Problems - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Okay here it goes. Tried out a 4.3 ROM for VZW Galaxy Nexus and it worked fine. Wanted to go back to CM 10.1.2 went to flash it and have run into major issues. Im using the SDK adb for all installs. I have everything erased and it only boots into the bootloader with the message no boot or recovery img. I have the files in my tools folder to flash back to stock 4.2.2 but when I try to flash the stock bootloader, radio,and then the mysid.img I just get errors(they fail-getting "FAILED"data transfer failure ) and the bootloader doesn't change(it displays at the bottom-bootloader displays "fastboot status download-0044d800". What am I missing? I feel like i've tried everything.

I have the latest SDK and have it updated. still having the same issue. using rev. 18.0.1 Think I may have found the problem was using a usb 3.0 port and have now gotten one step closer! omg if this works...... lol have been tearing my hair out for days. Yupp just changing the usb from 3.0 to 2.0 slot did the trick.

You gotta install adb driver for Nexus. For my computer, when I enabled usb debugging, it downloaded the driver for me (odd enough) but if your computer doesn't do that, you can Google around to get the exe file for you to install. Just make sure the Nexus has usb debugging on, or it doesn't let you install the driver (from my experience)

ok i just went back to cm9 in a panic thinking no jelly bean drivers or something i dunno why i thought that. I will go into dev section and look for some drivers. The site that it gave says KIES is having issues so i cant even download kies. Can i still get drivers with out it? and when i did uSB debugging i still could not load drivers it said failed.

It doesn't matter what you're currently on. You will completely nuke your phone when you fastboot the images onto your device anyway.
ok my computer currently recognizes my phone now and i know how to re lock my bootloader what rom should i put it on so they dont know i was rooted before relocking the bootloader. I thought locking it would set it back to default but i was wrong i just had cm9 with a locked bootloader lol i think they would know from that but seriously. What rom should i put to just make my phone 100000% stock

So you got everything stock except the ROM? So you got stock recovery and everything? If you do, first of all, download the stock rom from google site (there should be few versions, that, you gotta find it out) then you need to download clockwork mod recovery (assuming that you got fastboot and adb) now just boot into cwm on your phone and flash the stock rom. By doing this, you're not over writing the recovery but you can still use the cwm
Also you gotta unlock first lol

Major problems! Phone completely bricked nothing is fixing! Please help

I pulled my phone out of my pocket it and saw that it was on the HTC boot screen. It stayed like the for a while so i shut it down using Power, Volume UP&Down.
I tried to boot again but was freezing at the HTC boot screen.
I booted into recovery and it said it couldnt load /cach/x (command and log and last_log)
Ive tried everything from flashing RUU to new HBOOTS, nothing is working.
Now my laptop keeps saying a USB port is malfunctioning everytime i plug the phone in.
Im two seconds away from smashing this with a sledgehammer.
I was running Aeroevan's Unofficial CM10 Jelly Bean With the v12 Kernel w/ Video Drivers.

The only issue now is I only have FastBoot Support but no ADB support. I have no idea why but my phone only shows up under fastboot devices and not adb devices. so i have no idea how to use that guide
The Inc 2 ports often go bad. Try wiggling and plugging it in not all the way. Also sometimes had to push on the cable and hold for it to recognize the USB.

If your phone can be used via fastboot it should be able to via adb. Like CS said, It might be a bad micro-usb slot. I would try wiggling it to see if that helps. Being able to access fastboot means its not bricked, it just might be a hardware failure.

If your phone isn't booting past HTC screen it won't usually show up as an adb device.
Are you s-off?
Have you tried the return to stock that I posted?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
This does not change hboot version so you shouldn't get that error but will put un-rooted stock and stock recovery back on your phone. Then you can install custom recovery, flash su bins and be ready to go again...... hopefully

Everything i try keeps freezing in the bootloader screen when i go to install any RUU or image file or zip including that PG32IMG thing or whatever.

Well first of all, I definitely don't recommend you using toolkit. Using it has higher chance of bricking your phone.
It seems like you might have to boot into the clockworkmod recovery and from there, flash the zip. It's faster than the way and also doesn't give you those kind of headache

Hi guys when I say toolkit its the specific gnex toolkit. I thought this was a well received method for rooting - no?
Are you sure you flashed the right stock recovery for your phone?
Ya definitely flashed right stock recovery. It's very easy using the toolkit.

I've used the toolkits and fastboot on 3 different gnex's and not had problems either way. If you fastboot incorrectly as well it's possible to brick your phone right?

well yeah if you fastboot the wrong recovery, but if you typo the command, it errors and wont flash it.
The OTA failed not because of your recovery but because of /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl not being stock or missing.
You can either find that file and push it back and then run the OTA hoping that's the only file you modified.
Or flash the stock JB image following the link Zepius posted in the 2nd post.
I used this thread to help me update to JB when the OTA wasn't showing up for me (I was impatient).

