Hi,
I have GNex for about 2 months now so I decided to root it. I did it ok and everything worked fine. But than
I decided to install custom kernel so I did it. Well after that I cant boot my Nexus, its stuck at its first boot animation
with white Google in a middle and little lock in a bottom. Only thing I can do is go to bootloader and acces recovery mod.
I tried to do pretty much everything in a recovery menu but its still not booting.
What can I do to restore stock rom with stock kernel or I dont know what can helps here. Pleas I will be realy greatful I am
a little bit noob to this
Reflash your ROM if you have any on your SD card. Also you can use a toolkit and flash the factory image.

My internal storage is empty, no ROMs or any factory images on it.
toolkit is a good idea but I dont have turned on USB debugging, isnt that problem?
But I will try
I don't think it matters if you are flashing the stock image. You can also Odin in a worst case scenario thing.

I understand the hatred for toolkits because it causes complacency but its extremely easy to fix a device using it. Everyone should know how to use adb but I have used both and they both have worked perfectly for me.

im sorry, but if you think typing a few commands in to flash the stock images is hard, you really are lazy.
I never said it was hard. What is your major grief with toolkits? How is using a toolkit any different than flashing someone else's ROM? You can compile it yourself but its much more efficient to just flash and go. This will be my last response unless the OP has any more issues he needs help with. Good luck with fixing your phone no matter what method you would like to use.

because when the toolkit fails, it fails hard and then the user of said toolkit has no idea how to fix anything and posts threads on here saying "i bricked my phone and used such and such toolkit"
the people helping them have no idea where to even begin to try and troubleshoot the problem as you dont know the failure point. the toolkit just says "complete" or "done"
that is my major beef with toolkits.

Please ignore my ignorant noobness. I'm coming from an iPhone 4 where things were simplified for me in small bits...lol. Ive always had a jailbroken phone because stock iPhones were no help to me. But I moved on to the ATT Galaxy Note 2 and now have a need to root it. However, I'm lost about how to do it. I looked up guides and many point to the Youtube xda video for all variants. However, many ATT users have found it did not help them. I looked myself and could not find the option for my variant of phone (ATT). So I searched the forums and I found some things, but I'm just not knowledgeable yet on how to decipher what is being discussed and terminology yet. If you ask me about iPhone I can answer those terms and questions easily. Rooting is another world for me at the moment. Please dont discount me as someone who should stay away because if that were the case, none of this would have developed with that mindset. I'm still learning and I'm just not there yet.
So, Where should I begin to root my ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 2 i317UCALJ2 (JRO03C.I317UCALJ2).

yea, currently reading that forum
So I've finished without any hickups
I have a few questions though now. I've heard I need to backup my phone now before continuing. I've downloaded titanium backup and told it to do a batch backup of my system files and apps, however, I'm not sure this is the backup everyone is suggesting. Some people have mentioned using TWRP. I'm not sure if I need that or what. I'm also noticing this:
"For CWM Recovery (cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5) Flash using Odin once again with pda only nothing else ticked!"
What is that for? And do I need to do that. I want to have a safe rooting experience so I'm sorry if I sound too cautious.
Yes its a custom recovery... I use cwm. U can use twrp ..flash in odin under pda make sur repartition is not cheaked...boot into recovery by pressing vol up home button then power hold till samsung screen shows release. ..then back up

So I used TWRP(I think) and via instructions downloaded Goo Manager. Then did menu> Install OpenRecoveryScript. Ran that, downloaded (something), and was successful. Now I'm lost as to what to do. I don't see TWRP, and Ive been reading and it doesn't appear anyone has a step by step process after the steps I took above. Any ideas?
UPDATE. Nvm, I figured it out...lol. man I feel slow at this

I was trying to root the phone using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.6.1. After unlocking the phone, I clicked on root (checked custom recovery). It rebooted couple of times. Waited for more than an hour. now the phone is stuck on the google logo and unlock screen. How should i go about this? Did i brick my phone? Please help.
Reflash stock image via odin and reinstall drivers then try again.there are bunch tutorials how to reflash via odin,search for it.

I will not recommend odin unless fastboot is not working. Odin is a leaked samsung tool, I would not use it unless i really have to. Fastboot however is a google recommended tool to flash a stock image for nexus devices.

