I was running a Desire Rom on my Incredible when the phone reset vibrated 5-times and would not reboot..after plugging into charger I was able to get the phone to boot , but lost root and phone was s= on. After reading other threads I was able to use hboot and load the 2.2 stock rom back on the device. Currently the phome is S=on , .092 Hboot I tried to use unrevoked3.2 but fails to push the file when connected. I also have tried to use the fastboot oem enable qxdm 0 command but I get malformed error...Since I cannot connect to adb I will reformat my computer and reinstall the drivers seems to have gotten messed up somehow.
Tried ubuntu just hangs and unrevoked doesn't work with MacOs 10.58
any help would be appreciated

Thanks was hoping to be able to fix it....
So the other night, my power button literally stopped working. I called Verizon and requested another device to be sent to me, but now I have to return this thing to stock before I send it back. I've tried to Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit by Wug, but my device won't show up. I can't get into bootloader mode because my power button won't work!!
Is there anything else I can do?

Is your phone on? Just use adb's command "adb reboot bootloader". If your phone is off, I don't know how you can turn it on without a power button.

connect to your computer and use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
when you finally need to power it off to send it in, just pull the battery.
adb won't recognize my device. =/ It's stuck off.
You shouldn't have to worry then because they won't be able to turn it on either. lol

Uh.. Yeah they will. The physical power button isn't working but as they unscrew the Galaxy nexus they can trigger the mechanic to power the phone on. And then just replace the button and reflash it to stock and then resell the phone.
If they see that the device was already bootloader unlocked, don't be surprised to see additional charges on your next bill.

Have you tried the GN Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
If i remember correct, when the phone is ON, you can connect the phone, then reboot it with the GN toolkit to bootloader and install stock.
I think that could solve your problem
Take the battery out, plug the phone in, and then replace the battery. See if it will power up by itself.

Things I have tried:
GN Rootkit (adb/fastboot won't recognize device)
Plugging phone into computer and restarting computer
Draining battery and allowing to charge in phone until enough juice to turn on automatically
Plugging phone in with no battery
Nothing will work. Never tried a USB jig. Guess I will order one and see if that helps. Never used one before but I guess a google search will help. Guess I'll call Verizon and ask them to extend my return period before they bill me for the device.
Tried the naked drivers?

I had Verizon replace my last phone with Asurion insurance because of a blown speaker. The phone was running Cyanogen. There was no problem.
To be clear:
1. The phone was CLEARLY running Cyanogen because it powered on, showed the CM7 boot animation, and worked perfectly
2. They never called me, hassled me, or anything. Just credited my account.
good luck
Got into Odin mode, but no options to reboot. Just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" The only option displayed is "Start" but I'd have to use the power button to select it (can't do that lol). What can I do from Odin?
Well, pretty sure I just hard-bricked it, so whatever.
Downloaded this: i9250xx_itl41f_fl.zip
and ran it while the phone was connected to the computer in odin mode.
Was kind of distracted by gf and didn't verify that it was for CDMA. I guess its GSM only. Anyways, now the jig won't bring up Odin mode, and I have an imagine of a phone connected to a monitor with a yellow exclaimation triangle between the two.
Guess that's it.
Found a CMDA odin image. gonna try to flash this. didnt realize you needed Odin3 too, lol. Will let you guys know how it worked..
Image worked. Back to stock 4.0.2. I suppose that means it's unrooted. Used the GN Rootkit to relock bootloader. I don't know if stock recovery is installed or not, though. I tried to reboot into recovery using the rootkit, but i just got a red triangle. Any ideas?
Okay so my friend bricked his galaxy nexus (Gave it to me because he said its bricked) of course i accepted it lol. But i tried to fix it i did everything i could from reading forums i swear i have worked forever looking for a fix. It is completely unresponsive no download mode. no ADB connection because when it plugs into a computer it shows up as OMAP 4440 or something like that. i have tried all kinds of different drivers and i have tried on multiple computers (Xp, Windows7, even a mac) he said he was flashing the sdcard or something and unplugged it by accident. So i could understand that being a issue since the phone only has a internal sd card. Anyone know how to get it back? i havent seen a Jtag yet for it and i have a Jig for my Galaxy Sii Skyrocket but it doesnt work on the nexus (FYI to anyone out there the jig works on my dads samsung windows phone) HELP!
You tried different drivers? You should just use the most current ones for the phone. Did you try the new toolkit mskip posted? Did you isntall the SDK?

