Hi
I got an issue after receiving an OTA update for my Nexus S. It was an official update asking my if I would like to install it. I choose yes and the device booted. It began to install and suddenly the triangle with exclamation mark popped up.
Since then, the phone only boots up randomly. Mostly if stays at a logo saying "google" in middle of the screen. No more Nexus bootup color game.
Is there any way to get this phone back to stock without being an expert?
It is a Nexus S 9020
I9020XXKD1
Kernel 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 android [email protected] #1
GRJ22
It was stock rom 2.3.4 and rooted at the time of the update
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Martin
I am in the same ship Martin. Updated it to the 2.3.6 from 2.3.4 when I got the OTA. It was working fine, then the screen just stopped responding. It gets stuck at the google colour game now, and the screen turns off after some time. However, if I plug in the usb power charger, the screen lights up again, and the colour game proceeds a bit, then the screen turns off again. if i pull out the usb charger then, the screen lights up again. its been crazy since morning.
im sure that if we reset it, we can get it to work. but in my case i have been unable to do that. can someone tell us how to format/reset our nexus S?
Think I got it sorted.
Running 2.3.6. now, rooted. No loss of data for whatever reason.
What I did.
First of all, in one of those moments were the device was up, i copied a stock 9020T rom 2.3.6 on the sdcard.
In recovery mode, SDcard was never available. While reading through endless threads I found a recovery rom image called 5023_green.img
I had nothing to loose, so i flashed it using fastboot. A started in recovery and I got full access to my SDcard. I updated from full stock rom 2.3.6 I loaded to the SDcard earlier. Since then, no more issues. Surprisingly here I would have expected loss of root and wipe of all data. But this did not happen. All data is there in its place.
Cheers

Hi all,
I rooted my gf's nexus s a while ago to get the ics update faster.
A few weeks ago she updated it to jelly bean via ota.
Now for some reason my girl decided to do a factory reset few days ago
But now i want to unroot it and it's not working
when i go into recovery mode i get the android mascot laying down with an open stomach, but with a ! mark in a traingle
(i wanted to show a picture but the forum is preventing me from doing so)
anyone any idea what to do ?
EDIT: after trying to get into the recovery several times, the phone just died
it doesn't turn on anymore
what do i do now ?
lol it could be bricked if it wont turn on. the picture of andy laying down and an exclaimation point means you dont have a custom recovery installed. if she did a factory wipe and has the ota, the phone is most likely no longer rooted. you can just relock the phone and its like it never happened
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
alright
i just couldn't connect the phone anymore to my pc to lock it
found it weird...
anyway it's now to the shop as i couldn't get it working anymore
it went from 81% to 0% in seconds after disconnecting from the pc
after that it wouldn't turn on anymore
I have the nexus s 4g flashed to boost mobile. it has ran great for over a year now. i have flashed many roms and kernals to it and it has worked like a charm with only the occational hickup. but a few weeks ago when i would power it down and change may battery it would start to get stuck on the google screen. i could pull the battery a few times and it would eventually take off and work fine for a few day and then do it again. this last time it done it i cant get it to go past the google screen for nothing. i can get into the fast boot mode and also into clockworkmod touch recovery but when i go into flash zip from sd it say error loading sd, when i plug it into my computer it conects when in fastboot but i cannot access my sd memory at all. i tried the pdanet but it wont work due to no access to the sd. i downloaded the program wugs nexus tool kit and tried to flash stock and unroot with option bootloop / soft-brick in my boot loader. the program seems like it is working, it takes control of my phone restarts bootloader a few times then says restarting your now stock phone, but my phone just sits in bootloader. i have tried to manually reboot system and it just goes to the google screen and stops. when i power on my phone the google logo comes up, flashes away for a split second then pops back up with the leds at the bottom of my phone on this time but thats all i can get. please help i dont know what to try next. let me know if any of you have had this problem before and what you did to get it fixed. Please help i miss my Nexus...
** UPDATE *** Well i havnt really given up on my Nexus but i gave in and bought a new Galaxy S II so i could have a working smart phone again. Ill still be working on the Nexus in my spare time so ill update if i have any luck.
Sent from my SPH-D710 Galaxy S II running Crossbones JB ROM with matrix using xda app-developers app
So I have had my S3 rooted for a long while. But the past few weeks it's been running a bit slower. This week it started randomly turning off. I thought it was my battery at first. But then when I tried to turn it back on it got stuck at the Galaxy s3 screen and would not get into the OS.
I tried to get into recovery, it froze on the splash screen. I made sure both were actually frozen by leaving it sitting there for 30 min to an hour.
Tried to flash using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
It kept just sitting at writing NAND.
Now my phone says "Firmare Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Kies will not connect my device. It sees it but will not complete the connection. I tried using the model and IMEI number to upgrade firmware but it still would not connect to do that.
More searching lead me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&page=11
But I can't get into OS or recovery so I don't think this would work.
Any suggestions on what I can do from here? I only really need the phone to work for a few more months. My old Droid incredible just doesn't cut it at this point.
Sorry to bump, but nobody has anything for this? I haven't really found any other options.
Your bootloader is fine so that thread won't help you. What was the last version of touch wiz that was on your phone before you ran into problems?
