Problem with phone and Galaxy Nexus Toolkit

i was running the Android Revolution HD Rom and it was great, and i saw that the AOKP had an update of the rom with the 4.0.4 build so i downloaded that and flash it but since then my phone its stuck on the Google Screen.
I can acces the recovery mode and all, but i dont have a rom on the sdcard to flash, and when i go to the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit im having trouble cause it says, this application has failed to start becauser AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-Installing the application may fix this problem, but heres the thing i can acces the aplication and i can do certain things with it, but if i go to the extract and flash google factory stock rom the aplication runs the setup but my phone doesnt do anything i put it on fastboot and nothing. other thing im trying to do is push a rom to the phone but when i do that the aplication says no device found.
I dont know that to do guys can anyone help me please?
i just got this phone two days ago and i havent use it much, its frustrating =-/

Don't use the tool kit. Set up adb and fastboot on your computer and do it manually. There are many guides on how to do that.

Check my sig.
It'll get you ADB.
And you can push a .zip to your sd card as well.
Details outlined in post 3 of my sig under the "FAQ- Panic" section.

Did you wipe data, cache and Dalvik when flashing AOKP? I hope you did because switching ROMs and not doing that can cause these sypmtoms. Try to go into recovery and wipe those... Your device might just startup fine (although you did a lot since then that might prevent that from happening)...

Thanks for your help guys i did manage to make my phone work, put the 4.0.4 directly from google but it was kind of laggy in some areas so i went back to 4.0.2 and its running great

BRICK???..Stuck in CMW recovery mode and cannot mount sdcard...hlep plz

Hey guys,
I tried flashing the ICS rom (cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxy2.tar.tar) yesterday, My Samsung Galazxy S2 is already rooted, but when the phone rebooted after flashing the custom rom, it reboots to a black screen with a blue light lit. i can boot into CMW recovery, but when i try to restore from the NAndroid, it gives the error E:Can't mount sdcard. when i try to mount the sdcard, it gives the same error. When i put the phone into download mode to use ODIN to reflash it, ODIN doesn't even recognize the phone. if itry to format the card through CMW, it gievs Error mounting sdcard.....skipping format....Done.. If i try mount USB storage, it gives E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or...) How do i fix this, is it bricked? i never ran into this problem when i use to flash my EVO 4G, TP2, TP, or WM 6.5 Mogul.

Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer and try a different cable. I think Odin is your only hope unless you try an external SD card.

I download the Samsung drivers from the website and downloaded Kies. When i try to push the rom through ADB, ADB cmd does not show the phone under listed devicesor it does not show up in Device Manager.

Maybe a different computer? If that doesn't work then I think its safe to say your device is dunskies

try reformatting the card in a PC or different phone & see if it reads.. it could be a corrupt card, but if you can get to recovery it shouldn't be bricked

would it be possible to re-partition from recovery? & doesn't ODIN have a repartition option..?

Once again. Your do not own a Galaxy S2, you own a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Unless the page you downloaded the file from has Epic 4G Touch written all over it, it probably has NOTHING to do with your phone.
You will not find any CM9 build for our phone on Cyanogen Mod's website and you will never flash a rom, tar or anything that is marked for the i9100 or any other variant other than the SPH-D710 to your device.
The bootloader in the International tar you ODIN'd will not work with your phones USB. You will never ODIN anything again in this state. Get it jtag'd or replaced. You can sit here and fart around with it but you flashed software that was not compatible with the your hardware and most of it will no longer work until it has been replaced.

That is a garunteed brick. Just like the ICS leaks from samsung the bootloader borks the usb and storage can not be mounted.
It is NOT for your phone. Flashing roms from that section is just plain suicidal. Its like playing russian roulette with a full cylinder. The SPH-D710 is not an i9100. Lets say had it even come close to working you would have NO voice and No Data. The i9100 is a GSM phone, not CDMA and it does not use WiMax. The hardware in your phone is WAY different.

[Q] Need help ASAP! :c

Hello all, My name is Zach. I've been around XDA for a while, but haven't really posted anything, I thanked devs for work and have been flashing my phone for a while now. Well, last night, I was exhausted, and shouldn't have done what I did. I flashed the full "CODE_SPH-D710.GA10_818252_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" to my phone via mobile odin from an ics rom (Phantoms ff18 I believe). Everything was going fine until the phone just shut off, and it booted straight into recovery mode.
Well now my phone will not boot, and I have no access to my external memory card via CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 that was installed from the tar. All of my roms are on my external.
Every time I plug it into the computer I get "USB device is not recognized" and it installs an "Unknown Device" driver from windows. So I can not mount it in CWM to send the files to internal.
I have tried removing all drivers and kies, restarting, reinstalling, then plugging my phone back in about 1000 times now.
Now some good news, I can get into Odin mode, but odin does not recognize it due to the problem above^
My question is, is there still hope? and can anyone help me?

