Recovery:
Reproducing the issue:
Beginning with a fastboot factory flashed image that has been rooted/CWM'd:
Result:
Phone hangs at Google screen. Attempts to recover with nandroid backups results in a boot loop regardless of formatting actions taken in CWM
... 5-min wait to edit my own post? ugh...
- Download GNT (Google Nexus Toolkit)
- Boot phone into fastboot with volume up + volume down + power on
- If you haven't backed up your internal storage, STOP HERE and see below
- Use GNT to flash the most recent stock image for your device from Google
- Open a command window and navigate to the GNT installation directory
- Create a directory in the GNT installation directory called "sdcardbackup" or something similar
- Execute "adb-toolkit.exe shell"
- At the shell prompt, execute "mount /data" and exit the shell
- Execute "adb-toolkit.exe pull /data/media sdcardbackup" to copy your sdcard data to the local directory. This may take a while.
- Proceed with recovery.
Reproducing the issue:
Beginning with a fastboot factory flashed image that has been rooted/CWM'd:
- Flash Vicious 4.1.1 JB AOSP V1
- Flash Faux B9 kernel (also occurs with B8, and non-faux kernels)
- Complete phone setup. At this point everything seems to be fine.
- Reboot using power button menu option "Reboot" - Have not reproduced with "Power Off" and turning the unit back on
