i bought my phone from a shop called cex here in the uk i enjoyed my nexus i9020 till the power button stopped working i got it exchanged for a i9023 but the phone does not boot up and is stuck on the google part of the boot up where the lock is if your unlock the bootloader. normally i have to boot it though adb which is a hassle is there anyway to fix this ?
I donot know how to fix it completely but it is probably because you don't have any software or system on the phone which is whta happened to my brother's phone. I recommend getting help tto install an android system update manually (google search) and install it using recovery, install from sd card and choose the android system file zip.
Good Luck!

Try entering the fastboot mode by pressing and holding both Vol up and power button once there .. scroll down to recovery with volume down and press the power button on recovery ... once u see the triangle with exclamation mark in center... press but not hold power and volume up (might take a few tries)...once in recovery see if the phone has a Restore on it... if it does.. you are one lucky S.O.B lol

Since he can't boot Android there's only one (two if you count Odin) option.
unlock bootloader via fastboot.
flash cwm recovery from bootloader menu with adb.
format everything with cwm recovery.
download any rom for your device, eg the stock one from the sticky in general section.
mount usb storage (remember to mount /sdcard first).
copy rom onto storage, unmount storage, install zip from sdcard. done.

He doesn't have to flash cwm. He could just flash the stock rom via fastboot.

I was using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 to unlock, install CWM, and then root. Unlocking was fine, installing that version of CWM seemed okay, but when I enter command "fastboot reboot", then hold down the volume - button after 3 seconds of the Moto logo showing, then pressing the volume + key, I get only 1 option....-->Android Recovery. I press the Volume + key, get "Entering Android Recovery Mode", and below that "Reading ODM Fuse 1", then the screen switches to an android with a yellow hazard sign in his tummy.
From that screen, if I press Volume + and power, I see:
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't get a choice to apply something from the microSD card I have installed with the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip I put on the card.
Has anyone had this happen? I can't ask in the development forum. I also just got the Xoom back from a repair, and it was wiped to stock, then I did the 3.1 update when I got it back this morning. Is the fuse thing something they may have done to block rooting?
Have you tried reformat your sd card?

I reformatted my sd card, but I still can't get CWM to work and boot into recovery. Same message-

Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And that's it....no options to load the root zip from an SD card or anything. Is there a way to push root without using the SD card? Or is that ODM fuse thing making it impossible?

Nothing at all to do with CWM.
OP: Try flashing the recovery again. To get into recovery, type adb reboot recovery, or use an app such as Quick Boot.
Edit: You can't use CWM to root, you need to do that first.

I have to root first? I'm not sure how to do it....can't find any other methods of rooting 3.1....everything on Google just points me to the same method, using the SD card that won't work cuz I can't boot into recovery. Ugh.
Hey jump hour PM me.
Hey guys,
I called JumpHour and we tried to troubleshoot this over the phone. We aren't able to get into the recovery because of error "reading odm fuse: 1". The OP is using Windows 7 64 BIT and has the SDK installed properly. He updated the sources and installed them so those are up to date. We also verified that USB debugging was enabled and that the correct files were in the tools section in the SDK folder.
We ran the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot-recovery ........ (we typed it in correctly accoriding the thread)
fastboot reboot
and we get that error message.
This was all initiated while the Xoom was powered on. JumpHour stated that he had to send his Xoom back to Moto because his Xoom got messed up during the re-locking process when he unrooted a one click root and re-locked.
We then went ahead and downloaded the recovery image again and replace the one in the tools folder. We ran the commands again and we were getting the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this process? Are we missing something? Is something broken?
Get the official images. I am assuming you have a USA 3g or wifi model.
Follow the steps to return the device to stock. But do not issue the reclock bootloader command. There is no need to relock.
From there power up the device and turn on USB debugging.
Then adb reboot into recovery. That should bring you to the stock recovery.
If all goes well from here just do what ever else you where intending to do in the first place.
You most likely can just flash the stock recovery but I would just do a full flash back to official images minus relocking bootloader.

Then let the ota update it to 3.1 and so on.

