Hello guys, my nexus died
I had some problems with a rom so i decided to restore a previous backup(bigxies JB rom) which was working when i backed it up ofc.
Did the backup and hit reboot in cwm, nothing.
wont turn on wont get into fastboot no download mode nothing. when i plug in a charger no charge animation, nothing.
i tried flashing a stock rom with the nexus toolkit but it keeps saying waiting for adb. nothing happens.
windows doesnt recognize it either when i plug it in my pc..
any ideas? it seems that i am screwed
you have to install the correct drivers first, if you can get into fastboot then you can return to back stock

can you get into odin mode with vol-+power, if not then search this forum for "omap flash"

i cant get in to odin mode either, the phone basically behaves like it doesnt have a battery, no sign of life whatsoever.
Ill search omap flash, thx
when i connect my phone to the pc it shows up as omap4440 in device manager, then it disconnects and reconnects every 2 seconds..
I tried a omapflash program i found but it keeps saying waiting for phone to connect
quick update, managed to install the omap4440 drivers and reflashed my OMAP 4440, now i can get into download mode
good news guys, my phone works again, i am very happy.
thx for the omap flash tip!!
For people that might encounter the same.
download https://rapidshare.com/files/1168981...Flash_tuna.zip and unpack the zip on desktop or w/e.
now when your omap4440 is recognized by device manager quickly double click and install drivers(you have about 2 seconds) select search drivers on pc and select desktop(drivers are in the above download.
When thr drivers are installed run the *.bat file in the download
after that u can get into download mode and odin flash a stock rom.

so it's confirmed, it works at least for download mode. THANKS!!!
Can you please confirm that fastboot/bootloader is still available?
Yes i can confirm that. Everything is working as it should!
Actually in my case i didnt even have to odin flash anything. After omap reflash everything was working. Download/fastboot even my old rom booted fine.

maybe sbl or fat32 boot partition (x-loader, uboot, kernel) was missing.
one more thing: how long did omapflash took to complete?

I am glad you fixed it
About 9 seconds mate after that it said touch any key to continue but all it did was repeat the process so after 3 times i was like ****it. And yeah i dont think major files were corrupt in my case. Just some inportant ones.
Im also glad i fixed it and i hope this will be usefull for sb else.

Hi everybody, im new here.. so i'll go to the point.. i had recently buy a samsung galaxy s2 tmobile t989 version, im from south america, so i need it to root the phone in order to unlock it for all the operators.. so i followed this tutorial step by step http: //galaxys2root.com /galaxy-s2-root/ how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ (just fill the spaces)
Now.. once the the odin finished.. the cellphone got in a boot loop, i couldn't even go to the recovery mode.. because in the recovery mode also reboots.. and now.. the phone wont turn on.. and when i connect to the pc via usb.. y get that noise.. its like two fast tinun (dont know how to explain) and now i dont know what to do because the only way i think this could be fixed is via JTAG but no one does that here.. only in the USA.. anybody can tell me why that tutorial didnt work and what can i do now?
I had that issue aswell. My phone got into bootloop and recovery actions rebooted the device. Only difference is that it happened after a regular reboot, not after Odin.
I'm not sure why your device isn't turning on, though. Maybe it just got completely discharged. Try to leave it connected to your PC for a while and then try to turn it on again.
Try downloading this Stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350360
And follow these instructions on how to install it properly.
its not a battery issue cuz i have another galaxy s2, the international version.. and i managed to put the battery from the t989 in the international and charged it.. still.. the phone doesnt turn on.. so i cant do any odin stuff.. when i connect to the pc i get that the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver was not found..
Are you sure you're in 'Download Mode' when you connect to the PC?
Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and then connect the USB to the device.
ToastMan12 i already said.. "the phone wont turn on" i cant put in download mode or recovery or any mode.. WONT TURN ON
OK dude. Was just making sure...

i just downloaded some qualcomm drivers for the QHSUSB_DLOAD, they worked, and now odin recognizes my phone even its not turned on.. now the question is.. what do i do? what files i have to put in the PDA?

