everything i can do - is boot it up, and see ind adb on my pc NOTHING WORKS

You are far from a brick. Did you make a backup? Can you get into recovery? Do you have an engineering bootloader? Did you try to load a backup? What phone do you have?

meh, there must be a way

if you can get into recovery, have you tried a full data/cache wipe?

he said he can't get into recovery.
you should try to manually flash a recovery mod on your phone through ADB shell

Now i can get into recovery, but i got cant open chache/recovery/command error
ANDD!!!!!Now i can login into ADB shell how to reflash from .img file?

Im not exactly sure, but is there any at-boot options besides recovery (I.e. hold volume up or volume down at boot and see options (im coming from Atrix which has these))? If so, try to get into an option called fastboot. Its a protocall which allows you to use the fastboot program from the Android SDK on your computer to flash new images. There are precompiled versions from HTC (search google) that allow you to connect your device using the USB cable and flash new images. As I haven't even ever seen the device, I can't help u a whole lot, sorry.

[Q] Nexus S boot loop problems

im having a very bad problem right now
my phone is stuck on the nexus s boot screen.
i can go into recovery but im stuck in the fast boot mode and i cant go into cwm that i previously had on.
it just keeps booting back to here when i select recovery
and i cant go into download mode either, it just ignores my button pressing and goes into boot loop
this happend all of a sudden on a perfectly fine phone, all i did was install LCD density thing, set it to lowest density and then apply and restart. now the phone is ****ting bricks so to speak
Any help would be appreciated, i dont know what to do right now

Use your computer and flash a recovery image with adb. And the reboot into recovery

[Q][SOLVED] Nexus S I9023 - NO Recovery in Fastboot

Hi Guys,
I have a Nexus S EU version I9023 and I wanted to get ICS. I flashed the 128 mb ICS image manually through fastboot recovery, however, I wanted to go back and try to flash it again or flash 2.3.6 on the phone again but it's not working.
It's going into fastboot and I can choose what I want from the menu but when I choose Recovery, it shows the Google screen, Flashes the Android with a little "Matrix" ball in front of it and then it freezes at a black screen, with the soft buttons lit up.
Could anyone tell me what happened and if it can be fixed?
PS: When I press VolumeUp+Power at the black screen, it resets!

Thing is, I don't have clockworkmod installed at all. It's a clean Nexus S, NO root, NO CWM, no nothing.
I truly hope that somebody will have an answer to this or that, at least, I won't loose any OTA updates from Google by making this update.

The stock ics recovery turns off the backlight on the 9023, it has been explained countless times. Point a flashlight at it and u should be able to see what's actually there.

Exactly. I've had the same problem than OP and fixed it today. Just use a very bright lamp, try to find a good angle and you may see the recovery menu (it's hard to see, you'd better be comfortable with the navigation on the recovery menu as you may not be able to read everything).

it depends what you want to do from here on. the bright light method did not work for me so i installed cwmrecovery with bootloader.
if u are waiting for the next ota, do nothing as you wont need stock recovery to install update.
if you wanna downgrade or flash different rom, you can install cwmrecovery and use that from thr..
no need to access stock recovery
i panicked as well when it happened but ntg to worry about

I can't thank you enough guys and I hope that this thread will help others as well !!!
Thank you once more !

I have the same problem on a I9020. I tried with the bright light, and the screen is blank. What should I do?

[Q] Imp:Phone wont start up.PLS HELP

Hi,
So i decided to install NOVA launcher and kept it as default launcher.
No when i wanted to go back to google launcher the system was getting crashed and some error like : "systemui" is not working was poping up.
Meanwhile i was getting notifications of whatsapp messenger and i could use it but when i was trying to exit the app , again the problem occured.
Thats when i decided to reboot the phone to my bad luck it is not going further after "FOUR CIRCLES(red,green,yellow and blue) which comes after google logo.
I had previously owned S2 and when i used nova launcher and tried to switch back ( aftr uninstalling nova) it automatically use to use google launcher.
Please help.

If it won't boot you may have to fastboot the factory image can you get into recovery and do you have a custom recovery If so try clearing cache in it

I need you to answer a few questions before anyone can help...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Eg. TWRP or CM?)
- If not, are you rooted?
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery?
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty?
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone.
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.
In not an advanced user but I know done stuff... And there's always a way!

Gave good 10 + mins
Will try it one more time.I guess it should hardly take about 30 secs or so.

Oh, and also, see if you can fastboot by pressing the power button and volume down whilst booting up. If you can't, then try pressing power button + volume up + volume down whilst booting up.

- If not, are you rooted? NO
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery? NO,I dont mind if my data is lost
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty? YES,but now i stay in different country.so count it as NO
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone. have been using since 2 months

I can do that , it is showing me options over there like recovery,poweroff,bootloader recovery,etc.

If factory reset doesn't work then you option is to flash the factory image. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

This is probably why it crashed. Your phone doesn't have a launcher to boot into. That's the reason it is boot looping. As mentioned earlier, you'll have to flash the factory image.

Yea, i feel the same. I forgot it was google launcher and its a nexus phone.
If it would have been some other trebuche launcher(like in samsung) , this problem would'nt have persisted.

That is the stock recovery. You can press both volume buttons at the same time, to show the recovery options.
Flashing the factory image is very easy. You put your phone in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer, and simple run the Flashall.bat (or .sh depending on your OS.)
Touchwiz Home in Samsung devices does not rely on google search. Our Nexus has a launcher that requires google search to run. Otherwise you can install AOSP launcher.

@vzuwOw if you run into this problem again just fastboot flash the system.img, not the flash-all.bat. it would have kept the rest of your settings and you wouldn't have to redo your while phone.

thank you so much for your help.somehow i got it back up and running

Had the same happen to me. It didn't want to go into recovery gave a message it failed. With some patience I manged to get the button combo to work for fastboot then did a flash-all of the factory image. I think the trick was it had to be plugged in to get to download mode and I think you may hit the power button slightly before the volume down. It was a bit tedious. I tried to recover the boot.img and that trashed things up worse, got no google loading logo or something odd. Anyhow flashing the full factory image fixed things!
Glad you got it resolved, maybe this helps someone else in the same spot.
