I seemed to have bricked my Nexus S 4g, I unlocked the bootloader, and had MIUI running on there for some time with no problems, I took the rom off and started to run with just stock android. I ran into an issue when i tried to use an application that would change the system fonts, Fontchanger, and now the phone will not even reach the nexus s loading screen but instead gets immediately stuck at the first image screen showing the Google logo. When i hold the volume up and power button i can get into the boot menu, but when i try to get into the recovery menu i just get the triangle with the exclamation mark logo. Can anyone help me out with this one?
BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP In a similar situation, flashed the wrong rom ran the OTA and wiped out recovery & USB.
Press Power and Volume Up Button in recovery mode and you will get options to clean things up. Did the same in morning and got it when accidentally pressed.
I successfully flashed a new radio just now but when i rebooted the phone it got stuck at the htc white screen so i tried using the volume up+down + power button a couple of times but it always reboot and get stuck at the white htc screen.
I dont wanna pull my battery. What do i do?

I have been preaching for a thousand yours now, DO NOT FLASH A RADIO ON A WHIM! No one listens! The only thing you can do is let it run flat. Pull it, and fully charge it before powering back up.
So I've been using CM10 nightlies for months without a problem, and today I installed the newest nightly. The phone now boots, showing the HTC screen, and then goes black. It is responsive to pushing the power button. but all that happens is the backlight turns on, but the screen is still blank. I've read about problems associated with the new 3.17 update, but to my knowledge I have not installed this update. So what can I do? I'm hoping just reverting to the previous nightly can solve this problem?
Hold the power button for about 30 seconds.. And everytime you hold the power button does it boot up to the HTC screen or does it go blank... It could be your LCD blunked out on you but I doubt it....
No, when I do this the HTC screen comes up and then it just goes to black. I don't get the CM spinny wheel or anything, but the screen is definitely still fine.
Hold volume down and power than get to bootloader
Hold volume down and power together while the phone is booting. The hardware keys will blink 5 times then the phone will go off. Let Go of volume down and power. Wait 5 seconds press volume down and power. It will go into bootloader. Select recovery, you'll be in recovery. Flash whatever, brick your phone as you can't read enough to figure out a: don't post twice and b: how to get into the bootloader of the phone you rooted. I'm shocked you got this far.

Thanks so much for being so helpful! I'm not an idiot. I've been installing these nightlies for months without a problem, and this just suddenly arose with the latest one. I tried flashing back to the older nightly, but now the phone boots and is just stuck on the spinning CM animation.

If it gets stuck on the boot logo, then you probably need to manually flash the kernal which should be included in the roms zip/rar file.
Yep, reinstalling kernel and new nightly did the trick. And in the process I'm now running 4.2!
My htc one x was just sitting there and i was plugging it into the computer and it wouldn't recognize then i checked it and it was off. So i held the power button until it started booting. Just shows the htc logo and then it just had a black screen! and thats it. please help!
Need more info. Is the phone running a custom ROM, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery? Or are you stock?
Have unlocked boot and installed TRWP and all was running good. Tried to flash viper 4 and dolby atmos and now stuck in a loop.
its a very short loop I get the unlocked boot warning screen and then the white HTC page and thats it. Can turn it off but can't then boot to bootloader using volume down button. Also getting no charge light when plugged into charger.
2 questions: any other way to get it into recovery?
and 2 would you turn it off or let it go flat before contacting HTC support and returning it?
problem solved it sudenly stopped bootlooping and stuck on the white HTC screen from there pressed the poer button until screen off and i got the vibrate then hit the vol down button and went it went straight to recovery.
