After Beta2 update it doesn't boot anymore!

Hi all,

I've got a Galaxy Nexus. I was using 4.5 and everything was working fine. Using the app I downloaded the update to Beta1 and, after the install process, after reboot, it stopped starting up and never started again! After reboot it didn't appear the boot animation either. I tried with and without wiping cache but nothing helped.

A full wipe and a clean installation of 4.6 beta1 allowed me to start the phone using the new rom. Yesterday I downloaded the Beta2, it rebooted to recovery, it installed the rom, I tried wiping and not wiping the cache but same story, it doesn't start up anymore! I can't think of wiping all the phone again to have beta2!!!

Any idea of the reason why it doesn't start anymore after update?! After I power up with power button, it doesn't show me boot animation either. I tried a cold boot pulling the battery and powering up but nothing ... it doesn't start up!

Thanks,

Pap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Boot into recovery via fastboot (three buttons) and install the ROM manually. TWRP supports ADB pushing even in recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paprott:
Tried, but with same result, it doesn't boot anymore! Black screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
Try wiping the system and flash the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Wipe system, flash ROM ONLY, reboot recovery, flash GAPPS and try to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paprott:
a complete wipe solves the problem, but I can't wipe and reinstall all the times!! It is a little bit crazy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Not COMPLETE wipe, but SYSTEM, CACHE, DALVIK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paprott:
Got it! I'll try and let you know!

I think I already tried, but I'll try again to be sure!!

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
PS. Do not add files for flashing, flash each file separately. I had such problem with 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paprott:
Thank you! Wiping system did the trick!

I also tried with and without cache/dalvik wipe, and it works in both cases. I Aldo tried updating ROM and gapps together or separately, and it works in both ways!

Thanks, now I'm in beta2 too and it seems great!

Download the nexus toolkit and boot to Twrp without installing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Replace the USB connector in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
Maybe the connector bent.

Happened to me once and I fixed it easily.

Hi. There is some way to disable this kind of notif ?

Thx

Hihi Nice tip my buddy ! Thx. Another question. How can I change my recent panel style ? There was some notif ask me if I want choose the new panel style but it's a little bit slow if there are many apps.

Dunno about the current beta but the previous one was really aggressive draining my battery. I have to charge 2times a day

My wife has my old Galaxy Nexus and I plan to wipe/install this ROM Saturday. Now, she is NOT a tweaker, so I have to follow Ron Popeil's "set it and forget it" mantra.

With that said, should I install the 4.5 beta? Or go with 4.45? I'm looking for battery, smoothness, and reliability over new features.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siealex:
Install stock 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunobliss:
O don't know why, but trying to update from the paranoid Android app just doesn't work, the phone will not restart and nothing happens when I do it manually

I had an issue with Google Services not letting the device (Galaxy Nexus) enter deep sleep. I had it temporarily fixed by setting the location to device only, but that is just a workaround - some apps I use demand precise location. Anyone else with similar mileage?

I don't have such problems. Don't notice any thing different to be honest
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syriochan:
Well, i have those issues too, tried 4.4 stable 4.5 and 4.6 beta, i like so much the features on this rom, but sometimes i cant just use the phone. Came from CM that has the same issues. It's been a fun ride for a month, time to move to something more stable (i think the CM base has these problems with Gnex)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacemanr:
No such problems here, everything works just fine except lags with dynamic colors enabled but I can live with it in combination with fancy r57.

is there any way to turn off the notification that comes up at the bottom of the screen? i'm using the latest PA build and Veu theme. I know that i can swipe away the notication but it is annoying i have to say
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
At the bottom of the screen? Never seen that before. We don't have anything that notifies on the bottom of the screen. If you mean top of the screen, why not turn off hover?

#stayparanoid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toshikazza:
Thank you very much for your reply.

I mean Android L or Floatify-like style notification that comes up at the bottom, I thought this is my theme's function so I set the default theme back on but the notification still comes up at the bottom like i'm using Floatify? (but floatify is off)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
There is nothing in the ROM for notifications at the bottom of the screen.

Are you sure you didn't mean TOP of the screen? If so, turn off hover, the same way you turned it on.