What did you do with the files. I extracted them and plugged in my device and still get the noise but nothing.... You said it odin recognizes your device now?
yes, go to the device manager, and install the drivers from there, then, odin will recognize your device

Does your device boot up?
Since your computer can see it in apx mode, I would try flashing the stock rom package through apx mode. You can find it about halfway down the development thread page.
That is of course you have tried everything else that you want to try.

ok ill try that is there anything else i should try first im not that good with android devices yet (still learning)
ok i found the APX recovery download but i didnt find any instructions on how to use it any suggestions?
oh nevermind its and exe
Ok so that didn't work the exe doesn't see my tablet so I extracted the exe with 7zip and found the image folder which has a bat file in it which after the first command I hear the windows USB disconnect sound so are there any other recommendations?
Do you have the drivers installed for apx mode?

ya as soon as you send a command with nvflash even just nvflash --sync i hear the windows disconnect sound
Simple write up for now...simplicity is the key here....
and let me explain first what I did...flashed a rom using rogue recovery on Caulkins ICS 1.6 I think...
things I tried and did not work...
*zimage script for windows copied went through...but did not work considering system was M.I.A. and SU wasnt present to finish the job...
*hold down button does not bring you into download mode as expected...
HOWEVER...if it seems all you can manage to do is boot into the rogue recovery and the sd cards and backups are all whacky...then you my friend still have a option....use ADB COMMANDS while connected in recovery mode...
adb reboot download
and your phone should now be in download mode...
p.s.-if this has been covered already please disregard and be on your way i suppose...otherwise if this has helped you please hit the thanks button XD
Don't think this will work from a hard brick.
BUT
Even though you can get into download mode, doesn't mean anything you try to Odin will work. It'll stall at data.img or something similar.

why is this in development? and how is that different than pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding vol down + power?
this is in the stickies and super basic knowedge...
mmk
everyone must have MISTAKEN ME...
I COULD NOT...to save my life get into download mode via holding vol down button...nor would it boot...
nor am I a noob at any of this...
there was nothing on the phone but a borked recovery...
the one from ics roms (rogue I think) ...I did the stupid and flashed a rom while using rogue...
and wiped...my phone completely bricked...
no download no nothing...
took me a hour...but then I realized as long as there is recovery I should still have adb.
and yes it actually took in odin...my phone is been running perfect stock for last couple of days now...
downloaded modem and data.img with no problems...
sorry I wasn't quick on the reply but guys come on...
I know the sticky is there...this was a complete different situation than anything I seen in the sticky...
and also putting anything on SD card and trying to either flash or restore would not work seeming the sd cards in the recovery are backwards...emmc reads sd card...and vice-versa...
so thanks for the know-it-all guys who didn't read saying I COULDNT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE and I wouldnt of posted it if it didn't work....

this still doesnt make sense.. either your button is broken, or you werent doing it right..
also, if you can adb into recovery there are hundreds of ways to fix that problem, you are nowhere near bricked. you just have a messed up flash. if your sds are swapped and you cant get to them and flash, thats an error with the recovery, but you can still adb in and copy them to a place you can flash from. you can even flash directly from adb.. but nothing you did from add, nor recovery could restore your download mode. if you lose that you need a JTAG.
Searched all over and google yada yada yada. So i end up opening a thread here.
Hello guys/babes/kids/oldfags/ifags in disguise . I have a galaxy nexus here that will only boot into
-download mode,
- fastboot (not working at all, pc wont detect its fastboot and buttons all dead when in recovey/fastboot)
- safe mode - will boot into safe mode if i did combo buttons when attached to charger/pc
The story :
When i booted it from batt pull via only power button press, it will go into download mode straight and if i power off or factory reset in safe mode, it will reboot back into safe mode.
I cant flash anything since fastboot is broken. Ive tried Odin back to factory image of Galaxy Nexus GSM ICS and Jellybean but the prob isnt solved and fastboot is still broken. Tried repartition and bootloader update in ODIN yet still fail. And after every successful flash of repackaged stock, it will directly boot into safe mode (for both ICS and JB factory image). Why i didnt flash using fastboot? Fastboot is broken that is. Lets continue...
Other hardwares are still fine as in safe boot, ive tested all the buttons, display, calls, speaker etc. This is fastboot relate i believe as no matter what pc ive tried and all types of gnex drivers i tried. It wont even fart when connecting to pc(win7 x86). ADB works fine though when i booted into the safe mode. Im able to do adb stuffs but whenever i query it to reboot to fastboot or recovery, a dead end again. OMAPflash the tuna edition for omap4460? Tried yet still the same.
Additional facts : The phone was not unlocked and tempered by any way before the prob happened but now the bootloader is unlocked after i flashed the repackaged ODIN (chainfire posted it)
So XDA Gnex'ers, LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