A great tool? yeah right. A tool the community knows nothing about, at a more specific and technical level; If you were talking about heimdall (which is open source), maybe I would agree a little bit more with you.
- f up your phone, then go tell them you used Odin so they will laugh straight to your face
- if you were supposed to use Odin, don't you think Google would supply the factory images on a Odin format? lol
- Download mode is rather primitive
- Plain simple tool? LOL! Seriously, no tool can get more simple than fastboot, you're kidding yourself.
- Odin only works on Windows.

There is something wrong with what you are doing, because thousands of people have used these guides. Why don't you start by telling us what, exactly, isn't working.
Odin won't work. It won't go past and say the pass. Whats wrong.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Make sure you are in download mode
Make sure you have the usb drivers installed
Make sure you have any anti virus and anything that might block program access to usb disabled.
Run Odin as administrator (just a guess here I have never heard of this being a problem)
Take it slow read over the guides again. If you can't use Odin you will have trouble rooting.
Personally I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33460832
Cf auto root is incredibly easy method but still requires Odin.
We need much more information to help you.
I did all that. I'm not a noob. Just saying. Please help. Is there an alternate way without odin?

No. Only with nandroid juggling.
Ok so here is whats going on. There is this guy that goes to church with me that wants me to root his phone and his wifes phone so they can both use the WiFi Tether app. I tried to root them both on another computer because i did not have my laptop with me and i used this guide -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726088
After i got done with Odin and the phone rebooted, i powered it down and went into CWM Recovery and the stock recovery showed up with the android man and the red triangle. No CWM whatsoever. i tried to root his wife's phone and the same thing happened and i did both of them on my laptop this time. But when i go into download mode on both of the phones it says their custom binary count is 2 and that the phone is rooted. Root Checker Basic says otherwise. They said they got these phones in December at the exact same time i got mine and i rooted mine fine with the instructions i followed in that link. does anyone know what could be the problem? i followed all the instruction carefully as well. Like i said, i got my phone at the same exact time as they did and i rooted mine no problem with the guide i used on here. Thank you for your help
Have you tried skips toolbox, pretty simple to use. Pretty much flashes what you ask it too.

After flashing the recovery in Odin are you pulling the battery while the phone is still in download mode, then booting into recovery? The S3 detests custom recoveries and you can't let it boot into its os after flashing the custom recovery or it won't stick. Also make sure both boxes in Odin are unchecked so the phone doesn't auto reboot after flashing.
Edit: I read that method you posted just now and it is very out dated, the newer s3 updates made it so the custom recoveries do not stick and the phone defaults to stock recovery, unless the battery is pulled while the phone is still in download mode, and then booted into recovery. Make sure auto reboot and f. reset time are UNCHECKED
Also, might I suggest this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011491. You don't need to use TWRP you can still flash your cwm recovery
Make sure your friends' phones are on Sprint as well

Ok thanks you. I have heard of the toolkit but I never used it because I don't want to soft/hard brick his phone especially since its not mine and I have read about people bricking their phones that way but that probably because they didn't follow any if the instructions or the did something stupid. I will give it a try but before I do that I will do what you told me to do and uncheck f. Reset and auto boot and see if that works. Thanks a lot man and I will get back to you and tell you if it worked or not

Yeah your mistake was allowing the phone to reboot after the odin flash. Make sure you remove the check mark from the reboot option in odin.

Yes. In step 12 on the post you linked, the "power down" needs to be done by pulling the battery. The thread you posted is good, but I prefer the method in this post, as it both explains what's going on and it the formatting is more clear.
Hope you get it rooted for your friend!
Thanks for the tip
...about pulling the battery out and not letting Odin reboot for you. I found that *after* I already did it and now my wifi won't turn on.

Alright thanks everyone for your help! i will tell you if it works. i just unrooted my phone and returned to stock and im going to use the other guide you guys told me to use on my phone first just to make sure nothing bad happens like a hard brick. I would rather brick my phone than someone elses phone any day:fingers-crossed:
will any of these guides root 4.1.2? thats what is keeping their phone from rooting i just found out because i just got my replacement SIII from Sprint and it has android 4.1.1 and i rooted it fine with the guide i used on theirs so it has to be the 4.1.2 update

You have to pull the battery excuse you need the phone to shut off so that you can boot into recovery.
