Search, there's been a million threads just like yours - you aren't a special case.
Check the Q&A section... everything is there.
Have you tried flashing any rooms? If you can get it to boot you can use Adw to pull things off the phone.

and btw, Bricked means the phone shows no activity at all. If it will power up, it isn't bricked. If you can get any kind of activity from it, it isn't bricked. The technical term you should be using is "borked". Your phone is borked.
Just trying to help!!
Download the galaxy nexus tool kit in the cdma thread and it'll have step by step instructions, you will lose everything on your SD card tho.

So I have had my galaxy nexus for less than 24 hours. I was transferring some files over and when I was done I had shut off my phone. Now every time I turn the phone it freezes in the boot animation. I managed to get into the stock recovery and do a factory reset, but still the phone locks up.
Can I reflash the stock image? I would have to do this with fastboot?
Yes. Check the stickies in the development forum there will be guides on how to flash good luck. If I wasn't on my phone I would attempt to help more but I can't get to a computer :/

I was thinking of using the toolkit in the dev section to load the stock rom. I can only get to fast boot on the phone but that should be ok? Correct?
Yes, fastboot should be all you need.

If you want to learn how to do it, instead of using a toolkit, try a doing it yourself by using something like this.
Well that sucked... Tried the tool kit to reflash the stock image and now the phone wont turn on at all. So I'm off to the store tomorrow to return it. I think the internal memory must of screwed itself when I was transferring files from my mac to the phone, as it would never boot after that. I have never had internal memory fail on a phone before...
Instead of using the toolkit try odin

Instead of using a toolkit or odin, use fastboot/efrant's guide like he told you to.

I followed instructions on this site from another user on how to unlock and root my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Unlocking was a success... as was Rooting. I continued to try to install Android 4.1 and my phone has been stuck in boot loop on the "Google" screen since 5 this afternoon. So no JellyBean and no phone. hahahaha... great.. help?
Can you get to your recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yes.
Then just go restore your backup and start over with fresh downloads
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Restore your backup. Or failing that, you may need to reflash 4.0 in the fastboot screen.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I tried that and all I get is "Couldn't open directly" "no files found"
how do I reflash it? do I need to find 4.0 to download?
The easiest thing to do would be just downloaded the one nexus toolkit and use it to flash back to stock and then start over
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
shouldn't that all be in the toro file I downloaded?
Ya if you have a rom on there to flash other than jb use that but if not us this to get back to base

Phone stuck on loading animation, but can get into fastboot and Clockwork mod recovery. Unable to flash a new images using toolkit or adb as device not detected, please help?
You don't have any backups?

Bricking your Gnex is not a easy task.
Just download the wugfresh's toolkit and click the 'back to stock' button with 'can't boot up' checked. That's it all you have to do now is just wait for a couple of minutes.
And finally you'll have your Gnex back to life.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I do have a full adb backup but I can't see my device from my laptop.
[sarcasm]yeah yeah, your device is bricked[/sarcasm]
Have you tried usb jig? Gets your phone into dlmode.

NO. Only if you are REALLY bricked, cannot start bootloader, get into recovery, etc. That's actually quite hard to do. If you ever get stuck on the bootanimation or get bootloops:
1. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. If not working, re-flash ROM
4. If still not working, wipe data
5. If _still_ not working, go back to stock using any method.

That happened because you didn't upgrade your recovery before wiping & stuff.

Just in case: my internal memory SDcard data recovery post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34185439
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Lemme explain what happened. I
backed up my ROM in ROM manager.
So I installed newest cwr touch, placed the files on the SD card like always, I booted into recovery, factory reset data/cache...etc. I went to " install from zip" it's empty. I went to back ups, nothing. Do I was stuck in recovery. Put phone into bootloader (Im drawing a blank on what it's called), installed newest TWRP, booted into recovery. It found the zip, installed it and all was good. But now I wanna go back to my previous ROM to do titanium backup. I bought a jetpack joyride perk and when I installed it on the new ROM its saying I have to buy it. Do I was gonna restore data on it. Problem is, cwr won't recognize my backups.
Thanks in advance.

I don't want to sound like a jerk when I say this... But if something is at least somewhat important to you, it would probably be a good idea to back it up on your computer or whatever. It'd better safe than sorry, plus it's really easy to backup the entire SD with:
$adb pull /sdcard /backup-folder-on-computer
^ Linux command, windows will have a different path

I avoid cmd and Linux command if possible. And it's not gone, it's just placed somewhere else. A Nandroid is all I need usually.

Hey guys so i rooted my phone using odin and was attempting to put on cyanogen mod 10.1 when it failed and i restored to factory settings. then i thought ill restore to my previously saved backup and it stayed at the samsung screen that lights up behind the white lettters. now i tried going into recovery mode and restoring to factory and also tried clear cache and delvik cache. only problem is it still got stuck at the samsung screen so i then tried to reroot it on obin but since there was a binary count of 1 it didnt work what can i dooo
binary count wouldn't stop anything from flashing. after flashing a stock rom with odin again, make sure to go directory into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and then boot up the phone.
I got it working then I tried to put cyanogen 10.1 on and it crashed again idno what the deal is I put it on sd card and loaded it with root manager
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
root manager? or rom manager?
sent from my I747
Don't use rom manager to flash a rom. Odin back to stock (Samsung devices are special that way) or use one of the root injected firmwares in one of the stickies in the development section. Once you get set up, download goo manager from the play store (you must be rooted to use it). From the menu of goo manager install recovery script, you will then have twrp recovery installed. Then follow the instructions in the op for the rom you want to flash. If this seems foreign to you then Odin back to stock and stay there. If you want to continue to modify your device read and read some more. Tony stark has a thread with all the information you need. Just Google search.

It is easy once you do it once. First time can be overwhelming. I'm a visual learner so I found a YouTube video for the phone and followed it step by step. Now I'm almost flashing them in my sleep. :thumbup:

It's only a soft brick. As long as you can get into download mode you can use Odin to return to stock.

If it was bricked you don't get a chance to keep bricking it. Stay with stock until you feel more comfortable with the process.
