The key piece of information for your symptom is in this line:

1. When the mobile is turn on, only shows 'Google' logo and the 'Unlock' logo, no responds then.

The other lines do help provide background as to the other modes such as recovery and download working properly, which indicates the issue is not *serious*.

The symptom you state, where the device does not boot past the boot logo, usually means the device is not able to boot the kernel or boot past the kernel. The boot logo appears while the kernel is being loaded on the device. Generally, after the boot logo and kernel finish loading a boot animation appears which indicates the kernel has usually handed off to the Android OS to continue booting.

My approach would be to load a completely stock ROM in order to restore a working kernel and ROM to the device. I generally perform this step as a baseline to get everything back in working order.

In many instances the ROM is dependent on the kernel. Your situation requires at least a kernel to be loaded and in order to prevent any further issues, it would be best to load a ROM dependent on the kernel being loaded.

A simple way would be to grab the stock factory images from Google's site and load those back onto the device.

Another simple way would be to grab a stock ROM and flash the .zip through CWM in recovery mode.

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Since you're rooted I'm going to assume you have ADB and the necessary drivers installed.

1.) Download a ROM. It doesn't have to be stock, you can choose any of the ROMs from the development section for your device. Most of the ROMs are packaged with a kernel already.

2.) Save this ROM file to the same folder where you have ADB installed.

3.) Boot your phone into CWM recovery and plug it into your computer.

4.) Use ADB to push the ROM zip file to your phone (/data/media). For example:

c:\gnex\>adb push rom.zip /data/media/rom.zip

5.) Use CWM to wipe data, cache, and davlik-cache

6.) Install zip from sdcard and flash the rom.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
1. I am using GSM

2. Whenever I turn on my mobile, the 'Google' and 'Unlock' logo appears and then freeze, with no more respond at all

* I definitely mess up some system files, but don't know how to restore it because my PC do not recognize my mobile.

Thanks

I am seeing more and more of these threads about "bricked" nexus's is this an issue with how new the phone is or people not following instructions properly as they are too eager to root their phones?

All else fails flash back to stock and count yourself lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To silow,

Thanks for your advice, but fail

1. I put adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll and fastboot.exe (3 files) under my PC C drive (i.e. C:)

2. I also put a stock Rom (rename as rom.zip) under C drive (i.e. C:)

3. Boot phone into CWM recovery and plug it into computer.

4. Use cmd command and type c:\gnex\>adb push rom.zip /data/media/rom.zip

5. It fails , It say "Access Denied" (in Chinese, but I translate it into English here)

6. How do I use ADB (it is a ADB.exe file, When I double click it, it only flash up a few page very fast and nothing happen)

Please assist!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To Joeykrim,

I agree that

"Another simple way would be to grab a stock ROM and flash the .zip through CWM in recovery mode."

But how? (according to my symptoms)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
The command I gave you was just an example. I didn't spell out the exact details because I thought that you would know how to do it considering you rooted the phone.

If you put the adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll file in your C: drive, make sure you copy the ROM file to your C: drive too. In the follow example I'm going to use "ROM.zip" but use the name of the ROM file that you downloaded. Also I am assuming you are on Windows XP.

1.) Boot your phone into CWM recovery and then plug it in.

2.) Go to your Start Menu and choose Run. Then type in "cmd" without quotes and hit enter to open a command prompt.

3.) Enter:

cd c:\

4.) Enter the following to make sure ADB can see your phone:

adb devices

You should see something similiar to this to confirm ADB can see your device:

List of devices attached

019B756F0C018012 device

5.) Enter the following command to copy the ROM file to your phone. Remember to replace ROM.zip with whatever the name of the ROM file is:

adb push ROM.zip /data/media/ROM.zip

6.) Use CWM to wipe data, cache, and davlik-cache

7.) Install zip from sdcard and flash the rom.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To Silow,

You have been very helpful, but I fail.

"You should see something similiar to this to confirm ADB can see your device:

List of devices attached"

There is NO device number shown after the phrase 'List of devices attached'

To recap:

a) Phone is already plugged in my PC, under the Clockworkmod Recovery 5.5.0.2

b) adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll file are under C: drive directly

c) Also type cmd in 'Run', a black Dos window shown C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

d) c:\>adb devices

List of devices attached

(But no device number show up, it cannot recognize my mobile)

Pls don't give up on me!

