Odin Mode?

Hi I have a purely stock intl Galaxy Nexus, I believe it is the Yakajxw version. This morning I went to my messages app and it loaded up the Flickr App instead. When I hit back it constanly went to some other app. So I powered down my phone and powered it back up and now its in Oden Mode showing a "Downloading.. Do not turn of target!!"
Is this a simple update and Im fine or is it somehow 'bricked'? Any way of fixing this? I have no knowledge of android phones and its a very important weekend for me, cant go without the phone!!
Thanks!

Mine did this once also. Use your volume controls until it says start. Then press the power button. Booted up just fine for me.
I'm also completely stock, unrooted, locked boot loader. I haven't had the desire to mod yet. I was on WP7 for 18 months and just recently came back to Android. I'm enjoying the stock experience so far. Modifications will come soon enough.

ODIN is a method of flashing factory images.
It really isn't downloading anything (not exactly sure why it would say that...dumb.)
You PROBABLY held volume- while booting.
This will put you in odin.
You can just boot up...you haven't changed/hurt anything.

If it's taking you directly to that screen, your bootloader got corrupt somehow. Follow the instructions in this thread to re-set-up your device.

I believe that it is called download mode because that is what it is doing: odin downloads the partition images to the device.

Soft-Bricked Telus Galaxy S2X

Hello, new here.
My Galaxy S2X is soft-bricked because i decided to flash a stock telus rom onto it with Odin[Previously i had Mr.X's Rooted rom] All it does now is boot up, goes through a boot loop (S Logo). I cannot go into Recovery mode but i can go into download mode. I tried flashing different roms but with no luck.
Any help please

sounds to me like you should go to the right forums. i think your phone is the same as the TMobile 989 and the AT&T/Rogers 727
definitely isnt the i777 which is the forum you are currently in

Agreed.. it looks like the 989, so i am going to move it there (MOD: if this still isn't the right forum, my apologies!)

If you can get into download mode you are good. You have to flash a stock Telus ROM in Odin. I am not sure what caused your soft brick the first time around, but make sure you follow the directions exactly and do not check "repartition" in Odin.

Have you tried other Stock Telus builds?

Umm... did u try flashin cwm again through odin, using adb on pc to reboot to recovery, wiping user data and flashing LE4. Radio then reboot?
Also, just a reminder, don't expect it to boot right up, stock has a good amount of bloat (telus is nowhere near as bad as tmo, but its still there)
It will take longer then normal too boot, give it at least 10min before callin it quits

Thanks, flashing Recovery again and then wiping the user data worked.
Thanks man :laugh:

Hey guys, I was playing around on my phone, and I downloaded something off of 4shared (just a game) and it crashed and made my phone freeze. I then held my power button and waited for it to boot but now im stuck in a bootloop with the stock telus rom... is there anything I can do that wont wipe everything on my phone? Oh and I can get into both CWM recovery and download mode.
EDIT: I gave it some more time to startup and it pretty much factory reseted my phone. I get that thing to setup my phone after startup. Everytime I turn my phone off it goes back to this screen and my phone restarts. If I surf through the files of my phone, it shows I still have everything but It doesnt show any of my apps or anything.

Posting this question in a very old thread probably isn't your best move. Maybe start a new thread?? This thread didn't have a post since July and its not even the same issue as you.
Just my advice!

Stuck on Google splash screen..getting desperate.

First off I have a Verizon gnex. My phone was all fine and dandy running CM9 on ICS, then I installed CM10 and it was working great until I would get weird bootloops at the Google screen. Eventually it would boot, I guess it's some sort of file check or something? But it was really making me mad.
I tried wiping everything and installing CM9 again but it was still stuck and when it eventually booted, nothing was changed! I still had CM10 and all my apps/data were there. Weird I thought, so I just kept using my phone trying to find a fix and trying to not let it die.
I did a factory reset and it seemed to make the process of getting passed the Google screen faster up until last night...it died and did not want to get past the Google screen. So I ran Odin with all the factory images and what not and thought it was going to work..but nope same problem.
Also my recovery will not work and I tried to flash it again but if I hold up and down volume and power and choose recovery it will just restart and be back at the google screen.
PLEASE HELP! I just shelled out 280 bucks for this used because I didn't want to lose my unlimited data and now I can't even use my phone!

