Need help with rooting process

So I recently decided to root my phone but I can't get past the actuall root process. I have the bootloader unlocked and everything but when I try to actually root it my computer can't seem to find the phone. I've attached two photos of what I'm looking at, if anyone needs more information I'll try to respond as fast as I can. I'm really confused by this. Thanks in advance

Forgive me if you did, but it's worth asking, did you wait the whole 160 seconds?

Yes I did lol, I gave it about 5 minutes then I unplugged everything and tried again, I actually got a little farther and it said <Waiting for usb debugging to be enabled>.
But now it's not even being detected when I first open the root kit. At the top it lists no devices
Edit: Uploaded a screenshot of what i have now.. It's showing two devices and another pic showing where I'm stuck with the usb debugging.

So you do have USB debugging enabled right? Lol. You also have the GNex drivers installed, right?

USB Debugging is enabled and I do think I have the correct drivers, they're the ones that come with the root kit, I've also chceked in Device Manager and it looks correct from what I've seen. I've attached a picture of what my Device Manager looks like, I know its not much but maybe it's something. I'm just completely frustrated with this, it's been weeks and I can't figure it out

The first thing to pop up is the Auto play thing, It says Galaxy Nexus so I'm guessing it does. Also in the earlier screen shots it shows my phone is connected to my computer. It will connect in fast boot and ADB.

Well... if the toolkit isn't working out for you I'd recommend you do it manually. If you have any questions, just ask.

Ok if the computer is recognizing your phone then the drivers are correct. Are you sure that Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging is checked? If so, are you following the toolkit instructions for rooting exactly? I'm just trying to make sure that you haven't missed something like I do so very often.

I've tried this in the past, I get stuck at the same exact thing. I can never get it to recognize it. It's weird I know, Like it will show up connected to my computer and everything but when I try <adb reboot bootloader> it says something like device not found.

I'm trying superboot now, I'll post with updates. CWM hangs on downloading boot.img I think it is.

Ok Superboot worked. You're awesome I never heard of superboot before lol

Glad it worked! Sorry I didn't think about it sooner.

physically bricked?

phone stuck in bootloop. the kicker is my volume rocker is shot. and adb doesnt recognize while still in boot up. aaaaaaaaaaand the warranty is definetly not an option since i have had the inductive charge mod for quite some time now. if anyone knows of a way to go into recovery mode without turning the device on, OR pressing the volume buttons, please, come forth....

I think if all of those are true, you're SOL. In order for ADB or Fastboot commands from your PC to work, the phone must either be in the Bootloader or in Android with USB debugging on.
And to get into Bootloader, you must have a working volume rocker.... Are you sure you can't like hit it and it'll work or something like that?
Otherwise, your best bet is to send it in for warranty replacement and hope they won't notice, which might not be as much of a long shot as you think...

Well if they turn it on wouldn't they notice the different bootup animation and the fact that it wont turn on? Who should I send it to? Google or Samsung? And how? Do u know of a best method?

bump for possible genius to know if theres a way to enter recovery without volume rocker or phone being on.

Are you stuck at the Google screen and when you use adb does it just say waiting for device?

no it goes past the google screen and gets stuck on the bootup image. it happened when i flashed superROM. it never went past the bootup image after that. and adb commands say "waiting for device" yes.

Oh yeah what about ODIN? That might work for getting back to stock and a working Android OS that'll actually boot up.
That's probably why he's asking. Forgot all about ODIN. Although the fact that you can't boot up might be an issue... I'm gonna hand this over to Andro X.
I just meant hit like a light hit on the volume rocker to see if it'll knock something back into place...I don't think it'll really work though, I just gave out a sort of last resort option.

Make a command prompt shortcut on your desktop. Right click and click new then shortcut then cmd for location and cmd for name. Once that's done right click on the cmd shortcut you made and run as administrator. Then adb kill-server and then adb start-server. Now try adb devices and see if your device is now recognized. If it is then awesome you can get to recovery by adb reboot recovery and bootloader by adb reboot bootloader.
Edit...
Just noticed I typed killer server lol by accident. It's adb kill-server. Now fixed above.

i type "adb kill-server" in the cdm prompt that opens after i run it as admin? cuz it dsnt look like that does anything...and it still says device not found

I'm new here, coming from another phone, a Galaxy S variant. There, we had a little contraption called a download jig. You put that thingie into a USB port, and a phone goes straight into the download mode. Don't know if such thing exists for Nexus. Does it?

