[Q] Nexus S won't start anymore. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm in big trouble right now.
I have a Google Nexus S GT-i9023 (GSM used in french network).
I tried some ROMs (CM, oxygen) then a decided to go back to stock ROM.
To do this, I followed this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062801
I didn't even notice the BIG MESSAGE about phone version... I'm an idiot.
Not I get stuck with my phone which don't wan't to start, even on bootloader (Vol +, Power button).
I get a black screen with some buttons turned on (the "search" one, and sometome the "menu" one) as u can see on this photo

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sometime, when I try to power on the phone while connected via USB on my computer, I can send some commands with CMD.exe and fastboot.exe but I cannot "fastboot oem unlock" it.
Please, does anyone can help me? I spend hours searching on Internet.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Ju

Where the hell is the ENTER and FUNCTION (ALT) buttons on the SCH-M480???

Im trying to flash my phone via instructions I've read in this forums, and for a phone of the same make as mine (but different model # because different country) which is the the Samsung SGH-i780. The keys are basically identical, and other people on the forums have done this flash, but how they got past flashing step 8 I havent the foggiest. It says:
(8) Switch on the phone while holding the ENTER and FUNCTION buttons (ALT BUTTON)
(9) After the system DETECT message appears, connect the phone via USB to your PC
Where are those buttons?? I would assume it would be the half white and half black half white button (alt/function) and the normal enter curved down then left arrow key (enter). You can see the keypad here:

}
But I've tried it dozens of times and I get no such msg or nothing out of the ordinary. I've tried other button combinations also but to no avail. Please, someone, anyone, any ideas??? I desperately need to flash this phone, thanks!

have you tried to search...?
The buttom rom always help me out in this situation:
- see here under: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367171&highlight=bootloader under post #2 and following
- determine from the the IPL/SPL if you have a G3/G4 device: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions
- when upgraded the button rom successfully follow the 'how to flash a new rom to your wizard'-stiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
in any case, there are many people how had the same problem, so it is never a bad idea to use the search button first if you have any more questions or don't know further!
im sorry to say that it did not work =/
is there anything else that can be done?
ok now my phone has started up after i flashed it...
can someone help me find the cingular 2.25 software?? please?
it works now
thank you very much...
mod or admin can delete this post if they wish

Hi, since the device can boot to the Samsung screen it's not hard bricked. This means it can be recovered. I would recommend downloading the stock ROM for the device from a site such as sammobile.com and then flashing it to the phone by putting it into download mode and using Odin to flash the firmware to the device.
Hope I could help and good luck unbricking your device
Hi, first i thank you for your reply, the problem is i cannot make the phone in the download mode with power down + home + power. i think may be i must use USB JIG and see if it works.
plz tell me samsung who file add samsung A500h/DS same problem my cell

Pls help me, i really love this rom. Its the best rom for xperia TX now.
Turn off your screen filter, that's a security feature Android has had for years, nothing to do with the rom. You can't install an apk while having a screen filter on.
