Is that really necessary? This phone will be in use by many people for some time to come I'm sure. I could understand closing it after someone posted exactly why this isn't possible. This thread pops up after a Google search for this topic. There is nothing else posted that is current.

There are 3 stickies on how to root the GNex that are always up to date, one of which is by the first person to respond to you.

I understand that. Not much in there about doing it without a usb cable now is there? If it's going to turn into a thread for those like you with nothing useful to say then I vote to delete it too.

What does it tell you if an always up to date thread doesn't include something? Because logic would dictate that it probably didn't exist.

Enough said. "Probably" is such a definitive term. Thanks again for your help.

actually, i meant it as a request to someone to delete my post.
but as they said, there's enough information about this situation. and about a dozen threads on this particular situation.
current? it has been like this eversince Google closed up the exploit with JB (rooting) - and unlocking without usb needs root. you could have known this by the following links below:
first HIT on google search.

I have the same problem, I don't want to end up writing useless drivel to get my post count up (like now) just so I can ask a sensible question about a problem I am having installing potatomans camera upgrade.
Is there any other way round it?

No there is no way around it. And if it is a question that needs to be asked. The Q&A forums are the place to ask and you canboost there without the limit. Development is not for asking questions

Because you failed to read the message that appeared on your screen in bold print.
Anyone else just ignore error messages rather than reading them?

You shouldn't be asking a simple question like that in development. Ask in Q&A
I got the same problem!
Just like me, but its the forum rules, so we need stick whit it weather we want to or not.
P.S. My written english may have some bugs, its all about what I meant to say and thats hopefully allways clear.

It takes upto an hour for it to be processed
Why 1 hour? Make it less
because if you're really planning on contributing you wouldn't mind that 1 hour
I had been on these forums reading for days, then I actually needed something done and tried to post... and was rebuffed!

Same here. I've been using this Web site for like a year or more. Had just got a password and screen name, feeling like I had gained enough knowledge to contribute to my favourite ROM thread, typed this long post, put alot of thought into it, hit submit, and got dissed. I'm not mad, just wish I would have known weeks ago.

What if you needed to say something before it was too late? Like "don't flash that, I did and it bricked my phone" or something. Just saying.

I guess PM someone to post it for you? LoL Its the rules so we have to follow them.

Any complications/problems with returning to stock?

Considering un-rooting and re-locking my GSM GN to sell it. I found this guide I am planning on using. Are there any problems anyone has encountered in returning their GN to stock I should be aware of? Thanks.
Gnex was made to unlock, relock, root, etc. I used Wug Toolkit many times without issues. You can find it on the Nexus 7 Android Development.

Allow me to assuage your emotional reactions:
1. I did read that thread. Read a lot of it, actually, and all I saw was a whole lot of "will this void my warranty?" "followed the steps and phone is bricked" "how I get drivers working" posts, often by people with post counts of around 4. There are 1,318 replies to that thread. Figure it out.
2. I searched, and there are no threads specifically discussing problems/complications from returning to stock in the GN board.
A lot of threads on XDA are going to be similar in nature. I felt I had pretty good reason to start a new thread. There's no reason to get upset over it, kids -- settle down.

Help! Phone softbricked!

If anyone can help that would be awesome!
I've installed LGNPST from the IRC (autoinstall) All drivers are up to date as well.
My problem is my phone reboots at 67% (I know it's supposed to hang at 85%) and wont go past the sprint boot image, screen is "on" but black with lit up touch buttons that vibrate every so often... but stays at that.
Thanks in advance for any help
*********EDIT**********
So saw the lock screen flash very quickly and status bar pop up momentarily, gives me hope but still can't get it to flash properly...
*********EDIT**********
Problem solved, thanks Shellnut2!

ALL questions even those involving development or , help (which most are) belong in the Q and A section. Development is for a developer to post something or someone who discovered something that can be useful to development to post

So what happened was after an initial LGNPST where it stripped root from my phone, but left all user data and apps on it, i attempted to re-root to try to remove unwanted apps
I used the AIO tool, and for some reason it didn't push the root files correctly, and really muddled up the firmware.
So after about 15 failed attempts to reflash stock, Shellnut2 on IRC thought it could be a problem with cashes, so he had me walk through Binarys root method, something went right with that cause the second it finished pushing SU my phone rebooted about 3x and was in working order again.
(And im fairly certain that my problem with LGNPST was a sub par usb cable)

Okay sorry, anyway could a mod (if they even exist on this forum) move this to Q&A that would be appreciated.
yes, wrong forum, and I saw you working on it last night. I might post a big guide on everything you can do so far, including this. I will probably put in under general, but it might be enough to be in development

And the non dev section of the LGOG is not non active there is a ton of crap in the other section all answered here were people don't even look i guess.

No apologies necessary but you need to understand that every phone is different and they all have their own methods of doing things.. If you don't want a worthless brick in your hands then you should stick to your own device forums.
Continuing to post here asking for help doesn't do any good

question about Galaxy active 2

I just got this watch and I like it but is there any other customization I can do that Samsung limits us on?
*cough* root? Or something similar?
I am using a rooted OnePlus 7 pro and was wondering if I could replace bixby with the good assistant on the watch?
