Can you get to fastboot or recovery? If so have you tried the tool kit? It will give you choices to execute if you're not to knowledgeable with fastboot commands.

Driver has been installed but I can't reach loader is there any other way to do it? It gives mt the same screen as I posted before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fooman123:
I think you took chance on the phone, but lost..

OMAP utility finds the phone fine and - it loads and and initializes eMMC driver

When loading MLO_4460_HS_PRO - it manages 65536 of 131072 bytes and hangs..

It looks like a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelmotes:
Can you go to the omap flash folder: .\OMAPFlash\Targets\Projects\tuna and there edit omap4460_tuna_hs_pro.txt:

Change

-t 36000 -p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_PRO -2

to

-t 36000 -p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_PRO -2 -rxtx_trace

and please share the results
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
I forgot to mention this but my galaxy nexus is GSM i9250 if it helps. It is a international version

you could use it for parts..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jingleberry:
I get the same exact problem it gets stuck here:

» Sending data (131072 bytes) ::::::::::.......... [65536]

Did you manage to fix it or find out what's wrong?

So the emmc is faulty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
I gave the logs already but i havent recieved a response back from the other poster. I think it might be a faulty EMMC i am not 100% sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
help???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jingleberry:
Does your phone boot up at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
no it doesn't, black screen, OMAP 4460
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemmy_0:
man, i'm also experiencing this with one of mine.

can somebody help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemmy_0:
Hi OP, did you manage to get your GNex fixed?

I'm in the same boat as you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
Nope, haven't been able to fix it so what I did was send it into have a hard brick repair by mobiletechvideos.com lets see how it is after I get it back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemmy_0:
Oh I see.

Please get back here and let us know how things go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jingleberry:
Any updates on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DEEE38:
basically bricked and can't be saved! Shipped it back to UK in order for it to be fixed. I was hoping i would not have to do that but i did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GNexed:
Were you ever able to at least get the device to boot into the bootlader/fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natheist411:
when trying to install a new rom i get the same error (status 7: some symlinks failed) with the cm10 and eclipse ROMs. I don't seem to have any trouble with Buglessbeast and euroskank. I have googled and searched XDA but none of the other threads are for the toroplus.

Edit: Thanks for all the help guys. I'm still having this problem.

Things i have tried: go into mounts and remove the top X on the list.(TWRP)

flashing a stock kernel gets me stuck in a boot loop.

I am using the franco kernel and had this same issue using CWM before switching to TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
You can try this...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qbanlinxx:
If you do a Google search you should find some information on it. Its something with the Franco kernel changing the sdcard. Have to download And move the original back into it's correct place
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Huh?

Op never even made mention to the word "kernel" in his post.

Not to mention kernel is not even running in recovery (which itself is a small os).

Sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Are you using TWRP recovery? If you are that's the issue. The latest update has a flaw, you have to go into recovery, go into mounts and remove the top X on the list. They said they where working on releasing a correction for it. If your not on TWRP then I don't know what's going on.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natheist411:
I was using cwm but switched to TWRP to retry. Same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
Try it when you get into recovery, go to mounts, remove the X on the top option on the list then flash the rom see if it works.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qbanlinxx:
I had this same issue yesterday, and it was related to flashing a kernel. Sorry for trying to help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I have also seen something similar. What most people don't realize is the some kernels, including Franco, change things in /system as well, which messes with some things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Okay, thanks. I was not aware of this. Will checkout some kernel zips to see what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natheist411:
I tried this. Still the same outcome. Thanks anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber:
Has this been fixed? I cant install any ROM!

I have exactly the same problem! I am using stock kernal, was using franco kernal before that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natheist411:
no one here was help but i think i figured it out myself.

try this and see if it works.

when you go to install the rom, before doing so wipe data (factory reset) three times.

i was so frustrated about it i finally said **** it and didnt care if i lost everything, but i didnt loose anything so all is well.

let me know if that works
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JeyLo:
(status 7) some symlinks failed

I'm fixed this problem, PLEASE ADD THIS POST TO FAQ . Just install Android Commander and copy ROM to phone via it, now i'm on JellyBam android 4.1.2.

1.Install root+busybox.

2.Install via stock recovery siyah 5.0b2

3.In siyah recovery do factory reset

4.Flash any custom ROM

5.Do factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache.

6.Be happy, enjoy.

I'm tryied many recoveryes and kernels, but the problem is in copying process(now all zip's have good CRC, and MD5). . Give me a beer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber:
Huh? What is siyah 5.0b2??? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisjenx2001:
I did a manual "format /system" from Clock Work Recovery, fixed it for me, Seems the Wipe/Factory reset does not reset the system partition correctly for some strange reason.

This was an issue after a custom kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Wipe/Factory reset does not touch the system partition at all. This is normal. It only wipes the userdata partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_freak:
Had a bad download and on initial install I formatted system however it failed. Went back and formatted system and cache manually and worked for me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesta192:
I'm not sure if this is related, but I read in the MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.2.1 thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762846, first post specifically) that unmounting /system fixes this problem, and sure enough it solved the problem for me when I tried to flash that ROM.

hi Guys,

Currently having this issue at the moment and can't seem to resolve it.

