[Help] Bricked my Nexus what's next? :( - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, this situation is kind of strange and I hope it's just the battery and not the whole goddamn phone.
What I'm dealing with at the moment is:
The phone doesn't boot
When plugged onto charger or USB cable it boots but stuck at Google logo after a blink and stays there. Also, Home, Back and other buttons are lighten.
When "forcefully" put into fastboot mode, e.g. after plugging it onto USB and instantly pressing Vol Up + Power it stuck there as well, volume rocker no more response neither does the power button. Also, I notice there are no commands at the end like "USB int" etc we see normally.
Fastboot or ADB returns no device found
Please help. I personally believe it could be due to battery, what do you guys think?
Thank you.

As long as you can see the google logo, your device is not bricked. GIve more useful information; like your computer operating system, the last thing you did before this happened, etc.

Thanks. My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. The last thing was to install UPDATE-SuperSU to root so that I can install ROM Manager to update Recovery but the installation was aborted so I attempt to flash it via Fastboot with success. Then, wanted to install SlimKat but it couldn't let me mount USB storage so that I can put the .zip file. I, then stupidly click on install via ADB but didn't know how to go back so I pulled the battery and powered up; used ADP push command to transfer said the file, but again for some reason I had to pull the battery and since then I am in above position.

Put the device in bootloader and plug it into the computer, be patient, my phone is rather slow to get detected sometimes.. (Up to 30 min.) Check your drivers on the computer, try rebooting the boot loader from just pressing the power button (while in boot loader mode)..
If all else fails, read up on Wugs NRTK page and about ODIN...

Hi, device doesn't go into bootloader without plugging it to computer (I've to press required buttons BEFORE plugging OTG cable). And when it boots in fastboot mode it doesn't let me press any button either. I kept it plugged in for sometime as well when it when it was at Google logo; will try to do the same while in fastboot mode too and let you know. As for drivers, same computer was used before when it was working and it detected just fine immediately (gave me a pain to find the right drivers though - PDANet was a life saver).
EDIT:
I should mention that I broke the OS before this happened by formatting /system folder and wiping other data from CWM recovery - I think, I also rebooted it without flashing the ROM as well.

I recently had to update my drivers on my computer.. after it did an update, my phone wasn't recognized..
Try Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit,.. use the options for "bricked".. do this from the bootloader screen (power/volume +)...
I don't have experience with ODIN, so you'll need to read that forum/threads...

The problem is, even the Toolkit doesn't recognize the device no matter what. Even the keys for ODIN don't work, aren't they Home+VOL+ and Power?
EDIT1:
Kept plugged in for little longer as suggested but it heats up (it's too hot here) so I plugged out. Going to be running it off of Linux and lets see how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT2:
Tried Adam's UnBrickable method on Linux and even that couldn't find device. But that was to be expected since Adam clearly mentioned in his post that this tool isn't for those who see anything on their screen.

Whelp! Currently I can only see I:\ drive in device manager and that's all under portable devices and that's all. I see the same even in BIOS boot options, it's listed as "Google".

Guess need to close this thread now.

nexus s power button not working

im stuck in the loading animation of ICS right now and my phone wont start, since my power button is broken i cant boot into recovery to wipe cache... is there some way i can boot into recovery console without the power button? can i used odin to start into recovery console?
please help!
if your phone is off the only way to connect it to your pc is booting it(bootloader or normally).. so power button is the only way. I was using android sdk and the toolkit but I hope there is a program for this situation even if I don't think so
instead if you can start your phone in bootloader mode but when you boot it loops in the starting animation means there is something wrong with your rom/kernel and you have to flash something new (you can do it in fastboot mode using one of the two programs I've mentioned before)
However I've not understand the situation fully... if your power button is broken how can you be in the loading animation??? :/

I'm not familiar with odin but if you can boot your phone in fastboot mode I think you can flash every file or make a wipe from your pc like with sdk for example.. you have just to search for the commands.. sorry if I can't be helpful

I have never used Odin with Nexus S, never needed that. As you are able to boot, you may look at the following thread to get the script for rooting your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544940
Remember, this process will unlock the boot loader if it is locked and unlocking boot loader will delete all files, even from the internal SD card. So you may consider having a complete backup on your computer.
I make a little trick to fix this case. I disassembled my phone for get motherboard with button in my hands. After it I "played" with power button: push, sway from side to side and kick it by finder nail. After all assembled phone and now the power button works fine.

