[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mojo1633:
Let me start by first saying I'm brand new to the forum and have never rooted, unlocked, or flashed anything, so I'm a total novice. Any help is therefore greatly appreciated! I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus, and I've decided to manually install a Jelly Bean Rom, rather than waiting for Verizon's slow ass. I'm trying to use Wug Fresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to do so, but I can't even get started because I can't get Windows to recognize the device when connected via USB. I know there are many other threads about this, but I can't seem to get a straightforward answer for my exact situation. I've installed all the drivers I can find - the official Samsung drivers, the drivers included in the toolkit, and some naked drivers found here on XDA. Nothing seems to work. I've tried it on three different machines - XP, Visa, and W7. The message I get when I try to manually configure/select the drivers is something to the effect that the most current software/driver is already installed, despite the fact Windows says there's no driver and doesn't recognize the device. Oh, and one last thing, I've now tried this on two different GNex's - Verizon just replaced mine for signal loss issues, and the new one has the new build number IMM76Q. I'm at a complete loss and extremely frustrated. Help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoorCollegeGuy:
Lol just be forewarned, a lot of douchebags may come in here and make fun of you. Ignore them, they don't represent XDA ;)

I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus in a few days (mine's the Sprint one), but I'm going to be using mskip's GNex Toolkit. No worries, he has one for the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400871

I would download that and use it to install the drivers. If that doesn't work, mskip has a pretty extensive FAQ and I believe drivers on Windows is answered in the 1st solution in post 3...so follow the link, download THAT toolkit, see if the drivers install properly and if not, go to post 3 and follow the instructions for "fastboot drivers".

Next time, try to use the search bar please. It is a rule around here to do so because it's XDA, which means every question has been asked and answered a million times lol :) no big deal, just be more weary in the future!

**edit**

first post, huh? Welcome to XDA :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
The Universal Naked Driver is the one you want, it include the ADB FastBoot drivers required to do flashings (link in my sig). The Samsung driver from Samsung Kies is a different driver so the computer could recognize the phone storage.

Make sure you use the official USB cable or a quality one to get good connection. Uninstall all unncessary Android drivers from other devices and the Nexus too, reboot, connect the Nexus, when it ask for a driver poing it to the Universal Naked Driver folder. If the installation still fail, try a different computer.

Sometimws the Nexus might be attached to the wrong ADB driver, when you connect it, you can go to Device Manager and uninstall the ADB driver, but also selecting the option to delete the driver from the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mojo1633:
Thanks both of you for your help so far. I tried installing these naked drivers but no still luck. I don't have any preexisting Android drivers on the computer, but how would I uninstall drivers on the Nexus? The message I get when I try to update the drivers to these is that Windows could not find a better match for the hardware than you currently have installed. I checked the Driver Details and the driver it has listed is C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\klfltdev.sys. I've tried numerous times "uninstalling" the driver, rebooting the computer, and starting the process over again but still no luck. I'm unable to actually remove this system file from my computer. I've been trying to do this on a work computer running XP, but I tried the naked drivers on a Vista machine as well, and I still get a similar message about the software already being the best match when I try to point Windows to these drivers (again, no other drivers installed on that machine). I'm so frustrated...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mojo1633:
I have done all of this, including following the complete instructions and trying all options at http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

Still nothing seems to work. I am at a complete and total loss, and am entirely discouraged. For the life of me, I can't believe it's so utterly difficult just to properly install device drivers on a developer phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifly4vamerica:
Ok I am sure you have done this but thought I would check. USB debugging needs to be enabled so settings developer options then enable usb debugging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mojo1633:
Yes, I turned debugging on. Never hurts to check, though. I'd love for the solution to be something so simple that I just overlooked.

First of all, DO NOT USE TOOLKITS!

I know it is easier for you, since you are new to this rooting stuff, but trust me on this, 2/3 people who said their phone's bricked used toolkit instead of adb and fastboot method

Now with that out of the way, you can check if you got any other drivers installed by going to Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Device Manager

From there, connect your phone via USB and see driver pop up. If it's something like "Android 1.0", uninstall that, and then install naked driver. If you don't see any driver pop up after connecting, just install naked driver (for me, when I checked USB debugging, Windows automatically installed Samsung ADB driver that works well for me.). If you see something like "Samsung ADB Interface Driver", you should be able to use adb commands and such.

