[SOLVED] Really "bricked" Nexus S after bad update

So official ics update! i was happy! I restored a 2.3.6 backup with cwm and applyed the official zip. But on reboot.. nothing, zero splashscreens, not even google logo. Now if i press power button the screen turn on but it keeps blank and there are no vibrations.. if i release power button then the screen turns off..
Is my nexus s (i9023) in a known state?
Plz help me!
Edit: after some plug/unplug/push/detach ecc i got this nexus s connected to my pc: windows 7 says: "samsung sec s5pc110 test b/d"
i'm googling..
SOLVED!
Big huge thanks to Adam!
Follow his tips here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20382688&postcount=16
I had to use a standard linux box, ubuntu virtualizend on vmware fusion didn't work.
With Adam tool you can get both download and recovery mode depending on what hardkey you press (both vol or only vol up) during resurrection.
You are in download mode if search and home softkeys are on
You are in recovery mode if back and menu softkeys are on
You can try the way of recovery mode (with fastboot), for me (i9023) fastboot did not recognize the device.
Download mode solution
After resurrection you'll get a nice download mode (search and home button on and others off, not viceversa).
Now run a virtualized windows (or restart your pc if you have dualboot) and use odin to restore your device (bootloader radio system) to a stock rom like 2.3.3.
Why a virutalized windows or dual boot? Cause if you unplug the device you lose download mode.
Quick how to for odin:
You need samsung drivers installed
Files for european i9023 nexus s: http://www.multiupload.com/A6OP3TFN0I
Googling it seems that they are good also for i9020 amoled nexus s (i'm not responsable about that!)
I used odin v 1.83 (only this version worked for me) on windows. Order of files in odin:
- Bootloader > Bootloader_I9023XXKA3.tar.md5
- PDA > PDA_SOJU_GRI54_TMO_EUR_MR1_SIGNED.tar.md5
- PHONE > MODEM_I9023XXKB3_REV_00_CL912571_SIGNED.tar.md5
- CSC > DGS_I9023_EUR.tar
This doesn't solve all problems: at this step i can turn my device on only using a usb powered cable. You need to apply cwm and restore your backup.
So:
Enter recovery mode: plug usb cable (battery appears now!) push vol up and power on.
Apply cwm as usual:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork.img

Click to collapse
and enter recovery mode using device interface.
Restore your backup and reboot. Wait for a long boot (need caching all your apps) and it's done!

Hey, same thing with me.
When I plug it into the computer, it comes up as SEC S5PC110 Test B/D.
fastboot can't see it, so i can't fastboot it into bootloader. Any help?

I would like a nexus to work with. If someone wants to send me a device, I can locate UnBrickable mod and update my resurrector

The upgrade is only for T-Mobile Nexus S (I-9020T), nither I-9020A nor I-9023!

can you upgrade if you're running 2.3.6 I9020XXKF1
it is a tmo version

Same here. Installed from 2.3.6 and now it won't turn on.

Someone send me a device. Send me a pm. I have a recovery option and I can make your device UnBrickable.

I already did.. I sent the link.
However, I just finished rewriting the UnBrickable Resurrector for this device.
YOU MUST BE RUNNING A DEBIAN BASED LINUX.
Instructions:
Verify you are running the latest version of Java http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Download UnBrickable Resurrector Revision 37
Right click the app and run with Java
Select "S5PC110 (Nexus S)" From the drop-down list in the app.
Plug in your device
Click resurrect.
Use fastboot to reload software
Let me know if it works
This worked on my Captivate which was in the same mode.

[Help Wanted] [Bricked] Accidentally Flashed Factory Image for Pixel 4a (5G)

I mistakenly downloaded and attempted to flash the latest factory image for a Pixel 4 (5G) to my Pixel 4a.
My phone is now stuck on a black screen and I'm unable to boot into the bootloader so that I can flash the correct factory image.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of holding power + volume keys, but nothing seems to work.
The device does some to be on in some fashion as when I plug it into my computer windows alerts me that it's setting up a USB device.

