Hi,
I had rooted my 5X a while ago, but the root disappeared when I ran the OTA to Android 7. I never bother reapplying it, but the bootloader is still unlocked.
Today I tried applying the OTA for 7.1.1. It ran the install, and now my phone appears to be bricked - on boot it shows a broken Andy and "No Command".
I can go into the bootloader by pressing Power + Volume up on that screen, but nothing there I tried worked - clearing cache, resetting to factory default.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do?
Yes, happened to me few times.
(This is the only way I know how to Fix it, maybe somebody has another)
Download Nexus Root Toolkit, download factory image you want to flash, press "unroot and return to factory settings", and that's it, fixed.

That worked. I've now got a clean install but at least the phone is working again. Thanks very much for your help.
No problem, any time
I've found that NRT is the easiest way to root and flash something, so shouldn't be a problem to root again, just check Advanced options.

Well if somebody finds this thread like I did... before you restore to stock, go into TWRP (if you have it, which I assume you do if you have rooted; or run it via NRT/via fastboot), and make a backup of "/data" only (that includes apps and pretty much everything by the looks of it). Then, TWRP connects as ADB by default, so install ADB drivers (if not already; again, drivers may be left over from rooting), and copy the backup out of the phone while booted into TWRP.
Restore the system (I used NRT as suggested, thanks for the pointer), flash TWRP again, copy the backup back over to the phone, boot into recovery, restore backup. Tada! (the first boot will be long)
I also had "wrong pin" problem after restart, I used the advice from howtogeek (cannot post links; basically, nuke *.key, and locksettings.* from /data/system using TWRP file manager, after entering your old pin in TWRP). Only an hour (plus google time and curse time) later phone seems fully restored with all data and on 7.1.1

I am running the stock rom without root and unlock and I got the 4.0.2 OTA update 3 days ago. Today when I do the pattern unlock my phone froze and reboot. Now I cannot get pass the Google logo boot screen.
I am able to get into the recovery mode but I don't want to do a factory restore as I don't have anything backup yet.
Is there any solution to this boot loop problem? I am surprise that I am getting this problem as I am running the stock rom without any root / mod.
If there is no solution to this, is there any way I can backup my phone before doing the factory restore?
Many thanks!
You can back up via adb. Try searching in the General threads, since there's a long topic on this...
Good luck!
Thanks, I do find information about backup, but I can't find anything regarding the bootloop...
When i got stuck at the Google screen with a bootloop i booted into the bootloader/fastboot screen with vol up+down power and i redid the one click all process and it basically rewiped my device and put it back to working again with unlocked bootloader rooted etc....
All you have to remember is what build number you have and let the toolkit work its magic.

Sorry, forgot to mention. You're probably gonna have to wipe via recovery - which is why I pointed you to a back up...

I can't find a way to backup without going into Android. I can only go to Fastboot Mode.
Anyone know how to backup the file using abd without getting into android?
Why did make 2 threads about this. Unlock the boot loader and use adb to flash your stock. Image files. You will loose all data unfortunately but I think that's the only way to fix it.

Ok I'm stuck with the same problem now. I wanted to flash a ROM, so I downloaded AOKP, flashed it and rebooted and the phone refuses to boot past the Google logo and keeps rebooting again and again. I am able to get into the recovery. I have flashed the ROM several times and its still the same. I have done a complete wipe as well. Still no go.
Fastboot command doesnt work in the bootloader either. I have made sure the drivers are installed, still there is nothing when I type fastboot devices. If I type any fastboot command it just says <waiting for device> or something like that.
Any other suggestions? :-s
Hello,
My Galaxy Nexus seems to be caught in a boot loop. I woke up this morning took my phone off the charger and it almost immediately said shutting device down and the battery indicator was red with an "X". Now every time I reboot the phone it goes to the Google and then through the Nexus logo gets to the desktop (I don't don't have a lock screen enabled) and then it buzzes and then goes into shutdown. I know the battery has juice because I booted into recovery mode and left the screen on and it doesn't show any signs of shutting it down from there. Also,when I rebooted several times I can get it to the desktop for about five minutes and the battery does show that it's three quarters full. When I decided to go into recovery mode I was able to select recovery when I hit the power button it boots up and then it comes with the android lying down with the red! I got it restored to the factory settings. Then rebooted and started to set up and it crashed and shutdown. when entering my Google account the Gallery Stopped and some other service had to force quit then it locked up. This all started after updating to 4.2.2. Now when I restore it and reboot, it just says "Welcome" and then says it is shutting down. I tried a few times and also deleted the cache as well to see if that would help (it didn't). Is there any way to get a clean update or do I need to send it in to Samsung.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Also, it is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store and has NOT been rooted.
Did you flash the proper update for your device, i.e. yakju or takju? You could always reflash a full image to fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

