Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is anyone who has recently been able to flash their nexus and have it successfully start and continue to do so, even after a restart.

Been try to ages to fix this issue. People say you can fix it buy disabling the 2 cores so that there is only 4, at the cost of some performance, by flashing some custom IMG file. I have been trying for ages using different posts and files and versions... etc etc.

Also would someone be willing to explain technically why supposedly disabling the 2 cores helps. Do they fail or something on start-up with causes the loop? Like, what's happened/happening to them to cause this?

Thanks in advance.