Hmm... That's something you could do. A jib..... I'd like to know more, perhaps it will work, they're both Samsung, after all.
Andro X, I was hoping you were leading to ODIN lol.
What about ODIN? Try getting that set up and hitting start on ODIN just as you power on your Galaxy Nexus. Don't hold your breath, though, it may fail like getting adb commands working, because you're not in bootloader or Android.
adb kill-server is instantaneous, you wouldn't see any real output on command prompt- that is normal.

yeah but making th enew shortcut didnt help. i went to program files/android master. shift right click and open a cmd window there. from there i did the commands. there was some response but still the phone was not found

okay here is what im coming up with. i can open the phone and find the contacts for where the volume attaches. does anyone know what i can do from there? soldering the volume button back on is not an option. ive been trying that all day. only thing left is shorting the contacts so the phone is fooled into a state where the buttons are held. there are 3 contacts. anyone know which ones i should be shorting? or if thats even workable? i may have completely screwed the contacts by now....ive tried maybe 40 times.

OMG!!!!!! i just did some soldering. pressed power button and now im in ODIN MODE. idk what this means.....all it says is "downloading do not turn off target. what do i do??????

Back to Stock Attempt

Heya, got an issue with a Galaxy Nexus phone. Phone does not seem to get any reception, I've attempted to add the Rogers network multiple times, and still either it says error or there is no reception at all. It is an unlocked phone, as the lock image shown upon restarting is unlocked, and as indicated in fastboot mode.
I figured it is the radio that is messed up. So I attempted to return to stock on my friend's phone. However, USB cable does not function properly, as I have attempted fastboot multiple times such as "fastboot devices" with the proper drivers installed etc. Using AirDroid to move the files, I've entered recovery mode only for it to load to the red triangle and then it restarts.
Also have repeated the steps after factory resetting. I am out of ideas guys, hoping maybe someone can provide some insight. Greatly appreciate it!!
Galaxy Nexus is the GSM one, not LTE. Thanks again.
-Thiefa

The red triangle is the stock recovery.
Having ADB working does not mean fastboot will work as well, they require different drivers, check in Device Manager for something like Android 1.0 or Android, then update drivers for it. There is a nice guide in this section by Jubakuba.

Will look into the guide.
The thing is, with the phone plugged into any computer, it doesn't show up at all on the device manager, in order for me to update the driver.

The drivers are a pain the the arse.
Actually, i did that for my N7, install the drivers and the toolkit never saw the light of the day anymore.
Btw regarding the naked drivers, plug the phone in > device manager > update drivers > then direct to the naked drivers folder right?

See the problem is I've updated the drivers and everything.
Whether in Odin, I don't see the phone pop up when I plug it in.
And no IMEI shows when I use a command prompt and attempted fastboot devices.
I'm just going to tell my friend to return it to Bell.
Thanks guys.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus kinda bricked, need help!

Hey guys
Ok so I have a bit of a tricky problem. I got in over my head on my nexus and tried to install ubuntu mobile with a friend. Suffice to say things didn't go so great and now my nexus wont boot, when i turn the phone on it sits on the Google screen. To make matters worse, no computer I plug the phone into can see the device. The strange thing is I can still boot to cwm recovery mode but there is no longer an android image to flash from and I can't load one back on.
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Download the factory image from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jdq39-factory-5e273f02.tgz. Unzip the downloaded file and you would see a file "flash all.bat". Open this file and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Forgive my ignorance, but how to do install those files?

If you uninstall all galaxy nexus drivers in device manager, and Windows doesn't at least tell you it needs drivers when you plug your phone in, then you either have a bad cable or a very messed up phone. In that case you'd have a hard time installing universal naked drivers. There's something called 'OMAP flash' you might want to search for and ask about. All I remember reading is that some people have used it to recover their phones in situations like yours. Never used it myself. Yet. You might want to ask efrant. He knows everything.

[Q] Nexus stuck in boot loop. how get to install drivers?

