Hi everyone,
I've got a big issue, my nexus S is not rooted and bootloader is still lock. As I said, my power button is broken....I've tryed to install driver from the nexus toolkit(and many others...), it worked but my nexus is reconized as "Acer ADB"...After that, I did "adb reboot bootloader" the nexus get into fastboot, but the computer cannot see it at all..not even in devices manager. When i'm on fastboot, nothing works, volume button and power are not responding(volume normaly work when booting OS).
Please help me !
Anyone?

Unless you have Gingerbread, you cannot root without your power button.
You can't scroll in fastboot and it doesn't get recognized because the power key is "stuck" on. It's a known issue when the power button fails on the Nexus S. Some people had moderate luck blasting compressed air around the power button, other opening it up and cleaning it with alcohol.
Thanks for answering.. I'll probably try to clean the button, i asked someone who repair Android phone and he told me that there was no fix for this button issue -_- that sound weird...

There's no easy fix though, it's true. I don't think anyone sourced the power button switch so as to order a few of them and beside it's a SMD component, quite tiny for some inexperienced (and even experienced) people.
If I was certain it was a power switch physical issue, I could likely source the part somewhere or exchange for similar and offer to repair people Nexus S, but my phone is fine and I surely won't take someone else phone to test.
Hello guys!
- I've unlocked the bootloader
- I've flashed CM11 and it was working very well
- I flashed (xperia apps, Gapps)
- until now everything is going well
- Then I spend about two days to enable SWAP-function
To expand my phone memory
:good:
- I did everything step-by-step (Busybox, link2sd, partition for SD card fat32-ext4-linuxSwap , init.d, ...etc)
- Then after i used SWAPPER 2 and Swapit expander my phone was working
But I said If i reboot the phone it'll be better to make the Swapper apply the changes!
And that was the last time I see the screen on!!!!
Can I say now R.I.P my phone
My Sony xperia L now (Doesn't boot, No notification light, doesn't charge, No fastboot, No flashboot, Not recognized by computer app Pc ompanion or fastboot or flashtool ....) Simply it's DEAD
But when i plug it to my laptop I hear that sound when you plug any USB device...
The first time I plugged it after it died .... I noticed the laptop is downloading some driver "Qualcom ..." or something like that name
Is that the CPU driver!? and why it only detect the CPU!?
- I noticed when i plug it to my laptop if it didn't recognized the phone, i press on power button so it makes that sound when i attach any other usb device.... after few minutes it makes that sound when I removed the usb device but i can press again on the power button and it recognize it again
I tried to press volume up + power buttons for minutes!!
I tried to press volume down + power buttons for minutes!!
volume up + down + power ....
camera button + power ...
But there is no response!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP ME PLEASE!

yes your motherboard is dead this can be repaired only in service center, I told this to everybody, that swapping or any playing with partitions is potecialy dangerous, and this is for second time I see swapper bricked xperia l
sorry
Thank you guys
But is there any way to repair it?! even if there is 1% Probability to fix it .
Like if i take it to a Sony service center in other country (Without warranty - voided)
Any suggestions dudes?
OR It's better to throw it in the street and forget this issue ...

If d motherboard is dead wic maybe d issiue nothing can be done, if it is soft brick there is a chance..well in htc one development theres an awesome dev who hs fixed hard brick (motherboard dead )phones..but someone has to write scripts fr tht! But there r not many bricked devices. So no one will leaves u with sony centre..they'l change it..bt nt sure hw mch it'l cost u.

The people at service centers will most probably change your motherboard, and the amount they charge for this can get you a MUCH better phone than this.
So think about this :angel:
Veroxpre not
Thank you Guys!
So it seems like the motherboard is corrupted (as you mentioned)
And if I take it to a Sony service center ..(in other country) => it'll cost me a lot .... like a new phone
I thought maybe there is something on the motherboard (IC, chipset, ROM, ...) and it's flashable by the its company
and only the Sony centers have the appropriate device to do that.
Have you ever heard about something like that guys?
Thanks in advance :good:

Please don't dare to do it. It is not the hard reset button it is secondary microphone for noise cancelation and voice recording for video. And if you press it with needle it will get damage. I don't know how it is possible for you but that is not the way for xperia L

Well i dont know but i pressed that button and it worked for me. I think the microphone button is the hole below the screen. Or try this method : press and hold power button + volume up for several seconds. (I get it from the internet, i dont know does it work or not )

Now it's in the maintenance center but it's not a Sony center
So I'll tell you if anything new happened
This happened with my Samsung ace
Titanium backup tried to access partition and phone was hard bricked..
No switch on
Not charging
Not even detection through odin(flashtool in xperia)..
Every repair shop told me to change motherboard..
But i found one super intelligent repairer
He used his tester and pulses were visible on the screen..
He said your ram is corrupted..
9 out of 10 repairer told me only solution is to change motherboard including official Samsung official centre
So may be this can be your problem..
I tried every way like jtag(home made resistor)
But none of the method worked..
Same thing happened to me.... Please help me too...