I've waited up to 15 min sometimes on JB. Just be patient. Flash the Verizon JB boot loader if you haven't already. It's here on XDA somewhere

I've waited way more than 15 minutes..it will just keep going and going until it freezes or dies.
edit: also I'm not even on JB, stock ICS.

Is anyone else having the same problem? Anyone have suggestions on what I should do?

Flash the stock images using fastboot instead of ODIN.
See if that will work.

Well i just went back and tried that again and it finally let me boot but it soon went back into bootloop madness. I did it again and it booted up gain but of course went back into the loop. Now injust tried it again and that wont even work now..

Followed that thread, but didnt really see exactly how you went about fixing it. What method is in the exe you created?

Do you have a VZW Nexus (toro)? I can post my EXE if so.

Reset guide in my sig now

Formatted system

Yes i messed it up. I was having some problems with my mic. When i was on calls no one could hear unless i turned my speakers on, i didn't know what to do, so i did a factory reset. Ok, so i checked and the problem was still there. SO i entered clockworkmod VIA app, booted in cwm mod, and i formatted my system ( Y i know that was stupid, but i didn't mean to) No i am stuck on the google start screen. What can i do? i Tried to boot in recovery mode but i can't. I really need help.

Boot into the bootloader, flash CWM with fastboot, push a ROM to your /sdcard/ with ADB and flash it with CWM.
OR
return to stock using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

You should be able to boot into the bootloader (vol up + vol down + power) or download mode (vol down + power). Can you try?

Thank you

Yes man i tried i couldn't do that. I kinda fixed. I downloaded odin and installed a stock img. It's back to what it was.
But the problem is i did it first, cause i am having problems with my mic, it doesn't work in calls, it only works when i turn on the speakers, i tired it to use the mic in another apps like google now, and it doesn't work. Can someone help me?
And BTW ty for the help.

I'm not 100% certain, but usually when you experience a problem like that across multiple ROMs, it's probably hardware related. I've been seeing a few complaints about mic issues in several threads, so you may not have an isolated problem. Try a Google search. If that doesn't turn anything up it may be worthwhile to call Samsung and see if they have any information. If you're still under warranty, Samsung's RMA process seems to be pretty good. Hope you can get things sorted out, and good luck!

My guess is you formatted system, panicked and tried to use odin, then you end up on the 3 dot screen.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

I really don't think it's hardware, Cause the mic works perfectly when i turn on my speakers on a call.
I Googled it already. Found someone with the same problem, he went back to stock, on hi jb and it didn't work, then he went back to stock on 4.0.4 and it worked. I think it's a software problem.
I already reinstalled JB many times.

Try going back to stock 4.0.4 using fastboot and the official images. Then OTA to JB. See if that works.

I Know this is gonna look stupid ( it actually is stupid). I fixed the problem, the mic hole next to the mini usb, was dirty. :silly:
Thank you guys for your time. I think the problem was that when you turn speakers on, the mic gets more sensitive, that's why that was the only way i could use it. Well I hope this thread helps someone, cause i looked over the net, and i found some people with the same problem.
Ty for your time.

[Q] Need some help

Hey guys,
I was running a stock version of android 4.2, rooted etc. Last night there was a message in my notification toggle which said i had to update.
So i clicked the message, installed the update but i think the update was corrupt or something. The update was 840kb or so.
I dont really remember what i clicked because it was late in the evening etc. Now my nexus will just show the splash screen and nothing more.
PC doesnt recognise it when i connect it.
Does anyone have an idea of how i could fix this? Would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: i cant get into clockworkmod recovery too but i can get into odin mode

you shouldn't update if you're not running stock (stock recovery, stock kernel, etc), i guess that what messed your system up.
is fastboot working for you? if so, you could flash the stock image from there. i think that's the only way since recovery doesn't working for you.
good luck.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes i can go into fastboot mode, the lock state still says unlocked.
The only thing is, i can only see the big green arrow with start in it. If i press my up and down volume buttons nothing happens.
Edit: i tried rooting and installing cwm recovery using nexus root toolkit, but it says my drivers are not installed. Any idea's of how i could do that now?
EDIT2: i am able to get into cwm recovery now. But i am not able to restore anything while i did make a backup

Stop using toolkits...
And use the guide stickied here or in my sig.

you should flash the stock image first and you can go wherever you want from there.
i don't use the toolkit, i prefer manual much more convenient for me.
anyway, this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058 should help you flashing the stock image.

man o man, took me 4 hours but i did it.
Thanks both for the replies!
