I upgraded from JF 1.41 RC30 with no problem, Radio and all, good luck!

So far you are the only person with this problem so we are running through the basics.
Did you get any errors or messages during the update? Did the phone run out of battery mid update? Did anything odd or unusual happen?
quick question in while in the topic, had he done a FULL nandroid backup and was able to atleast get to boot screen would he be able to restore his phone? just a quick questions because to this day i have no idea how the nandroid thing works i cant do it on my x64 vista either and dont see how it comes in handy lol. Sorry just trying to fig it out.
after i tried to install the radio update it showed some sort of chip with an arrow and then it froze for over 10 mins so i ended up taking out the battery
@zgjbeta Yes. If you can get to the blinkin android screen, your not really bricked. Nandroid would fix it right up.
If it wont even turn on, like your case. I dono what to tell you.
For starters, try to connect it to a wall outlet to make sure its not the battery.
Also tell us exactly what happened during the update process.
EDIT: I read your most recent post. That's strange because everyone gets the chip thing, you shouldve tried home + back or menu + green + red.
One of those wouldve most likely worked.
Good luck.
Also maybe try to take it out again and put it back in.
I had the chip and arrow after the radio update, I didn't take the battery out, started pressing random keys, lol... and then it went away and booted back to a JF recovery style screen. Pressed home + back and it rebooted to a stuck flashing android. Then did call+menu+end to reboot and it has worked fine ever since.
There is definitely something whacky going on...
yes i tried to do the home key plus end and camera plus end options while in that chip state but didnt do anything so i resolve to take out the battery and it wont turn on again. i also tried all the button reset combo nothing happens
If it wont even turn then there is really nothing that can be done. Another thing I would try is if you know someone else with a G1 try their battery.

Also try cleaning the battery contacts in the phone and on the battery. This happened to one of my dumbphones once - cleaned out the battery contacts and it worked again. Bizzare situation, simple solutions first.
You might've turned it off while it was writing a vital file. Thus your phone might be bricked.
Here's an idea - sent it back to T-Mobile/HTC - and I don't think they will notice you violated your warranty until it's too late (they have to fix your phone to find out) so you could just refuse to pay and have them send it back to you.
I too saw the chip with the arrow thing, so that makes 3 people in this thread. It happened when I did the radio update. Anyway, in my case, I held down the recovery mode keys for a while and it went to the menu. Then I just rebooted and everything was great. Glad I didn't take out the battery (I considered it).
I had the chip and just waited and it took care of itself. Just be patient people.
plug in the wall charger, wait 10 seconds, then hold the red power button for 3-5 seconds then release, it should turn on
i tried that didnt work anymore advice?
also is there any way to run diagnostics of this phone to pc to make it work?
If the phone won't turn on, go back to the T-Mobile store and ***** em out. Not much else to say if we can't even get power to it.
First I want to say I love this forum.
I believe I have a unique problem. I searched around on forum and couldn't find my issue.
My infuse is completely unmodified, I haven't rooted or flashed any roms. My phone suddenly restarted today and now it just keeps flashing the "SAMSUNG" logo on the screen over and over every 2 seconds. I tried putting it into download mode but the problem is once I put the battery, it automatically turns on ... So theres no time for me to do the sequence. I'm not sure how else I can get it into download mode. I have all the odin software and stock roms from the other threads.
Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks for help in advance.

Alright, its been a while since I've troubleshot on stock but, here goes. If you can't get download mode,(Pull battery, reinsert, hold both VOL +/- while plugging in USB) try this first:
Make sure the device is off.
Power it up and repeatedly tap the far left soft key until the phone boots.(now i'm not 100% sure, but I think the ATT bootanimation has to show up first before tapping, but trying won't hurt)
If that doesn't work you could try a hard reset: (Warning, this WILL erase all data)
To make my life easier, I'll just link the how-to's lol:
LINK
LINK
Now these have slightly varying methods, so I linked both. Good luck!
Hopefully you have already fixed the problem by now, but one other thing to consider is the possibility that the USB port is messed up. This can happen pretty easily on these phones if you use a USB cable other than the one that came with it. It is possible for the phone to get confused and think that there is a cable plugged in even when there isn't. I have this problem with one of my Infuses and it causes the exact same symptoms you have described. I usually just plug in the original cable and wiggle it around a little, then unplug it and try it again.
In my case the problem started when I unknowingly plugged a Logitech USB cable covered in mustard into my phone. Don't ask how it got there because I sure as heck don't know. All I can say is I now keep my cables away from my three year old.
I tried all those suggestions and it didnt work, please keep in mind that once I put my battery in it AUTOMATICALLY turns my phone on. Theres no way for me to have it off with the battery in. So I cant hold the buttons down while its off and then plug it in. Or do recovery mode or anything. I am using the cable that came with the phone.
Also, all it does is the samsung logo comes on the screen for 2 secs then goes off for 2 secs and that process repeats for eternity... When I plug it in the battery charge meter starts to come up and then the screen goes black, and then that repeats the same way ...
Before you guys suggest to take it back to AT&T i already did. They said it needed to be reflashed ... So they tried, and told me that they couldn't even do it because it was messed up so bad. And they said they couldn't replace it because I have a small crack in my screen EVEN THOUGH he told me that he knows that isnt related to the problem! Are you kidding me? Great way to treat loyal customers ... AT&T are cheap bastards.

