My brothers Galaxy Nexus crashed two days ago and rebooted. Since than whenever you boot it again, it boots normally but after about 10 seconds crashes and reboots again. No matter if you unlock it, SIM installed or not, with external power or not makes no difference. Always keeps crashing and rebooting. So the first thing I did was a factory reset within the bootloader. When it restarted nothing was wiped. Wallpaper, unlock code and all apps were still there.
Weird.
So I decided to flash the the whole stock image again. Downloaded the latest version from Google and flashed it. Took a fairly long time (30 minutes), but had no errors or irregularities and had the same result as the factory reset -> nothing. Everything is still there.
How can this even be? The only thing I could imagine is a broke storage. Is this a possibility?
Thanks in advance
