Hi everyone
As I said on the subject I have a Samsung Galaxy GIO that doesn't work properly. The phone wasn't booting, so a friend of mine tried to fix him using ODIN (because i don't know how to use it) but he used the Galaxy ACE drivers and the OPS file also so the phone now things that he is an ACE. It says Samsung Galaxy ACE when it boots and the volume UP, the home button, the camera don't work, and a few other stuff don't work also.
So what I came here to ask is if you guys now any other way to get the phone into the Download mode? Or now a way to restore everything without ODIN?
Before I think the combination was Volume DOWN, Home and POWER but know it doesn't work =/
Thank you all
Use a tutorial on how to install ADB , or try downloading terminal from market and type ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD
Then flash a gio rom using odin

And can you tell me where to find the drivers for the GIO? I've been searching for almost 2 days and I've only found the .ops file.
Some ppl told me that the Samfirmware ROM's don't need them, that we just check a box that says one package and select the ROM and the OPS file, is that right?
And thank you

Your device needs to have usb debugging on, and usb drivers so it can connect.

Well you can't Use ADB because that needs your phone to boot up.
Try this:
Take out battery and wait for a while. Then put it back in.
Now, again, take out battery and wait for a while. Then put it back in.
Now try Download mode

Pull battery, plug usb into computer, hold volume down, then while holding volume down plug usb into phone.
I've done it.
I didn't had access to the Download mode, but i had to the recovery one, so I installed the CM7 from there, then i plug it in to the computer and did as voetbalremco (thank you) told me to. (I got into the Download mode using the ADB and then I tried to install the stock rom that I've downloaded from Samfirmware, this time I used the proper .OPS file and ROM but after ODIN finished the phone wasn't booting all do it was already showing Samsung Galaxy GIO, not ACE and the buttons were are already working so I've installed from recovery another ROM.
Thank you all for the help. Without you guys I wouldn't make it.

wrong firmware upgrade
hello,
I was tried to do some "science" with my phone, upgrading the firmware with Flash ClockworkMod Recovery following instructions for Huawei U8160 in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259739.
After the image were downloaded, i have chosen to Backup Existing ROM (the old one, firmware 2.2.1), and the phone goes off without coming on again from that moment. I have no idea what might be happened but the phone remains off, like a dead body.
I'll appreciate a lot your help guys.

if you still can get in to recovery, you can just flash a rom?
Thanx for the quick reply
but I am new to android
which is the best rom them ? where can I get it ? :S
Hi guys!
I'm trying to bring back to life a Gio from a friend who somehow killed it trying to flash it.
Now the phone does nothing besides turn on the back light of the screen. I can´t put it in download mode or recovery mode.
Although Windows and Odin found the phone can´t flash it. I'm guessing because I can't get the phone to enter download mode.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Hey all,
My power button stopped working and I, thinking it was a software issue, pulled the battery and found out I could not restart. I need to get into recovery or at least turn on the phone to unroot and relock it before heading to verizon.
So far I have had no luck turning the phone back on. I'm sure there is a way to do this... any help is greatly appreciated.
You can use a jig to go into the download mode
And flash a rom

Is the jig the only option? I don't currently have a jig so if that's the only thing I can do I will need to order one ASAP so I can get this thing working.

Are you talking about in command prompt? I tried

which returns " list of devices attached" with none listed.
If you can't get it to turn on they won't be able to either it will probably be fine.

The issue is that the phone is in no way broken other than the power button. I'll have to take it in and hope for the best if I can't figure something out, but I'd really like the peace of mind knowing that all of my files and data aren't stuck on it (I'd also like to get my lastest nandroid or do another one).
I saw a timing trick on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731128 that is supposed to allow the device to boot, but I haven't gotten it to work yet.
Google wugfresh nexus root toolkit
It has a simple one click fix for flashing stock and unrooting when the device can't boot up
Or you can use something like glados cp to relock the boot loader as your rooted then delete the superuser apk in system app

I've gotten the phone into download mode using a jig, but it still doesn't seem to be recognized by the computer. Is this an issue of re-installing the Samsung drivers/adb or a limitation of download mode? Do I need to use odin?

Are you sure you have ADB configured properly for the device to be picked up via command line? USB debugging would have to of been turned on for ADB commands..
I'm almost positive USB debugging is on, especially since I think it's a default option in kang. I can get into download mode but not anything else. At this point I think I'm going to have to use ODIN and lose my data. Stupid power button...
Try removing the battery then tapping the metal battery pins against the phone pins repeatedly.
A friend of mine used to have to do this to get his nexus one to boot.. it can be a bit temperamental but does work.

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed. From download mode you will have to use Odin.
Note: since the device won't actually boot into Android, you don't have to worry about USB Debugging.
Note x2: the only driver that would let my device be recognized was the PDA Net driver, you may want to give it a try.