What's the status JumpHour? Did you get it to work. I told you it may have been due to the images. Hopefully that fixes your issue. Take care dude.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm gonna try it now. I was up REALLY late last night, and just got up a little while ago. I'll definately respond after I try it out.
Finally, I did it!
Okay, I fixed it finally. Reloaded the stock images, and it's now rooted with SD support. Yay! Only took 2 days!
Thanks for all your help guys.
Can reflashing with original images fix recovery mode mount problem?
Does any window is flashing to the original images can restore access to the sdcard IF the recovery mode in the official recovery mode (not CWM) says that you cannot mount the sdcard?
Hi
I`m a noob needing some help. I recently got my Nexus S (i9020T). I have not rooted my phone or modifyed it in any way.
2 times I have had the update notifyer telling meg that there is a system update available(currently runing 2.3.4)
When accepting the update the phone gets stuck on the Google screen. Nothing happens for a long time. Both times I have ended up pulling the battery and the phone starts up again without problem.
I tried once pressing the "volum up" and "power" buttons and using the recovery option(after puting the updatefile og the root of the phone in usb-mode). The same thing happens.
Anybody have a solution for me. Need a fix as I do want the ICS update when it releases.

If the phone works then there is no need to send back. Google online "Download 2.3.6 update for T-Mobile" . a website should have it . The file should be 96 MBs long. Download astro file manager because u don't really need the PC to update ur phone... once the update is downloaded just find the file in astro / downloads / ... press and hold on the update and rename to update.zip ... then press and hold again and move to Root of SD ... turn off phone and boot into recovery and install update from zip

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
I have tried this solution. When booting into recovery the phone stops at the Google screen and nothing happens. Have left i alone for up tp 2 hours without anything happening. It's not responding at all. Having to pull the battery to start it up again.
Did you try to reset the phone to factory-reset before updating?
Just tried to. It gets stuck at the Google screen yet again.
thats not good
Now you can do 2 things :
1. Send the phone back to samsung to repair/update
or
2. Root the phone and then reset it back to stock and try again.
If you decide to root your phone, you have to
unlock the bootloader (everything will be wiped)
install custom recovery (ClockWork)
install root
install the rommanager-app from market
download the stock 2.3 from the RomManager (includes stock recovery)
try to update over OTA again
and if it works you can relock the bootloader
this works for my nexus s i9023 ... i hope that this works also on your i9020T, but im not sure
Do you have a link to a walk thru? I've tried some "oneclick roots" but they all gets stuck at "device not found"

then you can try it manualy :
download superuser @ http://bit.ly/su2361ef and put it on your sdcard
adb reboot bootloader (the phone should go into fastboot)
download cwm @ http://www.mediafire.com/?xdpvcxiybcrzte5 (5023-green.img)
fastboot boot path-to/5023-green.img
now the recovery should start on the phone
in the recovery choose install zip from sd and look for the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and install it.
after that just enter "adb reboot" and your phone should start rooted.
now you can install rommanager over the market and look for an stock-image to revert back and retry to update it OTA.
Try install clockworkmod into your phone.
1. Boot into fastboot mode.
2. Install phone driver.
2.a. Get driver frome some where (try googling PDANET Nexus S driver (for your series)).
2.b. Install & enable adb and fastbott (googling too, there is some tutorial in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=881).
2.c. unlock bootloader.
2.d. flash clockworkmod.
3. Boot into clockwork mode recovery (in fastboot mode choose recovery).
4. Mount your USB driver.
5. Download stock ROM for your phone.
6. Wipe data, caches, and dalvik caches.
7. Install from SDCard, choose your stock rom zip.
8. Restart phone.
7. Optional -> lock your bootloader (the same way as unlocking bootloader, but change unlock to lock).

You need to flash the boot.img of the ROM that is why the device will not boot into the OS. You can either use fastboot commands or flash 4 EXT Recovery and use the Smart Flash in it. Download this PG58IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, you can put his SD card in your Sensation and download the file to the SD card. Jusgt make sure you move it to the root of the SD card. Then put the SD card in his Sensation and power the device on holding the volume down button down. When Hboot comes up it will detect the file and ask you if you want to flash it, press the volume up button and let it flash. Then take the SD card out of the device and press the power button to reboot the device. Next put the SD card with the ROM in the device and select recovery. When 4 EXT Recovery boots up select tools and then enable Smart Flash and then go back to the main menu and select install from sdcard thenn select choose zip fromsdcard and then select the ROM. Press yes and let the ROM flash and then reboot the device. It will flash the boot.img when it reboots and then reboot again and you should have a working device again.
I dont have a rom on the phone...that I know of...where can i get the stock one at?...really confused here, also i did the above file Pg58img and it said cid incorrect..update fail...where can i get the 4ext recovery?..ty so much!!!!!
I did some searching and found that the 4ext is an apk...cant use that as I have no useable phone....
I fixed it, had to push the correct firmware to phone, and installed ext4 recovery, and it worked fine...thanks for the help

