1) Turn off the phone completely by holding down the power button
2) Hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and boot up your phone in fastboot mode
3) Use the power buttons to navigate to recovery mode

Hi
I have a Samsung Nexus S for past 5 months. I recently upgraded to the ICS. Last week, I was listening songs on my phone and all of a sudden out of nowhere the phone re-started.
After couple of minutes, saw a message on screen saying “encryption unsuccessful, you have lost all your data. This phone will now need to rebooted”.
Underneath this message, there was only 1 option of REBOOT NOW. I had to press the button since I had no other option.
After this the phone restarted but never went past the start up animation screen. After couple of days, I gave it another shot and after going past the welcome screen, it gave me the option to register the phone again. But as soon as that screen comes up, I get all these small messages saying, email has stopped, music has stopped, android process has stopped, calendar has stopped................ at this point the phone virtually hangs itself and I can’t do anything.
Can someone please advise what is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this, power the phone off, now press and hold the volume up & power botton at the same time, a menu should appear, now use the volume up/down buttons till "RECOVERY" is highlighted green, now press the power button, the phone will now reboot and in to recovery and show an android on the screen, at this point you need to press and hold the power button then press volume up briefly, a menu should appear, use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, now use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "Yes -- delete all user data" once this is done select "reboot system now", this process will wipe the phone and put it back to factory settings, it won't delete usb storage though so you may need erase usb storage once you're up and running again.

I think that you have to push clockworkmod recovery image like when you root your device.

yeah, try using clockwork recovery.
that's much more usfeul than the stock one
i tried doing clockwork recovery, I cant unlock the bootloader, i did all the steps ie installed android drivers, went to command prompt, typed the command, I can see the option of unlocking bootloader on android but when I select yes, it still says locked. I guess I will have to give up on this phone.

Hello,
I had an issue of my Nexus 5 restarting whenever I tried to unlock the screen. Since, I have searched several websites and found that I need to do a factory reset to fix the issue. And, I followed the below steps:
1.If your phone is on, power it off.
2.Press & hold Volume Down and Volume Up, and then press & hold Power simultaneously until the device turns on. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
When everything is completed. I tried restarting the phone by clicking the power button, and what I see is the Boot Animation . Waited for an hour, two , three and five. Still i see the same. Please help me. I tried to search for similar posts with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Stock recovery wipes everything AFAIK so your user data and the OS are gone... You have to flash the stock build (factory images) or take the opportunity to flash a new recovery and a custom rom.
EDIT: maybe not I actually never used it.

It doesn't touch /system or /boot. Only /data, but not excluding /data/media like custom recovery would

Oh yes I remembered there was a difference regarding the wipe process. Thanks for the clarification.

No problem
So I did a factory reset, the tab rebooted to wipe the device, went to nvidia logo then screen went black, shuts off automatically and I can turn back on just for it to get right past the logo and shut off again, I've tried volume up with power and volume down and same thing happens. Sometimes the power won't even turn it back on for 5-10 minutes. Any suggestions?

