Make a command prompt shortcut on your desktop. Right click and click new then shortcut then cmd for location and cmd for name. Once that's done right click on the cmd shortcut you made and run as administrator. Then adb kill-server and then adb start-server. Now try adb devices and see if your device is now recognized. If it is then awesome you can get to recovery by adb reboot recovery and bootloader by adb reboot bootloader.

Edit...

Just noticed I typed killer server lol by accident. It's adb kill-server. Now fixed above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
i type "adb kill-server" in the cdm prompt that opens after i run it as admin? cuz it dsnt look like that does anything...and it still says device not found
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g4ry12:
I'm new here, coming from another phone, a Galaxy S variant. There, we had a little contraption called a download jig. You put that thingie into a USB port, and a phone goes straight into the download mode. Don't know if such thing exists for Nexus. Does it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Hmm... That's something you could do. A jib..... I'd like to know more, perhaps it will work, they're both Samsung, after all.

Andro X, I was hoping you were leading to ODIN lol.

What about ODIN? Try getting that set up and hitting start on ODIN just as you power on your Galaxy Nexus. Don't hold your breath, though, it may fail like getting adb commands working, because you're not in bootloader or Android.

adb kill-server is instantaneous, you wouldn't see any real output on command prompt- that is normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
yeah but making th enew shortcut didnt help. i went to program files/android master. shift right click and open a cmd window there. from there i did the commands. there was some response but still the phone was not found
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
okay here is what im coming up with. i can open the phone and find the contacts for where the volume attaches. does anyone know what i can do from there? soldering the volume button back on is not an option. ive been trying that all day. only thing left is shorting the contacts so the phone is fooled into a state where the buttons are held. there are 3 contacts. anyone know which ones i should be shorting? or if thats even workable? i may have completely screwed the contacts by now....ive tried maybe 40 times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
OMG!!!!!! i just did some soldering. pressed power button and now im in ODIN MODE. idk what this means.....all it says is "downloading do not turn off target. what do i do??????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
Uh... Flash something

I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
how?? it wont let me do anything. its in odin mode....cant do recovery with adb. not sure what odin mode even does
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegtfusion:
if you have correctly installed the samsung drivers, you can flash a rom via odin (proggram on your computer.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
oh man do i need ur help now. how do i do that? when i rooted the phone im sure all the drivers installed correctly. but where do i get the odin program??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
If you have skills in soldering, why not just buy a new volume button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
my skills are not that good. and i wanna fix it asap lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
God I hate soldering....

Anyway, Google around, ODIN is a program you run on Windows that is like RUU for HTC phones and RSD Lite for Motorola phones- ODIN flashes for Samsung phones, bootloader, radio, ROM, etc. Use it to either flash a custom ROM or return completely to stock (if you plan on returning this for warranty replacement, return to stock of course).

I haven't used ODIN since the OG 7" Galaxy Tab, so I don't really remember everything, but again, Google is your friend.

Just know that the mode you are in with the yellow triangle is the mode you need to be in for ODIN and that it can flash a ROM to get you to a bootable Android OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
Odin can be found several places such as the stickies. Plug your phone into your computer, and it should install the drivers by itself, if not you can locate and download them from Samsungs website. Once you have them, odin will confirm that your phone is recognized via a yellow (I believe) bar. Odin flashes firmware in tar file format, so obviously you need to locate a tar format rom to flash (I recommend something stock for any and all troubleshooting). Click the pda button in odin, select that file, and hit start. Read up before you go for it, as this was an extremely fast and loose explanation, but if you have odin capabilities, that's an extremely good thing for your phone at this point.

I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donavo:
interesting. will do. thanks. im already about to pull my hair out because of this lol. soldering is like a hit or miss.....sometimes it works just by chance...sometimes u end up pushing a big ass blob of metal around untl u give up. which is where im almost at....lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
Not a problem, odin has saved my @ss on several occasions with my i777. Just use xda's search, and look up "gsm nexus odin" I tool a quick peek, and everything you need should be there, may have to sort through some of the threads just telling people to use fast boot lol but its there. Best of luck.

I recently installed Android x86 4.0.4 RC1 build(around 4 months ago) and haven't felt the need for a screenshot app till now. Is there any that works? The ICS shorcut doesn't work, since the power button on laptops are registered as separate inputs. Also, the Fn key and the F4 button are two additional presses. Can anyone recommend a good screenshot app that works?

What is ddifferent 1-Click Gremlin Remover and Heimdall One-Click ?

When I flash new ROM. I use this way.

1. Heimdal One-Click to STOCK

2. Rooting

3. Flash CWM or TWRP

4. Flash NEW ROM.

I read this OP about 1-click Gremlin Remover.

I use this one time. but looks like same. Right?

1-click Gremlin Remover make my phone GB 2.3.4,aready rooted and CWM.

So, I think 1-click GRemlin Remover and Heimdall One-Click is SAME.