Hello
That's the guide i followed, I run the bat file put it into fast USB mode. It copies the file and I see a small progress bar on the hand set then it says completed successfully. When I try to put it into recovery it just boots as normal and yes I am highlighting the recovery bit in the menu the hitting the power button to select it.
put phone into fastboot mode (you know how already)
use adb command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once successfully sent to phone, shut down phone then try again to access recovery (hold vol - and press power button once, scroll down to recovery) hope it helps

If you're having difficulty flashing recovery, you can easily do it with ROM Manager.
All you've to do is downloading ROM Manager from Play Store, open it and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, follow the steps, wait and you're done. PS, your phone must be rooted before using ROM Manager. It will flash latest version CWM Recovery available for your device.
Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped you.
*Modify*
Sorry I read it later that your phone is not rooted yet. So you can first install superuser.apk by flashing superuser.zip from inbuilt recovery(you'll find the way in rooting tutorial) and then follow the above mentioned steps.

If your using a sense ROM, it doesn't fully shut down on power off. You have to take out the battery and put it back in before holding power and volume down to boot into recovery. If you can't get into the recovery, reflash it.

This was the method given in the rooting tutorial:
After unlocking bootloader,
Copy SuperUser.Zip file into SD-Card and then turn OFF your HTC Explorer (Take Out Your Battery > Place it Again). Then Press & Hold Volume DOWN + Power key to get into Bootloader.
Then Select Fastboot with Vol Keys and Press Power Key > When You are in fastboot connect your HTC Explorer to PC Via USB Cable
Extract Recovery.zip file anywhere on your pc and run the Recovery.bat file, wait a moment and you are done.
Now, after running the Recovery.bat file and successfully completing the above step press Power Key to get back into Bootloader:
Using Vol Keys > Select Recovery,
Wait until this Recovery screen is shown (It Could be in blue colour or any other colour):
Using Vol Keys Select Install zip from sdcard and Press Power Key > Then Choose Zip From SD-card and Press Power Key and finally select the Superuser.zip file using Vol Keys and Press Power Key.
And when it shows Install complete or something, you've successfully rooted your device.
From above method you've managed to install a temp. recovery from that recovery.bat but you need a recovery you can access without connecting it to PC but with bootloader.
After it, reboot back. Install application ROM Manager from Play Store. Open it when installed, grant superuser permission(just select yes when a pop-up appears. It asks root permission). Now follow the steps I told you before. You can do rest of the things easily.
However you can install a custom ROM(upgrade your android version) only by unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery. But as your warranty is already void now, root your phone and enjoy all features around.
Like you can install link2sd from Play Store. It can forcefully move any app to sd-card. So your memory problem is out.
Yes, now don't forget to hit 'Thanks' or you would not succeed.
Cracked and damaged screen, no picture and will not read finger touches. trying to mount it as disk drive to copy internal sd stuff, pics, music, saved files etc but obviously when i plug in the usb and choose the connection type. Things were much easier when I could just pull out the card and put it into a reader
Any suggestions would help, thanks
Try flashing a non touch version of CWM in bootloader by forcing a reboot by holding down power, and when the screen goes off hold volume down as well.
Then put a non touch CWM into your working folder. Flash it in fastboot USB by using the command
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Then go into recovery by selecting it in the bootloader and use volume keys and power buttons to navigate recovery.

You can download clockworkmod (CWM) from their website (I can't post the link) or by searching the forum. Detailed instructions on how to install CWM can be found on the forum or by searching Google. This is a fairly complex process for those who are not familiar with modding Android. Take your time and search the forum for answers. Once installed, CWM will allow you to mount the sdcard.
Note that this will require you to make heavy modifications to your phone which may brick the device if done incorrectly. Do so at your own risk.
