i went to relock unroot the GN and for some reason i can only boot into fastboot mode and cwm recovery. cwm recovery says there is no files so cant do a restore. i assumed i installed the sdk files correctly bc the cmd says list of devices attached when i type adb devices. also in device manger it says adb working prperly. but when i type adb reboot bootloader in the sdk platform tools it says device not found. if this is possible to fix any ideas how? and sorry to bother you just dont know what to do
If it's saying "device not found" it sounds like a driver issue. This is a real PITA with this phone! I wish I had better advice other then to search for and keep trying different drivers. I had the same issue and kept trying different drivers, at one point I was sure I tried every driver out there and I still couldn't get it. Then I went through again installing the same exact drivers that I did before and all of the sudden one decided to work.

do you think its bc of i cant enable usb debbuging
If you can boot into fastboot mode and CWM you will be fine.
In CWM you could try mounting USB storage, copying over a ROM of your choosing and flash away. Not sure if this feature still works in CWM with MTP. If that doesn't work you can use fastboot to flash an official image.
If you successfully re-locked the phone then you wouldn't still have CWM.
i tried mounting storage and nothing says no files. just dont understand how it earsed every single thing expect cwm recovery. i look at the phone and it sasy fastboot command error
with fast boot still working ur fine. Find and use toolkit 2.0. If it lists ur serial number tour drivers are OK. If you start with reboot bootloader cmd it will give that error. Go straight to flashing rom. Also you cant use USB mount in CWR anymore :/

Sorry, you are correct but it does not work with the Galaxy Nexus because our phones don't support mounting USB storage.. I was thinking it might as well not be there for us

I was trying to install a new rom but I wanted to reformat my sdcard first. I planned on reformatting, mounting the sdcard so my pc would pick it up, moving the rom I chose to the freshly formatted sdcard, then flashing the rom. I started by doing a full wipe of everything, then wiped the internal sdcard. The problem is when I try to mount the sdcard to transfer files nothing happens. I tried doing a restore using odin but it gets stuck at setup connection. Is there anything else I can do or is it completely bricked?

I'm not the guy who can tell you what you need to do, but I will tell you that I have read other posts by people in your position. There are ways to push the necessary files to your phone, either toolkits or command prompt type setups, sorry but that's all I have. Google is your friend though. Galaxy Nexus toolkit, start with that, it's around here somewhere

You cannot mount the sd on the gnex through recovery. There is no SD to mount.
To move a file to your phone you must push it with adb

Have you installed adb drivers? You probably should have done this already, unless you used a toolkit to unlock and root...
To install drivers, download the naked driver located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1
Then, follow this guide to install them correctly.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29044502&postcount=735
If they are set up correctly you will be able to push the rom to your internal storage booted in recovery with adb. A list of adb commands is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
If you aren't comfortable with that I recommend that you flash the stock images to your phone with fastboot following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
This should be all the info you need. I'll be around to answer questions you may have. Just post them here.
Good Luck.

I cant follow the guide you linked to install the drivers, because it instructs me to enable usb debugging...I have no rom installed on my phone so I cant enable it.
OK. I'm not sure if you can install the driver without debugging activated. But, I know you can install the fastboot driver when booted in the bootloader because I have done it.
1) Boot into the bootloader. (power + vol. up and down)
2) Connect to your pc
3) Open your device manager and you should see "android 1.0"
4) Right click on that and choose update driver.
5) Choose install from my computer and then install the naked driver.
6) Click done and then it should show Galaxy Nexus Bootloader Interface.
You will now be ready to flash the stock google image. Follow this guide.
You'll be up and running again. You can then flash a custom recovery and ROM if you so choose. OR just roll with stock.

Because you're not supposed to open up adb by double clicking on it.
You're supposed to navigate to the location where it is using CMD and do commands from there.

Hi everyone, i have medium to advanced experience with flashing tools, android drivers, adb, fastboot, recovery mode and so on.
This evening once i installed the OTA Update for my Galaxy Nexus (which was running Android 4.2) the process failed at the end (as usual -.-) and i got stuck at bootloader.
I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, nothing on SDCARD (Internal storage in this case).
The problem is that, i have no drivers installed on my PC for this phone.
I've already downloaded the latest version of Android 4.2 to flash (.zip), but there's no way i can transfer the file to the phone without the drivers.
I already tried GNex toolkit but it's stuck on "waiting adb device" (i have no fastboot drivers installed and can't install them because i can't find a easy way to do so).
NexusRootToolkit fails on pushing the zip to the phone and flash also won't work.
Any idea of what can i do now?
I may even pay on paypal for a quick help to get my phone back on working
Get into the bootloader and use fastboot, or if you have a custom recovery installed (sounds like you don't) then you can adb push from there. ADB doesn't exist in the bootloader, only fastboot. Those are your options.

Actually i do have a custom recovery which is CMW, but i can't seem to get my internal storage mounted using i'ts options.
I will try to push the .zip using the ADB on the recovery mode.
After checking the logs i can now see :
Enable to mount /usb-otg
(Using NexusRootToolkit i just flashed TWRP as recovery mode)
Solved : adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>
After the push was completed, i flashed the new .zip using TWRP in recovery mode.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Same thing has happened to me and I'm freaking out.

You are mistaken, root doesn't stop a system update. I can vouch for that myself, even though i know that it doesnt matter just from reading some people's posts around here.
You weren't exactly explicit on your first post, so I presume you didnt/dont have the correct baseband version for that specific OTA to apply. Very common.
Oh and if you've never been able to OTA update successfully, it's not "usual" for the rest of us. You should work towards becoming more verbose and objective when troubleshooting. That will make you more experienced.

