[SOLVED] Really "bricked" Nexus S after bad update

So official ics update! i was happy! I restored a 2.3.6 backup with cwm and applyed the official zip. But on reboot.. nothing, zero splashscreens, not even google logo. Now if i press power button the screen turn on but it keeps blank and there are no vibrations.. if i release power button then the screen turns off..
Is my nexus s (i9023) in a known state?
Plz help me!
Edit: after some plug/unplug/push/detach ecc i got this nexus s connected to my pc: windows 7 says: "samsung sec s5pc110 test b/d"
i'm googling..
SOLVED!
Big huge thanks to Adam!
Follow his tips here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20382688&postcount=16
I had to use a standard linux box, ubuntu virtualizend on vmware fusion didn't work.
With Adam tool you can get both download and recovery mode depending on what hardkey you press (both vol or only vol up) during resurrection.
You are in download mode if search and home softkeys are on
You are in recovery mode if back and menu softkeys are on
You can try the way of recovery mode (with fastboot), for me (i9023) fastboot did not recognize the device.
Download mode solution
After resurrection you'll get a nice download mode (search and home button on and others off, not viceversa).
Now run a virtualized windows (or restart your pc if you have dualboot) and use odin to restore your device (bootloader radio system) to a stock rom like 2.3.3.
Why a virutalized windows or dual boot? Cause if you unplug the device you lose download mode.
Quick how to for odin:
You need samsung drivers installed
Files for european i9023 nexus s: http://www.multiupload.com/A6OP3TFN0I
Googling it seems that they are good also for i9020 amoled nexus s (i'm not responsable about that!)
I used odin v 1.83 (only this version worked for me) on windows. Order of files in odin:
- Bootloader > Bootloader_I9023XXKA3.tar.md5
- PDA > PDA_SOJU_GRI54_TMO_EUR_MR1_SIGNED.tar.md5
- PHONE > MODEM_I9023XXKB3_REV_00_CL912571_SIGNED.tar.md5
- CSC > DGS_I9023_EUR.tar
This doesn't solve all problems: at this step i can turn my device on only using a usb powered cable. You need to apply cwm and restore your backup.
So:
Enter recovery mode: plug usb cable (battery appears now!) push vol up and power on.
Apply cwm as usual:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork.img

Click to collapse
and enter recovery mode using device interface.
Restore your backup and reboot. Wait for a long boot (need caching all your apps) and it's done!

Can you boot into bootloader mode (hold down power + vol-up)?

No i can't, screen turns on and off at the pressure of the power button but no way to enter bootloader or recovery mode..

Hey, same thing with me.
When I plug it into the computer, it comes up as SEC S5PC110 Test B/D.
fastboot can't see it, so i can't fastboot it into bootloader. Any help?

I got nexus firmware running on a captivate.. might just work on a nexus too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247962
I would like a nexus to work with. If someone wants to send me a device, I can locate UnBrickable mod and update my resurrector

The upgrade is only for T-Mobile Nexus S (I-9020T), nither I-9020A nor I-9023!

can you upgrade if you're running 2.3.6 I9020XXKF1
it is a tmo version

Same here. Installed from 2.3.6 and now it won't turn on.

Someone send me a device. Send me a pm. I have a recovery option and I can make your device UnBrickable.

I already did.. I sent the link.
However, I just finished rewriting the UnBrickable Resurrector for this device.
YOU MUST BE RUNNING A DEBIAN BASED LINUX.
Instructions:
Verify you are running the latest version of Java http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Download UnBrickable Resurrector Revision 37
Right click the app and run with Java
Select "S5PC110 (Nexus S)" From the drop-down list in the app.
Plug in your device
Click resurrect.
Use fastboot to reload software
Let me know if it works
This worked on my Captivate which was in the same mode.

Holy crap people. I don't post this **** for my health. Read my post above and stop sending me PMs.

Managed to get my Nexus S bricked a few hours ago with the ICS update, been spending hours trying to get it working again.
The resurrector has managed to get my device up and running to the Google logo and the padlock screen, now I just need to fix the rest!

Yeah, and be sure that you used the .tar file in Odin to flash.
Not the .zip file - anyway, if it takes long time then try to wait for it.
(Try CM7, this should work on flashing [never had troubles with it])

[Q] Samsung infuse cannot get into download mode, and bricked

If you can get to the SAMSUNG logo you can get to download mode, are you sure you're doing it right?

Make sure you are holding the volume buttons as you plug it in and out the battery back in. Also, try a different usb cable or a different usb port on the computer. Sometimes that's all it is. I thought mine was broken bc I couldn't get download mode and then couldn't get the computer to read it but really all I had to do was hold the volume buttons and switch to a different usb port.

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!

excellent! and if the power button is stuck and let him yesterday when I left work without the battery and when you return in the morning and went back to get quickly rekindled, when you get home you have to hand screwdrivers do, many thank you! then comment as I was :good:

Two things can be wrong here. Power button or bad USB port. I replaced my power button that fixed only part of the problem. Can be imei problem. I'd put it into download mode flash back to stock. If problem persist you can rule out software n proceed to hardware. A way to test the power button is if you were able to boot into recovery.
One way to get it to boot up IF IF IF its not a power button problem
Slide out battery..... Slide battery back in ... right after you put the battery in plug in your USB charging cable(you have to do it pretty quick).... You should get a green recharging battery logo.... While this logo is up continuously press the power button...
Sometimes its just a bad/faulty or dirty USB port. Its a bit difficult to solder a new button thats that's why its best to make sure its the button. I'm talking from experience. you can clean the button.. I read some thread where people would just drop the phone purposely to get the button unstuck.
If not don't worry power button are pretty cheap on eBay as well as ports.

well ... Yesterday I opened the phone according to the video tutorial that I spend @amritn as seen in the image.
but when I do what you tell me to put the battery and place the USB cable quickly becomes thus passes this black screen, and press the power button nothing happens.
So if I saw this other tutorial yesterday and when I opened the phone yesterday I did the last step, I opened it and review only the shell of the phone does not have the button stuck and do not touch the equipment itself, not if I have to prove with doing what it says here in whole or proceed to restore the imei .... I say?
sorry for my bad English that comes thanks to google translator

reviewing found this video out there that is exactly what happens to the phone I have, just that I have that piece that put the end of the video that makes it ends in download mode

then ... that means the problem is if the power button?

If that exactly the same things happen in video, Then i'm afraid to say it's power button failure.
Or if u can go normally to download mode using volume up+ volume down and inserting usb cable when the phone is power of
go to my second process from heimdal one click and restoring efs. This may solve your problem if it's software related.