[Q] Bricked : Flashing sbl1

I was trying to flash BlissPop. It didn't flash. So, I decided to flash fastboot image of CM11s 44.
I issued this command :
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The flash sbl1 command gave an error.
I rebooted bootloader. The phone turned off, but it never turned on.
I don't know how could it brick my phone, because I've done it a few times without any error.
My battery was on 65% when I was doing all this. So, I don't suspect battery has died.
But, I'm charging the phone anyway. There is no lead, but the power bank shows that battery is taking charge.
When I connect the phone to PC, it shows no signs of any device connected. Device manager doesn't show any thing/any refresh.
I've tried to push the power button for about a minute for 5 times, as 1+1 site says.
I've tried vol up + power and vol down + power buttons. It doesn't boot it.
I've no access to fastboot, recovery, OS, anything.
Please, suggest me solutions.
Did you flash the firmware updates before you flashed bliss? There is a toolkit out there, linked in bliss thread, on how to unbrick. I'll see if I can't find it.

First look at this perhaps. If not there is a toolkit out there to flash back to stock. Should be able to communicate w the phone if it can turn on at all.

Thanks. I looked at it.
But, as you said I can't do anything till the phone turns on even once.
BTW, I highly suspect battery drain, because I was in TWRP for long to take backup, flashing MultiROM, etc. TWRP is known to not allow charging, as reported by some people.
Can you tell me whether flashing sbl1 could have bricked it or not? It didn't fail to flash in past and it never caused problem.
I had flashed CM12 firmware update before flashing BlissPop. Could reflashing CM11s fastboot image over it cause problem. I think it should not, because fastboot image replace all things. What's your opinion?
Had the same problem. Try first leave it charging for 12 hours after that plug it in. Then get into fastboot this is not easy. Just hold vol up and power together for atv least 5 Sec.

I guess its possible. But I would do what falastine said. Charge it for some time. With a soft brick it may not show anything on the screen but could actually be on. So be patient trying to get the toolkit to find the phone. I've heard in another thread someone's phone did in fact connect but nothing was on the screen
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
any progress on this? i think the exact same thing happened to me. was trying to flash back to CM11s using fastboot, but it died. now i dont get anything at all. no response to the chrager, or the computer or anything.
ive tried holding the power button, holding the vol keys with the pwr button, but no avail.
let me know if you figured it out!

I left the phone in charge for 24 hours using original charger and wire.
Tried long presses for multiple times - nothing happens.
Tried vol up/ vol down combinations with power button for long nothing happens.
I am now waiting for 12 hours and then will plug it again, as some thread said.
In between I'm trying to download a tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
I hope it detects my phone.

There is no progress.
It appears that we are in same situation.
I highly suspect dead battery, instead of dead phone. Anyway, I'll post updates.

open your device manager in your pc and use volume up and power button while connected to pc to get into qualcom mode.most probably it would be detected as android fastboot interface just click on it and update the driver to qualcom usb serial interface then use http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851 this tool to recover

I could understand that once my phone is detected as even unknown device, I can install drivers and try to recover through the tool you mentioned.
But, the problem is that my phone is not recognized as anything. The Device Manager shows no reaction when I connect the phone to computer.
I have disabled driver signature on my Windows 8.1 64 bit. I've Qualacom drivers installed. Rebooted computer in disabled signature mode.
I've connected my device through official cable and I've tried the key combination mentioned.
My other devices show up when connected to PC, but 1+1 doesn't.
Any other thing which I could try.
I had left my phone in charging for 24 hours, but it doesn't wake it up.

So this is how i did it.
1. install the drivers from OPO (located in the .zip file from this tool https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/t...ks-etc.237827/ )
2. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
3. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
4. Download the qualcomdriver ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgujdut93m341qm/Qualcomm 2012.rar?dl=0 ). Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.
5. Now the OPO tool should recognize your device. I turn off all my network connections so the usb device can't find other drivers. (in case windows overwrite the driver).

I followed the same key combination which you mentioned. It doesn't help.
Can you tell me if battery is totally depleted, will it be possible for phone to be detected?
I've tried to charge my phone with various chargers and power banks. The battery stays cold, the charger stays cold, power bank blinks and get depleted, but phone is not vibrating even on long press.
I've tried on virtual PC, a XP machine. And on other real XP PC.

