[Q] Nexus stuck in boot loop. how get to install drivers?

Hey guys i've been looking through alot of google and can't seem to come up with anything so i turn to you awesome people.
My friend got a Galaxy Nexus GSM and he bought it with a boot loop problem. The phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked. I know because i can go to CWM recovery and also theres the unlock sign on it. However I can't get my computer to recognize it what so ever not even mount the storage. I figure i need to get the drivers to install but i need it to be recognized in device manager to do it through a rootkit. I tried to install the ADB drivers but also got no luck. I then tried to get to ODIN for it to work but ODIN won't recognize it either. Is there any way to install the drivers so i can put on a ROM on this. I think the person he bought it from formatted everything and messed it up. Is there anyway i can install the drivers without getting it to recognize first? I tried it in windows 7 and in windows 8. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Pay attention to Section A. Forget Odin, no need to be using that.

First off thanks so much for the reply and help it is very aprreciated!
Secondly i did come across this sticky however like i stated the phone is in a boot loop which means i cant get past the google logo in order to set it in developer mode and set usb-debugging neither can my computer recognize the phone when i plug it in, using the original cable i've tried every port there is on my desktop and laptop and nothing comes up in device manager. The phone is completely wiped and no OS is on it. Is there any way i can get a ROM on the phone?! This is one idea i have but i don't know if it'll work, I was thinking of buying a another working nexus install the drivers with that one and then i can get the bootloop one to get recognized? and return the new one. Will that work?

You need to get adb to work with your device, which you can do in a custom recovery. You don't need to have USB debugging enabled, you would if you were booting into the OS, but not the recovery.
You can get drivers setup while in recovery or fastboot just as easy as if you were booted into the OS, so no you don't need another device.

thanks thats great news cause i dont have that kind of cash but how do i get ADB to work with the phone every installation guide i've looked at requires that i have the phone recognized om device manager. Is there anyway to install adb without having the device to recognize?

again, read the thread i gave you. if you're still asking this question, read it again.

Isn't that for the nexus 4? And I did pay attention to section A but it told me how to install the drivers which is the same way as every other tutorial I've looked at. My device doesn't show up on my computer and I can't install their way. As for the fastboot driver installation idk what their talking about. I followed the instructions though and got no results. I didn't do the whole thing cause for part C I need the original rom for galaxy nexus and also I don't know if the platform tools zip is for my device so I haven't gone through with it just yet. I'm sorry it's not my phone so I don't want to mess it up even further. I've read about the part with it being in recovery mode with the volume up + power option but I'm at work and haven't tried that yet but I doubt that will work since the phone is clean. Can u please be a little more specific there's 99 pages that I have to go through for that sticky. If u can't it's ok I'll just have to go through it next week. Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction and giving me some hope.

ok so i tried the link but im always stuck with part A. When i go into fastboot and then try the command "fastboot devices" it hangs on waiting for the device. I can't see the device anywhere on my computer to install the fastboot drivers as instructed by 1wayjonny in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1
Am i missing something here? i did everything in the other steps such as downloading all the files into the same directory and everything. Im using windows 7 and i updated all my drivers for usb and even tried different usb cables including the original and usb2.0 and 3,0 ports but still no dice. I also tried it on windows 8 and got the nada.

You reboot the device into bootloader/fastboot mode, then you connect the USB, and there's no sign at all that a USB device has been installed?
Remove all drivers, reboot, and start over. Get a tool for Windows that allows you to really dig on all of the installed drivers and remove all Nexus devices drivers permanently. Rant: Umm, Windows sucks bad. Thanks Linus!

I've done it both ways just to ensure it wasn't something that simple. I uninstalled all drivers i can possibly find theres non no where i used CC to look for more and device deview and even unistalled the java se and eclipse and android SDK and all the packages and installed them again and still nothing. My nexus 4 however recognizes both in adb and fastboot ......

Well, maybe you could try omapflash. If you can't get several PCs to see the device, then something's wrong with the USB port?
Not even on Linux?

I did a little looking up about omapflash and from what i can see so far there needs to be drivers installed first. I may be wrong but i have to do some more research on it and i dont have a linux pc my laptop is down thanks to a power pin connector pin being pulled out. and i dont know if the device port is good or bad i can get a charge but that doesnt mean its fine. What if i get another device and install drivers via that and then try to get it to recognize? would that work?

To really make sure that the issue isn't on the host side but rather the USB port on the device? Yeah, that would rule it out.
Also, I just remembered: you're not using the USB ports of your PC case are you? Make sure you're using the motherboards' own USB ports.

Thats all it would do?! What about making me able to install the drivers and get the phone to be recognized? No wont work im dreaming?
And no im not using case ports at all i use them for charging and thats all i know at least that those arent reliable.

Windows 8 64-bit...drivers install...stuck
even I am stuck on the same roadblock. have my GNex stuck on the google logo. can access recovery mode though (TWRP 2.5.0.0). Now i just upgraded my PC to Windows 8 64-bit and cant seem to be able to install drivers.
the problem is that almost all the methods require:
1. GNex to be connected with USB Debugging ON
2. install ADB Drivers
3. get into Fastboot or Recovery
4. install Bootloader Drivers
since i cant get past the Google logo on my GNex...i cant perform Steps 1 & 2.
and if i directly try to install the bootloader drivers the OS returns an error (yellow exclamation next to the installed driver)
Added pictures to help explain better.
Thnx in advance.