If you don't have fastboot and adb files, make sure you do this step!: After that, you should download adb files, fastboot files (adb and fastboot files can be found from Efrant's attachment from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895), and Android SDK (If you already have SDK for some reason, just download adb file and fastboot file ). After downloading Android SDK, put the folder in somewhere easy to find. (C:\ directory should do it). Now, put adb and fastboot files inside the platforms file (that can be found from SDK folder)

Now you got files set, go to the directory where you put adb and fastboot files, shift+right click and then click Open Command Prompt Here

Type "adb devices" and if you see one device from the cmd, you are good to go :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mojo1633:
FINALLY! I got it to work. I turns out the problem was just the GD USB cord I was using. I had been using the OEM Samsung that came with the device the entire time, so I obviously had no reason to believe the problem was the cord, especially considering the device would still charge when plugged into the computer or the AC outlet. I just happened to purchase a cheapy Chinese charging station that came with a USB cord and that did the trick. I guess I just got a lemon of a cord the first time. I could've been saved so much aggravation, but oh well! I'm no running the latest BAMF Paradigm Jelly Bean ROM, and it's sweet! Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions!

hey so i just went on RA reovery and super wiped it... then i flashed the digital karma rom and the apps from my old rom are still there! so its not a fresh install?? i need help with this please
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
When u logged into to your Google account was restore from Google checked? That will reinstall all of your previously installed apps. Or if your SD is partitioned for a2sd and u didn't wipe sd-ext the apps will remain symlinked, I'm pretty sure the superwipe scripts don't wipe sd-ext cuz some ppl don't like to wipe it so they don't have to restore apps after every flash

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If u decide to partition just copy the contents of your SD to your PC and the copy em back after the partition. My guess is restore from Google was checked and it reinstalled all of your apps(it does it in the background so u don't see it happening)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Go back to recovery, and manually do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik 2x each, the rom will still be installed but all data and apps will get wiped. You won't have to flash again but u will need to set all your settings back up

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It only wipes user data not the NV data, its what you would do if you didn't use super wipe before installing a rom. The worst is you'll have to set your apn back up for mms like after flashing a rom.

Edit: alternatively you can just manually do all the wipes 3x (don't wipe the SD card) and then reflash the rom this will insure a clean install and no lag, the lag is from mismatched data stuck in there somewhere causing a conflict

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you're wanting GB I'd go with cm7.2 from cyanogenmod.com under the supersonic stable builds, it has the T-Mobile ttheme engine so you install themes as apks and then change them from inside the rom without having to flash. There are tons of themes and with the right combo you can make it look like ICS with GB stability and everything working

Edit: also you will notice your phone being more responsive on aosp and you will have alot of ram freed up, sense is a damned hawg when it comes to ram

No problem. If you go with cm7.2 you can get themes on the playstore just search cm7 themes, there's a ton of free ones on there, and there's a new launcher called Holo launcher on the playstore that's an ICS style launcher that wworks on GB and holo launcher HD is a jelly bean launcher for GB, they actually work on froyo and up

Since rooting my phone it has started to put capital 'I's mid word when I try to edit mid sentence as in commenting on Twitter prior to a link.

In fact I've just tested it on this app and it won't do it...?

Most odd/annoying.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
If your on 2.3.5(latest OTA) you can't unlock bootloader you can only root/use bootstrap

Edit: To root search here on XDA for the Photon Torpedo method and that *should* work IIRC on 2.3.5 just fine. You can flash P-Roms with bootstrap but not full on ROMS like CM9/CM10/MIUI/ETC without having an unlocked bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] Pihrana:
Confirmation.....

So just to confirm..... If you don't already have an unlocked boot loader and your on the latest OTA update (mines 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US --> The one with 1080p Camcorder) their is no current method to get it unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
No. You can't go backwards to a previous android version either. So please don't just go flashing SBF's thinking it's possible. That seems to be a trend here lately haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] matriX1218:
If you are on its 2.3.5 then don't try to do anything.

You won't be able to flash back to stock even if it is soft bricked as no sbf available right now.

