[Q] Bricked my nexus - Fastboot still almost working

I Think my device is lost. It´s locked in boot of my Gummynex rom.
I´m not allowed to flash anything else, it´s like my filesystem is broken.
I have attached som screenshots of the error´s i get in galaxy nexus toolkit 5.6

I Have also tryed with Odin, but i cant seem to get odin to connect with the phone in fastboot.
If i try to go into recoverymode i get the android man lying on his back with and Red triangle inside.
Hope someone have any idea of what i should try next.

Try using fastboot commands to flash the stock img files instead of the toolkit.

But when i download the files from Google´s homepage there is only 1 file.
Shouldn´t it be enough ?
It´s the yakju-imm76d-factory-c6e807a1.tar file for my phone.

Extract it again.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I´ve extracted the files again. now i have 6 img files.
boot
bootloader
radio
recovery
system
userdata
Flashed all the files to the phone, each time i get an error like before, but i can see in the fast boot screen that baseband versions ect. changes.
But unfortunatly the phone still won´t boot.
I have locked it again, and will take it to the store for repair if someone don´t have some good ideas
Thank you in advance

unlock the bootloader ( fastboot oem unlock )
5) Open up Command Prompt or Terminal, navigate to the folder you've extracted it all too and enter the following commands waiting for each to finish
Windows
fastboot-windows flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot-windows reboot-bootloader
fastboot-windows flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot-windows reboot-bootloader
fastboot-windows -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Linux
./fastboot-linux flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
./fastboot-linux reboot-bootloader
./fastboot-linux flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
./fastboot-linux reboot-bootloader
./fastboot-linux -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
OSX
./fastboot-mac flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader
./fastboot-mac flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader
./fastboot-mac -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
6) The last step is to lock the bootloader. Restart the phone into the bootloader
7) Open CMD in the location of Superboot and type:
fastboot-windows oem lock

Help Needed
Guys,
I need any help possible although I fear I may be beyond recovery. Basically my Galaxy Nexus is bricked, I had been running 4.0.4 (IMM76D) on it. The phone is rooted and unlocked.
When switching the phone on, all I get is Google and the unlocked keypad. Will not progress further. I can boot into fastboot mode, and sometimes into recovery however although I have files showing on the SD, when I choose them I get a message declaring the path empty.
My main issue is that the handset is not recognised by my computer (running windows 7 and also since yesterday a dual boot of Ubuntu). This results in my Nexus toolkit and the AdamOutler tool being of no use as they do not recognize the device.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm at my wits end

back to stock sense

ok when you have downloaded the file, put it in the same folder as ADB and fastboot files and rename it to RUU for ease
you will need to use the HTC_fastboot.exe to flash it, normal fastboot wont flash Lollipop RUU's, get the htc one from here and put in the same folder as your RUU.zip and other adb and fastboot files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031
then do htese commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (phone screen should go black with sliver HTC logo)
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (YOU MUST USE THE HTC_FASTBOOT to flash the zip, the normal fastboot wont work, now leave it alone to do its thing, takes about 10 mins, no need to issue this command twice as its automatic with the htc_fastboot)
now make sure when its finished and you have a command prompt and that it says successful at the end and OKAY
if so then type fastboot reboot-bootloader
now fastboot reboot

WORKS !! THANKS search0123 :fingers-crossed: :good:

anyone have cool splash img? do share ty

Dark images included work well with paranoid boot animation, thanks! No more blinding mornings...

Good to know... Custom splash does not affect OTA to 10.0.7.0.

I don't have a Windows but python should be cross-platform...
Because I have a Mac, I had to run xcode-select --install to get zlib in place for Pillow.
I had to pip2.7 install Pillow to get the PIL library that the script wanted.
Then I could run python2.7 splash_gen.py and it produced a splash.img for me.

no more full screen unlocked bootloader warning. thanks

I conpreased the image file as a zip when I go to twrp which should I select boot or something else

Most likely, you switched the slot, while you have 2 different firmware installed on A and B - and of course you will get a brick, you can’t do this.
1. fastboot set_active other - will return you to the working slot
2. send a log (in the recovery settings)

Can you please state clearly in your thread's title and the OP that this is an UNOFFICIAL release? This is not clear at all, and thus makes it easy for people to assume that this is an official OrangeFox release.
Thanks.

@Dkpost3 The thread title has been updated to reflect that this is an unofficial build.

How To Guide [ALL RMX] How to soft unbrick stock ROM with OTA update file (unlocked bootloader needed)

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
I've just unbricked an RMX3474 (Realme 9 5G with unlocked bootloader) using this method. It was bricked (bootloader boot loop) following a bad downgrade by mistake from RUI4 to RUI3 (there's actually no RUI4 ROM available in .ofp format for the RMX3474GDPR).
QPST/QFIL is a powerful (and therefore dangerous) tool, which is why in my opinion it should be reserved for hard unbrick, i.e. for smartphones that only have access to EDL (Emergency DownLoad) mode. I think its current democratisation is not a good thing. This remains my humble opinion, of course. For a soft bricked smartphone, I'm still looking for a "fastboot" solution. LOL, that's just common sense
So (I call back : unlocked bootloader needed).
1. Download the lastest android-tools : here
2. Download the OTA update for the last stock ROM installed on the smartphone :
2a. realme-ota
2b. Type the command :
Code:
realme-ota -v4 -i IMEI1 IMEI2 --old-method RMX3363 RMX3363_11.firmware.XX_0000_000000000000 RUI_version region
2c. Where : - -i IMEI1 IMEI2 = for your smartphone (optional), firmware = letter of firmware, XX = number of firmware, RUI_version = 2, 3 or 4 and region = your smartphone region
2d. For example, for my smartphone, the last "F" firmware, RUI4 and EUEX region :
Code:
realme-ota -v4 -i IMEI1 IMEI2 --old-method RMX3363 RMX3363_11.F.00_0000_000000000000 4 01000100
2e. Result of the command is : "foreign_my_manifest_RMX3363_11.F.07_3070_202305171723.44.71d53b2c_1_cf16f9cb6b61168cd0959cff607e3b32"
2f. You'll find the download link for the OTA update in the result, just below this line
3. Extract .img files from payload.bin :
3a. payload-dumper-go
3b. Type the command :
Code:
payload-dumper-go /path/to/payload.bin
4. Put all files in the same directory (android-tools & extracted payload .img files)
4a. Example for RMX3363GDPR-F07 :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Boot your smartphone into bootloader and connect it to the PC USB port
6. You need to enter fastbootd mode (to be authorised to flash critical partitions), so open a terminal and type the following command :
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
7. Begin with slot a :
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
8. Start the flash of the .img files (the number of .img files may vary depending on the smartphone model and the version of OTA update) :
Code:
fastboot flash file1 file1.img
fastboot flash file2 file2.img
fastboot flash file3 file3.img
(... etc)
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
9. Switch to slot b :
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
10. Relaunch the flash of the .img files
11. Switch slot a back to active :
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
12. Reboot the smartphone :
Code:
fastboot reboot
Note : I had 2 errors during the flashes (1 on slot a, 1 on slot b, not the same). On slot a, "Writing 'modem_a' FAILED (remote: 'Operation not permitted')". On slot b, I can't remember (a problem of insufficient space for a file). I tried several things but couldn't get round these errors. Nevertheless, the smartphone rebooted correctly with RUI4
After that, you can easily patch boot.img and vendor_boot.img (optional) files with Magisk, flash them again via fastboot and obtain root mode.
Have a nice day !
