ok, tried doing the official ota update about 2 days ago, but once it tried doing the update, my phone gets stuck at the (M) logo.
I cannot boot it up in anyway possible, and my battery is dead so i cant start it up while plugged in USB, but if its plugged into the wall itll start up and im able to get into boot loader etc...
ive tried putting a recovery img on root of sd card and applying as an update.zip file and getting an sdcard error status 7.
my phone was never rooted, all stock. any help>
power off your phone, plug it into wall charger and let it charge up. while its charging up download a 2.1 sbf,
SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P042_A005_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz (google it)
Then download RSD Lite (google it)
Then when your phone is charged boot into bootloader (hold up on keyboard and press power button)
connect to pc via usb, open rsd lite, make sure phone shows up connected, load sbf you downloaded and press start and let it do its thing.
should bring you back to stock 2.1.
hope this helps
well thats the thing, ive let it sit plugged into a wallcharger for hours upon hours, the secon i plug it in, it turns on by itsself and sits at the moto M screen, and once i unplug it i cant do that.
i am able to get it to the screen where you can wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache, reboot and apply update.zip. if i had an update file, and i did a wipe and flashed it, would that fix it? because ive tried that, but idk if its the wrong file or what, but i get a sdcard error. like status 7 on the verification step
also on getting the batt charged, i noticed when plugged into a wall screen lights up with M logo. and when i plug into computer with usb, the white light next to charger lights up?

you don't run an update, u reflash the phone with rsd lite. choose the correct sbf for ur phone from here - http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone?s[]=sbf, download it, extract it, flash it. make sure the battery has a full charge
.i want to reflash but rsd lite cannot detect my milestonext720...how ?..FYI b4 this i run adb on same pc...but it can run...all driver for motorola hav installed ..ill use rsd lite 4.5.3
well the problem is my phone wont charge, it wont charge in wall or usb, when i plug into wall phone auto starts and just sits at (M). idk if it charges in bootloader mode? or in recovery? not sure

I actually had this problem myself fairly recently. I was able to partially insert the plug into my phone until the LED turned on, but not far enough to where the Motorola logo turned on. It'll either try to fall out or plug further in, so I recommend placing it on a surface which won't have much disturbance.
After about an hour, you should have sufficient charge to mess around with the software and flash a new SBF by the bootloader, or reflash a backup through recovery. I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in too long like this, because it might not be very good for the phone's health.

umm .. what's about charging the battery with another phone or external charger and put it back to ur phone?
i have just the same issue ... i am sure that the battery is fully charged, cause ive charged it with another milestone ... but that one simply won't turn on ... tried different combinations of sd/simcard/battery on and off .. still the same ... Any help would be highly appreciated.
pull out the battery get back and push d-pad UP and power buttons before M logo came up. so you can flash a sbf file with rsd-lite._a
I had a Vibrant before and flashed it constantly. I soft bricked it several time and it was easy just to Odin back to stock and try again. Before I begin to flash Roms on this phone I would like to know how one would fix a bricked Nexus S. I searched "bricked Nexus S" and didn't come up with much.

Flash a stock img thru fastboot/adb. Just as painless as Odin was if not easier.
Sent from my Nexus S
Yeah I figured that much but I have never used ADB before. What are the commands to flash a stock img and where can I get a stock img? I already have ADB set up, serial # comes up when I enter - adb devices. I'm ready to root and flash but I want to be prepared for anything. I don't want to panic for ten minutes like I did the first time I bricked my Vibrant.

You should be able to snag a stock image from the development section. As far as what adb commands to use check out any of the root tutorials in development.

bricking the phone is not easy... everything can be wiped and reinstalled with ease. Recovery is your friend.

That's why I love this phone. When I first rooted my wife's phone she was a nervous wreck about me ruining it. Now, she jokingly cheers when it boot loops or hangs on the google splash screen.

