[Resolved] AOKP boot loop. Odin crashes. ADB waiting for.

[BSG75]

So I made a boo boo. I tried to update to AOKP milestone 3. I didn't wipe everything because I figured I was just updating to a new rom version, not changing rom varieties.

Well, now I get stuck in the AOKP boot loop. I tried to get into recovery (CWM) and it's not there. I guess they left the recovery backup file in place, which overwrites CWM. Super.

Then I tried to use ADB, but I keep getting waiting for device. When I look in device manager I just see my phone as "Samsung mobile USB CDC composite device." It's not "unknown." I had previously unlocked and rooted from this laptop, so it should have all the drivers still.

I tried to use Odin to install CWM. I used 7-zip to wrap it in .tar and load it as a PDA, but Odin just crashes. I tried to push a factory image, but it still crashes. I guess this is the same device issue.

So what the what? I know this should not be permanently bricked (I do at least see the AOKP boot animation and the PC recognizes something and I can boot into fastboot), but I'm out of tricks. Help is appreciated if you have any advice.




When I boot into fastboot (power + volume down) I see:

Odin Mode in red in top left.
Start next to power (just begins the boot loop)
Downloading....
Do Not turn of target
OMAP-samsung hw information.
There is no "fastboot" mentioned!

So it looks like I am in Odin mode, not fastboot mode for some reason. Alas, Odin crashes. (v3 1.85).Win 7 64 bit. Truecrypt installed today, FWIW.

fast boot is power +volume up and down. Fast boot is in the bootloader

Have u tried to install the factory files with Odin? There's two of them.

I guess I was not thinking right last night. I got into recovery with volume up+down.. Thanks for the reminder. Did a factory reset, installed AOKP M3, then GAPPS and it booted up.

I tried to install the 4.0.2 toro image in .tar format, but it crashed. I didn't try any others as it also crashed when I zipped CWM into a .tar and tried to install that.

I am getting almost immediate reboots as soon as it starts. It's not doing a fulll wipe because I still see my wallpaper and widgets and I didn't have to log in again.

Doing another wipe and install. I have a nandroid to roll back to, also. If that still fails, i'll rolll back to stock. If that fails, I'll return it

Status update:
Error while restoring /data!

Loaded an old nandroid back to 4.0.2 rooted and unlocked. It's just spinning at the boot screen. Not rebooting, just won't stop with the stock boot animation.

OK. That was a pain.

My drivers kept not being recognized. I had to keep installing them. Anyway, I used
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ock-bootloader-root-verizon-galaxy-nexus.html (repeatedly)
to get my drivers in order

I used this to eventually flash back the the original 4.0.2 image. Signing in now. I think all is good for now....

For future reference wugs has a great step by step method for making sure your drivers get installed right. Tried it last night.

Do you happen to have a link? I can't find that user in the AC member list. I would love to nail these down, though.
