I seemed to have bricked my Nexus S 4g, I unlocked the bootloader, and had MIUI running on there for some time with no problems, I took the rom off and started to run with just stock android. I ran into an issue when i tried to use an application that would change the system fonts, Fontchanger, and now the phone will not even reach the nexus s loading screen but instead gets immediately stuck at the first image screen showing the Google logo. When i hold the volume up and power button i can get into the boot menu, but when i try to get into the recovery menu i just get the triangle with the exclamation mark logo. Can anyone help me out with this one?
BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP In a similar situation, flashed the wrong rom ran the OTA and wiped out recovery & USB.
Press Power and Volume Up Button in recovery mode and you will get options to clean things up. Did the same in morning and got it when accidentally pressed.

Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))

Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.
Hey People,
I rooted my Galaxy Nexus and downloaded rom manager, from there i downloaded a rom for Jellybean. The phone rebooted and is stuck on X glowing logo for long time. I went into Recovery mode but i get the exclamation mark with android symbol (at this point i try to press Volume up and down and power button and nothing happens). I'm so lost on what else to do. I have no way of getting into the phone to the hard reset. I would be glad to get the phone back up and running.
Any help would be great.
I'm usually pretty good at following instructions but I have a problem. I am rooted with TWRP, stock kernel. I successfully applied the 4.4.1 update and used the phone for awhile no probs. Tried re-applying the 4 way reboot menu mod that I'd used successfully on 4.4.0. TWRP says flash was successful. I rebooted and am stuck at the spinning google colored circles. I cant get into recovery mode by holding the volume up/down and power buttons. The phone vibrates briefly when I hold all three but the logo keeps spinning. Pressing power button only does the same. Tried connecting to PC but mac says can't read device and to reboot it. ?help?
Update - Got her to reboot with volume down/pwer, into TWRP, and restored from backup, Back up and running...
hey friends plz help me.
my nexus 5 was facing a strange problem. when ever i try to switch on/ off screen using power button then the device vibrates and camera starts and cell restarts.
i thought it would be a small bug and i did a factory reset but then i still faced the same problem.
after reading on threats i tried to clear cache and the moment i did it from the bootloader by cell got stuck in boot loop.
usb debugging is not enabled as i did a factory reset and now from last 3 days it is stuck in boot loop.
i also tried to open recovery mode but it does not start. i get a android lying on his back with a red exclamatory mark and then again the device restarts into boot loop
plz help me friends as i have only this cell to use and i can not contact anyone because it is not working.
Possible power button problem?
You were almost in recovery: press the Power button to select Recovery Mode.
– after that you will see an Android robot tilted and showing a red warning sign. Now, you need to press and hold POWER, and then press the Volume Up button once.
It definitely could be a power button issue. I would try factory reset from recovery since it wouldn't make things worse.

Try Fastboot boot recovery.img to load recovery on phone

Hello there,
EDIT: u just hold volume up, took me a while to figure this out * facepalm *
I'm new here, so if this isn't the right place, please let me know.
I wanted to get my Nexus 5 back to complete stock, and it had a weird issue where it would immediately reboot if connected over USB.
So I decided to use a flash-all.bat that comes with the original factory images, which seemed to be successful. However, now my phone is stuck in a boot loop, and doesn't get past the Google logo.
I can get to the fastboot screen by holding volume down, but if I then try to boot into recovery all I get is a dead android guy with the red exclamation triangle.
I tried restarting, force restarting, safe boot, but I keep ending up in the fastboot menu.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
