Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515 Will not go past google start screen

The phone will power on with a google logo and on the bottom of the screen a lock symbol. Anyone ever deal with something like and maybe have a solution.

the lock symbol means your phones bootloader has been unlocked allowing for custom development. i assume you have bought the device second hand as you obviously didnt unlock it yourself.
to make your phone boot i suggest cleaning your devices cache.
-power off device
-hold power up+down while pressing power button
-use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery and press power to select
-after google logo disappears a little android with a blue thingy will come up, at this point hold the power button then press volume up and another selection screen will come up.
-select clean cache and then press power to select. when this is done reboot your device.
im not 100% sure this is your problem but its worth a try.

I was stuck at the same screen this morning. I tried booting into CWM Recovery from Jelly Bean and my phone wasn't having any part of it. I kept waiting and eventually pulled the battery. Luckily, I was able to boot into the ROM on my second battery pull. I doubt this helps though, just my two cents.

the newest released stock images are here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
down towards the bottom should be imm76k for the mysid
its a zip, but inside, there is a bootloader, 2 radios, and a system image, maybe some other tidbits
so just unzip it to the same directory as your fastboot.exe
assuming you're unlocked.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.fc05.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.fa04.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-imm76k.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that i always boot into recovery and do another factory reset, but thats me.
enjoy!

You skipped the part where it was suggested to go download the IMM76K image. I'd start there. You're trying to flash an older build.

I can't view your screen shot. It's too small.
Your reboot command didn't work because you are missing the dash. It is "fastboot reboot-bootloader" not "fastboot reboot bootloader".
Not sure why the radio is not flashing for you. Try skipping it and move to the next image.

I have this same but problem but I tried what Efrant suggested doing from the bootloader and it appeared to work, my phone booted up and was back to stock. I continued to test restating it and it would go through the google splash screen only about 5-10 times to boot, so i thought that it was fine and continued to use my phone throuhgout the day.
Well I restarted it again later and it went right back into the bootloop. I flashed to stock again following Efrants directions and it worked for a little but soon went back into the bootloop.
What else can I do? I dont want to have to get a new one through Asurion because you never know what kind of ****furb you'll get and its 50$..
Don't mean to hijack but I can't find answers anywhere else!

That is very strange. If you successfully flashed ALL the stock images as per that guide, and the device boots properly, but you are still getting bootloops, it is either an app that you have installed that is causing it, or a hardware issue.

Doesn't this mean he is locked, not unlocked.the lock symbol has to be one of an open lock.this could be why flashing falls.

Yes I'm pretty sure all the images flashed succesfully but when i did the last one it said something about something not being available, not home right now or else I'd check. I really hope this isnt a hardware problem but I don't see how it could be. When it started doing this I was downloading a bunch of files on my phone at work and it randomlly restarted and went into the bootloop. Is there anything I could try before getting a replacement?

how many time take for flashing?
i need tested working fastboot.exe for window.

Oke 2 mistakes on your side, you dont have the updated hboot to run JB roms and since fastboot commands do not work you didn't flash the boot.img with the commands
Do you have a folder on the pc with adb and fastboot files ? If no
Download this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
And place it like this
C:\fastboot\the files i gave you
And then open a cmd prompt in the folder and do those commands again

sorry for the long wait
it still say waiting for device + i dont think my usb debugging is enabled

Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img with this command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and do a full wipe (do not wipe the sdcard)
Then choose install zip from sdcard and choose the rom.zip and install it ! Reboot and you have a working phone until I have news about the nandroid backup you need, i already sent him a message

Ah its relocked, that explains it. Can you find back the unlock_code.bin file that you received by the hycdev site when you first unlocked the device ?
Put that file also in the fastboot folder on pc and reboot the phone again into fastboot usb mode
Do
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
This will unlock the bootloader and you will be able to flash the recovery .... So try again