Try these steps.
1. switch off the phone.
2. remove the battery.
3. connect the phone to computer (without battery)
4. press both volume up and down buttons.
5. put the battery and wait to open in download mode.
Yeah I have the same problem, and it is my first and only att phone without an upgrade till 2013. If you figure out how to fix it please tell me.

The power button should make a distinctive clicking sound when pressed. Are you getting that sound?

Yes it makes clicking sound when I press. Is JIG is the only option left ?

Just a quick review of download mode: Pull battery.
Connect USB to phone from a known working USB port on computer. (Infuse drivers installed.)
While continuing to hold down both volume up and volume down (no power button),
insert battery.
Should see download mode screen after 2-4 seconds.
If no, a jig is the least expensive option at around $2. You can also send it to a repair service, think I read that is around $50.00. Good luck.

Take out the battery for a few seconds and put it back; then while holding Volume UP (+) press the Power Button.

Nothing. Happens it don't light up or power on at all. It is not reconized on computer either. It's hard bricked.
Make sure the Battery is charging...
How can I make sure the battery is charging when no lights come on at all? All I do know is I had it plugged in for a while yesterday and it got really warm. But no lights whatsoever. The screen doesn't light up at all neither does the led.
??????
There are no notification lights on the D720, but when you plug it in with a charger, you should see a battery bar on the display.
Other than that, you are probably right about hard-brick.
I, luckily, never had a "brick" on the Nexus S, so someone else with experience may wanna chime in. But Google and YouTube are your friends.
Sorry...

Please help me, i have the same problem
been awhile since any action here. saved mine with JIG method once but this time it won't work ??!(why) , in search of a solution again! -> hardbrick #2 on this device!
You guys can try a USB Jig. If that does not help, I think JTAG is what you need.
Jesus... just to revive this thread (and this concept of hard bricking), I think I just accidentally bricked mine as well.
Here's exactly what I did:
One moment, it was working spectacularly - fully stock, but unlocked. I had just listed it on eBay, too.
So I ran a factory reset on it (from the Settings menu), also "erase USB storage".
Then, after it shut down for the reboot, I pulled the battery.
...
That was it. Now it doesn't turn on for anything whatsoever. No device detected on USB when plugged into PC. Remove, replace battery, hold VolUp+Power, nothing. Plug into power adapter, nothing. Nothing at all.
But the back does get lukewarm after a minute or so, as if it's alive in the head but frozen, unable to start the bootloader.
WTF? I also have 2 more of these Nexus S 4G's, and both of them seem to have Flash storage chips that exhibit the same behavior when their chips are placed in (this) working motherboard. They can't boot. When I try to "hot-flash" it by booting the bootloader then swapping the Flash chips, they can't flash anything (this is probably to be expected). So, if I can get my ONCE-WORKING phone back to life, there's a good chance I can get another working as well (one just has a cracked glass, otherwise working mainboard & peripherals).
It's old, yes, but it's a damn shame to E-waste these things for a stupid software problem like this!
For quite a long time I did not make any change on Nexus ROM or applications, but yesterday my Nexus turns off while I was web browsing. I tried to turn it on but it refuses. It is only possible with USB cable plugged in, but then it constantly turns on for 1 second and then turns off, and this is going in endless loop as soon as USB cable is plugged in. But with unplugged cable NEXUS can not be powered on.
The video can be seen on this link

Yesterday I somehow manage to get in recovery mode and I wipe cache and Nexus boot ROM, but after 30 minutes of usage it again turns of by itself. After that for more than 100 times I tried to get to recovery mode but I could not.
So, I think that my only chance to wipe cache and put new ROM is through ADB. But I do know how to do that. Can anyone help me?
P.S. I both my NEXUS in US, but I live in Croatia (EU) and Google tells that they can not make exchange for other NEXUS (although my phone is under warranty) because they can only do that for postal address inside US. Because I do not live there and any of my friends or relative will travel in US soon my only way to get my NEXUS working is through ADB.
sounds as your power button is "stuck'.

It usually helps the button back out again, I think you should RMA to LG, I'm sure they're worldwide. You could always open up the phone and try unsticking the power button if you can't be bothered sending it back.

Power button is not what cause the problem. I found many reports about the same problem, like on this page
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/29tr5n/nexus_5_wont_turn_on_google_screen_keeps_flashing/
but nothing which I tried did not helped. But certainly power button is not causing the problem.
When the problem appears for the first time I manage to get into recovery and wipe cache, and after that phone booted ROM. After 30 minutes of working phone turns off and now I'm not able to get even into recovery.

