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.

Just have it fixed through best buy it takes 3 business days I sent mine in on Thursday and got it Monday since obviously weekends don't count. My power button wasn't working either and I was rooted and unlocked bootloader..just save all your data since they might just give you a new nexus like me

doesnt black tie give you a new phone right there?

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.

Buddy It is sad to see you facing problem with your device. Can you tell exactly what's your problem. What I understand from your post is whenever you remove your battery and plug it back your mobile is not turning on. You have to keep it off for 1 day before you can turn it on successfully. Is that what you are trying to say buddy?

I was using official rom not rooted one till yesterday.
I installed ICS yesterday guessing that it would solve the problem but the problem remains same & it became worst than ever before.
I am going to install the original firmware once again but I am not getting the proper link to download it. Could you please just give me the link to download ginger bread 2.3.6 for the Saudi Arabian Region?
& I think there must be a problem in boot sector. Whenever I remove the battery and plug it back to it, it takes time to turn it on at least 10 to 24 hours.
One more thing my laptop is detecting the mobile even my mobile is turn off.

Custom rom problem

Hey XDA! My brother and I are having a problem with his Verizon GS3. After a fight with it we finally got it completely rooted (we rooted it while he was running 4.1.1 stock) . Every time we try to flash a ROM the phone does it and then during boot up it gives an error message. Something along the lines of "unauthorized software has been detected. Please go to your nearest Verizon store to restore your device." not exactly what it says but close to that (I don't have it in front of me right now). Does anyone know what could be wrong and how to fix it?

Boot loader was locked upon ROM flash.
Vzw ez unlock for Verizon galaxy s3 will unlock it.
If you can not find in play store.
Google it and you can download and place on SD card to install the app that way.
Make sure you are rooted

Isn't the boot loader unlocked in the first step? The boot up screen with the Samsung logo has the unlocked symbol on it. Sorry for the dumb questions, the only device I've rooted is my Galaxy Nexus and that was a breeze.

No its still locked use the ezunlock and it should let you flash a rom.

It really is. Hopefully when the X-Phone comes out it will be easy like the Nexus. Rooting the GS3 has been such a nuisance. Thanks for the help everyone! I'll report back with how it goes.

So ezunlock is no longer available on the play store apparently. Every link that was supposed to take me there didn't work, just says it "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." Any other apps that I could use?

Hopefully this works. Threw the apk up in my drive. I'm not going to leave it there long, so grab it quick. Make sure to allow installs from unknown sources in developer settings.
Removed URL
Post here when you have it.
Edit: Removed the URL since I'm not going to leave it up all night. Google ezunlock, it's literally the first link you see.

Seems version 1.2 works very well.

[Q] Black screen after trying to unroot.

Hello XDA,
2 days ago I installed CyanogenMod via their new installer everything went great. After a 2 days of testing I decided that the Nexus 5 is a great phone and doesn't need any custom rom (atleast not for me). So I followed this guide to unrooting the device and setting it back to the stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I selected recovery and after that I'm supposed to see a dead android. But I'm not seeing anything my screen is black. I can some light so it is still turned on.
I'm kinda freaking out over here so I really could use some help on restoring this ( if its possible ).
Greetings,
Liquidfood.
I'm dutch so my English might not be perfect.

Can you get into the bootloader? Our is your screen black too? I would try to flash the factory image again

That's not a good sign. Look for the LG flash tool, I believe it's in the general forum and try that. I think it's your only hope at this point.

How you should I go about this. I still have warranty in the store that I bought it form ( probably not because bootloader is unlocked. ). But I wanna try it anyways should I tell them the truth or not? And can I send it directly to google/lg?

Ok so a miracle happend. I got it to work again, I let the battery drain and hooked it up to my computer and got in the bootloader. So I flashed the rom again and now it worked!

dead samsung galaxy nexus 4

my galaxy nexus is dead and it wont turn on anymore what can I do to solve the problem

What do you mean by saying that it is dead? Is there a constant bootloop or no power at all? If you give explain your issue deeply, I am going to give you the right piece of advice. However, I suggest you check both your battery's health and the micro USB used for charging!
Good luck,

Hi Beast20,
As I have understood, the problem on your phone is that it is no booting into Android. Now, you may try flashing again the Stock Rom or installing a brand-new Custom Rom (such as Cyanogen Mod, Lineage OS...) using the Odin tool. For further help and instructions, I suggest that you share with me your Galaxy's Specs (and especially the Android Version, the processor and the Ram).