hi every body!
I have an original shield tablet, also it effected by kill switch.
I try to delete the TegraOTA.apk by following the instruction of @Bogdacutu http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489 then it's ok for a month.
But the trouble is when I change the IMEI (successfull) then update OTA3.1.1 via recovery. At this time, any thing also ok, but I did't delete TegraOTA.apk again, then turn on wifi for try to get OTA4.0 directly. unfortunately the tablet was shutting down after one minutes, then automatically boot to recovery before change to black screen . I understood that skill switch is activated!!! Although IMEI different !
Now when connect to PC, it become a APX device, in details http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Nvflash
I try for some of solution but all of them not work. Also solution of @carlompms
good evening,
I received my recall tablet yesterday, before connecting the new one, I installed a new rom, for now I have 2 tables to work.
in the process I do not know what I did my tablet brick in apx mode.
for exit apx mode I connected to the PC, press power button until you hear the disconnect sound on pc(tablet turn off)
Press "Volume Down" -> "Power", hold "Volume Down" and leave Power buttons till device boots
It may work for you too

Then if @Thepiewarrior, if you can read this post, please instruct for me that, how can you clear your trouble before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/help/unlocked-bootloader-rooting-shield-t2995472 tks.
So, after my trouble, every one should remember that, must be deleted the TegraOTA.apk before go to online, then maybe all of solution try to change IMEI may be should't work.
Now, I waiting for some of solution from the expert (such as nvflash...), maybe there're some of member like me...
Hello,
Yesterday, while my phone was in idle, it turned off and rebooted on the classic red writing on black screen error.
I realize that there are many bootloader exception topics, but I searched and the only one topic I found was on a polish android forum, which I had to translate and that could not help me.
That because the exceptions may be many but I found that error only once.
The error is:
Code:
Bootloader exception
[RST_STAT = 0x1000000]
Exception: do_handler_sync: DABT_EL1(esr: 0x96000010)
pc: 0x8f0221b4 lr:0x8f022170 sp:0x8f10fe60
Phone is stuck in that screen until the battery dies.
I tried to get into download mode (to flash a new bootloader) but every combination doesn't work, it just turn off the screen and then after 30 seconds - 1 minute it reappears.
I read online that may be a mobo issue.
Is there any way to recover the phone, put it in download mode or at least recover the data there's inside?
Thanks for the support
Also having same issue
Have you managed to find a solution to this? I am having the same issue, and this is the only thread I can find which matches what my phone is doing.
Same as you, I haven't recently done anything to modify the firmware, I woke up this morning to find the exception text, and when rebooting via the Home + Power + Volume Down combination it jumps me straight to the same exception screen with no boot logo.
Hopefully there's some information around that can resolve this, but unfortunately I currently can't find it

No, unfortunately my phone is still stuck on that exception red text (not a single green one like the one i found online).
I bought a cheap USB Jig, trying to force the phone in the download mode but it doesn't work, my guess is that since the phone doesn't actually turn off, it can't "jump-start" on that mode (with the Jig).
Online I found that people just kept pressing the Vol Down + Power + Home and "eventually" (after 100+ tries) the download mode happens, but I doubt that's in my case.
The only solution I could find that could help me in the future is that 1. Phone is dead, eMMC and motherboard cannot start. 2. Since the phone could be (difficultly) tore down, the best bet is that you find a data recovery center (not Samsung since as I found out they don't do data recovery, but they simply change everything giving you a new phone basically or they change the motherboard, so deleting everything) or a data recovery specialist so that you could disassemble the phone, remove the memory, and read the content on a chip reader.
In this case maybe there's a chance to recover the simple data you have (photo, video, music, documents and something else that has a recognizable header) but probably everything else is lost.
I would be more than happy to be proven wrong since I'm not an expert but it's been 2 weeks and I received no answers.

Morning.
The way out of this is to flash either the firmware that is on your phone or just the bootloader file (BL) from that firmware. Both options are done via Odin with your phone in download mode. So just to be clear, Download Mode is availble before the phone looks at the boot partition.
So, hold volumedown+home+power (press and hold the power button last in this sequence).
You may notice that your phone won't go into downlaod first time but it should not take more than 3/4 attempts. Do Not release the buttons until Downlaod Mode appears, no matter how many attempts it takes. Keep them pressed the whole time even when it's powering off and on, this is the part people do wrong.

That's it.
But even if I keep the combination pressed the phone doesn't enter in download mode. Usually (and I've seen a good amount of videos) if you keep volume down + home + power pressed, the phone boots up, then goes into the bootloader exception, then it reboots, then it goes into the exception and so on until it gets to download mode. That's not my case. I tried to keep them pressed for 10-15 minutes while it was showing the error and there was no more than one "attempt" (it doesn't restart more than one time per combination).

The fact is that it doesn't power off and on multiple times, but just one time.

Ok forget that one for now.
Try the following.
Boot phone so the error appears.
Then just press and hold the Home button only until the Android robot appears on screen.
Now press volume down+home+power and it should after a few seconds reboot into downlaod mode, if it does just repeat the process from the start.

I'm guessing my phone is one of the older version. Pressing repeatedly the Home button or holding it should trigger the "forced upload by key pressing" with the android logo (as i've seen in videos and images), but mine doesn't.