: )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
you can't use adb from CWM, you need to enter the bootloader, then try adb or fastboot (edit: wrong!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Sounds like your ADB USB drivers are not correctly installed. While the phone is under CWM, when you plug it in is your computer attempting to install drivers for a new device?

Download these bare ADB Interface drivers.ADB USB Drivers

Go into Device Manager on your computer and check the device list for any unknown devices or "?" devices. If you need to update those drivers by pointing them to the drivers you downloaded and extracted from that link above.

When the ADB Interface drivers are correctly installed you should see Android Phone listed under under your Device Manager when it's plugged in with CWM recovery loaded.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

You CAN use ADB with CWM. That's one of the reasons why CWM is so awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
edit: i did appear to have one missing driver, my mistake. it was listed in device manager as "unknown - full" :rolleyes:

its funny cause i never had to use adb from cwm before, never noticed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
This symptom generally occurs from not having loaded the drivers for the hardware. As with the majority of hardware devices when being connected to a Windows machine, the drivers need to be loaded. Sometimes these are automatically loaded and other times they have to be manual loaded.

As an alternative and for future reference, the android-sdk package contains general USB drives which usually work for Google Nexus devices.

Generally, as this providers a *cleaner* install, best practice as recommended by Google is to download the whole android-sdk .zip and then from the installer download/install the pieces needed, such as platform-tools (containing adb) and USB drivers as opposed to extracting out the adb.exe and .dll file and installing manually.

Agreed. To add greater clarification so there is no confusion: adb can't be used from the bootloader.

The /sbin/adbd daemon on the device is only loaded while in normal android boot mode or in recovery mode as called by the init.rc (or on some older devices, recovery.rc) file in the boot process.

Bootloader mode will only work with fastboot while it is in fastboot usb mode.

On some devices, the bootloader has a separate menu for fastboot and on other devices, the fastboot mode is directly entered when entering the bootloader.

Hope that helps clarify!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To silow (and all other helpers)

1. I fail

2. The ADB USB drivers in my PC should be fine as in Device Manager , I can see Android Phone with Android Composite ADB Interface. (No exclamation mark)

3. On the other hand, whenever I plug my mobile into PC, I can see "Unknown-Full"

4. In DOS, when I first type "adb devices" it shows

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

*daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

(but NO device number shown!)

5. When I enter adb devices second time, it shows

List of devices attached (No device number shown)

Thank you so much , but it is Hong Kong time (my place) at 0511 am , I didn't sleep all night and I am very tired.

If you don't mind (especially big helper Silow), please give me email so that I capture screen picture and show you in detail (hope it may help)

my email is

amazinghongkong@hotmail.com

I need to sleep now, I will check my email and see you guys or come back this Forum later (several hours later, as I really need some sleep right now)

Pls don't give up on me as this is an expensive mobile. I think the hardware is fine, just need to figure out a way to unbrick it.

Thanks, and see you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
What you need to do is right click on "Unknown-Full" and click on "Update Driver...". Then choose "Install from a list or specific location". Make sure "Search for the best driver in these locations." is checked and "Include this location in the search:" is check. Click on the Browse button and browse to where you extracted the driver files from the link I posted above. Click Next and this should install the correct drivers for you. Afterwards try "adb devices" again to see if ADB now reconizes your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To Silow,

Fail.

1. Already installed the drivers you gave me (and there is no 'Exclamation' Mark) in Device manager

2. Situation is the same , Cannot recognize my mobile (i.e. no Device No. after entering adb devices)

3. "List of devices attached" shown in DOS video but without any number.

No other method?

My mobile is really 'bricked' to death?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbs2002:
To Silow and all,

Something important

1. When choose 'install zip from sd card' under CWM, a list of old folder names remains

(e..g gameloft, DCIM, Pictures, etc). That means almost all old files, folders are STILL in my mobile!

2. I have already use the funcion 'Wipe data/factory reset', 'wipe cache partition', ' Wipe Dalvik Cache'

Perhaps my CWM has problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
What happens when you update drivers for Unknown-Full?

Boot into fastboot and see if your computer recognizes the phone by checking device manager. The key here is to get your computer to see the phone either in fastboot or CWM.

Perhaps try another cable, USB port, or new computer.

The goal is to get Android Phone ADB Composite Interface to show up in device manager either in Fastboot or CWM. Without that done you cannot use Fastboot to flash nor ADB to push a zip file to the phone.

**Make a Backup**

Here you go :) Hopefully, it will look like this:

I say hopefully, because I don't have an NS3G to test it with :) So, let me know if something is off.

