Help I hosed my Verizon Nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I tried to install Paranoid Android and GAPPS. It get force closing on setup so I booted back into recovery to try to fix it and now there is no OS. I can boot into Recovery and Fastboot only

so you wiped system in recovery?
why dont you provide us with EVERYTHING you did to cause this?
did you do a factory reset before installing PA? that would have prevented the force closes.
if all you can do is boot into recovery, then just do a factory reset and reflash your rom...its pretty simple

I had a similar issue and it was caused by not using the correct gapps package. Correct gapps for PA 4.2 http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130209.zip
I put it on a flashdrive and used an OTG cable to connect, then used "external SD" in TWRP.

I forgot which app I used to download the new image and GAPPS. I figured ig GAPPS was the issue i could wipe, so from Team Win Recovery Console I did a wipe of Cache, Dalvik Cache. I* *may* have also chosen to wipe System and Format data but I can't remember right now.
So I can boot into the recovery console but nothing else. If I try to boot it sits on the white Google logo until I pull the battery

if you selected wipe DATA, then your SDCARD is gone...you need to adb push your rom zip back to the sdcard and flash it. if you wiped system, then you have no OS installed any more...

boot loop after flashing latest manhatten project rom

Ok have been running foxhound 1.1,tried a couple of other roms,kernels,etc and no problem. But now all of a sudden tried to flash manhatten and endless boot loop. I have tried to wipe from cwm several times but no luck. I dont want to lose my pictures from virtual sdcard. I have no access to adb but cwm and fastboot of course. I'm using linux so is there any way to use fastboot to erase everything but keep virtual sdcard. If that can you point me to instructions on how to from fastboot. I have the GSM version
Did you even bother installing another ROM prior to freaking out?
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Format System
install ROM from sd card (please don't tell me you only kept one ROM on there)
your phone should now boot

You keep saying that you wiped but you're being vague.
Can you specify if you have WIPED DATA, CACHE, DALVIK, FORMATTED SYSTEM, and FORMATTED CAHCHE? If you have not, do that and THEN re-flash Foxhound
This does NOT wipe your internal SD card.
9 out of 10 times its human error when bootloop shows up..... go to the thread of the rom you flashing maybe you missed a important step

I have formatted everything but davik cache but when I do that I get" E:unknown volume for path /sd-ext Dalvik Cache Wiped " then reflash foxhound and now I am back to the boot loop all I get is Google with unlock symbol at the bottom and it just loops. There has to be a way to get info off my virtual sdcard..I dont care how hard it is

I didn't use the gapps but the rom should still boot without that gapp version. Also shouldn't I be able to flash another rom without having this issue??? All I did was flash from clockworkmod. maybe the zip file I downloaded got corrupted but I am unable to fix the problem. I had installed the manhatten rom yesterday but went back to foxhound because lack of performance/undervolting settings that apperently are on the rom. just want it to work again..I'm unable to use adb becasue it wont boot. all I have is fastboot and cwm recovery
That error is normal as we don't have an "sd-ext" .
Are you wiping in the correct order? You're wiping all of that first, and then installing ROM correct?
Do you have a back up?

If you have ADB installed, or can get to a computer with it.
You can pull your files from the SD card as our fake SD card is actually /DATA/MEDIA

how do I get adb to work if the phone will not boot into android???in fastboot mode if I type adb devices it lists nothing?? if I try adb in cwm recovery I get a bunch of questionmarks followed by no permissions....this is in linux. I can use windows if the toolkit can use adb while in clockworkmod recovery. I'll need detailed instructions becasue I have wiped in every order imaginable and nothing but boot loop???
"adb devices" will return nothing in fastboot.
The correct command is "fastboot devices"

yes I know and I have no problem using what little I know of fastboot commands but is there a way to use fastboot to copy my virtual sdcard to my pc?????
Be sure to "mount data" in Recovery
adb shell
type su for superuser.
then ls to list the dirs
and cd to change
You might have to pull files one by one. I'm not sure if there's a way to pull the entire contents of it.

