Jelly bean 4.1 not booting up after installing

Hey happy people out there I have a problem with my galaxy nexus I am on ics 4.0.4 imm76i and I am getting the update from google for jelly bean when I install it it install find but when come to the boot up it gets stuck on the boot logo why is it doing that can any one help with this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaydoc79:
Hi.

Just received a brand new Galaxy nexus from google play store. Other than the fact that it is unlocked and GSM, and already has jellybean(4.1.1) on it, I have no idea about this phone.

Can anyone tell me what the best way is to get to a custom JB ROM on this phone? Can I follow the guides on this thread and not risk bricking my phone? I basically want to root and then choose the best custom JB ROM out there. And any recommendations on what ROM to choose? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulcam03:
Mate, IMHO, if you dont know much about the phone, its hard to know what tweaks you might improve on in a custom ROM. Simple fact is stock 4.1.1 is pretty awesome...you can add icons, themes, minor mods but I would get to know the stock ROM itself before rooting. There are some apps that require you not to be root but you can get around them. For now, my advice would be enjoy your new toy and explore what the nice people at Google have done. just my two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spyroxo:
Best ROM for GN 4.0 was AOKP, I would wait for stable version of AOKP if I were you, just enjoy your stock phone right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Yup.

The GetRIL app (from the play store) makes this REALLY easy. (I'm not affiliated, ftr, just a very satisfied user).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] realblackfox:
sorry if this is a noob question, but if i flash from yakjuxw to yakju, will that wipe my phone? i need to unlock bootloader first before flashing right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
Yes it will.

Be careful and backup everything first. I lost very important data and photos when I did it cause I forgot about that. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayint Naung:
Anyone notice 'multiple tabs per app' in jelly bean stock browser -> advanced setting ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
What the heck is up with being unable to backspace after a period? Its so ridiculously annoying. How did they miss such a glaring glitch during quality control? Or is this a "feature"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NKDroid:
does anyone know what the maximum number of tabs in the default browser? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
Don't know. Just tried it in Chrome, got to 40 and got bored.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NKDroid:
hahaha I've tried up to 35 tabs and still continues to grow :cyclops:, so do not know the exact number :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
How can we open new tabs on the browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
On Chrome you can have as many tabs open as you like. Only on the (default) Android Browser, there is a limit :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
There is no way for an end user to "calibrate" the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
Oh, didn't know that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
On rooted devices, I always used the Battery Calibration app from the play store.

Battery Calibration
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Unfortunately, the dev of that app seems to be a tad bit misinformed about what his app does. It has absolutely nothing to do with calibrating the battery. The one and only thing that app does is clear the list of what apps have used the battery. Google has long since debunked the myth of clearing batterystats.bin having any effect on anything whatsoever.

Any dev that states you must clear battery stats after flashing a rom should probably be steered clear of since they are grossly ignorant about the OS that they're developing for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Interesting!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
I don't want to admit it, but JB feels like a downgrade.

It may be my imagination, but I feel while certain things are fast, things aren't as smooth. I notice screen swipes stuttering, especially swiping right after exiting from an app. While apps may open and close faster, the overall experience doesn't feel as smooth on JB vs. ICS.

Also, the keyboard has taken a tremendous downgrade. It's less responsive, more prone to missed keys, and prone to missed autocorrections (it'll flat out miss autocorrections which it should always correct. For example, sometimes I see "ypu" in my messages. Unless I'm purposefully selecting that from the suggestion bar -- which I'm not -- I should never see "ypu". That should always autocorrect to "you" but sometimes it misses it.) I also think Google completely missed the point of shortcuts by forcing you to pick them from the suggestion bar than just changing it automatically.

I'm not sure what happened with JB. There are some amazing additions like Google Now, and dictation has gotten even better, and expandable notifications, but some things feel like they've taken a step back. I'm hoping 4.1.2 will smooth out some of these oddities.

EDIT: I also notice sometimes hitting the sleep/wake button on the right side doesn't wake the device. I have to hit it twice to wake it up. Don't know what's the deal with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I'd say your experience is not the norm. You may want to try wiping and starting over.

