BRICKED my GALAXY NEXUS ...... But fixed it!!!!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I just got my Galaxy Nexus like most of us and was flashing stuff......
I want to revert back to stock, but am confused how to do it.
I have rom manager, and Clockwork on my galazy
I am familiar with entering recovery and then flashing ZIP files
I downloaded the file from the google guy the tgz file and unzipped it and tried to flash the zip of that, and it failed....
So how do I go back to stock
I am frantically trying to figure it out....
Please help if you can, I am trying to search but search is off for maintenance

Stuck at the Google screen with the lock

When you download the image files from google (take care what version you download, GSM or LTE) and you unzip the .rar, there is an .sh file (script to run in linux.Its equal to .bat (batch) file in windows) which is actually the code OP posts.

what do you mean by this? I tried rooting my nexus, and then now it's stuck in the google screen and won't come back. I would like to just revert back to stock and try again but I can't get past the google screen.

my galaxy nexus Says Dwonloading at the boot loader how can i stop that so i can fast boot?!

Stuck in Bootloop!! Please Help!!

I have the Nexus Galaxy GSM International version.
My phone just went into a bootloop and I can't figure out how to get it out.
I tried to factory reset straight from recovery mode, I was able to do the reset but the phone is still looping.
Then I unlocked the bootloader and tried to do a Factory reset and the same thing happend.... Boot LOOP!
Next thing i thought of doing is flashing the stock Image, Same thing happened the phone got stuck in a boot loop.
Sometimes if I let it loop for a bit it will load, othertimes it will just loop for ever.
I can't figure out the problem.
Please help!!
I am able to load the OS after about 3 minutes of looping.
Can anyone help me.
My phone now boots up but it gets stuck in a loop for about 3-5 minutes before it starts.
Download the galaxy nexus toolkit that is found in the development forum. boot into fastboot mode on your phone. Then use the toolkit 2 restore to stock, or install a custom rom. I personally recommend a o k p custom rom.

I have toolkit and I restored to stock.
This still did not help.
I wonder how many times will we read this kind of threads.... Does ppl even bother on using the search?
Dont get me wrong but theres a lot of ppl with similar issues and you can find a way out faster just by reading solved threads than waiting for answers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I read around and searched around I didnt find a resolution to my issue I wouldn't have posted a new thread if I was able to figure this out by looking at other people's problems
forget the toolkit and cwm learn to use fastboot to flash back to stock. lots of threads like this one out there.
I used fastboot to flash back to stock and i am still having the same issue.
My phone boots up, but it loops for about 3-5 minutes before it works.
what commands did you use for fastboot, did you use the fastboot in the toolkit or command prompt? what files did you use?
I used GalaxyNexusUnroot404 files. http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-n...galaxy-nexus-gsm-to-android-4-0-4-ota-imm76i/
I used command prompt.

try using the images on google's site instead. try both the yakju and takju from that page, i was going to say try some of the older ICL53F and IMM76D to see if they work but they are not on google's page for download anymore.
if that still doesnt work than im not sure what you can do, using those images always fixed a bootloop for me.
here's the link for IMM76I yakju and takju on google's servers. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Using Flashboot command prompt i flashed both yakju and takju, and I am still Looping!!
Any other ideas?
Bump
Use adb logcat to see WHY its bootlooping. "My device is in a bootloop" - great, thats really helpful.
fastboot erase userdata (warning: this will wipe sdcard)
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
Then reflash (flash them seperately, also no need to flash bootloader and radio again - explore that zip, theres a script there which executes commands to flash, enter them in order)

Stuck trying to install custom rom

Okay so I am trying to install the jdroid rom, btw first time ever doing this so bare with me, anyways I can't boot my phone stays at HTC quietly brilliant screen with some writing underneath it red. I can get into the bootloader menu, where I am rooted and says my bootloader is unlocked. I can also get into clockwork mod however I messed up when transferring the rom onto my phone. I unzipped it and put it there instead of leaving it in the zip file. I can't mount to my laptop through clockwork mod, is there any other way? Again I can't boot my phone. Thanks
EDIT: Now whenever my phone boots, it boots into the clockworkmod and keeps rebooting I can't do anything, cant mount my phone at all