Thanks for the response i didnt use mskips i dont think. i have tried the galaxy nexus toolkit 6.0 or whatever but i have tried all kinds of drivers including the google official galaxy nexus i515 or something like that. it shows up as omap 4440 in app manager and disconnects and connects constantly then says device didnt install properly. what do you mean by the sdk? i cant find any way to access my phone. i think i tried something with sdk but im not sure
Yes i read up i did do that GNex Toolkit v6.0 and it wouldnt find my phone (Because of the omap 4440 disconnect and reconnect thing i believe.
First off, on't use a toolkit.
Second, when you plug it in, go to device manager, right click the "OMAP 4460" and click install driver. Either install PDANet or find the driver online and your phone should be able to be used in fastboot.
Finally, if your (Or your friends) phone was "Fully Bricked" it wouldn't be recognized by the computer, it wouldn't turn on, it would literally not be able to do anything except sit there, the fact that the computer sees it means that it is "Soft Bricked" which is much less serious.

I can get mine into CWM, but whenever I'm flashing a ROM, it reboots itself.
Install PDANet and when it asks for your phone, go into Task Manager and force close the process. This will keep the driver/program installed without needing your phone and it should then be seen in recovery.
Not working still :/
Thanks for highjacking my post twinky lol. i have seen the answer to yours around... google a little more.

Please Help!
My phone goes into boot loader and download mode however every time I flash Stock it finishes successfully and goes to the same google screen its always stuck on. I'm kinda a n00b so if anyone could help me with this (try to have a lot of detail) I would be grateful. Thanks
It sounds like what I did to my Galaxy Note before I bought my Nexus. When unrooting I overwrote my bootloader with a missed character through ADB. I tried everything, naked drivers, ODIN, all it would come up with was OMAP on the PC. I ended up having to return it to AT&T. Ask him if he was trying to root it the old way through ADB.

samiaziz, make sure you're wiping everything before flashing a stock rom. It wouldn't hurt to wipe system, cache and dalvik and then restart recovery (in advanced menu) and wipe again before flashing the stock rom.
Ok, as long as it shows up, it's still working
OMAP440 is the processor, which means, that is is working, but the bootloader is corrupt, or missing. I'd say it's corrupt (Flash-error)
The best way I've found, check this website: http://www.mobiletechvideos.com and see if they have a JTAG solution... (My JTAG device will arrive in a few weeks )
Even if they don't, send it in, and they'll figure out a way to do that I think they do some special offer, if you send it in for testing purposes...
But, other than that, there's no way I can help you. The firmware is completely fu**ed...
Tried That
I have already tried getting into recovery but that dosnt work. it takes me to the google splash screen
2 words: fastboot, linux.

Instead of JTAG-ing it, you could always try this. The maker of the Riffbox JTAG has come out with a solution for unbricking by reflashing the OMAP processor.. Aptly named OMAPFlash.
I've used it with success several times, but also had it fail on me. It can't hurt though, if your phone is already bricked.
If it's coming up with OMAP4460 (even briefly) when the phone is plugged into your computer without a battery, you are able to run the program. You just need to install the drivers for it.

