[Q] Power button down + infinite bootloop - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone,
i have no usable nexus s since 2 weeks ( im using a terrible NOKIA phone : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Nokia_2600.png )
, something like one month ago my power button went down, i was using "volume wake" feature on a rom i dont remember, it was working perfectly i just had to remove the battery to turn it off and when i put the battery back it was booting automatically. I had no problems ...
...since i decided to flash a devil kernel (via twrp touch recovery) but i get an infinite boot, my phone is stuck on boot logo.
I cant access manually to recovery cause of the non working power button.
Is there a way to get my nexus working again, how, and is there a way to extract my photos ( a lot of photos ), to buy a power button( i live in france) ?
im using kubuntu 12.10 ( i can find a windows pc if needed )
EDIT : I just fixed the power button with an electrical cleaner so no problems now

[HELP] [Samsung GT-S5570] I have no access to recovery after a flash CWM

Good morning.
Firstly please excuse my English...
Let me explain my problem.
With the idea of ​​making a backup of the rom galaxy s5570 mini for my wife before passing on gingerbread, (actually on android 2.1), I wanted to flash the recovery.
The original recovery worked well, I tested it.
I followed the directions for Roms customs:
-Odin installed
-installed the samsung drivers (Kies)
-download "tass-recovery-cwm.tar"
file-TASS_v1.0.ops
-started in download mode
-put the file or run it is necessary and all in Odin and start ...
Odin said OK
The phone will restart ...
I turn off, I test and I have no access to recovery. The phone is fixed on the screen "Samsung ..."
Basically no way to access the recovery. I tried to reboot directly with QuickBoot, it does not work more.
I redid the procedure a second time just in case ... it makes no difference.
I re-download the various files, TASS.OPS, the recovery, the Samsungs drivers (on samsfirmware this time) ... nothing better.
So now, if someone can help me ...
no ideas to help me?
i've tried to flash recovery too with odin and tass-recovery-cwm.tar, only thing what happens when i try to go in recovery is showing me:
RAMDUMP Mode ( ARM9 mode) and the Samsung logo.. it's just staying there nothing else and what i can do is use power button to reboot in normal mode which boots without a problem.
Later Edit: i've just played with the phone and it seems i can boot in recovery. after a 1st fail trying to boot in recovery (the stucked Samsung logo) i hold power button, the phone reboots and when i see Samsung i press the 3 keys and it goes in recovery.
Later Edit 2: so after more playing with the phone i figured that it will boot in recovery if you press only Home + Power keys, and not as many say VolUP + Home + Power.

I tired ur solution..but it didn`t works on mine..
the home key + power button = stuck on samsung logo
home key + vol up + power button = ARM9 Mode

Hi, to me it happens the same thing but why? someone can help us?
Ah I see I am not alone in this problem. Should be well end up finding a solution.
I would really like to backup my original rom.

!!! CWM will not work on Samnsug GT-S5570 !!!
- my phone was sent back for unbrick it, stuck on Samsung logo -
...so we cannot make a backup of our ROM...
PWR + central => Samsung Recovery
PWR + VolDown + central => Download Mode
PWR hold on for 4 sec => reboot
<what else ?>
What is RAMDUMP Mode ?
What is Quickboot ?
i have the same issue & i can't find any solution
Hi i also got this problem before. Just wan to share. CWM not working with the froyo 2.2(maybe depend on phone) i also got same problem with ur.. Just upgrade to gingerbread first then use the CWM everthing should be fine..
Due to new users i cant post any link.
Just pm me who want link update to gingerbread or you all can just search in here because that i wan to post outside link. thanks for understand..
Ok thank you, good news. I will try to pass on ginger ...
I wanted to do a backup before, but hey, I would not do it and that's it ..
Well after many having difficulty in passing on gingerbread, CWM actually works ... better. Thank you for the tip.
At least he started ... but impossible to make a backup ... it makes me an error message .... pfff ....
There might still be a way...,!
there might still be an alternative way than taking your phone into a samsung service center.., if you can still boot to download mode.. you can still revive your phone...,! flash it with Odin using the Gingerbread rom...,
wish I can help...,
sorry for necroing this thread .. but this thing just happened to my 5570 .. after flashing cwm .. i dont have access to recovery .. just as the 1st post says ..

