First off, if you see a padlock on the google splash screen, the bootloader is unlocked. Did you buy this phone used? Has it always been there? Is it possible he was playing for hours and the phone overheated? No fastboot mode is not good. You'll need to use odin to at least repair the bootloader, if not also to flash an odin flashable factory image. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 may help to teach you some of the basics, as you'll want to adb pull your data if you need it. Otherwise, warranty claim?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
i didnt see the lock until i tried loading a stock through odin. bought the phone off ebay about 4 months ago. new . he doesnt play long so overheat is out of the question. will try to fix bootloader and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Who's your cell provider?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Oh wait, i forgot that odin unlocks the bootloader... nvm my mistake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
I actually dont use a cell provider. i use like an ipod only i hate apple and prefer android. i have tablets and other androids that i have rooted and flashed and such but im stuck right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
This is a verizon or sprint gnex, right? CDMA radios...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
yes 32gb sprint CDMA SPH-L700

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nex Unit:
YES! this is your best choice, I do this ALL the time when I screw something up! Flash FH05 here are my instructions:

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Return To Stock Via ODIN:

1. Put "TAR" on the "PDA" Odin Section.

2. Make Sure To uncheck "F. Reset"... only have "Auto Reboot" and "PDA" checked.

3. Power Of the Galaxy Nexus.

4. Go into "Download Mode" press and hold the "Volume Down" and "Power" button at the same time for a couple of seconds.

5. START Android (Odin Mode) Appears...plug in the micro USB and let drivers install if necessary

6. Yellow CoM should appear if ready... Press start, it should take a while but the phone will go back to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

Bootloop Stuck (skip if it dosen't happens after Odin):

7. Pull The Battery and re insert it, press and hold all three buttons at the same time, Volume up, down and Power.

8. Then press volume down twice untill it says "Recovery Mode" then press The Power button to select it.

9. Phone will restart and "!" Android will appear... press and hold power and volume up then let go of volume up

10. Then "Wipe Data Factory Reset" and then "reboot system"

If you can reach Odin and your PC recognices the phone in it YOU ARE SAFE, not everything is lost!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
my com is kinda teal. or ocean blue using odin3 v3.07 i was using the 1.? ver of odin earlier it was yellow. should it still be with the v3.07.?

Use the 1.87 version... do u have the drivers installed as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
well when i plugged it in my pc in the past it came up as a nexus. it is now a modem and a CDC ??? have they ben lost or changed somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nex Unit:
I dont think so, it is just due to the fact that the phone is not physically "on" so it wont detect it as a Nexus, if odin pops up yellow then it should be fine... If the image is not flashing through under Odin it could be due to the locked bootloader. If u didint have any MODs on it, unlocking the bootloader is a process of runing a program to unlock it i dont think it was properly done after the image ftlash... U are always safer rooting and unlocking the bootloader so at least u can make backups but anyways... Try Power and Vol. Up again... is it still a blank screen or what do u see?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
i stick at the black google screen with the UNlocked lock at bottom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
also i can flash the LTe.tar on phone by itself its says successful the sends me to the same black unlock google screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nex Unit:
Ok, srry I was trying to load u into fastboot mode... had 2 bring my Gnex its is all three buttons.... this is really weird Odin always goes througn for me unless I dont have a correct driver installed... please tell me ur pc dosent have "Kies"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tatuuud:
Did you get this resolved?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
dont know what kies is

no
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nex Unit:
Ok, its a program from Samsung, I have had alot of problems with it in the past, dont install it..... have u tried flashing the CDMA (Not LTE) radio as well from the thread? Fastboot mode still no luck???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
after looking it up I do not have kies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
fast boot is just a blank black screen

