Brick after reboot ? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there,
yesterday i've flashed an JB rom, it works very well, i install all my stuff and sygic from the play store .
when i try to download additional data for sygic, the image on the screen doubled, like a screenshot on the active screen with 2 or 3 pixels on the right .
so i pull out battery and pull it in and try to reboot, but nothing, not even a light on screen or on softkeys.
and i noticed if i leave the battery in it, the phone become warm in 5 minutes, like it was running .
does anyone have a clue to save this one ?
sorry for my english, i'm french

Damn... this is like 5 bricks within a week that I know of. Nexus S are dropping like flies.

Try some of the following:
-Leave the battery out for a few hours, press the power button a few times before putting the battery back in and then try to boot
-Adam's Unbrickable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393)

first, thanks for your reply guys,
so, does you mean battery is dead or something ?
and i try unbrickable software, but device is not detected, so i ask its developers to have information about the hardware mod, still no answer .
or maybe i do something bad trying to use this tool ?

This sounds a lot like what happened to my NS earlier this week. Here's a link to my post about what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844034
I originally thought it was a battery problem, but my wife and I both have a NS so I tried her battery in mine and it still didn't work. Also, my battery worked fine in hers.

yeah, i've seen your post early today while searching solutions.
does anyone know how to use the unbrickable tool ? in his post, the dev says something and in the software says something else !?!

i finally apply the hardware mod on my own, use the unbrickable tool , but now, i have search and home key lighted so what to do next on linux ?

When you switch it on, Can you get the device into the bootloader?
Remove the battery (if you know that you had fastboot enabled) and then power on the device while holding the "volume down" button, what happens, does this work?
Daft question: but are you sure that there is any power in the battery? best to plug it into the mains charger just in case.
Hi !!
Thanks for the reply..
I have put my phone on charging but nothing happens when i press the power button.. Nothing happens even when i try to hold the volume down+power.. I was just updating some apps like google goggles, maps etc.. but i have installed nothing from outside.. pls help...

Strange one....
Just to establish base facts, I'm guessing that your phone was still running the ROM that you bought it with? and that you didn't root it and haven't made if S-OFF recently?
So ultimately you should still have a valid warranty? and if needed will at least be able to return it for service?
ya my phone is under warranty and i have not rooted it or applied any kind of mod whatsoever,, have done nothing other than few market apps..
its not responding at all...
will take it to service center tomorrow.. thanks...

Your problem sounds similar to this problem which also appeared to be caused by the market downloads and was discovered to be caused by a faulty eMMC chip, although with the users problem his phone would turn on - unlike yours...
Thanks it all seems so technical,, MY phone is not showing any sign of booting ,, not even a flash of light,,, i think it might be hard bricked d/t some hardware crash.. lets c what the service centre people say..
Wish you the best of luck with them

BRICKED after deleting a file !!! HELP PLEASE...

Ok, so I had recently flashed MIUI sense based, I realized it wasn't for me so I restored my backup of TrickDroid 6.1. After doing this I went through and decided to delete some some stuff because my space was getting low (not 5mb low, more like maybe 1/2gb), I went to delete the MIUI v4 2.7.6 file and the phone appeared to go into standby... I tried to wake it up again with no luck. Plugging it into a charger does nothing, no red light; no green light. I'm unable to get into bootloader mode, no matter how long I hold down the "down volume + power" combo or any variation of it.
I need one of the gurus to help please !!!!
maybe post this in general or q&a?
any adb connection? if it's in standby then you may be able to move along to the next step
could just be a SOD (sleep of death)

Did u try hold the power? It'll reboot?then hold volume down about 10s.it should go to bootloader
2nd Option: use all-in-one tool kit.it has a command to reboot.
And don't post question or help here.read the rule.

Sorry about posting in this section, I assumed I'd get a quicker response.
I tried the All-In-One Kit thing... doesn't work "error: device not found"
I cannot get the phone to power on at all, no bootloader, no splash screen, nothing recognized by my pc. I get a "QHUSB_DLOAD NO DRIVER FOUND"
Thoughts?

If it can't boot or use adb command.i think u should contact with HTC for helps,or at least where u buy the mobile. And of couse u still have Warranty.
It may be a hardware problem.We here can only try if it is a software problem.at ur position,the device can't be recognized by Computer/Laptop (before this,it worked well right?),then i think bad luck.
Don't be despair, it'll have some way to solve.

Sorry to tell you man the same thing just happened to me. I just got a replacement from T-Mobile. You will not get that thing back on. Just call T-Mobile and tell them it won't power on nor will it charge. It's funny because I was adding music to mine when it happened. If it happened the same way mine did then you will notice it was really hot when it shut off. The MDJ kernel overheated the Processor and killed it. Once that happens the device is a useless brick. I'm trading my replacement for another phone because this phone happens to overheat a lot.

Thanks everyone for the help... At least I know what I have going on... Already started re-downloading a buttload of stuff to get back on track. I don't normally backup my Nandroids or my TB files to my PC, maybe I should start.
Going tomorrow to the Tmo store to get the replacement sent overnight.
Thanks again.

[SOLVED] Phone restarts regularly on every rom

Hi everyone, my desire s is acting strange since few days back.. it keeps on restarting for no reason. At first I thought its due to kernel updates to modified kernel 3. But then I installed reaper gingerbread. It restarted when I opened camera.
Then I installed Nik's project x . Still same problem sometimes when I open camera or other heavy application.
It restarts continuously 5-6 times without completely booting and battery drains to 10-15% from 80-90% within 5 minutes..
I've not got this problem when in charging mode..
I'm now using ice_ds 4.3
If anyone have same problem before , is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance..

I get this too on all custom ROMS.. sometimes if I knock the phone a certain way it resets.. so it must be hardware related.
Can you let me know what your 'SOLUTION' is? All I see if the cause. Thx

my solution: buy new battery :laugh:
Put a bit of paper between the battery and the holder clip, that fixed it for me to keep the battery in place.

My battery fix/bodge

I have an o3d that has a battery percentage problem it displays what it wants when it wants. Such as 70% one minute an 5 mins later its gone to 0% and shut down making it useless unless on charge. It is not a bad battery as i have 7 various batterys that work fine in my other o3d. I have tried the battery calibration apps which delete battery stats .bin and big surprise it did nothing. So i used link to sd to freeze power off
.apk and now my phone stays turned on even when at 0%! This does cause a couple of problems though such as going through usual shutdown precedure only reboots phone (i dont mind though this is handy to reboot). If you reboot whilst percentage is low it wont restart without inserting charger. Phone can still be turned off by holding power button for approx 10 seconds. The worst problem is when 0% is reached the status bar usually force closes (which is a real pain using android without status bar). And camera and a few apps wont work as battery is always low but at least i can use phone. I have learnt so much from xda so i thaught i would share this in case it can help someone. Please share if this was helpfull and if you have any tips on how to fix errors caused by this.

And also if anyone knows what may be causing my problem in the first place any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already tried a re flash of standard rom and a couple of different custom gb roms. And a custom kernal. I am currently trying to work out how to flash ics to try and fix this properly. I do not know how this problem first occured as i brought this phone off ebay second hand. The problem first occured when this phone was unlocked so i was told. I did notice that even though it was sold as o3d and the sticker on the back confirmed this, that it said p925 in about phone not p920. Not sure if this is related. So again if you have an un-usable phone i hope the above can help you out. And thanks again to anybody that could help fix this once and for all.
