Galaxy Nexus briked!!!

Hello
Last night i wanted to update my phone from AOKP M4 to B28 and with that ocasion i wanted to update the kernel too. I tried to flash B28 over the M4 with cache wipe and nothing after this i make a full wipe(factory,partition,dalvick and battery stats). And all was good...when i try to flash the Leankernel the phone entered in bootloop. After this i tried all the options(gnex toolkit,fastboot,odin)and nothing, my phone now only enter in fastboot mode or download mode the cwm disappear and instead of cwm is the green robot with a red triangle on it.
I post two screenshot maybe someone can help me with this problem because i think i will lose the warranty.

First are from the gnex tollkit ant the last is from fastboot.

Did you try to unroot / reroot via fastboot?

Tryed everything but nothing only errors...

Tried adb? If yes congats you are the 1st who achieved to brick gnex. Except someone else have a crazy idea!

Should i comment your post??

flash the stock images http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
everyone should know how to flash it manually with fastboot..you probably need to flash only kernel and system
the common user error is that when you get a bootloop, people went crazy and start doing eveything...the next time when you got a bootloop, you SIMPLY have to go in recovery and restore the backup.
EDIT: what the error with fasboot? the pic is too small to read

He lost cwm as well so he could't go to recovery and restore. If he can't root/unroot via fastboot i doubt he can flash stock image. I hope he can.

he lost cwm after tring everything, before that he probably can

I make the cwm work but i don't know how to flash the stock image... If i restore my backup i get a bootloop.

Go to fastboot on the phone. Plug it in. Extract the stock factory image somewhere. Open command prompt, navigate to wherever you have GNex toolkit's fastboot binary.
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system.img
There you go. Start the phone.

So it's not really bricked after all..
Try to restore the google image with the gnex toolkit by putting the zip file in the correct folder (read instruction).

I tryed with Gnex ToolKIt read what i post the problem is that in fastboot and Gnex ToolKit i receive this error FAILED<status read failed<too many link>> maybe now you understand me. The only way to flash something is in fastboot in cwm i can cwm work to navigate to wipe but when i want to flash something it restarts.I have cwm 5.0.0.2 something like this.

Try installing via fastboot or cwm a stock or aokp again after wiping everything of course... if you have cwm there is no prob.

Man when i try to flash something in cwm it starts and after reboot it self.

OK, start from the start, when you plug your phone in to the computer in bootloader and type "fastboot devices" does it show up?
If it does then you have no problems.
If not then you may have driver problems.
If it does show up just flash the images one by one and everything will be fine.
The google stock factory images that is.

Motorola Defy+ Bricked

Hi,
Today iÍ totaly bricked my Defy+ after unsuccessful installing CaynogenMod CMX 10 (it stuck on boot animation). After that I tried with CaynogenMod bootmenu to install again 2nd-boot and 2nd-init to boot to stock ROM. But after that I can just boot to stock recovery menu and Android bootmenu (by CM team). In this bootmenu from CM I can just to choose default bootloader. No other functionality works, everytime I choose for example: Recovery -> Custom recovery it appears this error message: No such file or directory...... So I moved to RDSlite, but my phone is not recognized by Windows or RDSLite. And battery is not charging, only blink white LED when is on computer USB. And battery is under 30%. Don't know what to do now...

I take it uv installed all the drivers needed?

Yes I have installed official drivers from Motorola. I used them for SuperOneClick root.

Are you on bootloader mode while connecting the Defy+ to your PC? This is how it looks when on bootloader mode.

I have a similar question I'm afraid.
To update my Defy+ from CM7 to CM10 I wiped all there had to be wiped. When I got to "install zip from SDcard" I found out I had placed the wrong SDcard into the phone. Perhaps I shouldn't have done this but I did, I turned off the phone, changed the SDcard and tried to continue the process.
Unfortunately I can't get to the boot menu anymore, there's just the "M" logo. When I try to reacht the "old" bootmenu (reboot with volume down) the phone hangs at the Android robot with an exclamation mark next to it.
Is there a way solution?

I never seen this screen. How can I get to this? I just know how to get to bootloader with pressed volume down and power button. And in this it's not worked for me.

@fido1828
I guess that's the stock recovery. Try pressing the options soft key or the vol- or vol+ while in that screenIf that happens, you can wipe data and cache and check again.

Thank you, that helped, a bit. Got to the stock recovery and was able to wipe all except Dalvik. Perhaps there's no need to wipe dalvik again, it was already wiped before and no app has run since.
However, when I try to install CM10 the installation gets aborted because the signature verification fails. The zip files have been put on the SDcard while the card was in the PC. Will that be it? Is there a way to get them on the SDcard using the Defy+ now?

You can flash only ZIPs signed by Motorola via Stock Recovery. To flash a CM ROM, you need to get CWM on board. For that you need to install 2ndinit. If stock ROM boots successfully, root it and install 2ndinit and then download latest recovery to get CWM.

