After OTA update device got stuck on Google logo and somehow recovery is missing, Android on it's back with red triangle
Is there way to fix it with locked bootloader ?

With the android in his back, hold power button, press volume up.
Ouch, now I feel stupid, thanks!
Don't feel bad, I was in the same situation when I started playing with my nexus 4. Glad you got it working.

someone screwed with my sensation while it was getting an update now it is stuck on the HTC white screen and will not doing anything. I've held the power and volume down button and tried to recover and that doesn't work. I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff. I want to take care of it myself so any help would be great.

come on people i need some help here
take out the battery and put it back in..then hold power and volume down at the same time..did ya go into bootloader? You should.
Look at what firmare you have (hboot) and find out what firmware the rom you are trying to flash requires.. if your phone wont boot yet cause of wrong firmware..take out the sdcard and do it via from your pc. Add the correct files and then insert back your sdcard into phone and hold power and volume..go into bootloader and it should update.. hope that helps
First a question: Is your phone fully stock, meaning no mods like unlocked bootloader and S-Off? If yes: Return your phone to the store you purchased it from. If no: Follow previous advice.
hello frnds,
i am from india (duh) ...my friend bought a galaxy nexus s two days ago..
she had it up an running and it was working as it should.. but yesterday when she woke up..what she saw was that the phone won't boot up and a it shows a lock sign on the boot screen below google and that it was heating up badly... even the pc is not detecting it..i have the phone right now and i promised her that i'll fix it...
what should i do to keep up my promise!
bootloader is locked, phone won't boot
Hello,
The lock simply means that the bootloader of the phone is currently locked (as it is from the factory).
If it won't boot past the Google screen, try removing the battery of the phone for 10 seconds, then trying again.
If this fails, remove the battery again, replace the battery, hold down the UP volume button while pressing power until you see a green android screen. If you can see this screen, then use One Click Root 5.1 in the Development Thread for Nexus S or Nexus S 4G.
hmmm..
thank for the relpy,
well i have tried all that stuff i.e removing the battery for 10 sec..(didn't work)...
wen't to recovery mode(the green android thingi...) and tried recovery option won't work..
do you mean i should flash the firmware again by using one click?
thanks in advance!!:angel:
The lock sign means that the bootloader is UNLOCKED. If you didn't see the lock it would mean that the bootloader is locked (stock). The recovery option won't work because you haven't flash any custom recovery. In fastboot mode (volume up+ power button) it should say: LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED. This means that bootloader is unlocked. Use the toolkit (found in nexus s android development) to flash stock image.
Someone tried to do stuff to the phone and messed up.
thanks
i will try this let you know.:fingers-crossed:
thanks for the help:good:
What causes this though? I have codename jb And cwm 6 on my device and it randomly gets stuck on the boot screen through out the day
Okay, I have a 16 gig us moto g with a unlocked 4.4 boot loader, cmw recovery, and root. The other day I was going to flash the unofficial beanstalk rom, so I did the usual data wipe and what the installation guide said on the thread. I got stuck in a bootloop so held down the power button to try and reset the phone and get it to the bootloader menu but my screen went black. It has been black ever since, no matter what combination of button I press I can't get the screen to do anything, I have never had this problem before on any android device. Do you guys think if I contact Motorola they'll give me a replacement even though the bootloader is unlocked. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: fixed! I read on a faq that you sometimes have to hold power button for as long as 30 seconds so that's what I did and it worked
Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I had CM11 installed on my one x with 4.4.2, i decided id like to update it to cm12. So i read the instructions. I was S-off and supercid already .so i went to ruu 3.18. Got success in cmd line, reboot into bootloader. saw it worked. went to update to 5.18 at&t firmware as per the cm 12 instructions, i got success. but when i hit reboot, the htc logo just appears, and then it shuts off. It will not go into fastboot, bootloader, or recovery.
Is the phone bricked? or is there a way to fix this. This isn't my main device so i'm not too worried about it, just want to get it working if possible.

It isn't bricked, if it powers on at all it isn't a brick. Not being able to get to the bootloader is almost always a case of user error. To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.
With phone powered on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
With phone powered off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
Please post the first five lines.

You are correct, thanks for the help. I guess I wasn't doing the right technique to get into boot loader. (Volume down+power button) I was doing vol up.
Thanks again, all is well and running cm12 now.

**Edit** I managed to fix it. I'm an idiot. My case was preventing me from pressing/holding the buttons well. In a list ditch effort while setting up my OG Pixel XL i took the case off my oneplus 7 and the button combinations worked.
Can't get into recovery mode or bootloader mode. I believe I bricked it while trying to get newest OTA installed. OTA was failing so I was trying to return my phone to completely stock. Everything was fine until I hit complete uninstall on magisk and it rebooted my phone. I'm using magisk 19.2, newest stable release.
The only thing I see now is the one plus power on logo, then message about bootloader being unlocked. Pressing volume up+power button will get the phone to power on but never loads to bootloader mode, only a black screen after the warning screen about having an unlocked bootloader shows.. Volume down+power and volume up/down+power do nothing.
Any advice on this would be appreciated before I send it in for an RMA
