Have tried both Pixel Dust and Nitrogen and end result is that phone seemingly dies during step 1/2 of flashing. I performed flash-all with /w option on both slots and the phone boots cleanly. Then I boot TWRP and try to flash the ROM and the TWRP zip. I can see on the phone display that somewhere in the first step of the flash (for both PD and Nitrogen) that the phone goes to black screen. If I hold the power button, the phone just displays the Google screen. Anyone seen this before?
Where you're having problems I don't recommend flashing both at the same time. Flash the ROM first and make sure it boots. If it does, go back into the bootloader, boot into TWRP with Fastboot, and then flash the TWRP install zip.
It could also be that it's not dieing. TWRP has a screen time out and it maybe going to sleep. If your flashing a rom it may become unresponsive if you push the power button. I like to tap the screen ever so often to keep it from going to sleep. There maybe an option somewhere to disable it altogether

With in TWRP settings you can disable screen timeout. I've had an issue before whereby the screen went to sleep when flashing a new rom, but couldn't then wake the screen.

I've encountered exactly the same issue, as the person above said. If you continuously tap the screen, it won't happen. But if it does happen, just boot up as see where you are and go from there.

Hi
My Galaxy Nexus has just started into a constant reboot cycle. The Google logo comes up and the the multi coloured animation thing like normal and then it goes back to beginning.
I never get to enter my pin or anything.
Has this happened anybody else?
It also gets quite hot after been in reboot phase for 20-30 mins.
Thanks
Brian
Need more details: what ROM/kernel you're using? Do you have ClockWork Recovery installed? What did you do to your phone before this happened?

Im not sure on exact details other than its as it was when I bought it apart from 4.0.2 is installed
I didnt root it or change radio etc
I was just using it as normal, was going in to check battery level I think
ClockWork isnt installed
If I hold down power button and volume button and go into recovery options reocovery mode doesnt work, restart bootloader doesnt help either
Only other options I have are Start and Power off
When I try and go back into those options again all I get is a screen with green Android and Start > Downloading > Do not turn off target
It can stay in this screen for 5 mins or more and go nowhere
This happened earlier on as well so I just turned it off
I tried the same procedure again and I got the recovery menu again but it still didnt work and then tried it again and I just got the Downloading message again
Not sure if any of that helps, I cant check the kernel version anywhere right now.
Oh and its the GSM release of the Nexus

I choose recovery mode and the phone restarts, Google logo comes up and it then goes to a picture of android robot with a red excamation mark over it
It just stays there on that screen for about 2-3 minutes and then retarts
After restarting it goes through sme sequence as before constantly going from Google Logo to multi coloured animation and then restarts again. At no stage do I get to login screen.
Only other option I get when I hold down power button and volume button is to restart bootloader, start and power off.

the hardest part was getting my laptop to pick up my phone in bootloader mode but my laptop is getting old and on its last legs, the usb ports are dodgy for everything
Just to warn you, there's a good chance it will happen again eventually. A few days ago it happened to me for the second time (completely stock).
I decided this time to root it and install a custom rom seeing as how I'd have to flash stock again anyway. I'm hoping that whatever bug that caused it has been fixed in 4.0.3.

Hey guys I really need help here. I have no clue how but my phone into some weird mode displaying the message in the title. I have a stock Nexus and didn't try to flash or anything like that.
I tried everything on the internet but nothing seems like its working. I am a real noob and need any advice. Is there a way to get the phone back to normal without having to unlock it, root or something like that?
you most likely turned it on without realizing that your fingers are on the volume down and power at the same time. try pulling the battery and turn on the phone again

You put your phone into download mode somehow.
At least, if your title is what your talking about.....then yea, your in download mode.
If you didn't flash anything....try just pulling the battery and restarting the phone.
I tried that. Nothing is working; the phone gets stuck on the google logo and then the logo itself goes and comes back really quickly then the phones turn off. When the phone turns off it takes 10 mins to get it up again!! No clue...
Now the phone won't turn on.

Can you get to the bootloader?
Vol. Down + vol. Up and power together.
If so then you'll be fine. Just flash a factory image.
There are a few threads that will go through the process in more detail than I am willing to at 6:08am!
Is there a way to take my photos and contact from the phone while it's in the downloading mode or any other way before I flash it. Or am I screwed? I don't have my stuff synced with google+

If the phone doesnt completely reboots to android, I dont think you can get your photo's.
Can you still get in fastboot mode?
my phone is doing the same thing, the downloading screen. I am totally stock, and i can easily turn my phone on and off except i wanna get into bootloader to flash CWM recovery and i cant do so because this screen is popping up.

Is there a big green outlined arrow box at the top of your screen that says start, and it points to your power button? If so you are just at the Odin screen instead of your boot loader screen. You get here by just holding vol down and power instead of of holding both vol up/down and power which would bring you to the bootlloader. Also your phone obviously needs to be off before doing either of these. If in fact you are at the Odin screen simply push power and your phone will boot.

