Hi there,
I've been trying to fix this issue for a while now and I haven't seen any guides on my particular issue.
Basically what's going on is I tried doing a factory reset on the phone while having cyanogenmod flashed and when it booted, it would keep booting up in the recovery.
There seem to be no backups or roms on the phone.
Now here's the kicker, when I try using the Nexus root toolkit, it doesn't recognize my device whatsoever. I've uninstalled the drivers fully and reinstalled them and still nothing.
When I plug the phone in, it doesn't show up as an external source (other than in the device manager with a "!" by 'galaxy nexus'), so I can't just put a ROM on there and try flashing that.
I'm stuck. I have no idea what I can do to get this back up & running.
It's a GSM phone, being from Canada I believe it to be Yakju...
Anybody have any ideas? I really need this phone to start working!!
Have you tried the method in this tutorial?
you may bring ti back to samsung customer service.

So I am the proud owner of a shiny, new Galaxy Nexus (GSM). Unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery and was doing great. Today I decided to install the volume fix. Installed the zip through recovery, completed and rebooted. The phone got stuck in a bootloop over and over and over and over and would not boot Android at all. Did a ton of research here and everywhere and, in a panic, I booted into CWM recovery, reset the cache & did a full factory reset. NOW, the phone will not go past the Google bootscreen with the unlock symbol, no matter what I do. AND, I can't even flash the original google image because I can't get in to set USB debugging so my computer won't even recognize the phone (FYI, I'm on a Mac). I am at a complete loss and don't know what to do. If I could only get the computer to recognize the phone I could flash the original google image through Terminal, but alas, I can't. Any ideas? If I can somehow get this phone back up and running I would be eternally grateful. For now, I think I may be SOL. Thanks....
This happened to me, I was not able to solve the issue, even though I could push and pull data to and from the device via ADB. I could still not get past the google logo. I decided to lock the boot loader again and return to the store for a new device.

One more post like this in Dev section and you'll be banned for 3 weeks
I've done about 3 hours of research on this forum and the internet in general, and I can't seem to find a situation like the one I'm in. I'm not particularly savvy at all of this, but have successfully rooted a few phones and have played with a variety of ROMs for both tablet and phone. I have the Android SDK installed, the drivers for my phone installed on my computer, PDANet, the works. I'm on a Windows 7 laptop.
I had a new JRO03L ROM build for my verizon GNex flashed, and was getting quicker than expected battery drain. So I decided to flash a custom kernel. I must have flashed the incorrect version of this kernel.
When I rebooted after flashing the kernel in CWM, it went into a bootloop on the Google screen. I waited an hour, pulled the battery and tried to boot into hboot (volume down+power button). Lo and behold, I can't get back into CWM! I have no option to enter recovery, I'm only able to start the boot process.
So I plug it into my computer, hoping that I might be able to use the GNex Toolkit (v7.8) to restore to stock and start over, or even just try to use fastboot to ... do something - anything! - and my computer doesn't recognize my phone when in hboot. When in hboot, my device manager recognizes the phone as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" and as a modem. When I start the boot process and it is bootlooping, my computer recognizes it as my phone, but can't install the drivers properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if you can get me back to stock. I have a nandroid backup on my SDCard; I just need to be able to get to it and flash it. I would be forever in your debt if you can help me out! Thank you in advance!

Post three of my guide.
Push another rom.zip to your phone and flash it (if you don't already have one there).
If you have one...You're not getting into the correct menu.
You're in ODIN.
Bootloader/Recovery is BOTH volume buttons.

Thank you. I'm an idiot. It's been a long while since I've put this into recovery via physical buttons.
By the way, your guide is excellent. How have I not stumbled across this?
Basically, I have nothing on my Galaxy Nexus (rooted and unlocked), no ROMS no backups, nothing. I've been trying absolutely everything and I don't know how I could get it to work. I have ClockworkMod Recovery and I've tried wipe data/factory reset then rebooted the system and it still gets stuck on the Google screen with the unlock symbol under it. The backups also don't work (backup, restore, image, restart, stuck on google screen) So... does anybody know what I can do to get past the google screen.
P.S I've tried to connect it to the computer and it doesn't show up in computer/ doesn't install (windows 8) I have the Universal Naked Driver installed and it shows up in devices but when I click it, it just shows the properties.