Unfortunately the phone won't boot. After the full wipe there's nothing left to boot I'm afraid. Is there any other way?

The only way out now is flashing SBF via RSDLite.

ok. RSDlite I used to install CM7, it's still on the pc. But excuse my ignorance, what's SBF?

You used RSDLite to install CM7!!!
You should have read the beginners guide before trying this.

Sorry, I did read that, understood part of it and managed to install CM7 without any problem.
Now that I re-read parts of it I understand what an SBF is, but still I can't get my PC to see the Defy+. As soon as the battery is placed the phone starts to boot, holding the volume button and subsequently both volume buttons puts it in recovery mode. But than, what can I do to make the computer/RSDlite see the phone?

In that case, try keeping the vol+ pressed, then insert the battery, it should enter to bootloader mode.

Help, can't boot into phone, only download mode!

So I had my GS3 rooted using tookit and I was running FreeGS3 on it for a while. I wanted to try a nightly of CM10 so I got everything ready. So I wiped everything entirely including the ROM of FreeGS3 installed, and flashed CM10. It said it failed. I tried to reboot the phone to the homescreen, but after that it just got stuck. So I pulled the battery out, and now its stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I can't get into recovery mode, but I can get into download mode. Only thing is, I have no way to turn on USB debugging. Pleeeeeeease tell me there is something I can do!!!

It didn't boot because u wiped the ROM. And didn't replace it. You can't boot to a system that isn't there. I assume u didn't do a nandroid which would help here. I.doubt you messed up recovery if dl mode is fine. Should still be able to boot to it using vol+up home and pwr. Cm10 probly failed Cuz it was corrupt. Either DL a new ROM n flash in recovery or DL the stock tar and flash in odin

Yeah I know that's why it didn't boot, and unforunately no, I didn't make a backup. I really should have. Do I need to have USB debugging enabled to use ODIN? Because like I said, I can't turn USB debugging on since I can't get into the phone's settings.

No there is no debugging in DL mode cuz there's no system to debug. Reboot to DL mode and plug it in. Then load tar in PDA slot and flash.

Not that I'm very experienced, but it would seem that for the most part, if you can get into download or recovery mode, then your phone is probably fine. But that's just from my personal experience.

Yup why I never reccomend anything other than Samsung.if u got a screen, ur not a paperweight. Unless of course u own a note or s2 then the brickbug comes into the mix and u might be phuckd lol

I did the same exact thing but I can get into download mode and recovery!!!
I cant restore backups and everytime I odin a stock rom or flash a custom rom with CWM my phone continues to get stuck at the samsung screen right before it comes on!
Any Ideas would really help right now!
Thanx

Odin stock rom but keep cwm recovery. Immediatly after the odin flash wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. it will boot. If you have cwm now you can open the stock tar in 7zip and remove the stock recovery from the tar to keep cwm. you could also dl a rom from here and flash in recovery as an alternative to odin. make sure you wipe EVERYTHING including /system first.

pls help
hai there ..i cant on my hp and i get stuck when i am planning to flash a new rom in odin..
the problem is in odin mode seem the added text dosen't appear when i plug the hp...pls sort this issue

You have stock recovery. Try different cables and ports. Odin is your only hope. You could also try a different version of Odin. Also make sure you have the Samsung Driver Suite (from Samsung's website) installed on your PC or Odin won't recognize it.

^^^^^yes try different cables and make sure you have updated drivers from Samsung......also check device manager and see if your computer is even detecting your phone

[Q]After using JB FW Easy tool, phone became useless

HTC__622
I used this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
To try and upgrade my phone to JB. Followed the instructions to the tee. Unless I used wrong boot img's. Only thing that works now is fastboot. I've tried installing recovery many times. All I get is a black screen once I select recovery setting.
What can I do to install the bloody recovery successfully?!

In fastboot you need to do fastboot erase cache
then you should be able to boot into recovery.
You might be able to wipe the cache from your toolkit but i can't check as I'm not at a PC

Done all that several times.
What I noticed was, when selecting recovery. The screen wouldn't just be black, it'd be lit up. I navigating to where mount USB mode was, lo and behold it actually worked. So my issue is more of, the recovery menu not showing up. It's there and works. Not the menu. Was working previously before I went JB Q_Q

Hmm. That's an odd one.
Just to discount a bad flash can you test just booting the recovery from fastboot rather than flashing it.
Are you capable of using fastboot from the command line.
If so re download your recovery.img and copy it to your fastboot directory and run the command fastboot boot recovery.img
It should boot to recovery again but this version has not been loaded from the recovery partition so it will tell us if you just have a bad flash or not
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yes I can use fastboot commands. Using the command you provided, phone was stuck on the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.

