Yes . i pressed the on/off and the one on the zoom. it gave two options to restart or to add a new os . For the restart: it would again blink samsung and for the next option it says not power off the device and downloading something . but nothing really happens

You need to get, into the recovery mode of the camera and perform a reset, any data on the internal storage will get wiped but providing nothing catastrophic has happened, you should get your camera working again.

I installed androids adt bundle in order to do run
"adt reboot recovery" command (i googled how to do recovery for samsung galaxy camera)
But
On Unbutu it couldnt detect external device.
On windows it couldnt install the mtp device driver. that that too prompted no external devices detected after running the command
how should i do the recovery ?

Yeah, it will. The only reason it wouldn't is if you've screwed something really bad. But we'll cross that bridge if it comes to it.

Wugfresh Rooting Toolkit

Ok, so figured i need a quick reply
I used this toolkit, unlocked bootloader fine, but when i go to root, it gets stuck on 'Waiting for your device to finish booting back up...' on the PC and 'Booting Downloaded image' on my nexus
Do i have to manually reboot?
Is it safe to stop the process now?
Thanks
:crying:
EDIT: Pressing the POWER button does not reboot the device
Don't use toolkits and you won't have this problem.

Almost all computers (including the n7) will turn off if you hold the power button long enough. With the n7 it will immediately reboot.

I'm rather aware what these forums are for. I was helping by telling them not to use a toolkit.

Wugfresh's toolkit works fine, and is a perfectly good choice for those new to Android who don't want to take the chance they'll mistype something in the command line.
This happened to me using the toolkit as well, I think the problem lies with the USB drivers, which can get confused or lose sync. Just power off your Nexus and try the procedure again from the start. Make sure you plug it into one of the USB ports on the back of your motherboard rather than going through a hub.

Mine hung at the reboot, i just rebooted while holding the volume down button.
The tool kit it's great and even had an advanced for manual commands. Which was nice since i just reinstalled windows to a ssd, which was nice instead of setting up and downloading the sdk

Now that Asus has posted official USB drivers you may want to uninstall the ones provided by the toolkit and use those instead.
I found this toolkit great, try using a manual root. Theres a guide in dev section

Try this first
Try downloading supersu or superuser from the market, along with an app whih requires root permissions, such as titanium backup. After installing supersu, try running titanium backup, hopefully it will give you the prompt to grant permissions, and then you wont have to reroot.

Install OTA 4.2.1 update on stock N4 - The Easy Way!

First connect to WiFi and make sure you can access the web.
Next put the N4 into airplane mode.
Then go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework > Clear data
Take the N4 out of airplane mode and let it connect to WiFi.
After a few minutes, you will be prompted to install the OTA update.
If you are not prompted within 10 minutes, open the dialer and force a "checkin" by typing: *#*#2432546#*#*
After "checkin succeded" message, you should be prompted to install the update.
Enjoy!
Doesn't work for me.

You have to be standing in the bathroom for it to work.
No. But for real. Updates are pushed out in waves. If your device is not on the current wave you will not get the update. That's it.
Don't want to wait. Do it manually.

"Easy" is a relative term. Not everyone here, especially in the "General" forum is comfortable yet with flashing alternative recoveries or using abd, etc. This is meant for the novice and/or purist who does not want to alter the phone in order to receive and apply the update. This method does in fact work. Quite often the device is ready to receive the update, but the built in automatic & manual checkin fails to trigger the process. Clearing the GSF data forces the device to initiate it almost immediately, as opposed to waiting an undetermined amount of time for the device to resolve the issue on its own.
My advice to the audience who this is intended for: If this did not work for you now, try it again in a few hours or tomorrow, I assure you it will be much faster than waiting for it to happen naturally. In fact, to prove my point further, go ahead and try the manual checkin (under settings > about phone > system updates) first, each time, before you try this. You'll eventually see what I mean. FYI - Every Nexus device has behaved this way.
How come I can't get the update to install either in CWM or from OTA?? If I do OTA the phone reboots into CWM and I get an "assert failed" and installation aborted.... And if I manually go into CWM and "update from SD card" option I get the same issue!

That means you removed genie widget.odex . put the file back or any other that you deleted and it will go through. I deleted currents, books, earth, genie, videos and a few more and it failed on the update and its because you have to have the same build prop or same apps back

You only need to clear data of google services framework, then check for updates. Rinse and repeat until it works - usually 1-5 times.
All those other steps aren't necessary.

For those who have altered build.prop, any way to fix beside completely going back to the original Google ROM img?
Worked for me thanks.
As I have CWM, CWM asked if I want to flash untrusted update - I said yes. After isntall, I rebooted back to Recovery (as it said something about restoring stock recovery while installing update). CWM was still there. I told CWM to reboot and it said 'you may have lost root'. I selected yes to fix root and it rebooted. all seems fine now.
Worked nicely!! Thanks

Yesterday i did same thing, only i found some different thread. It must be somewhere on nexus 4 forum. I was on PA 3+ and it worked very well. Only remember what you need to go to recovery and clear catch before booting, because in my case i couldn't boot until i wiped catch. And to enter recovery mode. You need to go enter fastboot, when choose recovery, and when you will see "dead android" you need to hold power button and then press (only one time, not hold) volume up and then you will see menu you can release power button. No need to press vol up and vol down. Just vol up, and press it only one time. Yesterday my mistake was then i always was holding power+vol up and phone was always turning off. Maybe this info will help for someone.