OK, the only sensible conclusion is that your phone has suffered some sort of hardware failure, its isn't unheard of. It'll likely cost you more to diagnose and repair than to buy a new S7 since their really cheap now.
It may be worth just looking to get your data recovered, which will be cheaper.
I'm not a fan of changing the mother board it's messy and the phone will never look perfect.
What country are you in?

I honestly don't care about the phone, it has not sentimental value or something. Since I read here, on reddit, youtube and online that there were method like keeping pressed the combination, pressing the home button repeatedly or holding, using a jig, and others maybe someone knew what could I do to restore it. The weird thing was that I wasn't flashing anything nor using the phone, so the hardware failure option may be plausible.
The recovery of data (and I tried when I wrote my last post to re-use adb, maybe i was missing something but the phone is "recognized" by the computer but not with "adb devices") is the only solution I can think of, and there's the chip-off method that could at least recover the major data (photos, videos, documents). If there's anything else I'm all ears.

Pressing the power button for even a minute doesn't trigger anything. I assume that you're talking about the upload mode activated by holding the home button or pressing it repeatedly, showing the android logo and having adb recognize the device to then flash something or recover something. That is not my case, it doesn't happen to me unfortunately.

I have the exact same problem. This is the closest thing I could find on the internet I could find regarding diagnosing it. Had to make an account just to reply. I was thinking it was a OS problem for the longest time, but I suspect that it may be a hardware problem after all. My s7 did this to me the morning of Jan 9. Set it down and came back to it, reboot with bootloader error, red text only, no combinations of buttons work etc. I see that two others in the thread had theirs fail around the same time as well.
Just wanted to update, not sure if anyone is still reading this thread. I plugged my s7 onto my old laptop (windows 7). My laptop recognized it and installed 2 drivers. They are:
"SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device"
"SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem #2"
I've plugged into this old laptop before and transferred files around, so it doesn't seem to make sense to me why it would install these drivers now. It still doesn't show up in "My computer" at all. I believe normally it shows up in "My computer" as an empty folder when charging although I don't recall 100%. Hopefully this might help with diagnosing this problem.

Probably it's because when it's in recovery mode, in download mode or this (bootloader) "error mode" it's recognized differently by the computer, to be recognized by ADB and Odin to flash roms and others. Instead when you plug it in when it's on, it's recognized to transfer data, and I believe when you swap MTP (for normal data transfer) and PTP (using the camera) you should also installing different drivers.
Anyway, I noticed too that the device is recognized differently than usual, and differently when rebooting it with the cable plugged in. (Also the name of the device is different when using the 300k tool, in fact my device is recognized as a "Modem")

I was wondering if you installed any apps recently and how full your internal memory was. I believe my phone was around 90% full of the 32GB, had no warning symbol about how full my memory was though. Friend was saying I should of got a warning if my memory was getting near capacity. I installed F-droid recently and used it to download Adaway app. Deleted F-droid and deleted Adaway since I couldn't get Adaway to work. Never rooted my phone. I was curious if you also did anything similar to what my phone did since we're in the same boat. Otherwise the only things we share in common is we set it down and it reboot with this bootloader error.

Hello,
My wife's Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact with model number H8324 has an issue with booting or maybe the launcher getting stuck in a loop after getting to the lock screen for a split second.
The phone seems to boot like normal and gets to the lock screen, we are even able to punch in one or two digits of the 4 digit pass code. Then it goes into a loop of the notification bar and back button flickering. From then on the phone is not responding except for the power button which brings up the normal "Turn off, Reboot, and Lockdown" menu. The issue just started out of nowhere yesterday morning and we haven't been able to fix it yet. We haven't done any rooting or custom rom flashing, it's running the official Sony software but it's out of warranty.
Here's a video showing the issue. The video shows the whole boot process but the link takes you to the last part after the logos.
We would love to get some files off it so if there is a way anyone can help us with that we'd prefer it over a hard reset.
Things we've already tried
Turning the phone off and on again
Unlocking the phone in the split second the lock screen works, this is just too short to swipe up and then put in four digits.
Rebooting the phone
Booting while charging
Booting into safe mode (this has the same issue)
Connecting the phone with USB to a pc, the phone is recognized by Windows, but it doesn't share it's filesystem with Windows.
Connecting the ADB to it, alas usb debugging is not yet enabled on the phone
Trying to get into recovery mode, we haven't been able to get into the recovery menu. Googling seems to indicate it might be holding volume up + power button when the phone is off but then it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
We're currently trying to run out the battery of the phone to see if that will resolve the issue on it's own.
If anyone has any idea, we would love to hear it.

I think u just need to reinstall rom file with newflasher and stock rom , did u tried it ? with newflasher newest version , u still can keep the personal files and flash stock rom for the phone , then i think this phone will run normal again
If u dont know how to do that , reply comment here , but u should turn off the phone to keep battery well , if u can't turn off the phone , try to press and hold volume up button + power button within 5 sec , phone will vibrate 3 times and totally off
Is there a way to get a stock recovery if somehow the recovery has been deleted?
