[Q] [Help] Stock, unrooted, untouched 1920 Nexus S stuck in boot animation

Hi, completely lost with what to do so hoping you guys can help me out. I am relatively clueless (but hopefully able to follow direction).
Heres the story:
Bought a Nexus S second hand for Rogers here in Canada. Been working great for 3 months or so.
The phone, to my knowledge, has never been rooted in anyway, hacked, etc.
So I have had Go Launcher and its associated widgets installed for some time. No issues. About a week ago I got an update notification for 2.3.6 (I was previously on 2.3.4, and even though I checked it never did find 2.3.5)
Now I heard about issues with tethering, and since I never had the search pop up issue I kept ignoring this.
Well today, the Go Launcher got 'stuck' while I was switching orientation( horizontal to verticle) and once it got unstuck recevied a ton of force close notices. I decided to power it off. It got stuck in the power off animation. I pulled the battery.
Since then, it gets stuck in the boot animation (rainbow x?). I have pulled battery numerous times, one time it sat in the animation for 20 min or so, only to restart itself and do it again.
I went to fastboot, and rebooting that way does nothing. Also, I can't go to recovery, when I do it restarts, and then the Android pops up, but eventually I get an Exclamation mark and Android and need to pull battery.
I don't think I can hook it up to the pc because I don't think I enabled usb debugging.
What are my options, any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to flash the clock work recovery to put a new rom, first install the usb drivers for the nexus and the using dos flash the clock work recovery

Is that possible even though I'm pretty sure usb debugging is not enabled?
Any idea what caused this?
Surely there is a way to reset?

OK so did the rooting procedure but stopped before actually hitting the rooting stage.
Any ideas what happened?
Could it have been Go Launcher? Or maybe enabling orientation switching caused it to freak out...

Follow up to step 7 in the nexusshacks how to root guide and goto recovery mode now, select mounts and thrmen mount usb storage and copy a downloaded rom like cyanogen mode and goto install from zip and fromsd sdcard to install and then advance>clear delvik cache and clear cache partition before installing the rom

If you don't tick the prevent force close, a month ago mine were stuck on home screen and keep forceclosing, all i do is just install another launcher press home screen and voila

The android ! Is the recovery. Stock recovery.
You can try a factory reset from in there.
Or do the entire unlock bootloader and root thing. Unlocking will wipe the phone anyways so just try a factory reset from recovery.
At the ! There is a button press that brings you to the options. I can't recall for sure what it is though. I think it is volume up and press power but I am not certain. If you can't figure it out on your own just look it up.

You probably corrupted your sdcard partition while pulling the battery while it was trying to unmount. If that's the case your sdcard is now bad and the only way to fix is to send it in to service.

So just went ahead and rooted and now running cm7.
Unfortunately lost everything on the phone but had no choice. It was not possible to get into fastboot and use recovery. It hung at the exclamation mark.
Oh well. First time using CM7.... pretty good... mostly just seems to be stock android?

Again the exclamation mark IS the stock recovery.

I believe Rom Toolbox isn't good for much, if anything. I'm not sure why changing or downloading themes in this app could cause you to bootloop, but if it has you need to run a 'return to stock' 2.3.5 script by booting into AP Fastboot or use RSD Lite. OTA update to 2.3.6, re-root, and you should be good.
Everything you need to know is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Also, going forward, ALWAYS make a CWM Backup before doing anything, like flashing roms or experimenting with root apps.

so i tryed that and now my phone wont work pretty much at all its stuck in a loop to where it will load up and after about 5 seconds not even enough time to have it usb connected to my computer to add or delete anything it keeps saying google process stopped and all these other processes stopped then it starts over again i just got the phone less than two months ago i really need help with this any advice???

There is no reason why the aforementioned suggestion shouldn't have worked. Couple things to keep in mind:
Do you have a fully charged battery when doing all this?
Do you have the Motorola USB drivers installed?
Did you DL the proper fxz for your phone?
Make sure you boot into fast boot by holding up on the volume rocker, and then holding the power button down.
Attach your USB cable to the BACK of your com, and follow the instructions listed out in the link in the post above.
Follow them exactly!

Before using the restore script you need to install the USB drivers for your MB865 (If this your model A2), you can get those from HERE:
Next, unzip the Return to Stock 2.3.5 Fastboot SCRIPT.zip to anywhere you like in your pc (example: C:\RestoreScript\ ) The script can be downloaded HERE:
Then, connect your phone with the USB cable to the PC and get into FastBoot mode for this in your phone by pressing and holding down the volume down & volume up & power at the same time. It should appear with a screen and some options; use the volume down key of your phone to navigate through the menu until you see the AP FastBoot option, then enter by pressing the volume up key, this will show you some messages and the finally it should said USB connected.
Then open the folder where you extracted the Return to Stock 2.3.5 FastBoot SCRIPT files and search a .bat file call "Stock Restore" - should be toward the bottom of the files in this folder. Then run the file (double click on it) and it should open a command prompt screen with some instructions if the phone is connected correctly and you installed the drivers correctly then in some point the screen will show you the ID of your device and it will wait you to press the enter key to start the process. Press any key to enter and wait for the process to begin to program. Then, after some time the command prompt window will give you a message saying its finished. After that, it will reboot your phone and install the stock 2.3.5. When it boots up again, you should see the android logo and a progress bar filling up.
When it's done wait for the device to reboot again, and after that you can OTA (Over-The-Air) update to Android version 2.3.6. by navigating in your device to Settings/About Phone/System Updates.
Hope this helps.

