since you didn't do a Android your basically screwed so all you data is gone you only hope is to transfer a file through fastboot(can you even do that?) Or boot to Odin mode and flash a stock image

GSM or LTE Gnex? What ROM were you running?
Golden rule: Do a backup before doing anything to your phone!
Now all you can do is to download EXACTLY same ROM as you were using by now, wipe cache/dalvik-cache, flash this ROM once again and hope that i'll boot. If it won't you'll have to wipe /data is well.

ouch... softbrick.
put your phone down.
take a deep breath or two.
If you are old enough, grab a beer and relax for a bit. Think calming thoughts.
Now, start learning about how to mod your GNex. We can help.
Here's your First assignment:
find out if you still have a bootloader by booting into fastboot mode. Report back with your findings and a screenshot!

Still have a bootloader? Are you serious? You need to learn how to use an android device as well.
To the OP: Do a factory reset in Clockwork and go to mounts
and format /system. Flash the ROM zip. Profit.
Absolutely serious. Have you been reading this thread? The OP needs to start at ground zero and stop just trying every tool he/she sees. My purpose was to get this person to do some research and I was establishing a knowledge baseline. One plan I was considering was to help the OP install the GNex toolkit then locate stock images and obtain a working build. Your cryptic one liner bit should prove vastly more useful to this guy though. I'll let you have at it and go back to my dev work. lol at least this post was a good way to make sure gapps/root capabilities are properly cooked into my latest test build ....

U r right i am not good in android but i tried to be and this happens, meanwhile nothing shows after i start the device it shows the !!!! mark with device the PC logo,this happens due to ODin actually the SUMSUNG ADB interface shows ! mark because i cant debug from device even no bootloader works any more thnkz for replying
*facepalm*
OP, you are holding it wrong.
I can think of at least 2 ways to recover from a situation like this. Both are well described in these forums (search works 99% of the time).
....
Oh come on, you don't have the zip of the last rom you flashed, get another one, hey, its free right? **** we dont know nothing about but we'll flash it anyways!
Man...If you have cwm recovery, you're safe. No need to go messing with fastboot (forget odin) just yet. Now stop wasting everybody's time and learn to help yourself.
Here's a few tags to get you started:
cwm, recovery, adb, bootloader, fastboot