Is the phone locked or unlocked ?
What is your Hboot version ?
Can you enter recovery mode ? did you "install" the recovery that comes with the tool ?
If you can post a picture to your bootlder , that would help

Hboot 1.36.0000
Unlocked. I upgraded from 0.94 HBoot. I can install everything with that tool. Issue is, recovery menu isn't visible. I've done research and seen some cases where backlight isn't on, but that's not the case for me. Backlight is on, and screen itself if on. Nothing is visible but I can touch it and same actions occur as if I were to select it normally. As for pic, I'll try. Have no camera to use.

Still no luck. Nothing I've done makes the recovery menu visible. Did the same process on w8/w7. No difference.

OH, one thing I learned, this may be useful for people who are stuck in bootloops:
If you want to force your phone to turn off and charge, go to fastboot mode, scroll down and select power down. Works like a charm! No script needed to barely charge phone.
EDIT: Nope, still nothing. Anyway I can wipe the recovery partition?
Double edit: Forgot to mention, when executing "fastboot boot [nameOfRecoveryImage].img phone always hangs on HTC quietly brilliant screen.

It should only hang if you are locked bootloader or you are running the first hboot that came on phone release 0.46
To erase the recovery do fastboot erase recovery then you can try flashing again

That recovery that I'm runnin is the CWM you sent. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the first option is reboot phone, which is what I selected and only way I can tell that I have a half ass functioning recovery.
Can I wipe my recovery partition somehow? Maybe that'll fix everything.

Erasing cache is already done by fastboot commands, i don't have a clue how to fix this !

Phone Wont Boot, help please!

Hi all!!
Just before Christmas, my Rooted One X decided it had a OTA update it wanted to do, and tried to install said update.
But once it turned off to reboot, it no longer boots!
It just stays on the HTC Splash screen till the battery dies
I can get it to the Bootloader, but that's about it, on the boot loader This is what it looks like (im unsure if the top messages are normal or not!)

When I try to go to recovery, it just shows a pic of Android and a loading bar for a second or two, then reboots and loops on the HTC screen again, and the exact same thing when I try to 'Factory Reset'
Also, it will NOT power off, you can hold the power button, and it will do off, but instantly will try and boot back up
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Even if it means going back to a stock rom.
If you need any more info, please feel free to ask and ill try my best to answer.
Cheers

I had similar problems, I reflashed cwm and erased cache through fast boot erase cache, at least twice.
This finally allowed me to boot into recovery and reflashed another rom (with the proper boot.img flashed of course).
It's very important that you erase cache

Hi, any chance you could talk me through what I need to do??
Im a noob with these phones, im use to my old school HTC Hero were flashing roms was a little bit simpler lmao
Never put a rom on this at all yet, so I have no idea about boot.img's etc...
Im currently downloading the Android SDK etc as im guessing this will be needed...

I recoverd back to my old 4.0.4 version of android, but SuperSU no longer works so im guessing its unrooted some how?
Now its telling me there is an update to 4.1.1 (Saftware update 3.14.401.27) ....
Lets see if its bricks again! lmao
:EDIT:
ooookayyyy, that didnt want to install at all... hmmmm It downloaded, then went to recovery to install and just errors out, something about internal storage or something... will get the proper message in a min or so!
Anyone reccommend a good Rom to flash? haha
Also, how do I go about flashing the boot.img that im guessing will be needed with a rom?

You need stock recovery to update via OTA, or you could relock the phone and run an RUU of the newest version.

Ahhhh cheers, makes sense really haha
Im looking at installing the Android Revolution HD 18.0 Rom, but im a little confused on what im needing to do to get it all working correctly..
As I said above, im use to just sticking a single zip on the SD and installing back on my old HTC Hero haha

Also, is there any way of mounting the SD card without having to boot the phone up?...
I know you cant do it in the Clockwork recovery sadly!! :s

You can do it in CWM or TWRP. Just click mounts and storage and then mount USB storage. I think what you should do is run an RUU and then unlock boot loader and flash ARHD 18 like any other ROM.

Iv tried that, but it does not work, and I have read in another thread that this didn't work on CWM? Maybe im wrong and my phone has another fault! haha
I just get and error saying E:Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

The open ums lumfile error is because of an older custom recovery you must update to a newer recovery ....try this one

:thumbup:
But i cant find in the thread that you updated the hboot already ?
Otherwise you can use this ruu
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
Relock the bootloader with fastboot command
Fastboot oem lock
And then run the ruu with admin rights !
It will give you the latest hboot and stock JB software
Edit : its best to get to the point, are you on the stock rom, stock kernel,custom recovery
Flash this recovery back
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Put the phone fastboot usb mode and copy the file to the fastboot folder (rename it to recovery.img)
Then the fastboot command
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Reboot the phone and do the software update again.

Try flashing back stock recovery, if it still doesn't install then try the ruu.