It was OTA update. Here is where I am at now: I shutdown the phone plugged it in and let it charge. Then I was able to restore to factory settings, but the camera app still doesn't work, it says the gallery app has crashed. I can go into the gallery app, but when I try to access the camera it crashes. So far that is the only error I am getting, is there a way to reinstall the camera app?
You need to flash the stock nexus favtory images trough fastboot. It is the best for a clean start as it restores all the partitions to stock. Its the best fresh start when problems like this happen.
Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Download the 4.2.2 (takju/yakju) images, ectract it and flash it via fastboot.
I am 99% sure everything will be fine after this.
Let me know how it goes

Ok, does your phone have an unlocked bootloader?
If not, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to use fastboot.
so the steps are:
-unlock the bootloader
-follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

I did it but the camera and any app that uses the camera is still not working.
If you reflashed a factory image and it's still not working, then it's probably going to be a hardware issue. Especially if the led was red, it sounds like it needs to go to samsung. Possibility of water damage?
Flash the binary update then followed with 4.2.2 kernel
Can you be more specific as to what binary update you are suggesting? It may help.

Did you flash userdata? I've got the feeling that you didn't.
Fastboot boot a recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
I'm on yakju, and my OTA installed fine, and I had/I'm on TWRP 2.4.1.0.

My unrooted, stock Nexus 7 was on 4.4. I received an OTA notification about 5.0.1 so accepted the upgrade. After the reboot and seeing the Android with the open stomach, it fails with Error against the Android. All I can do is long power off/volume up to power off and then power on again. It then reverts back to 4.4.
After about an hour I received another 5.0.1 update, went the same process and received the same error.
Does anybody know what that could be? I guess I could factory reset the device there is nothing on the tablet that hasn't been saved in my Google account anyway.
Thanks
Wanted to say I experienced the same thing earlier today, except I didn't get an immediate second chance at the OTA. I have the wifi-only version of the N7 2013, and it is also not rooted.
Browsed around the net and various places to see if others had this issue, but no luck. Not really sure what the problem is unless the download got messed up somehow?
Same issue here. Download the update. It shows verified. Reboots, starts to flash and then the android error
Reboot and it is still 5.0
Happy to report that when I got another crack at the ota the update went fine. Still confused as to what could've caused the problem though.
Well it killed my N7 it seems. Got the error message then shut itself down. Now it won't boot up no matter what I do. Any ideas?
My update just stays in the notification area. After the failure I just power the tablet off with long press of the power button and volume up.
I am stock, rooted and unlocked. I used the WUGS toolkit to flash the stock recovery assuming that this is all that was necessary for the OTA to be recognized and accepted. After flashing back to stock recovery, I rebooted the device and told the OTA to update. It starts going through the process and dies with "Error!" and reboots back into 5.0. I tried using the WUGS toolkit to ADB sideload, but I have not been able to get it to work. At some point, it actually got into the Stock Recovery, but ADB wasn't able to contact the device (that only happened once). Every other time, it goes through the script and shows the Android on it's back with the exclamation mark, and below it says "no command."
The device works, but it's frustrating. I wish there was just a way to fastboot the OTA, or just do it via TWRP.
I'm anxious to hear how others work through this, as it appears that I'm not the only one.

Tried sideloading the factory image?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Since my N7 is a secondary device (my main device is a N5 which received the Lollipop upgrade fine), I might just leave it on KitKat rather than muck around with sideloading Lollipop. KitKat works fine for me at the moment. But it's really annoying that a stock N7 cannot get an OTA upgrade and goes into an Android error state.
I was on 5.0 rooted with TWRP and got the same error trying to take the OTA. So I downloaded the rooted rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , used Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader, and then dirty flashed the 5.0.1 rom with TWRP. Painless and fast with no loss of data or anything.
Same problem! I managed to workaround the issue by using fastboot replacing system.img boot.img recovery.img with stock ones!

Are you suggesting that I blow away what's installed and just update by doing a fresh install? would prefer to not do that.
I did download razor-lrx21p-factory-ba55c6ab.tgz (the 5.0 factory image) and extract the recovery.img for it, and fastboot flashed it, and the no matter what I end up in the Recovery bootloop with the android on it's back and exlamation point and "No command."

