The drivers for the US Galaxy Nexus (SCH-I515) do work with the European version (GT-I9250M), but you must use a USB 2.0 port.

Answer 3

I just wasted a couple of hours reanimating my Galaxy Nexus.

I was able to access its data. Though, it did not show up as a correctly working adb device. Furthermore, in the device manager, the "Galaxy Nexus" was listet under "Other devices" and no valid driver was found.

I am not really sure what helped in the end BUT: Try wipe the authorized computers on the phone: Developer Options > Authorizations for USB-Debugging.

Go to android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver & replace android_winusb.inf with the one downloaded from https://github.com/gu1dry/android_winusb. This will add a bunch of devices, Galaxy Nexus included. Then point to that dir when installing a driver.
