[Q] Nexus Help? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was going ahead and about to flash my ROM (after doing so successfully at an earlier time), but after formatting everything, there was no sd card to format. I rebooted but now I'm stuck at bootscreen showing Google and the lock at the bottom. Can't get out of this. Anyone care to help?
Thanks.

I was able to get it into Fastboot mode but it isn't recognized by my computer....

His phone isn't coming up in Device Manager. Wouldn't that not allow the drivers to install properly?

Try installing PDAnet - it's the most reliable way to get the right drivers.

What exactly did you format? And from where? Do you have a custom recovery installed? Can't you get into that?

Yea in debug did the uninstall reinstall of drivers
Did you restart the pc after installing the drivers?
Which drivers did you install and what OS is your pc running?
If you open the device manager on your pc and connect the phone in fastboot mode what exactly does it say in the Android tab (name of driver installed)?

[Q] Bricked GNex?

I was doing a lot websurfing and the phone got hot but didn't think much of it. Then my screen imagine became distorted and a loud noise came out of the speaker. I had never seen it before. I figured the phone crashed. The power button didn't work, so I removed the battery and put it back in. Now the phone can't get past the "Google" screen (which blurs after a few moments). My phone is unlocked and rooted. It's been so long since I've flashed my phone that I don't know if the usb debugging is turned on and here's where my problem lays. I can't get the phone to be recognized by any of my computers. I've tried a bunch of tools, installing different drivers, and Odin. All of them can't see my phone. I can boot into Fastboot and Odin. I can sometimes boot into CWM, and if I do, all I see is "ClockworkMod recovery v5.8.0.2" and no other options. After 15 seconds, the phone will exit CWM and reboot.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Can you boot into recovery and maybe full wipe and re flash? Have you tried a backup? Have you tried mounting in recovery? Should be SD or USB mount try that maybe. I'm not a Dev. But I would try all those first. Post back if possible.

Since you can boot into fastboot, then follow this if you want to return to stock immediately and start fresh, or keep this method for later if you want to try some other solutions first. It is your choice

I can boot into fastboot, but it does me no good if I can't get my computer and phone to communicate. This is where my problem lies. I've tried different USB drivers and none of them work.

I think it is bettER to uninstall the drivers you have already, and try another USB port. Did you try that as well?
Download the galaxy Nexus toolkit and that will apply the stock image vai google. You can restore your phone from scratch back to stock.

Okay, I figured out why my computer couldn't see the phone. The USB cable was bad. It charged the phone, so I assumed it worked. Tried another cable and now the computer sees the device. Stupid cable!
So, I got going using fastboot but now I have another problem. I can connect to the phone and my computer sees it, but when I try a flash command like "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img", I get "Failed (status read failed (Too many links))". I've been doing some reading and see this is not a good thing.
I haven't tried Odin, because I read in another post by efrant, not to use Odin if I'm getting the "Failed (status..."
I probably have a hardware issue, right? Any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone for their input!!!
I tried using fastboot to boot into the latest recovery .img file. Again, all I got was the title "ClockworkMod Recovery Mod 6.0.1.9"

Try using fastboot to flash TWRP recovery image not CWM.
Download it from here if you have GSM GNex (Maguro), otherwise, just choose your device from the same website
And what about returning to stock using fastboot? You changed the USB cable so seems this should work with you now.

I just tried TWRP recovery and got "Failed (status read failed (Too many links))".
I also tried using fastboot to return to Android stock rom. That didn't work either.
I think I'm screwed. Man, I didn't even overclock the cpu. :crying:

Well, I searched for that error and found this thread. I checked it quickly and there are many suggestions up there to solve the issue like changing the cable, ports, and so on. So please take some time to read through it and try the various solutions so hopefully this error will be solved
I too have had issues with cables. Never that same error but I've had read and write errors. I've resorted to using a 3yr old Motorola Droid power cable because it seems to be built the best. I've also had success using different ports and computers.
Also instead of updating the drivers to the newest try deleting the device out if device manager and rebooting and then installing the device new. That has fixed a "hardware component ID" error I had

PC Doesn't Recognize USB in Recovery

I'm on Task AOKP with the latest TWRP installed. Whenever I boot into recovery my PC doesn't recognize my phone. I get the USB error sound and the device manager shows SAMSUNG_android_SGH-I747 with a yellow exclamation point and it says the driver isn't installed. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers. The phone connects fine and all the drivers are installed properly when the phone is booted.
And you have usb debugging on?

It's on when it's booted. Is there a way to enable/disable while in recovery?

As far as i know it isn't supposed to. You can charge in twrp or you can connect in download mode to flash through Odin but not accesses usb storage.

I used to (on my Captivate) be able to access the internal SD in recovery. I used it to transfer files/completely wipe SD then transfer and install a new ROM.
I've also tried a different USB Cable and tried CWM. The USB is plugged into the back of the computer.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever tried connecting my phone to my pc in recovery so I don't know what to tell you. Mine has only been connected when booted up or in download mode
Out of curiosity i had to try.
Right cable, USB debugging on, correct drivers blah blah... Boot into recovery and nothing.
This isn't the captivate. Unfortunately what does work on one phone doesn't always work on another.

