Well I think I finally bricked my Nexus S. What's weird is that it's been working fine. Had JellyBro 20120817 installed for the past few days with no issues. Last night I plugged my phone in to charge and went to bed. Woke up this morning and clicked the power on button to see what time it is and it showed just fine. 20 minutes later I went to check the time again and NOTHING. Pulled battery, tried every button combo, everything. My wife has a Nexus S also, so I tried her battery with the same results. No lights, vibrations, nothing. Plugged it into my computer to see if I could get any response and still nada. Tried Fastboot and device is not found. UGH. If anyone can give me any advice on what to try feel free to chime in. I've been around long enuff to realize that I'm pretty sure it's toast. Either way... it's been a nice run.

Take it off charge and pull the battery out. Let it sit for a while (1 hour at least) without the battery. Put your wife known working battery in and cross your fingers.

I don't imagine it shows as charging when plugged in? Otherwise I'd send it for repair or just buy a new phone. :/

No it doesn't show as charging at all. Won't find device in adb, no lights, no vibration when trying to power on, nothing. It does get warm when the battery is in it tho. And it is discharging somehow, because I tried my battery in my wifes phone and it showed 33 % when I know it had a full charge before it died. GNex is on its way.
i just have had same problem days ago , unfortunately i tried all , even Odin , just non-responsive
i also tried that unbrickable tool run under Ubuntu , still no good ...
i just send it to repair... Gosh

Same Problem here. It was working fine on jelly bean and rooted with clock work recovery. I removed the battery out to change the sim and now it wont power on, fastboot doesn't work and the USB JIG also doesn't work, doesn't show the charging animated when plugged in.
i tried AdamOutlers Resurector tool, it didnt detect the phone, so i made the hardware mod and now it detect the phone, but still dead after the tool loads the files. but when i choose GALAXY S from the drop down menu, the tool and the phone, both shows download mode, heimdall detect the phone but doesnt work as it is not a GALAXY S.
At least now you have a reason to upgrade. But that sure sucks, if you still want to revive it you could give this a shot... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecp8jKmm48k
Three people with Nexus S's with Jelly Been roms just spontaneously get bricked phones? Just flashed mine to CM10 Nightly yesterday...
Hmmmm
I'm not sure if I would call mine a true bricking since most bricks happen directly from a rom flash. Mine was actually working fine for a couple of days after my last flash and then suddenly stopped working. It was an almost 2 year old phone and heavily abused internally with almost daily rom/kernel flashes and overclocking. I think maybe it just got tired LOL. Oh well...we have 2 other Nexus S's in our house, so now we have a decent parts phone since externally the phone is flawless.
Try cleaning your the phone's usb slot with a toothbrush and medical alcohol. also after removing your battery, try pressing the power button for 10 Secs(without battery) this cleans any extra charges in your phone. Gd luck!
Sounds more like hardware failure than bricking.

i read something that is problme of bootloader that messes with hummingbird CPU or something , i don't know
i had flashed the latest bootloader and 4.1 once it came out , but then i back to 4.0.4 and decided wait for AOKP JB.
and , my phone was also unable to power up after i pull out and change a new battery ! , first of all i was thinking battery's unstable output current damaged hardware or something , but now i am more convinced it should be the problem of bootloader as i read before

If I'm understanding you correctly, the phone vibrates 7 times when you plug it into the phone. So what happens when you reboot holding power and volume down? What happens when you just reboot the phone? Please be more specific and give more details.
i try with power on + volume down. nothing happen only vibrate again for 7 times

I am having the same issue on stock software. I bought this used off craigslist a few weeks ago, I used it for a day to check it out and swapped to a Galaxy Nexus. I tried last week and it started doing the 7 vibration thing, so I ordered a new battery and no luck.
ok so your phone maybe briked on a slow task \
step 1 take out battery
step 2 put battery back in
step 3 put this file go this ling scroll down till u see attachment PD98img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037474
step 4 then put it on the root of your sd card
step 5 hold down the volume and power at same time for about 20 minute till the white screen pop out then leave it there charging
till it ask u for update click volume up for yes and let it do its thing but ill take long procces
Hope this helped ^_^

