I know i have another thread but its changed. My galaxy nexus is gsm and my brother accidentally flashed verizon stock on it. Now my nexus can only go in download mode and fastboot mode. I have tried flashing stock using odin and fastboot however it goes back to the google logo and just stays till it dies. I also cant access recovery mode because it goes to the google logo. 30 dollars reward thanks
Boot to the bootloader (Fastboot/Download) and give us the information on the bottom. Also give us the link to whatever you're trying to flash. I'll dig up the return-to-stock thread and see if I can't walk you through it. Gotta save that Nexus!
Also it'd be easier if you got on IRC. You can find a lot of us (including me) on irc.freenode.net in the channel #gn so stop on by!

Wug's Toolkit???
have you tried Wug's Toolkit???
I've bricked mine for the same reason for flashing a GSM rom alpha state on a LTE Nexus.
All I had to do was hit the restore button. And it was fixed in ten minutes. I was able to save my data thanks to dropbox. Cuz I just so happened to back up my data there a lot by saving my recovery back ups
But your case is different. Use wug's toolkit and ATTEMPT to save your data by using the backup feature. MAYBE u can still recover your apps. Maybe you broke your CWMR and damaged the system.res or something. So just flash stock+Unroot. As long as you can fast boot I think you can fix it like me.
Give it a try if you have not done this yet. And let me know how it out. =p
Hope it works for u just as well as it did for me.

could you gimmie alink for that toolkit
Unbrickable
Also you can't truly brick a Nexus device. ESPECIALLY a GSM variant.
So you can fix this. I'll try to find another way just in case this way fails. but also there is a tool on the right side of the panel do the Wug's Toolkit panel. Never actually used them, but maybe it can make your phone work again without even having to flash stock+Unroot.
But again I'll try to find a another method of how this can be fixed. Hopefully someone has a tool to fix this.

Sorry. XDA won't let me post a link. =/
Since I just registered and all but don't worry I'm experienced with this stuff.
Just type Wug's toolkit v1.3 Galaxy Nexus and it should be on Android Central
. Hope this saves ur $400-$600 google device. =p
Know how u feel on this.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
This should work because I just read the website and it says that if you flash stock+unroot it should unbrick your device. And maybe an OEM lock is required but your a GSM variant so I dunno since u came out of the factory unlocked.
If you were to fix your Nexus Device u don't have to do your $30 reward.
1. I'm 16. =p
2. Don't have a way of receiving money except by mail, which is a big hassle of nonsense.
3. Just wanted to help since I know how u feel.

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.
Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007

There is one last option... Researching...
---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...
thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.
The worst case scenario is using the KDZ updater.You can google all info on that

I have TWRP recovery, and wiped EVERYTHING before trying to install the Rom, never had a phone that didn't really have a MicroSD, and I guess I wiped the internal memory also... meaning I have no rom to flash...
"adb devices" is not recognizing the phone so I can't Push/Sideload...
I can boot into recovery, but can't do much else without being able to use adb

No. Sorry, I believe it is just Cwm that allows usb storage in recovery.(I could be wrong) As stated above, install the drivers to try to fix adb if that fails then you may need to take a look at this. Good Luck:good:

I tried that "[Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Launcher"
It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.
I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.

well ****. I'm going to try the method listed in that thread but I don't know if it's going to work. Nothing seems to identify my phone properly. The LG mobile support tool recognizes it as "testdevice" and when I try updating recovey through the program it hangs once it says "downloading files".

Also where do I get the "LGE Android MTP Device" drivers? They say failed and I'v tied the newest available drivers package. Or iss this just an error cause of the state of the phone?

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

you have to extract the megalock.dll from its archive and overwrite the existing one in the LG flash tool directory. Then launch the program.

