Help ! Samsung Nexus S totally locked ! - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Today I'm totally stressed because since two days, I cannot start my Google Nexus S.
I expose to you my problem :
I had a completely normal Nexus S in which I didn't installed anything wrong, only apps from the android market.
Three days ago my phone rebooted then it get lock on the google logo.
To repair it, I had a look in forums and I find the Odin method.
So I decided to use it and my phone got started normally (I just had a weird problem : I couldn't install several applications from the Android Market which I had before because it was saud "not compatible")
The day after, my Nexus S rebooted once again and then it was locked on the google screen with an open padlock under it
Since that, I think I have attempted everything to reboot it normally
I've tried once again the Odin method but it didn't work
I have installed the clockworkmod recovery but i don't know why I can't access my sd card so i cant install .zip files.
My PC recognize my phone in fastboot mode
My phone is from UK so its a I9020
Now I don't know what to do and I hope somebody will be able to help me and get out of this nightmare
Thank you
Maxime
PS: Sorry for my bad english but I'm french and I don't have a very good level in english

If you were completely stock and did nothing "wrong" (root, flash roms, etc) then you should go back to the store you got it from and they should give you a replacement. That would be my course of action

Have you tried to mount your usb storage via recovery? Then copying a stock rom on there.
Tried to look for missing usb drivers in the hardware manager part of your pc?
I'm not familiar wit return policies in your country, but if everything else fails you can always try to return the phone if it was bought only recently.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Yes I've tried to mount my usb storage but I can't access it I don't know why
The problem is that I've bought my phone in England and I live in France the models of Nexus S sold in those country are'nt the same and I don't know what they are going to give me if I give them

Can anyone help me ? Please

You're missing the usb driver prolly. Try updating/reinstalling it.

[Q] A different kind of stuck

Hey xda'ers, after searching for hours and hours on this forum site I came to the conclusion that there is no awnser to my problem. So this is my final resort.
(BTW I'm sorry if somebody else posted this problem, let me know and I will immidiatly delete this tread).
Okay lets go to the problem.
A little over a year ago I got my LG 3D P920 and it worked just fine. It had trouble qith multiple finger on the touchscreen so I decided to root it and make it a little more personal. The rooting went smooth and flawless. I decided that I did not want to change ROM cause of the danger of getting bricked. Unfortunatly a few months later I put a new ROM on it. Cyanogenmod 10 stable version. I was kind of a newbie, and didnt know this would screw up my 3g network. So I tried a few different ROM but none worked. The problem got worse. My phone didnt recognize the internal SD card so i could not download play store.
To get to the point, I can not turn on my phone anymore. I stays at the LG logo. I can still get into recovery but when I want to install a new ROM from my external SD card it says, E: cant mount /external_SD/.
Its drivin me crazy. Ive tried using Odin and smartflashtool. But my laptop wont recognize my phone. I hear it connect and disconnect al the time when USB plugged.
Please tell me if you guys need more information.
Thanks to everybody who is willing to help me!:good:

Thanks for the tip, tried this method and it didnt work. But somehow my phone recognized the external sd card so it let me install a rom. So its all good now. I just have so fix the problem that it doesnt recognize my sim card.
But still thanks for the suggestion!:good:
If you hear disconnect/connect sound, that means drivers on pc are not installed, so you are probably getting a bad flash. I have never installed CMod, but I am pretty sure driver install for pc is the same. Check part 1, page 1 here

Then you can follow GrMo's guide or flash Fastboot or use Smartflash or LG Flash Tool or ADB or whatever else.

[Completed] SAMSUNG TAB2 Stuck on BootLoop please Help me!!!