Running adb devices and fastboot devices yields no results.
As such the flash-all script included with the factory image doesn't do anything.
I also tried using the "Android Flash Tool" https://flash.android.com/welcome provided by Google, but this also doesn't detect my device.
Are there any other steps I can take to unbrick my phone or is an RMA the only option.
Thanks

I think you're SOL. I did the same thing with my phone and had to send it back to google for a refurb.

Haha I did the same, don't worry .
I got out of this mess using Android flash tool,
When u plug in the phone hold the volume down button down .....
It might take a while, but it WILL detect the device.
When u pick the rom to flash , in the option to edit make sure to click on wipe , and force partitions.
Good luck

adb and fastboot drivers you must install . Unpack adb and fastboot files to installer , and after unpack tools you can run flashing . Other way don't exist.

Are you supposed to have the phone on or off when you plug in the phone with Vol down button down?
But my phone has black screen... how do I tell if the phone is on or off.

How To Guide Install Stock ROM - Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 [TB-J716F]

How to install Stock ROM - Xiaoxin Pad Pro 2021 [TB-J716F]​
I tried installing a GSI-ROM on this tablet, which basically worked except for three/four bugs I coulnd't solve.
So I tried to restore the Stock ROM in the meantime and will share my experience.
Your data will be deleted, try it at your own risk.
Requirements:
Download Stock-ROM and unpack it
Download and install QFIL-Tool + Driver
PC with ADB-Tool
Installation:
Boot tablet in EDL-Mode, there are two ways (in EDL-Mode screen always remains off):
If tablet is fully booted: use adb command "adb reboot edl"
If tablet is off or can't be booted: press the volume up button and hold, plug the usb cable into the tablet and PC and wait a few seconds
Now this should appear in your device manager:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Start the QFIL-Programm, it should detect the port with the same name.
Go to "Configuration" -> "FireHose Configuration". At device type select "ufs" and tick "Reset After Download" then press ok:
Back in the main window select "Programmer Path" and browse to the ROM-Folder, select the file "prog_firehose_ddr.elf".
Select "Content XML" and browse to the ROM-Folder, select the file "contents.xml"
Click "Download Content" and wait, may take a few minutes
After its done, this status message should a appear and the tablet should reboot.
Done, Stock-ROM should boot now.

Thanks. And relock bootloader and Widevine L1?

Widevine is L3, probably because the bootloader is unlocked.
I haven't tried relocking the bootloader but according to the chinese ZUI website it's not possible to relock.
But you can try it and share you experience, try it with "fastboot oem lock" or "fastboot flashing lock".

HI, How could i use adb since my tab doesnt boot up? It is stucked at bootloop since I receive it from the store

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Did you already try to Wipe data/factory reset?

It is unlocked but it doesnt even star at all.. only bootloop, i can't put it on bootloader mode or fastboot.. nothing

I can only think of one thing you can try to enter edl mode, which I recently read in an chinese forum.
1. turn off tablet
2 open qfil software
3. hold volume up button
4. plug in usb cable and connect tablet with your pc while holding the button pressed
5. let lose of volume up button
6. wait for about 2 sec., tablet should be in edl mode. qfil software should detect the tablet.

Now I am only able to get the computer to recognize the device as this:

@Cris74m Does the non-animated or animated lenovo logo show up?
You can try to go to recovery and do an factory reset/wipe data.
Your device is TB-J716F not TB-J706F?

As the usual boot. It shows the Lenovo logo with the "powered by android" thing, than it shows the animated logo and after a while it gets stuck and than turn off the screen.
Already tried factory reset but nothing changed.

Somehow I was able to get the laptop to recognize the device and doing a new install using the firhose_lite version; now the device booted correctly, unfortunately it has no google services

@Cris74m How did you manage to get it to recognize it? Change driver?
Just download Google Play Store and install it manually.
BTW did buy your tablet with global ROM and wanted to go back to chinese?

