Ive tried searching and googling, but couldnt really find an answer to my problem..I have flashed many roms on my HD2, but only 1 on my gnex. I dont know much about using terminal and the adb system..so im quite lost.
sitation:
-when i put my battery in, i can go into fastboot
-if i let it boot, the google logo with the lock at the bottom boots... then it goes to the loading screen... after about 5-10 seconds, it will reboot and repeat.
i have the sdk tools thing installed on my mac. Im pretty sure its installed correctly but im not exactly sure how to use it.I have an old version of gummy (0.9.0?) and have been running it fine for about 2 months. I used the toolkit program to root and unlock it. installed cwm and installed the rom. didnt have any problems until today, i had just sent an email, and then about a minute or two later, the phone restarted and started booting itself over and over.
I booted into recovery and wiped everything and still boot loops. So i wiped everything again and installed the same rom because I don't know transfer through bootloader. still no luck, after leaving bootloader or recovery it will continue to boot loop.
right now i cant reflash to stock because i can't get my phone to connect to my mac.
my questions:
-will i need to reflash my baseband//kernel/recovery?
-either an update of the rom or a new rom would fix this, yes? how do i transfer a new rom to my phone through fastboot?
-Since i dont have access to my pc, can i do this from my mac? How?
sorry to be so newbie, but i really am with the gnex If anyone can please give me a general step by step... i can search how to specifically do each step.. but i just need help figuring out what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!
Okay it's been a few months since this has happened so I'll try to remember as best as I can; I had rooted my Nexus using WugFresh's kit, everything went fine. It was rooted for about 6 months and eventually got stuck in a boot loop (no clue how this happened, I hadn't installed any kernals, roms, even apps in months). I tried like 4 or 5 different methods to fix the issue; I finally was able to get the phone working again using ODIN mode, it completely restored it to stock (as far as I'm aware).
So I tried to re-root the phone; no luck, using ANY method I've been able to find. The main problem is I can't seem to get into TWRP, every time I try to it simply gives me the dead android with the red exclamation point. I'm not an advanced user by any means, but I'm not totally clueless and I can follow directions. If anyone has any advice for me on this I'd GREATLY appreciate it, I have an excellent 4G signal where I live and the only other internet option is AT&T basic DSL so I'd really like to be able to use my wifi hotspot again. Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to try to help.
1) android on its back is stock recovery.
2) follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
it works 100% of the time if you read and take your time.
it sounds like you have root but cant flash a recovery, let me know if im wrong but if this is the case I would just download goo manager from the market and go into settings and flash a custom recovery and that should fix your recovery problem but sometimes you have to download the recovery twice ive noticed that in the past, let me know if this works for you or you could go through the longer process above but your fix may be very simple
Thanks for the info, I will try this either tonight or tomorrow and get back to you; I certainly hope it works!

I thought that too, but I tried installing super user and a couple of other root-only apps and it said that my device wasn't rooted. =P

This is driving me insane. I'm trying this method; I followed the directions step by step, but my phone is showing that it is unlocked already (when I entered the fastboot oem unlock command in CP it returned FAILED: Invalid Command, but it is showing as unlocked in bootloader.
Now for the weird part; I rebooted to bootloader and tried fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-toroplus.img and it returned immediately FAILED: Invalid Argument. I decided to start the process over, and now I can't reboot from CP, it's saying error: device not found.
I really want to just smash this f*%&ing thing into several hundred thousand pieces right about now, so I'm going to take a break for the moment. Are there different types of bootloaders, or is it possible the my bootloader is just corrupted or something?
There are different bootloaders, but the fastboot commands should work just the same. You're on Windows i'm assuming? You could also look at efrant's guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895, as well as his 101 in the general section stickies. It does not make sense that the device would become not found, and I would try reflashing the bootloader. Don't smash the phone!
Have you tried this method?

I have never had your issue before but I am hoping I'm leading you in the right direction I would Google how to reset back to stock there's a lot of vids on it on YouTube but here's what I think would fix your problem
Sounds like you need to download a factory image go into download mode plug it into Odin and use the factory image to reset it back to normal, word of advise, just root it and learn about ROMs 4.3 is over rated in my opinion 4.4.2 is the newest we have on the aosp side and it is awesome, I highly recommend beanstalk 4.4.2
Also I found this in another post not sure if it applies to you but I'm sure someone else can confirm or deny
"If you update to 4.3...you WILL have a locked bootloader...and currently no good way to root..
Additionally....your KNOX flag will trip and your warranty is toast...if you attempt to root...( as of today, and until the devs can fix Sammy's latest patch)...
Beyond that...you can never go back to 4.1.2 again...
Stay on a 4.1.2 bootloader without KNOX and then you can flash every rom we have along with a full return to stock if you want...
An update to 4.3 will stop any means of going back."

No I have done a ton of research and can't figure it out, I feel like i've tried everything. I keep trying to go to stock rom, used Keis, used Odin, Used Heindal, flashed stock recovery roms, flashed stock combo roms, have like 12 counts of custom binary downloads and KNOC WARRANTY VOID : 1 and in download mode in red at the top it says in Odin Mode and then Red in the bottom after it says (in Gray) KNox warranty void: 1 and
AP SWREV A2 it then says in red again unsupported version under those....
Roms? You need a stock image for it to work totally different

You did the battery pull part as well? I think the trick is to have your fingers on the buttons first then slide the battery back in to force the recovery but until I try it myself I don't know for sure.