xoom stucked on boot logo - none of the buttons work in my old xoom :(

xoom stucked on boot logo - none of the buttons work in my old xoom
the power button works but you have to press it from every direction,
both volume buttons dont work
to turn off the xoom I need to disconnect battery so hard reset Power button + Volume won't work
I updated CM 10.1 with the last update and noticed that the 3G doesn't work as good as before so I reverted to previous version and it sucked on the logo
please share your ideas on how to bring the old xoom back alive ?
tried rebooting with and without SIM card in , and SD, no luck still at the logo .
I am going home now so if you can think of how can I restore the tablet with SDK ( if its possible ? ) please drop me a line on how to do it
...managed to install SDK tools and connected xoom to laptop,
but when type : adb reboot recovery , the error I am getting is :
"error: device is offline"
is there any chance to bring it back to live ? please say YES !

[tips & tricks][emergency button combinations]

My First Post Thread On This Sub-Forum. So Please be Lenient.
A Couple of weeks ago I switched my primary device from Asus Zenfone 2 to Oneplus One 64gb.
A while before that... One of my friends who also owned a One got stuck on the boot logo after flashing an incompatible kernel. As the phone did not have a removable battery.. He had no idea how to go back into TWRP.
I figured that A few (maybe more) of the users would have the same kind of doubts for this device. And hence for them... I've made this simple guide.
SCENARIO 1:
•Phone Freezes,
•goes into SoD (Sleep of Death) ,or
• (practically anything that happens when booted into android but rendering most controls useless),or
• Phone Accidentally booted into fastboot mode without a PC nearby.
Fix it:
These can be easily fixed by forcing a REBOOT on the device.
How:
Press and hold the POWER BUTTON only for about 8-10s.
This will cause a reboot.
This method will work anywhere and everywhere on a one. This can be used to force a reboot in any situation.
SCENARIO 2:
•Phone stuck on boot logo /boot animation after incompatible ROM/Kernel/mod etc flash.
•When causing a Simple reboot won't help. And we need to boot into recovery or fastboot mode.
For this we need to first force a shutdown and then a normal reboot to either recovery or fastboot.
How:
Press and hold down the POWER + VOLUME DOWN Buttons for about 8-10s. The phone will power off.
Then
•For recovery press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN for 2-3s
•For fastboot press and hold POWER + VOLUME UP for 2-3s.
And That's it. We've successfully learned how to simulate a battery pull on the One.
NOTE: Please remember that these button combinations are universal. This means they can be used with any ROM or any kernel or even No ROM or no kernel.....lol.
Thanks.

How to get a phone into recovery mode without unlocking it, with pc

Hello Guys/Ladies
I own a oppo neo 7 (a33f) . I messed up my phone by replacing some files at root/system/bin . After replacing the files suddenly the screen of the phone started flashing (it turns on then goes black repeatedly) and also I am not able to press anything on screen.
And now where the real problem begins ,
this phone is so old that it doesn't have volume up volume down or power button (all physically broken)
and the battery got dead :crying: I tried using different things to press the buttons so I can make it into recovey mode (I can still press the volume buttons using pin but no chance with power key ) but still no chance.
Is there any way to make it boot into recovery mode without using the power button and yes I have a working pc with adb and platform tools but the phone is locked so adb prints "unauthorized device" I cant even turn on the device. I tried plugging it in charger and it works, the charging animation shows.
I have the stock rom that I can flash, I am not able get into recovery without power key.
Please help!
Thanks, in advance.
