since you didn't do a Android your basically screwed so all you data is gone you only hope is to transfer a file through fastboot(can you even do that?) Or boot to Odin mode and flash a stock image

GSM or LTE Gnex? What ROM were you running?

Golden rule: Do a backup before doing anything to your phone!
Now all you can do is to download EXACTLY same ROM as you were using by now, wipe cache/dalvik-cache, flash this ROM once again and hope that i'll boot. If it won't you'll have to wipe /data is well.

ouch... softbrick.
put your phone down.
take a deep breath or two.
If you are old enough, grab a beer and relax for a bit. Think calming thoughts.
Now, start learning about how to mod your GNex. We can help.
Here's your First assignment:
find out if you still have a bootloader by booting into fastboot mode. Report back with your findings and a screenshot!

Still have a bootloader? Are you serious? You need to learn how to use an android device as well.
To the OP: Do a factory reset in Clockwork and go to mounts
and format /system. Flash the ROM zip. Profit.

Absolutely serious. Have you been reading this thread? The OP needs to start at ground zero and stop just trying every tool he/she sees. My purpose was to get this person to do some research and I was establishing a knowledge baseline. One plan I was considering was to help the OP install the GNex toolkit then locate stock images and obtain a working build. Your cryptic one liner bit should prove vastly more useful to this guy though. I'll let you have at it and go back to my dev work. lol at least this post was a good way to make sure gapps/root capabilities are properly cooked into my latest test build ....

U r right i am not good in android but i tried to be and this happens, meanwhile nothing shows after i start the device it shows the !!!! mark with device the PC logo,this happens due to ODin actually the SUMSUNG ADB interface shows ! mark because i cant debug from device even no bootloader works any more thnkz for replying

*facepalm*
OP, you are holding it wrong.
I can think of at least 2 ways to recover from a situation like this. Both are well described in these forums (search works 99% of the time).
....
Oh come on, you don't have the zip of the last rom you flashed, get another one, hey, its free right? **** we dont know nothing about but we'll flash it anyways!
Man...If you have cwm recovery, you're safe. No need to go messing with fastboot (forget odin) just yet. Now stop wasting everybody's time and learn to help yourself.
Here's a few tags to get you started:
cwm, recovery, adb, bootloader, fastboot

i tried more than one day on this issue its only starts with !!! mark on it nothing else, i have attached the pic i cant access any bootloader or any cwm or any thing all i did with Odin and stuck to attached pic even i start the device its shows the same pic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdM2M8Nz6QQ this I used on Odin
thnkzz

As I suspected earlier, it appears that the OP may have trashed his bootloader partition when he tried using Odin to flash the 4.0.2 factory image (which includes a bootloader). At one point he had CWM but not any more since he can't boot to the recovery partition.
Another possibility is that the Odin tool itself places the device in this mode and it can't be manually reverted by starting up in fastboot mode. Looking at the picture, it literally appears that the phone is saying that a flashing operation is half finished but the phone has lost the PC connection... This would be a lot like what I've experienced with iPhones.
In either case, I can deduce that Odin is the tool to use to clear this softbrick.
Hopefully, it'll be flame-off now Sdobron. Perhaps you might want to help out here since I'm not up to speed on the Odin tool myself and would like to learn more about it.
@salym: I know this may be redundant but I need to establish your problem baseline empirically. Once again, can you verify that when you hold vol down/vol up then press power that you get the image you posted?

Use Fastboot!
Dude, it looks like your problem is with crappy boot sector.
While turning on your phone, hold both volume up and volume down buttons, and long press power button untill you feel single vibrate feedback.
Then connect your phone to the computer via USB, and if it doesn't detect drivers, google "samsung android usb driver". Additionally you can install PDANet application (X64 or x86 depending on you system).
THen download Fastboot - there are plenty of instructions how to flash it, and flash stock images (that come with radio, boot sector, rom itself, etc) - there are also plenty of discussions about how to do it. PM if you have any other questions!

[Q] Possible bricked wonder?

