I've been in your shoes, and I doubt a factory reset will help. If I were you, I would download the stock images first (lte or GSM nexus?). After that, try seeing if your drivers are configured and that tour phone is being recognized by your computer when it is plugged in with the USB cable. The drivers will need to be configured for when the phone is showing the Google logo, but also configured again when the phone is in the boot loader. (Ask if you need more instructions for this).

OK, what worked for me was locking and then unlocking my phone again. Type fast boot OEM lock, and if the drivers are good then the boot loader will lock. Then type fast boot OEM unlock and it will wipe everything--even Android backups. It shoud also delete the problem. After that you can push files to it from the computer but you might have to configure your drivers again (I did). Hope this helps, it worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NxsLS:
??

I can connect the phone and lock n unlock the bootloader. so the USB drivers ar working. but iv got no way of pushing the files onto it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matthai:
Have you tried flashing via fastboot? I would assume if fastboot oem unlock/lock works, then flashing using fastboot/android sdk should work.

...though, as a non dev, i have been wrong before :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
what do you mean by "pushing the files"? What are you trying to push?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwbot:
Good, make sure you boot loader has been unlocked. You can use a program like the root toolkit (I don't think I can put a link to a different website) but he root toolkit for the nexus should help you push the stock image to your phone. Go to droid-life (.com, cough cough) and there is a set of instructions for returning back to stock. You can also use those same instructions to try and get her back up and running. Try the root toolkit they have on there, too. The only problem you might run into is having your phone set to USB debugging after unlocking the boot loader, bit it should still accept fast boot commands while I'm the bootloader

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

sorry, by pushing the files I mean pushing the stock image file (the stock software, including the stock operating system, stock bootloader, and stock radios). A rom is a custom tweaked version of the stock software. When you unlock the bootloader, if you don't have stock software on there (which you wont if you were running a rom when it crashed) then it might erase everything, including the from you were running. You will have to push that stock software (stock image file) back to your phone using commands from your computer

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegregulator:
I hate that.. because you didn't know what you were doing and screwed up your phone someone is supposed to provide you with a new one? As a few posters have already said, it should be a fairly easy fix. You didn't even acknowledge that you tried any of the suggested fixes. If you're going to mess around with your phone make sure you know what you're doing, or at the very least exhaust all potential options to get yourself out of a soft brick. I'm sure an experienced Android user could have you up and running in 10 minutes. It's no wonder providers don't want to unlock bootloaders on some phones.. Jesus...

i tryed all i got it too boot back into the OS but reset itself and locked in google with unlocked padlock. so gave up and will not make the same mistake of not copying over the rom after the root n unlock.. i have flashed/unlocked my samsung s2 with ODIN which was easy but the Nexus i used Galaxy Nexus ToolKit

Hey guys so I just got my galaxy s2 and I was looking on the web for a case. I want a tpu style case something that's thin but protects the bezel from dirt and scratches. Anyone have any good suggestions?

P.S. I don't like buying from eBay

Thanks for all the help in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
A lot of people here have the d30 case which you can get from T-Mobile. Its thin and offers more protection than a standard touch case.

If you want to protect your phone go with the trident. The diztronic and d30 and other thin ebay cases are nice and all for looks but heaven forbid you drop your phone with either of those cases on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jovy23:
The case i have is the Ballistic SG Case and its the best case i have right now for the T989. I have tried the D30 case which i paid $30 at a T-mobile store and i regret buying it because the buttons are hard to press [the power and volume buttons] and the case is pretty slippery when you leave it flat on a table. Check ebay for the "T989 Ballistic Case" thats where i got mine for $15 with free shipping and it came in 3 days. Trust me you wont go wrong. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] outasflyguy:
I have the black one... the only problem with these cases are that the button holes aren't cut out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvizz:
D30 flex protective cover.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
That's the same one I have. My phone is black tho.

I don't know why people complain so much about the buttons. The volume buttons are easy to press. Yes the power button is a bit tough but it gets easier to press as the case breaks in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TONY206:
I've had the argyle case, the generic clear TPU, and currently the white Body Glove Diamond from T-Mobile.

I like the overall feel and ease of button pressing with the body glove, but after about a week it has gotten quite a few scratches. The generic clear TPU had a really great feel and the buttons were easy to press as well, I just didn't care much for the design. The argyle looked the best, but the buttons were harder to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] p.a.d.g.:
I like the Aegis but I think that one of the best options as per your desired specs would be the D30. Or maybe you want to look at the Incipio "feather" case. That seems to fit the bill as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
I bought a clear argyle, actually love the look of it through my carbon fiber gunmetal skin. Problem was the buttons, hard to press. I cut mine out with a razor blade but I have been looking for a new clear argyle without the buttons. Have you found one of those? Picture with gunmetal skin is below!

