the phone does nothing how do i know if it 100% chared and if it charge?

is this the solution?

Just pressing volume up and down won't get you into download mode. You need to apply a usb cable as well.
Maybe that is why your NS stays black.

Doen't work
i also tried to just hold volume up and on button
and hope that is go into fastboot ( only not on the screen )
but that doesn't work either
hope that er is someone out there who can help me

Hi,
You have a bricked bootloader and JTAG is the only answer in this scenario. That is my video you posted and I'd be happy to take care of this for you. Just PM me if you have any other questions.

you have to power off ur phone first.
1) power off ur phone or just remove battery and put it back in ( ur phone should not be plugged either)
2) hold vol up and vol down
3) press the power button and keep your fingers on the vol up and vol down until u enter download mode
4) plus the cable now
5) reflash bootloader through odin

That's why i could kill myself at the moment:O i din't look twice when i flash a zip
but i wanted to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.2 ( because i can overclock to 1.6 )
the flash was succesful ( 100% ) i did go back and reboot
and from then the screen stays black
( this is really hard i suck in english xD )
update! : i think it was one of these that i flasht, But i dont really now
353e267378cd.signed-soju-GRH78C-from-GRH78.353e2673.zip
but sofar i now is that the stock update ?

The zip in question, does it weigh around 12-14 megs by any chance? Not the typical 85 for a full ROM?
These are "patch" zips that contain only new files and patches for modified files and partitions instead of full files. They're supposed to be flashed strictly on the ROM they were meant for, normally a completely stock ROM of a specific build number. (I'm not aware of any ROM maker out there, other than Google, providing this kind of zip update.)
Good luck,
Darkshado

I heard some people have broken power button where the power button is always in the "enabled" state, and that will cause volume buttons to not work. I wonder if you have the same issue though, if thats the case you will have to either replace the power button or send it to Samsung.
I don't have the Nexus S right now, but have to tried the command: adb reboot recovery. Also I thought you can boot directly into recovery by power + volume up.

If your power button is broken you are stuck there on that screen.
Does the phone boot up into the os? If so reboot into recovery from the os. If you flashed a ROM I assume its rooted. Can use any app that allows booting into recovery ( quickboot goomanger ROM manager ROM toolbox etc) or in terminal type such and hit enter. Then type reboot recovery and hit enter.

the problem is the i did a flash a rom and now the rom dont boot up or anything and i did a back up but i cant use the buttons to make a selection to get into recovery over the fast boot as i show in the picture!
the only way i get into the fastboot is holding the volume up and connect the usb into the port and them get into the fast boot screen but no more from there

That's what I figured. At that point you are pretty much screwed,
You need to get the power button to work / unstick so you can fastboot in order to do anything.

Hi there. Have you figure a solution. I ran into the EXACT SAME ****ty situation and samsung says they have no fix no parts for it!

Samsung can fix it if you send it. The solution is to get your power button repaired. There's nothing else to really do.

Unless they got the part, then it's a no. Every so said "solution" ends up failing, you're just pushing a bit the date. Only replacing it really works.

i have temp fix
this is what i did may be you can fix it like this
i take off the battery out,
place back
Hold down volume and power
now connect the usb cable from the pc
keep holding the buttons we dont need to go into bootloader, if you can see the lower lights on you okay
now check the usb icon in your computer and if your computer recognize you are cool
Now before i have this problem i did a back up of my rom and i install touch recovery
now you have to see your options and if you have the twr recovery even better since you can transfer files over your phone while in recovery mod
okay i did install this toolkit
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
and since my computer recognize the usb and my nexus phone
i did get into reboot recovery mode in the advanced utilities you can figure out the rest since i dont know much!
since i did a back up i just restored and i did flash another rom which let you wake up the phone by the volume key
so i transfer the rom files and flash then while on recovery mode try installing the goomanager to get into recovery since this means your power button dont work
this is the rom
CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 14 Hybrid Mix ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
if you have luck flashing this rom
just go into CyberGR-MOD in the setting section and select lockscreen options and check volume wake
now to lock the phone just install any app from play store like Lock Screen Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget
and remember if you battery dies, just connect it into charger or usb cord and the phone ll boot again
Hope this help some of you who have this problem
thanks and any question i ll check later!

Bricked AT&T Fusion 2 u8665

K title says it all so whats happening at this moment
- i cannot get it to the recovery by holding Volume up + Power
- i can get it to fastboot
i have tried fastbooting multiple things to try and get it to work but im STUCK i finally got the phone rooted after several of days hunting
When i power on the phone it stays at the AT&T logo if someone could help me i would be very appreciative i use my phone constantly even though im probably gonna buy a Galaxy S2 or HTC sensation i would like to fix this just so i have the knowledge thanks :good:

Anybody know what to do so i can fix my phone

There is no way to unbrick this device yet. Another member and I are working on a solution, but we do not know how long it will take us to do so. I have bricked my phone, but I returned it, and got a replacement for it.
How did you brick your phone?
And if you can boot into fastboot, you can install a modified stock recovery, so you can boot into recovery, but it won't really do anything.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lm11rrn3z5c2j6v/Huawei-Fusion-2-Recovery-Root.zip

Like Robotic said... not YET for the general public because I am a bit worried about the threats within the code & config file comments by AT&T.
More or less "don't touch this or feds will bash your door in"
YOU CAN BOOT CLOCKWORK by booting recovery img via USB. You just can't flash it to the phone yet for some unknown reason.

K thank you guys keep me informed please when i boot this in fastboot will the phone turn on?? or what?