Hello,
Recently I've flashed Arco's CM9 version. It all went well for a couple of weeks until today. When I booted my phone, suddenly all apps started crashing and then it rebooted. But, the problem is, it is now stuck on a flashing Samsung logo.
Before I've started this thread, I've read many many similar threads about this, and started a 'rescue operation' by my own by using the tutorials for flashing back a stock rom with ODIN and other possibilities.
Unfortunately, after I've tried twice using ODIN, my phone is still stuck in the Samsung logo loop. I also can't enter Recovery mode, but am able to enter Download mode, as you've probably noticed.
As this is my first Android phone, I've always carefully read the tutorials and disclaimers about possible failures. I'm aware that the maker of the rom is not responsible for this.
Since I tried to flash back to stock android 2.3.6 from CM9 kernel, I've read that this could give some problems. My question is:
- Would flashing CM9 back worth a shot, or totally useless?
I hope you can help me, and if there isn't a solution, I hope the shop can cover this as I've got warranty for one year and 9 months.

Care to share how you had flashed it at first...
And you can still boot to recovery rite ?

I've read elsewhere that it was a hardware problem that appeared on 1:10 Wonders... I'm really disappointed since this was my first smartphone...
A small question though: Since I've (tried to) flash it back to stock rom, if I bring it back to the shop where I bought it, would they notice that there was another rom, which could give them a reason that I've void the warranty? I really don't want to pay another amount of cash for this (faulty) phone.
Also in reply to andynroid: I've flashed CM9 the first time with CWM, as adviced by Arco68.

Can you still go to recovery ?

The only solution seems to be to flash an Asian rom with multi package.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk

when you try to enter recovery mode, what is the image you first see? is there an image that look like an android? i cant remember the exactly image but if you see that image, i think you must reflash the CWM via odin. Because every time i reflash the stock rom, my recovery mode will gone. So try to reflash CWM via odin. Nothing wrong if you give it a try

I wished I could enter Recovery mode, but the problem is: I can't
. But I also didn't know that if I flash back to stock rom, the recovery would be gone too. Maybe I should reflash CWM via odin. Nice advice.

Jup. One out of ten => 10%. Such an error rate may not appear for such a great brand. That is ridiculously high. Even 1% is too high in my opinion.

Yeah, but what I've heard from others in the Netherlands: they will say that your device has been damaged by water, which isn't protected by warranty. And the bill is equal to a new device, or even more expensive. I hope they're in 'good mood', otherwise I maybe have to search for another device.

Hey Bro... this happen to me a while ago.... but covered by warranty , just simply told them at the SSC that you do an update via Kies and sxxt happen , coz in my place there are cases that the phone hang after update via Kies not only this model , it happen to others model too.
I suggest that you flash it back to stock before you send it back to SSC , without CWM .
cheers

the customer is telling the truth. same thing happened to me. i've had 3 galaxy phones, & this is the first time it happened. i downloaded an app from Playstore. used it for a couple of hours. then exit the program. then after a few hours while playing a different game, my screen went black (which at first I though was due to low battery) then it turned on but only until the NoteII logo. Tried to charge my phone but the battery icon only had this white circle at the center, there wasn't a green bar that's supposed to be showing up when you're charging. I couldn't access the recovery mode. i could access the download mode though. I tried to install CMW & stock rom, but both failed. Odin said my phone has got no PIT file.... please help!
BTW. Let me just tell you more about the apps involved. I downloaded Zynga Poker from Playstore at around 1PM. Played it until maybe around 3PM. Exit the program though it's still sending me annoying notifications. Then at around 9PM, I played RuneMasterPuzzle, which I've been playing since I've got my phone. Actually I've had that in my S2 before & never had a problem. So I'm blaming Zynga Poker.
I really, really need your help. Please...
TIA

What the hell. So I'm not the only one with this problem. Same goes for me. I checked mails on my note 2 when it suddenly went black and rebooted. Then it was stuck at the first bootscreen. I can also go into Download mode but not into recovery. I tried flashing Stock Roms, Rescue Rom, Custom Roms, Root and CWM but nothing ever changed the situation.....perhaps this is a bigger problem?!

Then try to use Note 2 Toolkit.
Does it work?
Among other features, this one (as stated on their thread):

Problem with toolkit is that i does not see my phone. I can only get to download mode. Nothing else. Can't boot it up and when i try to use the toolkit it says that USB debugging needs to be enabled... well seems like that isnt the case, did not need it before so i think it's disabled :/

What did you do to the phone exactly?
Did you ever root it? Which root method did you use? From where did you follow instructions to do so?
Did you ever flash some firmware? Which one? What's the full name of the file you flashed?
EDIT: Please, these questions are mandatory to understand the issue.

