Okay, so here it goes:
- Been trouble with "sudden loss of mobile network issue" for a month or so (ref: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mobile/android-devices/NCwPW3A_ibM http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14672 )
- So I flashed to 4.0.4 stock image from the google website, a. Everything worked so well, and I got my signal back. I followed these guides (http://floatingsun.net/articles/howto-flash-gsm-galaxy-nexus-to-google-factory-image-on-mac/ http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...ide-factory-image-restore-your-nexus-7-a.html) and they worked for me well (again).
- I wanted to lock and reunlock my bootloader again from fastboot. Locking process goes well. But when I tried to unlock my bootloader, after that yes/no screen my computer went dead. And my phone freezes on the bootloader. I pulled out the battery, and then put it in.
Magically, my phone booted by itself (without me touching the lock button). And the OS loads up seamlessly. Everything inside works well, except the power button. It's unable to put the device to sleep or even bringing the power menu. I rebooted several times via ADB, still no change.
- Maybe it's hardware problem, so I turned off my phone via ADB, and it's always turn on again right after. Then I tried to pull out the battery, and nope.... still turning back on. At one chance I pulled the battery, and immediately pressed the Power button and Vol Up, so it'll boot to bootloader. The bootloader boots that way.
- Yes, bootloader boots, but fastboot wouldn't recognize my phone. Plus I can't use the vol button and power button in the menu. It just freeze. typed "./fastboot devices" didn't give me any feedback. rebooting the bootloader via fastboot always prompt the < wait for device > endlessly.
- Upgraded to JB 4.1.1 OTA via software updater, no change on these 3 issue.
SUMMARY:
1) Power button not working, both in bootloader or in OS. But putting phone to bootloader by using power + vol button works, so I guess it's not hardware..
2) Bootloader freeze, fastboot works fishy. Cannot do anything here. (see above)
3) Everytime I turn off, it always turn back on.
I appreciate to those who read all above carefully. Thanks. I hope I can find answer.
SOLUTION(S) to try:
1) try sdk in windows at home. I'm using mac at the office. (I guess it's just the same) NOT WORKING
2) Try this tool at home (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672708) NOT WORKING
3) last and least; go to samsung repair service
DEVICE INFO:
i9023
IMEI ok
BASEBAND: i9023XXKF1
BL Version: i9020XXLC2
kernel: stock
Build Numb: JRO03E
Tried solution #1 and #2, still same response. On command prompt still displayed < waiting for device > endlessly :/
Any advice?
Broken power button. It's a hardware issue, not software. It's a known issue that when the power button breaks on the Nexus S it stays as "pressed" and you cannot scroll in bootloader and you cannot use fastboot.
What do you want to achieve anyway? Unlock your bootloader? Might I ask why you locked it in the first place?

I see... just found the culprit a few hours ago.
I wanted to restore it to factory default, following this guide.

Hi everybody,
my Nexus S power button is no longer working, it's unresponsive, when i turn the phone off removing the battery, and then put the battery back in, the phone turns on itself after a few seconds.
I tried to see if it was a software problem resetting the phone using a jig to go in download mode, flashing with odin and installing a gingerbread stock firmware, but the problem is still the same.
I would give it to the assistance center (the phone is still in warranty) but the bootloader is unlocked.
I can't lock back the bootloader, when i go to bootloader (using the command "adb reboot bootloader" since the button is not working) the bootloader loads but remains frozen, i can't move in menu using volume buttons and if i try with the command "fastboot devices" i just get the "waiting for devices" message.
Can you help me please?
I was having a problem with my computer recognizing my device. When I was in bootloader fastboot would not work, but found out that adb did when it shouldn't. It allowed me to reflash bootloader and then fastboot worked again. Also if your using win7/8 need the newest drivers there is actually two one for when the phone is in USB debugging to use ADB and another driver for bootloader to use fastboot, that could be another problem.
I have uninstalled all drivers, reinstalled the one for the adb interface loading the os normally and it works fine, but when i reboot in bootloader mode the device isn't recognized at all neither like unknown device in device manager so i can't reinstall the drivers and apparently can't have any kind of communication
Is there any way to lock the bootloader without using the fastboot command?
Just send it to samsung. I had the similar problem 2 weeks ago and they were able to fix the power button in less than 2 hours without touching the software.
Yeah i think i'll do that... Do you think they'll still acknowledge the warranty if they see that the bootloader is unlocked?