i tried more than one day on this issue its only starts with !!! mark on it nothing else, i have attached the pic i cant access any bootloader or any cwm or any thing all i did with Odin and stuck to attached pic even i start the device its shows the same pic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdM2M8Nz6QQ this I used on Odin
thnkzz
As I suspected earlier, it appears that the OP may have trashed his bootloader partition when he tried using Odin to flash the 4.0.2 factory image (which includes a bootloader). At one point he had CWM but not any more since he can't boot to the recovery partition.
Another possibility is that the Odin tool itself places the device in this mode and it can't be manually reverted by starting up in fastboot mode. Looking at the picture, it literally appears that the phone is saying that a flashing operation is half finished but the phone has lost the PC connection... This would be a lot like what I've experienced with iPhones.
In either case, I can deduce that Odin is the tool to use to clear this softbrick.
Hopefully, it'll be flame-off now Sdobron. Perhaps you might want to help out here since I'm not up to speed on the Odin tool myself and would like to learn more about it.
@salym: I know this may be redundant but I need to establish your problem baseline empirically. Once again, can you verify that when you hold vol down/vol up then press power that you get the image you posted?
Use Fastboot!
Dude, it looks like your problem is with crappy boot sector.
While turning on your phone, hold both volume up and volume down buttons, and long press power button untill you feel single vibrate feedback.
Then connect your phone to the computer via USB, and if it doesn't detect drivers, google "samsung android usb driver". Additionally you can install PDANet application (X64 or x86 depending on you system).
THen download Fastboot - there are plenty of instructions how to flash it, and flash stock images (that come with radio, boot sector, rom itself, etc) - there are also plenty of discussions about how to do it. PM if you have any other questions!
This thread is here to inform people that if they try to flash anything through rom tools of any type they might "brick" or "soft brick" their phone or have a bootloader loop with samsung logo as I do. As of right now I am working on unsoftbricking my phone because I tryed flashing fonts and a bootloading screen. While the chance there is that it will softbrick vs flashing successfully.since I had several flash fonts go off without a problem and just never stuck, I assumed everything was ok. After deleting my current rom and going back to my stock rom i thought back at what steps i took to arrive at my bootloader loop it was after a few apps I downloaded from the market.Oden Flasher (not saying in anyway that was the cause) was one of them (blue android with black lighting down the middle). Now I am unsure if this is the "root" cause (pun intended, for those that think im talking about root access im not its just a joke). I am tyring to load a stock rom ATM via "Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit v2.3.0". So far no luck and it still stays at the samsung screen. I can get into Odin mode and get into recovery mode. when i try to manually load a rom i get e: signature verification failed and it aborts install. the only answer i have found was from an s2 device to basically create and load a temp recovery made by adb programing. I beleive i can do it but i havent seen anything on the SIII device for sprint and really dont want to try it unless i know that is the right way to go. Ill keep everyone posted so if they have or had the same problem this might be an answer. I will gladly take advice from someone with the right knowlege please. Thank you.
***UPDATE*** IM STILL LEARNING AND I HAVE CONTINUALLY SEARCHED THESE FORUMS FOR ANSWERS UNSURE OF.
***UPDATE*** INSURE YOUR PHONE!!!
I was finally able to recover a new phone. Sprint was actually the one that suggested this to me...
If you screw up your phone and don’t have insurance to replace the one bricked or soft brick revert back to a prior model phone that you used past before your Samsung galaxy s3. Then activate your old phone. Activate insurance when you complete activation wait a day or two and bring in the one you messed up and have it replaced by acting as if you have no idea what happened. Tell them a friend that used to work for sprint tried to fix the phone and you have no idea if it was rooted or have any clue what root is and that he was using Odin to try and fix it (ONLY if they ask it was ever rooted even then you should act as if you have no clue). They should replace the device. This is not 100% guarantee but it worked for me. For all of you who messed up like I did I hope this information helps you acquire a new or factory refurbished phone. Good luck. I have made sure to back up every aspect of the phone as I was excited to receive this new device I knew nothing about and realized out of my own stupidity I only did a nandroid back up and it would never flash back because of careless mistakes and greedy want to have another cool rom all the time.
Thank you to all of you who devoted some time to help me with my stupidity!
I'm trying to figure out why you were trying to use Rom toolbox to change your boot logo.........
You clearly got this screen before it let you attempt changing it.....which device did you choose???
Rom toolbox is a very noob friendly way of doing small mods and the ONLY thing that is going to brick you under the "interface" menu is going to be the boot logo changer, and you STILL have to intentionally select a device you are not using to do it........
^^^Add that info to your OP so everyone knows you tried to flash it even tho it clearly shows not S3 compatibility

done that nothing has happend. so when i finally was able to get back into my bootloader (after i have already restored it by flashing a boot image... even though i apperently dont know how to do that) everytime i tryed to manually flash the rom i got a sig ver fail. Im having a hard time trying to get a soft brick (sorry for the confusion im not good on terminologies) ive researched and come up with an answer from the s2 device when it comes to verification but i feel its a bit risky by loading a temp boot and then restoring cwm boot (actually making a temp bootloading program looks fun to me and plausable) but learning how to do all this is fun and experimental since i cant find a single post on what to do about my situation. im not just doing it to do it. i could just go buy a new phone but Im doing all this to learn it. i would appriciate it if people would stop harrassing me and just help me since i am willing to learn.

Ive flashed a few times using font flashes but everytime i tryed it i always restored my main back up first

How the heck are you guys messing up switching fonts with RomToolbox. Never once had an issue and have changed it about once a week as the rom i'm on updates.
If you ODIN'd back to stock, it should work.
Did you ensure that everything got flashed in ODIN? Make sure you're flashing system, data, user data, boot/kernel etc.
Then repartition in Odin and flash those again.
It should work after rebooting. If it doesn't, I suspect its hardware failure and that you can get it replaced by going into the store.