Hello Guys
So i recently purchased a samsung tablet (gt-n8013) it was working fine, i put it to charged came back from work and it wouldn't bootup ,it stuck at the samsung logo..I checked online (google and youtube) and it seems like a common issue with that tablet (thank you samsung), i tried almost everything, hard reset, root the tablet and nothing seems to be working. I also noticed my laptop doesn't recognized the device after i download the latest firmware from samsung,i tried different softwares like Odin or kies none of them wouldn't recognized the device, so it was impossible to root my tablet..i bought a new usb cable and tried the same steps on a different pc still nothing...Its been two weeks now still not working and i don't know what else to do, if anyone ran to the same problem and knows how to fix it ,could you kindly help me resolve this issue or point me out to the right direction PLEASE!!!..Thank you.
Hi, first, please don't make duplicate threads, http://forum.xda-developers.com/postings.php?t=3131512&pollid= We do this on our free time and sometimes it takes us awhile to respond
Your best bet is to ask for help in your device's forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1. But sometimes device's just die. Odin is your best chance to get it working again. With your device booted into download mode and connected to your pc does device manager show anything? Maybe an icon with a yellow exclamation mark.

R7 PlusM doesn't boot properly anymore

Hi there, I have tried to find a solution today for this issue but I can't find anything useful anywhere .
Last night I received another update via OTA 151115 and proceed to install it as the earlier ones didn't work. Surprisingly this one worked and after restart my phone didn't had any trace of google apps on it, try to install google play, framework and so but the phone says it's not compatible with google (Big time). Then I went to the bootloader to perform a wipe/erase everything and here's when the problem began, it was stuck in the screen that says optimising applications (the one before starting the setup) and after half an hour unattended the phone restart itself one after another, like in a loop.... From this point on, I haven't been able to power on the device anymore.
It was bought through a third party seller from China, already contacted them and waiting for an answer...
Any clue about what can I do to use my phone again?
Update: I can see the oppo logo after pressing volume up plus power buttons for around 15 seconds but it shows for less than a second the screen it appears when it's updating the software and then it switches itself off... Is this a sign of possible recovery in some way?
just downloaded the last 151115 official update from the oppo community forum but I've got a problem. I can not enter the fasboot or recovery mode because the phone is like trying to install something and it constantly switches itself off... The day this happened, I had two files in my root directory, one was the few update and the other was a full Google thing in the same format than the fw file, I'm afraid I selected the wrong one and that's why the phone went crazy. I guess if there's some way to cancel that attempt to update the wrong file or reset that thing in some way, I'd be able to start over but I can't find anything grgrgr
By the way, the last ota update allowed google maps to work flawlessly and also Instagram, two of my biggest concerns with the phone
I'm even trying to contact oppo service to send the thing and sort it out that way xx
Cheers
Pedro
I've just contacted Oppo Customer Service in Europe to see if they have any solution for my problem as I can't make this thing to start and the battery also doesn't seems to be charging though... No response for the moment, just an automated one confirming the reception of my enquiry
Should I start thinking about my lovely new phone as my new paper weight?

No, no you have a chance to save your phone. If you have to R7 plus M Oppo Chinese version, I can help you. I also had this problem, but he was able to solve it. My Skype: ed_mobstyle.
Hi mate, thanks for the answers. Yes it is the China mobile version "M" I don't have Skype I'm afraid grgrgr
Cheers

I was able to fix this problem fairly easily.
First I entered recovery (press Power + Volume Down when the phone is booting up)
Then from the device menu I installed a ROM, you want to download the version you last used. (MAKE SURE IT IS FOR THE OPPO R7 PLUS M)
After installing the stock rom, it will go into installation and have you set up your phone.
After you installed the ROM, download OPPO tools v 1.6.5
Open Oppo Tools and root your phone this will take a few minutes.
After you have rooted your device open Oppo Tools again and select Unlock Google Mobile Services (this too me two weeks to figure out).
Let the phone restart, after it is finished, you should have basic google functionalities (Playstore and Frameworks).
Now since you are rooted, it means that your phone will not download any further OTAs and you will have to install them as ROMs, you can do so by repeating the above process, but I'm not sure of the functionality of Oppo Tools past the most current version.
I cant post links to provide you to where the ROM files and Oppo Tools are at this moment
The roms will be located on the "[ROM][STOCK] Official R7 Plus Roms | R7Plus, R7PlusF, R7PlusM [15 Sep 2015]" of Oppo Fourms
The Oppo Tools will be located when you google "OPPO Tools apk" on your computer and it will take you to the thai version of Oppo Fourms follow the link there to download the apk
Hi mate, thanks for your answer but my problems is that I can't enter the recovery mode cause the phone try to install something and then it switches itself off
I've tried to connect the phone to my laptops and sometimes they recognised it as Qhsub something and I can't find anywhere this driver. Then all the softwares I've got ask me for a scatter file which I don't have....
Also trying to contact support from the brand. For now just send them my data and the phone's imei and now waiting for the magic response... They are excessively slow in their answers!
Thanks so much anyway
Cheers