ICS is in no way smoother than JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You can callibrate a battery, but not like the previous debunked method.

Run it dead, and charge it full. Thats the only way to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtyreturn:
I think it was xda where I read that running the battery to the end can cause battery problems in the future/not good for the battery. From personal experience you would say no and that that is untrue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
Modern lithium batteries do not develop a memory and do not need to be run all the way down and recharged. Charge it when it is convenient or when you have no choice. And if you run the Nexus battery almost all the way down the first thing the O/S shuts off is the phone signal when the battery gets too low. I don't know why, that would be the last thing I would shut down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Not a chance, there is a chip built in the battery that communicates with the phone. When the phone shut down and refuses to turn on, it means that battery is in a threshold where it has a charge level enough to not damage it but not enough to run the phone and keep battery alive. So, when your battery is "dead", it is in fact almost dead, not really dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Actually,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hullbay:
Give it some time, as ROMs develop it will only get smoother. I noticed this with ICS ROMs as well as mixing up Kernels to see which worked best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
Read the whole article: "The author of this essay does not depend on the manufacturer’s specifications alone but also listens to user comments. BatteryUniversity.comis an excellent sounding board to connect with the public and learn about reality. This approach might be unscientific, but it is genuine."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeWitt_A:
I have to agree with some other posters. This is completely counter to my experience. Everything seems smoother and faster on JB, and the keyboard is improved as well. Have never missed sleep/wake either.... For reference I am using Pete A's Bugless Beast TORO (Verizon)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LarsFromMars:
I'm ready to upgrade to JB now that roms are adding features that I want/need, like T9 dialer, advanced power menu, circle battery, etc.

One question: Do any JB roms let you customize lockscreen icons (quad, octo, etc) yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enkriptd:
Agreed, the overall experience just seems better. To me its hard to point out all the specific changes but it just operates more smooth than ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox_br:
Hello guys,

I'm getting some black screen issues with JB 4.1.1 in my Galaxy Nexus. The game I play the most right now is Drag Racing and sometimes when the game change screens it becomes 100% black. I need to go home screen and go back to the game to get the image of the game again.

Right now I'm using Minco ROM with Franco Kernel with GPU @384Mhz.

Is this a big problem?

Only happens with games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
And how does that contradict what I posted? Would you like another source? I am sure I can get one.

Here.

This refers to fuel gauge recallibration.

I am aware that this is not a "reputable" source, so how about a manual for a defibrillator battery?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
How do I wipe and start over?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
Cm 10 lets you customize lock screen shortcuts (5).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Timmyfoxeh:
As does LiquidSmooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lada2107:
Factory reset :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Factory reset will just reset the phone to ICS, or to JB?

And other than losing everything saved, I don't have to "flash" anything, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It will rest the phone to whatever you are using. If you are on ICS, you will still be on ICS. If you are on JB, you will still be on JB. All that factory reset does is erase /data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
So a factory reset wouldn't necessarily help with the stuttering and oddities with the keyoard that I've been having with JB? Or it would?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It may. The only way it wouldn't if there was something wrong with your initial flash of JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
I got it from the OTA update from Google.

I'll try the reset anyway after I back everything up.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Unfortunately it hasn't resolved the issues I've been having, even after factory reset.

THe keyboard is constantly missing autocorrections it would normally get. It's really frustrating. I see words like "ypu" or "tge" or "dont" when all these would normally be corrected. Not sure what's happened with the JB keyboard...

And this is with 'very aggressive' auto correcting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
Hello Guys I got a question here concerning the google factory image

I followed the method where i have to extract everything and use the command fastboot flash Bootloader,Radio,Boot,Userdata,System and recovery

so this method needed the image-takju-jro03c.zip extracted too and flashing everything manually and when you flash the userdata.img this command will wipe everything on the sdcard including your personal data such as pics and videos

so there is another method where you just flash the bootloader and the radio manually and then use the command fastboot -w update or fastboot update for the image-takju-jro03c.zip without extracting it

my question is do the 2nd method wipe everything too ? because if it just wipe the data/cache but not the personal data like unlocking the bootloader do that will be really a massive time saving
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As I had indicated in the first post of the "flash" link on my signature, you can try skipping flashing the userdata image. However, depending on which apps you have installed, your device may not boot. To fix this, boot into CWM and wipe data. Your data in /sdcard will still be there, but you will need to install your apps.