(GI) stands for Green Icon

(BI) stands for Blue Icon

And, I am aware that the message block shows a white line around it, I'm working to get that fixed in my NS4G version, so when I do, I'll update this one.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kramer987:
will give this a try as soon as i get home :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Good, I'm anxious to find out if it looks right :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Emama:
Can anyone confirm if you can send image on T-mobile?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Emama:
btw one thing,

the GI version, the text is ICS theme not stock (which is not the same as the screenshot)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] djsonar:
I have the one you posted for the 4g with the modifications I mention in the other thread.

And it works great, and am on simple mobile /T-Mobile. The only, hing I can't get to work is the people tab. But I know you'll get it done eventually.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] civicdrivr:
With the BI version, all text is blue :confused:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] GallStones:
I can confirm that even the NS4G version works like a charm on a NS3G (mine is i9023), so I believe you didn't have to split the thread in two...anyway, great job!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AeroEchelon:
Sweet I definitely want to check this out but ... How would you restore the previous MMS app if you just wanted to 'test' this out? Thanks.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] GallStones:
You can make a backup of Mms.apk with Titanium Backup before flashing.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
I'll get it fixed :)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Lakers3408:
Use Root Explorer... system/app , rename the stock MMS.apk to MMS.apk.bak.... Then place this one in there, set permissions and reboot.

When you want to go back to stock simply delete this one and rename the stock one from MMS.apk.bak to MMS.apk,

That's it

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Solarian:
If we hadn't made a backup of our original MMS is there any way to restore it? Does anyone have the apk that they could post up?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] georgiapi:
Thats why I always use rootexplorer to just rename the file such as mms.apk to mms.apk.bak.

That way its disabled but on the ready.

I also use Titanium backup and Rom Manager to back me up. I learned in the digital image world if you don't have 3 copies, one of them off site, you don't have a backup.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
The zips in the OP should be fixed now, and the (BI) version should now have text like is shown in the screenshots.

I added the (BI) version back calling it ICS, it has the blue text :)

Let me know if you have any problems.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Solarian:
I found the answer to my own question. If anyone else is having this problem, go into the zip file of the rom you're currently running, and navigate to system/app

You'll find the stock mms.apk there. Copy that onto your phone, then use the root explorer method to replace the modified one with the stock one. Reboot phone.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] civicdrivr:
No change :confused:

I tried both GI and BI, both still have blue text. And this was on a newly installed rom too.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] KrisMurdrum:
Just noticed that if you long press a contact in the mms app the window that pops up is grayish white with white text. Same goes for if you long press a number then deflect Add to Contacts, its white furious with whiter text..

I can confirm this issue. I get blue text regardless of the .apks.

And I really wanted to use this too. :/
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SimonCraddock:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xuicoatl:
Hello.

After a long time, i want to give a try to another ROM in my phone. However, i have a few questions as the phone wasn't "made" by me.

I bought the phone and it came already with Froyo with Sense installed (Although in hardware info it says it is an HTC Desire.) but very stable

Finally with HTC Super tool i rooted the phone. Everythings seems ok with root checkers and titanium backup.

Now. The phone starts android using MAGLDR, it even had a nice splash screen that sayd android HD2 and after the dark forces splash screen. With this, the ROM is in the phone memory right? Can i load a rom from the SD card and keep Froyo in the phone in case something is wrong? Should i wipe entirely and depend on the backups if something goes wrong?

I'm interested in trying CM7 and MUIU. Should i learn about clk?

any other advice? This will be my first flashing and i really find Froyo very stable, but having this device and not trying something else seems like a waste.

Last in priority... if i would be interesting in trying also WP7 Mango, but keeping Android as my main OS, what are steps to go? need to partition my card or make important decisions before?

Thanks for all the help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
in order to flash mango you have to wipe android from nand.

you can run an android sd build without wiping the present nand build. you can try 3dak's miui rom in sd android section.

if you want to run your hd2 in maximum performance i recommend using hyperdroid cm7 rom in nand android section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crippius:
Hi

If your HD2 had Froyo installed, it was more than probably already rooted when you received it :)

Installing a ROM on your SD card is safe and won't break anything in your phone's memory as long as you follow the installation procedure of your ROM carefully. Make sure that you pick up a ROM in the HD2 Android SD Development forum
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xuicoatl:
Ok. so WP7 will be a no for the moment.

will try then some sd card methods and roms.

