[Q] Nexus s stuck on colorful boot up screen - General Questions and Answers

Nothing was done to the phone. It's all stock and bootloader is locked.
Every time I go into the bootloader no options appear, but If I use Nexus Root Toolkit it gives me the options. But when I use it reboots the phone and gets stuck and when I remove the battery and Check to see if it save it, it still lock.
When I try Recovery mode a little android robot pops up and quickly takes me to a blank screen. The keys like the home, back those light up.
I try to flash it but since bootloader is locked everything fails.

It won't Boot and shows a lock on the screen!!

hello frnds,
i am from india (duh) ...my friend bought a galaxy nexus s two days ago..
she had it up an running and it was working as it should.. but yesterday when she woke up..what she saw was that the phone won't boot up and a it shows a lock sign on the boot screen below google and that it was heating up badly... even the pc is not detecting it..i have the phone right now and i promised her that i'll fix it...
what should i do to keep up my promise!
bootloader is locked, phone won't boot
Hello,
The lock simply means that the bootloader of the phone is currently locked (as it is from the factory).
If it won't boot past the Google screen, try removing the battery of the phone for 10 seconds, then trying again.
If this fails, remove the battery again, replace the battery, hold down the UP volume button while pressing power until you see a green android screen. If you can see this screen, then use One Click Root 5.1 in the Development Thread for Nexus S or Nexus S 4G.
hmmm..
thank for the relpy,
well i have tried all that stuff i.e removing the battery for 10 sec..(didn't work)...
wen't to recovery mode(the green android thingi...) and tried recovery option won't work..
do you mean i should flash the firmware again by using one click?
thanks in advance!!:angel:
The lock sign means that the bootloader is UNLOCKED. If you didn't see the lock it would mean that the bootloader is locked (stock). The recovery option won't work because you haven't flash any custom recovery. In fastboot mode (volume up+ power button) it should say: LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED. This means that bootloader is unlocked. Use the toolkit (found in nexus s android development) to flash stock image.
Someone tried to do stuff to the phone and messed up.
thanks
i will try this let you know.:fingers-crossed:
thanks for the help:good:
What causes this though? I have codename jb And cwm 6 on my device and it randomly gets stuck on the boot screen through out the day

Another bricked one, no bootloader menu, backlight loop

I had JB, rooted, unlocked and stock recovery working just fine. I forget the update file in sd card and accidentally go into recovery mode. Screen went black. Backlight of the screen is going on and off every 30 sec.
Forced to reboot, all white boot logo with small "the device is unlocked" print comes up, after a few seconds screen goes blank, and backlight of the screen goes off and on and off again in a continuous loop. No bootloader menu, no adb no fastboot (tried every combination). I can't even turn this thing off.
My only hope is nvFlash i guess, But no good for TF300s for now.

[Q] So I'm pretty sure my phone is now bricked, can anyone assist?

Well, I am quite certain i have bricked my phone. I was trying to flash CM9 from openrecovery and everything was normal. When the phone rebooted out of OR it stayed on the M logo for quite some time. I figured usually it takes awhile so I let it go. Needless to say, it didn't boot up or do anything, it was stuck. I pulled the battery and tried to put it into recovery mode. at first it looked as if it was going to go into recovery, had the progress bar at the bottom, but then it quickly went blank and the phone rebooted. I tried again. This time it gave me the triangle with the exclamation mark. I tried accessing the recovery option to hard reset and wipe the phone both with and without the SD card by pressing Volume up + Gallery key down + camera shutter. It did nothing. I have tried to access the bootloader, but to my horror, the phone will not go into bootloader mode for me to flash with RSD! No matter what button combination I try the phone just stays on the M logo, it will not go into bootloader mode. This is both with and without the SD card inserted. Battery is/should be 90-100%.
Any suggestions on what I can do at this point? Or is all hope lost? It is a Motorola XT720 (not Motoroi) Singapore model.
I forgot to also mention, when the M logo is on screen, pressing the gallery button turns on and off the flashlight (red light)

[Q] Struck on bootloop. No usb debugging. Locked bootloader.

The power button on my N5 started acting up, like if i even press it once it will show me the power off option. After that it started to randomly reboot. Now its reboots every 2 sec showing the google logo. When it try to put it in recovery mode, it again reboots. Randomly like 20 in 1 trys it stops in the recovery mode.
1. I tried to factory data reset. I got an error msg something like " Cant mount cache ".
2. Called both Lg and goole for a replacement, but my warranty got over.
3. I unlocked the bootloader using fastboot and tried to flash stock rom, but after the first reboot bootloader command the bootloader again comes to locked status. Still after all process the phone reboots and gets to the booting animation, but it does not move past that( even after an hour).
Device was in full stock condition when this happened. Someone please help me out!!

