is my nexus S bricked? please help. :(

Hi guys,
I was trying to unroot my nexus S using the guide found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088494&highlight=unroot)
After clicking start on odin, it started to do its thing and then it failed all of a sudden. and now im stuck on the yellow triangle Downloading screen. I press and hold power nothing happens. i dunoo what to do. I am a complete noob. someone please help. I am attaching the image of the what the screen looks like (http://postimage.org/image/3dhtlidg/)
and here what odin looks like now (http://postimage.org/image/3eqh3vpg/)

ok guys, i took out the battery and put it back on and turned it on again and it powered on but now i have no signal or empty bars. it shows aeroplane now.. i tried different sims no difference.. i get no service.. i think this odin fail at radio damaged my radio somehow..someone please advise me.. please .. i did volume up button + power and tried to go to recovery but i get triangle with exclamation mark. so i took out the battery and reboot it to normal. no signal. just the aeroplane icon. Also when i put the phone in USB mode, i see folders like clockworkmod and im able to see my back up that i made before doing all this. However not able to access it in the phone. I also see that all my apps and everything is gone, but i still some apps folders in the usb mode. what should i do?

First, your link goes to a NxS 4G guide, but you state you got a NxS (non-4G). Which one you got?
Following is for the __NxS only__ (as I have no experience with the 4G):
If a little Droid is holding the "triangle with exclamation mark" then that is normal as you're accessing the stock recovery, press vol up + power again to see the recovery.
Once done that go here and get a full rom flashable zip for your device. Get a "signed" version if available as those are flashable via stock recovery. (*) Put the zip on your sdcard, reboot into recovery again, wipe everything the options allow you to, install zip from sdcard, reboot. You're done with an unrooted, stock phone.
If there's no "signed" you gotta flash the cwm recovery via fastboot first (USB drivers seem to be working and your phone is recognized). Go mount and storage and choose "Mount USB storage" Then continue after the (*) and leave out the reboot after putting the zip on your sdcard.

yeh crap i just realized.. i used the guide for nexus s 4g.. i have the gsm model (non-4g). from here in canada. damn i feeel so stupid... fml..
ok so behind the battery the sticker says my phone model is I9020A and then I went to the page yu asked.. and i found the following two of interest.
Android 2.3.4/GTJ61/UCKE1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Works on: I9020A
Unofficial, unsigned, must flash through ClockworkMod Recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
Courtesy of XDA forum member scott8281
Android 2.3.4/GRJ22/XXKD1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Works on: I9020T, I9023
Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
My phone before all this mess occured was on GRJ22 build. So can i use the 2nd one here since its official and signed whereas the first one is unsigned. and like u suggested i should try to find a signed rom.
next question, how do i "wipe everything the options allow you to" ..
also when i do vol up + power and scroll to recovery and press power.. google logo comes up and then the droid with white triangle that has exclamation mark. I just cannot load into recovery :$
sorry for being so noob at this :$ But thanks for helping...

Breathe.
No, you cannot use the second flash "Android 2.3.4/GRJ22/XXKD1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader" This is not for the I9020A variant.
I can tell you how to get everything back to stock. Are you willing to unlock the bootloader? There is no full signed rom for the I9020A.

You need to:

Then lock the bootloader.

Oh okay. yes please I am willing to do anything to get this phone working to normal. and by the way, when i do volume up+power, i see locked stated - unlocked. doesn't that mean my bootloader is already unlocked. I also see the lock icon along with google when i turn on the phone.

okay so basically i start following the guide from the point it says Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery Image since my bootloader is already unlocked.
one question though, right now when i connect my phone through usb, i am able to see the folder such as clockworkmod in sd card, so if im installing clockworkmod recovery, am i just reinstalling this again?
also for flashing cyanogen mod, i would choose the "method via recovery" right since my phone is not really rooted right now. I don't have the ROM manager app. Thanks a lot cool6324

The rom has to be for your phone. If your phone is an i9020A you got to take the first one you marked red.
@cool6324, I think his phone's bootloader is unlocked as his phone was rooted before and later then 2.3.x, means no Gingerbreak to avoid unlocking the bootloader.