First of all, bricked mean there is nothing beside a black screen. Nowaday device are hard to brick. second, One does not simply flash a gnex with odin. It's simply a big wtf that is shining through my head. 3rd, if fastboot is not working, it's because it need a special driver that i suppose you didnt install. If you can boot your phone in fastboot but can connect to it, it's because you have a broken USB port, which is not the case since you can access adb. 4th, i'm still trying to know how you achieved this. It look to me you were following some instruction and it either ended, tl;dr i will skip a few step, hope it will work which didnt or you missed electricity. Install Kies, get your phone in download and recover your phone from it. Never attempt again to play on custom rom. Man, how can someone derp a galaxy nexus, it is like the easiest device to work with.

Thx for the reply.
Some clarification here, im not the owner of this phone. Im using 9100 and im just helping a friend to recovery. Ive tried few pcs and it wont even fart when i plugged in during fastboot or recovery (i read someone that in recovery you can do some commands) but the pc(s) wont even detect a hardware being plugged in.
Plus, in fastboot, i cant press any of the hardware keys. No vol up or vol down and the power button dosent work in recovery. I only got to the 3e stock recovery via 'adb reboot recovery' during in fast mode where it booted into the relaxing chillin android with the triangle + red exclamation mark on its tummy. Pressed all buttons and it went to the 3e recovery.
At the 3e, only power button works. I cant toggle a bit using the vol keys. Note that the vol buttons work to boot the phone into fastboot and download mode and also during safe mode, all the keys works flawlessly.
So, i tried the odin method to recovery this living Gnex but with a faulty heart and kidney but it will still boot to safe mode regardless of ICS or Jellybean.
How did this happen?
I have no idea. The owner of the phone claimed that he has never rooted or tempered it in any way. Plus it was still on ICS when i first got the phone (all data was still intact but it was in safe mode at that time).
Regarding drivers, ive attempted many pcs with almost every drivers available. Shall i list em here:
- KIES
- Naked Nexus drivers
- PDA.net
- the 'official' gnex verizon driver set which is said working on GSM devices etc.
Tried those and adb+download mode works fine. Pcs detect em and tried to install the hardware n search for the drivers but not in fastboot. Its just dead.

Adb works fine so im able to pull anything when its booted. Im not sure if we can pull anything in download mode. Adb/fastboot didnt work in download mode. Am i correct? Mind to share some light here on this. And in fastboot, none. No vol keys to operate and the 4-5 pc ive tried wont even fart a sound or hint anything saying a hardware connected. Its like its a dead circuit plugged only in fastboot.
This is quite a super rare case here. Most of the dead gnex i found on the next and also in XDA has a working fastboot that only needs drivers to make it working but on this unit, even the vol keys is dead. Awkwarddddd

Mind to share some light here on this. And in fastboot, none. No vol keys to operate and the 4-5 pc ive tried wont even fart a sound or hint anything saying a hardware connected. Its like its a dead circuit plugged only in fastboot.
This is quite a super rare case here. Most of the dead gnex i found on the next and also in XDA has a working fastboot that only needs drivers to make it working but on this unit, even the vol keys is dead. Awkwarddddd

Great to know you are not the one who did that . So if i understand correctly, you say download mode work ? If yes, flash another stock rom from chainfire using odin. No one wan't to flash with odin, but if fastboot is not working, you shall at least try it. Also, when you are putting the phone in download mode and connecting it to kies, it should detect it has to be restored. i would say the main reason for it to not work is that android debugging is not ticked in developer options. But that would be strange that adb work on safe mode. There is probably a way to that with adb but you will have to google it. Tell your friend to follow instruction next time. And ffs, do not use odin ! (Little idea too, try to get in fastboot not connected on PC and wait a few minutes then see if you can move with the volume button, then try to connect it on pc)