Just read the info in the links - thanks for posting about your success. Good to know there's a way out if I get into the same situation flashing a ROM on my G2.
Helllo all,
i just received a Note 2 from a friend that suddenly stopped working.
It is a standard Note 2 early version (international model), no mods, no root.
when it is on usb charge , it shows the battery , with a non animating circle.
when i turn it on, it shows the white boot samsung logo text, GT N7100, and stays frozen there.
when i boot into factory recovery mode, i get a lot of red text with several mount failures, ending into the recovery menu
when i boot into Odin download mode, i can see the model name after the product name.
what i have tried so far:
per directions on samsung site, i have downloaded latest samsung usb drivers, Odin v 3.10.7 that should work with my version factory rom (TNL-N7100XXUFNI2-20141105083621).
the device is found by Odin (blue com line), the rom is loaded and sum checked in Odin, the write procedure Fails => NAND write fail.
then i thought ok, maybe the NAND is screwed up (as i seen in the red text), and found some sites talking about fixing the invalid arguments, as shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-LZvVLEC5o
I installed ADB, boot the phone into recovery.
With ADB list device , i can not find the phone
however when i choose in the phone: update through ADB
then i can list the device in ADB, but as sideload device.
there for i can not perform the rewrite procedure as shown in the video.
i am kinda stuck here, and do not know how sever the BRICK is.
and what way i should use to unbrick it, if that is still possible.
any suggestions/help would be appreciated
First of all: IT IS NOT SDS.
Second: You have done a couple of things that make no sense.
Either you didn't read the instructions on the vid or didn't understand:
The method shown needs either a booting device or a custom recovery
Third: There are a bunch of options to try
*Factory reset in stock recovery made?
*Recover device through Samsung Kies 3
*Flash OC1 firmware through Odin (I have no idea what you have linked above, can't open)
Hi Androidwizzard, what makes you sure that it is not SDS ?
# factory reset in stock recovery doesn't work => mount failures
# kies can not connect to the device, while it is not booted?
i tried to connect in recovery mode and download mode, nothing worked.
# i did try to flash device through odin with (OC1?) => NAND write fail
i didn't link to any file, it was just the name of the official ROM file. But if you wish to see a link , it is this:

Soft bricked device is no SDS - so simple
Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
Kies is able to connect to unbooted device - I have tested a view times - a matter of driver maybe and it must be turned on.
The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
# Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
The device is factory default and on it's original firmware

driver and software are installed ok, laptop is clean , the problem is the device.
# The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
obviously yes, the person from who the phone is has that provider and yes we are there...
@Androidwizzard have you ever had experience with EFS mount failures?
that occur out of nowhere, with simple daily use ?
Yes, I have and flashed newest firmware through Odin - needed more than one attempt but at the end success.
One time I used Kies3 to restore.

Old experiment:
Hello folks!
I think i made it to unlock bootloader without any freezes.
This unlocker provides 6 different method to try.
If none of these work, there's nothing I can do more, sorry (for now...).
There's a latest beta script. I don't know it will freeze or not, go and test it.
First of all I am not responsible if it bricks your device and becomes unusable, so try if you want.
===AUTOMATED QUICK SCRIPT===
I made an automated flasher. Here's a quick explaination:
1 for my freeze patch.
2 for relock bootloader.

It will give you a better result but not the real fix.

Disable dt2w for the reboots and I recommend using the latest Resurrection Remix by @tank0412, CM is a bit old; so that might do reboots.

When trying a new fastboot; for the best results you should wipe cache and dalvik cache.
If anyone bricked the phone when doing this, check the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/zenfone-5-a500cg-zenfone-6-a600cg-t3354645 (Credits to @swiczak )
@kanodiatushar tested and it worked. Thanks.
I searched about camera bugs and when i disable one core of my cpu, camera is not launching (I normally have camera on unlocked bootloader). So, about camera: Some cpu based bug on some devices makes camera bug on custom roms. Make sure you have four of four cores active and available.
Please give a credit to http://ozankaraali.com when sharing if it worked as i did to other users.
As I said, this is experimental and may or may not be working, even maybe it can brick your device and I need feedbacks negative or positive.