It sounds like your volume-down button might be stuck in the pressed-down position (or just shorted out). If that is the case, every time you try to turn your phone on, you will see the screen you described. You can try pressing the volume buttons many times to see if you can get the volume-down button unstuck. If you can't, you can replace the buttons fairly cheaply.
Of course, it could be caused by something else entirely, but that's what it seems like to me.

If the vol-down button is stuck, try booting it up with both up and down held. You might be able to get either recovery or bootloader.

So tonight I rooted my phone and decided to download CyanogenMod to it. I created a backup of my phones current install, wiped/reformatted, and installed the latest stable release of CyanogenMod from their website (version 10.2.0). I followed the instructions on CyanogenMod's website for installing from recovery since Heimdall isn't supporting right now. Everything went great, said my radio was recent enough, installed with no issues. I go to reboot and I just got the spinning arrow for ages, won't load. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Grrr.. and now, when I try to restore my backup, my phone won't boot. It either crashes on the boot screen and turns off, or I get stuck in a "boot loop" where it just reboots over and over and over but never gets past the splash screen. Ideas?

If it vibrates and restarts over and over until you remove the battery. It's a bad power button. I had it happen to me. I unsoldered the button off for now. It stays on now i have a touch recovery and use volume to wake and a tile to sleep.

It's only a bad power button when I try to flash CyanogenMod, then. I found a way to revert back to stock and my phone is fine.

I've been looking on multiple other threads for the last few days now but haven't found a fix. I updated my S3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 through the phone(AT&T recommended update) and it worked for 4 days but was very glitchy. Then it shut off one day with 50% battery and wouldn't turn back on. I tried pulling the battery and turning it on but it would generally fail after it reached the galaxy s3 logo. Can't stay in download mode or recovery mode without it crashing. I sometimes I found that if I leave the battery out for an over 4-5 hours, it can get it to boot and reach my home screen but it soon crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I have been without a phone for about a week. Thank you.

Any warranty left on your phone? If not, you could try flashing a custom recovery in Odin if the phone will stay in download mode, then wipe data, cache from the custom recovery.

No I'm pretty sure the warranty is ended since I've had the phone for about a year and 3 months and don't have any insurance through AT&T. How would I go about flashing a custom recovery? Is there a link to a tutorial you could refer me to? Just in case I could get the phone to stay in download mode long enough. Thanks for all your help by the way. I really appreciate it.
Okay. Download the tar version of Philz Touch Recovery from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
Install it using Odin by selecting pda and browsing to where you saved the CWM file. Flash it, go into recovery, and wipe.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

The flash worked and now my phone is staying in recovery. It got into recovery mode and did a factory reset. Now I started up and I started setting up my phone (wifi, google account..) but it crashed multiple times during that setup time. I haven't reached the home screen yet. Occasionally it will boot loop once or twice before reaching the setup again......
So I finally got to the home screen and it crashed (after about 7-8 crashes and reboots). Could it be 4.3 or maybe a hardware problem?
Could be either but let's assume it is an OS issue. Did you flash a custom rom?

Also, my phone was just on for about 8 minutes and was working. I noticed that my power/lock button was extremely touchy and i would barely have to touch(not press it) to lock it. If I press it (like I use to to lock it, it pulls up the power off/options and if I don't do anything about it, it will shut off and restart(boot loop) until i pull the battery and turn it on myself. So I think it might be a problem with the power button being too touchy that it just turns off. Do you know if there is a way to disable the power button?
I run Cyanfox on my brother's S3 and it's pretty stable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480007
Yes, the power button could be causing the problem. Sounds like the power connection and/or board may be defective.

Alright well it worked right off the bat for about 15 minutes and then crashed. Now it is doing the same sort of thing it was before. It will rarely make it to the home screen but typically just crashes before it gets there. It will crash and then only sometimes turn on when I press the power button. Other times I have to pull the battery and occasionally it will boot loop once or twice.
I think the power button is now the issue.

If you're not on 4.4.4 firmware you should update to it. It's already a well known fact that running ROMs with out dated firmware WILL result in excessively long bootup times(10mins + ) .

Once it reboots you won't really be able to get in, well I couldn't when I tried. As soon as the screen goes dark you should immediately have the volume down key pressed, I'm talking about a second at most in between.
If the phone is completely off it's easy enough to just hold volume down and power for a couple of seconds until it goes into bootloader. When you do the hard reset you have to hold the power button and slide down to volume down quickly before it boots up.
You didn't still have fastboot checked in the settings did you?

Well another method to try that worked for me when my device hung up, connect to PC, and use adb reboot bootloader to have it rebooted into bootloader.

I'm just curious, was your phone fully charged when you were flashing the ROM? It sounds like a battery problem, but I could be wrong.
Always make sure you have lots of battery before flashing anything. The way it won't stay on is really weird. You could try the ROM's forum. Maybe you might find an answer there. Sorry.

Where did you download the ROM from? You can probably figure it out by reading your original post.