I would try redownloading drivers on a diffrent computer if possible and make sure you have original cord. You can also try to wipe data via stock recovery and try to boot again just some quick thoughts also could try to find one of the one clicks and pull cord out and put back in once you open the one click (not during the one click) and see if it will show then start the one click also make sure you have the correct drivers install if you go to sextapes site they have everything you need. Hope it turns out ok:beer:

Opening a one click and plugging the phone in just gives me "USB device not recognized"

Reading your post cwm does not come with the leaked build you have to flash agats recovery after. So im going to assume that your talking stock recovery.

Get a Micro SD USB adapter. You can transfer the files with that.

Well. If your phone still turns on there's hope. After you plug it into your computer and it installs that unknown device or whatever go to control panel -> system -> device manager.
Right click on the unknown device, update driver, browse my computer for drivers, let me pick from list of drivers, then forcefully install the samsung driver through there and then try to odin a stock ICS tar http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/LeakSite/?dir=Leaks/Samsung Epic 4G Touch/FI27/Original TAR/.
After the you install the tar I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot to make sure it's clean. Then after you're back to stock then you can root recovery whatever and try flashing JB again. I suggest using CWM and a zip file this time around though. Good luck.

So, to recap:
You were on FF18 with custom recovery, went to flash the GA10 tar via MO, phone died during process, isn't recognized when phone is in Odin mode and connected to a pc, you can still get to recovery and download mode on the phone but can't flash because it's not recognized, removed/re installed
Correct?
Have you tried another pc? Have you tried another cable? Have you pulled the sd card out and tried reading that on a pc?

There is some sort of lesson to be learned here. :sly:

Id didn't die, it just turned off, and restarted straight into the recovery. I have tried 3, and 4 different cables, the SD cards reads in the computer but isn't showing up in the recovery, I get "No files found" and since I cant boot, I cant change the directory for the SD card.

Have you tried another pc?
And was it a full flash? You saw pass and it restarted?
:edit: Just saw your post about using both laptops.
What gets me, the flashing process and a restart and still you're left with the custom recovery. I'm interested in where the flash got to.. since the tar doesn't flash a custom recovery..
One thing to try - Put the phone in Odin mode, have it plugged into the laptop, then start odin. Try it backwards..
Which version of Odin are you using?

[Q] Recovery Won't Mount/ USB Won't Work!! Stuck!!!

Huge Problem...
I just bought 2 brand new S3's from sprint (me and my GF). After several attempts at rooting I finally got it on both phones. However, after flashing CWM and/or TWRP (tried both newest versions), Neither phone will mount anything in either recovery...I mean anything. Odin for a short while was my only option at flashing anything. But seeing how I can't write my own .tar balls all I can flash are recoveries & boot-loaders, no custom roms.
And here is the real kicker...
My phone (of course), will not mount MTP on any computer. What preceded this was upgrading CWM through the Clockwork Mod.apk, after the upgrade I was stuck in an eternal recovery boot-loop (where nothing mounts, so it's useless), even pulling the battery and waiting had no effect. I accidentally discovered that if I boot into Download Mode and hit "Vol. Down" to cancel my s3 would revert back to normal booting procedures. But now no usb... ie no Odin... no odin no recovery...no more options. Does any one have any suggestions??
Note: Both Phones are running 4.1.2 with the MD4 baseband, same kernels, same build, same hardware. Tried accessing USB on 3 different laptops, each with fresh Odin installs and fresh Samsung USB driver installs.

Boot the phone up plug it into the computer when you get the usb icon on the notification bar pull it down click on it then set to MTP and voila your done. By default the new roms make te phone default to camera not MTP.
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4

Cant do that..
If there was a USB icon or any sort of notification other than the chime signifying a charge, I most certainly would... Neither the phone nor computer(s) recognize any sort of USB Data connection at any point. Not In Download mode and most certainly not when the OS is running normally.

That's weird it should while the phone is running. By any chance do you have kies installed if you do make sure it's removed from both phone and computer.

I do not believe I have kies installed. Its not in my phone apps and I never installed it on the 3 different laptops.

I now Have USB access. I did nothing more than try again the following day. No new software installed, no new apps dopwnloaded, no computer reboots, no phone reboots.
Now the only problem is that I cant get either CWM nor TWRP to mount anything in recovery, be it internal memory or the external SD.

Update:
USB will not connect in download mode.
Odin, CWM and TWRP are still useless.

