For starters, if there is already an answer to this question, please point me in the right direction because I have looked all over the forums and cannot find an answer. I was wondering if anyone could help me return my Nexus S 4G back to stock. I was in the middle of using one click stock when my power went out and now my phone just sits at the bootloader saying "fastboot mode-no boot or recovery img" and one click stock does not work.; meaning, it will sit and ask me to put the phone into debugging mode. I have also tried manually flashing the files from fastboot but it sits at sending file but does not flash. Even let it sit at the sending screen for 3 hours but it never flashed.
Maybe a brick. The same thing happened to me once, no img's, fastboot not working and a broken power button. I just got it back from a free repair

Well, is your bootloader locked/unlocked? and try to do it manually with fastboot, at least you know that things are done correctly.
unlock bootloader is : fastboot oem unlock
lock is: fastboot oem lock
you could try to switch once and try to push the recovery image so you can flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help. I relocked and unlocked the bootloader and it did the trick. I was able to manually flash everything back to the phone
Glad I could be of help

Hey I'm in need of some serious help. My power button no longer works. It's as thought the phone thinks its constantly being held down. (Put battery in phone boots up by itself). I'm pretty comfortable with flashing roms etc and I need to get the bootloader locked for my warranty. I've tried multiple ways (I've done it in the past for friends). The 'fastboot oem lock' in fastboot via cmd doesnt work. It appears to be due to the power button being held down. It wont progress any further. It is not physically jammed (trust me ive tried fidgeting with it lemme tell you). I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Have you tried taking the phone apart to see what could be holding the power sours down?

I thought about it but it appears perfect. Looks and feels like it normally does. That's why at first I thought it was software related. Nope alas it was not. I tried pulling it with tweasers and there is no response at all
Same thing happened to me and I sent it in for warranty with the bootloader unlocked. Samsung fixed it and no charge.

Thanks for the replies. It's impossible to relock in this state! I did manage to unroot and install a stock rom so at least it's gonna look somewhat legit when I bring it in. Going to the Samsung repair center tomorrow (there is one not far from me so I dont need to send it). I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!
So I went in today to the Samsung repair center and 2 hours later my Nexus is good as new . Pretty classy of them. That's really good service. They didnt even question the unlocked bootloader and it was covered by the warranty. This makes me want to stick with Samsung. When my Nexus One power button died it took like 4 weeks to get it back
Does anyone know how to force my Nexus s into recovery? Its stuck in boot screen
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
I have an entirely different issue but it involves me sending in my phone to samsung with an unlocked bootloader. My phone won't boot past the google screen and I can't relock the boot loader via adb. I've already sent the phone but didn't mention anything about it being rooted when I called customer service. Think there's a good chance they'll fix it no questions asked?

In CMD if you have adb installed type "adb reboot bootloader"
It will get you to fastboot and then select recovery. Or you can just hold the volume up and power on the phone (I'm assuming that doesnt work)

Hey guys,
I hope I'm not missing something obvious because I spent the last 2 hours searching for a solution.
Today I decided to unlock and root my Motorola Xoom 3G (EU-version, stock-android 4.x).
I unlocked it using fastboot and flashed the CWM recovery. But when I try to enter the recovery menu by pressing volume down when the Motorola logo apperas, it just says "Reading ODM fuse: 1". After that, it shows me a picture with an red exclamation mark.
I have no idea what to do now. Since I have no ADB access, I'm not able to do a "adb reboot bootloader" to flash CWM again.
Do you guys have any clue what's the matter? Thanks in advance