In my area samsung acknowledges as long as you have the official receipt, a warranty card, and the 1-yr warranty seal is still in-tact.
i too had the same problem. like others say it is the problem caused by power button stuck. But if you want to install stock rom or to get into fast boot mode try this.....!!
First, Remove your phone's battery to turn off your device,then re-insert your battery. According to your problem'the phone will automatically turn on. When the google logo appears, press the volume key down continuously till phone boots and show the desktop. The phone will enter to safe mode. Now try your power button. It would work....!!!!
Thanks.

hello..
I had the same problem of frozen fast boot and power button. But when I get my phone to safe mode, the phone starts responding.Why is that..please help me out....
Hi
I have been helping a friend repair their phone after it got water damaged
THe battery has been replaced and the phone boots and can go into Android
I have since Unlocked the bootloader
Installed TWRP
Rooted it
Installed a Cusom Rom
And installed a Custom Kernel with no issue.
So In my eyes this Phone is 100% working
The Problem i am stuck with is that whenever the phone is turned on it goes straight into the Bootloader screen and the Option bit on the top (Start, Recovery, Reboot BootLoader and Power off)
Constantly scrolls through each option as though the volume key is being pressed
if i press the power button as each option appears the phone will boot into the option i have chosen
While in Android all the buttons work correctly.
Vol up and Down and the power either going to sleep or bringing up the power menu.
Any ideas would be a great help
Probably HW related, but not sure

after 3 years did u find any solution. exactly same issue happen today :crying:
Try updating to the latest bootloader. But I assume the buttons get stuck sometimes. Try smacking the buttons s a couple of times. Hope that works.
Hi guys,
I currently have some issues with my beloved N5. I try to be as specific as I can (therefore the text will be a bit longer)
First things first: My device is experiencing the well known "stuck power button problem".
But I also do have problems which are not related to that one (at least thats what I believe).
Overview:
CM 13.1
ElementalX Kernel
TWRP on 3.0.20
Main issue: I can not start my phone regularly. When not plugged in, it just does not respond at all.
If it is plugged in I can get into the bootloader with only pressing Volume down (because the power button is stuck inside). Weird fact #1: in bootloader the power button should work to confirm a specific task like Start, or boot into recovery but it doesnt. Also: the phone is steady in the bootloader and does not keep rebooting.
Therefore I wanted to perform a backup (nandroid or at least all media) and reflash my ROM to see whether it is more of a software issue. I tried booting into TRWP which is not working (device shuts down after Google logo (might be because of the power button issue?).
I know that I can flash the recovery again through adb or the Nexus ToolKit but obviously I want to save my data first.
As far as I know there is no option as adb pull or through the recovery to save those only being in bootloader mode, am I right?
Question: Can I dirty flash without losing data? If thats not the cure, what else could help?
Other facts to know: while running
Code:
adb devices
I get that the
Code:
"adb server version (36) doesnt match this client (35): killing...
but then:
Code:
*daemon started successfully*
(same in Nexus Toolkit).
If I continue with
Code:
adb backup
it says: no devices / emulators found. Altough the nexus toolkit (and fastboot devices) say:
Code:
FASTBOOT: 03181238e07723e0 fastboot
If you made it until here thank you for reading :good: and I would be even more pleased if someone could help.
Best,
McRacoon
I have this problem to , i cant use my volume and power button in ROM / TWRP ,
I got lost, which data you want to save ?
fastboot flash boot recovery.img | fastboot reboot than gets you to recovery from where you can save data.
@Redchi: not really exactly my problem but if you can get into recovery you can use your touchscreen in TRWP?!
@icrunchbanger thanks for your reply.
I want to save all my data like videos, pictures, whatsapp chats etc.
I know how to flash the recovery (again). The question was whether I can save any data without a working recovery (just from the bootloader). Imo it is not possible but maybe you guys know how to do so.
If I reflash the recovery I still can not enter it as the phone reboots itself every 5 seconds due to the stuck power button. The reflashing operation is not finished (Nexus Toolkit says: "Waiting for your device" and times out after a while) and the battery icon pops up every 3 seconds.
Edit: and yes I tried several workarounds to unstuck the power button like flicking against the button, tapping on table, cleaning etc. The only thing I haven't done is tearing the motherboard apart and replacing the whole button itself.
I recommend removing the motherboard, applying pure alcohol around the area, and then quickly pressing and releasing the power button? If this doesn't work, I suggest replacing the power button.
i can use button to get bootloader + TWRP , but my Button volume up down and power cant use in Rom or TWRP, i do no this software or hardware ,? my nexus normaly use but not have button , I use mikey or double tab to wake get screen on , i use apk to get volume , sorry bad english
Hello, I recently came on a pixel phone to build and use lineageOS on. Upon rebuilding, I believe I performed adb sync wrong the device and damaged system. After that, my adb keys became unauthorized and I am unable to access the bootloader menu(I press power and volume, but phone boots into Bootloop). I tried the steps to get to bootloader menu, but the phone doesn't power completely off, and when I press the power button it gives me the launch screen saying press power to pause/continue boot, not allowing me to go into bootloader
My bootloop goes like this: Bootloader integrity screen(bootloader unlocked, cannot be verified) --> Google loading screen --> Android recovery. This shows 2 options with the message, "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device". The two options are to try again or data reset.
I press try again, and the same bootloop ensues, sometimes getting to lineage loading logo, but then back to the same recovery error regardless. If I press the buttons(power and vol up), to go into recovery, it just shows an android with a warning sign above it, giving a message saying "Error!" on the bottom. My adb on the computer shows as unauthorized, so I don't know how I can fix this. Google has said the warranty is expired and cannot do anything to help. Ideas to fix? Thanks for help in advance!
Use power and volume down (not up) to go into Fastboot mode. Then flash the stock images

