hey all
got a gsm GNEX that was stuck on bootloop.
have tried every way to unbrick it i could find flashing with odin, rootkit and fastboot and adb... have flashed android 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 and CM-11
same thing happens everytime every seperate flash the phone will reboot 5-10 times then say "updating apps" will finish that and go into a constant bootloop...
im wondering if the phone is either hardbricked or if its a hardware failure.
any help would be great
cheers
Hardware failure. Your internal memory is fried. Try to lock the bootloader. If its still unlocked on boot, you know it for sure.

Thats a good sign. Back up everything and unlock it again. Then try to flash the stock rom via fastboot. Without any toolkits!

Did you use the flash-all.bat or did you flash everything manually? The lines could be an electrical issue or its an issue with the screen..

Ok so here's my issue ... I flashed cm9 and then went to Jellytime however when I went to go back to cm9 I got smacked with the error message MAGIC VALUE MISMATCH at the boot screen. I won't let me do anything! I'm not a expert but I have been using android since the G1 so I'm pretty confident with my way around this kind of stuff. I tried flashing into recovery and using adb yet nothing seems to work it would only give me a message saying waiting for device. I simply feel defeated and helpless with the monster ... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
I am assuming you are using the unlocked bootloader? Can you get into fastboot?

no .. anytime i try to run something thru the command it just reads waiting for device
That shouldn't ever occur on the a200 boot loader in unlocked mode. Its possible the boot loader was locked again, not sure what process you did to flash to cm9 again.
Power on holding volume up and see if it goes into download mode.

hey guys i'm having an issue going into recovery mode, via fast booth after i unlock the boot loader.
i made a youtube video of what happens from start to finish. basicley, after i unlock the boot loader i can no longer get into my android os, or fast boot, or recovery. my phone is 'soft bricked' and the only way to come back from this is to go into download mode and reflash z7 image.
ive tried using rom manager to get into recovery after unlocking the boot loader but it still does the same thing after restart, a quick flash of the LG logo and a black screen that doesnt seem to every go away.
if you have 8-10 minutes can you please watch my video, i go thru step by step what i do to downgrade to z7 to unlocking boot loader.

I just unlocked my phone this morning with no problem. I think your problem is your unlocking with your computer and then running the unlock app on your phone. Try unlocking with just the app.

which recovery are you using?
That's all I did. I've been rooted for a while, yesterday I got the freegee app from the play store ran it and picked twrp for my recovery.
My phone is now unlocked running stock rooted v9. Have you went to irc for help?

Did you do OTA v9? There are rooting problems with that. The devs have suggested you root stock v8 and then flash the v9 rooted image from the forums.
Yeah sorry I should of specificed that I flashed the deodexed stock rom from the forums.

I just rooted/S-off a Dinc2 that I am setting up for my mother, using the "Comprehensive S-off/Rooting Guide". I have not flashed any ROMs or anything. When I boot the phone, it boots up past the white HTC screen to the unlock screen and then starts bootlooping. If I go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe everything, then it boots normally. However, when I try to restart the same bootloop starts to happen until I wipe again.
Any thoughts as to what could be causing this? I'm hesitant to flash any custom ROMs until I get this resolved.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to be a dunce but can you point me to the radio and instructions for flashing? Is this a regular flash from recovery or does it involve SDK, adb stuff?

Actually in the guide for S-off/Root I believe that the .312 radio is included. So I should already have .312 radio.
Well, I flashed a custom ROM and the same problem still persists. It will boot as far as the unlock screen and then it will start bootlooping until I do a factory reset in recovery, then it will boot fine.
Any ideas?
I had radio .312. I flashed .320 and the problem as been resolved, no more bootloops.
theres a radio section in the dev forum. put on root of sdcard as pg32img and go into bootloader and follow the screen instructions

Yeah, just got back to this was gonna tell you, just make sure and delete that file now, cause if you don't every time you try and go in recover mode by holding down volume up and power, it will try and install it again

Can you get into fastboot ? If you can there is still hope and it isnt BRICKED ....... Fastboot usb ... fastboot flash recovery again , then flash a correct rom . if recovery still isnt working try fastboot reboot recovery ..... and you may have to RUU . but as long as you have fastboot you still have a fighting chance .
I've tried to just flash the recovery through boot loader. Does the same thing. I'll try fast boot reboot recovery. How do I RUU? Can I flash a rom in fast boot?

We don't have that ROM? You flashed a sprint rom? You flashed the wrong kernel flash arom for this phone and you are fixed. You are not bricked until you cannot turn on your phone

Hey guys,
I had a very similar problem happen, do you think you could post your solution on the forum? I can get into bootloader and i'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I'm on a macbook does that mean I can't use the RUU?
I don't mean to be mean, but how do people keep flashing the wrong roms?
Just curious

I would REALLY start reading about all the things NOT to do with an S-OFF phone if you think you bricked your phone on a bootloop.
I honestly don't want to see your beautiful phone actually get BRICKED. which means just that it's a brick.. it doesn't turn on, no charge light ANYTHING, that is a brick. And can happen, but if you are careful you will be fine. but Not knowing how to flash an RUU and what a bootloop is, those are things you should learn BEFORE you S-OFF. Just don't want to see you end up with an actual Brick.

Hey on the positive side if you brick it you can re-enforce your home...
Lol! Learned allot in the past week. Andy, everything you said is on point. I took the time to read and learn and you'll be happy to know I'm now running TWRP with bone stock. I now have a better understanding of it all. I have rooted and unlocked many phones. Eris my first. But this is my first S-off and thanks to all the help from xda members like yourselves I know what I have.

Hi, i have this annoying problem since i updated my Paranoid Android version, from 4.6 beta 2 to beta 3. My phone started randomly slowing down and then rebooting. I tried flashing diffrent Roms, wiping cache, n stuff, but it still does the thing. I've heard that it is probably an issue with the EMMC chip, but im not sure. :crying:
Lock the bootloader. If its still unlocked upon reboot your emmc is fried.

I locked it, there is no lock on the google logo, and it has the locked status in the bootloader, but the issue is still there
Then try to flash the latest Factory image after unlocking the bootloader again. Zee if that helps.
