Ok so I have a sprint nexus s 4g that has never been rooted/modded or anything. It all of a sudden won't boot android now, it just stays at the "Google" logo, so I guess it is bricked but I have no idea how it got to this state. I am able to boot into recovery and download mode so I did a factory reset and wiped cache but still I was unable to boot. USB debugging was disabled when the phone was bricked so I am unable to use adb and fastboot. I managed to re-flash the stock rom via odin which unlocked the bootloader (odin actually recognized the phone in download mode), but still I have had no success... is there any way to get into android or is this a hardware problem? (i'm okay with rooting I've done it a couple times with another device) this is just a spare phone that I have to just mess around with since I recently got my upgrade.

So I am facing a bit of a situation. My tab, I815, will only boot into download mode. I was using the tab, when it completely froze up so I powered it down by long pressing the power button. Tried to boot back up, stuck in a boot loop. Tried to go into recovery to do a reset, but am unable to get into recovery. Thought maybe something happened to my recovery partition so I booted into download mode and reflashed CWM, everything looked ok on ODIN, so I once again tried to boot into recovery and nothing. So let's see if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this. I can only boot into download mode and the lack of factory ODIN files for the I815 is making this into a problem. Any ideas?
Also I no longer use verizon for service so I do not care about the LTE service. The I815 and the 6800 have the same partitions. Do you think it would be possible to use a factory ODIN firmware from the 6800? I know I wouldn't have any cell service, but I am now only using it as a WiFi tab anyway.
Greetings,
When I was flashing via odin stock rom somehow it got stuck on setup connection and I had to close it. Since then the tablet wouldnt boot into recovery mode and wont boot at all. It goes to first samsung logo and gets blank. I tried flashing stock roms even with options repartition via odin in download mode but no luck.
Any insights people?

I have this same problem. Bump.
Hey guys, I only suggest the following, cause I had the same problem after flashing via odin.
In fact it happened to me more than once since I forgot the solution after a while ...
Make sure you unplug the USB cable from your tablet before trying to get into recovery mode.
That did it for me both times - once with my S4 and just recently with my Tab 2...
Hi,
Today my phone was drained and I left it charging from my laptop. 3-4 hours later I tried to boot it but with no luck.
Also now it was very warm. After some trial and error - and possibly because the phone now was cooler - I was able to boot into fastboot.
But I can't get past the HTC logo. In fastboot I have tried to reflash the boot.img from CM10.2. I have also reflashed a recovery - but still
I can't boot into recovery or CM.
I also tried to unlock the phone but when doing so, I don't get send to the last screen, where I actually unlock the phone (it was already unlocked, it was just a test)
My suspicion is that the internal storage has been fried when the phone overheated - since it seems like that fastboot says it's writing but in fact I doubt that the phone actually wrote anything.
How can I know? Apart from the dead phone, all my pictures are lost in there too.
I would love a little help...

In bootloader menu (that with fastboot) you can go to recovery.
Now recovery is broken. Re-flash or flash another recovery. you will now when it's ok. It let you do your work.
In that same menu you have Factory reset. But this erase all in your phone (and SD card)!
Try reflashing stock recovery... Let it do what it needs to do in recovery and then flash whatever custom recovery you have.
I bricked my phone while downgrading from the Brazilian lollipop to Asian Kit Kat, I did it directly which I think was my mistake. My phone won't boot up android or even the recovery (twrp). When I do a fastboot and choose recovery it will reboot into the recovery and show the flickering screen (different from the one you get after downgrading) and shows the android symbol with a warning sign. I tried to flash a new cm12 while the recovery was working and it said it was successful, which caused the damage to the recovery. At that point my phone could no longer be detected by my windows PC (tried on a different PC with ubuntu). I took my phone to some stores thinking it can be repaired but they failed, they only managed to get the recovery to work again (cwm). I tried installing a cm12 again using otg, it seemed as if it was successful but when I restarted my phone it failed and broke the recovery again. I just left the phone till it ran out of battery since it won't turn off. I'm hoping someone out there might have a solution, I tried most of what I could find on the net but alas.
Is there no one with a solution :crying:
Ive been running KangVIP with no problems, however I got some adware which refused to go away, so I attempted to factory reset via the phones menu. It then ended up stuck at the TWRP screen. This has happened before so next I tried to restore a previous backup...not successful. I can't access fastboot and rescue to flash the official recovery.
Anyone got any help? Is there a guide to flashing the stock rom or have I borked my phone?
You can not shut down the device and connect it via USB to a PC and boot while holding volume down button into fastboot mode?
Well then you have ruined your phone.
I'm OP, was unable to get into my usual account last night. I'm not sure how, but holding volume up, down and power seemed to kick start it back to life and I'm back running KangVIP. I don't think I'll be resetting it again for a very long time.

I'm not sure whether it was luck or not, but all I did was to go into TWRP and then chose the Mount option, unmounted everything, then went to Reboot and chose Bootloader - that got me back to fastboot where I was able to flash the stock recovery, do a factory reset and get my phone back.