Question Recovery mode OneUI 5

Hi. I try to boot the device to recovery mode but unable to enter recovery mode I'm sure I did the right way as per YouTube a description but still unable. did Samsung change the way to enter recovery mode?

It would be better if you mentioned what exactly you did rather than say you did it correctly. I hope you might knowing, now a days you needs to keep device connected to PC while reboot to recovery.

Power off device , then connect USB C cable to device. I connect my SanDisk SSD to the other end off the cable. It should work also with USB C stick.
Push volume up and power button and hold them till your device boots in recovery mode.
If you connect your device to a laptop ,it may start charging, making it more difficult to enter recovery mode.

In this case, don't power off but connect device to PC and reboot device (force reboot (keep holdingvol down +power) if you are in bootloop ) as soon screen goes blank, hold power + vol up and you will be in twrp

Go into Magisk.

Still the same, simple operation on my SM-S980U1(Android12): turn off the phone, hold both vol+ and power until you see displayed 'Samsung' - let the power button go and after a few seconds(keep pressing vol+) you should see the recovery mode screen right away.

The problem was from the USB cable after changing the cable the device can boot normally to Recovery

I have a factory unlocked S 22 Ultra, model SM-908U1.
Did it yesterday with only using the volume UP button and the power button, in order to clear system cache. Did it again just now. Worked fine, just as it did on Note 10+ and on Note 8, etc.
Turn off phone.
Hold down volume UP button, then hold down power button at the same time.
When "Galaxy" appears (after Samsung), let go of power, but keep holding down volume UP.
After a few more seconds, recovery menu appears.
Phone is stock, purchased a this week. On October 1, 2022 Security patch.

May be it's only on "U" version

Enabling the OEM Unlocking toggle does NOT unlock the bootloader. It simply functions as a "safety" that allows you to, but you still have to unlock the bootloader through download mode.
If you reboot to download mode, do you see "OEM LOCK: ON"? This means the bootloader is still locked.

Yep. See OEM LOCK: ON? That means your bootloader is locked.
If you're ready to unlock your bootloader, follow these instructions. This will wipe your device.
Power device off completely and disconnect any cables
Have a USB cable plugged into your computer, do not plug it into your phone yet
Hold both Volume + and - buttons, do NOT press Power, and plug in the USB cable.
Device should start with this screen:
Let go of the Volume buttons, then hold Volume Up to select Device Unlock Mode.
The next screen will prompt you to confirm you want to unlock the bootloader. Press Volume Up to select Yes. Your device will restart and wipe all user data.
You aren't quite done yet. Allow the device to boot into the Android setup wizard. Skip through the wizard but make sure you connect to WiFi.
Once setup is complete, open Settings and enable Developer Options. Check to see if the OEM Unlocking toggle is visible.
If the toggle is visible and grayed out, you are clear to install custom firmware.
If the toggle is NOT visible, VaultKeeper is not yet disabled. Manually check for a firmware update in System settings, then check again to see if the OEM Unlocking toggle is visible.
Once OEM Unlocking is visible again, you may reboot to download mode and flash custom images. This will trip the Warranty Void counter, THIS IS PERMANENT.

Yep. See OEM LOCK: ON? That means your bootloader is locked.
If you're ready to unlock your bootloader, follow these instructions. This will wipe your device.
Power device off completely and disconnect any cables
Have a USB cable plugged into your computer, do not plug it into your phone yet
Hold both Volume + and - buttons, do NOT press Power, and plug in the USB cable.
Device should start with this screen:
View attachment 5932117
Let go of the Volume buttons, then hold Volume Up to select Device Unlock Mode.
The next screen will prompt you to confirm you want to unlock the bootloader. Press Volume Up to select Yes. Your device will restart and wipe all user data.
You aren't quite done yet. Allow the device to boot into the Android setup wizard. Skip through the wizard but make sure you connect to WiFi.
Once setup is complete, open Settings and enable Developer Options. Check to see if the OEM Unlocking toggle is visible.

Unfortunately no. Ask for help in the TWRP thread.
