Don't know what odin is so sorry if that fact makes this a silly reply. Have you tried the stock images directly from Google? They are a full reset of the entire phone.

Flash stock images, make sure bootloader is locked. Take it to Verizon. When they ask what happen, play clueless customer and keep asking if you will loss your angry birds high scores.

People are saying this may be a pba problem.
Only PBA I know of is a bluetooth profile. What are you referring to?
I have the GSM Nexus so proceed with caution, but I'm wondering if they use the same types of files and folders. This is what I did to fix it when I accidentally wiped my IMEI:

Okay that was quick - solved it!
I believe the problem was that I'd restored the entire /data partition of my prior unit's backup including the /data/radio folder. Not a good idea! The solution was to copy the nv_data.bin and .md5 files from /factory and paste them to replace the incorrect ones in /data/radio. Now my IMEI is back!
Time to backup those files somewhere safe...

Don't try anything without backing up what you already have.
Just flash it to stock and play stupid. Then they will "factory data reset" it, because that fixes everything. Ha ha. No really, they'll give you a replacement.

if you can make a nandroid,
first off you need to download wugfresh's Gnex toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
second you need to install all the drivers if you haven't already.
then you need to choose your model type
after you will need to click on back to stock what it does is it resets everything, assuming your phone ant boot up choose not booting
once that is done you can choose the factory image which can be downloaded from Googles factory images or you can use the options provided
after that you follow all the steps provided in the tool kit. the tool kit is mostly automatic so it wont take allot of time.
once that is done you are back in stock and have lost everything but don't fret because you can root it again using the same tool kit.
quick point your phone still has an unlocked boot loader so don't worry about that.
once youve completed the above steps you should be back to your good old galaxy nexus home screen
Verizon won't warranty it because the sticker under the battery has turned colors. No water damage I just touched one day when I took out the battery my hands were slightly wet prob not smart lol. I know this wasn't the cause it has been 5 months the only thing damaged was the sticker and warranty. Yes I have the right ROMs installed I'm not a newb. This is like the same issue with the s3 I tried to use the qpst method but I can't even get the hidden menu to show on the phone clueless as to why. I just want to use my gnex as a beater phone when I'm out.

but do a search before posting. there are at LEAST 5-10 active threads about this already that you would have found by just looking in the general or q&a session!
but yes anytime it happens just reboot the phone
I don't think this is LOS. I cant get the phone activated because it will not aquire a signal. I have rebooted pulled battery and flashed the samsung stock recovery through odin.
Call CS and have them update over the air

It's probably not your problem, more likely it is a symptom of your problem. Under some situations when you don't have signal, the PRL says default until you get signal.
Did you contact the seller on ebay? I sure would.
The op is a little unclear... have you flashed the stock .tar file from here?
I would do a complete flash using the .pit file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
I thought about contacting the seller but I don't know who is at fault. When i first received the phone it had a signal. It started the over the air activation but never activated. Started the manual programming then got the no signal status. I don't want to blame the seller cause I like to do good business. He may say it had service till u tried to activate it. I will try to flash the stock files and select re partition option too.

there are also instructions somewhere around here how to clear out all user data and start the provisioning process over again. i know i saw them recently but am not sure which thread its in.
So, you can't get into Odin Mode, flash the full stock EG30 ROM by Crawrj and start completely fresh?

Quick question:
I'm getting a replacement GN2 on Monday.
Before running Triangle Away and restoring my current phone to stock, if I were to take a TWRP backup, could I simply restore the entire backup to the new phone without any issues considering it's all the same hardware?
I'm assuming that the other one will be an i317 as well, not a i317m. I'll verify though.
Yes, it's dumb, but I've never actually found a need to restore a backup in my life before despite the countless flashing.
Thanks!

My phone is being replaced through Javelin Media, they're a marketing company that sets up Samsung booths. One of their employees damaged my phone, so they're replacing it and they intend on repairing mine and doing idk what with it. I'm not really sure if I should revert to stock or not honestly.

Might as well..it's easy to do

or just flash a "stock looking" rom..those fools wont bother looking at it too closely
I was thinking of just flashing a stock rom all together. Because they intend on getting it repaired, I don't really want to leave any chance for them to say something about it.
Looks like reverting to stock is easy enough though, may as well do it I guess.

Even though I agree with wase4711.. I wouldn't give these guys any chance to screw you over.
I remember your problem from the other thread.. And if your phone gets back modified to some guy like the one who did the damage, then they would definitely find any reason to say something.
You never know, there may be some people from xda working there. If they are paying for the replacement, one would think that they would go through the trouble to make sure that it hasn't been tampered with.
Good luck!
Just got the replacement today!
No creaks!
The issue is, I restored my old backup after having to rename the TWRP folder to match my old phones ID, but now it wasn't a "full" restore? My s-notes, ringtones, etc are missing?
I definitely don't want them to screw me over, so I'll make sure they get a phone in the same state as they sent me.

Hi all, I'm planning to sell my Note 2 and want to be sure I've cleared all of my data. My phone is Rooted, but I've always been on the stock ROM from sprint.
So far I've:
- Formated SD card
- Factory Reset in TWRP
- Wiped Cache/Dalvik Cache
- Wiped Internal Storage in TWRP
I have NOT done a system wipe or 'Format Data'. I've researched and I understand this should be sufficient, should I take it further?

Thanks for the input Taylor_Swift, I noticed something troubling completely by accident. I don't know if this is related to the Note 2 only or not, but I'm unable to remove my personal phone number and sprint username from Settings>About Device>Status.
I've tried factory reset and even system reset in TWRP and I re-installed the Stock Deodexed Rom from the forums and this did not help. I'm wondering if you or anyone has heard of this and if I can manually remove the data myself?
The only thing I haven't done in TWRP is 'Format Data', I'm not sure that this will work or what it will do.

Your phone needs to be deactivated from sprint or whichever carrier it is linked to. Than the personal info is gone after a wipe. But if the the phone is active, it will always add your info regardless of the rom.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
The phone had to be inactive and you need your prl. There is a dialer code you enter, that does a full wipe. Basically the phone is wiped as if it came out the box. I called and got directions when I sold my Evo 3d.

So they told me that since the service has been cancelled already, there's nothing that can be done to remove the information. When the next person that owns the phone activates it, it will reset. I feel like this isn't true, there has to be a way to do this with canceled service....

I think they are just Effing with you, since you no longer have an account. There is a dialer code, I just don't remember it. Try a Google search or if not, hit up a Sprint store. I imagine a Store Rep should know,especially if they have a repair center there.

Ive flashed modded pit files...pits from random phones. Even flashed a d710 ROM with Odin. Flashed toro plus and maguro Odin packages to the phone and no brick.lmao! Can't seem to brick the thing.
Just don't flash or Odin a radio file that's not from your carrier. Might see how brickable these devices are. Installing the wrong radio file is the #1 way to Nuke a phone. Have fun beside that.

Hi,
I seem to have a dead galaxy nexus (I don't have its history, it just doesn't power on).
I've put a different battery (fully charged), used a jig (301k) and still it's not turning on.
Is it likely a dead board?
The jig works on another phone, as the battery.
Thanks.

Try using Kies and doing an emergency firmware update. It will ask you to input a model number. For AT&T it is SGH-I747 with caps and everything exactly as I wrote it. See if that helps your issue first.

This may or man not help, but my Captivate would sometimes do this with certain updates. I even thought about trying to replace the motor the first time and then after I updated to a different rom it was back again. Or maybe it was just a re-install. Either way, it did come back and I think it happened again once or twice as I tried lots of roms on that phone.
