Phone Stuck on Google logo with blackground

Hello Everyone,

First of all thank you for your post. My nephew phone was constantly rebooting after he performed OTA update. Did some search online and did a factory reset from bootloader then wiped the cache. The phone then will be stuck on Google logo. I've tried leaving it on for few hours and still nothing.

I came across this forum and followed the step by step instruction on how to Restore to stock ROM. Tried couple of the images but Odin shows failed. Finally one of them worked and the phone rebooted after it was complete. Now the phone is still stuck on Google screen.

What am I doing wrong? Please Help.

Thanks in advance.

Phone: GT-I9250M

The phone is completely stock. Not rooted and no custom rom

As for thanks !

Used all my 8 thanks :)

Couldn't boot on fastboot, used Odin and another thread and now I'm on ICS with data wiped... but I already did transfere everything to my laptop.

I was too late to use your work, but it will now help me getting 4.3 instead of NRT, thanks :)

Cant flash using Odin

Hello,

I have Gnex GSM Maguro, Yakju rooted, using stock 4.3 but installed Xposed module

About two days back my phone started rebooting and battery started draining drastically

My phone reboots till my homepage and restarts again. This happens again and again

I have tried going stock by using Wugs Nexus root toolkit but to no avail.

Than as a last resort I used Odin but half way through it freezes and shows 'FAIL'. This has happened many times and I have tried Odin by changing usb ports

I have been using original USB cable which came with the phone

My phone is my daily driver and am stuck without any phone.

Someone please help me out

Try using different version of Odin. Worked for me but I have another problem...:(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] valkata1212:
I got the same problem as this guy. Some time ago I did this operation without any problems or errors, but today it shows me FAIL. I tried everything described in the first post. Downloaded a newer version of odin, changing USB port, changing USB cable .. nothing. Every time it stops on ~45% and gives FAILED.

EDIT: I tried to flash stock with FASTBOOT, and again it goes well and freezes at the half operation, this happens when its trying to "flash:system" / "writing system..."

May i use this restore image of 4.3 on my phone that is currently on 4.2.1 Build Number: JOP40D.I9250UGMA2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AutomationLab:
I used the non-wipe version, and what should I say, all my datas ar gone, I've lost all my photos and everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killchain:
I was forced to use this method - yesterday my Nexus started rebooting by itself and hasn't managed to boot once ever since. I tried the first two downloads and if I try to flash PIT and system, it fails every time. If I only flash PIT, it succeeds, but makes no difference - the storage seems to be non-writeable. I managed to pull my data from the device, but every attempt to write to the device fails - no files stick after a reboot, no flash can be done in recovery or using fastboot. I think I've tried everything from the troubleshooting list except for another PC (which I may try tonight). Any ideas?

Have you tried nexus root toolkit. I had this issue and used it to flash stock recovery. That's what your missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
it is the stock recovery sir, press volume up or down to enter recovery(i guess with power)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharathnair_2190:
No luck whatsover

I tried all the steps mentioned on your page.. When i click the start button the tool starts working as you mentioned and after say 5-10 mins ,i get an FAIL comment and when i c my fone the downloading is only half way :-/.. Please help..i had custom rom SLIMKAT flashed and now my phone keeps on rebooting... Thanks in anticipation of your cooperation... i tried flashing stock ROM with ADT / WUG fresh tool but no luck...

Is there any admin looking after this thread .!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrislam1220:
Thank you very much, you save my phone.

However, I didn't finish the last step "Step 10) Turn off your phone, boot into recovery, wipe cache partition, reboot. " as I don't know how to boot into recovery after backing to stock.

Luckily the phone can still be used. You are really great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] descafesinnes:
Thank you a million

Hi, I wanted to thank you a million for this superb guide. After trying many solutions, that never worked, this one worked on the first try.

I recommend this to all my friends that have problems with their phones. YOU are THE ONE!

I Praise your instruction for their simplicity and especially for the fact that THEY WORK!

Thank you again and may you have a long and prosperous life. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PGHammer:
Agreed.

The only reason I don't use ODIN is because the Universal Android Toolkit does all that and more (and it supports a lot of non-Samsung devices as well).

For some reason the no-wipe zip deletes all userdata... While a normal zip from Samsung doesn't delete anything...

Hello, could you please check where I am going wrong , i tried these files which you provided in odin. But for some reason. its showing as failed everytime i press start. I know there is something wrong on my side. Please let me know how can i bring it back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Follow the op.