i am still experiencing freeze sometimes but not that frequent, as i said i used 12 hours no-freeze then freezed. i am taking logcat now for the next time if it happens. until i make this i was getting freeze nearly every 30 minute-like and as i said, i need feedbacks for this experiment. i think this is not the end of all the freezes but still noticeable difference for me and i need to hear from the others
by the way using dgadelha's cm13, 18 apr kernel and 15 apr system.
Will try.i use cm13 by dgadelha too

By the way can you see your serial number properly on this fastboot?

ok i followed the procedure in OP and after the freezes i decided to relock the bootloader
i used the tool provided in the RR-LP thread to relock the bootloader
but then i unlocked it again by the flashing dnx then if.bin provided in the OP
and haven't faced any freezes since then

@ozank is it because of the if.bin i placed in /system/etc/firmware/ ?
or does it have something to do with the your fastboot?

I thank you for your efforts about trying at least and giving me a feedback
I am happy that seeing you having not much freezes at all until now
And i don't know what's making the freeze and what is not making the freeze, i was just trying to get a solution, i researched that from the other users' ideas.
I think the if.bin placement is the key, without it, it freezed a lot more according to my experiment.
But as i said this solution wasn't the end of the all freezes so i am still searching the problem but it makes a little bit difference at least and wanted to share for relaxing our devices a bit.
Files were from the 1.18ish version (JB) and i will try earlier files like 1st asus rom and if it makes difference i will share.
i tried reverting back to 1.17.40.16WW and use the official unlocker and after unlock i immediately flashed the RR-MM rom and it freezed....
I will test it for a day... but can you suggest me if it will work on the RR-MM rom?
i mean i flash the rom
place the if.bin
set permission
and then unlock again using the files you provided?

I did like so on cm13 rom. I didn't revert, only changed fastboot images and i am having 12 hour no freeze duration and wanted to share the way, no need to officially unlock, it makes no difference except warranty. I will try to use ifwi, dnx and fastboots of other versions for no freeze at all and i think it varies for the different product bands (like august vs june factory phones).
So, when you trying this way make sure fastboot and ifwi, dnx files of same date and copy if to firmware.
There is just one if.bin for unlocking so this makes the problem and it cannot be compiled by anyone except asus, so we are trying to find the most compatible fastboot and dnx-ifwi bins to our phone. I think that's the key and kernel might search for if.bin on firmware folder if i understand correctly, if it couldnt find it freezes. (If the case is not placebo at all)
Well done... your solution make mine less freeze than before... thank you.
Sr for my bad english

Hi, I tried the tutorial in the first post with V2 files and I get a locked bootloader with ifwi 59.27. Why I get a locked bootloader?

try to flash if.bin again, if it doesn't work revert to v1.
edit: it's a testing build and as i said it may not work and even brick the device, so be careful.
that gave me a a1 bootloader and when i controlled that said signed bootloader, maybe this was a bug and first post edited with your feedback, i will try this build for a night and will report if it freezes.
i have noticed that my zen5 got freeze only when charger is conected, and i play some game (eg Contest of Chamions, Marvel)... after some like 40-50 mins, device is overheating, and freeze.
in other cases i dont have freezes

yes i was talking about "not the end of the freezes" :laugh: on normal usage it works okay with this tutorial, but on charging and using heavy apps occurs freezes.
actually on another thread @pedromd did some ifwi.bins that i haven't tried yet. if anyone wants to try that, can check out his files.
that night, i will look at my v2-like solution and logcat it.
(it may not be working for the other users according to reports but i am now o my v2)

You're welcome.
With 20 Kernel 19 System of dgadelha's CM, i didn't get any reboots on night charge and logcat terminal was there on morning. Only a bit network issue i found on latest release but not that much, if anyone encountering freezes, should try the latest build. I am going to test for daily freezes now. But it should be fixed with these files i suppose.
Thanks for the feedback and have a good day!