You need to enter the fastboot mode ... hold "volume-down + powerbutton" for 10 secs and then again push the powerbutton to enter the fastboot mode.
Edit: and after that use the comand fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

What you need to do when flashing:
a) CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery xxxrecovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
b) Flashing a ROM
extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
enter recovery
install the ROM.zip
reboot

as long as you can get the correct RUU and flash the correct stock recovery, RUU will defo work, then you can start again from scratch. I've done this myself

Alright I got out of it using the st&t ruu, though I live in Canada and on Rogers. Data doesnt work but that is not surprise. Gotta wait for a root access and/or bootloader unlock for 1.85. will be patient.

fastboot issues - help seriously needed - device possibly bricked

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Gnexus in Brazil and after some tests, I decided to push Jelly Bean (v. 4.1.1). From my initial research, I've found out that step one would be replacing the brazilian ICS v. 4.02 image with a region free ICS v. 4.04. image. Here's what I've done:
a) First, I installed Gnex Toolkit v. 7.5 + drivers;
b) Then, I selected my phone model and build (ICL53F)/ICS v. 4.02, unlocked the device, downloaded the region free ICS 4.04 image (yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz) and moved it to "put_google_stock_images_here";
c) Finally, and moved to the "Download, Extract + Flash Google Factory Stock Rom";
d) The files could not be transfered, thou;
Some research revealed this command-line fastboot procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1572307
That's when things went terribly wrong. I used 7-zip to uncompress the .tgz file, then pushed the individual files one by one. In the end, I got stuck on the loading animation.
In desperation, I tried to revert using this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789179 and the same fastboot commands. The "system" copy failed and now I'm stuck on the Google logo. It's a mess...
Is there hope? Please, please, please I could use some help.
Would this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1781250 save my beloved Gnexus!? How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.
solution found! hope this can help others...
Well,
It looks like fastboot can also solve everything. My Gnexus is alive again. Here's what I did:
a) downloaded this image: takju-imm76i-factory-e8c33767.tgz;
b) uncompressed everything using 7-zip to a single folder, the same where fastboot-windows.exe is;
c) used those fastboot commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fasboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
But there's still something that requires further investigation. The v. 4.1. OTA showed up, has been downloaded but did not install. I'm now stuck on v4.04. Do anyone know what's wrong? Any hints?
Thanks in advance, again.
EDIT: this method works, but make sure to add one more line up there:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

use this toolkit http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/nexus-root-toolkit/. it should be easier. it can return your phone to original state. and you can install JB more easier. no command line.

Precisely.
In order for the OTA to auto-install, it needs stock recovery.

You can't go wrong with fastboot.
The same thing happened to me just yesterday nd i was stuck on google logo... do one thing, change ur laptop nd install the drivers to another system. Connect ur fone in bootloader mode nd install the drivers... then flash the system file, boot file, recovery file nd radio basband files... i had to do this twice to start my fone... nd use wugfresh galaxy nexus toolkit

Problem solved! Jelly Beam v 4.1.1. running smoothly at the moment. Fastboot commands are much more reliable then toolkits, as long as you don't forget flashing the recovery.img, like I did.
Thanks for the help, guys!

[Q] Phone wont boot and looking for last resort fix

Right here goes!
I've scoured the threads and I think I've tried everything so far to solve my problem, but still to no avail!
I woke up one morning and my phone was in hboot, wasn't plugged in, and was unresponsive. I tried charging but it wouldn't take it. I'm running stock JB 4.1 via OTA from Vodafone (UK). I had a new battery, and managed to replace the old one. I checked the old one and it had 2.8v output with the new one being 3.8V. I then ran that .bat file to loop the phone in a sort of charge mode to make sure I had sufficient charge. Phone still wouldn't boot. I then tried to do various things listed on this forum, but still have same symptoms. I just need the damn thing to work!
My current version is 3.14.161.27, an I managed to find this RUU. Download consisted of boot.img, rcdata.img and recovery.img
I'm in CMD....with the phone in unlocked mode connected via fastboot usb. Clear chache, run the boot.img and then I run hboot_1.36.0000_.img but error comes up saying cannot load 'hboot_1.36.0000_.img' : unknown error
If i re-lock the phone and do the same thing I get access not allowed in cmd.
what am I doing wrong here? any ideas? I can't find a .exe file for my original ROM either.
recovery doesn't work...just hangs on the HTC screen. factory reset doesn't work wither, same thing happens
I would be happy to try a custom ROM or anything that might get the phone booting again.
Please point me in a 'direction' or offer some help, I will be very grateful!

