You're doing something wrong. I don't know exactly what, but this is a very simple process. Is the phone even in dl mode, or what?

Download mode is usually when you hold the volume + and - button right? Then you press + to continue and you'll reach to the page where the android dude is at.

Yes i did and also the kies thingy.

Let me see if I can help!
After you put your phone into download mode and then plug it into the pc is Odin already running?
And once its plugged in do you at least see it in COMM?
Also are you flashing the recovery first or are you trying to install the root through odin?
Have you already got cwm recovery on the phone?

Does your computer even recognize your device? I had an issue with mine where the USB port crapped out and I had to get a warranty replacement.

N7100 does not boot past start up screen

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?

Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.
Flash stock rom via pc odin
make a nandroid bake up as soon as you root your phone next time.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.

Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I lost my data anyway I had backed it up with titanium but ran into problems restoring it... Lesson learned to create an image of my Android once I got it sorted again.
Thanks

I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine

[Q] Soft Bricked

I woke up this morning to my locked up in the middle of the night. I did a battery pull and it gets stuck at the nexus boot screen. I tried rebooting into recovery mode it only goes to a pic of the android laying down with the panel open and an exclamation point above it.
I connected it to my computer and tried to do a recovery with Wug Fresh toolkit. It has a problem with the ADB not being connected. I think it is probably because I didn't put it into developer mode. How can I fix my phone now?

Try diff usb cable. Look in device manager on your comp and make sure the adb drivers are installed. Sounds like a driver issue.

1) android on its back is stock recovery.
2)your drivers are not setup correctly.

Does it matter that when my phone died I didn't have USB debugging mode checked? After I rooted the device, I unchecked it for safety reasons.

You mean where it boots up with the Volume up- down and power button? Yes it boots into that. I have fastboot abilities. When I choose reboot bootloader it just restarts the phone and hangs again on the Nexus logo.

Awesome. Its a verizon nexus right? If so search my topics and find my tool. 4.0.4 flash back to stock. This will bring it back to its original state. If ur having fastboot driver issues download them and install them via device manager on ur pc. The program will say not responding. Ignore it and let it do its thing. Can take up to 20 mins but it does work.

No, it is not a Verizon Nexus, it is a GSM maguro.

It will still work. Just uncheck the cdma and lte radio boxes. U can also flash the stock image. Theres other toolkits out there that should work for you

I'm going to try something I read for Odin, if that doesn't work, I will try your tool. Can you provide me with a link to your tool?
Thanks for your help so far. I was panicking even called in today from work so I could focus on this.

ODIN to the rescue.
Thanks everyone for your help and patience with me.
Could the nightly Franco Kernel have done that? I installed the latest nightly kernel last night about 8 or 9, and when I got up my phone was toast.

Buddy, hope you learned a valuable lesson, make sure to get a working sd card. It saved me many times.

Yeah for some reason Odin doesn't work for me, and its like my phone that doesn't read my SD, could I use sideload if I can't get my phone to turn on? I can get into recovery

You could always mount your internal storage in recovery and transfer from a pc

As long as you can get into TWRP or CWM, you can use ADB to push a file to the phone for updating.

Water damage, bootloop.

Hi XDA,
my brother got his GNex wet and gave it to me. I took it apart entirely and let it dry overnight, I assembled it back together today but I can't get into the OS.
Bootloader, Fastboot, Download-Mode, recovery and ADB sideload all work fine but if I want to boot into the OS it just keeps rebooting at the Google-logo with the little lock at the bottom.
What I've tried so far:
Reflash the stock ROM via the Nexus Root Toolkit
Repartition and reflash stock ROM via Odin
Flash CyanogenMod in CWM
I've tried all of the above multiple times, I can't get it to boot.
Could it be that the internal memory is defective? If so, is there any tool that I could use to test it? Can I partiton "around" the defective parts?
Thanks for your time and help.

That's essentially exactly the same, all the toolkit does is execute the commands automatically

Okay I just did that according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/how-to-return-to-stock-galaxy-nexus-t1626895 but it still doesn't boot properly. Any ideas?
edit:
I just noticed that:

No ideas? :/

Err thats recovery. Not fastboot. But maybe your internal memory has died.. But I sont know sure yet.

I can get to fastboot and download-mode as well, that's how I flashed the ROM and the stock recovery
