[Q] Bricked Galaxy Nexus

Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.

Have you tried booting into Odin mode

Yes, it doesn't work.

have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one

It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.

I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Yeah, that's why I'm not sure to send it in for warranty. So have I to try with a JTAG first?

I'm not understanding that too, I don't know what happened. Suddendly it stopped working. Maybe is just a battery problem, I'll try to use another one before bringing it to the shop where I bought it.

same happened to me, but I have an untouched phone with stock android. it worked well for over an year until today.
I see a lot of people having same issue, but they say that when connected to PC over USB the phone is recognized as OMAP.
for me the PC doesn't do anything...
any help? thanks

so right after I wrote that I plugged my phone into USB of my PC without battery. when I inserted the battery it started showing me the battery sign and I could started the phone. 3 minutes later it went black again, but the trick didnt work again.
any ideas? thanks

Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.

After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

i assume you are still able to charge your phone? do you have a custom rom installed? reinstall latest proper drivers. i would try a factory reset or a hard reset. if that does not work it may be a hardware issue.

any way to convert a stock kdz to a .bin file, maybe it can resolve my problem?

Nope,no way.
If you have a wireless network home,you can always use airdroid to transfer files to/from phone.

I had this issue, had to RMA it.
Most likely, the device is still covered by manufacturer's waranty, use it!

Have done this and they changed the usb port on the phone but that didnt solve the problem, after, the guy at the cellstore said me that because i have changed the rom they cannot send it again to lg...

Indeed, unless you can go back to stock... Which is kinda hard without USB :|

Anyway to return stock without usb?

do you have 32 or 64bit Windows?
tried another usb port and maybe another cable if you ain't using the stock LG OEM USB cable.
if it don't wanna get detected on your pc try a friends pc or laptop see if that work.

32 & 64, osx , ubuntu all tried with different pc and cable.

that sounds weird then because last time i had this problem it was the cable i used on my own pc it didn't work here, but it did on my dad's laptop.
it was when i found out that the original lg oem usb cable couldn't charge my phone anymore, but data works fine.

I went to a cellphone reparation shop, they tested it and tell me that it must be an hardware or firmware issus with the phone...

[Q] USB Problem

Since yesterday my phone refuses to charge while booted into android (CM 10.1.2 Stable).
However it has absolutely no problems charging while turned off, in bootloader or hboot.
Also it will not be detected by PC usb so I can't flash a different ROM. What the hell is going on?
How do I get out of this mess?
Just to be clear I've already hard resetted the phone. It would appear that the usb drivers on the phone are to blame?
Need some help guys.

Here's what I've tried so far:
Reinstalled HTC drivers
Installed a different recovery
Installed a different ROM with a stock kernel
VOodOO magic
Nothing has worked so far.
If I turn the phone off I can use adb to flash ROMS and such. However USB will not work when the device is on:
No charging or data transfer over USB. Otherwise phone appears to be working perfectly.

It's was happened to me with Sony Xperia Z, when usb debugging on all are working, but actually it's not a normal condition.
My pc is windows64bit and happening this problem so changed to win32 all are OK, So I think this may be driver conflict in PC.
Therefore if possible you try with another PC.

Tried different cords and PCs.
Even wall chargers do not work.
Also comfirmed that a middle strip of around 10% of my screen area is dead to touch.
All signs indicate hardware damage. Might take it to HTC to get fixed now.

Cannot mount phone to PC - OTG not working as well

Hello friends,
I own a OP3 fr over a year now and had no issues with it while rooting and changing roms, etc till two weeks ago.
After updating my ROM (Experience rom) to its latest version my phone could not mount to the PC, OTG is not working and dash charge went to hell.
Now, The phone has never been close to water at all, I've been careful with it more than with myself.
The phone has been checked by a repair man, he changed the usb port+mic 3 times, still not working.
Ofc I checked another charger, another cable, drivers, another otg usb.... NOTHING seems to get it to mount.
TWRP is working alright but I cannot mount from there also. OTG as well.
The phone shows on some PC's that it is an unknown device, even with drivers installed, won't let me set it as a mass storage or anything I can think of.
Does anyone have an idea to what the hell is going on?
Thank you in advance.

I can't do a logcat. There is no OS currently.
I can only enter TWRP or Fastboot.
Cannot mount from TWRP, Cannot get ADB sideload to work.
The device is an unrecognized driver in the device manager. (tried uninstalling ALL related drivers and installing again.)
Only weird thing i found is that the baseband and modem versions are missing from showing in fastboot

Exact same problem here
Im using the open beta 12, no OTG no dash charging :crying:

If you are talking about bootloader mode, right from the day I purchased the phone, they are blank despite flashing different ROMs and firmware/modems. So that is not an issue.

warp charge MIA

Couple days ago warp charge suddenly stooped working. No fast charge either. Charging at about 5-6%/hour. no system changes remotely coincide, wiped cache tried various wall outlets. Any method possible to determine the root cause weather power adapter or cable or device.
Thanks in advance.

Unable to test another cable since don't know anyone with a oneplus device. I do get charging but very slow.
I will try to reinstall the fast boot rom fresh & see what happens, sure hoped to avoid that tho.

Now i can't get adb to recognize the device at all. It is charging but regardless of how USB is configured it won't do anything, not even request for authorization. Tried rebooting both devices, wiped cache, revoked authorization, toggled USB debugging & flashed back to stock kernel. Guessing factory reset is the last option at this point unless someone has a better idea.
Thanks
Additionally it isn't recognized as a storage device or anything. Going to try another machine in the morning, maybe mine has seen better days.

Tried new machine & won't do anything. Not even recognize to install driver

I guess your phone has a usb problem. Might need a repair

Maybe stupid thought but check your usb-c slot, maybe something got inside