This link should still be good: http://www.filefactory.com/file/2zx...hing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip
This assuming you are using a AT&T MB865 model. Verify before you flash!

so true. My record is 29 softbricks in one day.

Also, install CWM on boot!
This way your phone ALWAYS boots into recovery on initial start up. Saved me too many times to count.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606257
Or certain roms already have it.

SSGS 4G won't turn on! Please help

Sorry I'm a noob here, but here's the problem
I have a Galaxy S 4G, rooted
I tried doing an icon change for the battery through ROM Toolbox app and the phone turned off and now it won't boot up, I looked on other posts but couldn't find anything that would help, I figured out how to get into download mode but it won't go into recovery. It just goes up to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo and stops or keeps rebooting if I press Vol Up and the power button
Please help!

When you see the logo flash just slightly brighter let go of the power button.

Hold vol-up and vol-down, then hold power, then when the phone starts to boot let go of power while still holding the volume buttons until you get into recovery.

Follow this link here:
Heimdall One-Click Back-to-Stock
It will provide you with everything you need to revert your phone back to stock so it will turn on. Unfortunately, anything that flashes a ROM like this will delete all of your data on the phone itself (i.e. contacts, apps, etc.). Hopefully you have a backup of your contacts in Google or T-Mobile, and you can always just push your apps back to your phone through the Play Store on the computer if you don't have a Titanium Backup. Nothing on the SD card will be deleted, but it is still a good idea to make a backup of it on your computer before you do this.

If they are backed up in Google or T-Mobile, they should restore on their own. Also, contacts that are on your SIM card won't be deleted. Other than that, there's nothing you can really do that I know of.

Got a little question, any help would be verrry appreciated, uh I flashed cm9 on my infuse 4g from a red cwm and when I rebooted it got stuck on the samsung boot like it said it does, I battery pulled n retried it but it didnt boot up, so I booted into cwm recov. and it was all messed up, like a scrambled TV channel... I can't see anything, I tried to restore a backup just like from memory but it didnt work, I'm not sure which cwm version is used on cm9, but then I try to put it into odin mode and it doesnt go, can't connect to the cpu, doesnt go into odin mode, jus goes str8 to samsung screen and freezes. Anyone got any ideas? The scrambled cwm, from what I can make out, looks like its the one with the grey background... ne1 kno if thats the recovery cm9 comes with? Maybe I could restore my backup if I knew exactly how many times to press the volume up & down rockers and all that... idk. Again, any input'd b much appreciated

Sounds like you're still on GB bootloader..use Heimdall One Click by Qkster once flashed and return to stock GB rom then repeat procedure with tick mark on Flash Bootloader after that flash Entropy's kernel (all provided in the link) to get into red cwm then you can flashed your ICS rom after that.

Also to use Odin/heimdal you have to go to download mode not recovery

Don't remember exactly and don't have a windows computer in front of me
But, plug your phone as if you were going to download mode
Don't unplug it even if it doesn't go to DL mode
Go to "my computer"
I think you go to system properties
There should be a thing under system properties for hardware, drivers or it might be advanced...don't really remember
Locate the infuse under usb ...it will probably be gadget serial, or something like that...to ease the process disconnect all other USB that way only your phone shows up
Double click it that should open up a window of the driver settings
Uninstall the drivers
Unplug your phone, go to the ISET page which is sticked in the dev section and download the infuse drivers (don't use kies...)
Its not necessary but i like to reboot after installing new drivers
Now try to connect to download mode
Good luck, I'll try and clarify those steps later

[Q] Blank screen / No launcher / Only status bar on Android phone

Hi,
I need a help.
I have a phone LG VM701 (LG optimus slider) with virgin mobile.
I reset my phone and now I have no launcher and have a blank screen. I can only receive phone call or message.
To install a launcher I tried several things, but nothing worked.
When I got phone call, I went to contacts to add my Google account.
Then, I went to Google play on PC, to download a launcher automatically to my phone but my phone wasn't on the list of possible devices.
Then, I send me an email with attachment with launcher but there was no alarm on new email on status bar.
So that doesn't work too.
Next thing I did is making a friend to send an URL through message.
When I click the URL in message, the message program shut down.
(I was trying to connect internet app to download a launcher)
Then, I tried to use adb to install. When I connected phone to PC, I found there was no debugging mode.
I cannot type any thing because it simply doesn't connect to my phone.
I really don't know what to try next.
Help me if you know any other way to try.

I rooted with one click rooting or something. I did it a while ago.
So, I don't have custom recovery.
I cannot flash a new ROM..

ADB is always an option. If you do a search, there should be info about pushing a recovery image onto your device. Just as long as you have the latest drivers for your device, this should be possible.

I try to use a program call 'adb made easy' and then found out it doesn't even connect to my phone.
When I connect other android device, it easily connect to the device.
Do you think it could be different if I try to do manually with adb not using some program?

Is there cwm for your phone?

Hi, noob here.
I have the same problem, everything works (camara button, notifications bar, etc.) but I have a blank screen and can"t access anything that its not a shortcurt through the devices buttons (can"t access the menu).
Its a Droid x and I rooted it, i deleted some things with titanium backup (nothing that said launcher and i supposed that if I stayed away from the green ones there was no problem but I backed them up anyway) and think this is the problem, I tried to back everything with CWD but could not get it to CWM recovery mode so I uninstalled it....I was gonna give the phone to my gf but found out that I could not add accounts and could not change the main one so I reset the phone and here I am.
Is the problem that I messed my launcher? can I apply an update from the sd card in recovery mode from a zip file or do I have to use ADB? or is the problem something else entirely?
PD: Sorry if this are dumb questions and the long post, thanks in advance.