Fastboot erase cache
with the phone in the bootloader ?

Did you use that to upgrade the hboot ! After upgrading the hboot you can reflash a custom recovery

Enter recovery and perform a full wipe, then mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and copy the rom.zip over .... flash the boot.img in fastboot

my hboot was already version 1.36 so didn't need to. Flashed recovery, and erased cache. CMD...saying successful. Then I unplug usb and go into recovery...but still it just hangs on the HTC screen.

Flashed the recovery 5.8.4.0 and it seemed to take it fine...see PGN. However when I click recovery on my phone, it goes to the HTC screen again, and just hangs. It seems its just fed up of being a phone, wants to change its career path and become a paperweight

[Q] Cannot get out of boot animation nor flash by odin or fastboot - Help please

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have a GNex on my hands.
While I received it to fix; I could not get it past a bootloop from the nexus 4.0.4 Boot.
Problem is I cannot seem to get past the boot animation screen nor upgrade it.
Tried flashing another bootloader via fastboot, and the bootloader does not change, stays in same version.
HW Version : 9
Bootloader version : PRIMEKK15
Baseband version : I9250XXKK6
I proceed doing a fastboot erase bootloader and trying another bootloader, rebooting into another bootloader but no luck
Tried also ODIN flash but no luck; stays into the same
Booting into recovery mode goes into stock recovery and tries to flash a file from /cache
By trying to flash CWM via fastboot flash recovery <cwm image> flashes image but no luck on booting into CWM.
Anbody can lend a hand please?
Thanks!

You can flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Then you can acces the custom recovery and adb push your ROM and gapps. Then you do the wipes and flash the ROM and gapps. If you dont understand anything you just have to tell me

1 - everytime I reboot the phone, the "fastboot oem unlock" seems to be gone and phone re-locks again (weird!)
2 - every change I make to the filesystem, seems to be non-persistent I/E: push something via adb push and on reboot it's gone! :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Surely:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot erase recovery (exits with ok)
3 - fastboot flash recovery twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
4 - reboot w/power+vlup+voldown and select reboot recovery
5 - stock recovery appears
an alternate method that i've tried:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot boot twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
3 - TWRP boots and flashes a zipfile from /cache/ then reboots automatically
That's what happens. A mistery, huh?
Also I've tried OMAP Flash, and; the same issue happens over and over again
Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?

AFAIK, Yes
What happens once I start the stock recovery; as I've already stated; starts flashing a zip file located into /cache/ (5a81769b6d01.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-ICL53F.5a81769b.zip); then bleh, starts the bootloop again.
I've tried the power+volup then selected wipe cache and wipe system and it's the same.
Did you try flash google's stock images (all of them) ?
Also try flashing TWRP in the boot (kennel) partition by :-
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path to twrp>.img
This will force the phone into Recovery (But you will have recovery bootloop , can be solved by flashing a kernel) .
when you boot into recovery install a Kernel and ROM . also you will lose the recovery after that .
You can flash the TWRP from the TWRP itself (to put it in the right partition) by (in the build in terminal) :-
Code:
dd if=/<path to twrp in SD>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Good Luck .

<ID:0/011> Complete(Write) operation failed.
cannot write system.img :/
Any ideas?
Unlock your bootloader with omapflash. Although even if it does unlock, Your emmc/board probably has died.

can you please me guide how to do the omapflash?
I've downloaded a file called OMAPFlash_tuna.zip.
- Set battery of the device aside
- Plug device into USB, let it detect the device and flash the SBF I think.
That'd be all?

Pardon me, if EMMC/Board is dead; why does it boot or get into bootloop? There is something that reflashes itself; it even overrides odin or heimdall...
Have you tried going back to completely stock using the method outlined here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