Waiting for device no matter what

I have installed and reinstalled the usb drivers like 4 times with reboots in between. I was about to root, but after root i cant do anything. The main thing i want to do is flash a custom rom. I have the gnex tool kit, it says waiting for device (option 6), and the most recent drivers are from that toolkit. I tried command pront, Fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says waiting for device. I tried adb flash recovery recovery.img it says waiting for device. I tried 2 different cables and all my usb ports on my computer.
Im at a loss. I can still transfer files from my computer to my device. My computer detects it just none of these commands... god i wish i had an sd card slot... lol
Edit:
I also tried putting it inot fastboot mode by pressing the power and wolume up / down keys. It goes to the screen and says start. All commands still say waiting for device.
I feel like this is a driver issue but idk why.... i have tried all drivers...........
i have a samsung galaxy nexus l515 verizon cdma.
Thanks!

Unplug your phone from computer install the drivers from Samsung's website. (Google USB drivers for galaxy nexus i515) reboot computer and try again. Maybe u should install android SDK with adb and do it manually instead of using a toolkit. Those cause problems.

Ohhh the universal naked drivers. I never even thought of that. Actually i did. I have installed them same issue. I have fallowed the instructions in your first link prior to starting this thread. I appreciate the help but your attempt to call me lazy is wrong. Still unable to flash cwm or anything from the computer however i was able to flash cwrm touch today after buying the rom manager premium. Still doesnt explain why i cannot do it from my computer. Mind you i attempted this on my laptop (slackerware) and i did still have issues.
I think it is somthing with the port on my phone ror maybe somthing else. Regardless, im not lazy for i do know where google is and how to abuse all of her abilities. I know where the forum search button is also.
Drivers i have tried.
Naked nexus drivers
Windows native drivers
Slackerware mobile drivers
Samsung drivers
And what ever the gnex tool kit installs. No matter what i get waiting for device...

Are you confusing adb with fastboot, or was "adb flash recovery recovery.img" a typo? Anyway, forget the toolkit. Get adb/fastboot binaries from the 101 & FAQ, and try:
1) booted into Android: adb devices
This should list your device with a number. If the list is empty, adb cannot interface with your gnex.
2) booted into the bootloader: fastboot devices
This should also list your device with a number. If the list is empty, fastboot cannot interface with your gnex.
Note that the adb and the fastboot interface are different. If you installed drivers and got adb running, this does not automatically make fastboot working. Boot into fastboot, connect and use device manager to scout for unknown devices. Update using naked driver if necessary.

you are lazy. you're relying on a toolkit.
please root your phone the manual way, or at least try fastboot alone so we actually know what the problem is.
Thanks yeah that was a typo. I have the adroid bianarys. Adb and fastboot. I was typing. Fastboot reboot bootloader to try and get gnex tools to see the device. No luck.

I did root without the tool kit...? I was trying all possabilities to flash cwrm touch before i created a thread. I realize there was a typo in the op. I AM rooted but i had no recovery. Sorry for the confusion.
I rooted manually no problems. Problems arose post root. This can be marked as solved for buying the app fixed my issue. With recovery i can flash roms on the device. No need for a computer anymore. Thanks to those who didnt attack me and make me cry. To those who did well... thanks anyways....

If you know how to root manually, then surely you must know how to boot or flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm with fastboot.

Again, driver issue. 'fastboot devices' should return your devices serial number. that command is the tell-tell sign that communication between fastboot host (PC/Mac) and client (device) see and recognise each other.
And please try to be flawless on the transcription of the exact commands used, to exclude the possibility of typos.

Then it maybe not be a driver problem: you need to update platform-tools through android-sdk, which has fastboot/adb binaries. 4.2.2 requires it.

1. Open device manager on your PC.
2. Right click on Android 1.0 with the yellow ! mark on it.
3. Choose update driver.
4. Choose browse my computer.
5. Choose Let me pick from a list.
6. Scroll down and find the Samsung driver with newest date. Should be the driver you downloaded above. (Possibly dated 11/25/2011 ).

Ouya Bricked. Need HELP!!

So I managed to Brick my Ouya pretty bad I think.
I installed a version of Xposed Framework onto my Ouya and then rebooted it. After rebooting my Ouya it became stuck and would not boot. It is stuck on the screen with the little Ouya symbol.
I have tried the ALT + Prt sc + I and deleted all user files and cache partition.
The big problem I am having is I cannot connect my Ouya onto my computer in order to Flash the Original framework via ADB.
The Ouya drivers will not install on my computer.
So at this point I am not sure what to do. If anyone has any ideas that can help please let me know.
I'm not a developer, but can follow directions
Thanks.

Download the zip file and install the driver it has in it.
If you're running windows 8 or 8.1 you have to disable driver signature enforcement or something like that.
Once you get the driver installed boot back into recovery and sideload the latest firmware from here