so how do I mount or do I just use the toolkit because it seems to tell me in bright green letters that I must be in android to use adb?? I guess that is a limitation of the toolkit. I'll try installing the android sdk to windows and see how that works. I will let you know how it goes thank you. Also do you have a link on how to restore it to a stock rom but not have to go through the whole rooting and unlocking process??? Thank you again for your help so far!!
Actually, do this.
Once you have the drivers installed for Windows, and your phone is being recognized "adb devices"
Run
adb pull /data/media/DCIM C:Urname\example\blah
Replace the C:Urname\example\blah with an actual directory of the Windows PC
It might take some time but that should drag your pictures and stuff.
Here's the link with instructions to return to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

Hit, Install SDK on the toolkit. It will do it very quick and easy for you.
Since the SD Card on our Nexus is actually /data/media, like I said earlier, just mount data.
Gnex toolkit is a great tool. I'm wondering why I have permission issues with adb in cwm recovery in Linux. not complaining but I wish there was a kit like that for us linux users
any body know why in cwm recovery if run ./adb device in linux you get
devices listed
?????????? no permissions
any linux users out there? I'm saving my files thanks to a windows program gnex tookkit by mskip.
Special thanks to Samsuck for all his help and the rest of the forum

[Q] [VERY STRANGE] Wipe data doesn't work anymore!

Hi everybody,
I'm getting into the new AOKP Milestone 4 from the Codename 1.5.0 - so I downloaded the files and get recovery (clockwork 5.5.0.2) to make the wipes and flash the new rom and gapps... the usual routine.
Wipe data - Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik - Flash AOKP - FLASH GAPPS - REBOOT
1st strange thing after that: the Old Franco Kernel bootlogo. And in stuck, obv.
Why the Franco bootlogo? Bah, re-wipe everything and go on...
Nothing, stuck on Franco. So I decided to re.wipe everything again and re install the Codename android, 1.5.0 - the same wich i was coming from - to get the phone work for tomorrow. And here we go for the biggest surprise.
EVERYTHING IS HOW I LEFT BEFORE THE WIPES WHEN I WAS ON CODENAME!!!!!
Same routine, flashed Codename and reboot. Franco logo and then no configuration wizard, no backups.. everything was EXACTLY like how i left before the first attempt!!! My apps, my homescreen, even my login account, like i have never attempt any wipe or flash!!!!
IT DOESN'T WIPE ANYTHING, ANYMORE!
I'm getting mad.. tried this ten times. It's like nothing is getting wiped!
P.s: clockwork is correctly installed.. i've tried TONS of roms on my gnexus, everything has ALWAYS worked fine. No errors during wiping, usuals script "wiping /data .... wiping /cache etc.." until "DONE". No error flashing the AOKP.
Help please..

Hey there,
mike, the dev from Android Revolution HD, has a super wipe script in his thread, on the first page, might want to try that one.
It works like flashing a ROM
-Syn
You are not wiping correctly. You are having problems because the system and boot partitions were not wiped at all....

Already tried. Same results, it ends successfully the superwipe string.. and then no wipe at all!
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -w (might wipe SD card)
or
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot update update.zip (for installing the rom)
Ok new infos.
From the log file the /data wipe seems to be undone due to the "filesystem is read only".
Any ideas?
Stupid question... but maybe check if the device is still rooted and unlocked correctly?
Maybe something messed up there...
these are signs that the internal hdd is getting screwed up... like the partition values... its a known issue for all samsung devices. the i9000 had it, the nexus s had it. they even have a lot of threads out there reporting issues abt it but no fix till now. i even had it with my nexus s (which is now a paperweight)
some fixed it with a simple wipe using oem lock n unlock, others fastboot wipe....
the most common symptom is that you can see a lot of files on your phone, but can neither delete them nor add anyting to the sdcard.
As anton2009 said, you should try wiping all the partitions, then reflash CWM, then flash your ROM/kernel.
Reboot into fastboot and type the following:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata Note this will wipe/sdcard
fastboot erase cache
Then flash CWM and then ROM/kernel.

