Nexus S not booting up

Hi
I got somehow a big problem.
I tried to update my Nexus S by mistake with the I9020A 2.3.6 Rom. It failed. At least somehow it said so.
Now i cannot load my phone normally. Sometimes I have to battery pull several times before the Nexus S boots up again. The other times it stays with a nasty "Google" on screen.
Even more strange. I cannot access the recovery submenu. It does stay at the same nasty "Google" on screen. It does no longer show up the triangle where you the can load an update.zip
What can I do?
Nexus S: GT-I9020
I9020XXXKB1
EUR
Thanks for help
Cheers

Since you said you can't access the recovery console and it gives you a google logo, I'm going to have to ask: Do you have access to the fastboot bootloader?
If so, are you rooted? If no, you have the option to take it in to get fixed or to root your phone.
If you decided to root/are already rooted, connect your phone to your computer while in fastboot, make sure all drivers are installed and use a command prompt to use the fastboot tools. The Unlockr's Nexus S rooting guide will be a huge help in guiding you where to be.
Does "fastboot devices" return anything on your computer, or is it empty?
(Sorry if you know most of this crap, but number of posts + lack of information in the OP + you saying you don't have a custom recovery = assuming you need a bot more in depth instruction.)

Thanks god I have been able to push the fastboot recovery console!
I did manage to access backup & restore and then load the stock 2.3.3 rom. I am back in business
Thanks for help. I think it is solved.
Cheers

Now make sure to make a backup.... helps save your a$$

[Q] Nexus SGT-i9020t Android 4.2 died. wont load OS

Hello!
I have unlocked Nexus SGT-i9020t with Android 4.2 and it died.
Recently I turned my phone on, and it simply didn't load.
All I see on startup is the Google logo that stays on the screen forever.
I have to take the battery out to turn it off. When I start it up again, Google comes up and blinks once, then stays on the screen forever as I said.
I tried pressing volume down + power and it doesnt do anything, it just turn on again, shows Google forever...
When I start the phone with volume up+power, I get to Fastboot Mode.
In fast boot, I tried to reboot my phone and the same problem occurred.
Then I tried to enter recovery, but that didnt help.
WHen I try to do a recovery on the phone, it loads Google, flashes 3 times and then I get a pic of a dead android.
Anroid on its back, with "!" in a red triangle.
I have some pix on the phone that Id like to keep if possible, and I have a windows computer.
Please let me know what steps I can take to recover pix if possible, and what do I do to restore the phone and get it up and running?
Also when I connect the phone to my Win8 computer, it makes a sound, so it knows that a device is connected to it. However, nothing shows up in My Computer. When I open device manager,I dont see anything there either. When I have it connected to my computer and the phone is in fastboot mode, I see it in device manager as Android 1.0 but still see nothing in My Computer
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

I think you should try to flash a new rom using fastboot.
The tutorial to install it on windows is here.
Then, follow this tutorial to flash a new rom on your device.
I would recommend you to try with CyanogenMod 10.
(the first link on this page would be good)
Just be sure that your phone is a Nexus S and not a Nexus S 4g!
Nexus S GT-I9020T is not the 4g, so if your sure of that, it is ok.
I'll follow the thread and wait for news of your problem...
Please press the thank button if I helped.

Vol+Up and flash new ROM. Make sure you're unlocked.

what should I do?.. I tried looking for divers and all, whatever came from samsung.com for nexus s didnt help.
I got Windows 8 btw

[Q] Nexus 5 Bootloop issue (PLEASE HELP!!)

I have a nexus 5 16gb model with an unlocked boot loader but I am NOT rooted. I was happily using it when I put it to sleep and the next time I went to use it it would not turn on. I plugged it in and put it on charge where all it does is boot loops. When it isn't plugged in it is useless. I can't access recovery because when I do it turns off again and starts to reboot. It is in a 3 second or so boot loop no matter what I do. I have a lot of files on there I need and I don't know what to do. The only thing I could think of doing was use the WugFresh nexus root toolkit and the flash stock when boot looping option but it wouldn't work because it couldn't find my devices fast boot ADB thing :/ My friend unlocked my bootlader and rooted for me but I unrooted because I didn't like it. I really need help even If i can just somehow lock the bootlader so my warranty isn't voided . Please anyone that knows anything about this give me any advice!

You should be able to get into fastboot, flash a custom recovery, and then go into that custom recovery and use adb to pull the SD card files.
Ask this question also in the nexus 5 q and a section for more help.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I am curious what this whole kabam is...is it a kdz? If so, you can grab an emergency tool, put the phone into download mode (IIRC, hold down the volume down button while the phone is turned off and insert the MicroUSB end of the cable (with your PC on the other end). With the right settings on the emergency tool, and with the kdz loaded, you can flash back to stock.
At any rate, I would explain your situation over here (if nothing more than a warning for others, you should find your assistance there as well):

Please note, you will need to be registered for an XDA account to post there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

[Completed] Possibly fully bricked... Please help me

I have an LG Stylo from MetroPCS. I have first I rooted, then twrp, following the Katana custom rom. Exposed came pre-installed. I attempted to install it. Next came the time to reboot the phone via exposed. Unfortunately I have oem locked, forgetting to leaving it unlocked. When I clicked reboot, the phone turned off but never turned rebooted past the LG screen again. All it will do now is keep flashing something like a secure booting error. There are numbers on the top left side of the screen flashing. I tried using the hard keys but it didn't help. What I did was when I turned the phone on I held the power and volume down buttons and when I saw the LG screen, I quickly let go and held them in again. This got me to the phone asking me if I want a factory reset. Normally by choosing yes, the phone boots into twrp but in my case the phone went back to the flashing numbers LG screen. I tried connecting the phone to a computer but when I plugged the phone into the USB it wouldn't show in my computer, even when I installed LG drivers. If I cannot fix this phone, I will have to pay a lot of money. Can someone please let me know whether this phone can really be fixed?

You are going to have to get phone in download mode and use the LG flash tool to flash it back to factory. Look here for guidance, but be aware this is for a boost model.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm just scared that the phone won't respond to another computer but I'll try. But I have another issue. My LG is one that has the buttons on the bottom. The only way that I know of trying to get the phone into recovery mode is to do it like I described before. But my phone will not go into my twrp.