If you want to use the fastboot update command, use it without the "-w" option. This will not wipe, but again, there is a chance that it won't boot, and you will have to use CWM to wipe data.

Edit: the only way to update and be sure everything will work is to use the update files found in the "update" link in my signature. But that requires you to already be on takju or yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D3VI0US:
so from what i got it .. flashing through fastboot commands either wiping data/cache and sdcard or not wiping anything at all

it would be cool if it can wipe only data/cache and leave the sdcard

the thing is i'm putting tutorials to cover this stuff on my website in Arabic and i have to try everything myself to be able to know what i'm telling ppl to do and most of users need simple way without headache and i'm trying to provide it as simple as i can

so correct me if i'm wrong if i can put it in steps like the following :

1-boot into recovery and wipe data/cache

2-boot into fastboot and flash the bootloader and the radio then use the command fastboot update image-takju-jro03c.zip

the outcome i will get from this is Stock JRO30C but no apps means clean install JB Stock Rom right ?

but still if the phone wasn't already on yakju or takju this method won't work right ?

Thanks efrant you're doing a pretty good job by helping me really
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your two steps are correct, although I would do them in the opposite order. And when you say "boot into recovery", you need to be careful -- you should say boot into a custom recovery or CWM. Because don't forget: CWM will not erase /sdcard when you wipe data, but the stock recovery will.

And yes, that will leave you with a clean JRC03C (no apps installed) and all your data on /sdcard will still be there.

And no, you do not need to be on yakju or takju for that to work. (But you are not really updating doing it that way -- you are just flashing a full ROM. You are just replacing whatever ROM was there with a new one. The "update" link in my signature shows you how to update the ROM you are on to the new version. The end result is similar, but all your apps and settings are preserved when doing the update.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdadev_sj:
when is JellyBean out for CDN Bell phones ?

I am running ICS on Bell Canada's network and don't see any update available ?

settings > about phone > system updates ???

do I continue to wait ? or shall I install a jellybean ROM ?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It makes no difference what network you are running on. What makes a difference is what build of Android your devices is running. Assuming you bought your device in Canada, you are running a yakjuux build of Android -- and there is no Jelly Bean update for yakjuux. The only stock builds of Jelly Bean are yakju and takju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
it certainly makes a difference here in Australia which carrier you're on; not that any have got to jelly bean, but my carrier still has its nexus customers on 4.0.1, and the largest one is only on 4.0.3.

But then, a) we get ****e service from our telcos, and b) I guess if you buy a gnex and don't root and flash a ROM it kinda serves you right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Again, it is not the carrier. It is the version of Android that the device is running. It just so happens that all Canadian carriers sell their devices with the same build, while Australian carriers do not.

And there never was a 4.0.3 build for the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superted125:
Just wanted to say thanks for this post. Very useful for people new to Android and Jellybean alike :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
Just download the stock image from Google site I.e 4.1.1 and then you are onto stock jellybean. Then you will always receive updates from Google rather than waiting for your carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dyingearth:
Is there Verizon LTE images?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Are there any rumblings about a 4.1.2 update? There are really obnoxious issues with the JB keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
No. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Have you used Swype? I don't use anything else these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp13:
i hope they fix the gradient issue and fix touch screen issues. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 9unk:
+1 to this. Once you swype you'll never type.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Or you could try _any_ other keyboard. I use SwiftKeyX, which is awesome. I have seen your grumblings across several threads about the keyboard issues. I wish I could help you, but I stopped using stock keyboard with Froyo, and paid the 4$ for swiftkey. Money well spent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
I've tried many keyboards, including Swype, Swiftkey, Thumb keyboard, Smart Keyboard Pro, etc. They all have their strengths and weaknesses (and glitches), but ultimately, I like the stock keyboard. I do appreciate the suggestions.