forpulse, you got ADB set up and ready to go? (If not go to: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ to learn how to set it up)
If yes, download the rom to your pc. Also download the cwm recovery here. Boot phone into Android. Copy the rom on your sdcard (needs to be in the top folder). Copy the cwm recovery into the \tools (see below, (*))
Keep your phone connected via USB to your pc. Unmount the sdcard (the Droid got to be green not orange anymore), make sure you activated "USB Debugging" in settings (not sure of the right english terms should be in: "Apps/Programs" > Development). Now start a command prompt (windows key + r, then type "cmd", hit enter). (*)Navigate to the \tools inside ADB/SDK folder you created already or created by following the unlockr guide I linked above. To navigate simply type "cd <drive letter>:\<folder name>\tools and confirm with enter. Once inside the right folder you can start using the following commands:
adb devices (this should return you your device's id)
adb reboot bootloader (this takes a few secs and your phone will boot into bootloader menu)
fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name>.img (this should return a time and an "OK")
Now you can continue on your phone:
Navigate into recovery
Wipe > Factory reset, cache and dalvik cache
Mount and Storage > format system/boot
Install zip from sdcard, choose the ROM's name, install, confirm
"Go back" until you can choose "reboot system now", phone should boot into unrooted, stock Android now.

That clockworkmod folder contains so called "Nandroid backups". This contains a full backup of your phone (__if__ you made one).
Did you make one before messing up your phone? If yes, follow my guide above to the point your going into recovery and just hit "backup and store", "restore" instead of flashing a new rom. I'd recommend to "wipe" "factory reset", "cache" and "dalvik cache" before though.

Yes, i do have ADB set up ready to go but if I understood your right. Do I follow what your saying after following cool6324's guide or don't follow that and do what u suggest. I have not yet started out on his suggestion as I was reading everything and trying to understand. Also, when i go to download the CWM recovery. it says NS4G, so is this again for the sprint 4G model? or it also works on non-4g model which is what i have. I am just confirming this since I don't want to make the same mistake as above. :$

The linked guide's result is equal to mine if you don't flash the CyanogenMod, but the rom cool6324 linked. Just make sure you get a full rom for _your_ device this time

which top folder are u talking about. is it ".android_secure" ? and I don't extact the ROM zip file right? i just put that directly in "top folder" ? and just to make sure i'm using "Stock-GTJ61-I9020A-Unsigned"
(100mb) found from one of your earlier links.
When I went to download CWM recovery from ur provided link, I saw different ones.. is it only for colour different purposes or there is actually a valuable difference amongst them? or do i download them all... i sound so stupid right now asking such questions:$
I'm really sorry If I am frustrating you with these stupid questions.. i've only had this phones for 2 days and its my first time with android... but thanks again...

Good morning.
Yes, the difference between those recoveries is just color of text. !!Don't get the 4G version!!
The top folder is the one you access when the usb storage pops up on your pc. The zip file goes in there unextracted.
File size seems correct for a full rom.

Good Morning,
Alrighty, I think I have understood everything now, although, I'm at work right now so I will begin the process 8 hours later today and get back to you with the results... thanks for being so patient...

Hey rentaric,
i followed your guide and im delighted to say that my phone is back to normal or at least i think so lol.. everything is worked out and so far the phone is running fine. i made calls and what not.. the only issue i got now is... auto-rotate does not work. i cannot type text in landscap mode even though i got auto-rotate checked in display settings.. even in gallery, photos do not auto-rotate.. pretty much auto-rotate does not work whether i turn it on or off :S ..would you happen to anything about this? nonetheless, thank you so much for helping me out..

Glad to hear it worked out for you to some degree. Sadly I have no solution to the not workign sensor part. See, I'm not pro myself, I'd just try widgetsoid app first. It got an rotate on/off function in its widget, if that wouldn't work for me I'd prolly flash another rom to see if it's the sensor trying to bully me. In the end hardware failures are still a possibility even on teh NxS.

sounds good.. no worries... i have a feeling this phone might have a defective sensor since it did not work also before with the older ROM which was GRJ22 xxkd1 ... but anyway i'll search/ask around if anyone knows anything... thanks again man...