If I am not wrong, there is a way of flashing the factory image without wipe by modifying one of the scripts, never did it though myself.

Turns out I was using the wrong key sequence for Recovery to get past that screen. Holding down Vol Up + Power for 3 seconds, then just pressing Power gets you to the right place. Am still having issues with OTA, as the system believes something was altered (install-recovery.sh). Others are saying that the way to do this is as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57271130&postcount=423

jep, that's what I was saying earlier: factory image. For the 5.0.1 update you only need system.img and boot.img, at least that way it worked for me and my N7 2013 is running fine so far.

Oh man! It's crasy, I was waiting so long, and exactly on this day when I write to thread I get my update!
EDIT: Never mind. I tried to do it via sideload, and it complained that the /System was too full. I rebooted, compared it to another Nexus 7, and the size was the same and free space was the same (and the other one updated fine). for the heck of it, I tried sideloading again, this time I formatted the cache first (no reason, just a thought) and that time it sideloaded correctly. So I'm up to date now... Weird.
I have the same issue. did a factory image install to 5.0. Now I get the update notification for 5.0.1 (as expected).
When I try to install it, it reboots, then I get "error" - have tried 3 times now. A reboot gets me back in the tablet, but am still at 5.0. This is my kid's tablet, so I have no need to root it or install a new rom, just want the dumb update to work correctly...

That is indeed strange...If you are pure stock it should work I guess? You could still try to sideload the 5.0.1 as well (did the same as I did not want to wait for OTA). You can do it without full wipe, just wipe cache in the process. (You need only to flash system and boot.img, wipe cache, reboot). Nevertheless let me know if you get the "error" solved, would be interested to know.

I was skeptical but this worked when I was having a similar problem to the OP Thanks. I have no idea how 5.0.1 is different though.
I recently my phone - LG Optimus G Pro - using Kingo Root and added ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.4. on KitKat. I wanted to install cyanogenmod 12, and when I cleared everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) and attempted to flash cm12, it said my device was geefhd4g instead of geefhd, so it didn't install.
Stock LG 4.4.2 was now bootlooping and didn't work at all. I downloaded the backup/restore file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760895, and used adb push to get it on my phone, but it gave me a /data error, and I was unable to fully restore it.
It was still bootlooping, so I then edited the updater script on cm12 and tried to flash it, but it got stuck on the boot animation, and is also bootlooping. I can only access recovery now, and don't know how to get past this error.
I really have no idea what to do from here, and all I want to do is recover my phone's functionality. I don't care what ROM I manage to get on there, as long as it works.
As a side note, I made a nandroid backup using the Online Nandroid Backup app on google play store, but the backup made was 8 GB, and ever since I tried to restore my phone from the backup in the link above, adb push gave me an error saying that I don't have any space - though I clearly do , as it is a 32GB phone. The phone does have a microSD slot, but I don't have a microSD card, so is there any way to solve this issue without one?
Thanks!
For the stock rom bootloop perform a factory reset. I probably happens right after flashing the stock rom. Been there. Google for help on how to do factory reset. I think you need to hold down vol + & vol-.

Volume + and Volume - brings me to download mode, but my computer won't recognize the phone (I don't know why, but probably because the /data restore didn't work). Also, I have no idea how to factory reset during a bootloop, and I can't seem to find it on the internet. Do you have a link?
Thanks
I tried to unroot my phone with SuperSU.
My phone reset and all I get is a google logo screen and another screen that says "Your device is corrupt, it can't be trusted and may not work properly."
I can get into TWRP through recovery mode. Can anyone walk me through the steps to get my phone working again. I don't care if everything gets deleted and it's unrooted. I was trying to factory reset and unroot anyway.
Thanks for reading and any help or knowledge you can pass down.

Download the factory image that matches your OS. Use fastboot to flash the system and boot images. Follow section 9 of my guide:

Thanks for the quick reply. Working on it, I'll check back in when I'm finished or if I have any problems.
I entered in the commands into my command promp listed in your guide #9.
It responds with "waiting for any device". I don't know if my path system is wrong or what. My computer does recognize my phone when it's plugged into the USB port but I cannot access any files to it directly from my PC.
Also, I do have an old back up on my PC I could restore. I just don't know how to transfer it from my computer onto my phone via TWRP.
Update. I flashed the factory image and fixed my phone. Just took some troubleshooting on moving some files around and using the command prompt.
Thanks SlimSnoopOS!
