OP updated with Odin non wipe package :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trinisentra:
Hi, my question is this. I have a Gnexus that says status is locked when I put it in fastboot. Can i flash with Odin with the device locked? I tried the side load method but using Windows 8 I am unable to get the PC to recognize it when in fastboot mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
do you have fastboot files on your pc? i suggest first to try with fastboot commands. see this for solving driver issue on window 8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982718

for odin, no need to unlock bootloader, odin will do it for you, it means that your data will be wiped, even if you choose un-wipe package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trinisentra:
Thanks for that I was able to install adb and drivers for windows 8. However I am able to side load the 4.2.2 update to the phone but when the phone verifies the file it fails every time. I am trying no to use Odin but it looks like i may have no choice. Do you have any idea what the problem is? I was able to unlock the phone btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
good. then use fastboot commands to flash stock images http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

you still have odin as an option. but any mistake with odin will cost

Hello everyone, may anybody help me with an issue.

I'm getting a fail error while trying to flash system.img

<ID:0/011> system.img

<ID:0/011> Complete(Write) operation failed.

Can anybody lend a hand?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Hmm... It flashed the kernel, radio, recovery... And stopped at system... Did it take too much time when flashing the system before failing?

See troubleshooting, reflash again, if not, im afraid that there is something wrong with the emmc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhonnyx:
Flashing with heimdall went with some errors but finished flashing; yet it's all the same. Like the emmc does not want things to be written.

Hi man, thanks for the guide.

My gnex is in a bad situation, and I need it to be alive!

Sadly the download of Odin+rom is going so slow... 7KB/s (8h left...)

There is no any mirror to download a bit faster from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
there is more than one mirror in androidfilehost server :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgug:
phone won't boot at all

Hi,

The other day I was driving with Google Maps Navigation on, and when I looked at the phone half an hour later, the screen was blank and it wouldn't respond to pushing the power button. It did this several times a few weeks ago out of the blue, but had been fine since I got back from traveling. I thought it had happened then from getting some sand in it from the beach since it finally cleared up when I ran a pin around the screen to get some built up gunk out, and the screen magically started to work again. Battery pulls never did anything.

I looked online, and found info about resetting it, but since I can't see what is on screen, I don't think it worked, and may have made it worse. Now I can't get the phone to vibrate at all when I push power buttons. I'm not a techie person, it was stock, but I had the extended battery in it. I've tried the original battery and same thing. If I plug it into my computer, it still pops up OMAP4440 but can't find the driver, so it just pops in and out constantly. When I tried to install a replacement driver, it turned out to be OMAO4460, and still didn't work.

I'm downloading Kies right now, so hopefully that helps, but will doing any of this help my phone, or is the screen thing something else? I bought the phone off ebay in February, so no warranty support or anything. Should I give up and get a new phone? Should I get a new Gnex or go to Nexus 4 if I do? I travel 10+ months a year, and I can't have my phone just randomly dying on me!

Thanks!

Rachel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omricn:
Oh my god brother, thank you... I'm selling my gnex today and for some reason it totaly went google animation stuck on me.. you saved my ass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Do not use KIES. Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28486488
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgug:
I tried that, but it installs OMAP4460, and my phone flashes up with OMAP4440. I can't seem to find that specific driver ANYWHERE! It always turns out to be OMAP4460.

Rachel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The SoC in a GNex is an OMAP 4460 not a 4440, despite what pops up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgug:
I followed the instructions again, and it vibrates when I push the power button, but it still won't turn on, no indicator lights, etc. Do you think maybe this is caused by a hardware problem too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greedybro:
First, thanks for your job !

Then -> So far i didn't manage to pass the nexus bootanimation, even after reinstalling 4.2.2 stock as you explain in post 1. Everything went fine though.... :(

I did it with non wipe version, I'll try again with the wipe version, maybe I did somthing wrong.

EDIT : I did it with wipe version and it worked, my gnex is saved. Thanks to you, far behind your computer ! I <3 you man !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrkijo:
I was for a while on MINCO rom than, my phone at some point started with random freezes, i freshly moved to CM 10.1.2 but phone continued with random freeze. I used gnex tools and installed fresh stock google rom 4.2.2 but the same story continued. After that i downgraded to stock 4.1.1 and phone started functioning normally. After while i decided to install new stock 4.2.3 and the same freezes happens again.

Will this method help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
it will flash stock images but with odin...

you can give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrkijo:
I will certainly try, and report. By the way is there a way to determine if any of the phone partitions have bad sector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mrkijo:
I finished the process successfully, unfortunately my phone keeps freezing and rebooting, any further suggestions?

What would you do in this case?

Although I just received by Nexus 4, this post and the mini-usb jig literally saved my life today and I was able to successfully unbrick my nexus. Thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theory:
Thanks for this. Two questions:

1. Does anyone know of any place where I can read up on how to repack a google nexus factory image as an Odin file?

2. Is the partition table generic across different versions of the GNex and ROM? Or does each variant hardware, or ROM, come with its own partition table.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Someone pointed me to this, which answers question 1. Now it's just down to question 2. Basically, what I'm trying to learn is how to create a complete Odin file, pit + tz, from a google factory image. Any pointers would be most appreciated.