So, since shaking, hard wacks, and anyting physical did not helped after your post I dismantle my phone and without back plate and upper plate on chips my phone works perfectly. So it seems that upper plate which covers chips is the cause of the problem.
For me, not even disassembling has helped, so I bought another motherboard and put it into my phone.

the problem occured and i found what it was my power button it wasnt staying in place like its tilting so now i got to buy a new button for it :/
As far as I remember, the button is soldered to the board, and can not be bought separately. I know the second thing for sure, since I was also only searching for a separate button in the beginning...
Hello,
I had an accident and after that my Nexus 5 screen was broken. So I decided to buy an new one from Amazon (~60$) and I tried to replace the screen on my own.
Yesterday I replaced the screen with a YT-Video, then I charged my Nexus 5 an the "Charging-Symbol" showed up.
After that I left the house for 2 hours and when I came back (I left the Nexus at home for charging ofc.) I tried to turn on the phone and nothing happened.
Then I tried to press power and volume down to get into the boot-menu and this also worked and the screen showed everything perfectly (!) and then I tried to start my handy from the boot-menu.
Until then everything has worked well but during the start progress I noticed that the (starting-)animation is really slow and laggy, so I decided to try to reboot my phone by holding power off for around 10 secs.
I tried to start my phone one or two times more and tried to get into the boot-menu, restart bootloader, etc. and then I realized that my phone didn't even want to work anymore. I could(and can) neither get into the bootmenu nor simply start it...
Do you have any ideas?
What suprised me the most is that it stopped working so quickly, so I concluded that I replaced the screen right but anything else went wrong...
Please help me :/
PS:
USB-Debugging is turned off and I cant access my phone with my pc or anythin else
Leave the phone on the charger for about an hour and then try to get into the bootloader.
When my phone is in the process of booting and I force it to power off by holding down the power button, it will not power up until I either leave it on a charger for a bit or leave it power off for a bit, usually 5 to 20 minutes.

Thanks, now I could get into my phone and enable USB-Debugging with much lock D)
My problem is, that my phone runs very unstable and shuts down often so I can't really work with it.
Do you know any solution and the more important question:
How can I save my data? I think, that I can save it anyhow if I enabled USB-Debugging with the bootloader and a pc, can't I?
Yes, you could pull the data from the phone using ADB commands.
You could also flash twrp to the phone. Once flashed, you could boot into twrp, mount the data partition, and copy data from the phone to the computer.
You could also use twrp to create a nandroid backup for safekeeping.
Is it possible that there is a loose connection in the phone? Have you tried disassembling and re-assembling?

My charger cabel was broken but now I got a new one!
I can start my Nexus (with some issues) and it runs but sometims it still shuts down and always when I try to plug in my cabel into the Nexus the screen gets black (but on the side you can see that the screen is light up in some way, idk...)
Is there a reason for the heating and for the shut downs? :/
I'm not sure but it seems like the screen has suffered a hardware malfunction because you can see that the backlight is on but no image.

Reset, etc..
With a hardware failure, there's nothing that software can fix. Did you try disassembling and re-assembling the phone?
With the old screen, can you see anything on screen? Did the phone power up and charge properly? If yes, put on the old screen to test the other components to see if it charges and powers up.

With the old screen, can you see anything on screen? Did the phone power up and charge properly? If yes, put on the old screen to test the other components to see if it charges and powers up.

Yeah first sentence makes sence..
I swapped software and hardware, sry
my other screen doesn't work at all, completly destroyed...
The problem is that I can't imagine what should be the failure...
And yeah, I already tried disassembling and re-assembling it...
Still same problem
I have used cheap 3rd party screens to replace a few N5 phones and they quality is very inconsistent so I wouldn't be surprised if a 3rd party screen fails after a short period of use.

Nahh but the screen works I think..
Everything looks clear etc and the screen wasn't really cheap with 65$-70$ I guess..
I think it's something else because my phone gets really on near the CPU and this can't be because of the screen...
Where did you get the screen?
If it gets really hot near the cpu, then something else is going on. Could it be possible that there is a short-circuit somewhere?
Since the value Canadian dollar has dropped, I'm also paying about $60 for what was a $40 screen.

Yeah, I also thought about a short-circuit but I don't know how I can test this.
When I try to start my phone it fails like 4-5 times and then it works most of the time. The fail looks the following:
The "Google" logo appears and then suddenly the screen gets black, but not the "out"-Black (so that screen it out), I mean the "on, but black"-Black (hope u can understand.. xD)
During this 4-5 Tries my phone feels like 40°C-50°C (sry im from Germany, idk the conversion to °F value.. )
After this (I got the phone running one time for about 20 minutes) the phone doesn't heat up so much, if it starts right I think that the temparatur problem is over, but there is still the problem (also if the phone is running for 20 minutes) that it suddenly shuts down... :/
Sorry, idk much about canadian dollar, like I said im from germany and I payed around 65€
Google says, that this is around 67 (US-Dollar)
I don't know what to suggest other than either getting a new battery or new screen. Both items can be very expensive.
