[Verizon] Kepp getting red exclamation mark.

If you have the drivers set up, it can use fastboot on the command line to flash cwm. Once it does that, you should be able to get into cwm to flash your rom.

Yes... How long are you waiting?.. It can take 10 minutes or more to boot.

I think it's been over 10 mins, I am trying that program u said, nexus root toolkit and selected flash stock +unroot, to try and get it to work but since it will unroot me, how do I root using JB rom?
 
I keep getting this error.

After I installed both zip files I noticed there is another file that says updatezip which I don't remember putting there, well I clicked apply and got the red exclamation point again.
 
Hey all, just a quick heads-up that I've moved this thread to the VZW all-things-root sub-forum for you.

The OP looks like he's in good hands in trying to figure-out what is going on and an eventual resolution.

I would add that it would be helpful if the OP (Codec) could post a little background / details about how the details you encountered on your root journey. I.e., how did you root, unlock your bootloader, which threads / links / references re. this, etc.? (any other relevant information? -- more information is better than too little ;) :)).

The reason I say / ask this is that it will give us an idea about your familiarity with various tools and concepts that will help mold what actions might be suggested for you to try.


Cheers!
 
Ok guys I REALLY need some here, I have been here for hours trying to get past the google logo screen but NOTHING works. Now I am trying the glaxy nexus toolkit and flashed the google JB rom and it just says waiting for device.

All the info you need is here:

First, you need to get the drivers working on your pc, then you can go ahead and install a custom recovery via fastboot, from there you would then proceed to install a working ROM.

How to do all those things is very neatly explained by Scary Alien in the thread linked above. However, Wug's root toolkit does very easily automate those things for you, but you really need the drivers working first. Let us know if you run into any problems getting them installed. I know I originally had a problem with them but a simple reboot of my pc fixed it :D.

Also remember to stay calm and take your time (easier said than done). But your phone is really fine, just need to get things in order to be able to boot up again.
 
Upon further review of the tread, it looks like you you didn't try to install jellybean, only the kernel which is only a part of the whole package. The easiest solution to me is to factory restore you using the jellybean factory image provided by the toolkit. Based on the earlier picture, it appears as though the fastboot drivers are not installed.

1) Use the toolkit to install the samsung usb drivers. Once they are installed, boot the device into fastboot mode by pressing both volume keys and the power key while off and then plug it into the computer. The toolkit should have instructions for installing the fastboot drivers, but to do so, open up the device manager and you should see the nexus listed under unknown devices. You will right click the driver and click update driver software. Choose the option to install from location. it should provide you with a list of drivers, you want something with ADB Android Development Bridge in the name.

2)Once that is set up, on the main menu of the toolkit, check device bootlooped, and click that restore factory/unroot. Select the 4.1.1 verizon(toro) image file and it should proceed. It should work by itself and should take about 15 minutes.

That's why I asked u eairler if I had all the files I needed, and which toolkit are u talking about? We have talked about two different kinds here.
 
I was away and using tapatalk earlier and misread the first file. I'm back on a computer now so much more capable. The toolkit is the wugs toolkit that I gave the link to earlier. That is generally the go to application to get anything done quickly on a nexus device. It also includes all the factory images and drivers available at the time of the download so it can literally take care of everything.

So how do I use this program to install jelly bean and install drivers?

Essentially wugs acts as a helper to run commands through the command prompt so that you don't have to. Once you have the program downloaded and installed, which it seem you do, the top middle option will install the drivers. Since the device is bootlooped, skip over the adb (first set) driver installation and only worry about the fastboot (second set) installation. Before the process, it will give you 3 choices for packages to install. I recommend using the Samsung Usb drivers as they tend to be the most reliable. The toolkit should provide a step by step procedure with pictures on how to set up the drivers. Chances are it will fail the test because the toolkit is programmed to test with a full functional device which yours isn't currently. Once you go through the driver set up, let me know and we'll continue from there. This is usually the hardest part. After this it's all downhill.
 
First it says to 1.) Plug your device in with USB debugging enabled

- Settings > Developer Options > check USB Debugging

I can't do that because the phone won't go past the google logo screen.
 
On step number 3 it says 2.) Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your device:
- Settings > Developer Options > Check "USB debugging"

Which of course I can't do because of the google logo screen hang.
 
Is this is tab 3 or step 3? If it's tab 3 then I believe that is just a test to see if they work. If not, then it is still setting up for the adb drivers and after you install the samsung exe, you want to skip forward to the point rebooting into fastboot.
