Key combo to get into recovery doesn't work. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so since I got my ns4g a couple months ago.
The key combo has never worked...
I had to use either rom manager or advanced command to get into recovery.
Since I first flashed aosp ICS rom.
And Koushiks, adb stopped working... I'm still able to mount USB mass storage and move files.
But no adb and no key combo???
I'm kinda getting worried now.
I'm a chronic flasher and am fearing potential brickage due to this.
I'm a pretty advanced user but in no way more than that.
So I can't self diagnose this one.
I've searched a bit and so far haven't seen a reason or fix.
Oh and I'm currently on tsm pool party rom and apocalypse talon kernel.

I would go back to complete stock and see if problem persists. If so, send it in for repairs.

I am not sure how it could not work if your power and volume up button work.
Use quickboot or terminal emulator.

Edit. Whelps I'm an idiot... it worked.. thanks. I'm gonna go slap my self a few more times... just always had devices where the combo was v-down+power so I assumed and made an ass of just me. Lol thanks.

All's well that ends well

Finally! An xda member admits that they are really an idiot and a thread doesn't break down into a flame war! It was a good day.

Lmao! Yeah! I always admit when I do something stupid.
And this. Proves how dumb I can be at times.
Now just to figure out why my adb doesn't find my fone. Maybe my Mac will adb command. It always does. Ill check.

[Q] Can't figure this out

OK... i consider myself a fairly tech savvy guy but I'm having a problem with something and i hope you all can help.
I just updated mine and my girlfriends Mesmerize to 2.2 mine is rooted and hers' is not. Now for whats stumping me.... she took two screenshots without the aid of any screenshot apps or widgets. iI can't figure out how she did it.

Support for the tb? I'm a new tb owner coming from the incredible. I'd rather root it that way than adb. Plus i have a mac. Adb is too labor intensive for me. Last time I tried rooting with adb was with my Eris and that was a headache.

It's not going to happen. The rooting and S-OFF method is too complex and REQUIRES user intervention. No software is going to do that.

That's just ignorant and/or elitist. So someone not already familiar or comfortable with setting up/using ADB shouldn't be able to benefit from rooting? My father doesn't know anything about how Linux or Android work, should I have told him to just deal with the bloatware, etc.? Don't be such an ass.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I dont think he meant that to be mean but its true if you don't have the slightest understanding of what your doing to your phone when you root it you are setting yourself up to mess something up. I'm way new to this and I spent hours and hours over two weeks reading everything I could find so I knew what was going on. And when I went through the process I was comfortable and when I couldn't get the custom firmware to flash I had the knowledge to figure out my silly mistake without freaking out or messing up my phone. But bottom line if you aren't willing to educate yourself enough to be comfortable with the things you said then no you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

In short, folks who root yet don't understand rudimentary things like adb are the same ones who are 100% reliant on others to fix their device when they break it.
Or, they perpetrate a fraud and dump it on Verizon.

It's because there's not a hell of a lot of benefit given that it's not 2.2.3, or 2.3.... it doesn't add a whole lot of functionality, and the phone isn't missing much to begin with to make it all that appealing in the weighing of potentially bricking the phone, haha
yeah pretty much. -sigh- i think ill stick to this for a whole.
i got a question when you all facotry reset you alls phone? do you go back and download one app at a time or do they all manually start to download again?
cuz whne i had my hd2 every time i would switch out roms apps would automatically restore

They're supposed to auto-restore, but I had to manually do them on this phone.
With my HTC (last phone) it stored the list on their Sense server and pushed them all back to me. Much easier with HTC, so I'm going to use my backup pro to save this time.
yeah i had to do it manually like 2 time already with diffrent phones. this is the only thing i hate bout it. my hd2 i would log in open the market and with in 10 minutes i was up and running.

Yeah, once you have stable apps, settings, location, etc, just do a backup with mybackup pro then restore with it... much easier than even the login thing, cause then mybackup also restores app data, accounts, emails, and sideloaded apps.

Being an e-thug won't get you anywhere here. You aren't hard coming in here, calling someone a *****, and making threats because nobody will give two ****s what you think/say. It is the internet and you aren't hard so knock that crap off. What he wrote is what EVERYONE gets told when they come here asking questions without reading. Just going to the development section, there are plenty of roms on the first three pages with the info you are looking for. Maybe reading is not your strong point but it would serve you well to RESEARCH before trying to be an asshole.
Try using titanium backup if you want to debloat.
Common sense is not so common I guess.
