[Q] Nexus Help?

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?

Having a problem with rooting this phone.

Ok. I have installed the Wugfresh toolkit. And I have installed the drivers correct I think. So I click on unlock in the tool kit. It tells me to plug my phone in. So I do it. I see my device listed on top of the first screen. Then click YES I see mg device. But when it boot my phone into bootloader and then ask me do i see my device. I don't see it. Everytime it boots into bootloader it doesn't read mg device. So what am I doin wrong. Thanks abunch. I'm really ready to get Thomas phone unclocked and rooted.

You did not setup the drivers correctly. Once the phone boots into the bootloader there is an additional driver that needs to be installed. I forget the exact one but it is included in the toolkit. You probably have some unknown device in your device manager that you need to install the included drivers for in the WugFresh toolkit.
I had the same issue when I first started.

Download PDAnet and install it. This will solve the driver issue. Your issue is that your computer is not recognizing the phone as an ADB interface.

I was having the same problem and corrected it by plugging my phone into the USB port on the back of my PC rather than the one on the front. You can also contact WugFresh for assistance if you still can't figure it out. I had to follow the instructions on manually installing the drivers to my PC.

You gotta install adb driver for Nexus. For my computer, when I enabled usb debugging, it downloaded the driver for me (odd enough) but if your computer doesn't do that, you can Google around to get the exe file for you to install. Just make sure the Nexus has usb debugging on, or it doesn't let you install the driver (from my experience)

It doesn't matter what you're currently on. You will completely nuke your phone when you fastboot the images onto your device anyway.

ok my computer currently recognizes my phone now and i know how to re lock my bootloader what rom should i put it on so they dont know i was rooted before relocking the bootloader. I thought locking it would set it back to default but i was wrong i just had cm9 with a locked bootloader lol i think they would know from that but seriously. What rom should i put to just make my phone 100000% stock

You can do everything using gnex toolkit v7.0.

So you got everything stock except the ROM? So you got stock recovery and everything? If you do, first of all, download the stock rom from google site (there should be few versions, that, you gotta find it out) then you need to download clockwork mod recovery (assuming that you got fastboot and adb) now just boot into cwm on your phone and flash the stock rom. By doing this, you're not over writing the recovery but you can still use the cwm
Also you gotta unlock first lol

ADB with Jellybean

Hi, has anyone managed to get ADB working with Jelly Bean? I'm running CM10 and I can't seem to get ADB working. I've downloaded the drivers from the SDK but windows still says it can't find the driver, even when I manually specify where the driver is.

Try 1wayjonny's Universal Naked Drivers over in his thread in the dev section. It's the best. Be sure to remove all traces of the old drivers first.

Do you have a adb debugging enabled on the phone? CM10 has this disabled by default.

And I'll add adb works when you are on booted and when you are on recovery.
Adb does not work on bootloader, fastboot works on bootloader.

Alright, will do. Not at home now. I've never had any ADB drivers installed as this is a clean windows 7 install.

Even today, a friend of mine installed the naked drivers, started adb, device found
I watched him as he did it, guiding him through the commands to push, reboot recovery, the works, and Windows 7 pulled it quite well.
I don't use windows at home, but he did it without troubles at all.
So yeah. ADB has been around for ages, and it will be coming back.
And it's the second proof I see: most of these so called issues with drivers, should be handled on <insert host OS here> forums and not on xda. Most of times, users just don't get it.

Well after some research last night, and some wasted hours, i now know that ADB does not work in boot Not at all.
So how would I get a log from boot? How does everyone else do it?

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.

Its a driver problem, for sure. OP, stop being lazy please, learn from this here, and after that, like Zepius says, put your big boys pants on and do it like this

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 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.