i cannot use the fastboot images in odin mode can i? or am I missing the link? i see the stock .tar and the lte
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nex Unit:
No u are right, CDMA is fastboot only wont work on odin... well as far as I can see and have researched Odin is the only option, its weird how u lost fastboot mode as well... an alternative step is to try and flash is Odin on another PC that doesn't have the drivers installed so it can load them from the preconfigured folders inside the phone. I remember a while back on my other phone the progress bar would get stuck too until I tried on another PC and everything went through. The drivers here for Odin would be my next step... Different PC is the best way to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok will try in morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Again http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895, part A will help you with drivers if that is the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Are u sure you downloaded the right Odin file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
One more idea for the night: If one could make an odin .tar without the radio, then he'd have fastboot working and flash the radio, and it'd be done, correct? Or, i'm also thinking that if the op cannot get odin to work for him, perhaps omap flash would: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1760787. It would restore fastboot, correct? And then he could just normally flash the images through fastboot..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
CODE_I9250XXSPH-L700FH05.tar

also tried

CODE_I9250XXSPH-L700GA02.tar

same outcome. except with the 05 it tries to load the CDMA-Radio last and gets hung up with the ga02 its first
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
I cannot access fastboot on this phone and Im not sure if debugging is turned on. Doesnt fastboot have to work in able to follow his instructions correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
question: is there a difference between .tar and .md5. i understand technically there is a difference because of diff. extensions but as far as odin and loading stock is there a difference? my FC12 image is .tar however the FC05 and GA02 are .md5 none of the three work for me just curious if I should look for a FC05 that is a .tar and not a .md5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
USB Debugging being turned on is 100% irrelevant unless you're running Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
the link he sent me said it should be on for the pc to properly recognize my phone as a nexus. right now it is a CDC device and modem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
That is with regards to fastboot. ADB only runs when Android is live
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
i cannot boot into fastboot its just a black screen after vibrate. ADB not working either. only thing i can get a response on is odin mode download screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
ADB will only EVER work when Android is running. If you can't get into fastboot then the phone is goosed and you should seek your money back (or get it repaired). I've never used Odin so can't comment on that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
i see i kinda figured that but when he told me that if i can get to odin then im in ok shape
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Or, when you booted a custom recovery which offers the ADB interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
is there a way to load another recovery CMW through ODIN??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
True, but this isn't covering recovery as the phone doesn't even boot to it! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
i have not modified this phone one bit. I never got a custom recovery because I didnt plan on rooting this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
I refuse to give up. I know there is a fix
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I sent you that link bc of the drivers issue [you odin com port being teal instead of yellow]. I can't believe no one has offered input on if omap flash would repair the bootloader! Or if you could odin an image without the radio in it! As far as I understand, I'd try OMAP to repair the bootloader. Let me see if other help can be provided.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok thanks. Well i went back to the odin v1.87 (<--i think) . the Com is yellow in that version. only teal in the 3.? version is teal the new yellow? or is the v3 finding somerthing the v1.8 is not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I'm not that familiar with odin, but i watched the videos from the shabby penguin's restore your sprint nexus guide, and they both said yellow means its working properly. I was actually lookng for how to make odin flashable.tar files, so i could prepare one without the radio, but i haven't found it yet. I'd try that older version, since yellow seems to indicate it recognizes the device properly, even though i've seen that recommended against [older versions]. Nothing to lose! Also, do you understand why I'm mentioning omap flash? Or even odin without a radio? If you could get back to fastboot for the failing radio, I think you'd be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your only options are 1) Odin and 2) OMAPFlash.

If you follow the instructions in this post with the drivers he mentions and the version of Odin he mentions, it should work. (Note, you should uninstall all previous drivers, including hidden ones before installing new drivers.)

If it doesn't, then you can try using OMAPFlash.

OMAPFlash basically re-flashes the bootloader, so that you should be able to use fastboot after that. See this thread. Instructions are included in the package. If the link in the first post doesn't work, I've posted a mirror in post #58.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
im looking for omapflash but cannot find a link. working link. i have since went back to the v1.87 and yes I feel i can get back to fastboot and be ok just trying to figure out how. the fact that it vibrates when i press the fastboot combo gives me some hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok i have omapflash. so this is for any nexus? i have the SPRINT nexus sph-l700
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It is for tuna, which means for all three versions of the Galaxy Nexus: maguro (GSM), toro (VZW) and toroplus (Sprint).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
after reading the instructions included in the tuna dl i see i am in over my head.