Oh and im not sure exactly how i bricked it my phone it died one night then when i turned it on it was just stuck at the att sign
and i can fastboot into it ive been trying to load diff recoverys on it but nothing worked ill try that when i get my phone back from my cousins house keep me posted on any updates

Check out Q2&3.

If you haven't fixed it you can fastboot flash the cwm and then flash my cm7.2 and it should work

Hi, just asking.
Hi everyone in this temple of wisdom, first of all forgive my write english (Im latin) so, if you find my sentences hard to understand.. that´s the reason.
I have a Huawei Fusion U-8665 from AT&T, 3 days ago I try to root it using this app:

I read the instructions step by step and when a push the button "Unloock BOOTLOADER" the app call ADB SHELL in CMD and wrote a lot of command to try unlock the phone. The problem was after that, my smartphone wont boot!! just turn on with logo of AT&T and 3 seconds later turn off, and keep looping ON---Off---On---Off.
I already try:
Power and Vol +
Power and Vol -
Power and Vol + and Vol - (When I did it, devices stop Looping and show a purpple screen, but yet cannot use adb shell from my laptop)
I already have a driver installed en my laptop, but devices is not found when I try: "adb shell" in CMD. Just show "error devices not found"
Im noob in this world, all my experiencie has been root and install custom rom in htc glacier MYT 4G, if anyone can help me I really apreciate that.

That's for the Chinese g300

Never Bricked...
Hello,
So first off.. You can't brick the device because it has a hardware function that allows limited functionality. Most devices have this safety feature. For the Mobile Android System it's called "fastboot". (Sorry if this is redundant to you) To boot into fastboot there is a button combination for each family. The generic method I think all of the have in common is.. If you take out the battery and hold the "Vol UP" or "Vol DN" while you plug the device into your computer it should default to fastboot. Otherwise if that doesn't work do the same thing but hold the "Power + Vol DN" you have to hold it for about 15 seconds. This android model doesn't have a splash screen for fastboot, so all you will see is the AT&T Logo. It should stay there.. Verify the connectivity with the fastboot command, " fastboot devices" (via the cmd prompt and sdk tools from Google.) At this point you can flash a new Recovery, Boot, or System. Once you flash a recovery you'll be able to install your Rom via RecoveryManager.
PS
If the device still will not boot after the recovery flash.. look into flashing the boot system.
-Dont Be An Idiot.. Eddie it!

[Q] Soft brick and no ROM?

Looks like I have soft brick and no ROM.
I have rooted Samsung GT-S7562 Galaxy S Duos, and I wanted to falsh a PMP_U500_GT-S7562.zip ROM.
I managed to install CWM using Odin.
Then I obtained ROM manager from Play Store, and restarted to a recovery mode (before the restart I was asked wither to wipe -- I said yes, do it). On restart I've chosen PMP_U500_GT-S7562.zip on sdcard and pressed install. It did something, and restarted to a screen with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark.
The only thing that works -- is Vol+ Home Power combination -- it brings me to a ARM9 mode RAMDUMP mode. If during this I plug the phone to windows kies tries to connect to it, but never seems to succed, and Odin sees the phone.
I tried to put recovery.tar the same way I did when installing CWM. The proccess seems eternal.
Any ideas on what I may try to do with odin? Since odin seems the only thing which can get to my phone now.
I also tried OneClick.jar to no success on Windows and on Linux.

Your key combo is wrong, recovery is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Duos/GT-S7562#Recovery_Mode
But anyway since your phone is borked, I would advise an ODIN reflash. Get the proper ROM image for your device and flash it in download mode.
See here: http://www.idroidspace.com/original-stock-rom-for-galaxy-s-duos-gt-s7562/
Best of luck and do take care while doin an ODIN flash, a wrong step and you are gonna end up with an expensive paperweight.

Oh I solved it.
Get into a download mode
Remove batary for a moment. Then install it, press VolDown+Power+Home for some 5 seconds, then press VolUp. After this connect phone to PC (with Kies installed).
Odin (version 1.85) in the PDA field choose stock_recovery.tar file.
This will reboot Your phone. Get into the download mode again. This time in the PDA field choose [StockRom].tar.md5
This will reboot phone to a working state. Try to flash a custom rom in a week or something.

[Help Wanted] [Bricked] Accidentally Flashed Factory Image for Pixel 4a (5G)

I mistakenly downloaded and attempted to flash the latest factory image for a Pixel 4 (5G) to my Pixel 4a.
My phone is now stuck on a black screen and I'm unable to boot into the bootloader so that I can flash the correct factory image.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of holding power + volume keys, but nothing seems to work.
The device does some to be on in some fashion as when I plug it into my computer windows alerts me that it's setting up a USB device.

Running adb devices and fastboot devices yields no results.
As such the flash-all script included with the factory image doesn't do anything.
I also tried using the "Android Flash Tool" https://flash.android.com/welcome provided by Google, but this also doesn't detect my device.
Are there any other steps I can take to unbrick my phone or is an RMA the only option.
Thanks

I think you're SOL. I did the same thing with my phone and had to send it back to google for a refurb.

Haha I did the same, don't worry .
I got out of this mess using Android flash tool,
When u plug in the phone hold the volume down button down .....
It might take a while, but it WILL detect the device.
When u pick the rom to flash , in the option to edit make sure to click on wipe , and force partitions.
Good luck

adb and fastboot drivers you must install . Unpack adb and fastboot files to installer , and after unpack tools you can run flashing . Other way don't exist.

Are you supposed to have the phone on or off when you plug in the phone with Vol down button down?
But my phone has black screen... how do I tell if the phone is on or off.

Hold power button & volume down at the same time for fastboot screen.