[Q] Bricked GNex?

I was doing a lot websurfing and the phone got hot but didn't think much of it. Then my screen imagine became distorted and a loud noise came out of the speaker. I had never seen it before. I figured the phone crashed. The power button didn't work, so I removed the battery and put it back in. Now the phone can't get past the "Google" screen (which blurs after a few moments). My phone is unlocked and rooted. It's been so long since I've flashed my phone that I don't know if the usb debugging is turned on and here's where my problem lays. I can't get the phone to be recognized by any of my computers. I've tried a bunch of tools, installing different drivers, and Odin. All of them can't see my phone. I can boot into Fastboot and Odin. I can sometimes boot into CWM, and if I do, all I see is "ClockworkMod recovery v5.8.0.2" and no other options. After 15 seconds, the phone will exit CWM and reboot.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Can you boot into recovery and maybe full wipe and re flash? Have you tried a backup? Have you tried mounting in recovery? Should be SD or USB mount try that maybe. I'm not a Dev. But I would try all those first. Post back if possible.

Okay, I figured out why my computer couldn't see the phone. The USB cable was bad. It charged the phone, so I assumed it worked. Tried another cable and now the computer sees the device. Stupid cable!
So, I got going using fastboot but now I have another problem. I can connect to the phone and my computer sees it, but when I try a flash command like "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img", I get "Failed (status read failed (Too many links))". I've been doing some reading and see this is not a good thing.
I haven't tried Odin, because I read in another post by efrant, not to use Odin if I'm getting the "Failed (status..."
I probably have a hardware issue, right? Any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone for their input!!!
I tried using fastboot to boot into the latest recovery .img file. Again, all I got was the title "ClockworkMod Recovery Mod 6.0.1.9"

Try using fastboot to flash TWRP recovery image not CWM.
Download it from here if you have GSM GNex (Maguro), otherwise, just choose your device from the same website
And what about returning to stock using fastboot? You changed the USB cable so seems this should work with you now.

Well, I searched for that error and found this thread. I checked it quickly and there are many suggestions up there to solve the issue like changing the cable, ports, and so on. So please take some time to read through it and try the various solutions so hopefully this error will be solved
I too have had issues with cables. Never that same error but I've had read and write errors. I've resorted to using a 3yr old Motorola Droid power cable because it seems to be built the best. I've also had success using different ports and computers.
Also instead of updating the drivers to the newest try deleting the device out if device manager and rebooting and then installing the device new. That has fixed a "hardware component ID" error I had

Waiting for device no matter what

I have installed and reinstalled the usb drivers like 4 times with reboots in between. I was about to root, but after root i cant do anything. The main thing i want to do is flash a custom rom. I have the gnex tool kit, it says waiting for device (option 6), and the most recent drivers are from that toolkit. I tried command pront, Fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says waiting for device. I tried adb flash recovery recovery.img it says waiting for device. I tried 2 different cables and all my usb ports on my computer.
Im at a loss. I can still transfer files from my computer to my device. My computer detects it just none of these commands... god i wish i had an sd card slot... lol
Edit:
I also tried putting it inot fastboot mode by pressing the power and wolume up / down keys. It goes to the screen and says start. All commands still say waiting for device.
I feel like this is a driver issue but idk why.... i have tried all drivers...........
i have a samsung galaxy nexus l515 verizon cdma.

Are you confusing adb with fastboot, or was "adb flash recovery recovery.img" a typo? Anyway, forget the toolkit. Get adb/fastboot binaries from the 101 & FAQ, and try:
1) booted into Android: adb devices
This should list your device with a number. If the list is empty, adb cannot interface with your gnex.
2) booted into the bootloader: fastboot devices
This should also list your device with a number. If the list is empty, fastboot cannot interface with your gnex.
Note that the adb and the fastboot interface are different. If you installed drivers and got adb running, this does not automatically make fastboot working. Boot into fastboot, connect and use device manager to scout for unknown devices. Update using naked driver if necessary.

please root your phone the manual way, or at least try fastboot alone so we actually know what the problem is.

Again, driver issue. 'fastboot devices' should return your devices serial number. that command is the tell-tell sign that communication between fastboot host (PC/Mac) and client (device) see and recognise each other.
And please try to be flawless on the transcription of the exact commands used, to exclude the possibility of typos.

Then it maybe not be a driver problem: you need to update platform-tools through android-sdk, which has fastboot/adb binaries. 4.2.2 requires it.