[Q] Complete noob needs help relocking bootloader

Okay so I have the One X, decided I wanted to root it even though I have NO IDEA what its all about (yes I know Im an idiot). I basically got as far as unlocking the bootloader then something went wrong and I couldnt get any further. I basically just want to relock the bootloader but I have no idea how. Like I said, Im a complete noob and need someone to really walk me through this the simplest way there is. Ps Im on a mac, which Im sure makes it even more difficult.
Any help is greatly appreciated :/

well, i don't know anything about mac, but i do know how to re-lock the bootloader under microsoft windows.
All you have to do is download FASTBOOT in any windows pc, download it from here
press and hold volume down + power button on your phone (to enter bootloader)
when in bootloader, enter fastboot mode by just hitting power key once,
now connect USB to pc and the phone
u'll see FASTBOOT PC written in your phone screen,
now go to the downloaded fastboot folder in ur pc,
hold SHIFT and Right click, Select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE,
in the command window, just write : fastboot oem lock
That's it!

thanks so much for your reply. I'm gonna hold out and see if anyone can give me a mac reply but I'm gonna see if anyone I know can lend me their laptops and try what you said. thanks again

here is a thread explaining how to unlock on mac, quite simple steps
to lock the bootloader, all u need is to write ./fastboot-mac oem lock instead of ./fastboot-mac oem unlock :good:

I tried that link before and its never worked. I dont have a great understanding of Terminal and it usual gives me something along the lines of 'no such file or directory'.
Edit: I just got '-bash: ./fasboot-mac: No such file or directory'

That means that you haven't downloaded fastboot!
You need to download fastboot.exe to perform this operation.
or simply visit some friend with a windows pc and do the task

This is so stressful

[FIXED] sending 'system'\nFAILED (remote: data too large) (on fastboot -w update)

So coming from MDA89E, I was not receiving the OTA for MDB08I that others around me had received so I decided to go the old "./flash-all.sh" route. I already had performed "fastboot oem unlock" to change build.prop for the hotspot provisioning flag.
However, there was something wrong with the image-bullhead-mdb08i.zip (correct MD5 of the overall package) or my setup, and I received the message "FAILED (remote: data too large)" on the "fastboot -w update image-bullhead-mdb08i.zip" step.
This lead down to long path of frustration until I ran into this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57272090&postcount=25
After extracting bullhead-mdb08i.zip and manually formatting/erasing and flashing the files individually, I was able to boot as normal.

This error can also be a result of using an out-of-date fastboot binary. Just an FYI.

ahhh didn't think of that.
Time flies.. It's probably time to update. Thanks
EDIT: I use fastboot/adb on Linux Mint 17 Qiana and the package manager says both android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot are up-to-date. So whether or not that is actually the case is to be determined, but my OP regarding this issue occurred on the "latest" version of fastboot available via the package manager.

Ugh, I'm running into this issue and I've updated all my ADB/Fastboot files/binaries. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get the system.img to flash properly. I've tried everything using Fastboot commands and it just won't work. I updated all my SDK files and I imagine that it updated my ADB/Fastboot binaries. Not sure how to update the Fastboot binaries manually.
Anyone else still running into this?

I ended up getting it to work. I uninstalled all instances of ADB/SDK/Fastboot from my mac, rebooted and reinstalled the full SDK tools again and re-setup ADB. After doing that I was able to flash everything, including system.img with no issues. Looks like I was just missing some fastboot binaries afterall.

when i try to flash files individually, I get stuck in erasing recovery, do you know why? I can't go further than that, I haven't disconnect it yet because I'm afraid it gets ****ed.

I did this, it has shown everything ok, from flashing system and rebooting but I am stuck in Google logo now. I flashed bullhead-mtc20k-factory-4a950470, do I have to wait for it to boot or I'll have to heat the processor now?

I can't reflash htc desire 700 even with the -S option. It shows the same error (data too large) also in RUU mode. I found the firmware on Hardreset.info in their htc firmware database. If you need firmware, then no problem, though I'm without a computer now, but from my iPhone. I did not download the firmware there (and I'm too lazy to wait for the download, for a long time). Please, help!