It is under step 4.
Is there also a way to just unroot without deleting all data?
All I did was replace the customrecovery.img and installing supersu. Cant I just delete that?
I have a battery problem and I need to send the phone back, but Im afraid they will drop warranty because of me rooting it (only to try to calibrate battery -,- )
And what about 4.3 ?
If you reflash your android device to 4.2.2, will it ask to install the update (4.3?)
So, did anyone tried it? does it works? my friend asks me to unroot his nexus, and i want to be sure, that i'll not kill his device

Tried, and so far it seems like I've bricked mine. When I'm supposed to see a dead Android, I have an exclamation mark instead of the "open stomach Android".
Does this work for returning to stock 4.3?
I created this account just to thank you!
It works wonders! save my life cause my nexus 4 was doomed when I installed Cynogenmod with the Cynogenmod Installer.
My wifi not working. Phone not responding when I receive a call and many more problems! Thanks to your guide I'm able to restore it perfectly.
One small problem when I using this guide is one of the steps require us to type in "4.2UnrootNexus4.zip" (actually just type "4.2UnrootNexus4)

[Q] Exhibit stuck in loop! Looking for someone to fix it for me

Hi Guys,
I'm a noob so please send me in the right direction if I seem out of place. I have an Exhibit 4G that I managed to root. It was 2.3.6 I believe. All was great until I decided I wanted to change the operating system to a Peach Sunrise (I think) then it became stuck in a boot screen loop. I have tried resetting to factory but that doesn't help. I'm not too savvy with these phones so I'm stuck at a dead end. I'm looking for someone in the Atlanta area to fix it for me. I'm willing to pay. It was a brand new phone bought from an individual. It was only used about two week by me. Please let me know if you can help or have a relatively easy solution. Thanks in advance, Les
Is it the galaxy exhibit 4G T679? It the original exhibit? There are multiple phones with the same name. Also wiping cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions will usually fix a problem like this.

Hi Dvarl,
I'm extremely sorry but I forgot to bookmark the sight and finally decided to search my laptop history to find the thread. The phone is the newer model SGH-T679 galaxy exhibit, not the exhibit II. I have tried wiping the cache but i'm not sure exactly how to proceed to do all the procedures that you are talking about. It does not have cwm installed. I did manage to root it before I got myself in this mess.
I can assure you I will be checking the replies frequently and any help is appreciated.

The t679 IS the exhibit 2 (although it was renamed the galaxy exhibit). The original exhibit aka just plain exhibit 4g t759 is the older model. It sounds like you have the t679 if that is correct, follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G
Do not follow those instructions if you do not have that phone. Google if you are unsure about the phone you have because if done right for the right phone these steps are perfectly safe. If however you have the wrong phone you will ruin it pretty badly. On that cheerful note, good luck!

Wow that was a fast response! I have saved your link so I can try it. You are right, it is the renamed exhibit II. The startup screen used to say exhibit NOT exhibit II. I just wished I had backed it up before I made the big mistake. I have learned my lesson. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and let you know the results. Thanks again for your help, Les
I'm having the same problem. I tried odin but it's not working.. what am I missing?
What I do because it is much much faster IMHO, I would use Odin to put cwm back on the phone then download any ROM I want or the flash to stock, or even better if you followed the rules restore a nandroid

I do have the renamed t679. I must be doing something wrong. First I put it into restore mode and clear the cache then restart in download mode. Then I start the Odin Multi Downloader (Ancora) and insert into the OPS field the Ancora.ops then insert into the One Package field the T679LG3.tar file then hit start until all automatically finishes.
I am still left with a phone in the boot logo loop. I noticed when I wiped the cache and restarted the phone script said something about " unable to mount \system .... I didn't take a snapshot so I'm not exactly sure of what it was but I know the phone will not start up if it can't mount the system partition, at least I think I saw that somewhere in a thread.
Any suggestions? I wish I knew someone around Atlanta that I could join up with and get this thing working. I loved this phone and only used it for about a week. I'm thinking before all this is over I will be a phone geek instead of a newbie. All the information that I have gotten here is super helpful, I just don't know enough to effectively utilize it.

OK well if it boots to the android icon with green fire or whatever then you have an os. My only advice is to make sure you check the right things when using Odin.

How far do you boot to? How long does it take for Odin to finish?

When I run the Odin Multi Downloader program it takes 5 mins and 38 secs to finish. The phone restore Odin is fairly fast when I reset to factory settings but I've never timed it. The phone boots to the t-mobile exhibit screen just beyond the plain white Samsung start up screen.

Hmm when I've done it it took about 10min, so perhaps the 300 sec reset option is not set. Try what tazmanion said by using Odin to flash cwm and then you can Mount system in revovery
If it doesn't get to boot animation then yea you have no os

I'm also still having bootloop issues, I wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, wiped battery stats, etc. but best it did was sit on the SAMSUNG for like 2 minutes then go back into a bootloop.
I'd like to keep the original rom/system in tact to not loose any data (didn't backup beforehand, I know...) anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
(yes this is crossposted, need answer asap, sorry)
You do not have a ROM if it sits in Samsung

there is a thread there that is stickied that lists stock roms. XAR is for the USA. And no your Gear will be just fine after a reflash.

Unplug your gear, reboot your computer, plug in the usb into a different usb if possible, (Dont use a usb hub) open odin, then plugin your gear
