[Q] help please! stuck on google logo

Guys i rooted the build GRH78C so i know how to root
i put the new build GRI40 that removes the root access by restoring it from rom manager.
but i was so stupid thinking that superboot for the build GRH78C can also root the new build GRI40. I did then it rebooted but stuck on google logo.
is there any solution?
if i tried the superboot for the new build when it comes out will it work?
does that mean my nexus s will not work forever?
please help

boot into recovery mode
then load another ROM
as a last resort you can use the Odin method, if you are unable to use fastboot methods

after flashing GRI40 by restoring from rom manager i got stuck 2.3.3 unrooted!
if i boot into recovery mode it only recognizes update.zip and passing.zip
i thought of moving update.zip into the internal memory so recovery can recognize it but i cant the phone doesn't have a sd card.
please help

I manage to try this and have the same fate.
To fixit ,is easy. Follow the following.
Fastboot write the original boot.img from GRH78C to the phone,
Boot into recovery, re-apply update.zip
Once done, you are back in business.

Alternatively you can do the following:
1) Download the newest version of CWM from here (Google Nexus S, near the bottom of the list)
2) Boot your phone to the bootloader
3) Type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
4) Go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage
5) Download a different ROM like CM and place it on the root of your SDcard
6) Flash it
7) Golden!

Hi SWEETTOOTH, if your still stuck on the Google screen can I suggest Odin as a way forward (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947950) , it wll flash you back to stock 2.3.1, but it will you keep the latest baseband that ships with 2.3.3 (I9020XXKB1). I have used it twice with no problems.
You can then re root and proceed down another path?

guys please help i bought it last week now it doesnt work at all.
how to push update.zip with adb?
how to solve Permission denied problem?

Okay, if you want to test to see if fastboot sees your device do this:
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get an output on that, it sees your phone. Now assuming that works and assuming I understand what is happening to you correctly do exactly as I say:
1) Download and unzip this file and place on your desktop and place the recovery image into that folder.
2) Boot your phone into the bootloader
3) Type or copy the following into your terminal exactly
Code:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
that *should* work to get you into the custom recovery. From there do this:
1) Go to mounts and storage and chose mount USB storage.
2) Go to this thread and download either of them (one of them is rooted one of them is not. If you want to be rooted, download the rooted one if not download the unrooted).
3) Unzip the file to the root of your SDcard (it should be a folder called clockworkmod).
4) Eject the drive from your computer and select unmount on your phone.
5) Go to backup and restore and select restore and select the one named GRI40-2.3.3 or something like that (can't remember exactly what its named).
6) Reboot your phone. Follow the other instructions about how to prevent the stock recovery from overwriting CWM and how to flash CWM etc.

Did it work?

it says
/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img'
i feel like giving up all i need is to install the recovery but there's something wrong
fastboot cant see my device

Its no problem man, everyone should be able to use their phones however they like and rooting isn't easy. Sometimes people need a little help I know I did at first! hehe

Sweet, I have one last idea actually... try this:
Download this SDK http://www.box.net/shared/ljhg8t5sjh it should have everything including an older version of CWM which should still work (again unzip it to your desktop) and try using this command:
Code:
~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img
If it works you can flash the newest version of CWM through rom manager later.

Sweettooth, is your bootloader unlocked? Do you gave the unlocked padlock icon on the bottom of the screen when you first turn on phone and have Google logo?
If your bootloader got updated to gri40 you can't fastboot boot or fastboot flash if youre locked.
Try the fastboot oem unlock command from Mac Terminal, you can always say no to the warning that pops up if you dont want to go further. Be aware that oem unlock will wipe all data off the phone including sdcard photos and stuff.

TBH just use search in the Q&A forum, try something like "ICS Bootloop".

Yeah, but I don't have recovery cuz it didn't installed ...

Enter in bootloader and inject recovery via fastboot mode.

Can u say me how to do that ? I know only revolution method which is not working (i think) in my case .

Remove and reinsert the battery. Hold vol-down&power and select fastboot. Search for adb and fastboot files on this forum and connect your sensation to USB.
Download the 4ext zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
Unzip IMG file and put in the Same directory of adb and fastboot. Type "fastboot flash recovery namefile.img"

Everything working now :]
Have u got any ideas how to get access to phone memory ? I need /data/misc/wifi/ to (i hope) fix my wifi .

Try adb and mount data
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12957423&postcount=7

It says "device not found" ? Huh ?

Mmm...try with Droid explorer with your phone in fastboot mode

Thanks A Million

You just saved my night, it is 2:30 am and after long hours of trying without results your answer gave me results in 2 minutes. great job broooo

There is no wpa_supplicant.conf there through droid explorer ...
@I have put it to my phone pulling it out from arhd rom but it does not work ... Near WiFi MAC Adress and Bluetooth Adress there is "unavaiable" .

Delete the file and android i think he recreates a new one.

No , it's not creating a new one ... And one from arhd extracted rom put to correct direction is not working ... And it's not hardware , i'm sure .