Guys, all of your data is stored on the userdata partition. Most ROMs I don't think flash that partition, so all the data still remains. As well, I don't think every ROM includes a kernel, so the boot partition is not erase either. Wiping in CWM does not wipe /sdcard (which is actually located on the userdata partition as /data/media).
Use what I had posted 2 posts up and it will certainly wipe.

I also think your solution will work well.
My only question is about new rom flashing: erasing ALL datas even in the /sdcard how will I be able to flash new roms if there will be nothing more on the phone? Where will i get'em?
Will I need to flash again even the CWM?
Sorry for the stupid question..

You can still wipe userdata, boot into Android (obviously you can't do this if you wipe system), and download a rom from there. Otherwise you can download a rom onto your computer and then:
adb push /where/your/file/is/rom.zip /data/media/download
This will put the file from your computer to your download folder in your SD card. I'd recommend pulling any necessary files before you wipe userdata (such as music, pictures, etc) or you can pull the whole SD card (adb pull /data/media) and then cherry pick what you want to add back later.
SOLVED.
Wiped all with fastboot, pushed new rom with adb push and flash it.
Just to feel relaxed installed a couple of apps, gone back in recovery and tried to wipe data/cache/dalvick then re-flashed AOKP, everything is now working fine, the wipe erase all app and userdata now.
Hope this won't happen anymore.. thank you all..

I feel sooooo newbie, but.. how can I do that?
Backing up and restoring /sdcard is very time-consuming and usually unnecessary in these situations. It only takes a minute to fix the filesystem errors on /data and then you can wipe data as normal (in CWM, no need to use fastboot which also erases /sdcard). Just boot into CWM and in an adb shell:
Code:
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Answer 'y' to everything if prompted. Done.

Everytime I turn on my Kindle It boots into recovery.

Just out of the blue my Kindle just boots into recovery every time. I use TWRP and I've tried restoring multiple backups, I've tried wiping everything. Even factory reset won't do anything. I've also tried reflashing the ROM I have on it (CM9).
Any suggestions?

Generally that can be cause by two main things a broken system or altered bootmode. Which twrp are you using, how and what order are you wiping, after you flash a rom what are you selecting as a reboot option, system, recovery or bootloader and lastly what rom are you flashing? Another reason other than the two main ones is some kind of mounting problem.

Alright, try to pay attention...
If you installed FireFireFire1.4 (blue & white Kindle Fire logo) as you were instructed to previously, you can use the boot menu to reset your bootmode to normal (more information can be found in the FFF1.4 thread btw). Just hold the power button at startup until the boot menu appears, and select "reset boot mode".
Otherwise, you need to use either adb or fastboot to manually change your bootmode to 4000.

[Solved] Several roms stuck at boot ani

Solution: In my research, I found people were having problems with TWRP format and were told to enable the option "Use rm -rf" instead of format. This was preventing /data from being formatted properly and it was not mounting properly during boot so I kept getting stuck at the boot animation on any rom. Now I'm successfully using TWRP v2.3.3.1 with default options.
Original Post:
Yesterday I rooted my KF with stock 6.3.1 using KFU 0.9.6. It seemed to go well and I now have FFF v1.4a and TWRP v2.2.2.1.
I have used TWRP to install a handful of roms and every one of them gets stuck at the boot logo. I have enabled the option in TWRP to "use rm -rf". Each time I have installed a rom I have done the following
Wipe>Factory Reset
Wipe>System
Install Rom.zip
Install GApps
Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
I have tried the following roms (plus a couple others):
[ROM] [JB 4.2.1] CM10.1/SGT7 for the Kindle Fire
[ROM-AOSP] [NEW] Stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1_r1 for the Kindle Fire [12-18 DEEP SLEEP FIX]
[ROM/KERNEL] UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 + 3.x Kernel for Kindle Fire [12/16 SLEEP-FIX]
[ROM][AOSP][10/10/2012] Jelly Bean Tablet Edition aka Project Jandycane
Attached are some logcat logs. cm-10.1-20121216-UNOFFICIAL-otter printed nothing to logcat. Jandycane didn't install since if failed the checksum check.
At the blue Kindle Fire logo, hold the power button to pull up the boot options and select "reset boot mode".