im assuming your xoom still boots up? if so youll still be able to get adb to work, just try flashing cwm again , you can also get fastboot working by turning the xoom on once you see the motorola logo count to 3 then press volume up and itll start fastboot protocol support
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Right, I forgot. It still boots up but I can't get through the lockscreen. There's a message saying "device not ready. please enter a valid sim card".
right unfortunately i cant help with regards to sim card error as i own the wifi only model but someone a bit more knowledge able will see this and may have the answer
have you tried putting a sim card in? what does it say if you put one in?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Alright, I didn't mind the branding. With a T-Mobile card, I am able to enter the PIN and use the Xoom as usual.
Before I really mess up, can you tell me what to do next? Unfortunately, I don't have a micro sd card here so I am not able to do the "Universal Xoom Root" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241 ).
ok so youve unlocked the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Yup, unlocked it is.
ok next step is to push recovery via adb have you tried doing that again?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
recovery via ADB? I tried the CWM recovery image via fastboot last time ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 ).
yea you connect your xoom to pc let it connect etc etc, then open a command prompt in same folder where your adb files are located then type
adb reboot bootloader
once rebooted into bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery ( name of recovery here)
make sure youve downloaded the recovery image and not the zip file
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Alright I did everything, no errors. But when I boot into the recovery, I still get "Reading ODM fuse: 1" and the exclamation mark...
try a different recovery perhaps? theres a few on here ill see if i can find one i used and post link
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Yes I already thought of using the recovery of Team Rogue but it comes as a zip file, so I can't flash it, right?
cant flash it without entering recovery, im not sure what cauaing the problem , when you hold the power button and you get shutdown reboot etc if you press reboot do you get a second set of option ?? reboot,recovery bootloader etc?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
You mean pressing the power button in normal usage, on the homescreen? I only get to decide whether I want to shut down the device or not. But this wasn't different before I started "flashing".
aah ok must be the rom im on thats got it , im not really sure where to go from here maybe do a factory reset and try again youve unlocked your bootloader though so dnt need to do that again
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Same error with a factory reset... damn whats going on?
i honestly domt know i never had any probs doing mine and i asked my friendmwho has same xoom as you and he never had any trouble so kinda got me stumped lol
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Guess I'll have to wait until someones bringing the big hint But I really thank you for your time. Since I know now that my device isn't completely bricked, you helped me a lot.

Are you able to boot to the bootloader screen?
If so do you have access to fastboot?
I can't do anything
The only thing I can do is enter to apx mode ,

Did you flash or update anything before this happened?
I was doing a wipe data and ThE tablet closed . when I turn it on it was bricked
Some time ago I user ThE Asus tool forma unlocked ThE device
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Was this the wipe data icon in the bootloader screen/menu?
If so this is a know way to cause a bricked device and sorry but I have not seen any solution to this.
Yew is ThE data wipe on bootloader menu....

Sorry I am not able to help you more here and am not familiar with apx commands but think this is only for use with NVFlash files, I could be wrong here.
If you did the NVlash backup on an ICS bootloader prior to the brick then you should be able to recover this way, but if not then with out being able to get to the bootloader screen and fastboot or adb then I'm not sure apart from sending to asus for repair sorry.
So if you hold vol- & power you don't get anything? no bootloader screen?

Hi,
I got a Nexus 5 about 40 days back. The phone randomly switched off a few times. I performed a factory reset as suggested by the Google Support team and other forum posts here. Yesterday, the phone switched off. On going into the bootloader, I am able to view the different options. On selecting recovery mode, it just goes to a blank screen.
The phone is not rooted.
Please help me out.

Thanks for helping me out,
I did the steps as mentioned in the guide, but ran into a problem while unlocking the bootloader.
After entering the command, "fastboot oem unlock" the bootloader gets unlocked.
But on entering the next command, "fastboot reboot" it goes back to unlocked state.
How do I proceed?
thanks again
you said it went from unlocked to unlocked? did you mean goes back to locked?

So i have a big problem, i acidentally downloaded the wrong kernel for my Nexus 5 (acidenttly got the nexus 4 versionb of Hells-core instead of the N5 version.) and flashed it, Now my phone wont boot nor can i access recovery or the bootloader. BUT when i plug it into my computer it tries to install drivers but fails because it cant find them, So im pretty sure its not a paper weight. Im running windows xp and was using carbon. If ANYONE can help please let me know.

i managed to get it into recovery as well as fastboot. but now when i try to do my recovery backup it causes the same error i was having i.e it would be detected by my laptop but i cant see anything. i may have to do a complete factory restore and see what happenes. Its kinda sad my GF with really NO android experience helped me get it into bootloader WHICH for anyone that has an issue similar to mine where your PC detects your device but you cant see anything on the screen hold down both up and down + power to get into bootloader. if it doesnt work at first hold down down + power (while its still connected to your pc so you can hear it feject) as soon as you hear the eject noise press and up down+up+power and you will be in bootloader
This guy had the same problem

He dd'd his messed up partition back. I guess it's the bootloader that was overwritten but you can dd the secondary bootloader to the primary bootloader partition and it'd fix it hopefully.