CWM 5.5.0.4 (tf101) Help HELP!!! CWM bootloop after OTA

REALLY hope someone can help me, bout to flip out...My Asus TF101 received an update the other day that got installed, (5/3/12) , and as soon as ICS rebooted to apply update i get the laying down Android with red Gear (or exclamation point, cant remember).I turn off, back on, and it dumps me directly into ClockworkMod5.5.0.4,....I have manually tried to install other Recovery images, to no avail.. tried to do ADP push but am getting "cannot perform action: read only file system). Ran command to remount and reset file system to RW, whats weird is i can sit and watch the solarnz recovery unzip, validate, install, and say success (through CWM recovery)....then I reboot, as prompted after new image flash and 5.5.0.4 CWM REMAINS!! only way to get into ICS is vol - and power and wait for RCK mode and dont press anything..."Wipe Data/Android" screen appears and I can start ICS from there. I just want CWM GONE and my Tablet to start normally. I'd take back Stock in a heartbeat... Thanks to anyone that may be able to offer a little guidance.. Thanks!!

Ive the same problem here... everethong you listed and a plus that ive tried so many ways get rid of the CWM but nothing worked ... i dont know whatelse showld i do..

download the 4.0.3 ruu from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631830

If you can still get into CWM than you are GOOD..i WAS able to flash an old verson of CWM that supported externalSDcard support(cause 5.5.0.4 doesn't)..
cant find exact one. i sent TF101 to ASUS, RMA'ed my device..and they fixed it WITH SU and ROOT evidence probably everywhere. Tried to get rid of it but im sure they could find something. anyway, I justed adb pushed the older CWM rom , it was army greenish text and had far more options if that helps, support for extSD, 5.2 keeps ringing a bell..don't quote me though. then selected "install zip from sdcard" on your 5.5.0.4 and navigate to the folder you pushed it to with ADB..(if you need directions for pushing the rom lemme know) Wish i could remember for ya. Google "CWM android" under images and find the green looking one, maybe youll get the version number that way I have read that a C series bootloader unlocker for Transformer is about to be released... enabling NVflash to work on the device. NO MORE softbrick!!!! It took 6 months for the B series to come out, figured it would take about this long.

Solution to help totally screwed TF101G with CWM 5.5.0.4! Go into CWM, PC discovers "Transformer" device. I found in somewhere "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1" software. Find, download and unzip. Search manually driver in these folders, inc subfolders. Founds ADB bla bla bla driver... I copied folder "Source" to C:\ and started CMD in Start menu. Go to "Source with CMD. Write "adb start-server" "adb devices" and you could see device 12345.....! I tested command "adb pull /sdcard/ c:\ (or other order, but was smth like that). Old backup files was in C:\ like clockworkmod! And download .zip with full rom and do that:"adb push c:\myromwhateveritnameis.zip /sdcard/" and with CWM install .zip!
This technique worked on my 3 months bricked TF101G, that's why I registered today here and shared experience. And you do not have to replace your 5.5.0.4, because it is working solution.

[Q] Cannot get out of recovery menu

I've gone through all the old posts, tried various suggestions using Odin and the SDK but without success.
My son got his Samsung GT-i5800 locked because he forgot the swipe code. I tried suggestions on forums but no good. So I put the phone into the recovery mode and selected "wipe data factory reset" then selected "system reboot now". The phone then rebooted and arrived back into the recovery menu. Everything I've done has brought me back to "Samsung Recovery Utils for BML"
I've downloaded the SDK manager and tried typing "abd" into the command line but it is not recognised. I've pointed the command line at the tools folder, then the platform-tools folder found the abd application but cannot run any commands. Not that it would do much good anyway as the phone doesn't connect to the PC via USB when in the recovery menu.
I know this problem has been mentioned before but all the suggestions from those posts have not worked. I have now run out of ideas.
I've spent too many hours on this, so before I go buy another phone, does anyone have any other suggestions, please?
thanks.

^First of all, there's no such command called as "abd". Also, I'm pretty sure that you probably haven't installed adb properly. Just follow the steps given in the following tut to make it work:
[How To] Setup ADB for Windows/ Mac
And secondy, there's no need to go through all that hassle. Simply pull out your battery. Insert it back and then press the following key combo:
"Vol Down + Home + Power Key". This would take you to the Download mode, now simply flash any stock or custom ROM via Odin. Here's a list of Stock ROMs available for our device:

Thanks for your suggestion. I will give it a go when I get some more time. I was following quite carefully what others had written in posts. I can only assume they missed out a detail that they thought was obvious.

