any way to unroot nexus s with a broken power button!?!?!

I bought the black tie from best buy and I want to send in my phone for repair because my power button doesn't do anything, but first......... Can someone please tell me how I can revert to stock settings as in having a locked boot loader and a stock build........I currently have cm7 (the old unfinished one since it broke like 4 months ago)
I just decided I cant take it anymore since sometimes the anyunlock app makes my phone unlock in my pocket and stays on all day and drains the battery super fast!
please help me with my dilemma! :C

no replies :/

Try to boot in recovery with rom manager and select fast boot mode .

I cant select anything since the power button (select button in this case) doesnt work
Or am I on another page here? lol

open rom manager app, then select reboot in recovery then fastboot and selects instead of taking your power button select the search button it work!

maybe different model?

Use fastboot from your PC. Everything is controlled from CMD Prompt. Look at Pete's tutorial. Just need to setup the drivers. Check the stickies.

doesnt black tie give you a new phone right there?
also try, inserting the battery in while its plugged in. It may turn on automatically.

If ur bootloader is unlocked, switch off the fon, connect the phone to computer by pressing both volume keys and connect the using data cable. Ur fon wil enter into download mode. So u can flash rom and all with odin.

Are you holding both volume keys the entire time and removing the battery? Sounds like maybe you are forgetting to do one of these things.

Ok I have followed the instructions
But now the instructions for
Booting into Clock work mod recovery

You have to hold volume down then power when the phone is completely off hold both keys tell the white lg Logo is gone then you should see recovery if you see a software update screen then you didn't flash recovery right

After that would it be rooted already or do I have to do something else with it?
I'm trying to freeze some boat ware to maximize the speed of the g2x
And before the update I had used super one click and it was easy from there
The apps I had before say error no root privileges
So I'm lost, I have looked it up on here but I guess I'm not looking for my answers correctly....

did u try a battery pull? Take it out and let it sit for a few minutes, then put it back and hold power button for at least 20 secs

I did a few battery pulls just hoping it would work. Is there anything else I could try?

I don't think any of romracer's "stockish" kernels have uv/oc patching.

In that case. That sucks. Use your warranty. Your phone killed itself. What a shame

This happened to me as well. I was browsing the web and the phone just died and wouldn't show any signs of life. Tried everything including buying the Samsung Jtag dongle. I got it replaced but now am really concerned about rooting it and loading a new rom. I was on Sky ICS 6.35.

ICS screencapture

I think no one has asked this. Does the ICS leak should have come with a screencapture.apk that will work like the gb roms where we just press power+home key?

Home+Power still works.

Its not an apk. If you flashed ICS its default volume down + power. If it doesn't work I'd suggest factory reset of reflash.

Tried that a few times... vol - and home... phone just goes to task manager or shuts off

Home and power work for me but you have to have it timed just right. Press one before the other and it won't be a screen capture. And make sure you hold it for a second or two (after you get the timing just right). It should copy the screen to the clipboard.

I've never had issues with screenshot you have to press them at exactly the same time
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Vol down and pwr worked great on UCLD2 as well as home and pwr. In UCLE2, only home and pwr works. No biggie but timing is crutial. Vol down and pwr was more forgiving... to me at least.

Both methods are not working for me
4.0.4 UCLE2

Ever since I got ICS its been PWR + Vol Down for a couple seconds
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Power + volume down works for me on any ICS ROM. The trick is to press the buttons at exactly the same time not one then the other, and hold them for a few seconds.

Oddly, it seems once I got it the first time, it now works every time no problem.
Good luck!

Power/lock button not working!

Hey guys as the topic says my lock button ain't responding!..
All was fine until today my phone suddenly hanged and I took off my battery to restart the phone but tit turned on on its own without pressing the power button !..and now when I try to lock the device or turn it off it ain't working!:
I am thinking is it the ROM issue (I'm using official cm7) or hardware issue(key is broken)...
Please help!

A Guy in my neighborhood runs a repair shop and I took my fit to him!..he said that its not a hardware fault but indeed it's a software defect!..He said that in such a case mostly 80% it is a software defect! ..
So I was planning to flash a stock ROM can anyone provide me with the link of latest Indian Firmware for Galaxy Fit?..(along with a small procedure,if possible) ...
Thanx guys!..

It's not an Official CM7 prob. But, since, it seems nothing except repairing ur phone... you should give it a try. Try to flash both stock firmwares one by one, and see whether it's back to normal.It doesn't matter which one u flash first. Flash either four pkg firmware or one pkg.(depends on U).:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Download stock ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
In Search write s5670 and you now have ROMs for download.
After download ROM.zip, extract it.
You now have MD5 File. Flash this 4 MD5 File with ODIN.
This is an example:

Power button issue
Hey admin I have this strange issue with my fit !
Whenever I charge my phone with a different charger of the same specs or if i overcharge my phone the power button responds like its a touchscreen button or so !
I do not need to press the button !
Even if I roll a finger over it it would lock or unlock n may switch off or reboot at random !
Plz solve this thing !
Note: already tryd numerous ROMs !
currently on MII v4 !

Hey i facing the same problem here.
my power button has been broken for a year.
But when i go to service centre, they said they must change all of sparepart. because the thing that broke is the main machine.
I dont know they're trying to trick me or not

i had same problem earlier but not now..
There was a time when my Galaxy fit device started acting weirdly like trunng off automatically, frequent hangs, etc. But i was okay with all those things till my power off button suddenly stopped working at all. Although i still was able to go to safe mode and recovery mode but it wasn't working during normal operations. Till than i was usuing the old FORYO 2.2 version of android. I thought maybe upgrading to Gingerbread can solve the problem. So i tried upgrading my device through Samsung kies. Unfortunately due to slow internet or some other issue i wasn't able to upgrade my device.
Than i finally upgraded my device manually through Odin. All my hopes were dashed when i noticed that my power off button was still not working. Than i flashed various roms like Jana Rom and finally i'm using stock rom.
After using this rom for about 1.5 years one day i suddenly noticed that my power off button started working miraculously. One of my friend who also use Galaxy fit had same problem but his power off problem was automatically fixed quite earlier than me. So i guess it would be best if you wait long enough and hope that the power off button would one day started working again.
