[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm also stuck on the Google boot screen after installing the 4.2 OTA on my stock, rooted Nexus 7, and I've tried the following:

- Wiped cache.

- Re-flashed the 4.2 OTA (build JOP40C) from stock recovery via adb.

- Flashed TWRP (via Wug's Root Toolkit) and renamed Superuser.apk, assuming that was the issue.

- Re-flashed the 4.2 OTA (build JOP40C) from custom recovery via WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.5.

Nothing worked -- it's still locked up on the Google screen at boot. How do I fix this (ideally without wiping my user data)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Transisto:
Same here, didn't try all you did.

I'll try to descibe what I did to see similarities,

I had my N7, Rooted 4.1.2, unlocking via face-lock, , I has just installed last update from super su, had root protection enabled,

I'm willing to pay 2.7 Bitcoins, (~31$) to someone helping me fix it without reinstalling everything.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
Just an update on my situation: Since adb still worked from the Google boot screen, I managed to batch pull my TitaniumBackup folder down onto my PC. I went ahead and flashed back to stock (good guide here, for anyone who needs it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781250), updated, re-flashed SuperSU and Busybox, and restored all my backups without any issues.

First time I've actually had to do that, but I'm happy to see that my daily TiBu backup schedule paid off, and I'll probably feel much more confident repeating the process in the future.

Anyway, I'm assuming the issue had something to do with the SuperSU apk, as others here have guessed. I, too, had SuperSU's survival mode enabled (which I've disabled) -- and I also had OTA RootKeeper installed (which I've now ditched), In the future, I'll probably just err on the side of caution and fully unroot before applying an OTA; it's easy enough to just re-root, rather than rolling the dice with any sort of survival mode.

And if SuperSU ISN'T the issue, I'd sure like to know what is!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdmiralAqbar:
Hi guys, my girlfriend updated to 4.2 yesterday, and it was fine up until her battery died. so she charged it and then tried to turn it on, and it was in an endless boot loop first starting with the google logo coming up, then itll go kinda staticy and go to the X (and sorry for my future description) but then the screen will look like its in the matrix? If that makes sense. I can provide a picture if needed, but then itll just reboot and do the same thing over and over again. We went to Virgin and called samsung and they both said the same thing that the system would have to be recovered. Virgin, however directed me over to use Odin. I've never really used Odin before and am not sure what to do, so would someone mind helping me out with this issue? i've tried going into recovery menu as well, but it doesn't work. I really appreciate the answer in advance!!!!! Her phone is the galaxy nexus.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
AdmiralAqbar, if you need to return your Nexus 7 to stock, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781250

You could also boot into recovery (hold Volume Up and Down keys while you power on, then select Recovery from the list), and then try to return to stock from there (in Recovery, press Power and Volume Up at the same time, and there should be an option in the resulting list).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdmiralAqbar:
I didn't even realize this was a nexus 7 thread i'm sorry! I just noticed the same problem so i clicked into this thread haha, she has the Galaxy Nexus i9250. And i tried that, and then it'd just reboot. I'm assuming the recovery menu is corrupt maybe? Would i be able to follow the same steps in that guide for her phone?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
Yeah, recovering a Galaxy Nexus shouldn't be any different.

What happens when you boot into recovery? Do you see the Android mascot with its chestplate open and a red exclamation mark?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdmiralAqbar:
The first time i tried to hit reocvery it showes that for not even a second and then did the reboot loop again -.- and I tried to see if it would work again and it wouldn't, just rebooted itself.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
That doesn't sound good. Can you issue adb commands while the device is trying to boot? If so, try re-flashing the stock recovery image (using WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to make it as easy on yourself as possible).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdmiralAqbar:
How do i go about issuing adb commands, is that possible with the phone being off? She might've turned her debugging mode off so I'm not too sure. Cause if I was able to do that that'd be great as wugs toolkit isn't hard to use :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcs408:
I'd say just install the toolkit and see if that works for you. If not, I dunno what the solution is...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheunt:
For my N7, I had to return to stock 4.1.2 before the 4.2 OTA would work. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.5 to return to stock 4.1.2.

Good luck.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
I've got a galaxy nexus and I'm here because I have the exact same issue after installing supersu with the option to survive OTA's. I did manage to restore an nandroid from before the OTA using the GN toolkit but for some reason it still wont get passed the google screen. This is apparently a really bad problem. I'm trying the nandroid restore again but I don't expect different results.

EDIT: the toolkit says it pushed the nandroid to the clockworkmod folder but when you go to select the folder to do the restore clockworkmod says "no files found"

I've tried mounting the SD

EDIT: Gave up. Installed stock image. Lost data on internal SD. I had a nandroid and a titanium but not a very recent backup of SD. Moral of the story. backup everything before an OTA
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baggaman:
Hello,

after I spent hours with fixing my HTC Desire I wanna share how I made it!

First of all I had the problem that the screen turned of when I started a call.

I checked if the sensor is still working by using a really bright flashlight. ( I just pointed on the place where the sensor is)

The screen turned on again.