Hi Everyone.
I have my Nexus S for a 3 days - it's brand new. Last night i turned it off. It was about 50% charged. Today i can't turn it on. Phone is dead. What's wrong? There is no any response, even during charging (black screen).
Phone wasn't rooted. It has Android 2.3.2 update.
What can I do?

not enough information is present. you can attempt to get into bootloader / recovery, plug USB to the computer. When plugged, does the computer make a plugged in noise? if it does.. try turning it on, try using adb on it, etc.
as a last resort: if its not rooted or modified in any way, you can go back to best buy and exchange it since you said you've only had it for 3 days

First thing to do is pull the battery, let it sit a minute or two, then put the battery back in and try to boot.
Also, try booting into recovery or fastboot. With power off, press and hold volume up button, then press/hold power on switch. You should enter fastboot mode. From fastboot menu, select boot to recovery. The phone will reboot and you'll get to a screen with an "!" and an android robot on it. At that point you press hold power, then press/hold volume up (make note that this is the reverse of what you did earlier).
Once in Recovery, try wiping cache from the menu.
Reboot.
If still no good, then repeat the process but pick factory reset/wipe from the menu in recovery. Note that this will wipe all personal data and apps off the phone but it won't touch your sdcard contents.
The case with pull battery - not working.
I can't enter fastmode using 2 keys combination.
Computer don't recognize the phone. It's brick...

Last option is to try to trick it into Samsung's Download Mode (see the Odin thread in Development section), but if the keys aren't recognized you can't soft boot into it so you'll need a dongle with a resistor to get there.
Sounds like it's truly a brick at this point. You'll probably have to return it, but I'm concerned about returning a phone that has your personal data on it without being able to wipe it. Doesn't seem like much way around that at this point if you can't get fastboot or download.
get the 301k resistor JIG and then you can go into the download mode even without the 2 keys + usb plug
you can always make your own JIG if you have the materials at home or a nearby Radio shack
Thx for all Your advices
Problem was with the dead battery. The battery died during the night - i don't know why. I think the system waren't able to boot up ant start charging process.
My solution:
I took 9V battery, 2 wires and charged dead battery for a while from 9V battery. Then a put it into phone and plug in to wall charger. Charging process started
Now everything is ok
That's pretty scary that it wouldnt take a charge if run down completelty. But hey handy to know incase it happens to any of us,
If you get any repeat i would take it back to get a fresh battery of course (only right to do so).
here's hoping you never need to though

Bricked
Tried unlocking nexus s last night, now it appears bricked. Cannot connect to computer to reflash as it seems to have wiped the driver. Any ideas on how to bring it back from the dead? thanks
I have managed to see the phone with fastboot. I was hoping that fastboot update, would re-image the brick. Can anyone let me know the correct syntax. I am not able to copy an image onto the phone. Thanks again
Noob {MAC User}... Please be gentle
Greetings Everyone,
Okay, so I endeavoured to root my phone last night and was successful. I ran into trouble when the clockwork recovery and superuser permissions kept getting removed each time I reboot.
Now, I'm at the Google splash screen with no way to move forward. I'm a mac user and I don't really get the adb thing. Got adb to work with mac from a youtube video, but still not sure what commands to run.
What I've done so far:
- wiped cache
- wiped/factory data reset
- retraced my steps by using terminal to setup superuser permission from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927838)
What I think:
- maybe in all of my clicks I removed the ROM, so the phone doesn't have a ROM to work with.
This maybe a really infantile conclusion, but I know there's a solution (had a rooted G1 that I flashed all the time and thought I bricked once but was able to get it back to stock).
Eagerly waiting for a reply... no cell phone if this can't be fixed.

