Help I am an idiot, help!!

I was playing around with profiles in Tasker. I made a profile for the phone to reboot at a designated time. I unfortunately did not indicate an end time. Now my phone keeps rebooting. I cant boot into safe mode because the phone starts the reboot before I can get into that function. What can I do? I have a verizon galaxy nexus.

Interesting quandry. Do you have a nand backup that would not include this change? That might be the easiest solution. Pull battery, then press both volume buttons + power for bootloader > Recovery.

If not, there may be a better way than this but you could use ADB.

adb shell
cd /system/app
rm <filename>.apk (assuming Tasker but idk)

Not like you can't get it back later right? You'd have to set it back up again though unless you have a working copy of it backed up with Titanium or similar.

Good call, I will try to remove through adb, thanks!

I cant get anything to work. I am just going to wipe it and start over. Since I can't get into any menus, how can I wipe the phone? Can I do it from fastboot mode?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out.