Is this Right?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
The gremlin remover is based on odin which is official samsung application. Heimdall is open source built by the community.

Gremlin remover as you stated will put you on 2.3.4 (at least the previous version) and the heimdall one clicks are stock kj6. They both do the same thing just in a slightly different way.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mjmjhkgh:
Thanks replay.

They both do the same thing just in a slightly different way.

This means remove Gremlin same but differnet way. ???

What can I do to start my android ?

Sorry for my little english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buffon95:
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.

about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustavo_s:
take your battery out, put it back

hold:

volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode

reflash your rom, kernel and stuff

if nothing works download odin (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)

hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode

from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.

post with more details next time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakipis:

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.

with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.

if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

I am also very curious what he installed to make his phone behave like this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam Hui:
Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u:)

Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).

if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.

Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You might try cleaning up space, but if that doesn't work try reflashing Amon Ra. You can find a PH98IMG.zip on my goo.im page linked in my sig.
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
cleaning didn't work, but i was going to flash a RUU anyway and will reflash amon ra after.
[HTC Rezound] jscarano:
I have been having ton of issues with recoveries lately . Amonra didnt want to restore any of my backups and had issues seeing my sd card. Let us know if flashing the RUU fixes your issue.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
It won't. I had the same issue, and I RUU'd twice and reflashed amon ra twice. It didn't work either time. I switched to TWRP and now it works like a charm.

So...KelpoOrganic don't flash Amon Ra; just flash TWRP instead
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
What are the major differences between the two though?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
This is a problem when using the soff method there is a way to fix by formatting sd card in amonra and on your phone twice... Back up sd card first

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Either in "developer" or "other".

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Yep. But always backup just in case.

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Sorry, go to "wipe", then go down and select "wipe /sd-ext".
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
it didn't do anything, just said "Skipping format of /sd-ext
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Just screw amon ra and go to twrp; you'll love it, as did I!
[HTC Rezound] jscarano:
Or better yet try CWM . Only one that's not giving me issues.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
And not charge? I don't think so.

And TWRP doesn't work for certain ROMs.

Amon Ra has the best compatibility.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
this is true
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
Reflashing the RUU and reflashing amon ra does not work, same problem. Also, on the bootloader screen on the top of UNLOCK, it also says TAMPERED now. What does that mean? I havn't seen it before.

EDIT

I found out what the tampered symbol meant, just something from a leaked RUU. I think ill switch to TWRP for right now.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yay
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
I just had this same problem on my Rezound. I had to switch to ClockworkMod recovery to make backups again. I did not know of TWRP so I didnt try it.

I formatted both SD Cards, and reflashed RUU, and Amon ra. Nothing worked. Kept saying "Oops, something went wrong. Check the log."

I have a feeling they turn pink or red and they are the W1 and W2 under the back cover but I can't find a definitive answer. Can someone that has dropped this phone in water and triggered them confirm it for me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
When I exchanged mine the rep looked at the white dot to the LEFT of the battery. Don't think the W1 and W2 are the water indicators.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daargoth:
I had the unfortunate experience of dropping mine in water about 2 months ago. There are 2 indicators that are easily seen to my knowledge with just removing the back cover:

- Just to the left of the battery approx 2/3 the way up from the bottom of the phone there is a little hole with a normally white dot indicator. This will turn red if subjected to water

- The battery also has an indicator on the bottom where the charging contacts are. This is normally a white strip that will also turn red when subjected to water

Just a note that mine was -fully- submerged for approximately 60 seconds and it took about another 60 seconds before I got the battery out (fumbling a wet phone to get the back cover off). I popped the battery out and put all of the separate pieces fully covered in about an inch of rice both on top and bottom for about 24 hours. After turning everything back on things were crackling and popping for a bit and I resigned myself to just getting a new one. However I left it on and the next day it worked completely fine! Nothing is different and works just like when it was new a few months prior.

Kudos to Samsung for making a phone that can take this and still keep working!

Hope this helps.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dankest:
That would be insurance fraud my friend. Not the best place to discuss that type of thing. Replacing it for yourself is one thing, replacing it and sending in for warranty as if nothing happened = no no. I would just go into the best buy store tell them your speaker isn't working.

Maybe I misunderstood, I thought you were trying to replace the water damage indicator then take it into best buy and say that you had bought the phone and the speaker didn't work hoping they would replace it for free due to the fact that you recently bought it, because of your mistake of dropping it in the toilet.

Unfortunately the previous poster is right. I know its not exactly helpful to just say not to let it fall in water but its true. If you haven't let the phone dry out completely I'd try the bag of white rice trick. Its a last ditch effort but it has been proven to work in some cases. Drop the phone in a bag of rice for 24 hours and see if it soaks up any moisture.

The insurance is there for this very purpose. Fraud is an illegal action and for legal matters, encouraging it on XDA is not allowed.

If the indicator is red, and every attempt to get it fully working has failed, then use your insurance. $200 to replace is better than full price.