mine does the same thing. it never goes to bootolader. always stays stuck on htc screen. vibrates like heck for a couple minutes. after awhile, the phone goes to the rom i flashed...i get temp access to it, then it keeps restarting. i took the sim card out and sometimes the phone is operable, then others it is not. i totally think i bricked my phone.
when i am able to get into the restart part(holding power down and restarting with bootloader or recovery) and all it does is restart over and over.
had the same problem.
hey there....
yesterday i had the same issue i was on FB (hehe) when the phone just froze.
i tried to reboot it and then got the 7 wonderful vibrations,
now i tried to reset it buy many ways and nothing seems to work. still black screen 7 vibrations and nothing more.
im really lost don't know what to do next i haven't change the phone rom or updated it and didn't install an app lately that could have caused this mess.
what are my options? yes of course i can go to a lab and try to fix it but im trying to keep it to the last resort.
thanks !

Well i was in the middle of typing towards my mom on whatsapp and my screen turned off and no response at all from the phone.
Holding power button nor plugging in the device gives any sign of life.
The battery was still well over half full and i have never had issues with batterylife before.
So did my One S really just die on me?! How could this had happened?!
I never did any OC or changed kernels, only used Venom (for Sense 4+) and Trickdroid (for Sense 5) roms..

For how long do you hold power button? Try 15/20/30 seconds.

1. Yep did, nothing happens. At least, not in the past ~30min..

Just to be 100% sure it's off hold the power button for around 10 sec even if lights don't flash... Then leave it on charge for 24hr or so u may not get the charging light straight away; once it's charged see if u can access bootloader

Maybe you can try changing USB cables and try charging it for a while with PC. It's worked for some guys.
Otherwise, it's time for a warranty claim.

Yeah doing that now, this worked before when the battery was fully drained on other phones. But since my battery wasn't even half way empty, i doubt it's the same problem.

Yeah already wrote to Elevate, got the phone from them not even 6 months ago..
Really surprises me how this phone has nothing but issues, while my old Sensation is still alive and kicking without a single issue :|
Donno what i did, but i picked up the phone, smashed it a couple of times in the palm of my hand out of anger and it turned on with still 56% battery, so it wasn't that.
I'm just glad it started working again, but **** knows what happened there, surely wasn't fun :|

Hi guys.
so just picked up my phone (was connected to charger) to realize that is dead! the screen is totally black,no charging/notification lights and touch buttons are not illuminated and wont power on or take a charge. tried to connect to pc but adb keeps saying "waiting on device" and thats it.
the phone is unlocked,rooted, jmz TWRP recovery and cm11.....has been running fine for the past week.
it appears to have died a sudden death....any ideas guys ???
cheers
EDIT: dunno what the hell happened as nothing was turning it back on BUT after after holding down power button and volume down for about a minute the damn thing booted up SORTED!!

Can you get into recovery mode?
Hi,
I have the exact same problem.
I cannot get into recovery. I tried Power + Vol. Up but that did not work (yet).
Did you leave it plugged into the wall charger while doing this, Braddison?
Also it does not show up on PC.

If I remember correctly I had it on charge and held down power and vol up. It did take a couple of minutes continuously holding down the buttons. Been fine ever since
If that fails try power and volume down for about 30seconds, I'm sure that's meant to hard reset phone
Thanks for your quick answer. I will try once more.
Same dead HTC One Mini here...two days ago the phone suddenly turned off (with somewhat of 80%-90% battery) and since then its dead. No LED, no charging, it even doesnt get warm when its being plugged into the charger. Pressed Power+Volume down (plugged or non-plugged) more than 2 minutes, and also Power+Volume Up more than two minutes.
adb shows no device. If i plug the phone into an USB-slot in a linux-machine dmesg doesnt says anything. So its dead or not? Since its not more than a half year old it should have warranty, but i think i wont get my photos and stuff. So this is an advioce to myself: never ever buy a phone without micro-sd-slot again!!!
cheers, jennix