Well guys, thanks for all the suggestions. In the end I could get nothing to work other than Download mode with a jig and Odin to restore to stock. I lost everything on the phone, including my nandroid backups (should have copied them over more recently ...), but was able to re-lock the bootloader with nexus root toolkit after using Odin to flash the stock rom. ]
Moral of the story, if you lose your power button, you are screwed.

Unfortunately you can't use adb to turn on a powered off device; not saying that wouldn't be awesome.
Searched all over and google yada yada yada. So i end up opening a thread here.
Hello guys/babes/kids/oldfags/ifags in disguise . I have a galaxy nexus here that will only boot into
-download mode,
- fastboot (not working at all, pc wont detect its fastboot and buttons all dead when in recovey/fastboot)
- safe mode - will boot into safe mode if i did combo buttons when attached to charger/pc
The story :
When i booted it from batt pull via only power button press, it will go into download mode straight and if i power off or factory reset in safe mode, it will reboot back into safe mode.
I cant flash anything since fastboot is broken. Ive tried Odin back to factory image of Galaxy Nexus GSM ICS and Jellybean but the prob isnt solved and fastboot is still broken. Tried repartition and bootloader update in ODIN yet still fail. And after every successful flash of repackaged stock, it will directly boot into safe mode (for both ICS and JB factory image). Why i didnt flash using fastboot? Fastboot is broken that is. Lets continue...
Other hardwares are still fine as in safe boot, ive tested all the buttons, display, calls, speaker etc. This is fastboot relate i believe as no matter what pc ive tried and all types of gnex drivers i tried. It wont even fart when connecting to pc(win7 x86). ADB works fine though when i booted into the safe mode. Im able to do adb stuffs but whenever i query it to reboot to fastboot or recovery, a dead end again. OMAPflash the tuna edition for omap4460? Tried yet still the same.
Additional facts : The phone was not unlocked and tempered by any way before the prob happened but now the bootloader is unlocked after i flashed the repackaged ODIN (chainfire posted it)
So XDA Gnex'ers, LET THE HUNT BEGIN!

First of all, bricked mean there is nothing beside a black screen. Nowaday device are hard to brick. second, One does not simply flash a gnex with odin. It's simply a big wtf that is shining through my head. 3rd, if fastboot is not working, it's because it need a special driver that i suppose you didnt install. If you can boot your phone in fastboot but can connect to it, it's because you have a broken USB port, which is not the case since you can access adb. 4th, i'm still trying to know how you achieved this. It look to me you were following some instruction and it either ended, tl;dr i will skip a few step, hope it will work which didnt or you missed electricity. Install Kies, get your phone in download and recover your phone from it. Never attempt again to play on custom rom. Man, how can someone derp a galaxy nexus, it is like the easiest device to work with.

Thx for the reply.
Some clarification here, im not the owner of this phone. Im using 9100 and im just helping a friend to recovery. Ive tried few pcs and it wont even fart when i plugged in during fastboot or recovery (i read someone that in recovery you can do some commands) but the pc(s) wont even detect a hardware being plugged in.
Plus, in fastboot, i cant press any of the hardware keys. No vol up or vol down and the power button dosent work in recovery. I only got to the 3e stock recovery via 'adb reboot recovery' during in fast mode where it booted into the relaxing chillin android with the triangle + red exclamation mark on its tummy. Pressed all buttons and it went to the 3e recovery.
At the 3e, only power button works. I cant toggle a bit using the vol keys. Note that the vol buttons work to boot the phone into fastboot and download mode and also during safe mode, all the keys works flawlessly.
So, i tried the odin method to recovery this living Gnex but with a faulty heart and kidney but it will still boot to safe mode regardless of ICS or Jellybean.
How did this happen?
I have no idea. The owner of the phone claimed that he has never rooted or tempered it in any way. Plus it was still on ICS when i first got the phone (all data was still intact but it was in safe mode at that time).
Regarding drivers, ive attempted many pcs with almost every drivers available. Shall i list em here:
- KIES
- Naked Nexus drivers
- PDA.net
- the 'official' gnex verizon driver set which is said working on GSM devices etc.
Tried those and adb+download mode works fine. Pcs detect em and tried to install the hardware n search for the drivers but not in fastboot. Its just dead.