Dumb question, but are you sure the battery is charged? I would leave it plugged in for awhile and try again. Then if it still is not booting try to enter download mode while connected to PC. Mine did something similar to this once when I did a factory reset as well. It only recovered after connecting USB to my PC.
I'm guessing you have custom recovery installed?
1. Download the factory image from NVIDIA website (specific to your device version),
2. Go into fastboot by pressing volume down and give a slight nudge to the power button (don't press until the logo comes up, just a quick nudge will do)
3. Unlock your bootloader using the instruction which can be found on this forum (if you have, skip this step) sorry I'm on mobile phone, so a bit hard to do a search for the link with small screen.
4. Unzip the recovery image zip file.
4. While still in fastboot, flash the recovery images using flash-all.bat contained in the unzipped folder.
You will lose your custom recovery and your root, but since you were gonna wipe your device anyway.. let me know if you're stuck somewhere.
I think i might have found fix....
Shut down the device with long press (8sec) Power button
Press and hold Vol down key
Press and release Power key
Device enters fastboot mode
Select Recovery mode option (using Vol up/down for navigation and power key to select)
Device enters recovery mode (after showing NVIDIA boot logo) with Android Robot screen.
Press and release Vol UP + Power button simultaneously
Then select wipe data/factory reset with Vol up/down key to navigate and power key to select
try this but be PATIENT AND wait for it to say erasing then i think ill be normal once its done also just wait with it on the "blank screen" we could have just got ahed of are selves and whent to conclusions and thought it was bricked
Typical steps to enter recovery mode not working (F350S model)
I have F350S model which I rooted, and accidentally deleted "phone" from the system apps. Was unable to make calls or texts, and I could not find any help to reinstall the deleted "phone" apk (it may not be so simple to "just re-install it", I suppose). My solution was to re-stall a fresh stock ROM (it is 4.4 kitkat),.......BUT....I cannot find any stock ROM online for this phone. So, I decided to use Lollipop upgrade (Future 3.2 ROM).
I installed Lollipop, and everything appeared to be successful. I made phone call and texts, had wifi, and was re-installing my games and social media apps. Then, suddenly, I get an error "Unfortunately, LG IMS has stopped." The error is persistent. I cannot get away from it. I say "OK" and it just comes back. I have no idea what "LG IMS" is, or why it stopped.
I figure I will just re-install the Future 3.2 ROM again and start over. I need to enter recovery mode, and the instructions to do this are one of three possible ways:
1.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, RELEASE, and then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons again, and then phone should enter recovery mode. But it does not! It just boots up to the "LG IMS has stopped" error, again,
or 2.) Power off, then hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. When startup logo appears, release POWER BUTTON ONLY (keep holding VOLUME DOWN button, do not release), then press POWER button again. Phone should enter recovery mode, but it does not! Same as above,
or 3.) Same as above, but after startup logo appears, hold down BOTH VOLUME UP AND DOWN. But...same results. No recovery mode and boots directly to persistent error.
I'm guessing my recovery feature is screwed somehow. How do I fix this? I cannot enter recovery mode using the buttons and directions I have seen for this phone. I've tried a few other variations of button pressing too. No avail. There has to be a solution!!!

I think this is the same from F320S from my Wife.
Press and Hold Power and Volume Down When startup logo appears, RELEASE and Press and Hold Power and Volume Up
until the Korean characters Comes and a little longer

Thank for reply, but this button combo no worky, either.
If I hold down ALL THREE BUTTONS, I get a Korean screen, IMEI number with barcode, with 3 options, but I cannot tell what any of it says. I tried all 3 options, and they all just cause the phone to restart. Not sure what they do.
any further information ? I get entering the recovery problem too !
If you are using custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to enter the recovery press and hold the POWER and VOL UP while your phone is turned off, wait for the Korean characters to appear then release the buttons.
Hello, I have a big problem with rebooting to recovery mode. I can reboot to recovery only with application. If I turn my phone off and then hold volume up + power, then I get black screen with only one yellow Chinese text on the very top left side and then after 1 minute it's get into Chinese recovery.. My question is: how to get into custom recovery without using applications like for example "Quick boot".
I need it, because I have to install ROM again, because I did a big mistake, when I deleted one file from the "system" folder. Now my phone boot without problem, but after that everything is lagging and all applications stop working, then it automatically reboot phone..
I can't flash firmware with SP Flash Tool, because of Windows drivers. My laptop does not recognize the phone. It says: "Unknown USB device".. That's why I need to get into custom recovery for installing ROM.
Thank you in advance for help.
This helped:
With the phone powered off
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button
When phone vibrates release power button only.
As the No Comman Screen release all buttons.
Press and hold the power button and tap the Volume Up button.
Release the buttons. You must get into recovery mode.
