, wipe, and install again my current rom.
Success. (Maybe reboot after wipe is needed? or maybe it's coincidense)
Finally.
I hit reboot and installed gapps.
So I was almost happy that i could go back to where I was.
Not quite...
I started to download my apps.
On second one screen went black.
Actually it powered off.
I tried to turn it on but it was only showing Samsung logo and black screen after that.
I went to TWRP, wipe, install current rom 3 times.
It seems that restart after installing makes phone bad and I can only see black screen without even booting. Ewentually I found out that now I have 60% chance that if I hit reboot I won't be able to come back to my system.
I will have just black screen and the only way to have working phone is install new rom again and not restarting.
Or maybe it's just coincidence but I don't have time to play and spend another hour on wiping, installing rom and the gapps and apps.
I hope you guys see some stupidity or some detail in what i did wrong.
I hope that maybe one of you will actually will be able toi help me with chagning rom the right way or to fix that connection issue.

same, sort of.
I have similar issue. I cant make calls unless i reboot. And it seems when i open an amount of apps, the calls just dont work. I dont know what to do.

Make sure you're on the latest TWRP, earlier versions will not successfully flash newer roms.
As for the voice thing, did you have snapchat installed? It's been reported to occur when you have snapchat installed.

Funny fact, before you wrote we have been testing our phones and found out that it is actually snapchat who makes a problem wih calling. We uninstalled it from botrh phones and 3 days it is ok
I will install new TWRP , hopefully there is newer version.

Just a heads up, Google Hangouts Dialer has the same effect as Snapchat as well.

Is there any way to avoid this? i use snapchat often, and removing it would be a loss :/

There's an older version of Snapchat that works without booking your audio. Search the threads for it. If I come across it anytime soon, I'll return with the link.

[HELP] Google Play Store stuck on white screen and many more google related issues

So I have recently bought a new Lg G3 D856. I used it for the first week flawlessly but after a week or so, google play started showing issues.
So play store is just stuck on white screen. I tried clearing cache and restarting. It works, but temporarily. After a few hours, the issue arises again. Also gmail wont load, it just circles around. Moreover, facebook is also stuck on load-loop too. I have no idea what this issue is about, but it's extremely frustrating.
I've tried factory resetting. It worked smoothly for a week, and now im having the same issues again.
If anyone could help me out. :/

If you know how to root flash recovery and roms then do it. If factory reset didn't fix your problem then it seems your firmware broken. Flash a custom ROM.

Is there any possibility that the firmware will be fixed with the Android M update? I dont want to flash custom ROM this quick.