It would be easier to help you if we knew exactly what you did that caused the problem. You said you tried to unlock it...you mean fastboot oem unlock or something else?
If you can get into fastboot, you're not totally lost, but the computer needs to see the phone to do it.
I'm working in a vacuum here on what your real problem is, but without further details, the things you can try are boot into recovery (from the fastboot mode select boot recovery)...if you're stock recovery, press/hold power, then volume up once you see the android "!". From there wipe cache and whatever else it will let you wipe. Try rebooting. IF that didn't work go back to recovery and try a factory reset of the phone (will delete all your apps and stuff on the phone, but not on the sdcard (pics and stuff).
If none of that works, you can still try getting Clockwork recovery on the phone via fastboot. Boot phone to fastboot and then on computer type the command "fastboot flash recovery <put file name of recovery version you're flashing here>"
Once in clockwork, you should have access to adb via the computer. On your computer go to the Development section here and download any of the various nandroid images posted there. Now you use clockwork mounts and storage menu to mount the sdcard. Then use adb to "adb push <insert path and filename of your nandroid image here> /sdcard"
Unmount the sdcard with the clockwork mounts and storage menu. Now go to the backup menu, select advanced restore and find the nandroid image and restore it.
With any luck, you should be able to boot into a fresh phone.
I've seen a couple of threads about this but none of them have the same issues as I have or they remain unanswered.
My HTC Sensation (EU version) won't boot up at all. I can't boot it into recovery or bootloader and when charging the light doesn't turn on.
It recently started to randomly reboot and at one point it completely corrupted all files on my SD card. However, it worked ok after I bought a new SD card and the random reboots didn't bother me that much. Today when I woke up however, I saw that it wouldn't respond to me pressing the power button. I also noticed that the charging light wasn't on (it was plugged into the wall overnight).
I tried removing/reinserting the battery, I tried booting into recovery and bootloader, I tried connecting it to my PC and forcing it to boot into bootloader but nothing works. To clear things up, when I try to boot it up nothing happens. The screen stays black and doesn't power on.
The only thing that leads me to believe there's still a chance of it working is that when I plug it into the PC, my PC detects it (although it's unable to install the required drivers for it).
I'd appreciate any help I can get.

charge the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 4-5 hours
put them back and switch it on
see how it goes
if that fails then try to switch on the device with a different battery

So are there any options left for me? I've read some stuff about Jtagging but I'm not planning on getting a box or paying someone to do it for me.
Hey guys, I´m new here,
and I have a problem with my Nexus 5.
Today, I took it out of my pocket, and it was turned off. I don´t know why, it charged over night,
So I tried to boot it normally, and it worked. But upon reaching the pin screen for the sim card, a message popped up: Power off, shutting down.
I tried some more time, with and without sim, on the charger, and without, I even resetet it to the factory setting through the bootloader.
All these attempts did not work. My phone is on stock, and it´s unrooted.
What can I try to get it working again?
Cheers,
Timo
My first guess is that the plug was not fully inserted into the socket on the phone so that it discharged all night to zero. When that happens, I've found that you need to plug in the charger and leave it alone for a half hour before you will see any sign that it is in fact charging.

Had it at the charger for like 3-4 hours now, nothing changed...In the short time, I´m able to see the battery indicator it shows the battery on half load together with the sign that it´s loading.
Does the phone load on the bootloader screen?
Cheers,
Timo
Yup, the phone can charge even on bootloader.
Did you unlock the bootloader (and flashed a custom recovery) on the phone ? You should try to backup all data (recovery -> mount and storage -> mount usb, then connect to a comptuter using a usb cable) and to flash another rom/ fastboot and flash the original firmware

This morning my phone would not boot up nor would it take a charge (no charge light on). I looked at various forums/blogs and tried a lot of different methods to fix the problem. I tried soft/hard reset, more powerful charger, connecting the phone to my computer with HTC sync, battery calibration test, and even putting the sensor on front of a light while doing resets.
Only two things were accomplished. I'm able to access the bootloader screen but all of the reboot options only take me back to the bootloader screen. The factory reset and recovery don't work. The battery calibration test does prompt a empty battery symbol to come up, so I'm not really sure what that's indicating.
I would appreciate any help.

Did you try reflashing your recovery ?Maybe your recovery got corrupted. I would get the newest twrp 2.8.1.0 download from the twrp web site and flash it again. Chances are this will fix your problem.

My suggestion would be to try a fresh download of the ruu on your sd card and format it on your computer first or try a different sd card. Also there are many ruu's available make sure your using the correct ruu for the firmware your on. Your on 4.4.4 firmware right ?
If this does not work you might want to try formatting everything in recovery including internal memory, before doing so go under mount and make sure everything is mounted. And have the rom you want to run the zip installed on a sd card and put it in after doing your format.
If your on a gpe rom which is what it looks like I myself always had to format everything if going from a sense rom to a gpe or a gpe to sense. My recommendation would be try a sense rom after the format such as viperone. Ultimately its your call on rom choice. And after doing your format I would flash the newest twrp recovery which should be 2.8.1.0 even if your on it already reflash it then try to install your rom from your sd card.