Hey Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me find a way to un-brick my Galaxy Nexus GSM 16GB (GT-I9250M). Before you call me an idiot, I'll have you know I wasn't flashing it or anything. I was simply listening to music when the screen went all glitchy and the sound started looping. Then the phone attempt to restart, but mid way through booting, it would glitch out again. It would repeat this until I finally pulled the battery. When I got home, I tried to get it into Fastboot mode or Download/Odin mode. Neither of which worked. I was running the stock version of android. If I recall correctly, it was running 4.0.2.
So in a nutshell, here's the status of the phone:
Regardless of what I do, Fastboot mode and Download/Odin are not accessible.
No matter what combination of buttons I press, the screen always shows: Phone ... Yellow Alert Triangle ... Computer
Using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit or Wug's Toolkit, the phone is not listed under Fastboot or ADB devices.
While the phone is plugged in via USB without a battery, I see device manager adding and releasing an OMAP4440 device every second or so.
When I plug in the phone (with the battery) in via USB while its off, it will turn itself on showing the alert screen mentioned above.
ODIN is about the only app/toolkit I've used that "sees" the device.
Using ODIN, I have tried various stock images mentioned in the forums. All of them have either failed or get stuck on "NAND Write Start!!"
I've read dozens of posts on various forums but I could not find a concrete solution, so I'm appealing to you guys for help. Any help would be great appreciated.
Thank you!
Based on what you have described, even if I could get it working again, I would try to get a warranty replacement, provided that is an option. Sounds like a hardware failure. Like I said, even if it somehow started working again, I wouldn't trust it.
1. first off you need to download "Odin 3 v1.85" here
2. also download CF-Root-GGN_YAKJU_ICL53F-v5.1 here
3. open Odin in your computer
4. where it says PDA put CF-Root-GGN_YAKJU_ICL53F-v5.1
5. Power on the device and when you have the "phone triangle pc screen" connect it to your PC.
6. ???
7. PROFIT!!!

You're probably right. I still have my Nexus S which I can fall back to resort to this. I will try what nonione has suggested, and if that doesnt work, I will likely look to replace the phone.
I've never seen a samsung phone that couldn't be recovered (other than physical or water damage).
You can easily get the phone back with odin (no you do not have to be in odin mode on the phone).
Study up on it....tons of threads, use search.
Never seen a bricked Samsung....ever...and I've had at least 6 or 8 different models.
(edit)
There;s quite a bit more to it than nonione tried to walk you thru.
You will need the correct drivers on your computer first...buncha other steps too.
Study hard before you try odin.
Google, "Galaxy Nexus OMAP Unbricker". Download it and when the OMAP devices comes up in the Device Manager quickly right click on it and install the driver includes with the OMAP download. Once the driver has installed run the .bat file in the download. Should go to Fastboot now.

