Absolutely serious. Have you been reading this thread? The OP needs to start at ground zero and stop just trying every tool he/she sees. My purpose was to get this person to do some research and I was establishing a knowledge baseline. One plan I was considering was to help the OP install the GNex toolkit then locate stock images and obtain a working build. Your cryptic one liner bit should prove vastly more useful to this guy though. I'll let you have at it and go back to my dev work. lol at least this post was a good way to make sure gapps/root capabilities are properly cooked into my latest test build ....

U r right i am not good in android but i tried to be and this happens, meanwhile nothing shows after i start the device it shows the !!!! mark with device the PC logo,this happens due to ODin actually the SUMSUNG ADB interface shows ! mark because i cant debug from device even no bootloader works any more thnkz for replying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
*facepalm*

OP, you are holding it wrong.

I can think of at least 2 ways to recover from a situation like this. Both are well described in these forums (search works 99% of the time).

....

Oh come on, you don't have the zip of the last rom you flashed, get another one, hey, its free right? **** we dont know nothing about but we'll flash it anyways!

Man...If you have cwm recovery, you're safe. No need to go messing with fastboot (forget odin) just yet. Now stop wasting everybody's time and learn to help yourself.

Here's a few tags to get you started:

cwm, recovery, adb, bootloader, fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salym:
i tried more than one day on this issue its only starts with !!! mark on it nothing else, i have attached the pic i cant access any bootloader or any cwm or any thing all i did with Odin and stuck to attached pic even i start the device its shows the same pic.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
As I suspected earlier, it appears that the OP may have trashed his bootloader partition when he tried using Odin to flash the 4.0.2 factory image (which includes a bootloader). At one point he had CWM but not any more since he can't boot to the recovery partition.

Another possibility is that the Odin tool itself places the device in this mode and it can't be manually reverted by starting up in fastboot mode. Looking at the picture, it literally appears that the phone is saying that a flashing operation is half finished but the phone has lost the PC connection... This would be a lot like what I've experienced with iPhones.

In either case, I can deduce that Odin is the tool to use to clear this softbrick.

Hopefully, it'll be flame-off now Sdobron. Perhaps you might want to help out here since I'm not up to speed on the Odin tool myself and would like to learn more about it.

@salym: I know this may be redundant but I need to establish your problem baseline empirically. Once again, can you verify that when you hold vol down/vol up then press power that you get the image you posted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anterus:
Use Fastboot!

Dude, it looks like your problem is with crappy boot sector.

While turning on your phone, hold both volume up and volume down buttons, and long press power button untill you feel single vibrate feedback.

Then connect your phone to the computer via USB, and if it doesn't detect drivers, google "samsung android usb driver". Additionally you can install PDANet application (X64 or x86 depending on you system).

THen download Fastboot - there are plenty of instructions how to flash it, and flash stock images (that come with radio, boot sector, rom itself, etc) - there are also plenty of discussions about how to do it. PM if you have any other questions!

thankz again for replying, pressing up and down key with power button still shows the same pic which i have posted, only flashing with odin it stops in middle I use only PDA and PHONE menu in Odin u will find the blue line in the posted pic there its stops.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
Ok, please carefully read through this thread then lets talk. I posted a link there that provides more info which you might want to follow too.

In the above thread, the OP uses Odin to flash a new kernel (happens to be chainfire's insecure kernel) to the boot partition to restore his bl from a previously aborted Odin flashing session. Interestingly, it may be the fact that odin successfully completed that actually fixed his error. Do you understand what I'm getting at here? This may be a good way to get you started because you really need fastboot to reflash a factory 4.0.2 image to your device to fix your original issue back when you still had CWM.

Your device has several partitions:

bootloader partition is where the intial bootloader resides. It is very dangerous to alter the contents of this partition. Unfortunately, this is where your current problem appears to lie.

boot partition is where the linux kernel resides

cache partition is where temporary data resides. I believe davlik cache is here too. Davlik is precompiled java for all practical purposes

system partition is where the /system mountpoint is. Pretty much everything that turns a generic linux into a functioning distro (think Android, Ubuntu, CentOS etc) resides here

userdata partition. Your info including the "sdcard" is here

The thought here is to flash a new kernel to the boot partition with odin. It won't necesarily fix your overall problem, but it should get you back to the normal fastboot enabled bootloader (pressing the key combinations will bring up the fastboot screen) since odin will restore this when a successful flash completes.

Once we have the fastboot screen back, then we can talk about your other problems and how to solve them :)

What we need is kernel to flash using Odin. Ideally, we could use the one in the above referenced thread but the links are dead. Unfortunately I don't know that much about Odin (yet) so I can't help with a step by step with links. Maybe somebody else want to help out here?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
Don't you have a GSM GNex? Looks like you have a CDMA/LTE ROM on your device. That's why you aren't showing a baseband. You should reload the GSM factory image. Who is your operator btw?

I recommend doing this with mskip's GNex toolkit located here.

Obtain your factory image from here

You will need to have your phone in fastboot mode to flash this image with the toolkit. First place the factory tgz file into the tookit's put_google_factory_image_here folder then just follow the instructions.

