[Q] Nexus S stuck in Boot loop - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
sorry for my post, but i'm devastated and can't find anything
I flashed my Nexus S, I9023, with the new ICS update from the Google servers
and now it is stuck in a constant boot loop
Going into fastboot and choosing recovery doesn't help
I can only see a lying Android with a red triangle and then nothing happens
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks

you will need to do do a full wipe. then install as install from sd card and locate the update file.

Hi, any luck with this issue?! I'm having exactly the same problem

You could try flashing the recovery through fastboot or even wipe the device and flash the ROM through fastboot.

Thanks... At the end I wasn't even able to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Found a guide on how to force my way into Clockwork Mod, and tried to load a ROM - without success...
I ended up leaving my phone on boot the whole night, and sure enough, it was working in the morning. Mind you, I've had it booting or more than half an hour before, and nothing happened.
So personally, I don't have an explanation why it works all of a sudden.
My suggestion is, leave it booting overnight and "hope for the best" - it worked for me.

I'm not sure if this would work for you or not. If you turn the phone off, and then hold volume up and push the power button (hold both) until you get to the bootloader interface. If you can get there, you should be able to install the clockwork recovery and put on a custom rom. But on the other hand, if you did nothing to it in the first place, maybe you should take it back and get a new one?

[Q] Help Help Phone keeps getting in clockwork recovery mode

HI ALL,
i have unrooted my phone and then i,ve updated my phone but i forgot to remove clockworkmodrecovery now when i reboot my phone it keeps getting in recovery mode
Is there anyone who can help me?
I have the exact same problem!
I've tried restoring a backup, rebooting the phone, turning it off, install update from sdcard, formatting cache...
None to any avail. Please help!
I've tried about every option now, I've even tried downloading a ROM and flashing it to the phone. It still boots into Clockworkmod.
Can I throw my phone in the trash now?
Edit:
I don't have windows XP, so nope to unbricking your O3D guide.
Sdcard
I can only put the rom at my external sdcard i don know how to put someting in the internal flash
I've now tried flashing KingDroid.

People care but if they don't have an answer for you it's not much they can do, tried pulling the battery I guess and using CWM to reset battery data and reseting to factory defaults etc?
People arent answering because there is already a guide on the forum explaining exactly how to fix this.

I have tried about every single option in the CWM menus, and I've tried pulling the battery at random times.
None of them worked.
I'm now going to remove Arch Linux from my PC to make room for windows XP. Sorry for my previous outrage.
Next time remove CWM from your phone before updating...
I just installed windows XP and followed the guide to the letter. I am now stuck with the firmware update screen. How do I get rid of this?
Flash rom
I,ve managed to flash the rom with the original v10D but itÅ› still booting in clockwork recovery mode pfffff
These phones really are hard to unbrick.
Tell me please how to exit Rekaveri. Reloading and pulling the battery does not helps, it means everything? brick?

If you're stuck at the "updating firmware" screen like me, you're simply ****ed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197108
use LG vip service.
I just called them, they said they'd "assess" my situation and that they'd call me back to tell me whether they'll replace it...
restore
Hi,
I have managed to restore a backup image but he is still booting in clockwork recovery what am i forgetting ????
Sincerely Snellie1972
Recover
I have recovered the phone with clockwork recovery with stock file
Optimus 3D 10D pre-rooted CWM restore but still it goes in too clockwork recovery at boot
What am i doing wrong ????
Thanks in advance
snellie1972
Unfortunately I was also able to get passed the clockwork screen but the phone is stuck on the update just like anybody else. I contacted the store where I bought it from and they sent me a prepaid box already to send it to them for repair/replacement.
As everyone says, at the moment it's not possible to recover from that state, sorry snellie.
If you still get the clockwork, then just follow these instructions but even so, you wont get passed the software update screen.
Flash
I have managed to flash using first de KDZ tool from LG en after that i have used te LGMOBILE update tool and just put in my imei and serial and it was downloading and restoring my phone so far so good but when it was Finished without any error it is still haging on update software ...
I don't understand why it is not going any further
Greetz
snellie1972
It's almost as if this firmware update screen is fake and an indicator for LG to see you ****ed your phone up.
Is there any known hacker even working on this?