UPDATE 2: After some trial and error, and comparison of the pit files of various ROMs, I inferred that the pit file provided in samersh72's .tz works across all Galaxy Nexus i9250s. Successfully rolled my own md5 and flashed using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysticc:
Just wanted to drop a quick "Thanks".

My Nexus 4 did not get passed the Google with the lock anymore - no recovery - nothing.

Your description worked perfectly and I am up and running (after three hours trying everything else with several toolkits etc.)

Great :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Use odin if your Gnex is bricked and you can not boot into fastboot mode and if you are lazy :p.

but dont be lazy guys... flashing stock images with fastboot commands is always preferable. see efrant sticky thread in general section...

How to Root now ?

I flashed with the latest version now. And now its all good , stock jwr66y 4,3 takju for galaxy nexus maguro.

And the Bootlocker is now UNLOCKED

Now i tried everyway to root it, but not happening. :\

Tried with the cmd way from the folder with the apps and it says "Waiting for Device"

Tried with toolkit and not working as well :\

Need Help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevtrysmoddin:
Which tool kit are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerzcud:
I used the Nexus Root Toolkit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevtrysmoddin:
I had to try it a few times using wugfreshs toolkit Have you installed twrp? If so just try flashing su.zip use too.I'm to install it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerzcud:
Thats the problem , im not able to install Twrp or CWM :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kevtrysmoddin:
Have u tried using goo.im app off play store I used it to install twrp before I rooted 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
Manually boot into fastboot mode, then flash recovery. Adb doesn't work on 4.3 stock, you need to either download the new drivers or a custom kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killerzcud:
hmm...so what am i supposed to do :\ Im pretty noob at this.

I get to the fastboot mode and try to flash the Cwm using cmd , but it just stops at "Waiting for Device" and noting happens, the device is connected as well and usb debugging on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
sounds like a driver issue...or you need to update platform tools through android sdk

if typing the command 'fastboot devices' brings up your serial number then its the latter and your drivers are fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n4src:
Hi all i followed the procedure but as soon as it finnishes i get safe mode and if i restart the phone i stuck on download mode with power button not donig anything same thing on fastboot screen volume buttons do not work any??:confused:

why you flashed with odin and what was the problem before flashing?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panaras21:
mobile odin

Greetings from greece!

I am experiencing an issue with my galaxy nexus and after searching the web, I found this thread and I decided to ask for your help.

Unfortunately, my usb port is not working properly. Actually, it seems to work only when I'm trying to power up the battery when my phone is switched off. It starts charging(I can see the battery with the little thunder) and when seems to start charging, it closes and then I can see the battery with the thunder again and this is repeating again and again. When my phone is on, it is not even a sign that the cable is on, and I've tried with more than 1 cables.

The point is that I have a custom rom and by bootloader is unlocked and I cannot go to the service.

So, I found rootzwiki.com/topic/19864--ultimate-galaxy-nexus-guide-unlockrootflash-romsfaq/page-5#entry759280 this forum post #48, and it seems like on this thread I'm posting right now there are the odin files uploaded. So I was wondering if I can use the files with mobile odin doing the proccedure that it is described in rootzwiki and furthermore if anybody is helpful enough to give me some tips because I have never used mobileodin before and I don't want to throw away any possibilities to fix my phone.

Thanks for your time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
i never use mobile odin on my Gnex, so no idea about it. you can ask in mobile odin thread

i suggest to fix your micro usb port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panaras21:
This is why I need to flash a stock rom and lock the bootloader, to get my USB port fixed. Is there a specific forum for mobile Odin and gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
it seems that nexus is supported by mobile odin, read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you should be able to use the files from this thread, and using Mobile Odin to flash them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 321jurgen:
For the people that have a broken power button

You need to do this little trick here that you probably already know.

1. remove the back cover

2. remove the battery

3. insert the battery

5. connect the usb cable to your computer (charging adapter won't work)

6. you will see a battery with lightning bolt (do nothing)

7. you will see a battery and how full it is

8. now pull out the battery

9. the battery will go and flicker all over the screen

10. now put in the battery again.

11. wait at least 30 seconds it should boot up

So now the part to get your device in recovery download mode.

If your phone boots up after the procedure above it will make a connection via adb but only for very little time.

The trick here is to keep sending the adb commands to your device to get it into download mode.

This literally means trying it a hundred times in a row.

The commands for this are:

adb shell

su

reboot download

(you can type these all in and than use the arrow keys xD)

If you are lucky it should boot into download mode.

I suggest also trying other commands because I got it into recovery.

Maybe the author of this post can add this.

Tried wiping everything on twrp, then when i try to restart system, it says no os but if restart anyway, it boots into the same os with same data and in a few seconds reboot. Can't delete any file from the storage and can't install any app or delete it.
