I'm sorry but I CANNOT switch it on.... my NS doesn't answer to any push on any button.....
So I don't see no logo, or else.....

Dead Nexus S, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842229
Send it back for repair. All your data is gone though, hope you have backup.

How about the basics:
Pull the battery, charge it for an hour or so... boot in either recovery or boot loader screen instead of just powering up.
If u get one of the above screens then ur fine.
If none of that works, then follow the link from previous post
Good luck

Ok, the first is how was he trying to root it? He definetely have messed his bootloader for using a froyo RUU in an GB shipped device. The phone will boot if you let it for about 1/2 hour. Don't try anything else before you solve that.
And next time you have to read and ask before doing something you don´t actually know how to.

Ok...I will register tonight. I can´t in the office...
OK I had this problem. Take the battery out and let the phone sit for about half an hour. Then plug the phone in to a wall charger ( not the computer ) press the volume down button and press the power button until you see the HTC logo. After that keep holding the down button until it enters HBOOT. Use the vloume keys to select the reboot option and boot the phone. It worked for me. Hope it helps.

Stuck on "htc one" screen

Hey guys, im a noob and i recently flashed ViperXL on my att HOX. everything was going fine except after i restored data from Titanium backup that i had backed up from previous ROM (AOKP build 4). Titanium said i had to reboot so i did. And now i am stuck on "htc ONE" screen. Is my phone done? please help!
Plug your phone in, use ADB to reboot into recovery, wipe everything and reinstall ViperXL.
Don't restore apps from another ROM like AOKP

Also reminds us all the importance of backing up our data via a Custom Recovery before flashing ROMs
ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please
Sincerely Jeff

[Q] Sidekick wont boot past Samsung screen

my sidekick 4g wont boot past the Samsung Sidekick 4g screen. it flashes that screen then turns off and repeats every ten seconds or so. I am rooted with superoneclick and only removed files that i was told would not harm my system. i did nothing that i can think of to cause this, i hung up a call and came back to my phone maybe ten min later and my life was ruined. can anyone speculate as to why this happened to be and how to fix it? by the way i cant get into download or recovery mode, it starts then the phone shuts off. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Hi, I am new to the forum as a member, although i have been on here before browsing. Think its excellent and helped me alot with my old htc.
My phone went completely dead today, for some reason it wouldnt take charge from my car charger. I got home and charged the phone, it switched itself on, but wont get past the HTC ONE splash screen. I have rebooted it several times.... any ideas?

You going to need to charge it for half hour or more before you want to start messing with stuff.

Its not rooted, just tried the recorvery option in bootloader, but that just came up with a phone picture with an exclamation mark.
When it stalls, if you hit the power button the bottom keys continually flash. :s
I hope i can get back into this phone as i have alot saved on it!

Try the factory reset option. Your data will still be there afterwards you will just have to setup the phone again.
If you haven't rooted the phone or unlocked the bootloader it's best you stop trying to fix it yourself before you blow your warranty. Try the factory reset and if it doesn't work start calling and trying to get a replacement.
Also, all questions go into the Q & A forum.
Hold the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off and reboots itself into the bootloader. Then factory reset from here.

Factory reset in recovery? Might be worth a try putting one file on the storage and doing a reset through recovery. I doubt it though, since it removes locking and if it didn't wipe out would give access to all your photos and documents.

when you put the battery the phone auto turns on?
when it reboots it vibrates everytime?
Connect your phone to charger once it vibrates for the first time when you boot into recovery mode.
And do you have root access?
Guys did you solve this issue?

2 years passed... this brings some memories
yeah basically your power button is broken, just think about it. Think that your power button is always being pressed, that explains why it keeps rebooting and it autoboots. Just go to a service to request button change, shouldn't be expensive. Or you could try inspecting it yourself, maybe just some dust got in (usually its dirty there)

Thank you
I did all you mentioned above about power key and found it perfectly working.
After checking it the phone doesn't start itself.
But when i start it stuck in the first screen with yellow triangle for some time then it power Off and start automatically repeating the same steps.
I went to recovery mode and made factory rest and wiped every thing
and when trying to flash CWM.md5.trebon it say
Installation aborted
Then i tried another version of CWM using Odin it passed successfully
But when it reboot it stuck again
What can i do

buddy, you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426426
you should to whatever you can so you flash stock using odin, by stock i mean EVERYTHING including bootloader, recovery etc.
if odin gives you error, try to find out if its because of your phone or your pc, as odin tends to give a lot of errors based on drivers and usb ports.
in the case neither a full wipe on the system and all partition works, its totally a hardware issue.
honestly im pretty sure now that its a hardware thing, but the least i can do is to make you try the full wipe
edit: forgot to tell you about the power button.
if you say it didnt autobooted after checking it still could be the button, as when you powered the device up you still used the button which probably got stuck again and continued his buggy purpose.
to fix that , you should follow something like this www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=3Glllc7bEJs but specifically for the ace plus. I dont know if its connected or soldiered because i no longer have the device so cant help you here