Hopefully your EFS is still intact...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salym:
thnkz its GSM i have downloded the two things now i have open the toolkit in that what to chose to flash please help there are 25 options
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
look for "Extract and flash google factory stock rom". s/b option 8 or 9

make sure that on the top FASTBOOT MODE shows your device attached

make sure that you chose 4.0.2 (Build ICL53F) as your version from the initial menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] salym:
Professional one

HURRAYY i am back to normal every thing is fine now please give me advice for good rom and kernel for battery and performance pleaseeeee thank so much i should get a BEER for u MUAHHH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
That advice I can't give you. Personally, I'm very happy with the leaked 4.0.4 which is LTE only fttb and I'm making my own "Ultimate ROM" from AOSP. Rumor has it that the next big OTA soak for GSM/LTE is coming within a month or so which will fix a lot of problems with 4.0.2.

btw: now that you have the toolkit, its trivial to root using the insecure kernel method.

FYI that method works by simply flashing an "insecure" (root is given to any account) kernel to the boot partition, copying the su binary to /system/xbin and /superuser.apk to /system/app, then setting the appropriate permissions. Once finished, it flashes back to your stock kernel.

Also...

I learned something myself here that others might find interesting. Apparently, your phone was stuck in "download mode" which can be enabled on a GNex by holding volume down then pressing power. Odin uses download mode as its flashing interface to any phone including the GNex. Of course the problem with download mode is that if a flashing operation is interrupted then the phone is stuck, will display the picture you posted no matter what you try, and can only be cleared programmatically. Many people call this a "soft brick"

Odin will clear "download mode" when it successfully completes a flash operation. Apparently, there is a also command line program called heimdall that can clear this too. Not verified for GNex though. Follow this link for a step by step (including all software links) on using Odin/Heimdall. Warning: this guide is for a Fascinate not a GNex. You may bork your device if you play with this! Best to use this for informational purposes only since even getting to DL mode on a GNex is very different from the way they describe it for a Fascinate...

The potential for download mode to create a soft brick is one reason why I consider fastboot mode a much better way to flash. The drawback here is that flashing to the userdata partition always clears your "sdcard" data. Ultimately, this makes CWM flashing with a zip file the best way for "rom flashing junkies"...

Turns out that pasting com.google.android.maps.xml and com.google.android.maps.jar into /system/etc/permissions and /system/framework/ respectively was part of the answer, but permissions need to be set to Owner/Read, Owner/Write, Group/Read, and Others/Read.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suxi:
Hello everyone

I hope one of you might be able to help. I wanted to downgrade my Note to stock GB because I lost root on an ICS leak. I have done this successfully before but today pc odin suddenly hangs in the middle of flashing the factoryfs.img of a stock kernel (I used this one but tried others as well: N7000XXKJ4_N7000VD2KJ1_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5).

Because of this I can now only boot the phone into download mode. I have also tried to use a pit file (as you can see in the screenshot, where I used this file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit), because I thought the partitions might have been corrupted or changed by the ICS ROM but this didn't help either.

Do you have experienced this before? What else could I try?

Thanks a lot for any help

Why dont people make backups before flashing new roms

Takez 5-6min in CWM to make a backup of your current rom

If any thing goes wrong or you just want to go back to the old rom you just run the restore and you are back up and running in under 10min
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
Shouldnt have needed Odin to downgrade, if ya created a firmware folder on ya sd and followed ketans cwm guide to flash bk to rooted stock ya wouldt have an issue.

As for odin you flashed wrong, previous comments are right, your re-partition shouldnt have been on if you were flashing the all in one firmware thru pda, and you certainly shouldnt have been using the pit file to do that.

Hope you sorted the issue out, seriously, its risky business, the guides here on xda are perfect working guides, make sure you read them thoroughly and familiarize yourself with what your doing beforehand.

Also noted your using odin 1.85, i had issues with this, i reverted to odin 1.83 and have never had a problem since, give it a try, but if ya can enter download mode then ya shouldnt have an issue, i would reccomend downloading firmware KL8, set the pit file, re-partition and the other 2 leave ticked, set modem, code and multi csc, and flash and dont touch it till its finished and reboots, after that ya can then go and do whatever, but this should work, i downgraded from ics to kl8 no problem with odin 1.83.

Relax fellas! :D Your Notes are not committing mass suicides... just yet. :D Use the pit file attached below to flash your favorite (rootable) stock Gingerbread ROM. :) Just hit the "PIT" button in ODIN and select the pit file.

Hey guys, thought I'd share the accessories I've gathered up so far for the note...mostly to point out that I recommend them all. The iGo Stowaway BT keyboard is awesome, works wonders for me...coding on the fly, taking notes in class, etc. I've got a SanDisk 64gb sdxc card in there: works great (once you format to fat32). Got a Mountek car mount, MT5000-c: the one that slips in to the CD player...love that thing, basically have a TV in the car, the wife is spoiled when we're driving around! The spare batteries are by Hyperion, seem to hold their charge pretty well...no complaints yet, can't go wrong with 3 batteries in rotation (the other hyperion is in the GNote)...The case is a cheap Otterbox type of case minus the screen protection (i forget who makes them): so far it's awesome and will work until I get a defender case or something, it has a kick-stand too (flimsy, but works)...my only complaint about the case is that the MHL doesn't fit and I have to remove the case when I want to connect it. And finally, the MHL cable by Skivia, also works great (no issues with audio). Just waiting on my USB OTG cable to arrive from China...I'll be using that mainly to connect a mouse. Post your pics!
