....it does NOTHING

Hello and good morning..:crying:..my Nexus s I9023 with JB 4.1.1, stock, had a frozen Display and didn`t react to the powerbutton so i pulled the battery....and guess, what.....it doesn`t turn on anymore!! I had the battery out all night...nothing! ...put it on the charger...nothing!....eaven the pc does not recognise my Nexus...! ...what can I do?? btw....searched the Forum and did this "plug in USB, press volume up and down, slide in Battery, hold for 5 sec. ....nothing!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not an expert, but it seems a serious hardware problem.
As far as I know, there are for ways to switch on the nexus s.
1) ordinary power button
2) power button + vol up
3) vol up + vol down
4) plug in USB charger
The third method puts the phone in download mode, and Odin needs to be used. You have to look for the thread on how to restart the phone with a broken power button

if it is still in warranty send to the seller and if u are lucky u can have a new nexus s

....if there is no other option i will do that!!

If the screen does not turn on displaying the battery icon when you plug the charger to the usb, it may mean that they battery is completely flat or that the contacts are not working.
If you know someone who owns a nexus then try with another battery and another charger.
In any case, it is definitely better to give it to a service center for warranty replacement. They know how to make it work
Good luck

Exact same thing happened to me this morning! I just tried to send a text, my display blurred and the phone froze. When I pulled the battery it wouldn't turn back on >.<. Hesitant to send in for repairs though. I was running AOKP jb-build 1 and Air-kernel #201. It isn't being recognized by USB so I can't even flash it again. Tried to use the unbrickable resurrection program, but it doesn't get recognized, and I don't want to void the warranty further by opening the phone.
Any suggestions??

are you overclocking the cpu? This happened to me a few times until i finally clued it in my head. I was overclocking at 1400MHz and sometimes when i was using my phone for a while it would get hot and the screen would be all colourful and blurry and then it would freeze and I would have to take the battery out and reboot it

I was overclocking for a bit at a stable 1200 MHz for months, and usually hard resets fixed it. But if I remember correctly, I started using stock voltages and stock speeds with lazy governor a while back. It was stable until today. Usually the hard reset fixes it, but now its not even turning on or being recognized by USB

...wanted you all to know..just got my NS back today...they put in a New mainboard on warranty.l had to update Form 2.3.4 to ics and then to JB..........now i am happy:thumbup:

[Q] HTC ONE S Bricked

Hey Guys,
a friend of mine just bricked his HTC-OneS and I'm here to help him get it back to life
He installed the latest PacMan Rom and everything was awesome.
All over sudden the Phone didn't boot up anymore.
It can be charged via USB, so maybe one can do something over USB
Windows-PC doesn't recognize the Phone he says...
As far as I remember its an HTC One s ville c2 (is there anything like this)
Due to the Fact that I'm a Motorola User, I have no idea where to start trying to recover his Phone...
Please Help me do it

do you know how to use some adb/fastboot commands? run fastboot oem getcid in the bootloader.
hold down volume down and power to go into the bootloader.

I would try to get into the bootloader first. That would provide a gateway to possibly fixing his (or her) phone.

Hope to get into bootloader, will get hands in his phone in monday.
Coming from Motorola i'm used to a factory tool where i can flash official Firmware via PC. Is there anything like this for HTC phones?
If not first thing i would try is flashing a New recovery system via fastboot to have sth to work with. Anyone agree with this plan?
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

I don't think I've ever seen a tool like that. I think the best bet would be to get into recovery, mount and try to flash a new rom (C2 roms in this case).

Yes, go to androidruu.com, look for villec2 and click on it. The latest RUU should work unless he is carrier branded. Then you will need to use a carrier RUU.

Got hands on his phone and it doesnt do anything...
No bootloader nothing.
Only thing that happens is that it recognizes its on a wallplug...

Anyone got an idea?
The little charging LED is red, is it possible that there is some kind of battery driver missing, so the phone won't charge anymore and the battery is empty?
and is there an option to solve this?