That seems like a solid course of action. Make sure you play dumb when you bring it into the store - Just say you left it on your nightstand, the charger wasn't plugged in, but it still wouldn't get past the boot screen in the morning.
The regular procedure is that they take out battery, reboot, check water damage, etc. without actually going into Download Mode.
Well... tbh I dont understand nothing. But try to abd install twrp2 instead CWM. And try to flash any ROM you have in your phone.
Sent from my phone...
Pull battery, reinsert, press and hold (in this order) vol (+), physical home button, then power. Hold all 3 until screen blinks a couple times, let off of power button but continue to hold vol (+) and Home. If you have a custom recovery, this should get you there.......
Problem being, if like u said in op you also flashed a boot logo(splash screen)different than boot animation - the boot logo is earlier in the boot process than recovery and when it gets corrupted, recovery options don't apply because the device won't be able to access it since the boot process is corrupted before the recovery
If it was ONLY a font that got you here, then you WILL be able to access recovery. Fonts are flashed to the /system partition, and if there in a problem , /system is the final step in the boot process and CANNOT NO-WAY cause ANY harm early enough in the boot process to prevent you from accessing recovery. So give it a try.

The pic shows ROM toolbox font installer- highlighted is the default location for flashing the fonts
Below is root explorer showing the s3 filesystem fonts are in the correct directory as set as default for ROM toolbox.
So like I was saying, if it was just a font this is a very simple fix for you. Boot into recovery, flash a ROM which formats and writes /system, fixing any kind of error that installing a font could have caused
Personally if you have certain fonts you like to flash and after a successful change of fonts with what ever apps you use. I would then create a zip file with your fonts to flash in recovery when changing roms. Its what I have done without issue. I have even added the fonts folder to gapps for easy install

Thank you for your advice. Ill try that before I turn it in. If i dont have insurance they will still replace it if i act dumb right? Just incase I will make sure i have insurance before going in. Thanks for helping me everyone with my screw up i never had this issue with HTC evo's and ive rooted, and flashed 2 of them and other HTC varients with out an issue. this is the first samsung and i cant figure it out on my own!
I continue get e: signature verification failed every time i try to load my recovery image, stock sprint imgs (every official one i can find), and still get the message every time. Ive never had this issue with HTC.
Hi, my son has just infromed me that his HTC DESIRE HD is stuck on the HTC white startup screen, if you take the battery out & put it back in & hold the volume key when pressing the on button you do get in to the Bootloader (i think its called that) screen but we cant go any further. The phone has been hacked & has a custom rom installed on it but he cant remember with one.
If someone could explain what i need to do to get it working again i would be very gratefull & not worried what rom goes onit.

Insert a ROM into the SD Card! Go to the recovery through the bootloader. Full wipe and flash the new ROM! Tada
Sent from my Desire HD from Outer Space!!!
If you can get into the bootloader and the phone was on the stock ROM, you can pretty much reset it through the bootloader itself.
1. Reboot into Bootloader(Yes, the white screen with colorful text and options) by holding the Vol Down key while pressing the power button.
2. Navigate to the "Bootloader" option in that screen(Navigation can be done by pressing the Vol up/down keys) and select it(by pressing the power button).
3. You should see a screen with options like "Fastboot", "Recovery", etc.. Navigate to the "Factory Reset" option and select it by pressing the power button. Your phone should reset to factory setting and work fine(if it was on a stock ROM).
If it still doesn't work and you can get past the splashscreen into the bootanimation, I'm pretty sure you can flash an RUU. Its an executable file that installs the stock ROM on the phone. Get the appropriate one according to your region and carrier from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Start your phone, connect it to pc via cable. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your pc and then run the executable RUU on the PC. The rest I think you'll be able to manage via on-screen instructions.
Hope you solve your problem.
Oh and yeah this is not the correct section though.. Please request the moderator to move it to the Q&A or the General Section. Helps keep the forum organized.
Responsibility
To be honest, if your son is old enough to have a smartphone and smart enough with a computer to unlock a locked boot loader, he should be able to use Google
If I was him, I would Google "unbrick desire HD" if i was stuck, but I think he could fix it by loading a ROM, maybe jelly time, that's a nice stableish ROM, onto the sdcard and try rebooting recovery by doing the power volume button combo. If he is in able to reboot recovery, only boot loader, he could try using the fast boot commands from the android SDK. If he doesn't know what they are, he shouldn't have rooted his phone, I don't recommend rooting unless you know what each piece of software you install on PC or android does.
I've had this issue as well when I installed a rom with a wrong md5 hash. It also wiped the recovery which was strange. Finally I got it working by placing the PD98IMG file on my sd card which it automatically installs when you go the bootloader. So that might fix it.

