Hey, i was having trouble with a reoccurring issue with my nexus s: the search button would fire on it own making it almost impossible to use my phone. The nexus was rooted and had clockworkmod installed, so i went ahead and flashed a 2.3.4 version of gingerbread. after the flash was complete, the phone would not turn on whatsoever. not even a boot logo, the screen is just black. cannot even get it into recovery mode.
help would be much appreciated.

are you able to boot it into bootloader (vol up + power button)?
Guys i gotta ask...i mean i flash rom soo many times that my phone is bound to get bricked some day...although nothing has happened till now(knock knock).is there any solution to a hard bricked device..?
kevin, thanks, im unable to turn the phone on whatsoever. not even able to get into the bootloader
Can you adb or fastboot it or is it completely gone?

You have to be pretty unlucky to REALLY brick one of those, assuming you took the proper steps when first rooting it. Nandroid backup + EFS backup = almost bulletproof.

So you don't see any Google logo when you turn it on? Don't get any vibration either?
Could be the BGA failing. That's one of the most common physical problem for the Nexus S, with the power button failure and the softkeys starting to active like they were possessed.

No I'm unable to do anything, can't even get my computer to recognize the phone, I'm beggining to lose hope I feel like I've tried everything. No boot loader, no recovery, just a blank screen with no response whatsoever. I believe I may have flashed an incorrect rom and corrupter the boot loader or something along those lines, at least thats what
my friend believes
Thanks
You could try the UnBrickable Resurrector

I attempted using that as well, but it won't recognize the phone. It reads ``no device detected``

Hi guys,
So I think I f^&*ed up royally. I got the official jellybean update, but of course, not to be content with what I had, I tried to flash CWM recovery on it using fastboot.
It didn't work. I tried to reboot to recovery and it would just freeze, so I would have to force a hard reboot.
No big deal, right? I'll just flash TWRP. I tried to initiate fastboot again and it would just freeze again...
So I rebooted once again (holding vol down) and tried the factory reset option... surely that would fix my problem, right? WRONG! It tried to boot recovery (which is now a non-working CWM) and it totally sh*t the bed. I cannot boot the tablet now nor will it do anything when I try to hold vol down. It just sits at the boot screen no matter what I do.
If there anything I can do, or am I totally screwed? My bootloader is unlocked, so I believe the warranty is void.
Help, please?

As your bootloader is unlocked, like mine -- Asus doesn't have an obligation to help per the "Revised" warranty the Unlocking process warned you about.
Asus does have representatives that hang around here, so give them a holler and see if they'll help. I've e-mailed both Gary Key and Asus_USA about my/our situation.
Well u do have APX mode... is there a day to do something with that?

You were locked, got OTA, and then flashed custom recovery?
Or you were unlocked, returned to stock, flashed jb and then custom recovery?

You hit the nail on the head with the second guess. I was unlocked, returned to stock, got the OTA update, then tried to install recovery with fast boot. Now bricked. Can't boot, can't get into fast boot or anything. Vol down doesn't do anything. I can get into apx mode, if only I knew what to do with it.
I've been trying to figure this out. But so far nothing. I've tried flashing cm10 images in fastboot. I built a recovery and used it to try and go back to stock but it give me a mismatch error. I tried flashing cm10 in recovery and everything takes me back to asus screen. Any other ideas I could try?
I would love to be able to use my tablet again.

Okay.
I am so lucky for now!!!
Same situation but, flashed twice recovery with goo app(twrp), didnt worh, flashed twice again twrp with fastboot, and then flashed cwm with fastboot!
And still bootable!
But recovery dont work!!
Also another user who managed to get cwm to work, had a non working recovery first, but not bricked device!
Why installing custom recovery bricks some users and others dont?

Perhaps it has something to do with how the recoveries were flashed. This only happens if you tried to REflash the recovery AFTER applying JB.
I did fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
Some people noticed they didn't have a recovery working, and didn't try reflashing. Those that did, seemed to have bricked.
There seems to be a test recovery floating around in the other thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841211&page=2
It seems all the recoveries need to be updated to the new kernel.

