nexus bricked need help plz :(

hello..
so i bought a nexus s i9020t from a guy for cheap price...he told me he was updating to ics and someting went wrong and now his device wont boot up...
i can enter fastboot mode with vol+ and power button...but when i try to unlock bootloader it says failed(ive done this many times and with proper drivers and method)..and i cant flash any custom recovery or stock rom from fastboot(also im guessing usb debugging was off).. i also tried adamoutlers resurrection tool...
but it says
sbl injection failure
failed to find device
and that fails to put my fone into download mode..
im stuck and cant run my fone...any kind of help is appreciated..

as you were writing me by pm, i answering here....
#
unfortunatelly, i don't know how to fix it.
i am not familiar with adam outler's resurection tool, maybe a usb jig is working in another way, to bring you into dl mode

Doh. Seems you PMed all RDs around?
How about not unlocking it and just flashing stock Google ROM?

update: when i hold both volume buttons and insert the usb cable..odin recognises the device but the device does not show download mode...instead it shows unlock bootloader screen with no, yes or no options..and when when i flash a package with odin it also says failed...
and rebellos-- "how about not unlocking it and flashing stock google rom"......can u give me pointers how to do that..though i think i know..but nothing is leading me to anything fruitful
plz help me get my fone back..

need help..still in the same position...

[Q] Bricked Qualcomm's secondary bootloader, what to do?

Hello everybody,
I got my hands on this phone and I tampered too much with Qualcomm's FAT partition with the secondary bootloader, hardbricking the phone itself.
Trying to turn the phone on, shows the Samsung logo for some seconds then shuts down and disconnects, Download Mode is unaccessible but with VolUP+Home+Power the phone just stays connected (with the screen being black), but ignores any attempt to flash, Odin staying stuck on "SetupConnection...".
What I've tried already:
- Flashing with Heimdall -- phone isn't even recognized
- Removing the battery "trick" etc, etc, etc
- Changing .tar.md5 package
- Forcing a repartition with the .pit
Any clue might be useful, thanks in advance to anyone replying.

You shouldnt had to play with the bootloader neither the SBL
Im sorry to tell you that if your phone doesnt acces neither recovery and download mode it is hard bricked
that is why odin doesnt recognize the device
however, USB JIG is the best solution (the other one is changing the motherboard)
You can follow this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707 to build one
using this SHOULD work but its even possible your bootloader is so messed up that will not open
You told me there about download mode, what about recovery mode? althought it should not work maybe God gives you a second chance

Actually ODIN recognizes the phone, but hangs on "SetupConnection...", sure the simplest solution might be the jig if there's a secondary bootloader in situ.
Obviously the recovery mode is dead, but still, I saw that it bypasses Samsung's logo and just reboots.
Since it's Qualcomm, probably the microSD emergency procedure used on the S3s might be a fair try.
If someone has still a working phone, can please do a dd image of the first 100 MB of the EMMC so I can see if this option is viable?
Might be a nice solution for hard bricked Qualcomm-based Samsung phones to unbrick those.

First, for the SetupConnection try changing the ports but first BE SURE Kies is closed or end the task as Kies closes your connections using third-party programs
then reinstall samsung usb drivers or even adb drivers are good.
if you will find anyway to execute the command adb reboot-bootloader you could probably save the phone
2. I just read about the microSD procedure, it looks like a pretty clever idea
I wonder how do you know how many MB's you need
so i have done here a 70MB IMG, and with 100 didnt worked so I did a 99 MB one
Remember you need Class10 16 GB Card
If somehow this solved your problem, i will do a post in our General Section
Good Luck, i'll stay tuned.
EDIT: I just noticed the files have 169 MB so I can't post them here, tell me your email and i send you, my email is [email protected]

I don't have Kies installed, since I never kept any Samsung phone with the stock TouchWiz ROM, but only the USB Drivers package for ODIN and so on.
I sent you a PM with my e-mail address, but you could upload the img to MEGA or whatever file locker service...
In the case this get sorted, I'll upload the IMG over my server and drop the link, so you don't need to worry about the link expiring or whatever

Tried to burn the SD card, it seems that the 7227A doesn't support boot-from-SD.
Anyways, I ordered off eBay for some change a jig dongle, as soon as I get that I'll try that way, but I think that it won't work since most of the hardware components (except for the NAND) are not made by Samsung.
I'll let you know how it proceeds

download and open ADB driver installer
is your device showing here? or download and open adb shell and type adb devices
is your device listed here?
if yes then download stock rom for nokia x
and flash is with any flash tool (like odin)
(make sure you have installed your phone to the same pc before means you have drivers)
if your device not showing then contact nokia care (dont tell them your story otherwise your warrenty will over tell them only that your mobile is not turning on )

Sorry buddy...... Tried it... but no use

All we can do is to refer you to a service center. Sorry.
Moderators, please verify my account. I am sick of the five-minute post wait.
Sent from my XT1022 using the XDA Premium 4 app.