I need more info

It may help:

-First make sure that downloaded package is not corrupted by checking md5 sum.

-be sure that u have gsm nexus.

-uninstall & reinstall driver.

- disable kies program. End all process (everything running in background).

-disable antivirus program.

-use original usb cable.

-try other usb port.

-try different version of odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bindudhindsa:
yes its nexus gsm, i have tried few version but i will try all of them and let u know. i will try all steps u provided here and will get back to you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eodum:
hi samersh72,

first of all thanks for the instructions and upload. I've tried to restored my soft-bricked nexus using your way, but got stuck at

" <ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!! " for more than 20 minutes without any sign of progress. Can you tell what's the issue? and is there a fix for

this?

thanks!

ps: never root my phone, and it crashed without a reason suddenly. since then I can't even boot-up my phone, stuck at "Google" logo ( I assume it's now bricked? ).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Did you download the new package uploaded 2 days ago?

See 3 post above your post, it may help.

If not try flashing using fastboot command.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eodum:
yes, i've used the latest package.

i did try to flash using fastboot command, but failed as well...

when required to oem unlock my device, my phone stuck at the "Unlock bootloader?" screen ( for hours without any sign of progress! )

by the way, i've also tried your advices ( use different USB port, install-reinstall drivers etc...) and even tried Odin v1.87, the result is still the same though, stuck at " <ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!! " :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phusio:
Hi , thanks for this manual. Am i going to receive google OTA updates with this rom , like stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
yes. you will be on 100% stock 4.2.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phusio:
sweet thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
I think my nexus is yakju? So can i use this guode to update to 4.2.2??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Yes, it will become takju (better for ota update)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
So can i do it by odin without fear. Coz its my bros phone and i don't want to mess with it.i mean it will not mess with hardware right?

And will it get the network signals in U.S.A?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
If you do it properly so it is safe (be sure to have the original usb cable and it is important to stop every action for kies. Stop every process of it in task manager). If you are not familiar with odin,Try to use before fastboot commands it is more safer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
And will it get the network in USA??:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Since it is gsm (not verizon or sprint), then yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
And one more question do i need to do step 5. Coz i dont knw if partition table is corrupted or not.

And the link you gave is a lengthy procedure & I'm comfortable with odin. So I'll go with ur method.:thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
No need. DO NOT TICK RE-PARTITION
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
I flashed it succesfully:thumbup:thanks.

But thought that after flashing the camera would start working but it says "gallery has stopped" so how can i fix the camera issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Go to app, gallery, clear data, force stop then open camera, or wipe cache via recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
Can u tell combo for recovery?. The clearing data do not help:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Turn off your phone, press and hold down Volume Up and Down keys + Power button at the same time until fastboot (bootloader) mode (image of an Android with Start) appears then release the keys. Press volume up or down and select recovery by pressing power button. (For stock recovery, when you see an android logo with exclamation mark, press power + volume up to see the recovery menu).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
Done...i cleared th cache. Again when i turned on the phone, same msg comes " gallery has stopped":(:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
it is weird! if you go to gallery, it will open normally?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
Yes. Now i find out that bluetooth is also not working.its oNly sending files and not able to receive the files.:(:(:(:(:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
are you sure :confused: make the device discoverable. you are the only user that report about such issues! any way, wipe data and cache from recovery then reflash via odin, then wipe data and cache again. this file contains pure official stock images!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
Do u think that it can be a hardware issue?

Ok I'll do that when i reach home.

Btw can you pm ur no. So i can talk to you on whatsapp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
how it was before??? it must be the same. did you put the device visible by others in bluetooth settings???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atishey23:
It was fine before

Yes i did made it visible.

Can i get ur no. For whatsapp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
pm you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madforsoccer:
bootlooped!!!

Hi ,

Seems your method works for everyone apart from me.

I accidentally wiped my "System,internal storage,cache,dalvik-cache,etc) basically i selected all in custom recovery. So having a ROM les phone i tried flashing CM10 on my GNEX but was stuck in boot-loop.

Tried the normal method of flashiong google image for JB and then the ODIN method in this thread, but every time it leads to boot-loop.

I also observerd in my internal storage data folder just contained a media folder n nothing else.

Please help me use my GNEX back.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Before and after flashing via Odin or fastboot, wipe data and cache with stock recovery, reboot

Did you flash pit file with the firmware? Did Odin say "pass"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madforsoccer:
Yes I wiped the data and cache before ODIN. Also , I flashed PIT and got a PASS .

