I have successfully rooted my Verizon Nexus version 4.04 build IMM76K and tried to flash two different ROM’s one is "Vicious-TORO-JellyBean-V3-signed" and the other is "Team Liquid Vicious-Toro V3-JellyBean Fully 100% Functional Deodex". On both it seemed to install fine, no error messages. Then at reboot it booted past the Google logo to the ROM logo and never passed it. I waited for a minimum of 20 minutes until I pulled the Battery and flashed back to stock. Please help.
Did flashing back to stock solve the problem, is your device ok?
Before you flash a custom ROM, always try wiping the cache and wiping the dalvich cache. You then wipe data and do a factory reset. After that you THEN install the ROM, that might've caused the problem. Maybe, I am not sure.
Which clockworkmod did you use to try flashing the ROMs, please give us more detail!
I actually did exactly as you said. Wiped, factory reset, wipe cache and then dalvich. Pushed the ROM to the phone and then installed it.I have been useing Gnex Toolkit v1.7
And did it work or what?
Wiping user data/Factory reset is important after installing the Custom ROM.
There is a good way to fix all this, make sure you backup EVERYTHING, and when I say EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING (Photos, Videos, EVERYTHING).
USE FASTBOOT, I have mentioned this heaps of times, I have because it just WORKS. I bricked my device before, and I just used fastboot. Understand 2 things if you're going to use it...
1. It DELETES EVERYTHING
2. You need to have your STOCK ROM in fastboot format
If you're willing to use fastboot and have the proper stock files here's how to do it (From Nexus S post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635):
I QUOTE: "Put all six fastboot images in one folder, unlock your bootloader, perform the fastboot flashes, then lock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
"
Cheers
Oh by the way I am not sure if the oem lock and unlock bit applies to you, check a relative guide to Galaxy Nexus please , this was an example
Hi, I have unrooted Nexus somehow its not booting up no just shoing google Logo. I can only enter in dast boot mode and bootloader is locked hence can not load a new rom to it. Tried to unlock the loaded but unable to do so. Used most of the tools in the forumn but sill no success. Its still not boots into android
Any help will be appritiated.
Can you enter recovery? Like stock recovery or clockworkmod. You should be able to.
If you have stock recovery navigate to it using bootloader, then to active the menu press both the power button and the volume keys ( sorry I don't know which one). Wipe data and factory reset. Select it. BUT THIS WILL CLEAR ALL DATA.
If you have clockworkmod again boot into it like above and select wipe data factory reset. This will not delete you data.
If you have TWRP you can for the same as clockworkmod. But go to menu "wipe" and select wipe data factory reset.
Hope this helps,

Have you tried Wug's Nexus Toolkit? There's an option in the program for this type of thing. It'll flash full stock on your phone but at least it'll be working again, and from there you can flash CWM and root the phone as usual.
It's in the Nexus S Android Development forum, sorry I can't post links yet since I don't have the 10 posts needs.

I am 101% sure that you are missing something while unlocking either the drivers or the fastboot files.
Otherwise nothing can stop you from unlocking. Finally when you unlock, flash the factory image via fastboot and then proceed again towards rooting and customs. :good:
can u please tell me what method you are using to unlock boot loader?
follow these steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Hello
I have a Motorola Xoom from Verizon, and this is the issue.
When I turn on, the tablet it's stuck in M logo screen, I already read almost any information about this issue, but still I can't use my xoom.
I already done this: the bootloader is already unlock
a) Files From MZ600 HRI39
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
b) used RSD method
c) used recovery method too
I had used every method on this forum to recover my Xoom, and nothing seems to work, at this time I don't know what else do.
adb commands doesn't work for me, only with fastboot and RSD is visible my device.
At this time I accept any sugestions, Since apply a factory reset, or install a new Android version
I think I bricked my phone but im not sure if its a soft or hard brick. I got the phone and it had Droid 4.2.2 on it and then unlocked the bootloader. I then installed all of the updates to it and then rooted it with TWRP and SU. I got a stock image for my phone for 4.2.2 then I flashed the system image and all was ok when I rebooted the phone It just hung there so I then tried to go into recovery and that worked and I then tried to do a factory reset and it just got stuck in a bootloader loop it would turn on and then the bootloader warning came up and then it would be blank screen and then the bootloader warning would come up again and repeat. I am able to still go into fastboot and TWRP but I did not back up the image. Any ideas...Im a noob and I dont want a 650 dollar paperweight.

Don't worry. There is no such thing as a soft brick. It's either bricked or its not. If a phone is bricked, it does nothing at all. In your case download the factory images to your pc again to make sure you have a clean download and fastboot flash them onto your device. I'd flash the files individually and restart the bootloader between each file. Then clear the cache and reboot.

I then rebooted the phone and went threw the whole set up new phone process. I then unlocked developer mode did the google playstore updates. Meanwhile the phone is downloading OTA update. I did not want to install that update because I am now on 4.2.2 - 12.15.15 because I want to use FoxFi to teather my phone to my laptop using Wifi and KitKat turns off Wifi. I am having some problems with that app because now I have to set a pin password to lock the phone instead of swipe. And the other problem is that when I went back in fastboot and setup TWRP in the recover partition it just keeps rebooting into that partition like a loop not the system partition like it should. So now I dont know how im going to root my phone so I can freeze my OTA update with Titanium Backup. unless there is another way of doing it to get rid of the OTA. But I still want to be rooted im just not sure how to do it now.
Long story short I bricked my phone when trying to flash recovery using toolkit. Now my phone won't turn on and recovery is gone as well. Somehow my PC can recognize the phone in fastboot mode although there's nothing showing on the screen.
So I tried the method in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/wrong-kernel-black-screen-fastboot-adb-t2835696
It shows I flashed everything and it shows green color in the tool but when I checked the partitions, boot.img, recovery.img, userdata.img, system.img, etc are still broken. At that time the bootloader was still unlocked.
Since my computer can still see the phone in fastboot so I tried to flash the original image in fastboot. Again everything went through with no error but the phone still wouldn't turn on and the partitions are still same broken/corrupted. However the bootloader became locked after this. So now I end up with no more solutions. Since bootloader says locked(although boot.img is actually corrupted) I can't flash or do anything in fastboot command.
So I guess I'm really SOL right now... My only hope right now is maybe there will be USB JTAG or Nand flasher but I don't know if anyone can repair that right now.
Any suggestions?
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
Now use twrp or cwm or whatever
fastboot boot recovery nameofrecovery.img
If your phone boots to recovery you may consider running e2fsck against data and cache partitions through adb shell
Best of luck
