[q] bricked nexus s [help!] - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I am officially freaking out i bricked my nexus s while doing a new rom install i don't know whether its a hard or soft brick. It happened around last week and I tried the Unbrickable Resurector method but to no avail it doesn't recognise my device! Any suggestions would be apreciated

up to where does it boot up? can you access custom recovery or not? if you need help from people here you must give all info needed.
or use the search button and try all available solutions. it's not hard to do it.

it doesnt turn on at all it does however appear to show signs of live when on charge as it heats up

OK one thing we know for sure is that it is hard-bricked. The link is below.

Doesn't matter. I remember that it used to be you have to have 10 posts before you can post links. That is all.

That isn't going to work because the Mod doesn't detect the phone.

i have the same problem here. this happend completely randomly on one reboot. i suppose this could be a bootloader problem as i can see a brief flash on the LED display when i click the power button or plug the usb cable. but after that - nothing. ive tried unbrickable, but my system doesnt recognize a usb device at all.

[Q] Nexus S Hard Bricked!

Hello everyone! Today I accidentally flashed a stock ROM (with stock bootloader) of Samsung i9020T on my Samsung i9023 and the result is that no longer turn on! Do you think I can solve with an USB Jig? If there were no other chances, can I send it to Samsung assistance?
P.s. sorry for my english
Can you get to download mode?

No, I cannot access either to the fastboot mode, or in recovery!! To access to download mode, I ordered an USB Jig on ebay, but it will arrive next week! Do you know if it works?
Thanks
There is a gnu/linux tool called unbrickableMod by adam outler, it can be found from android development section. Try that.

Hi Cesco, sorry for your problem. I thought that if the rom would have been not suitable for the phone it would have advice you. Can I ask you the link of the jig you bought? I think is good to always have one...

Ok, but I'm not sure that I can solve with the JIG!
Yes, I'm on Androidiani.com, but my tool can't solve an hard brick because are needed the JIG Usb and (if it works) ODIN Downloader, to reflash the bootloader.
If I can resurrect my phone I could write a tutorial to help the users with a problem like the mine..
Anyway I haven't yet figured out if, with the jig is 100% sure that I solve this problem. Have you never used it?
Thanks!

No, Cesco. I'm a lucky man and never needed this Jig. But you know, for only 3euros I want to be ready for the worst. I usually flash a lot. Let me know if it work!
Ok, last question, I found a post on androidiani.com says that in this case, the jig is not working, so, do you think that Samsung assistance accepts it?

I really don't know the warranty policy, but consider the warranty as the last thing. Try that jig, then you'll see what to do. The pc cannot see the phone plugged to usb neither with the PdaNet?
Try to open a thread on androidiani, maybe there's someone that have had your same experience!

[Q] status of my phone

i had tried to install a custom rom and my phone is not starting in either way
it is neither starting in download mode ; the normal on nor in the recovery mode
i have already done this rooting and i am not new to installing custom rom in my device i.e. SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE.
i have also tried to boot it by using usb jig but it failed.
so guys do u have any idea how i can get my phone back or is it bricked for ever.
please share ur views.
Can you link the ROM you flashed?
If you take out the battery then put it back in, then turn it on (or attempt to), does it do anything at all? Vibrate, flash something, anything?
If you plug it in to your computer, does it recognize anything as plugged in, even just a driver?

Oh, I didn't actually watch the video, I assumed "unbrick" had something to do with maybe not being able to access Download Mode.
Something crazy, are you sure your battery is in correctly, and are any of the pins that connect to the battery from the phone bent?

Sounds hard bricked to me, let me see if someone with more knowledge on that phone has better insight.
It does sound like its hard bricked.
If usb jig didn't work for you, then only Samsung can fix it for you.
As for warranty, depending on what reason you give them for the "sudden death" of your phone, you might be able to claim it.
Your phone's hard bricked. Get it repaired in the service center!

They might honor the warranty without having to "have" anything, just ask them. I have no idea how much they'll charge.
Motherboard replacement - anywhere around 2500INR
Approx 50USD.
There's one last thing to try.
JTAG. If you don't know how to do it, ask these guys if they can help you with your phone. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
They're very good and trustworthy, and their service is great.
It may not start in Download mode, but I'm quite sure a JTAG is still in point. If it doesn't boot into Download mode, it means bl.bin got messed up, which is something unusual since only Samsung code/flashable through ODIN can change that file.

You will have to send it to them and it will cost money. It's not something you can get a guide to do - they need to hook up hardware to the phone and that hardware is more expensive than paying them to do it, and not a "do it yourself" kind of thing.
You could search for JTAG repair in your country. Shipping might not be too bad in a small pre-paid USPS PMI box if you have access to that - I sent a small box to Russia for $13 USD

It did not. Now i sit here with my S3 that will not turn on, the screen does not light, the led does not glow and i cant get it to enter odin/download mode or recovery.