If you use the car and/or desktop dock I say Ditzronic TPU. Pretty painless undressing it to take a trip or put it on the nightstand to charge or be an alarm clock. Looks pretty good. If you're rough on phones and are prone to damaging them with big drops go with the Aegis. I only need scratch prevention so it works for my needs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dynamite1985:
I picked up a Ballistic case from the Telus store. Its a monster of a case, but protects my monster of a phone well.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
I bought both the white one and the black one and cut out the buttons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 1138:
Those Argyle cases fit well but the one I have scratched my phone's outer plastic band, around the power port / USB area. This is the area where the case has a bit of play. So as you put the phone inside your pocket, the case actually rubs against the phone, which might cause scratches. Alternatively, sand or dirt from pockets might have got in through the looser parts of the case and scratched the phone. Either way, this has me looking for a new case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DesignGrits:
hmmm....don't really have this problem

I have not had any problems with sound and this case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coww-cho!!!!!:
can someone tell me which case is better among the d3O cases i see that there is a D3O flex prot. case and the D3O dual impact. from the posts here it looks like more people are going with the flex case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
Dual impact would probably offer more protection. It's a hard plastic layer on the outside and rubber inner layer and lip. Though the dual impact case is much harder to remove.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coww-cho!!!!!:
Hmmm sounds about right i also read that with one of the products people were complaining that the case would crack on its own along the corners or something.

I just received my Reiko Hybrid case that I ordered from Amazon.

I wanted an Otterbox but they aren't making one for the T989. This case seems like good substitute.

It consists of a hard 2 piece inner shell and a soft rubber outer shell. Everything fits together nicely. Feels pretty solid. The screen and camera lens are well protected when laying the phone down. The case has a kickstand that works in portrait or landscape. The external power and volume buttons work great and are easy to push. The headphone and usb jacks have retractable covers that keep dust and dirt from getting in when they are not in use. I like how the hard case covers the edges of the screen protector. No edge bubbling and the pull down notification bar and bottom buttons are not blocked at all.

It's a pretty solid case. I think the phone is well protected from moderate falls. It does add some bulk to the phone but personally I like the heft. For the price, I don't think you'll find a better case for your GS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:

Tons of people have the Trident, including myself. I'd say it is in the top 3 for drop protection for our phone. Usually the people who do not like it are the ones who want a slim case.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StickyK3ys:
I bought a TPU S-line and have been using it for about two months now. I only have three issues.

1. The clear case that i purchased has started to take on a yellow tint. That bothers me a little. However, I haven't tried really scrubbing it.

2. The lip on the front collects a lot of dust that gets between the bezle and the screen. Also, it has caused super fine (but noticeable) scratches in the beautiful finish of the bezle.

3. I work in horticulture and i wish there could be a case that is way more dust proof with flaps/coverings for the headphone and USB ports but that wasn't as big as the reiko. Though, i think I am going to order it till I get a desk job.

Beyond those three things i have been very satisfied with the case.

Anyone have a white S2 with a blue D3O case?? If so can you post pics, thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] epaulied:
Ok, I've tried the following Cases:

D3O Dual Impact

Body Glove Revel

Reiko (posted a review here)

Trident Aegis for the GSII/Epic 4G/SPH-D710 (wrong model but close enough that the case fit, for the most part)

The hybrid case with the mesh hard plastic

And now the Trident Aegis for the T989

I gotta go with the Trident Aegis for the T989 hands down.

D3O Dual Impact: Good case, good fit, good protecion, did not like how stiff the buttons are.

Body Glove Revel: Second favorite case. only reason I'm not using it i cuz I gave it to my wife.

Reiko: Good case, really good protection. Liked the kickstand. But it made the phone HUGE.

The hybrid case with the mesh hard plastic: Eh... ok case, fit well but silicon cove was somewhat loose, the mesh plastic feels flimsy. Micro USB cutout is small.

Trident Aegis for the GSII/Epic 4G/SPH-D710: Wrong model but it fits for the most part. The camera lens cutout is off but doesn't obstruct the lens at all. The 3.5mm jack cutout is a little off but doesn't prevent the jack from being used. All other cutouts matched up. The fit was tight. I "liked" that the hard plastic shell covered the bottom as opposed to the T989 Aegis which doesn't. BUT, I dropped it once and the plastic shell covering the bottom cracked at the micro usb cutout.

Trident Aegis for the T989: Fits like a GLOVE. Nice and tight. Good lip around the screen. Not concerned at ALL anymore about the hard plastic not covering the bottom. In fact after my experience with the D710 case I LIKE that it doesn't cover the bottom. The silicone cover is thicker at the bottom. All 4 corners are nice and thick. Fees good in the hand. Easy in and out of pockets. Dust covers over the 3.5mm jack and micro usb are tight. Every case adds some bulk to a phone. I think this one feels nice. Found it on Amazon for under $20 w/free shipping.

My 2 cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
1 - Got bad reviews for fitment on Amazon

2 - Could be decent, looks like any typical snap on hard shell. Those have been known on other phones to scratch them.

3 - Looks nice but only protects sides and back. Doesn't look to extend past the screen at all and does not protect top and bottom.

4 - Looks to be the same as 3.