I tried that, but whenever I press any button, the phone is never turning completely off unless it dies. Even after that, it goes to the screen showing the secure boot integrity(Press power to continue/stop boot)
How can I completely shut off the device and restart it? And if system is messed up, will that leave my bootloader intact(I'm assuming so as boot is a different partition?)

Does holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds turn it off? Or if you do that does it appear to turn off and then restart?
If that fails to turn it off, try just holding power and volume down for 5 seconds, and if the screen flashes (goes off and then on) let go of the power button but keep holding volume down and hopefully it goes into Fastboot.
That should work unless you have a dodgy power or volume button. The bootloader is completely separate to the boot partition, and the fact that it's doing anything at all suggests that it's still functioning.
Only other option I can think of is trying ADB commands when it's in recovery mode, e.g. adb reboot bootloader. However, if you have the stock recovery, that may not work.

Thank You!!! It didn't work in the bootloop, so I had to let the phone drain its battery and shut itself off, then I was able to enter the bootloader and reinstall lineage. Thanks so much!

Is ur bootloader unlocked? If so, use twrp to perform a full wipe and install from twrp as well. Of you can't access trwp, and are in a bootloop, do the same thing I did: let the phone lose all it's battery, so it's outta the loop, connect the phone to a charger, then hold power and volume down. This should get you into bootloader mode where you can then use fastboot to flash twrp.

My bootloader is unlocked but phone not detected on pc only black screen nothing else.... Red light flashes whenever connect to charger
Ok Guys So I Shouldn't Have Done This But I Used Fastboot To Flash Recovery And I think I Did It Wrong. It Said "ok" And Finished And I Rebooted Phone It Resetted And Then Stuck On The Orange State Bootloader Message. I Do The Recovery Mode And Goes Black And Nothing Is Responsive For a While, Sometimes Longer Than Others. This Happens If I Start Phone Normal Or Try Fastboot Or Download.
Because Of My Mistake I Cannot Connect To Pc Software And Im Not Sure Of What I Can Do. I Feel Like Im Not Going To Like The Answer For This But I Got To Take The Blame For This.
Btw i Have A Samsung galaxy Note 20 Ultra Sm-N986u
I think your phone is hard bricked
so you can't get fastboot using volume up+power or via adb?
rescue from manufacturer site pos or just device not being recognised?
It isn't hard bricked it's just way of Samsung trying to make life of simple people more difficult, people who paid for Samsung phones lots of money.
To sort that screen issues what you can surely do is,
Simply press volup + voldown buttons at the same time, no matter if you're on that orange screen or whatever just press those those two buttons at the same time and keep pressing them while you connect your phone to pc. you will boot into download mode. Then flash stock firmware for your phone. After stock of flashed Reboot and start your phone, go to developer options see if oem unlock option is there if it is then oem unlock it if it is not then go back to settings manually change date to year ago, then go to updates disable auto update, connect to WiFi, and press on update several times untill window shows up saying no updates, then go to developer options you should see oem unlock, unlock it.
Then boot into download mode and make sure you have working copy of recovery.
And make sure you follow instructions of whoever recovery you installed on how to boot into recovery. I have S20 plus and too had troubles with it, and the only working recovery for my phone is twrp customised. To boot into it after flashing recovery from odin auto reboot disabled I pressed voldown and power, USB cable connected, then after screen goes off I changed from voldown to volup while kept pressing power button and cable connected. Orange screen with warning showed up for 5 sec I kept pressing and it bottled to twrp and then I was able to install custom rom beyond rom and while installing in aroma I was able ti choose option to remove orange screen.
That's it.
I ran into the same error. I mistakenly loaded twrp's recovery into userdata instead of ap section. The phone was stuck at the orange screen and nothing was happening whatever i pressed. I waited till the battery to dry out and with 0% battery, i directly connected to pc and was able to get into download mode. Then i flashed stock and everything is now back to normal.
