Hello all,
Yesterday evening my Nexus S started to continually reboot, sometimes getting as far as the Launcher, sometimes not. I've tried removing the SIM, it doesn't help. I'm not sure what recovery mode is supposed to do, but it reboots out of that too. I never rooted it or anything; is there something I can try before I go for the factory reset?
Best,
Danny.
simple answer : factory reset
try reboot into safe mode, by long pressing power off in the power menu. if this doesn't work, then factory reset. DO NOT PIRATE APPS! because this is what happens when you try to save a few cents by pirating.

Safe mode survives for about a second before it reboots again.
I've never pirated apps.
I think it's time to do a factory reset while I ponder the stupidity of doing an sms backup and leaving the backup file on the phone.

I'm afraid you will have to do a factory reset, but I would advise you to just root your phone! It's very easy nowadays, and it only gives you a win-win situation. Of course only if you use your phone normally.

Yes, I was thinking about rooting if I have to do a factory reset anyway. Actually I spent yesterday trying to figure out if there was a way to access the internal "sd card" from recovery mode using adb, but I wasn't getting anywhere with that, and now the phone looks like it needs the attentions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393 (does anyone know if that works under gentoo rather than ubuntu?)
The phone's halfway through a two year contract so there's a small chance that someone might fix it for me for free on Monday morning, whatever I just need it to be in a usable state on Tuesday morning because I have to go and do a scientific experiment at a synchrotron.

My advice would be: try backing up whatever you need, there are some free backup apps out there. Then if you don't want to void warranty, root your phone and install titanium backup. The paid version allows you to set schedules that it will backup your phone. In case something like this happens again, you will not have the same problem.

we finally have evidence that pirated files causes hardware defects!
The UnBrickable thing didn't detect it, so I took it to get fixed under guarantee. It's now Somebody Else's Problem. Thanks for the suggestions.

I finally got it back today...
Phone is locked...can't unlock with my gmail. I'm assuming its because the wi-fi and mobile network are off. How can I unlock it? Also I can't reboot because my volume button doesn't work.
Isn't there a "skip" or something that lets you get into the phone without logging in? To log in though, you need internet. Your phone needs to talk to Google's servers to validate your account.

I don't understand "no internet at all." If you just don't have access right now, just find your nearest free WiFi hotspot. If your phone's WiFi and mobile data is just broken, and if your phone is stock, yes, you need a new phone.
Have you booted up this phone in the past and logged in before? Or is this the first time that the phone has been logged into? Or has the phone ever been wiped of user data? What has been done to the phone (S-Off, S-On, bootloader unlock)?
I haven't done anything to the phone before and yes it is stock.I turned off the wi-fi and internet before it got locked that's why I have no access to internet.

Here's exactly what happened...
I turned off the wi-fi and internet on my phone and while I was showering my sister tried unlocking my phone.She did it to the point that I had to put in my gmail stuff and when I did it just kept saying either the username or password were incorrect. So after I went on my computer to make sure my gmail stuff was correct and it is correct.
Now I was hopping there was some way of unlocking it without doing the reboot because the volume button doesn't work...so the reboot was never really an option in the first place.

OK, now I get it; maybe start with that amount of descriptiveness in the future to avoid wasting time. You can reboot with ADB. But I have no idea if that lets you unlock the phone.
What are you people talking about..
Can't you take out the battery and power off the phone..
Or just flash the rom again..

I usually like proper reboots instead of forced ones...probably a leftover Windows thing, since Windows gets upset when it's forced to reboot. But you're right, I dont think Android cares.

I mean I guess...I don't think you can cook milk though.Just heat it up...
Anyways...my issue at hand is not being able to unlock my phone.
I had a pattern lock then my sister started trying to unlock it because she thinks she knows everything. She obviously didn't know my password...so then the gmail log-in pops up and I put it in but it says incorrect password or username.Both my password and username are correct though because I logged in through a computer. So my assumption is that it doesn't recognize my gmail log-in because I turned off my mobile network and the wi-fi.
More clarification?
I think we already determined that you can try rebooting, either with ADB or by pulling the battery.

Let me guess, you have not rooted your phone yet..
So, you CAN'T use ADB to reboot
Also, you have not tried removing the battery.
Only thing is take out the battery and put it back. POWER ON and you will come back to lockscreen..
I assume you know the correct pattern to unlock it..
Well, in most of the phones , it gives a 30 second time-out after too many wrong attempts..
@MODERATORS PLEASE CLOSE THE THREAD AS THERE IS NOTHING MUCH GOING ON HERE AND ALL THINGS GOING ON HERE CAN BE EVEN GOOGLED ON INTERNET..!:good:

1. You don't need root to use ADB. You just need to have it enabled.
2. If you truly want moderators to see something use the report feature; they can't be expected to read every "@MODERATOR" post.
3. You're being a little patronizing, don't you think?

1.) If he is not rooted, there are chances he know nothing about enabling the USB debugging option...
So, better use the remove battery option..

