Power Button not working, ROM is in endless boot - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have quite a problem at the moment.
My power button stopped working, now that would not be too much of a problem as there is much info and help on that.
In an attempt to remap the wake button to the volume buttons I flashed a .zip for JB that should do that.
Problem is: My Boot is stuck at the CyanogenMod boot logo. I would try to reinstall CM but I cannot figure out how to get into recovery
When i go into the bootloader I cannot do anything except stare at it.
Any wizards out there that can help?
Thanks =)

I cannot install USB drivers. My PC does not detect my android device in fastboot mode. What can I do?
EDIT: To specify, nothing appears in the device manager that I can use to install the drivers on.

Read the instructions in Nexus Root Toolkit where you are advised to install PDAnet drivers.

The PDANet installation routine wants me to have the device on (as in completely booted).
See the image attached. Or is there something else that I was meant to see in the PDANet installation description?

Huawei ideos (u8150) drivers??

I've got a Huawei u8150 which I just rooted using z4root. Now I'm trying to put it into recovery mode using ultrajackrecovery but when I put it off then put it back on while holding the volume down and end key and connect it to my PC, it says Android 1.0 driver not found. PS. USB debugging is turned on. I need help in finding the right drivers and I'm using a windows 7 64bit pc. Thanks!

Also when I open ultra Jack recovery, it just says "waiting for device".

first of all install adb drivers...they are located at the cdrom partition of the device...when you connect it it should appear...then install those drivers...and boot into bootloader mode(redkey+vol down+power)....then manually install the android bootloader from the device manager...or intall pdanet on the computer and it will automatically install everything
i've done that and it was able to install some drivers when the phone was on. then i put it back off and tried restarting it using vol down and the end key but when it comes on, it still says android 1.0 driver not installed. and ultra jack recovery is also not recognizing it. i think it will after the android 1.0 driver has been installed but i cant find it.
manually install the driver!
right click computer,propeties,device manager..
look for android 1.0
double click it..
reinstall driver..
manually select driver..
look for android devices.
select android bootloader interface and install it.
it WILL work..
(i had the same problem)
THANKS MAN! IT WORKED!! now that im done with this, which rom would you suggest i install?? there's a lot all over and im confused about which one to go with.

In Windows device manger you probably have a usb port when an "!" On it. Right click it then manual install the usb drivers. You'll have to browes to whet you downloaded the drivers

Google "nexus 5 diagnosing usb drivers xda"
why use a toolkit on a nexus device? its easier to root your nexus without a toolkit.
1. "fastboot oem unlock" via fastboot unlocks the bootloader.
2. flash a custom recovery via fastboot
3. flash the su binaries(supersu) in your new recovery.
4. reboot and profit, thats it.

You're probably going to have to go into device manager, view hidden, and delete each usb port that is not being used and start over. Don't have your phone connected when you do this. It's a pita. Then reboot your computer, than plug your phone in. Also make sure you're using the usb cable that came with your phone and usb ports in the back of your pc

some people have reported issues if you didnt let the device 'reset' itself after you unlocked the bootloader so it could rebuild the data partition.
its more of a precautionary thing than anything else.

[Q] Nexus 5 does is dead???

I installed latest CM rom and unfortunately xposed framework on top.
after that my device does not start and seems to stack in CM logo for ever.
I can get to recovery but does not find any backup files! Seems like scdard is empty or not recognizable.
I tried to push a new rom for with adb from fastboot but my pc does not seems to find the phone. Like adb debugging is not enabled on the phone.
I also fails when I try to erase the device from recovery.
Any help is welcome.
Boot in fastboot and flash a factory image. Best way to fix pretty much anything.

Hi, your phone is ok, just empty. the problem is on the computer. You need to fix the driver for nexus 5. You probably have them installed since you unlocked the phone. just keep your phone connected and on recovery mode.
go to device manager, look for nexus 5. Choose "update driver"
"Browse my computer for driver...,
"let me pick from a list of device drivers"
choose any ADB driver, and install it.
Many more ways to do it

If it can boot to the bootloader, and it still cant find the device, the problem is either with your computer(driver) or with the usb hardware on the phone(highly unlikely since it happened after you messed with software)

Stuck With Boot Screen

I have Samsung Galaxt Tab 2 7". Yesterday to install custom firmware, I flashed some wrong recovery on it.
Now, when I turn it on it is stuck on Samsung Initial boot logo and stays there as long as possible.
If I turn it off and bring it to download mode (Press and Hold Power and Down Volume Key), it comes into download more but when connected to PC, it says USB Device Not Recognized.
I tried charging my Tab whole night, it became warm and till morning it was warm only. Now I am completely stuck and don't know what to do.
Is there any solution for this? Is there any button combination which can take the tab at-least to stock android?
Since USB is not been recognized, so I am helpless to do anything here.

Hm, Odin needs Samsung USB Drivers to be able to recognize device, did you already install them?
If not, you can download it here.
(If you're using Windows 8, tell me, because you will need some special method to install the drivers.)

I hope I'm wrong, but it sounds like your board got damaged. But if the board was damaged, it won't ever turn on. So my mind is a bit twisted here.

Sorry, I must have missed this post. I don't know if a VM will work or not. I think the problem is windows 8 as there have been lots of problems reported with Odin and Heimdall (probably the drivers) on windows 8.

Softbrick? some custom rom advice please

Hello everyone,
I have done something utterly stupid with my Nexus 5, I wiped the internal storage and lost my roms, I really wasnt thinking.
I have tried looking at options like adb sideload but cant find a decent tutorial
Could I just get a micro usb to usb adapter and install a rom off that?
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction with adb sideload?
Other problems are I can't get on the android SDK because the CMD box only flashes up.
Does the adb sideload option in TWRP actually do anything if you wait for it? Its been waiting for about 1 hour now and nothings happening.
Please guys any help is appreciated

Why don't you flash the factory image using fastboot?
The Cmd box you are referring to happens because you need to navigate to that directory using Cmd and run it from there. You cannot just click it.
Thanks but I cant get the SDK to work at all. Im still looking into it but at the moment it wont work
Please somebody help me with the SDK, I dont know what else to do.
I cant open the SDK manager and I cant open it through eclipse either.
Someone else must have had this problem before
Click the link in my signature and then "adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you configure adb properly. It also helps you learn commands. Like adb push.
adb sideload is the same as push but you type sideload instead.
FYI as much as people round here say it, there is no such thing as a soft brick. Its brick or not brick.

Show down and don't panic. Your device is easily fixed. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. This will shut down the phone. Then press and hold the vol down then press the power button. That'll bring your into the bootloader.

Power + volume down button brings you in the bootloader, from there go into recovery (navigate with volume buttons and select with power button)
In recovery follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200.
Or flash the factory image in the bootloader. (that should work because you need to unlock your bootloader in fastboot)
Thanks guys,
It wasnt working because water damage had interfered with the volume buttons previously.