Once i find one that i like, i should move it to nand right?

I thought the phone would be rooted since the beggining also, as it even had SU installed, but after trying to use titanium, SU itself, terminal and rootchecker everything said it wasn't. Thought it was funny. Now everything works.

Will pass by SD forum then.

Thanks!:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crippius:
If you want to install the ROM on NAND, you can't install the ROM that you used for SD, you have to find the NAND version of the ROM in the HD2 Android NAND Development

Installing on NAND is quite more difficult when you begin. It's also more dangerous and might brick your phone if you don't take care.

Follow one of the tutorials posted on the forum, you'll have to make familiar with a lot of terms and tools, and it's important that you understand all your actions.

Always make a backup prior to install a new ROM, for this you have to use the Backup/Restore tool of ClockworkMod... your new home ;)

(You start ClockworkMod from MAGLDR - Option "AD Recovery")

Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xuicoatl:
Thanks for the advices.

I´ve been playing with miui for a few days and so far i like it.

Question.

Right now im playing with my htc sense rom in nand, and miui in sd.

Even if the apps of the htc are in the sd, miui cannot see them. Do i have to redownload and reinstall everything i need for miui?

Specially worried about some apps that were payed...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
No just download 'titanium backup' from the Android Market, backup all apps then restore them on the SD build.

Hi, i know I'm going out of topic, but i need some help...

I wanted to choose some computer language courses, but as i approached the institutions, i saw many thing available there like :-

.NET

JAVA

C

C+

C++

LINUX

OPEN SOUCE and (something else i forgot)

HTML

and were many more...

I wanted to know that which courses i should apply for- if i want to develop/edit apps-preferrably android and Rom developing and editting and Also develop computer- windows softwares...

Thanx

[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
How to become an app developer.

With all due respect, your question is to broad.

If you want to create applications, you should have a basic knowledge about software architecture and you should get to know the platform you are developing for.

You could also develop in a platform independent way. In that case you should familiarize yourself with the framework you're developing with.

Frameworks are written for a specific development language.

Most platforms and many frameworks come with their own SDK (software development kit). This is usually a bunch of documents, articles and libraries.

In the case of Android it is a very good starting point to read the Developers Guide. http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

You'll find out that can choose between different languages to develop in/with.

I would strongly advise to limit yourself to one platform to learn all aspects of development and then porting that experience to other platforms.

You could also try starting with one framework and ignoring all platform specificity until you need to develop applications that require this. In that case I would advise starting to read the JAVA SDK (development) guides since that is a very self-education friendly community.

With both approaches you can select which languages and methods to learn first.

Read at least the introductions of the guides.
[HTC Sensation] nexus2515:
Actually I'm 17 now- In 3 months, I'll join a collage and there are around 8 branches in it just for computer software development-

I wish to choose those subjects which should give me double benifit...

Thier respective names are -

COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING WITH SPECIALIZATION IN:-

1.)CLOUD COMPUTING AND VIRTUALISATION

2.) OPEN SOIRCE AND OPEN STANDARDS

3.)MAINFRAME TECHNOLOGY

4.)TELECOM INFORMATICS

5.) INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

others i forgot
[HTC Sensation] nikoookami:
I'm also one year away from college and I've been trying to learn Java first because I think it is more relevant to Android development. I would choose the course Information Technology ( thats what it is called in my country, the rest I only recognised Cloud Computing) You can know what each course teaches by going only to your desired college and read about the course then from that you can choose. Or if you want to learn Java, I recommend this page: http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/ (choose the Total Beginner)

Thats what I have been doing these few days :D Good luck ;)
[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
Yeah, my perspective is a bit different. But that hardly matters.

Learning to program is not about *any* language. To acquire the skills you can just throw yourself on one language, one framework, one platform.

You can pick te community or the domain that gives you the most fun, then it's way easier to stay motivated.

The 5 big domains you sum up are important from a commercial/work point of view. I cannot speak for your country because I don't know enough about it. They describe different needs and different infrastructure. I find it surprising to see this distinction in college.

best regards,
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I am the same position and age as you and the language needed for android apps is basically JAVA. The language needed for windows apps is C++ or C#. For iPhone apps its Objective C. For websites, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML

[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
Even if I disregard the fact that you impolitely order me to do something, what would be the point?

Whatever I say won't quench your obvious need for a quick answer that puts your mind at rest. Plus, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where you start your career and learning. If you have what it takes, you'll get there anyway.