Even if your battery is depleted it should get detected in your machine when u press volume up and power while its connected to your pc.hold it for a minute this combination should show something also keep your pc volume up to hear any port connect discconect sounds.If this doesnt happen then your hardware is dead no other option but try to give it to opo for service.
So, nothing ever comes on the screen? Does the phone vibrate if you hold the power button for 20 seconds? If so, this might be of help, if it sounds like it's bricked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732

Vodafone Smart 4 Mini

I've broken my phone! I was rooted, and was installing a custom rom. It worked fine for a few hours, and now the phone won't boot up in normal, recovery or fastboot modes. All I get is the android logo and then a white screen for a few seconds, and this repeats until i get fed up and turn it off again.
My device is a Vodafone 785 and my pc is running Windows 7 with the latest drivers installed and updated.
When I plug the phone into the computer, it tries to register but the flashtool says the device is not recognized, so I can't re-install my recovery image.
I've been at this for about three weeks now, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this working again. Can someone please help?

Using SP Flashtool, the computer won't recognize the device when I plug in the USB with either the battery removed or inserted into the phone.

OPO stuck in Recovery(!) - no fastboot available

I recently broke the screen and the touchscreen of my OPO and bought a new Glass+LCD+Digitizer+Middle Frame from Aliexpress. I just installed all the parts and afterwards my OPO booted happily into recovery. Touchscreen and Display etc are working fine. I wiped everything via TWRP 2.8.7.0 and wanted to do a clean install of CM12.1. But no matter what I do now, the phone always(!) boots directly into recovery mode. I can't even get into fastboot! I already tried all sorts of things.. any ideas?

If I power off my phone and plug it into the computer it immediately turns on. If I leave it plugged in and then shut it off via recovery, it reboots instead of turning off. Only if I unplug it from the computer, I can shut it off. So I'm afraid this link won't work for me

did you press and hold volume up when plugging it to the computer?
Yes I tried everything. It will only boot in recovery.
brah it will work. i was in same situation. it fixed my phone. try it.
I managed to do the whole "unbrick" process... now my recovery looks a little bit different but I still can't get into the bootloader!
When I boot up the phone, a split second before it enters recovery mode this picture shows up. The recovery is now stock CM recovery. ADB now doesn't work either..
TWRP has an option to reboot to bootloader. Did you try that as well?
Yes, I did. It booted into recovery...

No, it doesn't. However if go into the "install update via adb sideload" option in the recovery, the phone gets recognized as A0001, but the driver on my PC doesn't work. ADB doesn't work either in this case.

Well its possible, that one of the volume butten is pressed permanent(that u even don't take notice) due bad hardware and replacement. Therefore, the device would only boot into recovery, no matter what u try. Take a voltmeter and check the buttons.
BTW: stop using these dirty "toolbox" around here, they are pure cancer for your device
Hey, thanks for your reply. The volume down button being permanently pressed was actually the case! I found out myself and fixed it by soldering a new volume flex cable. Phone works fine again

Cannot Enter Bootloader or Use Volume Up.

Hello Guys,
My OnePlus One screen broke, it was in my drawer for more than 15 days without charge, i connected charger for 1 hour it just went from 1% to 5% but i didnt thought much about it as my priority was to change screen, i bought touch+lcd with frame and replaced it myself, but it wasnt powering up then i tried putting the backpanel on, it then booted up to the home screen, but the battery indicator wasnt moving up i powered off the phone after that it never turned on, i researched a bit and found out the after long period of time if you dont charge your phone might have problem charging and there was one suggestion which i followed and that was charge OPO using usb cable attached to PC, i left it for somewhat 7hours and it powered on i thought it might be the problem of ROM i flashed official H2OS (regret selecting this rom) using TWRP, it was a catastrophe my phone wont Enter Bootloader or Recovery, and wont even boot to system, it seemed i hardbricked my device, i used Oneplus one recovery tool 64GB to bring my device to life but after that no matter what i do my device wont enter to bootloader as the volume up button stopped working too : tried advance reboot, powerup+volumeup, opo toolkit.
Help me, i want to root my device and unlock bootloader once again.

Is your volume up button actually broken or does it still work and can you boot into something? If it still works (hold on, this idea might be a little crazy xD) you could try completely hard bricking (no joke! you cannot get into Qualcomm download mode with a booting device) and restoring it with the msm8974downloadtool from the oneplus one unbricking guide which should theoretically fix everything that is wrong.

Even If my volume button dosent work then why wont it enter bootloader via advance reboot it just restarts to system after selecting reboot to bootloader,so i should hard brick my device once again, P.S. i have done that twice before though.
