[Q] Bricked/broken galaxy nexus? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Sup everyone, so I let a friend borrow my galaxy nexus and when I got it back he told me when he went to charge it at one time it just cut off and he couldn't get it back on (I assume he's prob lying and did something stupid). So basically I tried cutting it on and starting it up with the boot loader but it seems like it's completely dead(maybe the charging port is messed up?) I think it's still running the first jellybean, anyone have some ideas to try or ideas of what is wrong?

You need to find out what your friend did with it. Maybe try omap flash.

Unsupported device?

I rooted my Nexus and no matter what rom I run (well, from the ones I've flashed) when I open Google wallet, I get a yellow banner at the top of the screen that's says "unsupported device. Learn more" my question is will Google wallet still work or is there a fix?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks in advance

Yes it still works. Its because your rooted it says unsupported device. Some kind of "security" issue...

No problem still have 43$ its because since your rooted Google cant guarantee that your secure element is completely "safe" so they give you late yellow label.

Galaxy Note 2 wont turn on Help

My Galaxy Note 2 just started acting very strange recently.
When I try turning it on, it shows a battery with a circle in the middle then turns off and keeps trying to turn back on showing the battery with the circle. I'm assuming this is low battery but its not because just a few minutes earlier it was working and had 85% battery.
I can use Vol+home and get into twrp recovery without a problem and it shows 85% battery but I don't want to reset my phone right now? Does anyone know of a solution?
Also strangely yesterday I was having trouble trying to get it to charge it took a couple of attempts at inserting the charger for it to work.
I have a SGH-I317M running Cleanrom if that matters...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to turn it on without battery? Just pull it out then connect the mobile to a charger (or PC). If it will open up, then suspect from your battery. Otherwise, might be something different causing this. (Because battery or electricity malfunctions screwing electronic devices and set them to act bizarre, I saw that before)
I just tried that and no response whatsoever are you sure it can turn on even without the battery and just from an outlet?
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S2. I had 3 batteries and have bought 2 more....all 5 do the same thing. USB OTG stopped working at the same time, though it still connects to a PC. Also my yellow triangle disappeared at the same time when the metal connectors seperated from a USB cable and got stuck in the port. I suspect that it fried something.
I tried different ROMs before I gave up last week and bought a GN2 instead.

So my only option is to get it replaced for another one :/
Could this be the sudden death syndrome? What does that look like?
What about the exynos error?
Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in twrp?

I just tried that, I even gave up and did a factory reset. Same result it keeps trying to turn on and then shows empty batter then turns back off and repeats that.
I also left it in the charge until it reached 100% still same problem.
Do you have a second battery? Try it with a 2nd one. If not working than return and claim warranty.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I don't have a second battery, I'm going to have a little issue if I return it because its rooted with a custom rom... Will they be able to figure that out?
Can you boot in download mode? If yes then can Odin recognise the phone?

Try to flash a stock rom for your variant and see if it fixes it!

Atleast now you're on stock rom. Find a nother battery if possible or return it.
Good luck.

I still have the issue of the custom binary thing showing more than one... hopefully they don't look at that.
If your phone doesn't turn on I doubt they'll find out
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Maybe the triangle away boot image can be flashed manually via odin then binary reset. But I am not sure if it is even possible.

Bricked? OMAPFlash 4440

Hey
After a few days of random rebooting, my Gnex wouldnt boot. It was just stuck on the "Google" screen.
So i decided to flash a clean image, but it only got to flash the first part. Cant remember what its called, but it said success in the toolkit(i know, i know). Then it just stopped, and the screen on the phone, the sceen had lots of spots in different colors, and only had a little text in the bottom. Not in the top as normal, so it must have stoped during a operation right.
But now it doesnt turn on. I get the OMAP4440 in device manager when i connect it to the computer, and i think my only hope is to do a OMAP Flash. But i cant find one for OMAP4440. I found one, but after i ran it, i noticed it was for 4460. I ran it again to see if the phone had gotten worse, but the OMAP Flash still catches it.
Anyone got a link for a OMAP Flash for 4440, so i can try with the right one?
Thanks

Nexus isn't TI OMAP 4460?
Sent from my LG-F160K using xda app-developers app
It briefly appears in device manager as 4440. So that's what it is right?
Maybe you flashed another thing from OMAP4440 to your device.As I don't have the device,is hard to help.

I cant have used anything wrong to begin with. I went from a unstable device, to a non booting. Just stuck at boot. I had fastboot and ran a toolkit to reinstall a clean image(was on there allready).
I have used the exact same toolkit before without problems. But this time, it just stopped with all those vierd colors on the screen.
The OMAP 4460 actually seems to run as it should. I see no errors. But the phone is still as dead as before.
Any suggestions before i smash the damn thing with a hammer?

This sucks. I'm out of warranty. The service center people are quoting $160 to fix it. I can buy the whole phone from eBay with that much money!

My note 3 keeps freezing!

Hey everyone, so I jumped to the HTC m8 and I hated it! Paid the restocking fee and got the note 3 again and my phone lags really bad. I have to either restart my phone or turn the screen off and on. I have until Tuesday before my 14 days are up and was wondering if rooting it and flashing a rom would fix the lag or should I exchange it?
Edit. Sorry I meant to post this in the Q&A section.

Rooting it and installing a custom rom/kernel always helps as you can debloat whatever apps you don't use with titanium backup pro, root explorer,trickster mod etc. I don't see how even with 3gb ram this phone lags, but not every phone is the same I suppose.

When I had my first note 3 I rooted that thing as soon as I bought it! I've been holding off with this phone just in case something was wrong with it. I ended up doing a factory reset and everything seems fine now. I'm wondering if an app or game wasn't playing nice with my phone.

So I think I figured out what's wrong with my phone. I was looking online and read that some people were having the same problem I am. Turns out it was the sd card. I took my sd card out and have been playing with my phone for the past hour now with no freezing!

Glad you sorted it, what brand and class was it? I've had lower class cards make my LG G2X & E4GT lag before.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I spoke too soon.... I had the sd card out all day and when I was browsing the Web my phone became unresponsive and I had to turn the screen off and on at least 5 times until I could actually use it. looks like I'll be going to t-mobile to exchange it before my 14 days are up.

Was off for a week and now takes forever to charge and suggestions? I have charged to to 100% a few times already during this week and still. Has anyone had the same problem? Do you think it would go back to normal?

Not The Kernel
Some extra info. The kernel is set to default settings not over clocking other that the default. And plus I flash stock and before replying kernel it was the same.

Did you try wiping cache and dalvik from recovery? If that doesn't help I would fastboot flash the stock system and boot images. You have other options after that but that is where I would start.

I just remembered that I had to throw away a usb cable last week. Have you tried a different one? The fact that it is an intermittent problem makes me think cable or charger, something hardware related. Can't blame you for being disappointed with your N7, seems like all the Nexus tablets have been inconsistent. One of my 2012 N7's I had to RMA for an audio issue and my 2013 N7 that I preordered through Best Buy I had to exchange it the day I received it for touchscreen problems. All that said... My current N7 which I've had since the first day of release has always worked like an effing champ! Try a different cable, hopefully that will be it. Good luck!