When you flashed in odin, did you use pda? If not there's your fisrt mistake.
Please read forum rules

Sorry i panicked and wrote this in the first forum i could find lol
but yes i used pda, i had Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked as well
It doesnt turn on, no led, and it will not vibrate as i hold the power button (or any combo with the power button) to say its turning on and i just cant see anything either. Im literally getting no response from the phone.

This is a Verizon GS3? Hard bricks are fairly rare but the usual cause of hard bricks is wrong firmware (international gs3 vs. US) or an interrupted process. From what you typed, it seems like you did everything right. Shouldn't be a corrupt file either if the md5 checked out
yeah its a verizon s3, i followed the instructions to a T and im freaking out that i cant get it to even vibrate or hit recovery mode. i'd love to just reset it and try again with the root... i dont really care about anything on it, its practically new and there isnt really much on it anyways. so deleting stuff isnt an issue
Have you tried pulling the battery? I just ran though the whole process without a hitch.

The file should be VRALEC.bootchain.tar.tar you didn't extract it did you? See in the quote in red.

well that's 99.9% the problem right there.
when flashing things that could brick your phone, radios, recovery, ESP bootchain!
double check that MD5, but hey I've done the same, and now I ALWAYS check it on everything even little things, lesson learned the hard way for me.
glad you'll be getting new phone..
and for about flashing prob not, I have sent back 2 SG3's rooted with TWRP recovery, but that's me..
I even brought one to VZW and she was going to do a factory reset reading from the screen and it brought her to TWRP recovery LMAO! her and the manager looked at each other like WTF, and STILL gave me a brand new phone uotta the box.
Rather than start a new thread, I'm just going to bump this one. I had this same problem. I followed the instructions from the XDA article, along with the ones provided in DroidModd3rX's YouTube video exactly on my VZW GS3, build JZO54K. I hard bricked my phone. It only showed up in the Device Manager on Windows 8 as QHSUSB_DLOAD. It was stuck like that as soon as I flashed the VRALEC Bootchain. Is there something I've done wrong that I could have done differently to prevent it from happening? I had just purchased it the day before, so I was able to get a replacement, but I'm highly interested in rooting my device and want to ensure this doesn't happen again. Is it a problem with Windows 8, is it the build my phone is running on, or is it perhaps because I had USB Debugging checked on? I just find it odd that I had the same problem, and went through it the same day as the person who started this thread. And yes, I did check the MD5, it was fine.

I have I tried doing this one that un-roots the device with Ace Hack...And It requires Usb Debugging but it's not on...
Frankly I don't see how you are going to get out of this one unless you go in there and find a way to press the vol down button, either by sticking a pin in your phone in that area or opening it up to get it pressed.
You cannot get into Fastboot or Recovery unless you do so.
You did not enable USB debugging so you can't input ADB commands during the boot-loop.
Is there an emergency reset button on this phone? (the HD2 had a small one in the back that could be used to hard reset the phone i believe).
Mine showed similar until I flashed the kernel.
Is it unlocked? S-On? S-off? Have you run a RUU to return to stock get debugging back? Have you tried flashing anything from fastboot? And...have you changed your incredibly undescriptive title?

Let me start with, Thank you so much for your time
However, It seems like I'm unable to install the right drivers on my PC for my phone and adb doesn't detect my device (which is strange as CF-auto-root did see the device and worked fine)
I walked through multiple tutorials about installing drivers. Actually have windows detecting my phone fine (I see it in device manager) and I've reinstalled google USB drivers multiple times now, rebooting my PC and deleting drivers and reinstalling them
I've justed factory reset my phone, but that just got me to a Google logo stuck (which I read about in your link in your signature)..
Because adb doesn't detect my device I'm unable to pull build.prop... which means I feel stuck again.
Would you have a direction for me to go towards to continue my journey through Nexus5-Land?

I walked through multiple tutorials about installing drivers. Actually have windows detecting my phone fine (I see it in device manager) and I've reinstalled google USB drivers multiple times now, rebooting my PC and deleting drivers and reinstalling them
I've justed factory reset my phone, but that just got me to a Google logo stuck (which I read about in your link in your signature)..
Because adb doesn't detect my device I'm unable to pull build.prop... which means I feel stuck again.
Would you have a direction for me to go towards to continue my journey through Nexus5-Land?

If you're using Windows 8, 8.1 or 8.1U1 you'll need to disable driver signature enforcement.
Try flashing the factory images in fastboot?
Could somebody not just make a flashable zip with the correct build.prop?
Failing that, just reflash the ROM.

It seems like it worked! Completly back to StockROM but the phone works again. Thank you so much for your time.
And you're right, I should learn to read and understand what I'm doing before I do anything with my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the help you've given.

Glad you got it sorted but, unless you couldn't boot into recovery, you didn't need to go back to stock.
Flashing the correct build.prop or ROM you were using should have sorted it out, without losing any data (you would have lost any system mods if you flashed the ROM again, though).
I'm only mentioning this in case somebody else searches and finds this thread for the same problem.
I've changed the build.prop loads of times on many devices and only once it went into a bootloop. Flashing a build.prop zip sorted it.
