[Q] Unable to get into Bootloader [Bootloop]

So I bought myself a Galaxy Nexus from Ebay and it arrived today.
The problem with it is, that the seller told me he did an OTA Update that in the end causes endless Bootloops.
I thought to myself that this should be easy to solve by just flashing a custom rom but I don't even get to the Bootloader.
Whenever I press Volume Up + Down + Power the Google logo appears without vibrating or anything.
Then it goes on to the Nexus Bootscreen till it just restarts.
Any Ideas?

Does adb recognizes your de vice?

Isn't it necessary to be able to boot to check that?

So it looks like my phone is soft bricked.
There's still the problem that I'm unable to get into the bootloader aswell as into download mode.
I also already tried the OMAP flash tool.

I sadly can't access ADB either. Bought myself a USB-Jig.
Anyone got experience in these kinda things?

It will get you into Odin mode similar to pressing Vol down + Power, then you can use Odin to flash a new firmware which is very dangerous and could brick your device if done wrong

so when you reboot your device it goes back to downloading mode directly???
becasue when i try same thing like you .. my phone was rebooting but it got stuck on the Samsung Logo.
what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.
give it a try if you feel like
thanks

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

[Q] Help! Think I softbricked my phone

I had touch recovery installed on phone. I then proceeded to install cwm based recovery because that is what author of the rom said. After I was done installing CWM on phone, I then started installing the custom rom along with the gapps that came with it. Now my phone doesn't boot into the custom rom at all. I just see the Samsung boot logo, then the screen goes black. I am able to boot into recovery mode though. I see there are guides. They mention to hold both the up and down volume button, but nothing happens. Am I missing something here. Any help is appreciated.

How did u flash your rom? I'm guessing it was a 4.3? Did u remember to wipe? Also remember to flash the rom and gapps from your ext SD card not your internal cwm is a lil touchy

I have the same issue where I installed the CWM based recovery and was able to install the ROM successfully without any problems. Couple of days later I decided to go into recovery mode to take a backup before I flash a newer nightly. I was not able to get into the recovery mode at all and it just goes to the Samsung logo and stays there. Can't boot the phone either!! It's just weird that the Vol up + Down combos or the Vol Up + Power combos do not work either.
What are the other options that I should try?

Try putting the phone in DL mode, get ur USB wore and connect it to PC, now with ur phone off hold vol+vols while plugging in the USB wire, u should get a screen with a warning of some kind, follow directions and press continue, now ur in DL mode, use Odin to flash twrp 2.6.0.4 from techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules now u should have a fully functional recovery capable of flashing 4.3 roms without any hassle, soft bricks are an easy fix with this phone ..

Try different com ports on PC and make sure ur using the factory usn wire, Odin is funny like that, oh and if u have lies installed on the PC Odin will not recognize the phone, Odin and lies don't play well together, remove any and all traces of it or use a PC that doesn't have it install because as long as its there u won't get a connection

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

Try a diff PC then because if u can get it into download mode it doesn't need JTAG, idk why ur PC isn't setting it but if u can get into download mode u should be able use odin, I'd DL mode works it's only a soft brick, JTAG would be a waste

That's strange because as long as u can get into DL mode Odin should work, all JTAG does is force the phone into DL mode so u can flash the firmware, but since u can access DL mode JTAG won't help u, and if it was hardbricked it would show up in window as qcom-dsload or something like that, the ps3 maybe won't recognize it because there is no recovery installed but I would try a new computer, search drivers for t989 and install that driver and use Odin 1.85, if none of that works then idk man but it should work...

It does not. it will reboot once after it tries to boot in download mode, the goes into normal boot. Does cwm have a download mode? i can get into CWM recovery, so if CWM doesent have a download mode i think that would explain it. how would i finish the root if it didnt fully root?

If you can get CWM recovery, just flash the SuperSU package. You can find the thread with a quick search, but the files are available through my Sig. Or you could flash any of our roms as they already have root.
That is odd though...

Try Quick Boot from Play. It will boot to Download without having to hold the button combo.

We are not specific and are not spoon feeding you because this not done that way. You HAVE to spend time and learn what is what. The answers you need and the help you need are already here. If you're expecting download links and screenshots you shouldn't be modifying your phone. The whole point of this community is to learn and share the knowledge - not spoon feed.
Go to the TWRP thread, read up and download the tar that you need to flash through odin. Look for the MJ5 bootloader (hint: look up Wanam's ROM thread, that's one of the many places). After you got these two, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Finally, as long as your phone gets into download mode, it's not bricked. And you got to do something incredibly foolish to make it not boot into bootloader. That said, it would be prudent to learn and act rather than blindly execute what you read - I said the same thing in not so many words in my reply to you in the DN3 ROM thread.

Ok. Thank you very much . There is one problem. I think you guys didnt understand that the computer finds the phone but Odin doesnt i think i must install the drivers for odin to find it. Can someone tell me if ican install the drivers while i am in download mode and how am i supposed to do it ? maybe theres a tutorial somewhere. I am really sorry for not being good with this. But its because i bought the phone already rooted. I know i already took lots of your time but i know how to do everything accept odin doesnt find my phone and thats the biggest problem.