#stayparanoid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toshikazza:
Thanks I figured now, Floatify was off but somehow notification access of Floatify was on...

Sorry for the trouble

Hi.

After a long time of searching and reading I have to post my problems, because I cannot find the solution.

When I write an sms and after that I put down the phone in horizontal there is a sound comes from the speaker.

I don't know why. Only when I put down the device and didn't lock it. :eek:

Another problem ... It is a huuuge lag when somebody calls me. I have to wait a couple of seconds (4-5) to see

who is calling me. It is annoying as hell !

Sorry if those question were answered, I searched a lot today with no luck !

Thank you !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunobliss:
I subscribe to the lag problem on call receive. This has gotten worse lately and seems to plague android kit kat rooms since day one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elibl:
You've got NFC enabled? I just identified my strange sound to be NFC device detection after laying the phone down on my purse with my NFC students card in it [emoji12] really funny to identify it after hearing it already quite often without knowing what's going on^^

In call delay is a known bug buddy! It exist on almost every kitkat rom as far as I know.

Anyway, I see new driver for gpu, could you include in paranoid android? would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScardracS:
First problem is already known and devs are trying to fix that, but it's a kernel related problem.. New drivers for gpu are work in progress and no all the rom can use it because there are many modifies to do before they can be usable so nobody, excluded the devs of FML, use it until android L release

any ideas ?

Help me please

Hi All,

I am in a big problem. Y'day I installed a theme. Device boots and after 1min it again reboots.. This scenario is still going on, When I opened TWRP and tried to clear cache / format data, still nothing happened. I tried to uninstall the theme, it says uninstalled but device reboots and stays the same. I tried to reflash this rom but no use it says failed.

I finally thought of flashing factory image, but while flashing it struck at flashing "system". I am unable to retain my device back. Please help me out.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
What GPS drivers are you talking about? Do you mean GPU drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vintermut:
Damn autocorrect, yes I mean GPU :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagara.sandaru:
Those GPU drivers aren't stable yet. I tried the fml beta rom with updated drivers and it's buggy. Front facing camera doesn't work properly and can't take pics with the back cam with 5mp resolution just yet. All the roms and kernel will definitely include those new drivers once they became stable. Head over to the FML rom thread for more info. :)

Hi ... Explain steps of flashing your ROM or factory image ... It could corrupted ... First manually format cache / dalvik/system/user data and flash your custom ROM again . for flashing factory you need to unlcok bootloader and flash it through adb commands . ?

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to many ways but nothing is going on.. My device is unlocked and running PA 4.6 Beat4. But now it gone into boot loop (i.e., it only boots for 1min). I tried to do factory reset, that is also not happening, I tried to install Factory build by using Nexus tool kit. It got struck at flashing the "system". So this is what happening. Please help me out. Since from y'day I am trying but no use. My phone is dead. :( I have no other phone to use also :(

Please someone help me out!!!!

If anyone has any idea please help me I dont want to go service center this quick !! I dont want to lose hope...!!

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacemanr:
How do you connect your phone to pc? Do you have quick adb push tool or what? Do you see your phone on the pc when it's in twrp mode? First answer those questions and then will see. I use, quick adb push for tricky situations and if you can connect your phone with pc and all adb drivers are installed correctly then there is an option to format data and try all over again. I'm not someone who has the knowledge like those guys on xda but have some experience with my gnex in tricky situations and all of them went well by now :).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GilGameshn1:
No harm in trying ... But I agree with pirate bro ... It could unfortunately hardware thing ... But hope it come back to life . first try to format everything with nexus toolkit then try to push anything . start with original stock ROM files from Google and flash it in true steps provided in nexus toolkit or Google it . don't loose hope . but after this the service thing your next step . it is not so pricy so you can buy spare parts from eBay ...

One more problem. When I open recents (especially new style), SystemUI takes up to 120 M RAM and throws all apps (sometimes even Launcher and widgets) off RAM. Isn't it possible to show recents as a simple text popup menu on old devices?

PS. SystemUI slowly consumes memory and doesn't free it up, after 30..40 hours uptime it takes 100..110 M RAM, then pressing recents or opening the notification drawer causes a hot reboot.
