[Q] Can't unlock bootloader anymore - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried to update my i9023 to ICS with a OTA update. It starts unpacking the firmware but somewhere it stops and gives a triangle with an exclamation mark. Tried to reboot but then its stuck on the google logo. I can acces the bootloader but when i try to unlock the bootloader to flash a other rom or CWM the phone hangs on the 'unlock bootloader' screen(where to choose yes or no)
Any solution to this problem???

I've got exactly the same problem. Restored to stock. It said there was an OTA update, I applied it. It tried to reboot and I'm stuck there. Can't boot into anything, stays at google logo indefinitely(greater than 24 hours) or I can go to the bootloader screen, recovery takes me to the triangle/exclamation and if I hit the power button then it'll reboot to the boot loop. If I try to unlock the bootloader with fastboot(Mac and Windows) it'll get to the yes/no screen, I choose no it bootloops, I choose yes it freezes indefinitely. What'd I do wrong? More importantly, how do I fix it?

Stuck in a boot loop

I'm pretty sure I flashed a rom without wiping device and Im stuck on splash screen loop. I get into bootloader and it automatically goes into hboot and trys to load an update. When I choose no, it reboots phone again. How can I get into recovery again?
Update: So I let it update the 98*.zip file I believe and now I lost root lol. But I'm back, to get root back do I go through steps 2-3 of the hack kit?

[Q] Razor HD XT925 won't boot please help

My brother has the Razor HD XT925 and he tried to install Beats Audio and now his phone is all messed up. It just loads up and says "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" Then it gives you an option to start and just reboots the phone and does the same thing again.
Tried to do the facoty reset from the bootloader menu but it didn't work
The phone was already rooted so we went and unlocked the bootloader on the motorola website and it now says its unlocked so i tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery from fastboot and it seemed to work but when i reboot into the bootloader menu and select recovery i get a little picture of a android robot on its back with ! mark above him for about 5 min then the phone reboots and its back to the Unfortunately, System UI has stopped again.
So i tired to install TWRP Recovery and it looked to install fine but but when i reboot into the bootloader menu and select recovery i get the same little picture of a android robot on its back with ! mark above him for about 5 min then the phone reboots and its back to the Unfortunately, System UI has stopped again.
I don't know what to do now, can anyone help me or is the phone toast ?

find the stock file for your area here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ and use rsd to flash it back to stock. use search or google to find a tutorial if you need it.
Thanks so much that worked.
Also, after you flash a recovery, you need to immediately reboot back into recovery so the script completes. If you don't boot back into recovery and reboot the OS, the stock recovery will re-install itself.

[Q] Rooted, bad recovery, and stuck in bootloop

I scoured the forums, but have not been able to find out what I can do to solve my problem. So here it is.
I rooted my phone (to play around with some settings, what have you) and flashed TWRP recovery onto it. I got an error msg when booting up, so I decided to push an original recovery back onto the phone, because it wouldn't go to TWRP. I followed a guide (which I can't find now) to push back a stock version of recovery and it failed. My phone would boot normally just fine, but when I tried to go to recovery it would loop.
The OTA update came today, and dumbass me pressed continue (not thinking) and now I am stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get out of it.
Cannot get into recovery.
Cannot get into download mode.
Got any ideas?
Thanks
Same Problem
I have pretty much the same problem. Please help!
well without recovery/download mode working or the phone being in fastboot mode there really isn't much that can be done, you can always try to claim on warranty
boot loop
So, let me get this straight. If it failed when you tried to install the stock recovery, then you still have the TWRP recovery right?
I ran into a boot loop problem earlier when I tried upgrading TWRP. I just couldn't access my recovery so here is what I tried:
Code:
Turn your phone off.
Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
Let go of both buttons
Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
Try the steps above and see if you can get into a recovery. Once you do maybe try resetting. Hope that helps.

[Q] Is my internal storage damaged?

My Nexus 5 suddenly stopped working. It was on stock. Never experimented anything.
Now it doesn't boot. always stuck in boot animation.
Tried to wipe data/ factory reset in stock recovery, but it never completes. after 2-3 minutes screen start to blink. same to wipe cache. Red Exclamation Android logo continuously appears and disappears.
Tried unlocking bootloader, shows success, but doesn't boot.
and, if i again go to fastboot mode, bootloader is again locked.
So, is my storage really damaged?

That's a bad sign. Sound like you are correct in your assessment.

Stuck on "Your Device is Booting Now...." screen

I've been following somboons' guide to root. The first time my phone went into TWRP, I tried to root, but it gave an error saying device not found so I reboot the device. I tried it again, but this time, it's stuck on that screen. I can't even turn off the phone. Any help?
You can't get into recovery right? And.. You have flashed recovery?
Actually, I can enter fastboot. When i try to get into recovery mode, I get into a screen that says "Huawei eRecovery". There's a button that says "Download latest version and recovery", should I do that?
EDIT: Rebooted the system from eRecovery, everything's OK somehow.