I would try again after putting on charge for a few hours, ensuring that power and volume down are pressed simultaneously. i have read that its best to do this while in a bright room or shining a torch on the sensor, seems strange i know but its worth a try
good luck

thanks! Just sent mine to HTC, hope they fix it within warranty. Can I ask if ur data on the internal SD is stil intact or did you lose it all? And again someone with cm11 installed. Anyone with Sense had the same problem?
I have the exactly same problem, my phone was rooted with CM11 nightly when it died. I sent it to my carrier, but now they want me to pay 200$ for a new motherboard, because they found it was rooted and the warranty is voided. Even when I pay 200$, i still will have no warranty. And I had more than 1 year left. Is there a problem with CM11? How comes that they replace it for some people for free, and for some not? Please, give me a tip how to proceed and do I really have any options from this point?
These horror stories make me wanna stick to stock based roms. I'm a big fan of CM, but not if there's a chance it could fudge my mainboard.. real shame
or is this another example of another design fault with this phone?....
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
As they have to replace the motherboard it is an hardware issue, where I live rooting doesnt void warranty if there is an hardware issue. They have to give you warranty. Could you ask your carrier what exactly caused it and why the motherboard had to be replaced?

Hey. I sent it directly to AVARTO (service center here in Germany) they too wanted to charge me (around $ 240). Then I asked what exactly the problem was and they revised their statement. Sent it back for free within warranty. On the repair sheet it than said "not turning on. constantly".
Hi.
Another dead mini. S-OFF, TWRP, CM11.
Hello,
Ive tried to look for a similar situation in other thread but each case is different so i open a new one.
This morning, when i took my idol 3 the screen did not switch off when pressing power button. I thought it was battery but when i plugged charger,nothing happened except the led is on continuously. I kept power button pressed for 10 seconds. The phone vibrates shortly but still a black screen, no sound and no reaction from the touch panel. Power+vol+ did not led me to my twrp recovery. What can i do now to get it work again? The phone is rooted with Rom Eu 4.2 from murigny64 and it is the first time i encounter this issu. Thanks in advance for helping me
Tonight i disconnected the battery for about 30min then connect it again. Then i tried to start in recovery: Just a vibration but no display and no sound. I unplugged/plugged the battery again and try to start. Same problem. What the hell could happen? Maybe a deffective hardware
Insist on boot ( normal or in to recovery with vol + and power).
That is a hardware brick.
Happened to me to some times, insist, it will unbrick

Can be, can be to... To bad if is battery.
But still trying to boot, is very difficult to.
.
thank you for advise but it's still not working. I spend about 30 minutes trying different combination of button: power pressed until it vibrate, power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up & down, discontinuous press of power with charger and no charger....and so on. Its a complete failure.
If it is the battery, there was no sign of weakness before (short life, random shutoff, ....) . It happen suddenly: I lock my screen before sleeping and the next morning no way to switch it on again.
I thought I would avoid problems for long with a twrp recovery, a backup and adb tools on my pc.....but for hardware issues its useless.
How can I be sure it is battery before purchasing another one ?

If it was the screen the touch panel would work and i could sense vibration when typing the pin code no?
The led bright continuously when i plug instead of flashing slowly as it used to do when charging. That why i think its battery.
...and when i start in recovery the phone is not detected on my pc
That's hardware brick. Don't give up, try to boot, normally or in recovery, keep trying it will boot.
Have you tried to open the phone and disconnect battery? Custom ROMs made me similar issue a few times.

Therefore the back can be dismantle and we can access battery and that s what i did.
Yes i disconnected it for several hours and pluged it again but it gave me the same result. And now it doesnt vibrate anymore when i keep the power button pressed a while.
I purchased a battery on internet and im waiting for delivery to test if im right or not. Il feedback about the test.
Anyway its nice from you to look for any solution. Thanks

I guess you did everything properly, so just one thing: at first time when I did this, I choosed the wrong cable (which didn't 'reset' the phone), so I hope you pulled both out.

Hello,
I received the new battery today.
So i unpacked it, i unplugged the old one and plugged the new one ...and guess what happened......the same bevahiour as with the old battery: when i press the button power, it vibrate but it doesnt start neither in recovery nor in normal mode.
I just precise that the new battery is charged at 50%........:crying:
So the problem is not the battery but it was the only thing i could test by myself before sending the phone to alcatel for repair.
Im still wondering what could happen to my idol 3: It had been woking perfectly for months and one morning with no warning, it refuse to switch on. Ok sorry for annoying us and hope it wont happen with yours.
I hope alacatel will apply the guarantee although the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked....because its a hardware issue i think.
Hello,
Just to conclude. The phone got back from repair after 10 days. They have changed motherboard, battery and also the back that was damaged. Its a brand new phone .