SOLVED (Dont know how but it worked):
1. Factory reset (TWRP)
2. Installed an old ROM which was already on the GNex
3. Restart...it gets stuck at the Google logo...remove battery
4. TWRP - Factory reset
5. reboot...

[Q] G2 stuck at boot logo no download mode no recovery device manager wont recognize

ok i see lots of threads about G2 stuck at LG logo with no download mode etc but none specific to my situation so figured id start my own.
my phone is stuck at the lg logo when i try to boot, when i try to go to download mode it shows the blue dots but windows, flash tool, nothing will recognize the phone as being plugged in, and not even the little sound windows makes when a usb device is plugged in, its been a little while so i cant remember EXACTLY what the last thing i did that bricked it was, something i did on command line with aboot something, i can try to dig it up if absolutely necessary but it would take some digging...when i try to boot into recovery it freezes at the "loading recovery screen, when i try to go to download mode it sticks at the blue dots and wont respond to anything, when i try to do a factory hard data reset it says "hard reset processing" or something similar then freezes there, ive tried reinstalling the drivers, using different pcs, read through countless threads, but have had no luck, any ideas what i can do to unbrick my brand new g2?? thanks in advance

This is what i would do....looks like your cable works, looks like you know how to get into Download and Recovery Mode. You have to get it to be detected, if it boots into Download mode it should work. Try re-installing the drivers.

with the phone off (completely), hold volume button (up i believe), and plug usb into computer. This should bring up download mode. If volume up doesnt work, try volume down. If you get just to the dots, then your download mode is broken.

was just about to start a new thread but didn't want to get into trouble..anyway I am in need of some assistance please.my ls980 has been bricked for some time now been searching all over the internet for a solution to be stuck back at square one.found this video on youtube which is pretty much exactly what my phone is doing.I have used lg flash tool to revert to stock and still nothing I lost root doing that but last night,I managed to regain root access I have no idea how but it happened when i clicked ioroot batch file i went into download mode and it stated bottom left ROOTED in red so i managed that but that is it still doing what is being shown in the video its on youtube

[Q] Boot loop: Can't enter Firmware Upgrade mode

I'm posting a question as I've spent days searching with no luck.
I have an LG G3 that while in normal use got very hot and turned off. Now it gets stuck at the LG logo and doesn't boot. I tried a normal factory reset but this just goes back to the LG logo and nothing happens.
So I'm trying to get into the download mode "Firmware Upgrade" screen to flash the stock rom. I hold down volume Up, and plug in the USB and it gets to the little "Download Mode" icon but does not continue to "Firmware Upgrade" and the computer (I've tried 3 different systems) wont recognize the phone.
Interestingly at some point while being in download mode it switched to fastboot, I have no idea how this happened but I was able to run commands on the phone using fastboot.exe, however I have not been able to get back to fastboot since.
Also I'd really like to be able to recover the data on the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

do you installed latest official lg drivers for your phone and if you have old drivers installed then uninstall these und install the newer and then reboot your computer.

I hope not, this phone was purchased in Media Markt in Germany and it's not covered by warranty here. LG Australia said it would cost up to $260 for them to fix it and the phone could possibly be downgraded if the mainboard needs to be replaced. I don't know if it would be possible to claim the German warranty.

You need to put your phone into download mode, once there, plug it into the computer. From there you should be able to flash.
If not then, see below.
I had the same issue, couldn't get past bootscreen, and downloadmode wasen't available for me either. I had to send it back to get repaired, they replaced the motherboard which gave me a new imei.

Flash without a PC

Sorry If this is covered somewhere else but I've tried a number of search queries and haven't found anything.
My issue is that I have a rooted verizon LGG4 that has started acting up quite a bit. I would like to flash back to a stock kdz but because of the glitches with the current software my PC will not recognize the phone. I have used different usb cords and even had the port itself checked out and the tech said there was nothing wrong with it that he could tell. So I believe the issue is with the software. Is there anyway to flash the phone back with out a PC?
Thanks

KDZ you need pc.. maybe format or try another PC.

I have tried 2 different PC's. None of them work with this phone but all work with another G4 no problem. I do have access to img and bin files but I'm still not sure how I could use them as all I have ever used to flash is LGUP on my PC and the C promt. If i could just figure out something to fix the USB issue I'd have it made otherwise I need to figure out a way to flash from the phone itself.

Have you tried lgup it is good for these types of issues.....
When I had issues I found that with lgup he best way is leave your device plugged in and pull the battery out and problem solved.....

Does ure pc reconize device at all. Whats it say in device manager.
Have u checked your drivers?
I use the old lgflash tool from lg g2. Also works great for messed up situations.
Also have you tried booting in download mode to see if its reconized. Bad firmware shouldnt affect dl mode connections

LGUp is actually the program I prefer to use and it can't find my device any longer.
The PC will charge the phone and that's it. Current drivers and all but still says unrecognized device in the device manager. I have a couple of g4s that work just fine I might just start overwriting system files with working ones from the other devices until I figure out which one is corrupted.

Try FlashFire from playstore. It can flash from within android. Never used it though..
And sorry to ask this but have you tried to change the connection mode (swipe down and change to ptp)?
