Hey, i was having trouble with a reoccurring issue with my nexus s: the search button would fire on it own making it almost impossible to use my phone. The nexus was rooted and had clockworkmod installed, so i went ahead and flashed a 2.3.4 version of gingerbread. after the flash was complete, the phone would not turn on whatsoever. not even a boot logo, the screen is just black. cannot even get it into recovery mode.
help would be much appreciated.

are you able to boot it into bootloader (vol up + power button)?
Guys i gotta ask...i mean i flash rom soo many times that my phone is bound to get bricked some day...although nothing has happened till now(knock knock).is there any solution to a hard bricked device..?
kevin, thanks, im unable to turn the phone on whatsoever. not even able to get into the bootloader
Can you adb or fastboot it or is it completely gone?

You have to be pretty unlucky to REALLY brick one of those, assuming you took the proper steps when first rooting it. Nandroid backup + EFS backup = almost bulletproof.

So you don't see any Google logo when you turn it on? Don't get any vibration either?
Could be the BGA failing. That's one of the most common physical problem for the Nexus S, with the power button failure and the softkeys starting to active like they were possessed.

No I'm unable to do anything, can't even get my computer to recognize the phone, I'm beggining to lose hope I feel like I've tried everything. No boot loader, no recovery, just a blank screen with no response whatsoever. I believe I may have flashed an incorrect rom and corrupter the boot loader or something along those lines, at least thats what
my friend believes
Thanks
You could try the UnBrickable Resurrector

I attempted using that as well, but it won't recognize the phone. It reads ``no device detected``

Hello, I have a question
I had on my sensation a custom rom
But i wanted back on a stock rom.
So now, i flashed a PG58IMG,but I have not thought about it that I no longer have root.
I've successfully instaled it, but when I start the mobile phone now I'm just the htc logo and no further.
So guys, anyone can help me with my problem.
I Think he bootloader is broken
I recommend going on youtube to find a solution, just search "how to get back to stock rom" or something like that, i am sure something will pop up, and see where you went wrong, if you did, or google it

A sure way for going back to stock is flashing a RUU. You'll still be s-off and you need to check that the RUU is compatible with your cid.

Pull out the battery, insert it, get into bootloader by pressing and holding vol down + power button hold them until you'll get into bootloader. Connect to a computer, change on fastboot mode and You are ready to flash a RUU
I have sensation xe. And I tried to root it last night. I did succeed upto a certain point. I unlocked the bootloader, and flashed supersu and successfully rooted it.
Where I screwed up is after doing this I tried to flash cm9 without backing up my stock rom. I don't have s off so I'm stuck at the boot animation.
As I didn't back up stock rom, I can't even flash back.
My hboot is 1.29...
Please help!

In sensation general section there is a guide called... "Flashing roms with SON " by asskickar.. From That guide do the extra 1 step.. That will get you out of bootloop

One question.
The fastbooting method is specific to 4ext right? And I have Cwm installed. Is it possible to install 4ext recovery from hboot menu or recovery menu?
Sorry if it's a noob question.

Hi,
Try THIS TOOL
dead scared now
the cell used to flash red light for a few seconds at regular intervals before when charging..but now its even stopped doing that. the red led now just comes on for a few seconds when i put in the battery. nothing happens after that.
What i did before this is that i flashed 4ext recovery though adb. Nothing else
Is there a probability that the battery must have drained out?

Till then can you suggest me any rom that doesnt need s-off and will be a very safe rom to install without any chances of bootloop.
Also i had updated to ics 4.0.3
I was wondering if i could find someones backed up stock rom (rooted) which i could just flash and not go through the hassle of tryin to flash a completely new rom with chances of again ending up in a bootloop?

Okay after i removed the sim card, i managed to get into the hboot menu. But when i clicked on recovery , the phone is stuck at HTC white screen. Did i flash the recovery wrong?

There is a guide called.. "Flashing roms with SON " by asskickar in sensation general section...
Using that you can flash any ics/jb custom roms... Without any bootloops or rather without any issues what so ever... The only requirement is You just need to follow that guide to the letter.. That's all

Yes that might be the case.. If you check the guide I linked initially... Step #2 explains flashing 4EXT.. Even from fastboot... Use that and flash 4EXT recovery
Edit: Btw I initially said to do only extra 1 step from the guide right? Why are you going through entire process again?

ok ok. sorry for all the screw ups.Im letting the cell charge up for now. I should just follow the guide and install the recovery and flash the rom using the extra 1 step right? Just confirming.

Hi,
That is correct.
Follow to the letter,and you will not brick.
Bttery is gone
i think my battery has gone flat...but i kept it on charging for more than 3 hours,it hasnt even warmed up a single bit. I cant get the phone to start. Please suggest some methods
Also when i tried connecting the phone to my pc, nothing happened. While the wire was stil connected to the pc, i pressed the power button and the red led flashed reglar at one sec intervals about 10 times and then one long continuous flash and then it went off. Also that was the time when i heard the notification sound in the pc of a device getting detected.
What to do now?
Do you have a replacement battery to use while this one charges? Maybe that will help.

no i dont...what should i do? and what does the blinking pattern mean?
Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just read read and read more..be comfortable first than you'll be fine and know how to get out of any situation
Just read up and give it another go.....like anything else, sometimes you need certain thing to happen to learn....good luck.
Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom
It can be done either way.
ive been seeing alot of new members soft bricking this way should read though this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193 it explains every thing for ppl on hboot 1.14 and higher.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.
I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...
I want to leave the phone alone but I cant help myself.......Anyone else have this issue???
I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck

Was running RootBox, s-off, etc, and everything was working. Suddenly phone froze and rebooted. But ever since it won't get past the htc startup screen. It just keeps rebooting from there. I've RUU'd back to stock but it still does the same thing. I flashed a recovery and rebooted to recovery from fastboot but it won't get to it. Any ideas?
EDIT: after RUU back to stock, bootloader still will say s-off, not sure if it changed that in the past

Redownload ruu, check md5 retry. If it doesn't work, seems hardware related. corrupt/damaged storage or something.

What happened? did the RUU fail or go complete but no change to the phone?
