i flashed the ics leak with odin and rooted it and now it wont restart or power off i have to do a battery pull. it freezes on the power off screen. it doesnt seem to affect anything else its just very anoying. does anyone know how i can fix this?

it is a known issue with ics, the search feature is ur friend . Only known fiz right noe is either a)quickboot app from market, or b)14 toggle mod for ics

Or hold power for 12 seconds.

I have this issue when running the deodexed/zipaligned version, but not the straight Odin flash.

Just need to keep wiping & reflashing. I didn't have this problem on my first or fourth flashes, but I did on my second and third flashes.

I had this problem along with the dead home and search buttons. I did a factory data reset and everything is fine. The only recurring issue is the the mms app freezing when attempting to delete a thread.

Sounds like left over data, bad download, bad flash, or a combo of those

I'm going to make a shot in the dark and ask if u have uclcl5 installed as ur radio. If so I causes major flash issues for me on a fresh rom install. So much so I have to flash cla4 first, then a new from, then cl5 again to get it to work

sometimes for no reason band corruption occurs. I suggest the following in can
factory reset 3x
format system 3x
wipe dalvik cache 3x
dark side 2x
Odin back stock
reboot twice
Odin can
dark side again
flash custom rom
I had similar problems to you and this looking procedure cured them.

I have the same problem with my fiancée phone which I am on right now. Shuts off and starts repeatedly vibrating on a stock non rooted phone.... I never got around to rooting this phone, unless she did it and didn't tell me.but assuming this isn't rooted what do I do?

Pull the battery plug in the USB cable and put the battery back in. Charge it. Mine did that when the batt died. Wouldn't even charge etc.. gotta trick it into booting then leave it for a while let it charge. Wipe battery stats if your rooted cwm etc...

Sounds like a stuck on/off button. Unfortunately it's been fairly common. It's been discussed many times in the forums

[Q] Imp:Phone wont start up.PLS HELP

Hi,
So i decided to install NOVA launcher and kept it as default launcher.
No when i wanted to go back to google launcher the system was getting crashed and some error like : "systemui" is not working was poping up.
Meanwhile i was getting notifications of whatsapp messenger and i could use it but when i was trying to exit the app , again the problem occured.
Thats when i decided to reboot the phone to my bad luck it is not going further after "FOUR CIRCLES(red,green,yellow and blue) which comes after google logo.
I had previously owned S2 and when i used nova launcher and tried to switch back ( aftr uninstalling nova) it automatically use to use google launcher.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
V

If it won't boot you may have to fastboot the factory image can you get into recovery and do you have a custom recovery If so try clearing cache in it

I need you to answer a few questions before anyone can help...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Eg. TWRP or CM?)
- If not, are you rooted?
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery?
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty?
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone.
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.
In not an advanced user but I know done stuff... And there's always a way!

Gave good 10 + mins
Will try it one more time.I guess it should hardly take about 30 secs or so.

Oh, and also, see if you can fastboot by pressing the power button and volume down whilst booting up. If you can't, then try pressing power button + volume up + volume down whilst booting up.

- If not, are you rooted? NO
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery? NO,I dont mind if my data is lost
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty? YES,but now i stay in different country.so count it as NO
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone. have been using since 2 months

I can do that , it is showing me options over there like recovery,poweroff,bootloader recovery,etc.

If factory reset doesn't work then you option is to flash the factory image. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

This is probably why it crashed. Your phone doesn't have a launcher to boot into. That's the reason it is boot looping. As mentioned earlier, you'll have to flash the factory image.

Yea, i feel the same. I forgot it was google launcher and its a nexus phone.
If it would have been some other trebuche launcher(like in samsung) , this problem would'nt have persisted.

That is the stock recovery. You can press both volume buttons at the same time, to show the recovery options.
Flashing the factory image is very easy. You put your phone in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer, and simple run the Flashall.bat (or .sh depending on your OS.)
Touchwiz Home in Samsung devices does not rely on google search. Our Nexus has a launcher that requires google search to run. Otherwise you can install AOSP launcher.

@vzuwOw if you run into this problem again just fastboot flash the system.img, not the flash-all.bat. it would have kept the rest of your settings and you wouldn't have to redo your while phone.

[HELP] Maybe a hardware defect. Phone keeps rebooting, evrything even fastboot

Hello,
I had latest PA, Uber kenel and Multirom installed. Suddenly my phone reboots and keeps to reboot. Only MultiRom is accessible for a greater amount of time. But reboots to, as well as fastboot and recovery does not even start.
Can someone please help me? :/ I would really appreciate an answer.

Return to stock. See if it still happens. First step in troubleshooting potential hardware issues

Try to get to bootloader from multirom which i believe is a modified twrp so tap reboot and then bootloader and tell us what it says or if its just a normal bootloader screen
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

May be the power button is stuck?? Try pressing it hard a few times and see if it loosens up??

I cant return to stock because it keeps rebooting, so bootloader did not work too.
But @vin4yak was right button was stuck! And everything is back to normal. But thank you all for your quick replies