My Phone is the HTC Explorer (Pico) which currently has CWM Recovery v6.0.2.8

trying to install Pac-Man KK ROM from MicroSD Card

http://xdaforums.com/htc-explorer/development/rom-pac-rom-kk-rc-3-t3190572

I've loaded up CWM..

Wiped Cache Partition

Wiped data/factory reset,

but no go, getting some "symlinks failed status 7" error, installation aborted...

Tried Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache... still didn't work..

I can't seem to find the option to manually format /system, as mentioned in a previous post...

Any suggestions ?

[EDIT] After haveing the phone loop on the HTC screen, I downloaded and installed TeamWIN Recovery v2.6.3.0 .. still having the same issue...

UPDATE Decided to try Cyanogenmod 9 and it worked ok... but having issue installing gapps.. it installs through TWRP, but nothing installed in OS...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valiante:
Fixed the error over here as well in TWRP (going from AOSP back to a Touchwiz ROM).

1. Wipe everything except Internal Storage and SD Card.

2. Flash a custom kernel.

3. Flash Custom ROM.

That's it, the ROM takes a bit longer to start installing, almost as if your phone has frozen, but it worked for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexnewaro:
Just go to Mount section of TWRP and unselect all lines which are there.

After that go to Install section and install your ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hussein 1:
I know how I use to have the same problem but i fixed it first go to your phone's settings

1. Enable Usb debugging

2. Enable Install unknown sources

Finally install the rom manually then this should work i used to have the same problem

hope this work with you :fingers-crossed:

I'm currently tethering to my router using Foxfi. From my router I have several wired connections. I'm going from 30mbs download to just 4-5mbs over Foxfi wifi.

[Galaxy Note II General] lbarb2133:
no att lte band , damn im disappointed.
[Galaxy Note II General] fogducker:
The SGH-i317 is the correct one, no?

I'm trying to avoid the same disappointment up here in Canada on Fido/Rogers. From what I've read, the SGH-i317 supports both AT&T and Fido/Rogers.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
Official release for the USA LTE Note2 is 24th October i read earlier today.
[Galaxy Note II General] exparanoia:
Just need to know where we can get an unlocked LTE phone compatible with our LTE bands in Canada.. =(
[Galaxy Note II General] fogducker:
I'm hoping that I can pick one up at the Samsung store in Vancouver when they're available.

exparanoia: do you agree that the sgh-i317 is the correct model?
[Galaxy Note II General] exparanoia:
According to this, apparently.
[Galaxy Note II General] fogducker:
What is the difference between the first two if all the bands are identical?
[Galaxy Note II General] elite-fusion:
So am I correct when I assume that there will pretty much be two versions of the phone with LTE compatibility, one on GSM and one on CDMA, because the list of the ones above, all of them have the same basebands for GSM, but there are 4 different models.

So which one would I need to get for it to work with ATT, TMOBILE, and any other GSM carrier? besides having it unlocked?

Do you recommend I get a european version which already comes unlocked, or just get a branded one to a carrier and get it unlocked? Please advise.
[Galaxy Note II General] fogducker:
You need to first decide whether LTE is important to you or not. If it is, you need to wait for the SGH-i317 which supports "North American LTE". If LTE is not important to you, the 7100 will do the trick.

I live in a LTE zone in Canada but opted for the 7100 (no LTE) after reading some battery & performance reports. HSPA+ speeds are just fine for my needs and I spend 90% of my time in WiFi zones anyways. Battery life is on the top of my list.

YMMV
[Galaxy Note II General] -BoneZ-:
Um, using WiFi drains the battery

more

than using 3G/4G LTE. WiFi will obviously save you in terms of data usage if you don't have an unlimited plan, but won't save your battery.

I did some tests on my Razr Maxx and WiFi used almost twice the amount of battery by itself than only using 4G.

Save your batteries. Turn WiFi off if you're not using it, and use it as little as possible.
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Why not wait til next week (24th) to see if T-Mobile will release their own version?
[Galaxy Note II General] fogducker:
I agree that WiFI isn't free, but I wouldn't have guessed that it was that much less efficient than LTE.

I'd be curious to know how different signal strengths affect both WiFi and LTE. For example: would people on the fringe realize 25% more drain than those in 'hot' zones? I'm also curious if 5GHz performs any better than 2.4GHz w.r.t. power consumption.

My 7100 was shipped today - can't wait to get my hands on it!
[Galaxy Note II General] stjs:
I did the same. Loving my new toy right now.:D
[Galaxy Note II General] elite-fusion:
Yep. That is what I am doing, but I want to have the ability to switch between T-Mobile and ATT if I do decide to do so. I know if I get the NON LTE, it will be HSPA+ but will not work on ATT 4G or any other GSM carriers 4G, but if I do get the LTE version, will it work with both HSPA+ and 4G LTE?