Just to clarify, have you tried moving a freshly downloaded ROM from a computer to the phone in CWM and flashing the ROM from CWM?
What was the last thing you did on it while it was working? Did it stop working because of damage (drops, water, etc)? If you can't get it to show up on your computer then there is no way to use the toolkit to unroot and wipe. I will be more then happy to try to help you out cause I really hate when things don't work. I'm just not sure what would cause your phone to just... die!
What were u doing when u phone stopped working. Where u flashing a ROM, kernel, installing an app, u dropped it? If u gnex shows up under Device Manager(windows), try with the gnex toolkit to flash stock.

I was flashing a Kernel (just realised now... so it wasn't a ROM) and it just got stuck on the google screen :/ The kernal is still there, I think it's the franco nightly kernel and it's the wrong one, it's for JB when I should have used the ICS one (4.0.4). If you're wondering why I flashed the JB one, it was an accident :/ I had both the kernels and copied the wrong one.
Forgot to add, the device doesn't show up or doesn't get recognised by the toolkit :/
A way to fix it would be to install fastboot on your computer and boot your phone into boot manager and then use fastboot to boot the correct kernel via USB. There are how to's on how to go about this. Once you get it up and running you can figure out what else might be wrong. Not a hard fix, just a little time.
I got it to work! There was something weird going on with the phone connecting to my laptop, basically, it only shows up on one of the USB ports which is.. odd. Anyway I just used fastboot and pushed the correct kernel onto the "sd card" of it. Thanks for everything ^^
Hi there,
I'm not new to rooting and flashing devices, but something went wrong during my last root. I was using CWM to root the most recent paranoid android rom, a 4.4 rom, and after I rebooted, the device started normal and works fine. However, it's completely lost root AND has no recovery. Just the little opened up android guy with his red triangle.
I've tried using the toolkit, but the ADB drivers just are not being recognized. I've tried all of the driver options, and it says that it worked, but when I run the driver test it says failed. When I connect the device as MTP, it shows up as having recognized the device, but I can't actually access the device from the computer. When I try fastboot, nothing happens. The device just goes black and sits like that until I hold the power button down for awhile.
So, the toolkit can't get me back to stock, at least not any way I've tried. And since I can't install a recovery, I can't flash a new rom or stock.
I guess it could be worse, as the device does still work, but I want it fully functional.
Does anyone have any solutions?
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question.
Thanks in advanced!

Few things:
try another soft reset. power the device on, and then hold the power button down until it restarts.
download superuser/supersu to see if there actually is no root. sometimes it's just being difficult and says there is no root.
Following that, try downloading ROM manager and seeing if it'll flash the recovery.
Hello,
I have an HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) that I had a friend root (he has a PC, I have a Mac, plus he's done it before) and all was going well until I installed a rooted app (I think it was Super SU or something) and my phone went into a boot loop, showing nothing but the HTC logo when I tried to turn it on. I panicked, even though it wasn't the end of the world, as I had just bought this phone from a classifieds source and had no personal info/pictures/contacts/anything on it yet.
However, I am still stuck with a soft bricked phone. My friend suggested going into recovery mode and rebooting (see attached picture) but it didn't help. Then he tried side-loading a ROM onto the device, but his computer (both of them, PCs, and even his brother's PC for good measure) didn't show it recognized the phone anywhere in the file system. And he said he looked EVERYWHERE and tried everything. Then he tried downloading HTC's own proprietary system for installing a custom ROM (I forget what it's called) but his PC wouldn't recognize it, so he couldn't use it either). He all but gave up on trying to restore my phone to how it was after he ran into the last of these problems.
I, however, refuse to believe that with the wealth of knowledge at my disposal via the internet that there is no way to fix this, even though I have a Mac. Is there ANYONE who's patient and Terminal-savvy that can help me get my M8 back to normal working condition? I don't even care about rooting it anymore. Thanks in advance for your instructions/suggestions.
I would just go into TWRP and mount the internal storage as usb, copy a ROM to the phone, umount internal storage and do a full wipe and install the ROM.
Do you want Stock, modified stock, CM??, GPE? you just need to figure out which version of ROM you want.
I think I already tried this...
I was just trying to install the stock firmware via a micro USB but the phone wouldn't recognize it on the micro USB stick in TWRP, is there a reason for this? As I'm assuming a restore to stock firmware is impossible if it can't recognize or read the firmware I'm trying to restore it to. Thank you
Hello? Anyone?
