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...

Help - Bricked (accidentally locked bootloader with TWRP installed)

It was late and I was cleaning up my old OP5T, getting it ready to sell. I thought I had plugged in my OP5T, but I still had my OP6 plugged in when I ran "fastboot oem lock". Now it won't boot and I can't unlock it (I'm assuming because I can't get into the OS and "enable OEM unlocking" anymore).
Is there anything I can do?
try using search next time because its already been talked abput here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/help/relock-bootloader-t3798135
Actually, I DID read that. I didn't just roll off the cabbage truck. If you have time to post snippy replies (I also searched YOUR post history), then maybe you can point out where in that thread the answer to my question is. I could see if there was a thread where this specifically happened, or if it had been talked about over and over, but I couldn't find one. You do know this is a fairly new device, right? TBH, you're just being rude. To count on someone to hit the right search terms for a single thread where the info exists is just asinine.
1) I have not seen anyone with this situation on the OP6 yet
2) The OP5T had an unbrick tool
3) Most phones have a way to restore the OS to factory
If it can't be restored without calling OnePlus, then why not just say so? I'll answer for you, it's because you actually enjoy replying in such a manner. Grow up.
Have you tried the mega unbrick guide?

I don't think relocking your bootloader will disable the "enable OEM unlock" toggle in the OS. You may just be able to unlock your bootloader as normal again. You should be able to use the fastboot recovery method to restore your OS.

I did, but I got the "software image does not exist" error. Does it matter whether I downloaded the 5.13 or 5.15 vesion?

I tried several times. It throws the following error, which when searched for, always seemed to be someone forgetting to enable OEM unlocking in settings:
Code:
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
Success! I was able to get it to work with the drivers from this post. No other drivers worked. I also forced the COM port to the first available (in my case, COM1) vs the one it popped up on. Until I did that, I would just get a huge list of ports that had no device attached. Once I had it on COM1, it was the only device that showed up in the list. The first time after that, I got a "Sahara Communication Failed" error, but it went away after rebooting the phone back into EDL mode again.
Thanks for the help!

Did you try msm download tool ?
My OnePlus was bricked and it's bootloader is locked too, I have tried most of the steps like msm and those Bat files etc. But error is coming
"Remote : Flashing is not allowed in locked state"
Even tried that all in one tool that also can't unlock my bootloader
Now plz someone show me steps it will be a great help

failed root fastboot only help please

I bought a t mobile one plus 7 pro - version gm31cb-on 9.5.10 before I read about the hassle it can be compared to an unbranded phone. The bootloader is unlocked.
I tried the msm tool to go to international version but it got stuck on parameter preload so I decided to try to root and get rid of the tmobile flash screen later.
long story shortened, the phone is stuck on the warning screen.
Pressing buttons, I can get it into fastboot but adb doesnt see the phone to flash/push anything.
If I try to boot into recovery, it sticks at the warning screen.
can I somehow get adb to see the phone in fastboot mode?
do you know if i need a certain os/file so i can get past the parameter preload with msm?
i followed the steps in the msm tutorial.
if msm sees the phone and it gets to parameter preload does it mean it is not a driver issue but maybe the wrong software?
Any advice is appreciated.
thank you for your time and expertise

thank you

You just need to update Qualcomm drivers.

doing so now...
thank you for the help.
I somehow got it up and rooted.
will msm work while rooted or mess up root?
I have a gm1915 wich is not listed in the link for the drivers? any thoughts?
These should work. As for MSM tools use the international version.
If you can't shut off device, hold power + Vup for about 10 seconds without being connected to a power source. If your fast enough, keep device plugged, and just press Vdown, to boot recovery.

not sure where you are at right now, but i installed a wrong os version (android 10 on my phone with pie on it). It would only boot into fasdtboot screen no matter what I did or tried. Could not get adb to recognize it, had no twrp or rom installed correctly. No way to fix it, could not use MSM tool as phone had to be able to be shutoff, which mine couldn't. never recognized it due to that. tried drivers to no avail. not really many answers out there, til I found out about fastboot roms.
check out this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
* IMPORTANT: in above link, remember to only download the OS version that fits your phone previously. DO NOT try to update your phone to a different version using that method. Also this method will NOT work on a branded phone, so if your phone is originally a T-Mobile phone then unfortunately this is not a solution for ya.

I hope this helps. The Fastboot Rom solution worked for me, it saved me from throwing my phone in the trash. I ran the bat file and it did the rest.

MSM Tool "Sahara communication failed"

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've been trying for hours to restore my OnePlus 8T with the global MSM tool and I keep getting the Sahara communication failed error over and over again. My drivers are successfully installed and I've tried 5 different USB ports and 3 different types of cables and nothing works. I've tried rebooting my PC multiple times, and 2 out of the 3 cables I've used are official OnePlus cables.

MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.

EDL is a Emergency Download Mode thats cant Destroy by Software!!

Question EDL mode

Hi, I'm having a brick issue with my moto g100, OEM is locked so I can't flash/boot anything. My only hope of getting it back is booting into EDL and blankflashing the device... problem is, I can't find a way to do so. Does anybody here know how to enter EDL mode with this phone? I've tried several button combinations, EDL cable, but nothing works. The only thing I've left to try is shortening the mobo pins, but I don't know which ones, let alone if the board even has them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a super easy solution. Go to the Google app store. And download the premium bugjaeger app on a different Android device so basically you're using another Android device to run fastboot commands just remember with Android 11 make sure you give both devices debugging access

If you can access fastboot.. try "fastboot reboot emergency"
I know this is prob too late for a suggestion, however have you tried chimera tool to bypass the edl lock? You don't have to pay for that part of the tool
