[Q] Nexus S Boot Loop power button broken - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I got my Nexus S stuck in a boot loop and my power button is broken too.. I also failed to check usb debugging while I was still able to boot, so I guess adb isn't going to find my device.. (already tried that, but even Windows/Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my device). Will I ever be able to get out of this boot loop?

You should try the usb jig.. Is a little device that brings the the phone to download mode.. You can then flash any rom with odin..
You can find the jig here..
The download mode. Just to know what to expect..

Okay, I bought the jig. It was delivered pretty fast
But I tried Odin, the way it should work (official firmware for I9023 which is my model), it worked (or at least I thought it did) because it gave me this:

My phone rebooted and the home and search button lighted up, then only the menu key and the back key joined not that long after that. But nothing on my screen or anything. So I guess I really killed it. I've let it sit there for about 10 minutes, then pulled the battery out and tried rebooting, but the same procedure started and nothing else really happened..

I had this problem with the back and the menu keys not working and was solved with factory reset..

Apparently I just flashed the wrong firmware.. Got mine from samsfirmware.com or whatnot. But after a few hours of endless Googling I found this:

the GRI40 worked for me Now it's up and running again and going smooth as butter hope I can help a few people with this.

[Completed] Tablet stuck in downloading mode

Hey guys,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro and now i have a huge problem. I rooted it a long time ago and decided to install TWRP today via TWRP Managaer from Play Store.
I guess i did something wrong. After the app told me that the installation of TWRP was successful, i restarted the tablet. Now the screen says: "downloading, do not turn of the device". And i warted for about 1 hour and nothing changed. I cant event shut down the tablet. If I hold the Power key, it only restarts. The only thing i can do is go to ODIN mode.
But i am kind a newbie and i have no clues what to do now. Any help is welcome. Thanks guys.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You probably have to flash the stock firmware with Odin and start the process all over. Try here for help first, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-how-to-root-install-custom-recovery-t3087451. Also see your device's forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8. That is the best place to get help in the future.
Hey, thanks for your help. I just tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. But it always says that it Failed.

I tried on differend USB ports and installed differend Drivers. I've no idea what i should do now.
Hi, the only other things I can suggest is to:
Re-download the firmware file and check its md5
It's good you tired different usb ports. Make sure they're the ones in the back of the pc and 2.0, not 3.0
Try different cables
Keep trying. Odin can be finicky. I've has it fail many times and then for some unknown reason it'll work.

If someone could help me as well I'm having a similar problem. I have tried using multiple Odin versions and many stock SM-G900P 4.4.2 firmwares from multiple sources, but always have the same messages pop up.

USB debugging is on and Odin does recognize the device is connect, I have also already installed the drivers again just to be sure. I have used Odin before with no trouble maybe its the fact the phone is from sprint and on lollipop since sprint is stingy on unlocking -_-. If someone could point me in the right direction or 100% working firmware links I'd appreciate it. I have also tried going about this through Heimdall and failed not even being able to obtain the pit file. If someone could provide a working one I'd also appreciate it I am fully aware it may brick the phone as everything else may do. Or show me the me the step by step to flash with Heimdall with a .tar. I'll take any advice thank you
you can try the newer firmware ok4
maybe this will work . unzip and place md5 in ap slot of odin

I have the same problem myself and it took me a few minutes to realize what the problem is. I just got a new phone from Sprint because my other one the USB port was basically broken I couldn't connect or charge. So after a few failed attempts at flashing a ROM I decided to look at my firmware and realized that it was the new updated bog1 version. Sprint decided to lock all the boot loaders so as of this moment I don't know how to flash any ROM or downgrade as the bootloader will not let you. As a matter of fact just last night I was walking into Walmart I pulled my phone out of my pocket to look at it and it was just finishing up installing some security policy updates. My phone then immediately restarted and got stuck at the spark screen. Just the fact that I was rooted sent my phone into a boot loop. As of right now the only thing I can do is reflash the stock bog 1. I have managed to get access to this one and I'm working on modifying the bootloader in anyway I can. I'm a little newer to this but I catch on pretty quick. As of now I have all the permissions unlocked for me to access all the files in that stock bog1 rom but haven't found a way to make them stick yet. I'm going to have to break down each individual file and hopefully I can come up with a solution or anybody for that matter because I'm a few months away from my contract being up and if I can't root my phone and customize it I don't want it. If they want my phone lock down and toddler mode then they can pay for it that's how I look at it lol. Make sure you turn off automatic security updates. There's also a post in here of how to clean that out so you don't have the newest security policy update. I know the exact file the bootloader is in but haven't found a way to get into it or modify it yet even though I have permission. It shows it copying /deleting but doesnt change. There is way too many people in this world to not have someone come up with a solution by now and anytime I search for it I get results from a year to five years ago , hardly anything recent thanks google. I also posted on times and started a thread I'm trying but I'm not as advanced as some of these developers on here but I am determined lol
I finally got it to boot up. Just took like 20 mins. Now it boots sometimes while others it won't and says process has stopped responding after the yellow screen. Why does it do this. The rom is official rom directly off Samsung kids.
may have cracked bootloader BOG1 G900P
i have been playing in thr sys files and today i managed to get a custom animation boot installed. after that i flashed a modded bog1 file from philz. it took and succesfully booted and am now reinstalling all my apps. i think i over wrote or blocked my bootloader. ill get back when i know for sure:laugh:

Is there any solution or Idea to run my good,old S3?
I would be very thankful if someone could help me with my problem.
Sorry for my english, but I hope you know what I want to say

N8010 stuck in boot loop displaying Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1

Hello,
My tablet was working fine, but the other day when I turned it on this happens. I can at least turn it off when connected to the charger.
It will not boot into recovery. I just get the android on his back with red triangle and No Command.
I can boot into Odin download. So I am trying to install CF-Auto-Root as a precursor to installing CWM Recovery to see if I can boot into that recovery. I have downloaded and installed Odin, and downloaded N8010 version of CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifiww-p4notewifixx-gtn8010).
Using Odin to install this .tar file seems to work (I get Pass), but auto reboot, or manual reboot into recovery is still the same. Isn't booting into CF-Auto-Root. This is the Odin log;
