Bricked my Nexus?

Hi guys,
A little help would be appreciated here as I think i've bricked my SNS just now..
I was following this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878446 in an attempt to flash clockworkmod to then flash something else however:
I get to step 14 after booting into recovery and a whole bunch of e:/ errors are shown, mainly around the Cache when in the cwm recovery screen.
I attempted to flash the stock ROM as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 (Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
However this error'd and went back to the cwm screen with the e:/ errors.
The phone will now not boot past the Google logo with the unlocked padlock on the screen.
Any ideas atall? I've tried factory wipe/cache/devlik wipe ect but the errors are still showing?
Thanks in advanced!

i had experienced same problem " E:/ errors"
try use newer or older version of recovery , that's how i solved it ...
can you still be able to enter fastboot ? if so , you can flash new recovery img via adb
if you can't ,that's gonna be kinda problem , i suggest you try Odin ...although it could be little more complicated then recovery

Thanks for replying.. How do I get into Fastboot if it doesn't boot though? + what command do I use to get there from a Mac?
I've used odin before so am aware of how it works, but wouldn't know which files to flash if you know what I mean?
Edit: Im using cwm 3.0.0 by the way, not sure if that helps?

To enter fastboot when phone is off just hold the volume up button and the power button at the same time

anyways you dont have to root manually if u dont want to because the custom roms here which you can flash via CWM are already rooted.

Can't access Odin, frozen fastboot

Hi,
I tried to restore my Nexus S (european, GT-I9023) which has a broken power button before sending it to Samsung for repair.
I just screwed my ROM flash using Clockworkmod and now my phone only shows a beautiful Google screen.
When I try to use fastboot screen (using vol+/vol-) nothing moves, and even if it moved I wouldn't be able select any option as my power button is broken. I can't also access Odin (vol+ and vol- pressed when the phone is off) as I can't turn off my phone.
What can I do to flash my rom? May I send it to Samsung anyway?
Thanks for your answers!

I am also facing the exact same problem. Can someone kindly guide us please?

Switch off. Press Volume Up and plug in the charging cable. Now, see if you tackle with the Fastboot mode.

He might not be able to. When the power button breaks, it stays in a "on" state and that messed up fastboot as it doesn't let you scroll or initialize properly.

If your rom starts booting (you see a quick flash after initial Google logo) you might be able to ADB from there (while it's not booting and the rom logo is showing, I know weird but often works). Check it out.
Edit: Oh and if you get adb access, then what you want to do is "reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery, and then wipe/flash a rom and whatnot.

You are absolutely right. The phone thinks that the power button is pressed and doesn't let us move up and down using the volume keys.
Also, even if I get adb access after the Google logo, how do I use fastboot mode? I actually wanted to flash a recovery as my Power button doesn't work even in the recovery. Moreover, I can boot into recovery without adb, from inside the rom power menu.
So adb doesn't help here

What recovery do you currently have? All custom recoveries enable you to scroll with menu and home key, go back with the back key and select with the search key. So if you can get adb while it's "not booting" and reboot to your custom recovery, then you can navigate, mount usb and transfer a rom if needed or flash one that is on your phone.
Edit: Also, I was under the impression you couldn't boot your ROM. If you can, what is it exactly that you are trying to do??

I have ClockworkMod (CWM) 6.0.2.5 Non-Touch from this thread:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032337
I flashed this earlier when my power button was working. And I have tried all the capacitive buttons. None of them work with this recovery. That's why I was looking forward to flashing a touch based recovery.

From the same thread you can simply download any of these (highly suggest ClockworkMod (CWM) 5.8.0.2 Touch, one if not the most reliable) and flash them from within your current CWM.

Dear sir,
Please understand. That's what I am trying to tell you. I cannot use power button or any other button to select anything in the recovery. So how will I install this one?

Ok let's get this right
What is your goal? Flash a different recovery? Then you can flash a recovery from within something such as ROM Manager if your rom still boots.

Yes sir, my goal is to flash a touch based recovery just so that I can flash new ROMs and kernels without the help of the power button.
Koushik charges for in-app flashing of CWM Touch which is otherwise free. So that's the main issue here. I guess I'll have to live with it

Ok.
You can use this Flash Image GUI to flash a recovery of your choice from within Android then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453617
It's free. Make sure to download the right recovery for your device and select recovery image in Flash Image GUI.

You sir, are my hero... Many thanks for this :highfive: :victory:

If you are flashing a touch version of CWM recovery, I highly suggest v6.0.1.0. The later version (up to 6.0.2.5) have a bug that will make you unable to mount the SD card within the recovery. Otherwise TWRP is very interesting, but backups made with CWM are not compatible with TWRP.

Thanks, I'll try TWRP this time

did you try to wipe/cache or do a factory reset then reboot. Question - Is this your first time ever rooting any android device? do you know how to use adb? since you can simply push the Su zip file over to your device from recovery

now if thats all you did I would wipe cache and try and restart. ADB tutorials are all over
Edit: How did you root - you used a toolkit?

Either use the Advanced Reboot options in the power menu or turn your phone off and hold the volume down+power button till it vibrates. ±15 seconds and you are in your recovery.

YUynique stuck at cyanogen fastboot screen and not getting into Recovery by key..

So, after testing uninstalling CM13 I decided to restore nand_backup, everything went well. but now I can't boot into "recovery" by key combination(vol_up+power) it always stuck at "cyanogen_fastboot" screen, I'v tried fastboot method and from there I can access twrp but key combination don't work.
No key combination is working(maybe I don't know the key combination), anyone know any workaround?

1.Poweroff your device
2.press vol_up+power
3.keep pressing until it boot into twrp.
By this process you can bypass cyanogen_fastboot screen & boot into twrp.

After you switch of your phone press volume up first then the power and keep perssing both until you see twrp, and you can also do that from the fastboot mode. It's still working in my phone buddy.

change key
Power+volume down check this... It worked for me.... Msg if it works...
