Need help phone is dying

Lesson Learned Here: Dang.

Galaxy Nexus Verizon
Was on Team Vicious 4.1 v.3
Franco's Kernel 215(?)

I saw that the processor speed had some new options. 1804mhz and 2000 something mhz.

I tried the 2000 something one and my phone instant froze and restarted. Upon restart I tried 1804mhz and is seemed to work. I decide to give the 2000 a try again and my phone froze and restarted. My phone never fully restarted. I just boot looped forever. I tried to re-flash the kernel, then the ROM. Nothing still boot loops. Then I tried to restore a nandroid I had from before I install 4.1. Still boot loops. I also tried Wugs toolkit and tried re-flashing stock and it connect but when the process starts it fail. I am about to ODIN my phone. Any other advice in case that does not work?

The saying I hear is if it turns on it is not bricked. Well my phone will get to the boot loader screen and to CWM recovery. nothing past that.

I was trying to find the ODIN link but the only one is from XDA Developers and the link takes you else where.

Help

Well I think ODIN failed. Any thoughts?

Can you get to the bootloader? Why not plug it in and do restore?

imnotajedi · Jul 4, 2012

I did try that.Nothing I was able to get to boatloader and I tried reinstalling rom, restore from nandroid, using Wugstool kit. Nothing fixed it. My computer after a few attempt saw my phone a ABD, and thats when I tried to restore using Wugs. My last effort was ODIN last night and it left me phone only going into the above screen image. Nothing else.

ODIN is totally not necessary on the Gnex... if you can indeed get into the bootloader you just need to restore the factory system img and lock/unlock the bootloader again... will give you a nice clean system to boot into and get back to playing with.. Trying to find a link to the more recent instructions dmmarck had on restoring the factory images, check his stickies up top tho...

EDIT: Yeah just use these: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...1360-factory-images-verizon-galaxy-nexus.html

Can you pull the battery?

If so, do that, get into the bootloader, and go find my factory images sticky.

Boot loader is NOT an option as stated. Well kind of stated. The image I attached in the second thread is the only screen my phone will go to now.

Tried battery pull. Nada

You are not able to get to the bootloader? If you pull the battery, replace it, hold both volume buttons and power until it gets to the bootloader screen... This does nothing?

Odin is a last ditch effort, when nothing else works. For our purposes , generally speaking.

Did you have the kernel set on boot? That's most likely the reason you had the problem in the first place.

Locking the boot loader and a fast boot restore is sound advice.

zero neck · Jul 4, 2012

What software did you use to Odin???

imnotajedi · Jul 4, 2012

I tried loading the factory image using Wugs Toolkit and as it was writing each step it keep saying fail. At the time i was doing it the drivers were working correctly and my computer was seeing it as ADB so I know the problem was not that.

Having the correct adb drivers does not mean you have the correct fastboot (bootloader) ones installed... This is most likely why it failed.

imnotajedi · Jul 4, 2012

Followed steps from here.
The below attempt on ODIN was done because nothing else worked.

First attempt I used only used the first one, instructions were bad and that is why my phone has that screen. Then found the link below and tried these steps and used both files. Still not working but i maybe at the point of no return.

Fastboot drivers are always the culprit. Go back into Wug's and ensure they are working.

Hmm. This is a new computer and I thought I have set everything up correct.

dmmarck · Jul 4, 2012

Based upon what you said happened, rebooting into the bootloader and flashing the stock images via fastboot would have absolutely worked unless the drivers were not installed :/.

Go to Wug's Toolkit. Go to manual driver configuration. Run through it and let me know if you can get a fastboot number listed, thus confirming it works.

In fast boot number are you referring to the serial number that pops up?

Yeah you def need both if you're going to Odin.

I agree with the above fast boot is your better option but if you already did the Odin and only restored half you might be stuck with odin now ... but let's hope not

Correct.

Now, power down the phone and hold down VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, and POWER.

Can you get to the bootloader?
