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
Hi,
I apparently bricked my phone after flashed the rom viper 1.2.1. The phone don't boot: when I try to boot to the bootloader or I press volumes + power, leds twinkle about 15 times, then I get the HTC logo and then black screen.
I tried this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990043 but I'm stopped at the first step: the phone is not recognized in QDL mode but HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.). Could you please help me
PS : sorry for my bad english
You should be able to run adb reboot bootloader during the htc loading screen.
Edit: Oh, and its not a hardbrick, far from it.
Okay, could you say me how to run adb reboot bootloader please.
I have news too : it seems that the battery has discharged this night, so I connect to the PC, the orange LED blinks about 5 times and then the phone turns on the recovery (CMW)
i got a notification on my htc desire 816 for an update so i did it and the mobile then got stuck in blank black screen...
i pressed volume up and power buttons ... the mobile rebooted and now got stuck in the htc white screen...
refused to go to recovery mode ... and wont get recognized so i can flash it ...
i was able to go to recovery mode after draining the battery right after connecting the charger... i pressed recovery but nothing happened ... went back to the black then white freezing
is there anything i missed???
my mobile is not rooted