[Q] Nexus 5 power button doesn't work anymore

Hi everybody,
So, there is my problem, I bought the nexus 5 in November. I rooted it.
And the last wednesday, while using my phone, the power button decided to not respond anymore.
The phone still worked but two days ago the batery became empty and now I can just go in the "bootloader menu" and the "download mode".
Google accepted to replace my phone, but I really want to save my files. And like you certainly know we can't save our files with the phone Off.
But my phone is detected in this two modes.
I installed the nexus driver but I still can't open my files.
I pretty sure there is a way to save my files, I searching and trying but nothing work, I would open my phone if I can activate the power button manually but I don't know how.
If you have any solution, I'll take it.
Per-haps the ADB can help me ? But I don't know how to use it.
Thanks a lot for reading.
Have a good day !
Ps : I'm new here please be gentle if I don't understand directly
And sorry for my poor english.

You can use a fastboot command to boot into recovery: fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img if you have TWRP Recovery.
Then you will be able use to use adb commands to backup your data.

Hmm, Have I to start eclipse ? Where can I find the "sdk platform" ?
I found a folder who have that name but nothing happens when I run the exe files.
And in eclipse nothing had that name.
Edit : Sorry I did'nt understand before. I'm trying your command in this folder, but it say me that there is no such files in this directory. Could you explain me ?
Edit 2 : Okay I have to read better i guess, I don't have TWRP, I'm downloading it, could you just explain me a little how does it work ?
Edit 3 : With the command "adb devices" I can't see my phone :/ Have I to surrender ?

1. First off, you have to install and set up adb & fastboot on your PC. Here is a great tutorial: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
However you can use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. To boot into recovery mode from bootloader, connect your phone to PC then enter this command into cmd:
fastboot devices (check if your N5 is connected otherwise)
fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img (you can download the latest TWRP img from this website)

With the two methods, no devices are found. But when I try with an other phone, nothing is dected too (debug mod enabled).
I tried to remove driver and update with all sources but nothing apparently work per-haps my debug mode is disabled ? ...
Edit :
Okay fastboot device detected my phone !
The guaranty will stop if I use the second command ?
And last thing, where I need to put the img ?
Thanks a lot I looking at the end of that problem *o*

Nope because you only BOOT and not FLASH TWRP.img. Actually I say TWRP because I have this recovery but I think you can use this command with the stock recovery. You just have to use recovery.img file from the factory images instead of TWRP.img.

Did you rename the downloaded file to "TWRP.img"? The file name must be the same into your command prompt.
Copy TWRP.img into your platform-tools folder then open a command prompt from this folder and enter: fastboot boot TWRP.img
The path is the directory of your file you want to use. If you open the command prompt from the folder you have TWRP.img (platform-tools) then you don't need to mention the path.

I think the bootloader needs to be unlocked first for "fastboot boot twrp.img" to work? Isn't it? If unlocking wasn't necessary, everyone would've just booted recoveries to root their phones. (so that the sdcard doesn't get erased).
I sincerely doubt that the OP has an unlocked bootloader.

Actually I never tried fastboot boot command on a locked bootloader. If it requires an unlocked bootloader and OP has a locked one I have no idea to recover his data.

you are right i was on the wrong location with the correct fastboot, last night i tried several fastboot installations the only thing they gave me was a bunch of unwanted programs installed (removed now)

Can I still install any recovery(CWM or TWRP) after I have forgotten my password?

My question is: Is there any way that i can install any custom recovery now, when I am locked out of my phone, so I can try Method 7 from this post . I have enabled USB debugging, but for some reason, my device is unauthorized from executing adb commands.
I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and have forgotten its password. I have tried Method 2, 5 and 6 from this post, but to no avail.
I tried method 2 and 5 which requires ADB to be installed, but I was not able to access my phone. I have USB debugging enabled and my phone is not rooted. When I tried to run the following code:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
it showed that my phone is unauthorized and error: device unauthorized This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Here's the screenshot:
When trying method 6, I had to change the path of ADB driver because the file I downloaded from the post, had its own ADB driver which clashed with my already installed ADB driver, but even after that, it again showed the above error. Here' the screenshot:
Finally I want to try method 7 from the above post, which requires custom recovery to be installed on the phone, is there any way now?
Though it seems now that the I have only one option left and that is to factory reset my phone, but if , there is any other way by which I can bypass my lock screen, please please please inform me.

Of course you can. Just boot your phone into fastboot and do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name>.IMG" and you'll flash it. And you can't access the adb because your screen is locked... This is how companies prevent phone hacking
So flash custom recovery, backup the /data , factory reset and after resetting restore the /data backup. And you're good to go. I suggest you using TWRP, because I use it and it never left me hanging Keep me updated.

OK... So first boot into fastboot. When you've done that, connect It to your pc with usb, download fastboot package from somewhere on xda(you'll find it).
Open command prompt "CD" to the directory where your fastboot is located in, put recovery image in the folder where fastboot.exe is and type "fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name>.IMG". I'm gonna update this answer in 2 days, when I get to my pc, so try to do it by these instructions, if something isn't working, comment and we'll resolve the problem. If something isn't clear, just ask. Keep me updated.

Can unlocking my bootloader somehow brick my phone?

Everything can brick your phone. Updating my lenovo phone with official update hardbricked mine... But yeah, it can.