Sadly I've gone through all that. You are not the first to suggest this. I flashed the rom to the phone, Odin says "PASS" but the phone just reboots back in recovery mode.
It feels like that the phone's equivalent to the bios is telling it to go into recovery mode and not boot up the operating system. So regardless of what ROM is flashed onto the phone, I get the recovery menu. :crying:

Delete boot partition
And reflash...
Hope it will ... or else try purumod ..

If u were on stock rom initially then u can always get help from Samsung service center
Secondly if u have cwm recovery u can install rom or update.zip through cwm itself
Also
Its surprising that after data wipe such problem appeared did u miss out something

lg mytouch c800 bricked?

hi im pretty new here a friend of mine gave me her lg c800 mytouch to try and fix it for her.. not sure what she did she said she rooted the phone and the root was successful but i have a good idea that she doesnt know what she was doing..i will post a pic of the error screen im getting. but it says
E:Cant find misc
E:cant find misc
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [sd:/download/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.Zip]
E:Cant mount SDCARD:/download/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip
Installation aborted
facory reset failed
restart factory reset..
now im far from a pro at this i know a lil more about computers and Ios devices..but ive rooted a few phones and to me it looks like she unzipped adb fastboot on her phone from her sd card??
ive tried holding F..A..vol down..and power..Nothing..
ive tried volume up .volume down and power still nothing..
BUT if i hold E..vol UP and power it brings me to a white screen that says S/W update
the big problem is the phone wont stay on long enough to do anything on the computer it stays on 3 sec. then reboots to same screen (computer says phone is unplugged) then phone just keeps restarting.
but the phone WILL stay on when i put it on the S/W update screen..but computer wont recognize the phone at all on that screen
ive tried the adb and fastboot commands but the phone wont stay recognized..it will recognize the phone and say thats its in recovery mode but when phone restarts it dont see phone no more..
well thanks ahead of time if anyone has any input or solution
and hopefully all this will make sense to someone lol
i think this pic will work.. if not ill try again

any ideas please?? or am i completely out of luck?

...do you mean that you can successfully communicate with the phone over USB, but you only have 3 seconds? What way is the phone recognized? Is it visible to adb/fastboot?

Yes In Adb device list it shows the phone and then says recovery..but after that I don't have enough time to type any other commands ..the phone is also recognized in "my computer" as removable device then when the phone restarts seconds later it says device unplugged ..and just keeps restarting on its own till I remove the battery...I just read on the forum in a post that Adb will recognize the phone if it's off but I remove the battery and put it back in and plug in USB and phone turns on and keeps restarting won't even let me turn it off!! I'm losing patience with this thing lol
But I don't get why the error mentions fastboot? Not my phone so if it's not fixable I don't really care but I'm just the stuborn type when it comes to fixing electronics ..again thanks ahead of time to anyone that helps cuz I'm completely lost on this one

Have you tried timing it to send a quick "adb reboot recovery"? If you can use fastboot, you can tell it to boot off a new, custom recovery img, without actually flashing it.

i have the same problem

i used an app on the market to remove bloatware. i removed slacker and the app stated that after two reboots that everything would be fine and the app would be gone. after one reboot the phone has the same screen this gentlemans lady friend has. it looks like the app its looking for is no longer zip aligned properly. someone told me to rename a recovery image the error message to trick the bootloader into thinking the missing app is there. hes an app dev so i figured he knows whats what. ive tried everything the gentleman in this post said and more. hell i have two of these phones and rooted the other and made a backup of that phone and dragged the backup to an sd card and rebooted to see if any of the backed up system apks would trigger a successful reboot but to no avail. i have all the drivers i need and adb commands but nothing works because the phone doesnt stay connected to my pc long enough for anything. please reply with some knowledge. ive been scouring the web for at least a month. i was so happy when i came across this. i actually became a member just to post about this erroer (look up diabolus ae in the forum search field. my post is about 3 days old with a better pic of the screen message. i bought a galaxy s II but i want to give the lg to my son. please help or respond:cyclops:

Normally, if you want to flash a custom recovery through fastboot, people will tell you to run 2 commands:
fastboot flash recovery nameofimagefile.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Since you don't have time to execute those 2 commands, you can tell it to just boot from the .img file, without flashing over your current recovery. (This is actually proper form, as you can test if the .img file works properly without damaging your existing recovery.) The way you do that is to 1st copy a recovery .img file to the root of your SD card, then execute the following 1 command:
fastboot boot nameofimagefile.img
Since you only have ~3 seconds, type the command in, and wait for the right instant to hit enter on the keyboard. If the command is successfully sent to the phone, it will reboot into that .img.
See if that works for you. Good luck.