Yes i have already did that few times. Few times of ICS factory image and few with JB. All are repacked version provided by chainfire. Its the full package not the software only with stripped bootloader n recovery. Its still the same

fastboot should work

did you try flashing google's factory image in odin??
my fastboot once was unresponsive, but rebooting into it fixed it
from safemode, if you adb reboot bootloader it is unresponsive?

only suggestion left is to just boot into fastboot, leave it alone for awhile (5-10 mins), then try and plug it in and mess with it.
Try doing the whole driver thing mentioned above but instead of flashing a Google image just do the boot loader portion, what settings are you using to flash in Odin?
Sparx639

adb does not work in download mode/bootloader. adb only works when adbd (adb service) is started, and that happens in android boot process. it means android debug bridge.

Sorry for the long delay to anyone waiting for the answer/status.
Jtag cant fix it. Returned the device to a friend. Prolly a mobo replacement is the solution but its damn pricy here in Malaysia. It costs 80% of the price to get a new Gnex.
Hell yeah and thx to everyone supporting this.

Hey
I know this is a greatly discussed topic but I have been through countless threads and tried everything so please bear with me! Long story short, my phone is in a massive rut at the moment and nothing seems to get it out of bootloop (tried fastboot, odin etc; yes I'm not an expert at all but I'm not exactly a noob). Odin is/was my last hope and for some reason Windows XP seems to keep crashing it the minute I hit start. I read through numerous posts on the Galaxy Nexus forum and have also tried numerous other methods including trying to go back to stock via fastboot and toolkits, trying to flash .img files individually etc etc etc and I basically need all the help I can get if someone wouldn't mind? The phone does turn on to fastboot and is detected on toolkits and drivers are fine.
For those who need the info its a i9250 GSM maguro (UK version i.e. without google wallet) running JB 4.1.1. I did try to flash maguro ICS 4.0.4 and when I go into fastboot, the bootloader version has changed to PRIMELA03 whereas I'm sure JB isn't that but I may be wrong! The phone crashed 2 nights ago and ever since then it gets stuck in bootloop when switched on, the images are noisy and fuzzy as if the phone has some kind of virus and nothing flashes on it! Fastboot just crashes requiring a battery removal all the time. Odin crashes too so I cannot flash any other firmware. The phone is not rooted but the bootloader is unlocked and I have no SD card (obviously).
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong thread or done anything I shouldn't have -_- I just need help so someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction!
Thank you in advance!!
Update: I just tried to flash JB back over the bootloader version and it changed from PRIMELA03 to PRIMELC03 so the bootloader version does change however nothing else seems to flash!
Update 2: Think i finally managed to mess my phone up. Got the yellow exclamation mark triangle between a phone and pc -__- anyone have any insight on how to go around this? Everything I have read up has more or less got to do with all other variants of Gnex other than GSM!

Tried this last night, even now, OMAP works when the phone is connected and runs the .bat file perfectly however it has NO effect on the phone, as soon as I try to boot it just comes up with the > phone!PC < screen, however ODIN does detect the phone so I am convinced it isn't a full brick! Odin however doesn't go through the process of flashing it just says FAIL in red on top once I start the process because I cannot get the phone into download mode or fastboot.

Question from me, how did you get fastboot to work on your windows xp?
Keeps crashing as soon as I want to open it on mine

Well I didn't use the conventional way; I had a the Wugs nexus toolkit (Yes I know xda doesn't take kindly to toolkits but I only use it to launch the ADB command prompt cos I don't really know how to use the SDK toolkit method) from which I launched the command prompt and used fastboot commands through that to try flash .img files to the phone. Unfortunately it all failed even when I could access fastboot. Now Odin doesn't let me flash anything either; It just says failed.
Sorry if this doesn't answer your question but that's how I went about doing the whole fastboot bit If you mean it crashes when you open cmd maybe try launch cmd through Wugs?