Adb works fine so im able to pull anything when its booted. Im not sure if we can pull anything in download mode. Adb/fastboot didnt work in download mode. Am i correct? Mind to share some light here on this. And in fastboot, none. No vol keys to operate and the 4-5 pc ive tried wont even fart a sound or hint anything saying a hardware connected. Its like its a dead circuit plugged only in fastboot.
This is quite a super rare case here. Most of the dead gnex i found on the next and also in XDA has a working fastboot that only needs drivers to make it working but on this unit, even the vol keys is dead. Awkwarddddd

Great to know you are not the one who did that . So if i understand correctly, you say download mode work ? If yes, flash another stock rom from chainfire using odin. No one wan't to flash with odin, but if fastboot is not working, you shall at least try it. Also, when you are putting the phone in download mode and connecting it to kies, it should detect it has to be restored. i would say the main reason for it to not work is that android debugging is not ticked in developer options. But that would be strange that adb work on safe mode. There is probably a way to that with adb but you will have to google it. Tell your friend to follow instruction next time. And ffs, do not use odin ! (Little idea too, try to get in fastboot not connected on PC and wait a few minutes then see if you can move with the volume button, then try to connect it on pc)

only suggestion left is to just boot into fastboot, leave it alone for awhile (5-10 mins), then try and plug it in and mess with it.
Try doing the whole driver thing mentioned above but instead of flashing a Google image just do the boot loader portion, what settings are you using to flash in Odin?

adb does not work in download mode/bootloader. adb only works when adbd (adb service) is started, and that happens in android boot process. it means android debug bridge.

My Galaxy Nexus won’t boot into Paranoid Android after flashing a mod. It is not in a real bootloop (I don’t see a reboot including the Google splash screen) but keeps loading/booting the rom (Paranoid Android Logo). Reflash through recovery you would think.
Problem: my volumekeys are broken (cable broken when replacing USB-port)
So I can’t enter recovery with volume buttons. Therefor I wanted to use ADB commands but I only get ‘device not found’ when I type ADB devices or ADB reboot recovery.
ADB has always worked on this laptop so the drivers are installed correctly. Just to be sure I reinstalled the ADB drivers but with no success.
When I connect my Galaxy Nexus while in bootloop I see the Windows device manager showing: Galaxy Nexus (and after reinstall of ADB drivers it says Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface)
TLDR: Galaxy Nexus wont respond to ADB commands.
How to enter bootloader/recovery/push working rom or solve my problem any other way?
Try the galaxy nexus toolkit. It has an option for recovery even when ADB seems to be unavailable. Worked for me as my device was bricked.

Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me which option? Im in the toolkit now but can't seem to find the exact option you mentioned.
Is USB debugging on?

To be honest I don't know. Since I just flashed Paranoid Android and booted my GN to see if it worked (which did) I immediately rebooted to flash the Mod. So it depends on the standard setting for this specific ROM.
Say it is not on, is there any way I could activate it without ADB and volume keys for recovery?
Im starting to think the only chance would be to buy new volume buttons strip and replace it myself.
I just don't get is why Windows recognises a Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface when i connect my phone while in bootloop and still the ADB drivers do not work.

I guess that is a problem, however i read some topics where people say that ADB should still work without USB Debugging on so I'm not really sure if that is the problem or not. Honestly I would think USB debugging would be on by default on a custom ROM to enable ADB in case of a bootloop.
Anyway, what are my options besides hardware repair volume button or buy new phone?
I'm having almost the exact same problem. Would appreciate it if you could PM me if you find a solution. Thanks.

Unless someone knows a way to force ADB connection i think it will be a hardware repair for the volume button. If you find a solution let me know as well
there has to be a way

Real helpful....
Anyway..if you can get to the bootanimation you're not bricked...even with the volume buttons not working. How badly are your volume buttons broken?
It should be possible if you know a bit of electrical stuff...if you find a way to close the circuit between the volume buttons then press the press the power button. It is possible...I just took apart my phone and if that isn't a problem for you, then it is possible to manually close the circuit.
Hi fellas,
I am looking for the way to boot GNex into recovery mode. The problem is:
- the volume keys doesn't work, so reboot combination doesn't work
- the phone doesn't boot into Android system
- the only thing that suppose to work is recovery
What are my options?
So, one method that you could try is to install the adb drivers for the Galaxy Nexus, and then get the fastboot files. Then in the CMD window try the following command: adb reboot recovery. If you have a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP than you can use the screen to navigate. If you need any help in finding the files or anything, just tell me

Yes bro, please make a video
I have adb working on my laptop but the problem is the phone can't be put into connected state. There is no system on it, behavior similar to bootloop. I don't know any state of the phone that I could put it into without working volume keys, such that adb excess would work

Same to me my stuff says unauthorized device everytime i try to do adb commands.
Then, the only way I can think of right now is to go to a GSM Service and repair the volume buttons. That would be the easiest way

But your phone isn't stuck so it will work easy. like your stuff won't say unauthorized.
I know, that was the only thing that was holding me right now, buy he asked for a tutorial on how to properly install the drivers. I found a Toolkit named Wogs toolkit and I think that you can unbrick your phone. I will put that in my video too. Sorry for not posting that video yesterday but I had just a little time and I couldnt do it so fast
