How long is it now booting? And what have you done, explain with details please. Can you enter fast boot?

Bricked means it doesn't power on. Don't use the term so loosely.
Boot into recovery and flash something.
Boot into fast boot and reflash the stock ROM
Boot into recovery and factory reset.
Read the stickies and help posts that are all around you.
See? Lots of options to try before posting on here.

thanks for the fast responses, sorry for the short-ness...
Im able to get into Recovery Mode and thats pretty much it.
/// how the problem occurred, I formatted my SDcard and System. idk why i got click happy. I have NO files on the phone. and my computer wont recognize my phone. There is NO ROM on it, I didnt save a backup/restore
As of now, im download the SDK DEV kit and trying "ADB Push"
Im also on a Mac for what its worth
thanks

You're better off using fastboot to flash CWM back to the phone OR use fastboot to flash the factory image to at least get it working again and then you can start again

you formatted system. there is no OS on the phone as to why its stuck on the google screen. your phone is in no way bricked.
you should be able to boot into cwm/twrp and use adb to push files to /data/media/
OR
fastboot back to stock.

Fastboot back to stock.

again thanks for all the speedy responses maybe im using adb wrong, but i need to be in recovery mode correct...
Code:
Christopher-Kerrs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads christopherkerr$ adb devices
List of devices attached

Code:
Christopher-Kerrs-MacBook-Pro:Downloads christopherkerr$ adb push cm-10.1-20130121-NIGHTLY-toro.zip
when I try ADB Push nothing happens, im guessing im missing something

you're not telling it where to push the file to.
adb push pathoffile\filename /sdcard/

you dont have a sdcard so...
use /data/media/ then... same folder.

Any way to save data on a Nexus in a bootloop?

I have a Galaxy Nexus that after updating is stuck in a boot loop just recycling the Google logo. There is no ADB access as a result.
Is there anyway I can save my photos? Thanks!
You should be able to do is using fastboot to get into CWM - you can then mount the sd card and copy off your data
Like Eddy said. Via fastboot, boot up CWM, either you have it flashed or not.
From CWM, you can access the phone via adb over USB.
In a "adb shell", you can .tar.gz up the stuff you like (or your entire /sdcard). Afterwards you can "adb pull" that off the phone.
Requires quite a bit off commandline, but it's not hard, just cumbersome. If your data is important enough, it's definitely worth it.

You can't mount /sdcard on a Galaxy Nexus.
Like josteink said, boot up CWM, open a command prompt on your computer and type: adb pull /sdcard or adb pull /data/media
That's it. This will pull all your data stored in /sdcard (although I believe it will not keep the directory structure in place). As well, keep in mind that file transfers over adb are very slow, so it may take a while if you have a lot of data...
It's not had CWM Installed. I assume that the process of unlocking the bootloader to install CWM would wipe the phone so that wont work?
Is that correct or am I mistaken?

Correct. If your bootloader is locked, you're out of luck. Unlocking wipes everything.

Once you boot up CWM, you have adb access to the files on your device. Not sure what "mount" you are talking about, but I have never had to do anything to get files off/on the /sdcard directory other than boot up CWM or my ROM.

You are not mistaken. In that case, try booting to the stock recovery and use the adb pull command.

Boot loop
If you are having difficulty with boot loop, pull the battery. I had the same issue with my N1 didn't wipe dalvik cache after an update. And because of the loop couldn't get the timing for fastboot as the bootloop was not giving an indication of when the keypresses would activate the bootloader.
If you are unrooted and stock then try this:
Put device into the bootloader by holding down Vol Up + Vol Down + Power
use your volume buttons to change options next select (with power button) the fastboot option, after use the ADB instructions from the more knowledgeable members (ADB is somewhat cumbersome.... but it works and has saved my bacon) After wards using the Bootloader you should be able to resore to factory settings and reload your info after.
If you are Rooted with a custom bootloader and rom
same as above to get to bootloader, but then wipe your cache, and dalvik cache. Reflash latest ROM and Gapps. You shouldnt lose anything.
Good luck bud.... your Nexus isn't dead.... only in a Coma.... or a political promise...

Have you tried and gotten that to work in recovery? Although I haven't tried it, I don't think that works in recovery. It is a feature of ICS, so I'm pretty sure you need to be booted into your ROM for it to work.