Connect the platform to your PC using a serial cable (UART or USB).

2) Ensure that the CS0 device configured on the plaform is the default configuration on S8 (0000) <----????

3) Ensure that the platform is configured to do peripheral boot using the system boot mode on S9 <----???

4) Create a script file (samples can be found on '.\Sample Scripts') for the memory and file to download

5) Run 'omapflash @<scriptfile>'

6) Reset the platform
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
did you even read the thread about omap flash?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1760787 - read the directions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Not sure where you found those about the scripts. Im looking at the first post on the omap thread.

Edit, I see it now "in the tuna dl".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
yessir I do not see an option to install legacy hardware. he speaks of doing it through the task manager.? dont see options for them in either manager though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
had to d/l from post #58 it says instructions are included with the download. i have looked at the other post as well. im either being extremely dumb about the situation or overlooking something. when i plug the phone in i see the omap some up i right click on it but not sure whats next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
right now my device manager is showing INTF2 with yellow triangle. under other devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
actually using the tuna folder it installed the imap 4440 drivers successfully but still showing INTF2 with yellow triangle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok so being that im running out of options and hair i ran the .bat without the legacy hardware step it want through a process having to press any key once then continuing the process.ending with:

please turn off device

please turn on device

waiting for device.

i assumed it was done but still in same condition
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
can you get to bootloader / fastboot now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
no fastboot still one vibrate and a black screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I still think keep trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
believe me i can. im a bit obsessed at this point. i have been in bricked situations before with other devices only to turn them into butter. i cannot quit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
well this is a first. I tried to use odin now and instead of hanging up on the Radio-CDMA.img it say write failed. First time for this. should i try diff. lte?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
after trying different stock and lte combos for my phone when i try to enter bootloader or any mode for that matter i get the cell screen then yellow triangle and the pc screen. not sure if this is a step closer or further away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wund3rground:
I apologize, I haven't read through this entire thread, can you use fastboot at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
nosir. before my previous post. trying to goto fastboot gave me one vibrate then a black screen. power + volume+ gave me a google screen with unlocked padlock .

i could get into odin download mode but thats it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wund3rground:
So you can't even get into the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
only odin mode Downloading screen or black google screen with unlocked lock. the only two screens I can get to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wund3rground:
Bollocks! I don't know how to help then, sorry dude...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
Thanks anyway..

And thanks too all who tried.,

anyone know of a .pit file i can load using odin? i hear it may help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonezy8873:
This may be silly but Odin would not flash my galaxy s2 until I used a different USB hole on my PC and a different cable when I flashes a galaxy ace. Strange but true. Just a thought.

Have you tried the Samsung tool kit program?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
yes on all three. 3 diff cables and 3 different ports
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I've heard about that cell, yellow triangle, then PC screen. I tend to think that means there's nothing on the phone now as far as firmware, and it needs an odin flash. But I'm not sure if that's closer or farther away, though I want to say closer. I never thought I'd say this, but I saw that mskip's galaxy nexus toolkit (stickied at the top of the general section) has the ability to make Odin flash able images. Perhaps that'd be something different to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok so i managed to find a GA02 that successfully loaded on my phone through odin. even though it was successful i am still stuck at the black google screen with the lock.. any suggestions. still cant get into fastboot either
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
That's very strange. Do you have the fastboot binary and drivers to use? I'm just wondering if you boot to the black screen [vol+vol-power] and try fastboot devices command. Its really sounding like something is wrong with the bootloader. Do you have recovery now, since the image successfully loaded?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
cant get into anything except odin mode downloading screen. i thought maybe the black screen was adb or whatever as well but no luck. thats how it was on my incredible when i used it. no recovery. is there a file i can flash with odin to repair or replace bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Again i'm not all that familiar with odin, but i believe you should be able to make a flashable img of just the bootloader to get it back. That's why i thought omap would be a good method, to repair it if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Just wondering if you've had any luck here. And I've come across something: from the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620036, "4) Load the tars" It looks like with odin, you load two tars at once! I would try FD02 from the first post, since i do not know why the fh05 stock tar is .md5. So you load the FD02 stock tar to the pda button, and the corresponding LTE tar in the phone button, then click start..