Hey guys i've been looking through alot of google and can't seem to come up with anything so i turn to you awesome people.
My friend got a Galaxy Nexus GSM and he bought it with a boot loop problem. The phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked. I know because i can go to CWM recovery and also theres the unlock sign on it. However I can't get my computer to recognize it what so ever not even mount the storage. I figure i need to get the drivers to install but i need it to be recognized in device manager to do it through a rootkit. I tried to install the ADB drivers but also got no luck. I then tried to get to ODIN for it to work but ODIN won't recognize it either. Is there any way to install the drivers so i can put on a ROM on this. I think the person he bought it from formatted everything and messed it up. Is there anyway i can install the drivers without getting it to recognize first? I tried it in windows 7 and in windows 8. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

First off thanks so much for the reply and help it is very aprreciated!
Secondly i did come across this sticky however like i stated the phone is in a boot loop which means i cant get past the google logo in order to set it in developer mode and set usb-debugging neither can my computer recognize the phone when i plug it in, using the original cable i've tried every port there is on my desktop and laptop and nothing comes up in device manager. The phone is completely wiped and no OS is on it. Is there any way i can get a ROM on the phone?! This is one idea i have but i don't know if it'll work, I was thinking of buying a another working nexus install the drivers with that one and then i can get the bootloop one to get recognized? and return the new one. Will that work?

You need to get adb to work with your device, which you can do in a custom recovery. You don't need to have USB debugging enabled, you would if you were booting into the OS, but not the recovery.
You can get drivers setup while in recovery or fastboot just as easy as if you were booted into the OS, so no you don't need another device.

again, read the thread i gave you. if you're still asking this question, read it again.

Isn't that for the nexus 4? And I did pay attention to section A but it told me how to install the drivers which is the same way as every other tutorial I've looked at. My device doesn't show up on my computer and I can't install their way. As for the fastboot driver installation idk what their talking about. I followed the instructions though and got no results. I didn't do the whole thing cause for part C I need the original rom for galaxy nexus and also I don't know if the platform tools zip is for my device so I haven't gone through with it just yet. I'm sorry it's not my phone so I don't want to mess it up even further. I've read about the part with it being in recovery mode with the volume up + power option but I'm at work and haven't tried that yet but I doubt that will work since the phone is clean. Can u please be a little more specific there's 99 pages that I have to go through for that sticky. If u can't it's ok I'll just have to go through it next week. Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction and giving me some hope.

Am i missing something here? i did everything in the other steps such as downloading all the files into the same directory and everything. Im using windows 7 and i updated all my drivers for usb and even tried different usb cables including the original and usb2.0 and 3,0 ports but still no dice. I also tried it on windows 8 and got the nada.

You reboot the device into bootloader/fastboot mode, then you connect the USB, and there's no sign at all that a USB device has been installed?
Remove all drivers, reboot, and start over. Get a tool for Windows that allows you to really dig on all of the installed drivers and remove all Nexus devices drivers permanently. Rant: Umm, Windows sucks bad. Thanks Linus!

I uninstalled all drivers i can possibly find theres non no where i used CC to look for more and device deview and even unistalled the java se and eclipse and android SDK and all the packages and installed them again and still nothing.

Well, maybe you could try omapflash. If you can't get several PCs to see the device, then something's wrong with the USB port?

I may be wrong but i have to do some more research on it and i dont have a linux pc my laptop is down thanks to a power pin connector pin being pulled out. and i dont know if the device port is good or bad i can get a charge but that doesnt mean its fine. What if i get another device and install drivers via that and then try to get it to recognize? would that work?

To really make sure that the issue isn't on the host side but rather the USB port on the device? Yeah, that would rule it out.
Also, I just remembered: you're not using the USB ports of your PC case are you? Make sure you're using the motherboards' own USB ports.

Thats all it would do?! What about making me able to install the drivers and get the phone to be recognized? No wont work im dreaming?
And no im not using case ports at all i use them for charging and thats all i know at least that those arent reliable.

Windows 8 64-bit...drivers install...stuck
even I am stuck on the same roadblock. have my GNex stuck on the google logo. can access recovery mode though (TWRP 2.5.0.0). Now i just upgraded my PC to Windows 8 64-bit and cant seem to be able to install drivers.
the problem is that almost all the methods require:
1. GNex to be connected with USB Debugging ON
2. install ADB Drivers
3. get into Fastboot or Recovery
4. install Bootloader Drivers
since i cant get past the Google logo on my GNex...i cant perform Steps 1 & 2.
and if i directly try to install the bootloader drivers the OS returns an error (yellow exclamation next to the installed driver)
Added pictures to help explain better.
Thnx in advance.

SOLVED (Dont know how but it worked):
1. Factory reset (TWRP)
2. Installed an old ROM which was already on the GNex
3. Restart...it gets stuck at the Google logo...remove battery
4. TWRP - Factory reset
5. reboot...
