This has happened a couple of times. I have the wifi flo Nexus 7 which is unlocked running stock. I got the 5.0 update a while ago and it started getting stuck at the google screen every once in a while. After being stuck at the screen for 10 to 15 minutes, the device would boot up OK. This happened around every 2 weeks or so but it would always boot up eventually. Last week I got the 5.0.2 update and this morning my nexus froze at the google screen. But, it never continued to boot up. I was in a permanent google screen freeze. I couldn't get to recovery. I tried wugfresh and eventually I got to the prone android with the exclamation point. I don't know what I did but all of a sudden it booted up.
Can anyone clue me in as to what is happening. It seems to be lollipop. Any thoughts?

Hi, I have a completely stock GSM GN on 4.1.1 and just since two days ago I have been getting random reboots. Only reason I can even tell is because I have my phone encrypted (lost phone and my data is in a strangers hands? No thanks) so every time it happens it sits at the prompt for me to input the password.
I initially tried clearing the dalvik-cache and that didn't work. So, I did a complete wipe and reflashed the stock images via the GN Toolkit. That also didn't work. Finally, I went through and uninstalled all apps that were installed or updated within the last week of August and it still didn't work.
I am at wits end here. I've owned my GNexus since the beginning of July and never had a problem like this. Any suggestions would be recommended.
EDIT:
I have also noticed that while I am using the device the screen sometimes flickers black for a second and then comes back on. Its not like the CRT Off animation you get when you hit the power button, just simply the screen goes black and then a second later comes back
Just bumping because I changed the issue from a hot restart to a proper reboot since I just got it doing a full at "Google" image reboot. Once it did just do a "Nexus Logo" reboot though.
Hi, I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013 edition) on Stock Android 4.4 Kit Kat and I've had a problem for a while now. The problem is that my phone and tablet reboot themselves and then works normally for 10 seconds to a minute when it boots up and it crashes and reboots itself, and it keeps doing that, over and over. It's a loop. It starts when my phone reboots on itself and on my Nexus 7 it will disconnect from my home Wifi and if you reboot the tablet, it does the same thing. This is my 5th time with this problem and I can't find out why it happens. This has happened to me since I've had Android 4.3. I have always fixed this by leaving both devices off a day or two and then It would work like normal. Then the problem would disappear for a few weeks and then the problem would repeat itself. This has happened to me on Paranoid Android on 4.3 but never on stock until now. I thought it was a problem on Paranoid Android but now I see it's a problem of my devices. I'm actually on Android 4.4 when I got this problem again. I actually left both devices off for 2 days and it still has the same problem. I don't think it's because of any apps because it actually crashed on me right after I did a factory reset to my phone on the setup screen. Can someone please help me?
Hey, everyone. I know this issue has been reported before, but NONE of the solutions are working for me. Perhaps I just have a bad Nexus.
I received the device for Christmas and it has worked perfectly fine. Super fast, fluid, responsive. Then, suddenly, I was using the device and it randomly rebooted. I thought, "whatever, this happens to all devices at one point or another". But then, after I turned it on, it got stuck on the Google startup screen for at least 5 minutes. I decided to restart and try again, but this time, it got stuck on the google screen, rebooted on its own and got stuck on the google screen again, repeating this cycle over and over.
So I went into Recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset. Not even this would work. The factory reset worked, but when I started up my tablet again, it froze at the Google screen. Eventually, it would just continue the cycle of freezing and rebooting. This is ridiculous. A brand-new, unrooted Nexus 7 on 4.4.2 should not be completely unusable. My warranty is up on the 18th, so I will probably just return it, unless someone has an idea.
Thanks.

That'a your best option. If you haven't modified it in any way then use your warranty.
I agree. Since you did not root it, there is probably something wrong with your tablet and you should get it exchanged while you can

I am going through the EXACT same thing and no one has been able to help.. What I did to fix it was re-flash the 03.15 bootloader and that allowed it to start. I think there's some tablets out there that "don't like" the new bootloader included with the KitKat update and I'm glad to see that it's not just me... At least you are able to return yours. I purchased mine back in August last year
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my Nexus 5X. I was on Instagram looking at videos and it froze and wouldn't respond at all. The screen then went black, and then turned back on. It showed the Google logo, turned off, and then turn back on and repeat. I have never encountered boot looping, but I'm guessing that's what this is? This happens for about 20 minutes, and then it will finally boot normally. Once the phone is on, if I try to do certain tasks (opening a camera app, or some sort of chatting app), it will freeze again, and will start boot looping again. I am running Android 7.1.2, and I just installed the August 5th security patch. I have left the phone turned off for about an hour, and turned it back on and it still has the issue.

I bought mine 3 months ago, so I didn't get that issue yet.

call google support so that they can check what is happening..
I've got a s8+ verizon and two days ago the phone just started bootlooping. Sometimes it will boot all the way to home screen and I can disable wireless, bluetooth etc, sometimes it hangs during boot.
I was able to do a backup of my photos,etc then a factory reset. It worked ok for a day then started doing the same thing again. The phone seems really warm at times when it's looping.
It was on stock latest OTA... Now I've tried several SamFail Oreo and even Pie and nothing will work. Even on Nuget rooted it hangs during boot. Phone's never been dropped or exposed to liquids. Case all it's life.
