Has anyone seen this? I can't flash anything at all via the toolkit or ADB or fastboot.
On my nexus's screen it keeps saying this at the bottom in blue:
Fastboot Status - FAILWrite Fail
Here's the background. My bootloader is unlocked. I have root or had (when i "upgraded" to 4.0.2 superuser is there but I can't seem to give anything root access anymore).
I decided to start fresh and just wipe the phone and use the factory images to install 4.0.4 onto the phone. But it seems no matter which drives I try, ADB just won't recognize my phone in bootloader mode.
You're doing it wrong.

Sorry, didn't read your OP right... My mistake.
Do you have a proper backup? If so: Maybe a lock and unlock bootloader might work. It's just a long shot but the message triggers me in that direction. Off course you will loose all your data, inclusing on /sdcard.

Worth a try. I don't mind losing everything as I made a backup of the SD card on my computer before attempting.
EDIT: Nope, was able to re-lock and unlock the bootloader but still when trying to flash anything it says: FAILED <remote: Write Fail>

That is exactly what I did. SMH @ myself
adb wont recognize your phone in bootloader? Because ADB is when android is running. You need fastboot when you're in bootloader.
try another usb cable. and yes, either that or you're holding it wrong.
use fastboot: http://andwise.net/?attachment_id=270
and make sure you have the drivers for fastboot
do exactly as it says here http://andwise.net/?p=268
i got the same thing .. i flashed a kernel on my stock rom and then i was trying to flash the factory image and i had write fail thing
Ok. So we have a couple of symptoms, here.
1: You try to flash via fastboot, phone says: "Nuhu! Not with me, bro!"
2: The ADB/fastboot won't recognize the phone.
3: Some guys answering this thread, are just idiots...
Solutions:
1: Try erasing, before flashing. It helps
2: Reinstall the ADB/fastboot drivers (Check my signature, and do that (It works with every distribution of Windows form Vista+) This will reinstall the drivers, and the ADB/fastboot command/deamon will be able to communicate, with the deamon on the phone...
3: Ask a moderator, if he can delete some of those nasty n00b answers...

yup, i'm that noob you guys complain about... totally open to all general flaming attacks....

being a total dumbass, i first did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362957
phone stuck in reboot cycle. this was for gsm and i have lte, yup major oops.
tried gn toolkit 2.2 and now constantly get a write error on anything i try for all options.
didd i brick my phone? anything i can do to just get back to factory? thought i knew what i was doing after my droid and droid x. apparently i should stick with stock. so sorry guys. any help appreciated.
Can you boot into fastboot or recovery? If you can get into either you'll be fine.
i can get into fastboot just fine. just don't know what to do from there. i get write errors from toolkit 2.2
I have no idea about the toolkit, you can just use fastboot to flash clockwork recovery or boot a boot.img or system.img
As long as you can get into bootloader mode ... you can still follow the manual steps in the same post (post # 3) if automated Toolkit doesn't work. give that a shot.

Try Paul's Superboot, it contains all the binaries you'll need to get it rooted. Make sure to unlock bootloader first then just follow his instructions.
No flame here brotha we all know what it feels like. From reading the posts above you can get into boot loader so you'll be ok. Just read thoroughly, maybe drink some coffee, read again and you should be good to go.

it works... but when it fails, it fails hard. and then you dont know where it failed or what it even did.
i personally will not help if you use the toolkit and things go wrong... others will still help.
It's actually very easy on this device. Since you know you are wanting to install a new ROM you don't even need to root. The hardest part is installing the ADB usb drivers and making sure they work correctly. There are basically 3 things you need to do.
1.) Install ADB and the ADB usb drivers
2.) Unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery (ClockworkMod is the most popular)
3.) Flash a new ROM
You can do steps 1-2 by following this guide up to the recovery install step. Then for step 3 download the ROM of your choice into the internal sd and boot into CWM recovery and flash.
Stupid question, can i do all of this if the phone isnt activated? My sim card should be here in the mail tomorrow

