Check here

If your Command Prompt displays the message "waiting for device" your driver wasn't successfully installed.

Close the Command Prompt window and open Device manager while your phone is still plugged in. (Search for it using the search option).

Right Click the "Android" option and select Update Driver. Choose to "Browse My Computer" and "Let Me Pick From A List." Pick the Samsung driver with the newest date and install it. Now retry the code above.

Your phone will ask if you want to unlock it. Select "Yes" by using the volume keys and use power to select it.

Now, navigate to "Recovery Mode" with the volume keys. Use power to select.

A screen with another Android will pop up. Press Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power all at the same time.

Select Factory Reset. This process may take a few minutes. Be patient and let it work.

Once finished, select "Reboot."

Your phone is now unlocked!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rwong48:
Can't believe that actually did it for me (to access Android, not bootloader, via adb).. something's up with docking station USB ports. I used drivers from Samsung's site for the Sprint GNex.

While in the bootloader I get the "Android 1.0" device (18d1:4e30) in Device Manager. I don't know which driver to use but I tried a few, all of which showed nothing in adb. The C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\ folder has a bunch of drivers but none are obviously fit.

Sorry, but which driver is "the Samsung driver with the newest date"? This one makes the most sense to me, but it still doesn't work.

Edit: Got it to work. For the record, device type/class is "Android USB Devices" and the Samsung list showed 3:

ADB device, Sept 2011

ADB device, something 2010

Composite ADB device

I chose the first one.

Also be sure to check functionality with `fastboot devices`, not `adb devices` like me :)

I was able to unlock my phone but for some reason - I can't root it - I have tried using the instructions for adding clockwork mod from the nexus thread and after I run it - it appears to install but when I get to 'recovery' I don't see the usual option to install from SD card - so I am obviously doing somethin wrong - this is the file I ran - "recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-toro.img - any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Any help?

3. Is anything broken?

I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader and flashed recovery via fastboot (both versions of CWM and TWRP as well), but the SU binary doesn't seem to be taking properly. The SU app seems to be installed but no root access. I've tried two different SU.zip files.

This one-

STUCK with Android and Exclamation Mark in Recovery

I am stuck -

Unlocked my Phone

Ran the same Toro CWM file that most seem to have run and it looked like it worked -

When I tried to go into Recovery - I ahve a little android guy with an exclamation mark on his back - now, I can still fast boot my phone with ADB - but when I tried to re-install CWM (thinking that maybe it didn't work the first time) I get an error message and the phone doesnt get the CWM File - not sure what i am doing wrong - tried to follow QB Kings Videos and did everyhting he did step by step - but I am getting hung up when I try to flash the CWM - and I have to think it has somethign to do with that error screen I mentioned (android guy with exclamation)

Any help would be greatly apprecaited - I know enough to be dangerous - so your guidance is greatly appreciated.

thanks -

Alright here is a stupid question, How do you mount the internal memory in TWRP? I went to Mount & nothing I do in there produce any results

Ah ok, I would thank u but I'm out for the moment

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Did you follow this after u got to the screen with the Android & Exclamation?

Your phone will ask if you want to unlock it. Select "Yes" by using the volume keys and use power to select it.

Now, navigate to "Recovery Mode" with the volume keys. Use power to select.

A screen with another Android will pop up. Press Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power all at the same time.

Select Factory Reset. This process may take a few minutes. Be patient and let it work.

Once finished, select "Reboot."

Continue where u left off from this guide & u shouldn't have any problems

Your phone is now unlocked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
i flashed this i thought this was a recovery ?? its taking for ever at the BAMF PARADIGM screen what do i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No, I am working with some users with a rom. That was *not* a recovery. If it boots (it might), you will want to restore. It is missing a sim required apk.

If you didn't wipe before flashing...it will not boot. You will need to go back to a nandroid to get back to working again.

If you noticed when I posted that, I quoted joypunk, because he was working with me.

TO ALL: I AM NOT POSTING RECOVERIES. DO NOT FLASH IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A NANDROID OR FEAR THE UNKNOWN. Thanks.

Yes I'm in Fastboot but when I try to push something I get error device not found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
what i did.

coming from nexus s 4g i already had adb installed

1. so i downloaded and installed the VZW Galaxy Nexus Drivers (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW)

2. booted into bootloader via adb

adb reboot bootloader

3. flashed the TWRP recovery img for sprint via adb

(http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/92)

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-toroplus-2.1.2.img

4. rebooted

put Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed on nexus storage

5. booted into twrp recovery via the bootloader

flashed Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed via twrp recovery

6 rebooted

updated SU via market

7. updated busybox viz market

(busybox installer in market)

8. im good till we get some sprint custom roms im reading some people are having issues with vzw versions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You can use fastboot to boot twrp, and then push it that way, yeah? While booted to twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
you must not have the adb divers installed. u need phone drivers and adb drivers installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
I'll give it a go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
finally got this thing rooted with full twrp 2.1.1 thanks for all the help now just wating for some roms to come out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
unless im mistaken ion think you can mount a mtp storage the way we mount sd storage. so i havent been able to transfer files unless my phone is booted normally, cant in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Still a no go. I think attempting to change the DPI erase my build prop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
reboot the phone does adb recognize it then?

do you stiill have debugging turned on?

try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

your doing it wrong

if its saying file not found do it this way.

start your phone normally

start adb

type adb devices to make sure adb sees it

type adb reboot bootloader

once in bootloader

***MAKE SURE THAT THE RECOVERY IMG FILE IN YOUR ROOT C:/ FOLDER ON PC***

(Lil trick i learned when things arent working right)

now in boot loader type adb flash recovery c:\twrp-toroplus-2.1.2.img

it should push it that way.

if its saying file not found do it this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Yeah thanks I tried all of that. As of now I can only get into recovery, Odin & bootloader mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
fill me in, what are you trying to do?

Still no sim card aka no cell signal. Otherwise same as test #2.

I'm trying to push a couple zips to my internal memory to get my phone booting again but it looks like Odin is my only option at this point. I should've nand from the jump but I didn't thank changing the DPI of the screen back to default would hose my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If you remember and get a chance, please start a logcat for me as soon as the phone boots.

adb shell logcat > logcat.txt

I need it for several minutes after boot too when you get the no sim message.

Any info of when you would actually be able to use LTE on sprint? Personally I will stay with verizon, but just wondering when LTE is to roll out with sprint. I got the e-mail to get the nexus on sprint and did notice that it says it will run on sprints 3g for the moment. Well for those that did get the nexus on sprint I hope you are within one of the cities they initially planed for LTE, and most importantly that they have it soon.