Hey, I'm running to a similar problem with this guy.
I stupidly reformated my system files without having a rom on my internal sd.
The question is that I'm reading that I can use the adb to push files in but I'm just new to the whole adb.
How would I get my computer to use the adb?
Sorry for such a noob question -_-;
Edit: So it seems from looking around and reading other forums and faq's that I need to have the phone for the adb to be installed.
Is there away around that so that I can access the adb?
Edit2: Nevermind. Fixed it with a toolkit. Sorry to spam

no, I didn't do a backup stupid mistake on my part i know...
If its recognized by the computer, then you're fine.
Download ADB and Fastboot (I've attached the .zip to this post). Unzip it to your home folder, and drop whatever files you need to transfer to your phone in that folder.
Open terminal and direct it to the path of your ADB file (aka, type "cd " and drag the folder into Terminal).
Type:
Code:
./adb devices
and hit return. If you get "devices attached xyzxyzxyzyxz" you're good.
Type:
Code:
./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/
and hit return. If it's a full ROM, it'll take a while, you don't get progress or any notification until its finished transferring.
Then load up your CWM and wipe your data etc etc then flash the ROM.

Read my post. It's "./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/ " . Just go into your recovery and do the ADB command to push the file. Let it xfer then you're good to go.
Mount /data in mounts and storage
then preform this
Code:
adb push name-of-ROM.zip /data/media
I would have said sdcard but sometimes that doesnt work.. at least the last time i've tried it didnt work correctly and wouldnt bring up my "sdcard" at all and had to reboot the recovery and it wasnt there. I know for sure this method works.
OH oops.. Boot into recovery and go into mounts and storage and mount /data sorry..

It'll be visible in CWM when you go select a zip. Just the same as you did the last one. All ADB push does is put it on your phone so you can flash it normally. Exact same as if you moved it via Android File Transfer or download.

I tried this and it said "insufficient permissions for device" in ADB. My phone randomly rebooted and gets stuck on the boot logo, but everything on my sdcard got deleted. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus if that helps
If it's only the kernel causing problems, the easiest would be to run "fastboot flash boot <name of boot.img here>" from fastboot?(the original boot.img from the rom he's using would be found inside the zip file)
But if you screwed something else up in the process, you may need to flash the entire rom again from the recovery. If you are using cwm recovery, I believe it allows you to mount storage, so you can just move the rom file from the computer, and if you are using twrp, they have an option to sideload(under advanced), where you can connect you phone to your pc and run "adb sideload <name of rom.zip file here>" and it will install it right away.

this will not work, not with cwm nor with twrp, at this point; likely, it will never work as we don't have removable storage.
Then just use the sideload, it works quite well for me.

Or just 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard/', or if that doesn't work, 'adb push rom.zip /data/media'.

adb works fine with TWRP if you have updated adb drivers/adb daemon.
guess fastboot flashing images also eludes you.
so no, you're not in the grave.
*note* thanks for necroing a thread from December.
No, in bootloader its fine.
And apparently (if It wasn't a fluke) I think i booted normally , and having no rom it just stood there, and adb worked.
that saved me
TWRP dissapoints . have to look for replacement
stuck in recovery
so Im stuck in a similar situation
before installing a ROM which instructed to wipe the device, i did so, in fact i over did it.. wiped data/cache/davlik/system and internal storage
the same storage which had the ROM that i was supposed to install after wiping it.
I felt very dumb, but now stuck with the bootloader / fastboot / and TWRP recovery .. the TWRP recovery version i have HAS the adb sideload feature
which i've tried to install the Cyanogen ROM using ./adb sideload filename.zip , which hasnt work for Cyanogen but worked for the GApps after that ( I thought that was kinda weird).
the sideload command goes thru the sending of the entire ROM to the phone, but it never installs correctly..
NOW im stuck
any suggestions or help on how i can do it with what appears to me to be as fastboot / adb side load / and recovery options"??
thank you very much in advance