Alright so it happened on sunday, my phone was complete Stock and i never installed root or custom rom before on this device. I was checking my mails when the phone suddenly rebooted. When it was up again i suddenly got the S-Voice instructions which i had to click through. After that the phone rebooted again. When i had to enter the PIN i just touched the screen for a second and the screen went black again. Now it rebooted to bootscreen and got stuck there. After that i tried anything to get it back to life. I am not able to enter recovery, only download mode.
In the meatime i flashed anything that looked promising. For example the newest Stock rom for my Note 2, CWM+ Root, Stock Recovery+ Root, Rescue Rom with PIT-File (got it here in the Forum for getting bricked phones back to live, it has all the files - phone, csc, modem, PIT and bootloader), Recovery Fix..... i tried anything but it still gets stuck at bootscreen and i was never able to get to recovery......
When i check in download mode my Counter is now at 10 and Current Binary and System Binary is Custom. Even when i flashed Stock Rom, System binary never changed back to Official. it's always custom....... Odin flashing is always succesful even tried it on different PCs....yet still getting stuck at bootscreen......
Dunno if there's even a way to get it back to live
Edit: I flashed my old Galaxy S up and down without problems and even when it was softbricked it was no problem for me to get it back to live. This time i just don't see any possible solution -.-

Did this also. When I plug the USB Cable, PC will beep (detected by PC, meaning driver is working) But in Toolkit's Interface, Phone's serial number is not showing. What I can do in Toolkit is to Launch Odin, well, Odin can detect the phone. BUT after flashing. It will reboot to the first boot screen.
Is this a sort of a SOFT BRICK?
Is it already a hardware problem? like fried chip or something?
I'm already running out of options here. :crying:

Well at the moment i haven't found anyone who is able to help us and i tried many different things to get it working again. Without success....
Perhaps somewhere here on xda we will find a savior but at the moment i don't see any hope for our devices but to send them to samsung :/

After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

Nothing changed. No recovery after flashing any of these only download modus. Still stuck at bootscreen

Tried some other Stock firmwares but i'm still stuck at bootscreen :/

Same thing happened with me aswell. I went again to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM i wiped dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. Ofcourse i lost my apps but i had phone & sms backup with me.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 with no OS

I bought this phone from a classmate because he said it was hardbricked and I wanted to fix it.. I tried to turn it on and by some miracle it cut on. But I could tell it had some custom Rom on it. I use iPhones mostly but I knew the boot screen wouldn't look like that. The phone had a silver icon that looked like a trident or something. So I proceeded to go to TRPW and wipe everything. I got to system and wiped it thinking it would erase the custom rom which I think it did but now the phone has no os. I can get to TRPW but I want to restore this SGH-T989 to the way it was when it was bought or stock firmware. I've tried many different threads but I can't understand what to do. II download 4.1.2 and tried to install it in TRPW but it won't work. Can someone please tell me what to do?

Wrong forum, US variants have their own fora, which in your case is here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do (might be a few hrs given it's night on your side of the world & most of the mods are there).

Use Odin to upload the factory image to the phone. That's the best way to get it back to out of the box stock.

I don't know how but in trying to get to recovery I went into download mode. I finally got the phone to get recognized and right now on Odin it says mdm.bin. I double checked the firmware rom so I think this should work.

[Q] Is it bricked? If not what is it? What do I need to do? My life can depend on it.

Hi friends!!
After my S4 decided to run away without insurance I had to revert back to my s2. It still had Hellybean on it so I upgraded it to PA 4.45 just to check it out on my phone. Then I went into the instructions on how to unlock the phone. I went to revert it back to stock ICS that it came with to do so and when I rebooted it gets stuck at the samsung logo that pulses. I can't get into recovery but I still can get into download mode but nothing works when flashed. I tried using ODIN for every stock ROM available and still nothing. I never bricked a phone before and this doesn't seem like one to me since the bricks I fixed before have never been able to go into DL mode without being jigged, Can somebody help me. I need this running asap for medical reasons. I'm a sitting duck without this phone if something should happen to me. I live alone and have no land line if I need to call 911.

Are you trying to boot into recovery while you are plugged into a computer?

Of course not. But I think the problem may be that I didn't know that Kies was still installed in this computer.
And removing Kies didn't work either. I was talking to a guy that does jtag repair near me he said try that first. Gave me a pit file and it didn't help.

Here is something something that has worked for me twice. Use JOdin3 ( https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/) Plug your phone in before going to the websute and put the TWRP tar file in PDA. Click start. It will say it needs to obtain a pit file. Click OK. Ignore the part about using in the download mode combo. It should bootloop your phone and you then might be able to unplug your phone and boot into recovery. I use this as a last resort but it has worked twice for me.