Regardless, Google needs to address the issues, especially considering they weren't there in ICS. : (
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sugarcos:
hi,

anyone has sound problems with sopcast? i mean no audio output?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pockyrocky:
OK, I just root my google nexus to Jelly Bean.

But unfortunately I can't recevie any message and I can't call anyone..:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
Did you do a full wipe? Did you also try to flash a radio or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joe K:
It could also be that you flashed the incorrect version of the rom.

There is Toro (Verizon), Maguro, and Toroplus. If you flash the wrong one on your phone everything will boot up and work (personal experience), but you won't be able to connect to 3g or get a cell signal at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hachamacha:
Apps Broken by JB?

Is there an app 'compatibility matrix' (I just mean a list of apps that became incompatible from ICS to JB) that details which apps no longer work (until or unless updated by the author) after the switch to JB?

I tried to find that in this thread, and of course I run across mentions of various apps that don't run correctly or at all in JB, but would like to see a list to see if there's any 'show-stoppers' before I install JB.

I guess I'm not unhappy with ICS on the Nexus yet but if I were to see that I weren't about to lose something important , then the few benefits that JB brings would really be much more appealing.

Thanks for either any information or a point in the right direction or just using this thread (or any other you point me to) to write down "apps broken in JB".

Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The only two apps that I noticed that don't work properly in JB are CallRecorder and LBE Privacy Guard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
Do you know if lbe will be updated?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No idea. Why not ask the dev?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ratedr75:
Got my update on Saturday and have noticed that a couple of my apps are not working properly anymore, Also I noticed that on my update I didnt get Chrome installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Chrome is the default Browser for any device that is shipped by Google and that was designed for Jelly Beans or newer... (right now, this means only the 7" tab)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
Is this really an issue though? It's only a click away in the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
I believe that no one is telling that this is an issue, ratedr75 tought that it was part of Jelly Beans for GN and was thinking that there was something wrong with his update/flashing, and we are just explaining that it is not part of Jelly Beans and it is expected that Chrome is not part of the device built in software..:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garycoleman:
I noticed my battery life doubled with I disabled all of the syncing options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Absolutely. If you disable all the sync options, you will get significantly more battery/screen-on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Npazos:
JB is most better than ICS !!!! Try it !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
My goodness, I can't express what a gigantic step back the keyboard has taken in JB. I've noticed sometimes there are randomly capitalized letters (on top of the other problems I mentioned before: missing auto corrections, back spacing glitches).

JB desperately needs an update to address these issues, none of which were ever in ICS.

It's ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
How many times can you repeatedly complain about the same thing? As I recall, numerous people (including me) have tried to make suggestions but nothing is acceptable. Unless you're fixing it, stop commenting about it please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CliveCleaves:
Agreed, I find I can't go back to stock after using SwiftKeyX. Love that app.

Though I did seem to notice a few problems with that keyboard on certain apps that have autocomplete functions in ICS. (Like in Chrome, if you were actually at google.com and went to search, and searching on the IMDB app). Not sure if these are individual app issues, or ICS incompatibility issues with swiftkey...

Either way getting up to 4.1.1 seemed to fix any issues I had. JellyBean is pretty fantastic.

New OTA to JB?

Wierd story but...

Phone (Galaxy Nexus Bell Canada with JB) was low on charge (4%) so I turned it off as I was no where near a charge.

Got home and turned it on before I plugged it into a charger and saw the green android robot on the screen.. it said it was updating and not to turn off the power. I scrambled to find the charger but when I went to plug it in the screen was blank. Hit the power button and the screen came up but it looked funky (washed out) and the screen was unresponsive and then it powered off. Held the power button down until it booted up and phone went through the motions and started up. Every thing works fine but was there a recent update to JB? My phone says 4.1.1 and I can't recall if that is what was there before.

So just wondering what happened and if the phone dies during the part that it said don't turn power off.. what would have / could have happened?

Since everything seems to be working fine (other then crappy signal lately) should I even bother with it?

If I somehow corrupted the upload what can I do about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techspecs:
4.1.1 is the latest version. That is certainly a strange experience though. If everything appears normal now I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you on stock software or custom or aosp? Most of the time, coming off stock will prevent updates to the phone altogether.