So i noticed it cant be broken cause it still responds.

I opened the whole phone (instructions from youtube) and cleaned the sensor and also the window of the sensor. (That was not the point why it was broken)

The seat for the sensor is covered by a small glassy plastic thing, and maybe it went old or whatever but I just removed this plastic thing and now all works fine again.

And for all who dont know the proximity sensor is the one which is closer to the HTC-Logo.

Maybe it helps you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
So I unlocked my HTC ONE X Rogers and I am un-certain as to what is the next step before I can try to get CM10 on my phone. I've yet to find a guide for this anywhere that is 100% accurate.

If anyone would be able to kindly point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
You unlocked what, the bootloader? If so, your next step would need to be to flash a custom recovery (twrp) via fast boot. After that step, you drag over a SU zip to your sdcard, and flash that via recovery. Then you have successfully rooted and installed a Recovery. If you need a step by step, follow the guides on the development stickies. I personally rooted and unlocked my cousins Onex yesterday using the methods on one root.com.. even though I'll probably be slapped around for admitting that on xda lol

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Okay, so 1 Unlock Bootloader check.

2) Flash twrp via fast boot.

3) Drag SU zip(?) no idea.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
First and foremost make sure that you properly mount and unmount the device from your computer not doing so will cause your internal memory to get corrupted. I have made that mistake twice even knowing about it. This means on your computer think of your phone as a USB drive.

Once you have flashed recovery,

You need to flash the boot.img that comes with the ROM that you want to install. (I have used X-factor tool, simply extract the boot.img from the zip package and put it in /data/kernel/ then from the menu select "install kernel using this command" and press Install)

Then reboot your device into recovery

mount your sdcard

upload your ROM to your phone, and GApps that will work with your ROM

unmount

Install your ROM.

Install your Gapps ( or you can reboot and then install them)

It has worked for me.

I hope that helps you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Why do I need X-Factor tool? is it not a matter of copy paste I guess? a bit confused on this front.

Mounting my sd card - how do I do that?

Link to Gapps download? or do I just install them via play store?

I am afraid to do all these steps. haha sorry for all the questions if I seem like a total idiot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
It is not a simple matter of just copy paste "to an extent" the tool gives the user a GUI to simplify the process this is the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 you need to go to his website to download the tool. It just makes it easier for people who are not too comfortable with the command prompt.

This tool goes from a locked phone to unlocked and rooted in "easier" to follow steps.

You unlock your boot loader,

Then Flash your Recovery

Then Flash your boot.img

Then install your ROM and Gapps and you are done.

About mounting/unmounting, if you have installed the recovery image (I use TWRP) when you enter recovery there is a menu, one of the options is Mount, if you click on that (and you have your phone connected to the computer via USB) then there will be several options, you want to mount your sdcard, if there is an "x" is already selected and just press "mount" then the system will mount your device as a external drive. At that point you copy your ROM and GAPPS to the phone.

To properly unmount think of your phone as a USB drive, on your computer screen (WIN) go to the notification and righ-click on the "USB" attached and select eject OR go to your "computer" window and right click on the drive that is your phone and the select eject. Once you have done that then on your phone you click unmount.

press the back arrow and go back to the main menu from there for to "Install",

select your ROM which should now be in your phone now and

slide to install.

Then to install your GApps follow the same install but this time select the gapps zip.

A link to the Gapps i can't give you since it depends on your rom if you are using CM10 just search CM10 gapps download and that will take you to the CM website.

after that reboot and you should be good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Everyone is confusing you in this thread. Download twrp. Install. Put ROM and gapps on SD card. Boot into twrp. Install ROM then gapps. That's it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Alright the only thing I am missing is GApps - where to find the right one? I've found a few on the forums but I am un-sure which one?

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

Alright, I wiped, installed both. and awaiting boot. so far I see "Cyanogen mod 10" with a circle and am pretty freaking excited. lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
yes those gapps are good,

No you do not need to do any of that since you are doing a clean install.

IF you see the circle then you are almost there :) !!!!

IMHO, Not everyone is as well versed as you are in this process, sometimes they need a more detailed description, anything that can me it easier for new user i think is generally better received.

telling him, install TWRD, install ROM install gapps, and you are done, doesn't help much if he is not familiar with any of this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
I wiped prior that should be alright though right? Not like it can hurt I don't think haha

When I did it on the menu, I wiped, then installed GApps then afterward I hit back, and selected CM10 and installed - is this okay?

The CM10 Screen is still showing, spinning for awhile now - how long does it take normally?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
It shouldn't take that long maybe a few seconds

make sure that you installed CM10 first

and then the apps,

Also did you flashed your boot.img? it happened to me that it would not load unless i flashed the boot.img initially.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Do I have to unzip it and put it on the sd?

I just tried to do CM10 alone, selected install from the list(its still zipped) then reboot and now it's at the circle again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
Well that is one weird step that has worked for me,

if you are using the X-factor tool, you extract the boot.img from the zip and put it in the folder ...\data\kernel\ within the x-factor folder in your computer not the phone.