Still at the same point mate! The thing keeps on trying to install something and switches itself off. My windows laptop runs on win10, the other is a Mac so I guess useless for this matters... The battery runs out faster than ever even being off. Disaster! Lol

Hi mate, my problem is that my computer detects the phone as qhsusb_bulk and I've tried every single file I found with that name and nothing changes, well, the device name from unknown to com1, com2... up to com13 I have seen.... Other thing is that I can't enter the fastboot mode or recovery mode neither. I wish I had an oppo service near home but I live in Uk, now I'm trying to get service from oppostyle and waiting for an answer. To be honest with you, I'm really annoyed with all this, never had a problem with bricked androids or iphones until I met this "guy" lol
Cheers
Pedro
I'm really sorry dude I hope I can help you as I did for mine it was quit simple with the same driver problems,so try to uninstall all drivers you have for oppo and install the one I shared with you taken from my ohone directly that the only way you can give any commands to your phone to switch to fastboot mode even if the problem still present
when I try to install the driver on my win10 laptop it says this...
Using an old win7 laptop I managed to install the bloody Qhsub driver and now the phone appears in the com ports under the name Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) does this means the phone really doesn't exist?
Update to this thread, I can't do anything until I find a proper driver for the phone which actually is recognised by my laptop as Qhsub_bulk and I can't bloody find this anywhere at least for making 6795 processors or specifically for this model...
Any clue?

Chuwi vi8 android boot loop

hello
so last time i wanted to install that "touch fix" for my Chuwi vi8, after a reboot my tablet wasn't able to boot anymore, it just won't stop to reboot, i can still boot to Windows with lock+up volume + home button, i can also go in the stock recovery mode, yes i already tried factory reset and it didn't worked, how can i fix it ?
i can also get clockwork mode but i just have error closed... i installed all the drivers i was able to found but no one fixed the "error closed" when using sideload, also i don't know WHERE IS THE STOCK ROM...
I have this www needrom com download chuwi-vi8-dual-os
"file is too big" so i format in NTFS but then the tablet won't recognize it, and seems like it's the WINDOWS ROM i don't need the WINDOWS ROM I JUST NEED THE STOCK ANDROID ROM
i've been trying to fix this since MONTHS, tried yesterday, it took my whole day today and yesterday STILL NOTHING.
i reposted this here beacause i think i wasn't in the good category sorry i'm new
IF someone can REALLY HELP ME, do i'll have to PAY SOMEONE to fix my tablet ??? Like really, i already posted this in december no one answered me...
Ok, so it can't be fixed, great ! Thanks ! XDA brokes my device and won't repair it....

[Completed] Will someone actually help with this

Okay so, My friend has a samsung galaxy s5 neo and he gave it to his daughter who is quite young. She set up her own gmail etc on it and he later had to factory reset the phone.
Upon starting it up, he obviously ran into the "please log in with the origional gmail account to verify identity." the only problem is his child cant remember the details at all.
So, he has handed his phone to me to fix as i have a bit of experience with this sort of stuff however I have a couple of problems.
First and foremost usb debugging and oem unlock allowed are not ticked whatsoever and because i cant access the phone i cant get them on. I'm pretty stumped on what to do now, i've tried several things
like flashing different stock roms on via odin etc...
i've tried getting different apks to open when i put in he usb, i have tried to disconnect my internet whenever the "just a sec" part comes up.
The only thing i can think of now would be to get a custom recovery on and flash a custom rom. But because i don't have the oem thing and debugging on odin wont flash twrp because i get the frp lock issue.
If anybody can offer me any advice on things you think i can do to help me please do, i appreciate it a lot.​
