so my phone bricked yesterday. completely stock and not rooted. anyone have any idea how or why this might have happened? everything was working ok and then out of nowhere it shut off and it does this all day now. already contacted google for the RMA and the support tech also had no clue what was happening. anyone else have this problem or know how to "fix" this?
i can't post the vid yet cause of the forum rules but i posted online and on the /r/nexus5 thread on reddit.

Can you Start the bootloader ??
---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------
Try this please ....
1. Plug phone into wall charger and hold power button down for 15 seconds.
2. Unplug phone.
3. Hold Volume up+Volume down+Power button for a couple of seconds till it boots back to the bootloader.
It may not do this at the first try so you might have to keep on holding just the Power button for a while and then doing step 3 again.
Try try again and hopefully you'll be fine.
i've tried those methods above multiple times. wish i could post the video because it looks like something that isn't normal. it goes into bootloader for a split second then just restarts. it's weird

Do you have a stuck power button? That can create "endless bootloops"...

i have a charger stock everything. for some reason it will not go pass the boot screen. and keeps restarting. battery is full. can anybody help me out? Can i do a hard reset or something?
If you haven't modded it at all, it might be a hardware issue.

It might be an app you downloaded, though, you could try reflashing the stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108115
yea i was thinking that. i pulled the battery and everything. still nothing just keep rebooting and shutting off.

how about try to boot recover mode (this will wipe all data on your phone). Hold down Volume up and home button then press and hold power button until you see recover screen (blue), select recovery and press the power button to execute. Good luck and hope it's not hardware issue.
I had the same problem yesterday , I had to reodin to stock and it worked perfectly . But Verizon is still sending me a new unit . But it will work . Goodluck

my nexus s is bootlooping and I have a broken power button. I cant get into recovery to try to do a nandroid restore. Is there anything I can do to get into recovery.
Thanks guys in advance
you can flash a new rom with fastboot.
but 1st you need your kindle to shutdown.
you may after wait for battery to drain.
you need it to boot up yellow triangle screen.

you can boot up recovery through fastboot
Adb won't get you into recovery?

my phone doesn't respond at all in fastboot and volume rocker doesn't work at all. I tried tapping or smacking near the power button for a long time and still nothing.

if you dont get any response from your volume buttons, you can use odin. theres a thread here that explains how to do it through odin.

I read somewhere about taking the battery out and then plugging in the phone to usb with ADB running, or was it ODIN, it should boot in to download mode, and from there you can get in to recovery, I seen it done on youtube as well, I think you might need to press the volume up button when you put the battery in, hope it helps
Hi, yesterday, my phone suddenly turned of, and since than i cant turn it on. I can't even go in recovery mode, or download mode. The phone automaticly turn on when I put the battery in, show the samsung logo, then go black and just vibrate. When i tried to go in recovery mode, it open just for a second, and go back to vibrate. What can i try?
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad English..

changing motherboard is the only solution

No need to worry you have not hard bricked. The problem is with your ace+ power button. If you have warranty then go to service center they can fix it. If you are out of warranty then you can go to a local mobile repair shop and ask there for repair of power button.
I saw the same issue on my friend's ace plus and replacing the power button worked.

it could explain a lot but if its the power button, why his device shut down?
as i know, if the power button doesn't work doesn't mean it shouldn't boot

that is the soft reboot, but if you keep pressing the power button, you dont get it to the samsung logo
it will not show anything, it just keeps vibrating at the start, he is saying he managed to arrive at the logo, THEN it vibrates
thanks

i know what is a soft reboot
you cant even read me properly !!!
do this -
1 pull out battery
2 press and hold power button forever {dont release it}!!!!
3 insert the battery
then then you will see that on first start it will boot till gt-s7500 logo and after that it will keep vibrating every 1 second
so it is a power button bug nothing else

My girlfriends phone has been running liquid smooth for a long time. Last night the battery died and when she plugged it in and turned it on it stays at the liquid smooth boot screen. It wont go any further then that. The volume up key also does not work so I don't know how to get into recovery. What should I do?

Is the volume up button broke or stuck compressed? If it is broke you could go into download mode and flash 4.1.2 so she has a working phone. If its compressed you could try the wack method to uncompress the button.

Wait you need volume up to confirm download mode never mind.

yeah, i cant get into recovery or download mode because of the vol button. I just read about usb jigs. They force it into download mode? Do you think that would work? i don't know what else could if not .

I just watched a YouTube video to see if it asks for confirmation. He used a jig marketed for the s2 on the s3 and it went straight to a flash able state (no volume confirmation). So it looks like a good option for you. I think you can buy them for under a buck and if memory serves me you can make it out of a old cable and a resistor.
frozen in upload mode
unknow error
RAM dump by hard reset
backup to sdcard failed
going to RDX_MODE again

i'm thinking i'm going to have to let the phone drain dead turn off by itself in that mode since i can not do anything. No button combo's work. If i give it a couple hours or couple days lol maybe the battery will shut off and can start over?
keep the download mode key combonation held down it will eventually go back to that

If your trying to flash stock make sure that your using the latest odin version and not the comsy odin version

It should work with the official odin. Any time you need to flash official firmware you must use original odin. Comsy odin is for modified files such as Samfail which I'm sure you most likely tried to root with it.
Mine happened too! lol although now appears to have charged past the 80% limit lol maybe a clue in how to fix samcrazy bug haha. Glad I got this beast rooted wouldn't have it any other way. When it happens just hold the volume down and power for 2minutes straight, bet crazySam never though we would hold it down for that long! lol

Thank you so much. It took my phone over 2 minutes to turn off.
yeah it took at least 5 mins to reboot
Volume down plus power for 5 minutes it worked
Same problem here and yes it definitively works, but I wasn't going to hold those buttons for 5 minutes with my hand lol.