Put your phone into fastboot mode (it should display fastboot USB)

Then you run the tool and on the left bottom side there is a menu, select "using this command" and press either install or flash i don't remember

Then try to reboot if your system load then you are good to go if not

then reisntall the ROM and the gapps

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if you are not using the X-factor tool then reboot into fastboot

unzip the boot.img in the same folder where you have fastboot (forgot make sure the DOS prompt is in the right folder where fastboot and boot.img are)

and run this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and then

fastboot reboot

if the system doesn't come up then reinstall the ROM and the gapps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Had a friend end up with the spinning circle splash. All he did was flash the boot.img again and it booted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Did all that. Still stuck on "CyanogenMod" spinning circle. : /
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Perhaps I have the wrong version on my phone of CM10 ?

I have the Rogers HTC ONE X

Details:

soft #: 1.94.631.3

SDK: 4.11

Ver; 4.0.3

Sense: 4

HTC ext: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4

Kernel: 3.0.8-01169-g209f9dc

root@ABM001 #1

SMP PREEMPT

Baseband: 0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L

Build #: 1.94.631.3 CL76063

Browser ver: WebKit/534.30

Perhaps I don't have the right version - can anyone hit me with a link to the stable most recent build? I believe I got the "Evita" version on the cm dl site.

This is the one I downloaded Version 10.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
hmmm...

revise the process again,

if your recovery is working

then flash your boot.img (make sure that you are actually flashing the boot.img) if you are not doing it properly then you will remain in the booting logo.

with X-factor make sure the boot.img is in the \kernel\ folder that is where the tool will look in order to flash if nothing is there then nothing will be flashed.

Flashing manually you need to make sure your boot.img is in the same folder as your fastboot script and then you need to run the command stated in the previous reply.

Then reboot, this has always been the main problem you need to make sure you are actually flashing the boot.img and then reboot your phone.

If the still no loading

then go into recovery

install your ROM

then install your gapps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
If I select the one I put on my SD card, should it be a zip, or the boot.img file only ? maybe that's where I am messing this up?

Edit: Nope, .zip only lol

I am still at the spinning circle. . . :(

I put the boot.img in my C:\hox (containing adb, adbwinapi.dll, boot.img,fastboot, Unlock_code)

and shift - Right click ->Open command from here, then did the commands you mentioned previously.

Then from there, spin circle.

Then I try to go in to recovery and install the rom from there and still after reboot spin circle.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
the evita version is the correct for the US and Canada versions,

try cleaning your cache

also what version of TWRP are you using?

try using twrp 2.3.1.0

in your phone only .zip

on your computer you use the .img for flashing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Where do I get that? It brings me to some goo manager? what's this? eughhh haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Yeah sorry, can't edit posts under 2 minutes.

I have the most recent version and clearing the cache didn't work either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
I wished i was home to try im instead of this (still in my office)

in any case

if you read every step carefully i do not see what can be wrong,

ok how about a factory reset to clean everything up,

go into fastboot (make sure you are in fastboot USB)

flash your recovery.img

get your ROM (evita) from cm10

extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it with fastboot (make sure you are in fastboot USB) or X-factor

load your ROM and your gapps to your phone

go into recovery and install your ROM and gapps

that is all there is to it, also make sure your phone does state

**tampered**

**unlocked**
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
Don't have a recovery img? Or at least I don't think I do. How do I go about doing this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XRACER:
huh!!!!!

if you said you had the latest TWRP, where did you get that??

ohhhh wait you used X-Factor?? if you did that then the recovery is under \data\recovery\ under the X-Factor folder.

or you can just download the image from the previous link to teh TWRP site.

then the command is

fastboot flash recovery ****.img (wherein **** is the name of your recovery image, usually recovery)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Killustration:
IT WORKED!!!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Just so you know. You don't need to flash boot.img before or anything.

Just open TWRP, wipe, install rom, install gapps, reboot, profit.

That's why I said people were confusing you as they were adding in extra steps like xfactor and flashing the boot.img when it is not necessary for your phone.

I love the stock rubber case that came with my HD2..in fact after the first one rotted i bought another one off Amazon for like $3.

The reason? it allowed me to keep a credit card and my drivers license underneath it (back of phone) so i was able to ditch my wallet completely.

Now as long as I hold onto my preccious...errr..phone..i never worry about anything.

This system has worked great for me for 3+ years..i'm hoping to find something similar for the Nexus 4. Anyone know of a good rubbery case that will allow me to stuff a couple credit cards in between it and the back of the nexus 4 and still seal around the phone itself?

Most cases simply fit too tightly (or they're hard shells) and leave no room for credit cards. While I understand wanting it to be snug, its frustrating that I can't find one that lets me stuff my cards in there.

This is relevant to my interests.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
Hmm, I think I know what you mean. You want a flexible case so you can take it off and put your credit cards in it and put the case back on? There are also these other ones that hold the cards outside the case, which I'm not sure if you've heard of or would like:
