Hi experts,
today I was very successfull in breaking my Nexus S.
- It is a European Nexus S (i9023?)
- It was running Cyanogenmod 10.1
- I tried to wipe it completely before going for 10.2
- To do so I used Nexus Root Toolkit for the 1st time
- TWRP recovery was running and used to wipe things (maybe to many...)
- Something went obviously wrong (my fault) :crying:
Now:
- Power button not working (battery needs to be removed for power off)
- It boots only till the Google logo is shown together with the open lock symbol
- It seems to be frozen then
- Nexus Root Toolkit is not able to connect to the phone anymore (adb/fastboot)
To prevent any further collateral damage, I am now open for suggestions about how to proceed.
All I want is to have it back up and running, no matter which system.
Thank you,
B
Can you reach Bootloader menu and then try reaching your phone with fastboot? (power and volume up when phone is switched off)
If yes, get Image here (developers . google . com / android / nexus / images) /sorry cannot post links -.-
And then
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxlc2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-jzo54k.zip
I broke my xperia l lcd last year. Digitizer was partly working. Developer option was not enabled.
Recently I found this thead and started playing:-
1. No display, so could not use a graphical recovery to flash a rom (with debug opt enabled).
2. Flashed Kitkat Omni rom (it has system.img, boot.img...) using fastboot.
3. Now I can use [email protected] and other similar tools to use the phone somewhat.
My problems / queries:-
1. Main problem I do not have app level root access, tried various methods but failed.
2. Cannot flash recovery image (using fastboot / flash_image) to use philz / cwm.. It says remote command not allowed / write not permitted. When I flashed the philz recovery as boot the omni rom does not start. Any other options?
3. Can some one let me know how to create a shortcut for system menu app 'Cast Screen' (with predefined display device) in desktop / or put it in autostart.
I leaned a lot due to this broken phone. Thanks xda, Omni Rom & [email protected] developers. k.janku1 , many others and of-course Sony mobile.
AD.
At last I found a solution for rooting
I have philz touch in my other phone. I noticed it was very easy to use blindly as it has touch feedback.
So I got the root problem solved by following steps:-
Enter fastboot mode [switch off phone - press vol up + usb cable insert -> blue light will turn on]
fastboot -w
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot philz_touch.img [temporarily, as omni will not boot with philz_cwm]
fastboot reboot
while starting pink light is on press vol down to enter recovery mode [philz touch]
Touch buttons below
down = up = back = enter
press back several times to reset the cursor at top
down once (intsall from zip) -> press power button
down 4 times (as it has internal sd and ext sd, install from side laod) -> press power button
adb sideload Update_SuperSU.zip
wait
adb reboot bootloader [fastboot mode ]
fastboot flash boot boot.img [omni's original boot.img]
fastboot reboot
Now as I got the root power every other problem will be solved very soon.
Hope this will help someone someday.
In short:
Scenario:
Bootloop or logo Google freeze
bootloader is unlocked
I tried to:
Flash original stock with normal method and with Nexus Root Toolkit (menù bootloop).
I can't access recovery from bootloader menu (after click Recovery it bootloop)
I can access recovery by adb commands
I can't power off with power button (it reboot), I must go to bootloader menu and select power off.
What can I do?
thanks

Try flash a custom recovery image like twrp with fastboot (connect phone to pc, go into bootloader)
How to do that:

(Skip step 6 and 7)
Hope that helped
I had this problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doPuXkQTGbc
its the power button.
try clicking it a lot of times while booting or smash it (the power button facing down) on a table a few times. This fixes it for most of us
Power button is ok.
I installed twrp with Nexus root toolkit, do you think with this method can change something?
are there advanced controls I can use on the Nexus toolkit?

The problem was the defective battery.

Hello guys, today I updated my phone to Android 10 and it "bricked" I guess. So I found a fix, which is very simple. For the *s read at the bottom of the thread, enjoy.
STEPS:
1) Set your phone in Fastboot mode and plug it into your PC
2) Open a terminal tab in your PC and type these commands:
First:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Result will be:
Code:
current-slot: a [COLOR="Red"][B](or b)*[/B][/COLOR]
Second:
Code:
fastboot set_active a [COLOR="Red"][B](or b)*[/B][/COLOR]
After these steps, reboot your phone into recovery mode and do a factory reset and reboot again, then it should be fine. If you have any problem, let me know!
*if you have slot a as main, then the command will be
Code:
fastboot set_active a
Well, I guess you were not the one who found this out ?
A factory reset is also not nessesary, just flash V11, V10 or V09.

did you solve it?the bootloader locked? can you help me how to unlock? i cant go through
my take on the FIX
1 - https://github.com/awake558/adb-win
2 - download/unpack run the commands from this folder.
3 - now put your phone in fastboot mode by holding power + volume down (-)
4 - now connect cable , now use the command - fastboot devices - you should get a serial number -
5 - use - fastboot getvar current-slot - it wil tell you if its on slot a or b now
6 - use - fastboot --set-active=b - or fastboot --set-active=a - or fastboot set_active other
7 - fastboot reboot - the phone will boot now and will ask for a code do nothing , just power off the phone -
8 - now turn on the phone by pressing power + volume up a screen with android robot will appear
9 - press power + volume up again and enter the recovery menu now using only volume up or down to navigate to reboot into system now select yes to confirm
10 - if reboot fails go back in to recovery and factory reset then reboot into system
after i got the greyscale screen, i flashed android 9 rom but the phone is stuck in another kind of bootloop,
was it the damaged partition or the working partition that i flashed the rom into?
can i still use those commands to unbrick my phone or i need to flash another rom ?
Does somebody of you succeded to update to Android 10 with OTA patch?
In affirmative case is there somebody who has the touch screen with double tap to wake like mine?
I still have the automatic updates disabled cause I'm scared about the phone brick in case it fails
I really don't know if Xiaomi will fix the upgrade issues that some Mi A2 Lite devices faced, like boot looping
Did you found some way to fix this? i flashed another rom so it keep with bootloop whatever i do
Not working with an unlocked bootloader here:
fastboot set_active b
Setting current slot to 'b'...
FAILED (remote: Slot Change is not allowed in Lock State
)
finished. total time: 0.000s
Hi,
I flashed a wrong boot.img via fastboot, and done reboot.(redmi 6)
After that the phone stuck in bootloop with no screen at all (vibrate when it try to boot).
- can't enter to fastboot mode, either not to TWRP.
- can't even to turn the phone off (tried with pow + vol-up + vol-down, but didn't work).
- PC not recognize the phone.
I have an unlocked bootloader if it make any different to this situation.
Please help