Sorry if I said it wrong. I'm stuck at the boot animation. I'll try this when I get home.
Make sure you have no checks in the boxes of system and data under twrps mount option if so uncheck them then select reboot system. As well might I suggest a better wipe order: factory reset, cache, dalvik, system, flash ROM zip, flash proper OS specific gapps zip then select reboot system.

Well, that's a different story.
Two things usually cause this...not wiping the necessary partitions or using the wrong recovery (CWM, TWRP 2.3)
I would double check to make sure the examples listed above are not an issue. Otherwise, pull your recovery.log while booted into recovery to see what's going on.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Those boxes were not checked. I actually thought of this before, but I just double checked. Wipe order didn't seem to make any difference.

I would double check to make sure the examples listed above are not an issue. Otherwise, pull your recovery.log while booted into recovery to see what's going on.

Edit: Recovery.log attached.
Edit2: Also, I forgot to mention that before I flashed anything, I backed up the stock /system. I have successfully restored this and booted back to the stock UI. It is only custom roms that get stuck.

Those boxes were not checked. I actually thought of this before, but I just double checked. Wipe order didn't seem to make any difference.

Get on recovery, download the latest twrp, flash it, reboot to recovery, delete system, cache, dalvik, and Factory reset. Then install the ROM ad you are good to go.

I'm getting the same result. I looked at my logcat and it looks like /data isn't being mounted during boot.
Yeah you will need to use soupkit to fix your data mounting issue. First try resetting twrp defaults use format instead of rm -rf .

That did it
I just had to uncheck the "use rm -rf" option, do factory reset, wipe system, then install the rom. Thx much guys

Accidently UNINSTALLED OS - Will pay for HELP.

I completely messed up my Nexus when I was installing something and forgot to back it up. I made some more mistakes and now I don't have an OS. I've been searching for the past 4 hours on how to fix this and literally nothing is working for me.
If someone can help me get my device back up I WILL pay. I'm a total newbie with android... Let me know if you can help.
Describe what you did in detail up to this point.

First mistake was attempting to install an Audio driver on my nexus. I got stuck on the loading screen so I was told to wipe my storage. Wiped everything! I have no clue what i'm supposed to do now...
I tried to system restore and reformat but the result is the same; When I reboot the device, I get stuck on the Google screen. On my PC, my device manager shows the device as Android Bootloader Interface.

Did you install through recovery? Which recovery? Which loading screen?

I installed it through TWRP. The loading screen I get is the default Google screen with the small lock button on the bottom.

If you selected the format option in TWRP it would have deleted your userdata and internal partition leaving your system intact; unless you also selected to wipe the system in Advanced Wipe options.

They probably meant to wipe just the cache and dalvik cache - not your system, userdata and internal.
I still have access to TWRP and bootloader. I'm trying to access fastboot so I can just flash a new ROM and everything should be back to normal but nothing is working for me. Teamviewer would help alot; if someone could come walk me through everything. I will pay, without a doubt, if I get it fixed.
If you still have your recovery and ADB setup on your computer then you can ADB push or ADB Sideload a ROM.

Could you possibly get on teamviewer and walk me through this? I've been doing this for the last 4-5 hours and nothing is going my way... I'm honestly desperate to get this working again.
Something is wrong with my ADB Sideload; it keeps saying the device can't be found. I don't know what the problem is...

I can try. PM me your Teamviewer ID and Pass.
I can't PM you; says you aren't accepting PMs at this time...
I'm in the same boat. I had a backup I was going to restore (after flashing a zip that gave me a bootloop), I formatted everything, lost my backups, have no OS and I keep getting device not found. Le Sigh.
Update: I used PDAnet, *reinstalled drivers*, currently flashing a rom. Thanks for all the help.
Can't you guys just go into fastboot mode and flash the stock images? And make sure the drivers are installled properly.

Use the One Click Restore ^
I had done the exact same thing, wiping my OS out b4 copying a ROM onto the internal storage, but for different reasons, but the above link saved me.
This should help too:

It should help you get out of almost any soft brick if I'm not mistaken.
