I tried unlocking bootloader and root using Superboot. I got into Google boot loop then went to download mode and tried to restore to factory using odin. Phone connected went all the way to end and failed. Now I can not get into recovery or download mode. I just have yellow triangle screen. I cant use adb because laptop does not recognize device. what am I missing. Is there another file to download and use with odin?

So can you not get into the factory bootloader?

mickrg123 · Dec 27, 2011

No I can not. All I get is yellow triangle between a phone icon and computer icon. When this happened on droid I could always odin a recovery folder. But I when I try that method I keep getting a failed error message

When I first rooted my PC was having trouble recognizing the phone as well. Make sure you have ALL of the drivers installed. The drivers for adb in recovery/boot are different that the drivers the GNex uses once boot into the OS.

Once it's plugged in, you have to actually go into Device Manager and find the "unrecognized device", then you select from a list of drivers. it will be called Android ADB or something along those lines.

you should be using fastboot not adb

If you get a Yellow Triangle you are not bricked. Plugin phone and reload fastboot drivers. Try ODIN again or try to flash a custom recovery via fastboot.

I say "bricked" when I can't do anything with phone. I can not get into fastboot from yellow triangle screen.

Fastboot IS the yellow triangle screen. If fastboot doesn't see any devices, you have a driver issue. Go into device manager and look for devices without proper drivers loaded (usually a yellow exclamation mark on the device)

Ok thx, Fastboot does not see any devices in device manager. I do have a second GNex when I connect it to computer it is recognized. How do I get drivers from fastboot?

I hope all goes well for you. Try installed PDANET on the working Nexus, and get the drivers from their PC software.

+1 THIS ^^^^^

I do have drivers from pdanet installed. But this phone will not connect to laptop. I thought Fastboot screen was when you hold down vol up and down and power at same time.

I haven't encountered a yellow triangle screen you spoke of. Neither the fasboot or download mode should have that. Can you take a pic and post it?

I can't get past first adb command, says device not found

mickrg123 · Dec 27, 2011

Here is screen I cant get past. (I don't think this is fastboot is it) And the odin error screen. Fyi nexus is just a sticker not on phone.

silow · Dec 27, 2011

No that is not fast boot. Can you get into fast boot with Power, Vol +, Vol- ?

That's what I thought, someone had told me yellow triangle IS fastboot. I cannot get to any other screen!
I have had this screen on my Samsung Charge all I had to do was load stock .tar through odin, but I keep getting error message with this phone.

silow · Dec 27, 2011

Are you able to get into Fastboot ( Power, Vol+, Vol-) or download mode (Power, Vol-) at all?

mickrg123 · Dec 27, 2011

No I can not get to any other screen. Holding vol up, down and power, or holding vol down and power, all take me to same screen.