Try this..power the phone off, wait 5 mins, then press and hold power for 60 seconds, and check if you see any signs of the phone coming back to life. If not, then the next option is the service center

that too is not working.................Is there no one inthis whole XDA Universe who can help me..... come on guys there must be someone................:crying::crying::crying:

The five-minute post limit is lifted once you have reached 10 posts. The moderators have nothing to do with it, as the process is automated to lift the wait after you post 10 times.
The reason for this wait is to keep new users from rapidly posting uselessly just to achieve 10 posts.

Oops, sorry to get your hopes up.
I do actually have a few things to say about the real problem here:
1. Are you sure that your device is charged up? If not, make sure to plug it in to charge.
2. If charging isn't the problem, I'm going to give it a safe bet that your device is bricked. Like, turned into nothing more than a brick. (That's what "bricked" actually means ) If the device doesn't respond to the power button (which your posts have led me to believe), then there is no way to revive your device.

aah come on

You said you've cleared eMMC and also some boot related stuff.
Well, messing with your eMMC and boot partition isn't a good idea, if you wiped your entire eMMC partition it means you've also wiped bootloader stuff...
I'm sorry but looks like your phone is totally bricked....

First of all stop shouting...!
Are you sure you choose "advaneced menu" and not "mount and storage" ....?
Also me too I think your device is bricked...
If you can't recognise it from fastboot and adb and you can boot to bootloader and recovery mode it is bricked...

If your phone won't turn on at all, it's totally bricked. Only a motherboard replacement will fix it...

As you know your phone has hard bricked buddy
then you should also know you cant fix it
try odin and flash bootloader (if u can without open download mode)
or Nokia care is the best way...

Are you still able to start a fastboot flash?
If so (or you don't know) go to the Mi site and download tha stable global rom and try to fastboot flash it.

But can you start the fastboot via Volume Down-Power buttons?
So power down the phone, push Volume Down and keep it pushed.
Then press Power until you see the MI logo.
Release the power button, but keep the Volume down button until you see the Fastboot screen.
If that works, connect the phone to the computer and try again via fastboot flash.

Sorry, i missed that in the opening post.
Most people call it bricked when it is not, i was assuming that in this case too.
Sorry.
In this case i cannot help you, i don't have that info.

When it comes to a hard bricked device, I'll just go to a Xiaomi Service Center in the nearest place around me.
I don't really know about Xiaomi's warranty policy, because they're vague. They don't have a clear policy for rooted devices. For Samsung they will void your warranty when they know it's rooted, but it's not clear in Xiaomi's case. I heard a rumor, though, that rooting doesn't void your warranty on Xiaomi, but if you want to keep to the safe side, do this.
Go to the nearest Xiaomi Service Center in your country, don't forget to bring your warranty card or at least a receipt of your Mi 4i purchase. Take your time waiting for your turn, and then when you're called, go to them and say that your phone won't turn on. If they ever ask you of what happened, just say that you want to update your MIUI version (don't mention that it is rooted), it is successful, but when you want to reboot it, it just shuts down and won't budge.
If you ever asked whether your phone is rooted or not, just say that you don't know anything about root.

the fact is, i have no xiaomi service cnter n my county..

Since you don't have service center. You'll have to unbrick it yourself. First thing you have to find is the download points for the mi4i. I would suggest posting this thread on MIUI forums.

i was flashing a fastboot rom with miflash... before the flashing ends somehow the device got disconnected, from that moment no fastboot mode...

Since the installation was interrupted. The partition of eMMc is probably messed up.
So the only solution you have to get the phone to download mode. Don't hit and try test points. Curiousity kills
Even if you get it to download mode. You must have a partition image. Which can be obtained from someone's working mi4i. It would be a huge image. Somewhat around 16gb so it's not possible to upload such a large file
You can try to get some info from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040

Hi! I have exactly the same problem. I was trying to find the test points in order to put the phone in fastboot mode. Are you sure this method doesn't work with the Mi4i?

Recovering data from a Password-Protected SCH-S968C with 10 attempt wipe enabled

Hello everyone! I was given a Samsung Galaxy S3(SCH-S968C) from TracFone that belonged to a now-deceased family member. I am trying to recover any pictures or videos on the phone but the phone is password-protected. I've tried different passwords that he had on his accounts but none are going through. I'm now on 8/10 failed attempts before the phone is wiped.
The phone hasn't been used in about six months as the family member moved to a different phone but I'm not certain they moved anything from the old phone.
It won't be a tragedy if we cannot recover but I was to get anything I can from the device.
Thank you for any advice!

I have the same problem. I downloaded 3rd party software but this model was not supported. I have downloaded adb and odin but I don't know how to use them and debugging is not enabled on this device. From what I have managed to piece together, I may have to flash a recovery, then get in to adb and enable debugging or possibly delete the passkey file. Can anyone help a moron like myself save this phone? It is very important to my family. Thanks for any help.