Still boot looping . (Kept it on for 3 hrs + then removed the battery to switch OFF)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madforsoccer:
Hi samersh72 : FYI.. After the PASS on scree my phone shows the Nexus X and just stays there - bootloop. I watched some videos on YT and found that initially after PASS some kind of logs are displayed on the mobile screen after which the mobile actually starts. I am not able to view these logs, its just the logo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
The problem is not flashing with fastboot or odin, they gave same result. Maybe a partition is corrupted in your gnex. Try to flash boot image only via fastboot. And i will see today if i can extract param partition from my gnex to flash it.

Since your phone can boot in fastboot and recovery mode so there is always a solution
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madforsoccer:
It is done!!!

SUCCESS... thanks all for the help, . It seems you have to jump back to the android version when it was made. 4.2.2 did not work but 4.0.4 worked out. Dunno why but glad it worked ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Glad to hear that.

Lol went to 4.0.4 saved your phone!

Did you flash 4.0.4 via fastboot or odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeriquedeCoux:
currently stuck on <ID:0/003>SetupConnection.. also, i'm supposed to hit the "Start" key on the Odin program, not my GNex, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
yes hit start in odin only.

read carefully steps in op

"ID com" in odin must turn blue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeriquedeCoux:
it did turn blue. only thing i can think of is virus protection?? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
disable anti virus in your pc

change usb port

use original cable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeriquedeCoux:
but i already initialized it and it's been stuck on that setup connection bit forever...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
there is something wrong with the driver, uninstall it then reinstall it.

you can install kies for driver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeriquedeCoux:
no i installed kies fine, it's not running in the background, i'm plugged into a rear usb port and my pc did say drivers installed successfully when i plugged in in odin mode. box turned blue i did the pit and re partition. i didn't undo virus until after though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Dont use pit file alone but with the firmware. Put .tar in pda

make sure you unziped the file, try to put odin and pit file and .tar.md5 file on desktop not in any folder.

if not there is something in usb cable or usb port try to change them

or use other computer

EDIT: if you boot into fastboot mode and connect your phone, open cmd and type "fastboot devices" does the computer recognize your phone?

how can i re start though? won't i brick my device if i unplug now?

No recovery?

Thank you very much, I've used this two times now ( Yes I love to screw around with my phone), I even referred it to a friend!

Last time I did it, CWM recovery was still there, and I was happy for that!

However this time, no recovery was found at all ( you know that open android with a red exclamation mark), I wanted to do last step which was wiping cache.

Can I now flash CWM recovery normal, or there is something wrong and I must do another step before doing so!

Note that I used your way because I wanted to try roms and restore to stock easily!

Thanks in advance :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mohdhamm:
Thanks! ;)

Thanks both for the quick response, I appreciate it a lot :laugh:

you just made my day :victory:

One last question: I was using your rom, and at one point after updating all apps, it just started randomly crashing.

I tried removing some of the apps that were crashing in the background, but with no success, the phone was still crashing.

I tried wiping both cache and Delvik cache, still no success, until yesterday it was unbearable crashing every two minutes and finally crashing while rebooting!!

I tried flashing a new rom, but CWM said File could not be found.

Tried restoring an earlier backup made before all this fuss, but also with no success.

So I thought this was the only way again ( you don't want to know what happened last time :P)

Anyway, can you tell why this was happening?

And no, no crashing after the re-stocking this time.

I'd understand if you chose not to answer this question, so it's okay.

Thanks again for saving me :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
This is pure stock images by google. I advise to wipe data and cache before and after flashing with odin.

Even if odin is the fastest way to revert to stock, i always prefer using fastboot commands to flash stock images for nexus series.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdhanush1:
Noob question..

I mmyself bought a galaxy nexus and it still has 4.1 on it so is it recommended to flash stock 4.2 and flash 4.2 bases Roms or can I directly flash newer custom roms...

I thought this would be a right thread as it relates to flashing of stock firmware.

Sent from my awesome Xperia Z
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
I have headd of users having that issue after flashing via odin but like samersh said doing a factory reset usually fixes the issue

Since you aee trying to upgrade OS versions i recommend first flashing the 4.2.2 factory image and then flashing custom roms

PS- samersh i hope you dont mind me ansering questions here, i know its yipour thread but i am just trying to help :beer:
