look at my signature, best rom easiest root and s-off all in one dude,,,:cool:,,,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
Hi, I ask that because the "+"volume buttom of my phone was broken, so that my phone can only boot into the Odin mode/download mode.

Also, my phone can't boot normally becase I flash something wrong so it got a bootloop, so how can I get in the cwm if I just have the Odin mode/download mode? Thx!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhernand1102:
You can use the galaxy nexus toolkit to boot it into cwm recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No he cannot.

@OP: There is no way to get to recovery (that I know of) without either a) being able to boot into Android, or b) having access to the bootloader.

EDIT: You can try an Odin flash to flash all the stock images, and then go from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
Will I lose all my data(even music, photos and my backup) if I flash a stock images?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can try removing the userdata image from the odin .tar. Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, flashing the other images should leave you with your data intact. Note that you will need to wipe data from within CWM if you flash a version of Android (without the userdata image) via Odin that is different than what you are currently running, otherwise it will not boot. But at least you will have whatever is on /sdcard.

No guarantees that it will not wipe /sdcard (as I have never tried it), but based on what I know, it shouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Yes, Odin will wipe everything. I have the sane issue currently with my volume down key, but luckily no software issues.

I'm wondering if this busted volume key thing is a common occurrence, or if you and I just got lemons. Gonna have mine looked at tomorrow.

Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It should NOT wipe everything IFF: 1) your bootloader is already unlocked, AND 2) you remove the userdata image from the .tar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
So now I download the stock images from google and flash with Odin MODE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, the images need to be packed into a .tar so that odin can flash them. What version of Android are you running?

Chainfire has IMM76D images here, and there are some JRO03C images as well somewhere. In order for you to be able to boot without wiping, you need to flash the same version of Android that you are currently on, or add CWM to the package (renamed to recovery.img) so that you can wipe data. Otherwise, you will not be able to boot. Follow the instructions carefully -- make sure you do not have re-partition checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
My phone is running android 4.1.1,so which one I should download?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to make a .tar using the boot and system images from JRO03C. I don't think there is one already pre-made.

1) Download the JRO03C factory image corresponding to the build that you are running (yakju or takju), and extract the system.img and boot.img files.

2) Download CWM 5.5.0.2 and rename it to recovery.img.

You should now have 3 images: system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. Next is to package them for use with odin. This needs to be done either 1) on a linux box, or 2) on a Windows PC running cywin, or 3) on your phone (I believe).

tar -H ustar -c system.img boot.img recovery.img > ODIN_JRO03C.tar

md5sum -t ODIN_JRO03C.tar >> ODIN_JRO03C.tar

mv ODIN_JRO03C.tar ODIN_JRO03C.tar.md5

Now you should have one file ODIN_JRO03C.tar.md5 which you can load up and flash with Odin. Follow the instructions in Chainfire's thread that I linked to earlier.

Hey guys..

I was just wondering whats the BEST android launcher in your opinion?

My personal favorite is Zeam Launcher. I like its minimalistic look and its blazing fast too. It does not have any fancy features and it works great.

I also like Holo Launcher. I am still on Gingerbread so the Holo Launcher is a very appealing choice for me to try out because it is an ICS launcher. Holo Launcher works great and is one of my favorite. It has a lot of cool features but for some reason.. I keep finding myself going back to Zeam.

So guys... Whats your favorite android launcher?

You guys should also check out my review of the best android launchers here:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super2cool:
I am sorry but what are you talking about?

Yeah.. A lot of people have told me to get Apex because its the "best" launcher for android if you have ICS. Unfortunately, I don't have ICS like most people. I hope to get a new phone though then I will be able to review ICS apps as well :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbelzapf:
If you like minimal and fast, try lightning launcher. I've been using it for months on all my devices now. It's great and let's you do loads of things that are just impossible on other launchers, like freely placing and rotating widgets and icons
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super2cool:
Hey mate... I have actually tried this and I would agree with you that it is probaly the fastest launcher I have ever seen. However, it is not for everyone because their is only ONE home screen.

It may be fast but with only one home screen... its severely limited and putting apps on the home screen can sometimes screw up the grid. You just have to a little bit careful when you are placing or moving apps. Otherwise, its a great launcher.

Thanks for reminding me about this app mate...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super2cool:
This would make a lot of sense because Go Launcher slows down your phone and if you have a higher end phone... it should be able to handle it fine. But still... Go Launcher is a battery whore.

Hmm... it seems like an impressive app but it seems more like a homescreen customizer. It is a also a whopping $16.80 in the Google Play store... hopefully its a typo but if its not... it seems awfully high for an app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super2cool:
I have been recently wondering...

What's the fastest launcher?

Lightening Launcher is blazing fast but is there anything faster??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
I have purchased tsf ui .. awesomely fast but take huge amount of ram. Nearly 45mb while others take 10-15mbs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuropsychosis:
Its a quality app. We need to be willing to pay for quality apps if we want android to evolve more. That's just a couple of coffee drinks.

And 45mb is low for an eye candy app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super2cool:
45 MB is the size of the app once installed?

Thats HUGE!!! ... I am on a Nexus One and thats like a 1/3 of all the space available on my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Zeam is light, minimal and yet lots of customization, very good.

Apex is also great. Go Launcher is falling behind from my point of view in comparison.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
No the app is just over 17mb installed.

Which is still large on older phones but apps are getting larger these days. (Back in the g1 days people used to say the same thing about apps over 2 or 3mb)

45mb is the ram usage.

That's high.

But not bad for a 3d launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxo60:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznflawless:
For me, Android 2.2+ Holo Launcher, 4.0+ Nova launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snc74:
Well, thats depend on what kind of launcher you want. Light? Try Zeam launcher. For ics? Two: Apex and Nova launcher. Holo hd is good, but Apex and Nova are better. Now, if you are using a dual core device, and want to spend $15 look for spb 3d shell and/or TSF 3d launcher. Those are just amazing on how smooth and good looking are. But beware: this last two hogs many ram, that's why is better to use on high-end phones, so keep that in mind. Hope it helps!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaosStorm:
I was a sworn user of GO Launcher but over and over it kept eating the battery and memory of my low end phone; since two days ago I changed to Holo Launcher and so far so good. It looks nice and doesn't use as many resources as GO did; for the time being, I'm sticking with this one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xips:
Went from battery/resource hawg go to 360. Basic 360 launcher has the features and reduces workload with efficient layout so I'm not spending all my time futzing with the launcher. Indexed app drawer is one feature I enjoy for time saving app startup. My screen touches are kept to minimum to get the job done. Keeps desktop clutter down so I can enjoy my wallpaper and keep busy bodies out of my biz. I don't need every shortcut/widget placed on 9 desktops (although you can do that with 360). Desktop gesture configurable. Plugins/addons provide moar function. 360 is feature packed without sacrificing resources/battery. High speed - low drag.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cturcu2004:
Hi.

I have a Galaxy S+ I9001. I had cranyum rom installed on it. One day it just restarted and after it got stuck in bootloop.

It onlyshows SAMSUNG logo, and then restarts and so on...

I can't get into recovery using 3 button combo, but I can get into download mode.

The problem is that it appears to write ok with Odin Multi downloader 4.43, but when it gets to the reboot part, the phone just power off and gets to the same bootloop. If I disconnect the usb cable, it shows a vertical battery icon, then black screen, again battery icon, and so on... Tryed with a different battery witch was charged to 100% before flashing because I tought that it was running low on battery, but the result was the same.

Tryed many different firmware and same behavior.

Is it possible to be a hardware problem?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
