[Q] gahhhhhhh! please please help

i rooted my galaxy nexus last night, and today i was trying to put a rom on it, i went to wipe the cache, and now it wont boot past the google screen and im freaking out!

Before you flashed did you wipe system? Huh I bet not even so you only mention wipe cache....what about data , dalvik ?
Did you read directions in the op for the ROM?

it told me to wipe to factory, i tried doing that and it just froze, and now it wont boot. im trying to figure all this out but im a little over my head unfortunately.

Try booting into recovery and then wiping and flashing your ROM

i was trying to flash the codename android 1.6 rom, i cant post the link it wont let me

when i boot into recovery mode, it shows a droid with its chest open and a red exclamation point

I've never heard of that ROM but in fastboot will it let you use your volume and power keys to navigate to recovery? If not, try using fastboot commands on the computer to get into recovery (if you can? I'm not too acquainted with fastboot commands)

i can get into recovery but then it shows the droid with the red alert

That's fastboot. Try looking into fastboot commands and see if any command will let you boot into recovery from there.

You buggered the boot image... Just flash it again, via fastboot...
They are normally in .Franco kernels...

you mean through terminal and stuff? my knowledge to this stuff is still pretty basic so im trying to grasp all of this

Yes. Fastboot is used, in CMD (Windows) Gnome terminal (Ubuntu/Linux distributions) and the Mac OS terminal...
You need to install the ADB drivers and download the fastboot/adb files first, though (Check the Windows 8 thread (In my signature), all you need is in there...
Or, download a .Franco kernel (Check the developement section, for your device (GSM/verizon/Sprint) and search the forum...

i did fastboot and all that stuff on my laptop at home(the one i rooted it with), do i basically need to redo all of that?

Yes, but just flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot %Userprofile%\Downloads\<Whatever the file is named>.img

No, that is not fastboot. That is recovery. He has the stock recovery flashed, which is the Android lying on its back with a red exclamation point.

You need to flash CWM before you do anything else. Get it from the link in my signature and flash it in fastboot. Then boot into CWM, do a wipe, and re-flash the ROM you want.

No, he hasn't been there, and obviously you didn't understand that.
If he sees the Android lying on his back with the red ! then he has the STOCK recovery flashed, not CWM.

CWM is flashed, it's installing CND (Or has installed) but whatever we do, it's a bootloop. lol) I'm doing everything, with him, whilst he's at work, via TV ^^
I'm seing exactly everything, what is happening, on the computer. I flashed everything myself...

Root Galaxy Nexus under Jelly Bean

Hi, I need help to root my Galaxy Nexus. Since I updated to Jelly Jean Android 4.1, my root (with SuperUser) doesn't work.

That's peculiar. I opened SuperSU after the first flash and I also received the message to update my binaries as well, but it worked flawlessly.

lost recovery/root
I too flashed the Jelly Bean rom in a hurry...it took away CWM and root access. SU can't update the binaries and I can't get into recovery to do anything. How can I downgrade back to ICS and install the rooted rom from the XDA thread? Extremely grateful for help with this.

thank you as it works
hi, there,
Good morning.
Installed Jelly Bean into my galaxy nexus last night within minutes
Found this thread and downloaded Super SU. Flashed it in within a minute and had no error messages about upgrading binaries or such.
Tried it out by renaming /system/bug_mailer.sh (pesky whiner script) to something else and it works
Thank you, all

I've been watching the fastboot problem with a little concern, and decided I'm not going to try Jelly Bean until more is known. Pondering this, the only thing I can think of is to try Odin when root and CWM is gone.

Okay. Well if you have access to adb and fastboot and your computer recognizes your phone being plugged in you're golden. Download Superuser or SuperSU to your SD card. Turn on USB debugging. Plug your phone into your computer. Boot into your bootloader (either with Power + Volume down + volume up from phone being off) or adb reboot bootloader in terminal. Then you will start using fastboot commands. Type in "fastboot flash recoveryname" (you can use any recover you want, CWM, TWRP, etc.) Then boot into recovery (navigate to recovery in boot loader by pressing up or down volume keys) then flash superuser. Or if you want to go back to an earlier nandroid backup before you flashed JB, that's fine too...

Okay. "Recovery Mode" you're referring to is the bootloader. This is the one with the options where you can "restart bootloader, restart recovery, etc." "Fastboot" you're referring to is the stock recovery. You're saying when you either enter the bootloader or stock recovery, your phone shuts off?

HTC M8 AT&T
I have been dealing with this all morning and I am about to blow my brains out.
I thought i was running twrp but was instead running CWM.
Previously had Cyanogen Mod working fine on the phone no issue. Just wanted android instead
Tried to install Android Revolution from zip. Boom done. Reboot
Encryption. Try all 10 passwords i EVER use a couple hundred times it seems.
Fail. So i go back to CWM and try to reset phone to factoy. Gives me error "unknown volume for path /sd-ext/
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format
Data Wipe Complete
Boot up still asks for password try a hundred times again. Still nothing
Boot into fastboot to attempt to put TWRP on it. and no computer sees my phone in fastboot.
Any ideas how to save my phone?

Do you a nandroid backup? You can restore your phone and try one more time.

Adb won't respond unless you sideload or boot Into os.
Check your usb cable, make sure it's the original cable and you have fastboot drivers installed.

From what I seen you going to need to format the sd. You can see if twrp will format it but if that don't work try stock recovery and do a factory reset in bootloader.

As said if you get fastboot working you can flash a custom recovery or stock. You can then download a stock nandroid back up from the stock backups thread then flash the required backup from custom recovery.
All explained in that thread.

Hold down the power button and the vol. up button for 20 seconds or so.
As soon as it goes dead, switch from vol. up to vol. down.

Does anyone have a Nandroid Backup I could Use for the Z00AD?

Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.

Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems I ADB recognizes the device with CWM running. Now I gotta see where to go from there.

Now I've encountered problem number 2: I didn't allow USB debugging for the computer I'm using (USB debugging is ticked in the settings [or at least I think it is], but it's not authorized for my PC). So here's the question: Can I authorize it through Minimal ADB and Fastboot?

Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?

Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.

Tried that. Doesn't work. Like I said, it keeps booting into the psudo-recovery mode thing. I can't even boot into the bootloader from there.

Have u tried to boot into Fastboot from your Cm recovery? If not, there is a way to make the stock firmware flushable by twrp or cm recovery. I don't feel like typing the whole process but if u look around the forum for a sec u should find it pretty easily. Once u do that, everything will be factory again.

I have tried booting from CWM, but TWRP overrides it still. I'll look into flashing stock firmware through CWM though.