^^this^^… really though, if you're stuck, try getting into recovery from the bootloader... if he rooted his phone then more than likely he has a custom recovery installed, such as clockworkmod, twrp, 4ext, etc... from there he can flash a new ROM, wipe his device of the one causing problems, etc... just follow on screen instructions. If he doesn't have a nandroid backup made (or any kind of backup you can restore from whatsoever) then just wipe everything and install JellyTime... download the latest release (a .zip file) from the thread (search DHD, JellyTime)... transfer onto his SD card, use the custom recovery to install from the SD card, and there ya go...

ok, Just follow what Teichopsia said. Ignore the rest of the comments as they only troll and won´t solve your issue. The main thing to know is how the phone was hacked. In bootloader, in the top left corner you see something like ACE PVT.....just find if you are S-OFF or S-ON.

Ok, just to be sure... Did you check the md5 sum on the JellyTime-R10 zip to make sure it downloaded correctly?
And when flashing the ROM, did you follow the instructions exactly in post #7 on the procedure thread you followed to root (flashing the boot.img separately)?
If you did both of those, try downloading a different ROM and flashing it, just to see if you can get it to work. If not, try going through the root process again step by step and make sure you didn't miss anything... At this point, you make also want to consider going through one of the guides to manually s-off after unlocking with htcdev, since flashing ROMs is easier if you're s-off.

100% Stock, Stuck at "X" Logo on boot. "Dead Android" w/ Exclamation (!) in Recovery
Can someone please help me, PLEASE!!
I just want to be able to download the data from my phone, I don't care about getting android working again right now, I just want to download my photos and videos from the phone. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus that's completely stock, including locked bootloader. I tried using the toolkit and I am able to have it see the device while it's in fastboot but I can't do any of the functions because it wants to unlock my bootloader which will erase all my data! I was just swapping the battery on my phone when this happened. I wasn't trying to do anything special, it was just supposed to be a normal boot up but it just got stuck on the "X". I'm running 4.1.1. My stock recovery shows a photo of a dead android and an exclamation point. It looks like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jF4CgOU8c...ASKg/m6YOuDRcs4g/s1600/AndroidRedTriangle.JPG
Can someone please help me? I will seriously send you a paypal for your time, just please help me the data from my phone. I am somewhat savvy, like I said...I am in fastboot, my drivers are installed, and the toolkit can recognize my phone without any issue.
Thank you soooo sooo much in advance!
Why don't you just boot into stock recovery and just wipe cache. Maybe some rogue app is preventing your boot up.
You will not lose any data by only wiping cache.

What steps should I take right now though?
Thank you again so much in advance.
Don't fear....
Even if you unlock your boot loader your data is not actually gone. But let's cross that bridge if we get there.
First things first: take your battery out, take your sim card out, put your sim card in and put your battery in. Boot up the phone.
If that doesn't fix you then the next thing to do is try safe mode. Power off the phone. Then, press the power button and BOTH (yes both) the volume up AND the volume down buttons. Hold them until the phone boots up.
If that doesn't work write back. Don't worry though. Your data is safe.

First, thank you so much for replying.
I should have been more clear in my original message, I took my battery out and sim card in and out over 10 times and I even let the phone sit there for 30 minutes while it was at the X animation to no avail.
I have now also attempted a safe mode boot 4 times with no luck. During my safe mode boot attempts, the phone vibrated a few times but the display just remained at the X animation. It even did it after I let go of the volume key. I'm not sure what to make of this but I attempted it twice with holding both volume keys down as soon as the "google" logo appeared and twice with just the volume down key as soon as the "google" logo appeared. Same thing all 4 times, just sits at the X animation.
What would you recommend as a next step to recover the data? I really only care about the DCIM folder, nothing else matters that much.

When you see this, press power+ vol up to get to the stock recovery menu. There is a wipe cache option there. It may take you a few tries to press both buttons at exactly the same time, but keep trying. No need to reboot in between tries.

Thank you for your reply. I was able to get there and I formatted my cache. After that completed I chose the option to reboot the phone. I didn't do anything special during that reboot like trying to hold the volume down button as well for safe mode, I just let it go. It sat at the "X" animation for about 15 minutes before I gave up and tried it again holding the down volume button, again...no luck. I tried it a third time with holding the down and up volume buttons, no luck.
Any other ideas? Again, I know I've said this a few times but believe me when I say...I really appreciate your guys' help.