You should ask questions in the Q&A forum. However i think that it cant be a software problem at all, its the power button, you shold take it to repairs and replace it.

Yeah, definitely sounds like a hardware power button issue. You can still contact LG to repair it for a fee even though the warranty is expired. If you don't want to do that, you (or a tech-savvy friend) can try tearing it apart to see if it's stuck or if there's residue or something like that. This article also has some suggestions, but I don't think they'll be very useful as your power button appears to be stuck down.

Moto G7 Power XT1955-5: Stuck in BootLoop at "Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted"

Moto G7 Power XT1955-5: Stuck in BootLoop at "Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted"
I made several attempts to install twrp-3.4.0-0-ocean to this new Moto G7 Power. I was able to Unlock the Bootloader, and even had TWRP running twice., but after it was rebooted it would never go back to TRWP, it would reboot to the Stock ROM. Then, runnng adb reboot bootloader would bring me back to the stock bootloader page.
Each time it boots, it has displayed the "Your Device Has Been Unlocked and Can't Be Trusted." page, and then would eventually boot. Annoying, but ok. It is what it is.
However, this last attempt to reboot from the stock bootloader has created an endless bootloop to that "Cant Be Trusted" page.
No combos of holding down the down volume for 3 seconds with the power key.. or holding down the power key for 15 or 20 seconds.. nothing works. All it does it turn the screen off for a couple of seconds and then goes back to the "Can't Be Trusted" warning page.
Well.. turns out it does work, it's just finnicky. This video showed me how to do it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA0DHvbIlWY
Holding down the Down Volume and Power for several seconds until the screen goes black, release the buttons, then waiting a moment will allow the bootloader to appear.
1- Should I replace the stock rom? If so, how? I can't boot far enough along to run adb push.. and TWRP will not run.
What I cant do now is factory restore the device. Where can I get a stock rom, or any suggestions? I am pretty sure that's what I get for trying to use the xt1955_5.img file from Minimal+adb_fastboot_platform-tools_r29.0.6_2020 on unofficialtwrp.com's how to page, right?
Thanks in advance..

Glad you're out of boot loop.
Recovered from bootloop and "dead" bootloader screen! Tips to recovery
I was able to Rescue the device from periodic BootLoops and a dead end Bootloader screen.
I referenced the information on this thread in the XDA forums, specifically the “Motorala Unbricking Tools” section.
I then tried the "LMSA: Lenovo's Motorola Smart Assistant" thread to find the link to the Lenovo / Motorola download page.
The Rescue software is a bit clunky. Powerful, but clunky.
There are also some cool tools such as Clipboard Copy Text between Device and PC, a Gif Maker, a Ringtone Maker, and a SCREEN RECORDER!!
Back on Track with the Rescue:
-Linux or Mac versions are NOT available; Windoze only.
-You will need at least 2gb of ram in your virtual Windoze7 machine to run it or it will not run in a useful manner.
- Parallels16/Windoze7-64bit worked fine.
-WINE based installs will NOT work.
To run, you will need to enable USB Debugging, although there are two other ways to connect the phone I did not also try. There even appears to be a way to rescue even a truly bricked dead device.
To Rescue your device:
Download, Install, and Run Rescue and Smart Assistant.
The Rescue process will NOT relock your bootloader.
Select the Rescue tab, then select Rescue Now. If you need to backup the device, try the Backup button right next to the Rescue Now button.
The application has some bugs, shortcomings.. here's some heads up to reduce Stress caused by those bugs..
The software will ask you to select the phone you own. The slider dialogue UI is badly done, so you will go back and forth a dozen times before learning how to navigate the menu. It might auto-recognize, but it did not on mine. Good luck!
Next, download the ROM.. the progress bar does not reflect what is actually going on. Once the 2bg down is 100% complete, it will sit there for a LONG TIME doing nothing. Dont kill the app and restart. It's actually busy unpacking the .zip Rom file into a directory tree on your harddrive. Just go eat some lunch, and come back.
Then, a similar issue occurs when you install the ROM. The progress bar is pretty much done, it just sits there doing nothing.. Let it go for a long time.. it's actually doing it's job, and the progress bar is just badly done.
If you are going to use the backup.. TURN OFF YOUR POWERSAVING stuff on both ends. If it is interupted by Power Saving/Sleep mode, the software will start at the beginning. The backup process takes hours, not minutes, so this is not a good result.
Once backed up, if you are moving to a new phone, there is a couple of ways to do that. I am going to perform these functions today or tomorrow, and will update with the results of those efforts.