Here is what I found in Nexus S forum (Q&A section):
Q: How do I root/unroot the Nexus S?
Check the development section links below for more detail, but you gain root on the Nexus S by booting the phone into fastboot mode and typing "fastboot oem unlock." This will wipe your phone and it's SD card partition. To unroot it, again boot into fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem lock."
Follow the root guide stickied at the top of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
In the event you want to return to stock, simply flash the NAND backup found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093 . This will restore everything, including the stock recovery image. Then as mentioned above go into the bootloader/fastboot mode and enter "fastboot oem lock" in ADB.

why would you use odin? thats an awful hacker tool, leaked, no documentation, press one wrong button and your nexus is dead. google has made fastboot, use that to flash images. you find a tutorial in the galaxy nexus toolkit thread, you might aswell use that, though, it relies on fastboot and adb.
For people that came from samsung devices Odin is a very useful and the most comfortable tool. Fastboot is safer indeed but....sometimes u just don't want to write plenty commands in terminal when in Odin is just a one click.
gnextoolkit is one click aswell, its safe as milk, its clean, well documented and theres not much you can do wrong. dont harass poor nexus with odin. for all we know the guy could have just killed his phone, stuck at 12% doent sound so nice, hope it still came trhough.
Ok guys i repaired. From so diffcult way
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yeah sure, if Odin fails then it's the time to use different means. I only use Odin when I want to perform a clean flash with full wipe. Otherwise (most of the time) I use fastboot. Toolkit goes very seldom.
EDIT: Great!!! How did you fix it?

Well, problems with toolkits is they run commands in sequence. Not to mention the user knows nothing and almost always ends up in the Q&A section asking for help because they get bootloops trying to flash a ROM/mod downloaded from what they think is a make my nexus kewl forum.

i have rather an established toolkit running official google components in sequence than a hacked/leaked samsung app that is neither documented nor known as to what it does and how it does it (and it will run stuff in sequence though). i own the s2 and know their forums, it is overfull of odin broke this odin broke that, pressed a wrong button phone dead, try jig here send it in for repair there. gnextoolkit is a great tool and the guy has put so much effort in it to keep it up to date and documented. every single thing he does there is laid out in the tutorial, fastboot commands aswell. i would recommend that tool to new users in a heartbeat.
I wouldn't exaggerate though. I owned Galaxy R, then S2 for more than year totally. I've never had one single issue with Odin (and I am a flashoholic ). Yes there were some instances when people messed around using it in a mindless way (or simply had bad luck...or Kies turned out to be a villain...) but the majority used it regularly without bigger problems. I'm not trying to say that Odin is perfectly safe...no no but if you follow the guide, have all required drivers installed (and Kies turned off) I don't see the reason why I should discourage users from running it.

use always odin and don't post if you will have problems.as molesarecoming sad you,fadtboot it's the way to go.odin works too,but fastboot is better,and don't say "fastboot has command to write,it's more difficult bla bla bla" all ****,there are not more than 5 commands to know for the major parts of operations.tools works withouyt commans,but i prefer manually because i know what i'm doing and i know if seomething goes wrong,at which type of command the phone was when occured the problem.
So, I was running cm10 on my galaxy nexus and I tried to upgrade to cm10.1. I was having some issues after installing gapps and figured I would reboot, wipe and try again. So I factory reset and wiped cache, delvik and system. Now, when I go into any of my folders on my sd in TWRP, I can't find either or restore or even my cm10.1 file! Did I just completely brick my phone, or is there anything I can do to reach the either my backup or a version of the cm10.1. I know they are somewhere on my SD, I just can't reach it due to the 4.2 filing system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ross
Sideload a rom through TWRP and adb.
If your device does anything at all its not bricked. Especially if you can get into RECOVERY mode. Why would they call it that if you couldn't recover from it?
They are probably in the /0/ folder now, but if you still cant find them try what xobx said.

No the /0 or /emulated/0 folders are in the /storage folder. You could try using the toolkit to flash a ROM for you or even flash a different recovery. CWM if you have TWRP or vice versa

I'm not sure why everyone's so focused on a /0 folder. The first answer from 063_XOBX was the right one. Push a ROM to the internal storage with adb, boot into recovery, flash ROM.

and I JUST downloaded this adb on a mac, so I shouldn't have to deal with driver issues, should I?