[Soft Brick] No OS Installed

Hi everyone, i have medium to advanced experience with flashing tools, android drivers, adb, fastboot, recovery mode and so on.
This evening once i installed the OTA Update for my Galaxy Nexus (which was running Android 4.2) the process failed at the end (as usual -.-) and i got stuck at bootloader.
I've wiped it completely ending up with no OS installed on it, nothing on SDCARD (Internal storage in this case).
The problem is that, i have no drivers installed on my PC for this phone.
I've already downloaded the latest version of Android 4.2 to flash (.zip), but there's no way i can transfer the file to the phone without the drivers.
I already tried GNex toolkit but it's stuck on "waiting adb device" (i have no fastboot drivers installed and can't install them because i can't find a easy way to do so).
NexusRootToolkit fails on pushing the zip to the phone and flash also won't work.
Any idea of what can i do now?
I may even pay on paypal for a quick help to get my phone back on working
Get into the bootloader and use fastboot, or if you have a custom recovery installed (sounds like you don't) then you can adb push from there. ADB doesn't exist in the bootloader, only fastboot. Those are your options.

Actually i do have a custom recovery which is CMW, but i can't seem to get my internal storage mounted using i'ts options.
I will try to push the .zip using the ADB on the recovery mode.
After checking the logs i can now see :
Enable to mount /usb-otg
(Using NexusRootToolkit i just flashed TWRP as recovery mode)
Solved : adb push <romname.zip> /sdcard/<romname.zip>
After the push was completed, i flashed the new .zip using TWRP in recovery mode.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Same thing has happened to me and I'm freaking out.

If you have the experience you say you have why do you use a Toolkit? Just learning for myself.
Look for efrant posts, they are the best and most comprehensive even for medium-advanced experience.

Just in case (you never know in life) do you have android-sdk installed on your pc?

You are mistaken, root doesn't stop a system update. I can vouch for that myself, even though i know that it doesnt matter just from reading some people's posts around here.
You weren't exactly explicit on your first post, so I presume you didnt/dont have the correct baseband version for that specific OTA to apply. Very common.
Oh and if you've never been able to OTA update successfully, it's not "usual" for the rest of us. You should work towards becoming more verbose and objective when troubleshooting. That will make you more experienced.

Try installing the ADB Drivers manually in order for your PC to recognize it.
Have you tried putting it other modes such as Download Mode and check if your pc installs any driver?
You will have to ADB PUSH the OS image to your internal memory and use CW to flash the rom from the sdcard, but you will need the drivers installed or adb wont be able to see your phone

Use "adb sideload c:\users\edgar\downloads\abc.zip". "adb push" is for transferring files from PC to phone, not flashing.

adb sideload does both transferring and flashing within a single command. The "sideloaded" ZIP gets saved as "sideload.zip" under the root of the storage.

nope that didnt work either but i found a work around. i had never played with CWM's sideload feature. FOR FUTURE GOOGLE GOERS
NOTE: you need CWM 6.0.1.5 and above i think
reboot into recovery
select install from sideload
make sure drivers are installed (i used the universal android drivers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942)
open up adb in cmd (hopefully you have adb in your com)
and type "adb sideload <filename.zip>" without quotes or the little arrows
and you should see it start copying
I would like CWM and TWRP for using this in their recovery!!!!!

make sure drivers are installed (i used the universal android drivers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942)
open up adb in cmd (hopefully you have adb in your com)
and type "adb sideload <filename.zip>" without quotes or the little arrows
and you should see it start copying
I would like CWM and TWRP for using this in their recovery!!!!!

I tried to use your sideload command but it didn't work. It said "ERROR: CLOSED"
i'm really anxious and worried if i can get the phone to work at all:crying:. any help will be greatly appreciated!
Download Wugfresh Galaxy Nexus Tool. You can't possibly have a bricked phone after using that tool

Thank you. I tried doing that but it wasn't any help. however, i figured how to sideload using the TWRP setting. It took a little trial and error but finally got it to work.
i don't see how can you guys not get it to work through normal adb, other than you're using Windows, but glad you got it to work.
Glad to hear you are up and running again. Sorry i just always had great luck with his toolkit. Adb was always failsafe too.

Just a note you were probably getting an error because you didn't Mount the sdcard in recovery before trying to push to it.

I did a full wipe of the phone and SD card and was unable to see my phone in adb while in CWM recovery.
I run the push command any way and it did push to the file to the phone.
I push the file to /data/media/ no need to mount SDcard as it doesn't have a real one, in the past (while using ics) I have had to mount data to push files to /sdcard/
