Yeah I thought about that. Do I just go through the sdk installation process again?
tried reinstalling the android sdk still no luck. i will pay someone for a fix.
going to reformat my computer now and just start all over. just so weird i can run adb and shells, just only fastboot is giving me ****.

[Q] Latest safe/best method to root Galaxy Nexus?

Hi guys, I know there are a number of guides out there, but I found that a lot of people are running in to the bootloop issue by using certain methods to root (ie the "ADB Method").
So what is the current safest/best method to root?

Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery clockworkmodrecovery.img
(reboot recovery)
adb push su.zip /sdcard/
(reboot recovery)
(flash su.zip in recovery)
Don't bother with any of the one-click methods or anything like that. The hardest part is making sure you get your adb drivers set up correctly, and then you're good to go.

This is about as easy and safe as it gets-
lots of options to do what you need, including removing root.. Just install it and take a look around without hooking your phone up so you dont accidently do some damage.

What codesplice said in post #2.

Thanks for the replies! Will try codesplice's method, is there a link/thread for the latest Samsung drivers? Is using Universal Naked Driver ok?
P.S there doesn't seem to be a way to rep/thank posts

Yes those drivers will work. Make sure you boot your device into fastboot mode by hold both volume up and volume down an press the power button, then plug into you computer and install the drivers.
Then, when you unlock, don't forget that it will wipe your data/settings.

Personally I used the one-click method. I found this easy enough but you need to really pay attention when you use it or you won't understand what to do...
I did it the 'proper' way with my previous phone and I found it difficult but once you know what to do, you could easily do it again.
If this is your first time rooting a phone, I would do it the way that codesplice says, if not, take the easy route!

I just started the rooting process, and I actually didn't have to manually install any drivers.
I set my phone to fastboot mode, plugged it in and they installed automatically and fastboot recognized my phone (shows serial number in cmd when I launch fastboot.exe). Is this normal? or should I uninstall the drivers and manually install them?
Note: My device manager shows:
Android device
|__Android ADB Interface

Got root
I think windows now installs all the right drivers automatically..

It's supposed to, it just doesn't always work. Glad to hear you got Mission Accomplished though - and I hope you learned just a wee bit about the process along the way. Being at least familiar with fastboot and adb will help you significantly if you run into problems down the road.

This was my first attempt at rooting and I'm glad it went smooth, I'm not a complete noob as I do have some Linux background, but I'm completely new to the smartphone thing so my knowledge of apps and ROMs and how they integrate in the device is very limited.
Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated! Great community you have hear

[Q] Galaxy Nexus kinda bricked, need help!

Hey guys
Ok so I have a bit of a tricky problem. I got in over my head on my nexus and tried to install ubuntu mobile with a friend. Suffice to say things didn't go so great and now my nexus wont boot, when i turn the phone on it sits on the Google screen. To make matters worse, no computer I plug the phone into can see the device. The strange thing is I can still boot to cwm recovery mode but there is no longer an android image to flash from and I can't load one back on.
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Download the factory image from here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jdq39-factory-5e273f02.tgz. Unzip the downloaded file and you would see a file "flash all.bat". Open this file and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Done! You have flashed factory image.:good:

No it is definitely a driver issue. Uninstall the drivers you have installed for the galaxy nexus. Then install these.

Forgive my ignorance, but how to do install those files?

If you uninstall all galaxy nexus drivers in device manager, and Windows doesn't at least tell you it needs drivers when you plug your phone in, then you either have a bad cable or a very messed up phone. In that case you'd have a hard time installing universal naked drivers. There's something called 'OMAP flash' you might want to search for and ask about. All I remember reading is that some people have used it to recover their phones in situations like yours. Never used it myself. Yet. You might want to ask efrant. He knows everything.

[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.

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 ......

Anything at all? Anyone?

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.

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] Can my N7(2013) still be saved?

Hi, my N7 is bricked and I wanted to fix it.
I tried to flash ROM but couldn't do it since my computer wont recognize my N7 (except in Recovery Mode-> Sideload).
I think it has something to do with the "developer options -> need to check USB Debugging", however, I can't do that since my phone when turned on, Google Logo appears, then afterwards, BLACK SCREEN (and now in a loop, but there is no X logo just plain black).
My phone is rooted & unlocked. Out of curiousity (My fault), I bricked my N7.
I've read a lot of article on how to unbrick my N7 and I think I now know how to do it- through Android SDK/ADB Tool. I've also read the a guide on how to change drivers (and tried it in all possible ways I can think of), and it did install the driver. However searching my N7 through ADB Tool doesn't go through.
adb devices
List of devices attached
(**nothing follows**)
But if I turn my N7 to Recovery Mode->apply update from adb:
will show the result:
adb devices
List of devices attached
**serial number** sideload
I don't know what other ways in order to unbrick my N7.
I hope you can help me with it.

You can enter bootloader, right? Then try to use fastboot to flash a new rom.

Use wugs program but tick tablet is in bootloop.

Can you boot a brick in to recovery mode? No...so you aren't bricked...

Thanks for the info man!

I tried, but N7 isn't recognized by PC. So the main problem is really how to make my N7 recognized by PC (ADB/bootloader).
But problem fixed now. Thanks!

Before I fixed my N7, this is what I tried. But the problem is, PC wont recognize/find my N7 when I do:
adb devices nor fastboot devices
But, I already fixed my problem. Thanks for the response! Greatly appreciate it!
