[Q] Seems that I bricked my phone

Hi guys!
I installed OpenSensation ROM for my Sensation from this thread. Everything was good, several times I rebooted my phone, after this I installed and configured my apps and rebooted phone again, but instead of reboot phone shut down and doesnt turn on, no bootloader, no recovery, no red light when charging. Any idea what it is?
Hope you could help me on this. Sorry for my english. Thanks.

Have you tried taking out the battery and reinserting it? When connected to the computer do you get any message?

Yes I tried, but nothing has changed. When I first time connected to the computer I get message that driver was no found.

You are bricked. There is a thread in the dev section that might be able to help.

Yes it should. However when I tried to do it my computer couldn't read the SD

This is easier since they doubled all paid storage last night. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with 275GB.

Boot stops at 'Google', can't mout sdcard in cwm

Hi,
since this morning I have this problem that my Nexus S just boots until the Google logo appears.
I have no idea what caused this. I was just reinstalling the youtube app and rebooted after that and it booted.
Then I noticed that my phone would not change the screen orientation and because it worked in the past I started another reboot. But then it got stuck at the Google logo.
To solve this problem I just wanted to flash my nandroid backup but that didn't work as well cause the recovery was not able to mount the sdcard.
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? By the way is it possible to pull the Nandroid backup from the phone to my computer with ADB for example. Would be great because (of course) I just have an backup on my phone... (but if not... well, **** happens)
Thanks in advance!

Go to mounts and storage in CWM Recovery and "mount usb storage". That will let you get to your SD card to backup. Then I suggest just a clean wipe and start over.
Note: mount /sdcard just mounts it to the phone. You are wanting to mount it to your computer to pull the files off the external.

Yup thank you. Already tried that and a lot of other stuff. Seems like my phone's broken. I can't write on or erase /system or /sdcard. I'll try today to lock the bootloader and then unlock it. Maybe that solves the problem...

It will also wipe everything if I remember well

It's interesting and maybe fortuite that this is happening to you just as something almost equal happens to me (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972447 ) You should also enter the recovery via adb from your computer if you have it, and check if a) you have mmc* files in /dev/block and b) have mmc error messages in dmesg (in the phone: "dmesg|grep mmc" and look for lines with "error" in them).
Btw to the person who suggested flashing stock thorough fastboot, do you mean stock system, system+boot or system+boot+recovery ? and where could I find those stock .img please? Mine's an i9020a

Hi ^^
I had the same problem with my Nexus S a long time ago and never found out how to solve it. It seems that the internal memory is corrupted and nothing but replacing the motherboard can solve it. Since I bought mine in the USA but I live in Belgium I never got mine repaired. Sometimes I come back here to see if there is still no solution but each time I'm disappointed...
Sorry.

I can confirm this. I had the same thing happen to my Nexus S 4G recently. I was never able to salvage any data off the sdcard no matter what I tried (various mounting attempts in recovery, any adb command I thought might be helpful, etc.). As a last resort I tried to lock/unlock the bootloader - once I locked it, I was unable to unlock it again, it just froze up after asking me if I was sure I wanted to unlock. I guess that's what happens when the internal sdcard goes to hell. I ended up taking it to my local Sprint store and they replaced the phone with a refurbished one from Samsung (for approximately $35).

[Q] Nexus 5 Flash Write Failure

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and on Saturday it suddenly froze and when I restarted the phone it was stuck on a boot loop. I tried to go into my TWRP recovery and it asked for a password and it says that the internal storage is 0 MB. I have tried to flash stock rom using fastboot manually and it keeps saying (remote: flash write failure). Will someone please help me on this? I can't figure out what to do.
Thank You

sounds like your internel memory went bad. youll need to replace it.

Try to flash back only cache.img.

yes. if you bought it through google, they will generally replace rooted phones especially if its a hardware issue(has nothing to do with root). and if its not google, they wont boot it up anyways(i dont think).

Trouble with Mb865. Need your help !

Hello, everyone. I've got a trouble with my at&t atrix 2. I've cm10 onboard and when I tried to flash another rom on it I found that nothing changes. Reading similar problem threads I realized that the problem is in NAND, which is in R/O mode. And every change in internal storage restores after the phone reboot. Does anyone have a solution for this ? Plz help.

The problem is probably in NAND-flash. It is in read-only mode because of an error, I guess. So I can noy boot into BMM recovery. Maybee it will be easier to replace mainboard from anoter A2 ?
