Title pretty much sums everything up. Was trying to mod it following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36348097 and unplugged the cable while in CWM like an idiot. Now the device will not shut down, nor will it be recognized by the computer. Battery pull is not possible with this thing either, unless I want to disassemble it while it's running. Pressing the power down button in CWM does nothing, and none of the other options work as well. Do I just have to wait a day for the battery to die, and will I be able to even use the watch then?

No worries at all. Every phone is different. I would google it but I would try holding the power and volume up buttons. IF that doesn't work google motoactv download mode.

Indeed it did. Having a new issue though. Stuck in a bootloop when I tried the first instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28179638 and can't seem to get out. Above command doesn't work.
EDIT: Fixed by waiting for the battery to drain, allowing me to boot into recovery, and used the adb commands to do the mod.

So recently my phones been acting up. I had just installed the TEUV kernel from trinity and began noticing some irregularities.
1) the home button started to open the desk clock
2) the power button stopped turning off the screen
3) in bootloader, the up and down volume rocker doesn't work
So naturally i tried to wipe the rom and start new again. However, the phone won't boot up and most far i can go is bootloader. I cant do anything here because the volume rockers don't respond. I tried doing it manually throught ADB but the computer doesn't see the device.
any help guys? I'm really out of ideas so any would be great.

besides for the home button opening the deskclock, i experience everything else. but for me, its because my power button is broken. sometimes it partially works but acts like its stuck even though its not. in bootloader the volume keys dont work unless i flick the phone with my fingers right by the power button. then every so often the volume buttons work in bootloader. i use the twrp recovery btw, because it has on option to not use the power button to select.
anything else i can do?
my computer cant even recognize the phone for some reason.

also, try this.. pull your battery for two minutes, then put it back in and try booting. if it boot, you can boot into recovery via the terminal.
via terminal? is that command prompt? oh and what drivers do you think ill need? thanks man.

you can install the nexus s driver via pdanets website, thats the easy way http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
download and install the free program(its a tethering app) onto you desktop/laptop, then open it and follow the onscreen instructions. it will install the right nexus s driver for you. you might have to uninstall the other driver, if you had it installed.
about the terminal, yea, its a command prompt right from your phone. if you dont have the terminal emulator installed, you can get a free one from the android market. open the terminal and type..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
i dont use adb at all, i use the terminal emulator instead. there are lots of cool things that you can use it for. for example, i flash/update my recovery through the terminal and sometimes also push boot.img through it to my phone too. plus lots of other stuff
Thanks Simms!
the one problem is I can't turn on my phone either. Its stuck on a bootloop. That is why i'm trying ADB. I'm trying to install PDAnet but its still not locating it. I'm going to try on another computer and check back in a bit.

The fastboot program you run in command line. Like ADB but for flashing img's real quick.
im not sure. maybe im not doing it right but on bootloader mode, under device manager, the phone doesn't show up so im guessing USB debugging doesnt work? thanks so much for the responses guys!
any more suggestions?

finally, the nexus is back. thanks everyone!!!

*Noob* Honestly have been searching since 10:00am, it's now 5:30.
I was trying to install a rom on my phone and usually odin runs fine for me but it froze and I got p and hit my phone off the wire, now I cannot get it into download mode. I have tried holding the volume up and down for however long and it hasn't worked. I have held the volume buttons and the power button simultaneously but nothing can get it to go to download mode. Does anyone have any ideas?

ok, download for me is
taking battery out
plugging in usb cable
holding both vol up and down only
slapping the battery back in....
That used to work for me too, but now I'm stuck at the phone /!\ computer screen and that doesn't do any thing /: If i hold all buttons down the screen will blink black and that's it
The screen you've described is just an alternate download screen.

Then you some how doing it wrong then because every person I said that too has said that it helped them get into the bootloader. As soon as it turns off let quickly let go off the power button but still keeping hold of Vol- and then press and hold the power button. And as added bonus flash TWRP recovery when you get into the bootloader then you wont have it booting into recovery like it's doing now.

All your way does as i stated on the other forum is it goes off a green line flashes across the screen, the charge light goes on and off a few times, green light flashes again and then it goes into clockwork recovery. even telling adb to reboot into bootloader does not work

Em not really most of it is copy and paste anyway but before doing that I think it be best you flash TWRP recovery so it should be easy to get into the bootloader again.

Ya I never use Linux before doing so don't worry about to much but if you know what you doing with command prompt then you should do fine.
After playing around with different roms/kernels/bootloaders on my 930f i arrived at an impasse. I must have installed an incompatible combination of bl/kernel/rom because i am stuck at the bootlogo.
I can not switch off the phone (or at least i don't know how). Pressing vol down + home + power reboots the phone but i can not get into download mode to fix it with odin like i did so many times before.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Try keeping those 3 button combos pressed, when it reboots the first time, keep them pressed, let it reboot a second time and see if it enters download mode
That worked. Thank you!
Do you have an idea why this is needed?

Not sure why it gets stuck at the logo, just can't complete the boot process for whatever reason, but usually it wouldn't be an issue because we'd just remove the battery and get on with fixing it, but now we don't have that option we notice when it gets stuck a lot more lol

Hello, please help. I have a big problem.
I just flashed custom ROM and the installation was successful. When I restarted the phone, it stopped at the "Samsung Galaxy" logo and did not complete and then restarted automatically in this case. I tried to enter twrp, but to no avail. I also tried Entering the download mode, but also it does not work
I hope that someone will help me, and is this how the phone was damaged, or is there hope to recover it?
Try holding power and volume down for over 20 seconds, after the phone reboot keep holding those keys and hope you get into download mode

Honestly, no, I haven't tried jaw before But I waited until the battery ran out and tried again to insert the download, but it didn't work either,,, I have a question I first formatted and then installed the ROM, then it succeeded, but after the word “installation was successful” there were words in red “failed mount system root” Then I flashed the rest of the ROM files, then I thought it was over, so I restarted, but it stopped at the "samsung galay - secured by Knox" logo. It does not continue and then restarts itself in this case and does not stop until the battery runs out and stops then I tried to enter the recovery but to no avail and also the same thing with the download mode,, summarizing all this does the phone need a motherboard, or that the matter can be solved?

It can be solved. It doesn't need a motherboard.
Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