Oh, never mind. OP, did you reboot? Did it work?
I don't even know who to blame...
I setup another user so my girlfriend could use my tablet too.
Today when I came home she tells me the tablet went off, she claims she plugged in the power and it came back.
Then she click "yes or something" and...
Yep now all my data is gone. It seems she completely reset the tablet. I don't even know how she got there...
How could that even happen? It crashes a lot when switching between users but it never got into some mode where you can select to erase all ****.
I'm seriously mad at the moment.
I can only warn everyone to use this feature. I lost some data (photos and such) which I unfortunately did not backup yet. (my fault -.-)

Well it doesn't sound like a feature to me. It sounds like she wiped your data (either in the bootloader or recovery or something else) and when it gave her a warning she clicked yes.
Who knows?
I say dump her
I can only blame her for clicking "yes" when she had no idea what it meant.
But seriously how can the tablet get in such a security critical state without any further action?
She definitely does not know how to get into bootloader or recovery.
That damn multi user **** ... I should have just left that stuff alone. It crashes every time I switched the users.
GNAAAAAAA
And I can't even recover the data cause of this damn stupid connection mode of ASUS.

I have a profile for my wife and have never had any problems but it's true that I've always told not to answer if you do not know what you're talking about the tablet and never has.
But it is difficult to come by chance in recovery....... and I think the developers of TWRP and CWM could perhaps enable password for wipe, it might be interesting to avoid situations like this.

If it is only root you need to use that app (of which I know nothing), rooting will not affect your warranty at all. As long a you don't unlock the tablet, your warranty is a-ok.

I decided not to do any fancy stuff and just wipe everything and start over. And I'll stay away from setting up another user.
I still have no idea how she could reset the whole tablet...
I don't even have an idea how to get into recovery or the bootloader. Is it even possible without unlocking?
My best bet is still it is a very serious bug, even if only occuring in very strange situations.

I won't but if the desicion would be clear
Pretty soon, I plan to sell my current phone, and some old tablets, in order to make money towards the new Nexus devices. I'm wondering, though, are there any security concerns for someone potentially being able to recover my data if I sell my phone off? Obviously, this is a big deal to me, because I have all my Google accounts (my primary one being the one I use my credit card through) connected to me phone. Being that my devices all have TWRP installed, my primary thought would be to use that to wipe the internal storage, and do a factory reset. But is it possible someone could still manage to recover my data somehow?
I hear people talk about this for PCs, and hard drives, about how if someone really wanted to, they could theoretically recover your data even if you reformat your computer. Is that possible on smartphones as well, or is it different, due to phones using what I assume is flash memory (or whatever type of memory, that's different from a computer HDD)?
I just want to make sure I take every precaution before I sell my phones off. Granted, I already use two-step authentication on all my Google accounts, anyway, but still. I don't want any risk of something bad happening.
Just make sure to flash a stock ROM on each of them a few times and you will be fine. Can it be done? Yes only if the space has not been over written. That is the reason for the extra Flash's.

So how many flashes should be enough to be safe? And do you have to boot up the phone in between flashes? Or could I just sit in TWRP, flashing the ROM over and over and over again?

I would just flash a few times in recovery. No real reason to reboot.
So "a few" would be what? 3? 5? 10+? What's a safe number?

3 To 5 times should be enough. This is the same thing a DOD wipe does. It over writes the system a bunch of times so any data in unrecoverable.
Okay, thanks for the info.
I guess, alternatively, I could just change all the passwords to my stuff while I'm in between phones, because then, even if someone was able to recover my data, they wouldn't be able to log in since the passwords would have changed, eh?
I dunno. That's going to be so much work, but I'm super paranoid about keeping my data safe, so I'm not sure I can put my faith in making my data unrecoverable by flashing a ROM multiple times. I was kind of hoping that phone memory worked differently than a computer HDD, in that regard, and that it wouldn't have been an issue, but...

You could but ill be honest. Anything that would be needed to recover any real useful info like passwords or such would take a level of skill most people do no posses. The easiest thing to recover are pic and such as that is stored on a different partition then the info your trying to protect.
I am also super careful when I sell old devices. So a simple couple of extra min in recovery is worth it. I also make sure to return the device to stock before I let it go. Just to be sure.
Hey all,
My battery died, after recharge i couldn't access my phone... It says my screen lock pin is wrong! - I NEVER CHANGED IT
And there is no way to reset it without erasing all my data... i had no backups and my engagements photos were there...
'Find my phone' stopped working after the restart (whats the point of it? why does 'find my phone' isn't auto-running and connecting to google? it means that anybody can steal the phone and just restart, wipe it, and use it? this is crazy)
Is there anything that can be done to get my data back?
Thanks

Not backing up your data, then panicking when things go wrong. Unfortunately, an all too common story I've seen on these forums. If the data is important to you, back it up. Don't want to sound overly harsh, but expecting these devices to be foolproof, it not a reasonable expectation. Maybe you just had this engagement event quite recently, and haven't had a chance to backup. But otherwise (as is the story for most folks) no backup plans or habits exist, which you now see is not a good idea.
It doesn't look good. They intentionally prevent data from being retrieved without the password, by design. I know that part is not your fault, it seems some error or corruption has resulted in your password being changed unintentionally.
If you previously modded/rooted the phone, and have TWRP installed there is a small chance (at least worth trying) that you can boot into TWRP and mount storage. But that will likely also prompt you for the passcode and give you the same error/problem. On a stock device (never modified), you have little or no means of retrieving the data.
Your best hope is probably to consider whether you had some cloud backup apps setup, that you might not be thinking about regularly (and may have forgotten about). Example, if you ever used the Google Photos app (not a default app on this phone from what I recall, but maybe you installed it at some point?), it will backup your photos to the cloud, with very little action on your part. You can then still access those photos from a computer or other device, once logged onto your Google account. Maybe only a slim chance of something like that having happened, but you don't have many options at this point.

Lots of personal and financial info on these devices, that thieves will try to steal. That is why the data is inaccessible if you don't have the password. That may not apply to you, but it definitely happens.
