A quick search with Google would have told you otherwise... We really can't help you here, as the phones are nothing alike.

will you accept me deepest apologies ?

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

Help help help ...

Ok so I will try to explain with all the details as I can and thanks for your help
I was rooted with S-off and everything was fine. Was testing some ROM recently when my phone yesterday morning started rebooting on its own. I tried to unplug the battery and go into recovery but it kept rebooting. When i say rebooting it means it went to white screen with htc logo then few seconds with black screen then back to white screen and so on. I tried everything with no avail. Tried RUU from sprint but that did nothing and same problem (only updated my hboot from .93 to 2.02) and when I tried another one the first RUU from sprint available it makes my phone vibrate 5 times and then green light flashing with black screen.
I cannot get into recovery at all. Cannot get ADB to connect and I get fastboot remote not allowed if i tried to erase recovery. Tried to flash recovery several times with no help using Hboot and PC36IMG.zip. Please help me if you can and thanks in advance.

someone would have helped him by now if it was in the qa section, now he's either going to get some bad advice or everyone will just ignore his question
Most likely, this will get moved to Q&A anyhow, and btw, I come to the Dev section last and I DO follow the speed limit (+ about 1% over) and use my blinkers at every turn....

I learned a new word.... lol. But ur absolutely right. People seem more interested in chewing you out than offering a helping hand. Even if the thread is in the wrong place.

An answer to a major problem we have

Okay so a lot of people have been flashing ROMS that are not for the Sprint galaxy s2 epic touch 4g( for example the European Galaxy s2 version of ICS) and end up getting a bricked phone that cant be read by the pc or odin. First of all READ B4 Flashing!!. secondly read the forum rules. Search before posting a new thread that someone already asked and lastly I am currently trying to find a way to fix this problem since my friend did the same thing and i have his phone at the moment. i will post an update if i find a solution unless someone beats me to it. Here is an example of what not to flash.
(do not flash u will have a fail EPIC)

Thats all i have to say.
install the drivers for the international version and then odin should be able to read your phone

Tough luck man. I really hope you get this issue sorted.
But so that people who might see this thread get the whole picture... you actually flashed a Nexus 7 Kernel on your Galaxy Nexus.
Timur's Nexus 7 kernel is helping a lot of people do things with their N7 that wouldn't be possible otherwise. It's an excelent piece of coding being developed down at Rootzwiki. I'm not leaving any links. If you'd like you can google it... you'll easily find his blog and the main thread.
Cheers :good:

You installed a kernel, made for Nexus 7 on stock JB 4.2.x, over your CM 10.1 install on a Gnex Phone.
But not just that. You have now also generated a high Google score with my name in it and "dead phone". Thank you very much!
You should have all technology banned from your fingers.

Ten days ago, on Jan. 29th, I asked XDA to delete this silly thread. So it will, eventually, drop out of the search engines. But it's still here.
If you think XDA should *not* be used for baseless, stupid defamation, then do me a little favor and click the report button on the OP. Just say abuse. It doesn't take much time. Thank you.

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...

Problem solved, thanks Shellnut2!

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)

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

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.

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.