Try installing the ADB Drivers manually in order for your PC to recognize it.
Have you tried putting it other modes such as Download Mode and check if your pc installs any driver?
You will have to ADB PUSH the OS image to your internal memory and use CW to flash the rom from the sdcard, but you will need the drivers installed or adb wont be able to see your phone
i have the same problem you had...

Use "adb sideload c:\users\edgar\downloads\abc.zip". "adb push" is for transferring files from PC to phone, not flashing.

adb sideload does both transferring and flashing within a single command. The "sideloaded" ZIP gets saved as "sideload.zip" under the root of the storage.

Attached is clockworkmod touch recovery for gsm galaxy nexus, maguro. Phone in bootloader mode, open a terminal, cd to directory of fastboot and where you move this file to, type fastboot devices to verify device is connected, then "fastboot boot CWMT6023.img", without the quotes of course. This will temporarily allow you to use clockworkmod recovery, and thus adb, without having it on your device once you have selected "reboot now".
And if that didn't help, try consulting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895, since i'm thinking you haven't used fastboot in a terminal, but only know it's 'mode', and may need help with drivers.
You also might want to consider just straight out flashing cwm recovery, since YOU NEED TO MAKE BACKUPS!

sorry, i got cwm. but what does fastboot have to do with cwm? i can't use cwm to restore because files can't be sent from computer to it.
as of fastboot in terminal, it seems the phone not connected to computer. is there anything has to do with my drivers? "fastboot device" command shows <waiting for device>
I gave you that link to set up drivers more than anything else. If you already have cwm, boot to it and now you can adb push a rom.zip to your sdcard and install it, wipe caches and perhaps a factory reset [if you're changing to a different rom], OR, you can first try and wipe cache and advanced, dalvik cache to see if that fixes the bootloop.

ADB should work in your custom recovery regardless of USB debugging being enabled or disabled.
I can't tell you how many times I have rebooted into recovery, wiped, then realized I forgot to put a file on my sdcard that I wanted to flash. I then use adb to push the file(s) from within the recovery.
Edit: I really need to refresh prior to responding.
so i can't get adb working because of the driver? thats why i got "waiting for device" when pushing file to phone?
edit: i've installed all the required drivers, it's not my 1st time doing it. MAYBE, this computer never connected to my gnex before, as i've formatted it a few days ago. So the gnex driver was not properly installed.. Is it possible?
If that version of cm 10 is for 4.2.2., then i think you may have an issue accessing adb without first getting the rsa verification, even in recovery (but im not sure). Looks like your only other option would be to fastboot flash stock images. And of course it sounds like driver issues, especially if your fastboot is not even working. Again, that link I posted will get you back up and running. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

You don't need USB debugging enabled for adb to recognize your device in recovery. USB debugging is needed for adb to work while Android is booted, but not in recovery. The drivers on the other hand, you will need to figure out why those aren't working. Once those work, your custom recovery will allow adb to function. You then can adb push the file(s) to your sdcard.

You don't need USB Debugging to be on to get adb to work in your recovery. As I said previously, USB debugging only matters when you boot into the OS. You don't have an OS to boot into, and even if you did it wouldn't matter in the recovery. I have USB debugging off right now, and use adb in recovery quite often. The state of USB debugging, either on or off, isn't your issue.
ADB doesn't recognize your device because you are having driver issues. Maybe they aren't installed, aren't installed properly, or something else. Figure out what is going on with those, and adb will recognize your device in recovery. You then can use it to push the file(s) you want to flash, or use sideload.

You don't have an OS to boot into, and even if you did it wouldn't matter in the recovery. I have USB debugging off right now, and use adb in recovery quite often. The state of USB debugging, either on or off, isn't your issue.
ADB doesn't recognize your device because you are having driver issues. Maybe they aren't installed, aren't installed properly, or something else. Figure out what is going on with those, and adb will recognize your device in recovery. You then can use it to push the file(s) you want to flash, or use sideload.

That would definitely be needed, if he was trying to flash Google factory images. He's trying to push a flashable ROM zip to /sdcard/, and those, as you know, are not packaged for fastboot.

Hello. I currently have 2 S4 minis (I19195). One works perfectly and is mine. I also have only one SD card. I was in the process of installing CM on the new one and I wiped the SD card by accident (it contained the CM installation and gapps package).
The SD card refuses to work with either device now and I don't have a card reader.
The device currently has no OS on it. It's got CWM working, though. I need to get it running ASAP.
Is there a way to a) fix the card or b)get the CM files on it somehow or c)install CM solely through odin?
EDIT: I should also mention it refuses to mount USB storage through CWM.
In CWM you should be able to use adb. Try using adb push to upload files from your computer to the internal sd

Thanks a lot for your reply, however I can't seem to find the option for adb in CWM.

You can either adb push a rom.zip to your internal sdcard. Or side load the zip

The problem is I have no way to access the internal sd card (other than odin, unless that's what you meant).
Also I tried flashing stock back onto it, which failed, and now I get a screen saying "Firmware upgrade enctountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also seem not to be able to enter into recovery anymore, just download mode.

Boot into recovery and then from a cmd prompt on your pc type adb devices. It should show your device. If it does then, adb push rom.zip /sdcard. Where rom.zip is a rom you have on your pc and can push it to your device

Unfortunately I can't boot into recovery anymore. Just download mode and the stupid broken screen.

I don't know your device well. Can you download the firmware from sammobile and flash that in Odin?

Yep that's exactly what I did.
Anyway, I was just about to post everything I ever did to the phone to clarify. However I figured I should flash CWM once again and maybe get that to work.
After doing that and rebooting the phone EVERYTHING works, it booted straight into the OS and I just finished installing CM which works now. I'm not even going to pretend I understand what happened (and I have a degree in computer science...). Anyway, I'm very happy it works, and thank you both so much for helping me out!