I have the same issue..... Had 4.3 ota.... Flashed cwm thru odin. Restarted the phone, it will not boot past the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. Flashed stock rom thru odin, still stuck at the samsung note 2 screen. I can get into download mode with no issues whatsoever. I cannot get into recovery mode, whether stock or cwm. Nothing.

HOW-TO Downgrade from 4.3 OFFICIAL MK6 to LJ2 4.1.1
Do this it works. If it does get stuck on the second Samsung logo pull the battery,
Boot into Stock recovery, and do a factory reset.
It will boot the 4.1.1 stock ROM but it will have the MK6 bootloader. You can flash TWRP or CWM thru ODIN and flash other ROMs. 4.3 ROMs is all I have tried.
I've just spent hours doing this. It's almost impossible to brick this phone. If you do brick it you have done something really really fricking stupid.
I've done a lot of stupid ****, and I have always brought it back to life.

Yup! Fricking stupid------like upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4.1, then in recovery factory reset, and in ODIN trying to get back to 4.1.1 How stupid is that??? If YOU have done this, would you be able to reboot into recovery????? Try it.........
You probably did something wrong. Im the OP of the How to downgrade 4.3 MK6 to LJ2 and Ive done it many time over.
This is the problem i cant get into recovery mode only download, I flashed the firmware from sammobile and did all the steps but it literally wont let me into recovery to wipe the data, I'm stuck on the first samsung Galaxy Note II screen
Have you guys tried to flash cwm or twrp after flashing 4.1.1? Since all you can get into is dl mode try flashing a custom recovery them attempt the battery pull/recovery step.

Agree. Get into DL mode flash TWRP from here.

It should boot right into recovery.

I personally have done it five times in the last two days. Plus ODIN'd MA4.
Actually I've done it the correct way. I have no idea what you are referring to in your post.
From a non-bootable 4.3 OTA, because I installed a mod from the theme/apps section, I flashed the LJ2 in ODIN. It did not boot. I reread the OP and saw that if it didn't boot, do a factory reset.
I flashed it again in ODIN, probably did not need to, it hung.
I pulled battery, did the power/home/up and got to stock recovery. Factory reset it boots.
Testing different scenarios I got boot loops, reflashed LJ2 and did same procedure.
I found out later from Zen all I had to do was flash a recovery and it would fix the error saying I have an error in my firmware, I need to recover using Kies. There was no need for that.
I understand you all can't get to recovery try flashing a custom recovery from ODIN like suggested above.

I can honestly say that I will be done trying to help you with this. What YOU are not getting is we are trying to help YOU fix YOUR mistake.
I understand it is frustrating when you hit a snag that leaves your phone in soft brick form but as EVERY OP states you are doing these things AT YOUR OWN RISK. Getting angry and impatient with those that are trying to help will get you nowhere fast.
Good luck fixing your phone and I really hope you get this figured out.

I'm getting from every post I have read that you've done in multiple threads, you don't desire any help.
That's what I get.
EDIT : Damn Jspex beat me to it.
EDIT 2: OP, I'll PM you and give you my contact info and see if we can get you going.
As to not let one person ruin the OPs chances of fixing things here is a good way to get into recovery that does take a little know how. Its always good to know the basics of adb anyway when modding android devices.

If your device is not being recognized try a different USB port.
Or from the command prompt;
type "adb kill-server"
then type "adb devices", adb will restart on port 5307.

My phone won't turn on and is stuck on loading screen after trying to download an Asus update.
I didn't mean to install the update as i knew a problem would occur. I have the 2.3ghz version of the phone with 64gb of storage with Lollipop.
When i try to go into recovery it says it is installing update for a couple seconds then it gives an error so i can't get into that.
Can someone help me and give detailed instructions on what to flash and how to flash something to my phone via ADB or something?.. The phone is also rooted obviously
I gave as much information as i can think of right now.
I greatly appreciate any help. I have looked at some threads but I don't know how or what to flash and if it even relates to my phone at all.
This is what I've looked at so far:

try to reflash again the system.img or firmware and use this for rooting make more easy https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B936USMlQhtKbmZLZDE3N1JMazA/view
Thanks for the fast response . But how may i flash this to my phone? And is that toolbox for the zenfone 2?
Nevermind i figured out how to flash the image and that type of stuff.. But idk what image i should flash. I go to the Asus website and find the latest version which is 2.20.40 but on the XDA post it has like 2.13.10 or the lower versions.
Would it be ok to flash any system image to it? Mine has 2.19.40.22 on it right now when i checked in recovery. ( Which i got working , It was giving an error)
Thanks
Hmmm
Trying to flash the firmware to the phone and in adb it says it cannot read the firmware. I literally copy and paste and try almost everything and it says it cannot read it still. I don't know what to do if anyone can please help.. Been stuck without a phone for days :/
I typed adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip and it will not read it or do anything.
Dudes,can someone lend a hand please?
I started off this morning stoked that I came accross a root method and recovery for MM,but this evening I just want my baby back.
I don't know where to go from here. I was rooted using this method,but something has gone awry.
Right now I'm in a bootloop and the samsung logo with the kernel message in red. I've tried restoring stock ROM's via adb and Odin and nothing works. I have TWRP installed, but TWRP will not allow me to transfer anything from my PC to my phone so that I can flash stock firmware and start over.
I'm literaly lost as where to go next,someone please show me the light?
