Develop Bugs

Need help. this one has me stumped!!

Ok, so my friend has a galaxy nexus and its was working fine for him and then one day its was fuxzored. He told me the last thing he did was installed a cracked version of gta. the game worked so i dont think its a virus but thats the only thing fishy i know of that he did with his phone.
so, the state the phone is in is it goes into a boot loop when trying to start the thing, the google logo comes up and then there is a glitch in the screen for a second then back to google logo and then a restart.
i am able to get into the bootloader but when i try to go into recovery the android is lying on his back with a red exclamation point over him(most of the time i cant even get to that point. sometimes the screen goes black or glitches and it reboots.), so i press all three buttons and i have the option to wipe data or flash from cache, but there is nothing in the cache.
so i thought i might be able to use fastboot with the gnex toolkit to flash his recover to cwm. well the bootloader is unlocked but recovery is still messed up. nothing seems to work.
im out of ideas. please help!

This won't help if he can't get into recovery mode.

The droid with the exclamation mark is the stock recovery. If you push volume up + power you get the recovery menu. Maybe a factory reset there will bring a solution? (Only thing I can think off right now).

How about Odin?
Can you get into download mode?

Yeah Odin would fix it.
Try this - http://goo.gl/sXXGN

'fastboot erase recovery'
'fastboot flash recovery cwm.img'
Try that

What bk201doesntexist said. As long as you can get into the bootloader, you are good to go.

[Q] Help please!

Hi guys... just flashed another ROM, as I have many times, but this time I'm stuck on the HTC screen. The phone doesn't boot past this and forcing a restart by holding the power key and volume down won't get the phone to boot into recovery. Does anyone know any way of forcing the device to boot into recovery. I've obviously cocked up somewhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Did you erase the cache via fastboot to fix it? I had the same issue.

No... I kept the power button and volume down pressed even after the device restarted, and it then restarted again and booted into recovery. Never had an issue before trying to access recovery so thought it was a bit strange. It was probably just a fluke case. I understand why people jump to the "Did you flash the boot image / clear the cache" reply, but I'm not a novice here. I've been flashing ROM's since 2007!
Thanks for the replies any way

I always have to keep the power button and volume pressed down even after the device restarted, else it just goes over to start the rom automatically. Probably that was ur problem too.

[Q] Odin stuck at NAND write start

I will keep this brief but thorough:
I've had the phone for 2 years and I've been a flashaholic ever since. I have flashed several ROMs on the phone and I have recovered some goof ups. I recently upgraded to the N5 and passed my E4GT to my wife until I get her a new phone and we jump ship from Sprint. I flashed a stock rooted ICS ROM and past it off to her as if it were a brand new phone, she set it up and went about her week. Yesterday her sister borrows the phone to browse a website (nothing malicious, black friday deals etc). The phone craps out on her and now wont boost past the Galaxy S2 Splash screen. I can't boot into recovery it just hangs on the splash screen no matter how long I hold vol up + pwr. I CAN boot into download mode. I went about the standard method of flashing EL26 recovery to try and factory reset or flash a diff ROM. Odin 1.85 freezes at NAND Write Start. Odin 1.3 doesn't read that the phone is plugged in. The Odin one clicks don't register that the phone is connected either. I tried to reflash the ICS Stock Rooted ROM and it hangs at sbl.bin and eventually fails. The cable and USB ports are not defective, I've switched them up. Are there any means of saving the E4GT?

Do you have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer? Odin won't work without them.

Well...Yes. Like I said I've been flashing things on this phone for 2 years. Although a new issue seems to be that the computer won't recognize it at all now. I tried to reinstall the drivers and it still comes up as unrecognized. No version of Odin recognizes the phone now. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sorry, I've never had any problems with Odin.

I don't think Odin is the issue. I'm wondering if the internal memory of the phone died. It won't boot to recovery and if it is plugged in to charge it only shows an empty battery with the charging circle in the middle. It never changes to the battery charging with a green filler despite the battery having a charge.

I have tried Kies 3 firmware upgrade and initialization, that has not helped me
Can someone please give me bullet point on how to sort this out, and, if possible, provide with me links for any downloadable content, please

Can you explain in some more detail please what is going on?

okay, thanks, I will explain what I can see on my note 2 and what I have done so far
when you press the power button, I see the Samsung logo trying to boot but it's never boots up. Sometimes when I press the power button I see the empty battery sign as if the battery is trying to charge but it is not empty.
I bought a new battery just in case it was the battery fault- no such luck.- I can put my phone on download mode. I had a weird feeling the day my note 2 decided to have a coma, I saved all my photo and did a back up on kies 3
So far I have downloaded odion 3.09 and 3.10, I down loaded 6 different rom for my note 2 GT-N7100 and tried them all, odin says Failed, failed failed failed failed!! I need serious help

sudden death syndrome
there were faulty emmc chips in early version of Note 2. Phone just shut itsellf and you can't flash anything, boot, etc.

It probably is SDS.
What message do you get in Odin when it fails?

It just says "fails " on odin. I have tried 6 different roms so far.

In Odin, at the bottom left there is a panel that shows the log of what is going on. The FAIL appears in the top left
What does the log show when you flash?

Phone locked (even after flashing)

Hello,
I got the device back from an employee who left the company but he didn't reset the phone nor did he give us the unlock code, so its encrypted and we can't use it for someone else atm.
I tried everything to get the phone unlocked.
The last thing I tried is removing the back cover from the phone and short a little circuit to get it to boot in EDL mode.
I was able to flash a stock rom but after the succesfull flash its STILL locked and can't setup the phone.
What more can I try??

FRP I guess?

Dude, you've been making these posts and asking for help. If an employee gave it to you, just call the employee and get the PIN number or ask him to come and unlock the device for you. This is not that hard. If the device is FRP locked, you won't be able to unlock it anyway so stop trying and making us think you stole the device. I suppose gnide93 is also you?

Dude this is litterally my first topic on this forum, and no i'm not gnide93.
Also hes not an employee anymore and you don't know the situation.
I can't contact him anymore.
If you really think I stole the damn phone I can show you the contract he signed for the fricking phone.

Try wipe device in TWRP, after wipe reboot device and continue normally, in setup don't connect co WiFi and finish first setting, after this go to setting in phone and go to reset option and reset drm... And finally make normal default reset

TWRP = No Go. His problem is it's a FRP locked phone and it still has locked bootloader.
I suggest service center is the way to go. Or ask the original owner about password politely
