Ive flashed modded pit files...pits from random phones. Even flashed a d710 ROM with Odin. Flashed toro plus and maguro Odin packages to the phone and no brick.lmao! Can't seem to brick the thing.
Just don't flash or Odin a radio file that's not from your carrier. Might see how brickable these devices are. Installing the wrong radio file is the #1 way to Nuke a phone. Have fun beside that.

OMAP flash.
Unless you have a faulty eMMC, there is no way you can hard brick your gnex, at least I can't think of any ways to do it.

Hi,
I seem to have a dead galaxy nexus (I don't have its history, it just doesn't power on).
I've put a different battery (fully charged), used a jig (301k) and still it's not turning on.
Is it likely a dead board?
The jig works on another phone, as the battery.
Thanks.
google omapflash tuna. zip.... drivers are included. just plug phone into pc without battery.

Not to sound rude, but you obviously did not do "a ton of research", as you would have read that GSM, Verizon and Sprint images are not compatible with the other devices.
You have no other option but Odin when you see the screen you are referring to. Try it again.

People are saying this may be a pba problem.
Only PBA I know of is a bluetooth profile. What are you referring to?
I have the GSM Nexus so proceed with caution, but I'm wondering if they use the same types of files and folders. This is what I did to fix it when I accidentally wiped my IMEI:
cmstlist said:
Okay that was quick - solved it!
I believe the problem was that I'd restored the entire /data partition of my prior unit's backup including the /data/radio folder. Not a good idea! The solution was to copy the nv_data.bin and .md5 files from /factory and paste them to replace the incorrect ones in /data/radio. Now my IMEI is back!
Time to backup those files somewhere safe...

Don't try anything without backing up what you already have.
Just flash it to stock and play stupid. Then they will "factory data reset" it, because that fixes everything. Ha ha. No really, they'll give you a replacement.

if you can make a nandroid,
first off you need to download wugfresh's Gnex toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
second you need to install all the drivers if you haven't already.
then you need to choose your model type
after you will need to click on back to stock what it does is it resets everything, assuming your phone ant boot up choose not booting
once that is done you can choose the factory image which can be downloaded from Googles factory images or you can use the options provided
after that you follow all the steps provided in the tool kit. the tool kit is mostly automatic so it wont take allot of time.
once that is done you are back in stock and have lost everything but don't fret because you can root it again using the same tool kit.
quick point your phone still has an unlocked boot loader so don't worry about that.
once youve completed the above steps you should be back to your good old galaxy nexus home screen
Verizon won't warranty it because the sticker under the battery has turned colors. No water damage I just touched one day when I took out the battery my hands were slightly wet prob not smart lol. I know this wasn't the cause it has been 5 months the only thing damaged was the sticker and warranty. Yes I have the right ROMs installed I'm not a newb. This is like the same issue with the s3 I tried to use the qpst method but I can't even get the hidden menu to show on the phone clueless as to why. I just want to use my gnex as a beater phone when I'm out.

As long as the device will power into a state where you can use ADB, you can always use "adb reboot bootloader" and use fastboot commands to return to stock.

Is it "stuck" being pressed in? Happened to my nexus s and the phone was fine once on (would boot up auto when battery pulled) and no adb would work due to it thinking power was being held down.

The thing is 'adb reboot bootloader', 'chmod +x flash-all.sh', './flash-all.sh' and 'fastboot oem lock' is way easier than all that. And supported too.

Nothing is guaranteed but I've not heard of a note 2 not being recoverable from a bootloop. As long as you can see the Samsung logo you can normally fix it. I'd check out mskips toolkit at skipsoft.net. That should have all the tools you need

If the price is right it is definitely worth the gamble. As long as it's a genuine note2 I'm pretty sure someone on here can get it out of bootloop. Very worse case scenario is a new motherboard but that's normally only for sds

Thanks sawdoctor, these phones still sell for a pretty good bit in working order. Its at 150 now and in great shape. So if I can get it under 200 I think that would be ok and worth the time to fix it. As long as I can get it to restore back to a VZW phone and root it ill be happy.
