Hi

My nexus has problems with booting. The nexus logo appears for a few seconds then dissapears and i have to remove the battery.
I can get into recovery mode, but it also shutdown after a few seconds.

But if i try enough times the phone does boot and can work normaly for weeks so long i don't turn it off.

I have updated from 2.1 to 2.2 froyo without any changes.
Anyone got any suggestions for this one?

And no i don't have warranty

Since i cant post youtube links, please use this search word "_bIfvl6Cuts" and you will find the video of the boot attempts.

hm... looks like the top led is blinking?
seems to be a hardware defect, sorry
you should contact htc support and if you don't have warranty you'll have to pay.

but maybe i'm wrong and it is a software thing (but i really don't think so)

Hi.

Please go to settings/privacy/factory data reset.

Now get into recovery. Wipe everything (cache, dalvik, sd...) then restart and apply again a factory reset.

I hope it isn't any kind of VIRUS made available by Mr Jobs before announcing they are to refund their retard costumers because the antennagate...

I have done factory reset, but since my phone isnt rooted i cant clear cache & dalvik ?

And the led that is blinking, cant bee seen with the eye ?
Its a IR led / face sensor ?

perhaps the problem is that you recorded it with an iphone? j/k
it does look like the ir led and not the standard led.

did this problem start occurring when you upgraded to 2.2?
did you upgrade with the OTA update or did you download it from somewhere?

I'm not sure but can the 2.2 update be reflashed? Perhaps something went wrong in the upgrade process.

I got the phone second hand for free, beacuse of the problems. The problem existed on 2.1 updated that was on it.
The update was also from OTA.

So i can rule out firmware update failure