Really sounds like it is hard bricked.
I could mention things that you have already most likely tried.
Holding power down for 30 seconds
holding power down for 10 seconds under bright light so the front sensor registers (prevents messing up your phone while in your pocket)
when plugged in computer, does device manager show it as "qhsusb_dload" (bricked)
Hold power down and volume down for 10 seconds. release power button and continue holding volume down.
From replies from manufacturer that people post here, often they replace the battery and (motherboard?) Seems like something happens and a sudden battery discharge messes up the works.

Thank you for your response
So quick question, due to the fact that the Phone is hard bricked, can i send the Phone back in, and get things fixed, cause the Phone was s-off and rooted before, so warranty is void.
Is there any way they could find out about it? Like a blown fuse or anything?

Your guess is as good as mine. There was one guy who posted here, that they did fix it, and when they sent it back they had turned back on security, or S-on. So they obviously knew and didn't care. One of those ymmv. I kind of doubt he did anything wrong and it is a defect. People post on here with completely stock w/ same symptoms.

Nexus 5 just boot if i press screen very fast!!

Hi, my nexus almost 5 months after i bought it, it got a strange problem, it just "boot" if i tap the screen repeatedly times fast (dont need to be strong, just fast)..
look this video i recorded:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1kZ718MVac&feature=youtu.be
i repeat, its not strong, just fast =(
if i hold power up and power down it enter in recovery but i cant do nothing, because it in 1 second reboot again =/

It's sounds like hardware failure for me. But have it ever been got wet or fallen down? Are you using stock rom/kernel or custom one(s)? Have you tried to make a full wipe in the recovery?

Not that i remember, i Dropped it sometimes, but this problem started "without reason"
Its stock and i tried the fullwipe, but now its impossible sincr i cant stay in cwm more than 1 or 2 seconds
Maybe i have chance that google can fix it? I sent it to a store to see if was something about the powe button, they said no and they cant fix the problem since they dont know and have fix accessories for it

Try to use ADB to wipe the partitions then flash stock with Fastboot?

[Q] Nexus 5 bootloop, can't access recovery

My Nexus 5 is stuck in a bootloop. Each time through the loop, it gets to the Google logo, and then reboots. Each loop takes about 3-4 seconds. If I hold the correct keys to get to the bootloader, it still keeps looping, just looping to the bootloader screen, not the Google logo screen. I have tried letting go of the keys after different lengths of time, and I can never get it to stay at the bootloader, it just keeps looping.
And so, I cannot access recovery.
I should not that this is the phone's behavior while it is plugged in. If it is unplugged, it immediately ceases the bootloop and just goes completely dead, unresponsive.
Any ideas, guys?
Thanks!

If you can access the bootloader it's fixable. Flash the factory image.

hi i have the same problem... i just kept fidgeting with the power button and tryin to pull it outwards till the phone actually switched onn..
i feel this usually happens on the weekend lol
are u on any ROM ... im on PA dunno if thats what causing this ?!
it may be the power button since that makes sense .. but i managed to turn my phone on past 3 weekends .. so it could be a software problem as well ??

Software can't stop your phone from turning on If pulling out the power button allows it to boot.

If it wont boot to bootloader and keeps rebooting, its power button issue and needs to be repaired

Yeap. Had the same problem. Saw this post. Used a multimeter to check the Power Button failure. Terminals are shown to be shorted, even when it is not clicked. Swap the button out with a newer button. Problem solved

Nexus 5 repeatedly shows Google logo

My Nexus 5 is stuck on boot loop. It won't turn on its own. The moment i connect to a charger, the Google logo flashes and the phone vibrates and after a few seconds does the same thing. Please help. I am unable to go to the recovery screen either. Please help if any of you have faced similar issues. I am in India. 16 GB Nexus 5, bought in January.

Sounds like the power button is stuck. Try pushing it hard many times but you'll probably have to have it replaced.

Well i banged the phone down on sofa in frustration. And now its back to working normally. Spoke to Google Play support as well and they suggested to keep the phone in Safe Mode and observe if it happens again. I think its a loose power button problem and not really anything to do with the apps or S/W. What do you guys suggest?

Since it's up and running now, you can't technically file a RMA. If this issue pops up again, instead of banging your phone, call support and setup RMA.

Wish i knew that before. Now i have 2 months left of warranty and i don't know what to do?

If it is good til your warranty expires... Then acts up. It can be fixed for a reasonable cost.