I am going to be waiting until the 24th, afterall just two more days left. But either way, if I buy the phone flat out so I can get the monthly $50 for everything unlimited, I would want to get the phone unlocked, to have the ability to switch carriers at any time, so question being...as stated above, so that I know which carrier to get from so that it is the LTE version so I can unlock it and use it accordingly.
[Galaxy Note II General] mletto157:
Not true for me...

I don't know what the difference would be... but my Nexus One uses a lot less battery on WiFi than on my normal 3G network at my house. Maybe signal strength is the issue? I don't know... but I always have WiFi on when I'm home to save on battery life and it works amazing.

1- /System/app/SuperSU.apk

2- /System/xbin/busybox

3-/System/xbin/su

are there any other files that need to be removed?

thank you very much for the help.

[Nook Touch General] Salar.m:
Hey Guys...

I'm about to buy a Nook. Cause I'm really in need to have a good ebook reader...

And I want to know if hacking and Android Developement for Nook simple Touch with Glow-edge (NTG) is progressed as much as Nook Simple Touch (NST)'s...

Are there any advantages for NST comparing with NTG in hacking?

For example is there any custom roms available for NST which is not available for NTG?

or, Is usb-host method working for NTG too?

I'll be Thankful if some one guides me...
[Nook Touch General] finitary:
I bought the NST a few days ago. From what I can tell, pretty much the same hacking options are available for NST and NTG. For example, the custom kernel that I installed, which enables multitouch and fastmode, (see the thread by guevor) is available for both NST and NTG.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
Both devices are pretty hackable.

Be very, very careful that

1) you make a full (~2 gig) backup of your device before you start;

2) you are completely comfortable with restoring that backup - test on an SD card to be sure that you can restore and wind up with 8 partitions on that card -- I've seen folks retore from a viable backup, and accidentally restore only 1 partition, and that's a problem

3) any hacks you try are for the correct device.

Most tools are device specific. The two I threw together, tinynoot and fat glowworm, actually do work on both devices (and tinynoot, with a trivial mod, works on the Nook Color as well, it's what I used to re-root after the last OTA that I was too slow to block.)

If you use an NST tool on an NSTG you will very likely need to restore to stock and start over. 8 failed boots will get you out of most jams, but when it won't, you need to be sure you can restore your disk image.
[Nook Touch General] Salar.m:
Tnx Guys...

but, would you plz link me to a step-by-step guide page...? (for backup)

,

So as you said, there will be no problems in hacking and custom mods for me if I buy a NTG... huh?

,

if I'm not wrong, NTG's NAND is partitioned to 8 different disk partitions by default... and they keep all of (roms, etc.) data which I have to make an image of it to have them all saved and backuped... Right?

,

And for the last Q.

Is a microSDHC 16GB class 2 compatible with NTG...?

,

Tnx,

Peace,...
[Nook Touch General] Sun_Cat:
Yes, eight partitions. Complete backup and restore instructions are in this thread. Not sure about class 2 mSD, but I expect it would be fine. The device will handle up to 32GB.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
Actually, I think it's a poor idea for us to link to a specific post or posts on this topic.

Enough people have mucked up their devices by not doing their research that I would strongly recommend that you read through the threads yourself before you put your device at risk.

The device does have 8 partitions; the simplest way to get a full backup is to use linux, either as a physical machine or in vmware player (which has excellent USB support)

Terms you should be hip to before you start:

- partition

- noogie

- clockwork

- framework.jar

and of course, OS versioning, so if someone's referring to a 1.2 release you're already aware of which device that was intended for.

I apologize if I sound unhelpful, but I think what you find out on your own will always be more valuable so that when something works strangely, you know where you first read about it and can drill in for more.

the development area is definitely worth reading even if you're not developing.
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
the links you asked for

for NSTGL

http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...-and-restore-nook-glow-and-nook-simple-touch/

http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...using-glownooter-includes-googles-app-market/

The main difference, is that Nook Touch Tools is working on NST but not NSTGL

so on the NST you can map your QuickNav buttons to the app of your choice, but not in NSTGL
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
LK, please don't take this the wrong way, but this is why I wouldn't want to point to only a few sources:

Your post refers to the Glow.

The first link refers to both the Glow and the Touch

The second link refers only to the Glow

It's that device confusion that makes me want folks to really understand the landscape before they start into it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
That means you've likely got damaged emmc chip. Did you perform any wipes under ics? Freezing os is a symptom of emmc damage as part of the system resides on the damaged partitions and can't be read. Cm based roms often work best under these situations.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
yes this has been repartioned using custom pit file or manually. that's y usb is showing less value. usually it's 11.07 GB.

This has left a 2 to 3 GB bad block in the memory due to which huge roms like stock ones will not work properly. Go for small roms. shud work without any issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
You've got a re-partitioned internal sd card, it should read 11.9gb not 8 something. With a reconfigured internal storage its often the case that you can only use cm based roms like cm9/10,paranoid android etc as they are about 150mb versus 800mb of stock ROM. Sorry dude. If you've got warranty, I'd claim it after recreating brick.