Root Status = ROOTED
I cannot boot into recovery mode (but when i try i get this, look in pic 2&3)
Tablet Type = HKC (NOT HTC) p776a
ANDROID Version I think (98% shure) is 4.1.1 beta JB
What happened = A few years ago 2013 i think a got this tablet then i learned about rooting, roms, and such so i spent the next year or two trying to root the tablet. I finally got it rooted with a chinese root program and all was well (i don't remember the name of the program) then there was a update for su and i pressed the twrp/cwm mode on accident (I think I was talking to someone at the time) and now it does what is shown in the image 1 it is on some boot loop. When I try to access the hboot menu it does what is shown in these images 2&3. Also my tablet has a MicroSD card slot and the battery can not be taken out. the regular bootloop picture is image file 1 that is what it looks like when it does its continuous bootloop and P.S. the tablet turns off and on automatically during the bootloop. To try and fix it i have let it do its bootloop for hours on end turn it on and off tried looking for a compatible rom (to no avail) and let the battery completely die that is about it.

Okay. Just a few more questions.
Does your tablet boot into recovery (picture 1) even if you try to boot normally? (fastboot maybe)
Can you boot into anything else other than recovery? (try different button combinations)
Does ADB recognise your tablet when it's in recovery mode? (if you don't know about this, just post your computer OS and if you have ADB/Fastboot drivers installed on your PC)
If the anwser the the first question is no:
Does ADB recognise the device while it's in the bootloop.

sorry, i forgot to clarify the hboot. it pops up the "words" or whatever then automatically reboots there is no way to select options or keep the device on so i cant use fastboot unless there is a way i dont know of. P.S. the tablet restarts automatically so it is on for like 25 maybe 30 seconds then shuts off then turns back on and repeats till the battery is dead. My thought originally to fix it was to get a rom put it on the sdcard and see if that works but the manufacture does not supply the rom for my model only the p771a. and the only physical buttons are the home, power, the pinhole reset button, the volume and such buttons are virtual on the screen when it is fully on. And picture 1 i dont fully know what that screen symbol is the hboot one is similar but not that but yes it does but to picture 1 nomadder what i do even if i try to get to hboot menu. Sorry if this is a "little" scattered having explaining it. If it would help i can make a video and rar it and upload it here.

1. Download fixcache.bat.zip on your computer. Extract cachefix.bat from the file.
2. Run it. It should say just "Waiting for device..."
3. Now reset your tablet with the reset button and QUICKLY plug it into the computer and wait a few minutes.
Now try to get to that text in picture 1 and tell me what happends.
Also post the text you see on the computer from the file I sent you.
Tell me if

Umm, you said there is a reset button on the tablet so pressing that would probably reset it.
The error you are getting is because adb is not installed on your PC. Use this simple adb installer to instal adb. When installing just press yes to everything. MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS PLUGGED IN THE COMPUTER WHILE INSTALLING AND THAT IT'S ON!
Now run the file again.
If you want you can add me on Skype: janekmuric

If you want to know what is happening:
You are in what's called a recovery bootloop. It's when you can't get out of the recovery. What is happening in this case is that Superuser app tried to install it's binaries via recovery. Because some people don't know how to install binaries manually, the app puts a file on the cache partition so the recovery automaticly installs the zip upon booting. Now, this would be good so you don't mess up your device, but the zip file it's trying to install is faulty so it just breaks the device.
My attept at fixing this is to delete the /cache/recovery folder so it doesn't just install the file, and instead boots into a working recovery.

30 seconds is more than enough. Especally with an automated script like the one I sent you.
The first thing we have to do to fix your tablet is to establish a working ADB connection. Use the ADB installer i sent you. And look up on how to install Google USB driver for ADB.