[Q] Bricked an LG P505

How do I unbrick an LG P505? I rooted it, deleted a bunch of apps that I never used and when I deleted Nuance something or other it kept giving me an error telling me it had stopped working (apparently it was running on the background) and I couldn't get it to shut up so I shut off the phone. When I turned it back on again it was stuck on the android logo.
I've tried hard reset, but it gave me an error right after the LG setup thing and now whenever I try it again it gets stuck on the android logo screen again.
Any help?

Are you having custom recovery or stock one? And what error did you get when you tried to start recovery
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
I didn't get to install custom recovery. Right now I managed to get to the fastboot mode screen, but I'm not sure that's gonna help in any way...
How do I start recovery?

To start recovery hold volume down +home+power until it comes if recovery starts means u are not bricked but if you are getting fastboot error means your mobile is bricked to unbrick follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046 and be sure to see every page of the thread for problems that may occur while doing it and their solutions
It works with p500 but I don't know about p509...

just go to this threat, Read the first post and then download the file form the first post. After that flash new recovery. And do not forget to read the first post there
good luck
Haha, I just had the exact same problem (one thread above, or now rather below). This seems to come from flashing a custom ROM on the stock boot loader. To fix the problem I just flashed everything again (bootloader-things, TWRP, official Android 4 from xball via LG Flash tool). I'm not quite sure if EVERYTHING is necessary to flash or just the ROM via LG Flash Tool, but what I got when flashing my personal ROM over it again is "security error"...

wrong forum man do you read title
Hello everybody I have some problems with my smartphone sensation Htc XL with beats Audio X315es . I try recently to change my Rom because my battery was defective. When I charge it the level of the battery stops in 28 % and it is the stop. I try with other original batteries(drum kits), but without any success. It is the first problem. The second is that since I began the stages of the boot loader the telephone, when I connect him(it) to the computer goes direct in mode(fashion) fastboot and maintaining the freed boot loader it always persists and it is not the mode normal recovery of Htc but rom manager NB:it is with Roma manager that I fell in love my telephone. Think of having you solutions for it if yes I wait for your answers thank you in advance.

Soft/Hard Bricked N5 For No Reason

Hi,
this is my first topic and post so don't blame . On last Friday (05.31.2014) I was at school but it was free day so i was enjoying my 1 month old N5. I was using Elix-R rom with kernel included in this ROM. When I was sitting on Google Play my phone did soft reboot but bootanimation was ''scratching'' and bugging. I had decided to do a restore but i was done in 14 second so i knew something went wrong. When I tried to reboot my phone was stuck on google logo and it was rebooting to the same state over and over again (after about 10 seconds). When I came home i tried to flash stock rom's images but i got the same result. oh, and I forgot. When i was restoring, TWRP boot again but it was still restoring. I had some CM zips so i flashed them but it didnt help either. After flashing stock i had tried to access stock recovery but i got same result as before(Google logo). Some time ago I read about temporary booting recovery so i tried it but i didn't help. On Saturday I boot up phone again and i saw stock rom's bootanimation ''scratching'' and loading again as before after ''soft reboot'' on Friday. Now I've locked and re-unlocked bootloader again but i forgot about typing ''fastboot reboot'' in cmd. I've just clicked Power button on N5 and small android with loading bar appeared but after several seconds it stopped and booted again. I accessed the bootloader again and flashed stock images. Then locked/unlocked again and my phone is not booting and i cant access any recovery.
I really dont know what to do. I haven't modified my kernel or something. I haven't done anything bad - I was just surfing the internet and downloading apps from GP. I hope you'll understand all because I'm sure my English is not good enough. Thank you guys for help already

Well then you should be fine. If your bootloader is still unlocked flash a custom recovery via fast boot then flash a ROM/gapps/su.