Try uninstalling the Samsung Drivers, then reinstall them without the phone plugged into the computer. After it's done plug in phone, after it finishes loading the drivers go to Development Options and click usb debugging. Let it load the drivers for that. After all is done, power down and boot into Download.
Worked for me, hope it works for you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just to get USB in Odin working, will not help with the mounting problems in recovery. That's definitely an issue with the new batch of SG3's being sent out.
Really hoping someone can figure it out.

i can confirm the not being able to mount storage in recovery with the new gs3 running 4.1.2 out of the box..i managed to get mine rooted but am unable to flash anything because of this issue..really sucks

Is it possible the internal storage of the newer phones is formatted to exFAT? Also, if you are using a 64GB sdcard, it would be formatted to exFAT by default. I don't think either TWRP or CWM will recognize exFAT.

thats a good point however it wont mount my external storage either and i was using a 16gb card i had in a gs2 that i know was not exfat so i dont think thats the problem..unless the new phones are recognizing the storage in recovery as exfat for some reason..i did notice that the option to select the external was available so im assuming it knows that its there it just wont mount it and the internal storage is listed more than once and one of them reads sdcard0 ..im not sure whats going on but something was changed thats for sure

Sdcard0 is correct. That's where everything should be.

Yeah, I don't understand why it wont mount the sd card, or for that matter, the internal storage. I have been trying it on two different brand new S3's (sprint Variant) and still no go. I managed to reflash it to stock through odin. However the only way I can get the USB to work in Download/Odin mode is through ADB reboot-bootloader command. If I use the hard keys to force download mode the usb wont connect to odin. but for some reason if I use the adb command, it works fine.
Does anyone with more knowledge think that the qualcom secureboot has anything to do with it? I know there are ADB commands to unlock the secureboot, but I am hesitant to try it. I already softbricked my phone once, I prefer not to do it again.
Also... My phone is currently stock 4.1.2 - no root, does anyone know where I can get a .tar file for odin that contains 4.1.2 w/root? I continuously try getting it from http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...H-L710)/Stock ROMs/JB/MD4/Full Restore/Rooted ,but the download keeps ending prematurely.

This is a disturbing development.
There are so many postings like this one, yet the S4 is rootable. I'm concerned about the Note 3 now though.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812
Shouldn't have any problems with this and beats having to download a giant tar file

i tried that cf autoroot..it ddnt work...my phone is rooted using a one click odin..everything works perfectly but its stock..just cant mount the storage to flash anything...i think im going to throw an empty sdcard in it and try to format it with the phone..if i can,then push a zip file for a boot animation to it and see if itll mount and see that zip..

UPDATE
Yes, I have tried rooting with cf and many numerous methods for the S3 sprint variant on 4.1.2, the only thing that worked was booting through adb using the adb reboot-bootloader command and then using rwilco12's rooted stock image. that is the only way I can root on the brand new s3's.
And as far as using a new sdcard for CWM or TWRP...whats the point? the problem is not that it wont mount just the sd card, the problem is that it wont mount anything, not even the internal phone memory.

Stuck on the htc One Screen

I am running the NuSenseOne R5 rom. I was in in recovery to wipe the cache after flashing a. zip file and hit the wrong button and wiped the phone. After I rebooted it hung on the htc one screen,won't go any further. Can still get into bootloader and recovery etc. but not past the htc one screen. Tried to flash the rom thru sideload zip flash but can not get the pc to reconize the phone (must have wiped the system). I know it's not bricked but can't get to a system to use the phone. Any way to solve this mess??

What happens if you factory reset?

Have tried that several times, reboots when finished and boots down to htc one screen and stops.

Have run restore in recovery and it says restored but when you reboot it stops when it gets to the htc one screen.

Another thing I noticed after the factory reset was that the boot images were the ones from the rom, not the stock ones. Now it is stuck on the white htc screen with the red writing.

It has to do with non stock kernels. With my kernel for aosp occasionally it'll sit at the splash screen for up to 5 min. Sometimes flashing something to system helps. When it does this to me I reflash my kernel and it boots right up even though there are zero changes

Do you have another Rom you can install? Or a backup you can restore from? Reason why it's stuck on white HTC screen is there is no operating system loaded in it. Go in to recovery do a full wipe and install a Rom.

Try to push a file to your phone while in hboot using adb. Power and volume down to get there.

Tried all day (about to pull my hair out) but could not get the rom in the bootloader using adb..Everytime I selected install zip from sideload it said files not found. Have seen Micro SD adapters in some other threads that are supposed to work on the One. Some of the dudes in the thread said they keep their roms on the sd card and flash them with the adaptor. Anyone think that would work. Sounds like the old days.
Any ideas on what I should do next?

USB to go works I know I've done it.

I ordered the Meenova SD adapter last night because it said it was compatible with the HTC One. Is that what you used?
How did the process work?

You could always flash the stock RUU and copy the rom that way.

Do you flash the ruu with adb? I am having trouble getting the data to the bootloader.

Download the RUU from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436
Reboot to the bootloader, go to fastboot
do fastboot oem rebootRUU
After it reboots to RUU, do fastboot flash zip nameofzip
Let the process finish and you should be back on stock.

Once you fix it never wipe the internal storage. I learned the hard way with the nexus 7 lol

Yeah,it was an accident,hit the wrong button while talking to a friend. I guess it was a problem with the kernal that caused it not to be able to reboot and started all this. Thanks for the help and will work on the phone this afternoon. Guess the Meenova OTG usb will be here Monday or Tuesday.