Still on this mystery.."after trying different stock and lte combos for my phone when i try to enter bootloader or any mode for that matter i get the cell screen then yellow triangle and the pc screen." Someone mentioned this as needing to update drivers (think of the exclamation point as saying 'no bridge' between these devices).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
WeLL I KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE TRIANGLE ISSUE. i JUST FLAShed THE fh05 LTE BY ITSELF AND UNCLICK REBOOT.

oops sorry for the caps

i can get a success in odin on the ga02.tar and the lte or just the .tar alone. still no change in my bootup though. either black google screen with the lock.(let it sit for close to an hour twice hoping it would recover) Still no fastboot, no recovery, just odin mode download screen. OMAPflash even works i think. It runs through the process..i have to press any key to continue.then it runs another process then tells me to turn device off then back on. No change. I Do definatley appreciate the Time you guys took to help out.Think Im gonna chalk this up to hardware. Going to try a new battery tomorrow though. Seems like a stretch but i HATE giving up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
This may sound weird/crazy,but can you try flashing the files with repartition ticked(if you haven't) or unticked(if you have)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
yeah i will try when I get off work

I have never ticked it to re-part. When I did I got a Fail asking for .pit file

guess in my situation I cant do much more harm, I will try once I wake up a bit more. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
Part of the reason Why I cant give up. He couldnt have fried my phone popping balloons on his game thats all he does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
You'd be looking for toroplus, or mysidspr, which is your device's version, or code name. and it was my bad, I just checked the link and its dead. From here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/, you could try the cfauto root download, under Odin flashable devices, the third file down, which the op in that other thread claimed unbricked his device. Just make sure you unzip it, so when you go to flash via odin, it is in .tar.md5 form. This verifies the download and write are not corrupt(the .md5 at the end).

Also, I forgot to mention that you need to be flashing a version of android that is synonymous with the version the phone was last running, in order for the odin flash to potentially work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
ok so I downloaded the file ran odin. got a success. But STILL no change in my bootup

Still no fastboot ability [vol up+ down+ power]? Its not looking very good. I came across bad pcb comments, and more and more it's looking like you will not have a successful solution. Like you, I also hate giving up.. As of now, I'm pretty much out of ideas. How long of a successful run did the phone have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regal513:
phone is less than 4 months old!! off of ebay. But was unopened when I got the box. No Fastboot. I think my only way out if there is one is a .PIT file. im thinkin somehow my partitions are messed up. O well. thanks for all the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
No luck on the .pit. According to shabby penguin, at least as of last may, "there is no pit file available for this device". Do you have warranty then?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoKoMaster:
Hello everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this situation. The very annoying bug I have is that the browser is often in full screen mode. I am referring to the stock browser. I'm on the latest UBDM3 rom from Samsung. Rooted with custom recovery but it did this before I installed the recovery.

I'm not sure if I remember having this bug before on previous builds. But my suspicion is that I didn't.

I can get the notification bar to show up and stay if I go into the browser settings and toggle full screen on then off in labs. But it will eventually go back to full screen again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Yeah I noticed that buy in chrome.

It used to go into full screen on it's own.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoKoMaster:
I haven't noticed it in Chrome myself but I also haven't used chrome in a while. I prefer the stock browser for those quick controls. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed or care about this. I think it's annoying not being able to access the notification bar unless you swipe and eventually bring it down.