Better stay with current rom and don't even think to mess with it unless devs will come up with some sort of solution.

well hopefully the photon and the atrix both get added to the list. I have been searching both forums for any info I can find and that is the only bit of hope I have found. left my input on there survey for repair (not that it will get me anywhere)
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
I don't think it is a coincidence that we get an OTA that perma-locks our bootloaders, and then a month or so later Moto drops this on us. Maybe they pushed that update so that it would be compatible with their unlocking tool?? food for thought.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
That could very well be the case. Personally, what I'm thinking is going to happen, is that when the Photon does finally get official ICS support, its going to be with a new bootloader that is unlockable via their new unlocking tool. Just my two cents tho
[Motorola Photon 4G] affiatic:
I sure hope I can unlock this thing. The only reason I unlocked it in the first place was because I had a hardware issue where it wouldn't wake up from deep sleep. I was hoping to find a fix which I did but it hurt battery life so when figured out was under warranty sent in they gave me new one yay. nonunlockablee boo. Kind of got used to the freedom of having it unlocked
[General Questions and Answers] countryboy092782:
I've got a rooted (Super SU, but the original root manager was Superuser) LG C800 that I was having problems with. To be specific, I installed some apps on to the system. Some of these apps would be Titanium Backup for root, Avast Mobile Security, ROM Tool Box Lite, Super SU, and a quite a few others. From day one they seem to be kicked right back to my S.D. card, but not all at the same time, and some would stay on the system. I read where I should move the apps back to my S.D. card and try to re-install them on the system minus the data. When I did, the phone went nuts. Now it stays in a restart mode but never fully boots up. Can I salvage it, and if so, please tell me how?! I have tried the hard reset/recovery boot where you hold down the power button, volume, and a few other keys, but it did not work. I'm a broke college student and can't really afford to buy a new phone. I used this one for everything including tethering it to get my assignments done at home and turned in on time. Please help! I'm open to suggestions....... My phone will be completely off. When I plug it into my computer, via U.S.B., it automatically turns it on whether I want it to be on or not. Then it starts off in "reboot recovery" mode, will boot all the way to the point to where the home screen would normally turn on, but then it starts in that "boot loop" all over again but never fully boots up before going back to the beginning of that "boot loop" yet again. I can't even get it to register on my laptop as being plugged in. The reason I took the apps I placed on the system off was because sometimes when I'd re-boot the system the apps would be on the system and sometimes back on my S.D. card without my involvement of any kind other than rebooting my phone. Is completing a Nandroid recovery or re-installation of my ROM even possible with my computer no longer recognizing it as even being plugged in? From what I can tell it won't be. Am I fighting a lost cause or is it salvageable?

Rooted myTouch Q 4G, a.k.a. LG C800

I believe it has a 2.3.4 GRJ22-perf, and then something like 2.6.35.7? I can't remember off the top of my head, and I can't pull it up on my phone anymore or else I'd double check.
[General Questions and Answers] Zavon:
Have you tried booting into recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] countryboy092782:
(More about my phone from the original post) Honestly.........I'm not what you may consider technologically inclined. I have however done about as much research online concerning this matter as any one person can do. I've looked it up on all major sites, and many smaller ones too, that post remedies for phone, or "human" if you'd rather, malfunctions. They all talk about still being able to reach a home screen or doing the whole holding the power and volume decrease buttons until I "reboot recovery" screen appears (if that's what you're referring to as doing a recovery reboot as). Don't forget the one where you hold hold the power and volume decrease buttons along with the "A" and "F" keys as well. I even tried one from here where you're supposed to push the genius button after the Android figure leaves the screen. My phone won't allow me to do either. Basically if it's online, I myself, or this girl that's been staying with me, have tried it without any results. On the initial boot the Android figure and the box with the arrow coming out of it show up and it boots until just about the point that it use to switch over to the home screen and it will start the whole "boot loop" over again. The thing is though that the Android figure and box aren't there any other time after the first boot, and with every boot loop it makes after that, the time is reduced from the beginning of the loop to the end when it starts all over again. The phone won't shut off unless I remove the battery and even though my laptop no longer recognizes the device, when I plug my phone into it or another power source and it's off, it automatically turns itself on and begins that boot loop all over again. there is one thing I have yet to try. I read on one site where I could download a custom ROM on my S.D. and then try reboot it, but it never makes it to the point in which the files on my S.D. card are ran, much less scanned. I am still 100% open to any and all suggestions in the diagnosis of this issue. I may record and place a video on one of the more popular "tube" sites to better show or further explain what's happening and then come back on here to post the link?! Feel free to reply back if it's possible you can help before I'm able to complete that later this evening. And thanks for any and all help in advance to everyone.