I created an RMA request with Asus, the fellow on the phone says it's bewteen $87 to $100 to repair the OS on a device with an unlocked bootloader. This excludes the cost of you shipping Asus the tablet. However, it includes the cost of labor, diagnostic, and shipping back to you.
For those of you weighing your options, there's one answer.
:/ If only i lived in the states i would send it to Asus for 100 bucks if its necessary. Im going to have to check with the Asus representative here in Colombia...
If you do get your tablet fixed please tell us, that would be awesome.

I'm just curious where the problems are truly coming from. I got the jb update ota, unlocked after and installed cwm recovery with no issues at all. Is it possible the wrong recovery was installed? Ii think v6 cwm is the only one that works with jb.

What I understood is that's a partitioning difference on JB... Bricked mine too, more and more showing up on these boards... I guess the more issues will show up, the bigger the chance we can have someone fix them (Not me, that's for sure )
Happened to me too. I'm hoping that ASUS will fix it for a reasonable price. Otherwise I'm just going to get a Nexus 7.

You need the dock or the USB adaptor for the Transformer. Plug in your PS3 controller with the USB cable and it should work immediately. After a few minutes of use it should work over Bluetooth when you unplug it.
This is all I do to use mine, no custom apps and not unlocked. I have root but I don't think it has any effect.

Hi im confused i have done exacly all the thing in this vide
it's went well i have got the blue line like said in the video i have type in the dos the reboot sequence it's as rebooted , i have shut down the asus pad press volume down and hold power to enter Cwm recovery and it show the same as beore i do this i go RCK , android , Usb Icon and Wipe data thats all i dont have the menu of Cwm ... so wath is the probleme did i miss a step ???? my Asus says when i reboot Device is unlocked so...dont have a clue why it's not working like on the video...
no one?
RCK is the Recovery
but you 1st have to flash a Custom recovery via fastboot.
If you have the 4 icons you are already on JB, so you need TWRP JB version to flash. The older recoveries will not work.
i have done the flash with Fastboot i have done with the help of this video How to: Root ASUS TF300 + CWM Recovery (Works on ALL Firmware) on youtube and this website has it to so i have done the exact procedur and i did not have the Cwm Recovery , i hold volume down and power the 3 line apper i press up volume a 4 line appear ans say Booting recovery kernel image and stay stuck in it , i power down the Asus and boot up normal....

I'm wondering if the video you followed didn't take into account jellybean which has different partitioning. If you like cwm, go to the Dev section and get recovery cwm v6.0.1.2. Flash it in like you did the other recovery and that should work. I can't say for sure in your case though because you've already flashed in recovery that doesn't work but I guess we Will see.

Once that's done it's fairly easy. Just fastboot flash a custom recovery. I recommend Team Rogues recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
then reboot the device, but go into recovery before the device boots or the recovery is overwritten. To get into recovery: power on, 2 seconds later press the down button, then press the up button once you see 'Android Recovery'
Then flash the zip I have attached to root the device. Choose the JB one if you're on jelly bean, anything else, so honeycomb or ICS use the other one.
From there it's the same as any other device. Backup apps etc, make a nandroid, wipe data/factory reset, install CM10

That's something to do with CM reads the device as XOOM but on stock a wingray is MZ604 so if I remember rightly that's what causes the status 7, to get around it, once rooted use a build prop editor to change your model to XOOM not MZ604. I think that's the way to get around it if my memory serves me well

Don't me hold to it, but I seem to remember others getting status 7 errors and it was just to do with how the CM zip reads your device. You can also turn off script verification in android recovery. I think that was also another solution

XDA. We've been friends for 2 years. I use to make ROMS for the ZTE blade. I think he started talking to me when I made HTC Sense with a few others on the blade. I have him the idea for Orion

I was active a lot here too. Till I shut my account down. I already have my own website. That's where the idea was set off from.
Success, CM10 is booting on my Xoom .