That's easy to repair, dude
That's not a brick, that's just telling you, that the firmware files are corrupt, all you need, is a jig, a Windows PC, Odin and chainfires ODin files
I can walk you through, on Teamviewer, if you want. I've had this problem quite a lot (Not on the GNex, though) I jope I get it, so I get a GS 3 ^^
I do have the same phone with the same problem..but currently out of the country, so cant get it replaced.. I get no yellow triangle my phone is completely dead..I tried the omap flash no luck..please let me know if the omap flash tool worked for you..
Hey guys,
So a bit of an update. I tried using Odin to flash. None of the files suggested worked for me. I also tried the OMAP flasher. While it "did something" without erroring out, it did not switch to fastboot mode for me. My phone is simply stuck in that yellow alert state. So now, i'm going to try using a Jig as familyguy59 has suggested. I saw a video of one guy use one to fix the exact same issue as I'm having, albeit with his Samsung Galaxy 2, but it looks promising. I purchased one a couple days ago and it should come soon. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Hey Guys,
So I tried the jig i bought. No dice. I'm pretty disappointed. : / I guess off to Samsung it goes... I just don't have any luck with Samsung products.
Phone: VZW Galaxy Nexus, Rooted, TWRP Recovery, Lean Kernel
For the first (and last) time in my life I decided to dirty flash a ROM (4/16 build of Project Elite) to my phone (from an earlier build of PE). My phone apparently hated that. It has created an odd world of problems for my phone that I am hoping someone may be able to see a trend with and offer up some suggestions for escaping this odd world.
Here are my phone's symptoms:
(1) Earpiece on phone stopped working: During phone calls, I can only hear audio when using speakerphone. I was able to remedy this by getting the SoundAbout App from the Play store. This tool allows you to manually change how the audio is routed. My phone thinks a headphone is plugged in and tries to route the audio through the headphone jack. This app allows me to fix that problem.
(2) USB File Transfer Mode stopped working: When connecting my phone to the computer it will charge (sometimes, see #3) but my computer will not recognize it as a device. Consequently, adb (and wireless adb), fastboot and ODIN all will not connect to my phone because the phone is not recognized. I have uninstalled, updated and re-installed just about every driver set I can find for the Galaxy Nexus/ I know it is not a driver issue because my wife's Nexus connects to the CPU just fine.
(3) Phone Charging is Intermittent: I have trouble finding a trend with this one. If I toggle Fast Charge (Off or On), my phone will no longer charge. This is fixed by powering off the phone with the cable plugged in. At that point the white battery icon appears and the phone begins charging. If I power the phone back on, the phone will continue to charge but will not be recognized as a USB device.
Here is what I have tried over the past 2 days:
(1) Both GNEX Toolkits: With no USB connectivity, adb and fastboot are not options. This option becomes unavailable with no usb. Have tried both.
(2) ODIN: Phone is not recognized by ODIN tool.
(3) Cleaning USB/Headphone Ports: This produced some interesting black stuff, but no results.
(4) Clean Flash of PE 4/16 Build: Wipe data/cache/dalvik and re-flash. Same problem.
(5) Clean Flash of Stock Rooted Build: Wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash. Same problem.
(6) Mobile ODIN: Cannot locate the tar balls for a stock 4.2.2 factory flash. Have found the necessary files for 4.0.2, but these will not flash in Mobile ODIN. I have read that you have to be on the same android version as the ODIN tar files you are trying to flash. I think this is my best option at this point, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Mobile ODIN to work.
As far as I can tell this is a software problem that is baked somewhere deep in the phone. Since the USB and headphone problem started at the same time, I do not believe it to be hardware. My theory is that somehow fast-charge is locked on (?) and my phone is locked to routing the audio to the headset. If I can find a way to completely wipe everything off and start fresh, I believe my problem will be solved.
Does anybody have any ideas what may be going on here and how I may be able to get this phone back to Stock?
tldr; no usb, no headset audio after dirty flash, how do i get back to stock??
In fastboot, there's no fast charge, since there's no Android running aka no Android kernel running.

Thanks for the response.
I am running Win7. Like I said, I have tried connecting my wife's Nexus to the same computer and it is recognized as usual. The only reason I thought it had something to do with FastCharge was that toggling it has an effect on the charging capabilities of my phone. When I boot into FastBoot the phone still does not show up in the Toolkit and running any operation in the Toolkit that uses FastBoot gets hung on "waiting for devices."
My latest experiment is to Flash a Nandroid of a Stock Nexus Image. However, I have not been able to find flashable stock image! Seems like something that would have been a common file so if you are aware of any Stock Nandroid Backups I would love to try that.

My device does not get recognized within Device Manager. No yellow exclamation mark, no mention of a connected device, nothing. When my wife's Nexus is connected it shows up as expected and communicates just fine via adb. I have followed the guide you mentioned and have installed ROMs many many times with nor problems previously. I have tried the Universal Naked Drivers. I uninstalled all other drivers and installed these. They work as expected with another Nexus, just nothing with mine. Starting to look like I may just be out of luck here.

You seem to be confusing stuff... Fastboot is not ADB, and you have to feed the same driver to windows twice.
You've done this? Sure the USB port doesn't have a bent pin or something?

Let me know if you figure anything out. I am just dealing with it right now using the SoundAbout App and rebooting my phone whenever it won't charge. It is pretty annoying, but I am at a loss for fixes at this point.
I am not really confusing ADB and Fastboot. I understand that they are two separate ways of communicating with the phone via USB. However, as I stated, there is no USB connectivity other than for charging.
I'm at a loss. Then the other day I got down to 13 percent battery and it started shutting off. I think I'm just going to get another phone. This has been the best and worst phone I've ever had.