I think you need to get into fastboot, unlock the bootloader (if it isn't already) and put a clean factory image on. You'll lose your data when you unlock, but there is a thread in this forum on recovering that information. If you're already unlocked, just flash the boot and system images individually - it may clean up whatever is corrupt.

I tried this, it recovered only 36 files out of a 28 GB data file, and the files it did recover were all just files that have been on the phone since I unlocked the bootloader, flashed a custom recovery and flashed a stock OS so I could boot up and do all this. Frankly it seems like the files recovered were all the ones that were on the phone since I flashed a rom, none of my previous data are there. I followed the instructions to a T. Am I doing something wrong? Is the recovery software limiting me somehow because I am not using the paid version?
You have been so kind and helpful thus far, please assist me in figuring out what else I can do.
Thank you!
How the hell..
You can unlock your bootloader using omap flash, doing so will not cause you to lose tour data..................................

No matter how many darn times I try or how many different recovery software suites out there I try, I am getting nothing back. This is so disappointing. Can anyone please recommend something to me? A better data recovery solution? A better way to extract the data from the phone? Anything. I am desperate. I am contemplating going to a legit data recovery center and paying the $500 cause I don't know what to do anymore but I don't even know if they'll be able to do anything.

You could have just transferred files using adb and then a factory reset on your phone with the recovery.
Hello guys !
I have done something terrible and phone is not booting up part recovery now.
I had rooted the phone with one-click universal method without any hasstles and then try to reboot into bootloader by pressing VolDown+Power button.
Eventually ended up rebooting in original android recovery. I tried rebooting with option in that but it was not responding.
While trying it out, I mistakenly wiped cache partition.
Now NO MATTER WHAT COMBINATION I TRY, phone doesn't boot up past the recovery.
Please help me sort out this mess. I need to sell the phone.

If you don't mind maybe loosing data, LGNPST back to stock, and try again.

I posted this in the other thread you asked about this in, but here it is:
I wipe my cache partition all the time. I am rooted but still locked (I don't think that will last much longer). Anyways, in the android recovery with jelly bean, I found that you no longer use the power button for selecting or confirming. It's now done using the menu button below your screen (on the right) . At least that's how it works for my phone.
I hope this works for you.

Mate.. after getting the phone booted up I installed FreeGee app from Play store to get bootloader unlocked and flash recovery , but downloading recovery stopped due to an error. So I rebooted the phone and since then Wifi is not detecting my home wifi network.
I then tried to do erase cache partition and even factory reset but nothing helped.
Do u know what else I can do to get it right ?
Cheers !
I haven't fully unlocked my phone yet. Only rooted it. However it sounds like you might have to LGNPST to set things right. Maybe someone else that is more knowledgeable with this issue could chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that might be your only option.
Sorry I'm not of much help for you on this one.

Thanks mate.. will try this
OK.. mate I tried the LGNPST method. Downloaded LGNPST and stock v9 bin file. Used it to flash the stock rom back to stock.
howvere even after full completion of the process without any errors , the phone stucks at LG logo forever. I have tried the process twice.
Is there something I might have missed. I followed the instruction to the line from the pastebin link. Do we have a different Dll for the stock rom then whats there in the LGNPST repository named LS970_LGNPST.dll or something ?
Hopefully this will get you going.
If you downgraded from ZVB to ZV9 heres some needed info:
If you're stuck at the 4glte screen: To get to stock recovery - Power off phone. You need to hold power button for about 20 sec to get it to turn off. Then press and hold vol down+power - The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediatly let go when the capacitive lights turn on.
It takes a few seconds to work. Data wipe/Factory reset. Reboot.
And if you happen to reboot into recovery after this upgrade? Use the "menu" button on the led lights (far right when holding it) to get it to accept your commands. power button won't work.
---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------
If that doesn't work try this.
Get into DL mode and run "teeny bin" from the post I sent you to, to get LGNPST. Try the main one first, then the optional one if it still doesn't get you into TWRP. You just might have one of those "haunted phones" that seem to be poping up.

Thanks again mate.. I was able to install Teeny bin and then flashed a AOSP rom. Now I have my wifi working again without any issues.
Do u have a link of any stock based rooted deodexed rom for this ? I don't want to flash bin images via LGNPST but want the stock look and feel
Imperium and Lifeless are our only 2 stock ROMs so far. In the Development section. Both are very nice.
