Hi all,
I have a Nexus S as some of you will see me around these forums, and love it.
My mother has a Nexus S as well, until she dropped in the bathroom sink whilst washing her hands and since then it hasn't booted.
The strange thing is that the bootloader boots fine, and I have been able to unlock the bootloader and flash clockwork no problem from my PC, no error messages no nothing.
However, I can't boot into recovery, I try to from the bootloader but it just sticks on the Google logo indefinitely.
Is this perhaps something to do with the fact that my mum never had her phone (running stock GB) rooted, and I went and unlocked the bootloader and have no ROM to boot. After the phone dried out it wouldn't boot into gingerbread.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm stumped here, I have no problems with my nexus and have done my research alright.
Yours,
Toyface

I had always thought that the phone was basically, you know, a wreck. But the fact that it'd boot to the bootloader always had me intrigued.
I'm trying heimdall atm, but I'm getting bored with my failures ha ha.
it is more like internal ROM or/and SDcard damaged to me, i think that's why you stuck on google logo because system can't read ROM and SDcard so there is nothing nor files or boot.img it can boot up on ...
Just an idea, try
fastboot flash boot (clockworkmod.img)
then try booting it. Should boot up into recovery when you turn it on without going to the bootloader.

Tried this too, (thanks for the tip) to no avail. I think it's dead as the dodo. When I tried Heimdall with a stock image it failed on 65% each and every time, so it seems pretty likely that there's a bad sector somewhere on there.
Either way, I can still carry on teasing my mother that her iPhone 3G she has to use now is woefully inferior to our Google superphones
Any time you drop anything electrical in the water immediately remove the battery (unless the battery isn't removable) and stick it in a large bowl of rice for a day or two. It will pull all the water from every orifice. trust me, I've recovered 4 different smart phones and 3 ipods this way. If you drop something as such in the water and start trying to turn it on the electrical components practically boil the water inside and fry everything.

Ha ha if only my mother was tech inclined. I put in it rice as soon as I got home, but hours had passed. I revived a friends iPhone 4 from certain death. I had fun trying to bring this one back from the brink.
Now my family don't laugh at my obsessive cleanliness and safety with my gadgets

I dont think it has to do with Software. Something is messed up with the hardware.

I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.
I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.
So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
anyone help please?
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.

ugg, I got this clockwork v 3.0.0.5 and I tried to run an old update.zip figuring maybe i'd brick the phone or get it back to stock and it won't work with that version of clockwork. I don't know what the heck to do, i can't walik in with it like this.

yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.
Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.

how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.

since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
If its truly bricked, no they can't. Them knowing its rooted isn't that big of a deal, they'd either attempt to revert it to an official build anyway, or they'll tell you they can't take it that way, as in bring it back stock.
I've taken in 2 Epics for hardware issues, one was screen, the other keyboard. Both were rooted, one was on stock build and the other on custom rom. They restored stock software to the custom rommed phone before they decided the screen was actually broken lol

While that would be the "smart" thing for a company to do, Sprint's official policy on rooting is that they will revert it to stock if they see that it's rooted during any repairs.

apparently the policy has changed, as after waiting an hour and a half, they came back and said its rejected because it was flashed and i lack common sense apparently when I mentioned that it doesn't say anything about that anywhere.
If u can put the phone in download mode the problems r the drivers on your pc should check that or try different pc.

Try taking it to an indirect dealer service center. Those people really don't care about things like that. I'm one of those people. I realy couldn't care. I just fix it and send it out.
So i was odin-ing back to stock when for some reason Odin stopped. I start freaking out cause what else am i gonna do. My wife hates that i play with my phone.
Back in the early days of vibrant i effed up a voodoo lagfix (was able to fix it), but it cost me $50 buck when i had to send the replacment phone back after fixing mine.
So (like a noob) i unplug my phone and leave it in download mode. Nothings working.
I turn the phone off (again LIKE A NOOB), and it give me this angry picture of a cell connected to a PC...
Lost my Sh*t!!!!
However, was able to get into download mode, retore stock, and avoid a sexless month.
So, who has a good OMGZ-BRICKED-MY-PONE-OH-WAIT-NO-I-DIDNT moment...
I'd be willing to bet 99% of people on this forum have had this go down and freaked out the first time. It's one of those things that's inevitable when messing with this stuff.
i feel ya bro. I once spent 3.5 hours trying to odin before it went thru. I was sick to my stomach. Thought my phone was done!!
I once used a broken USB cable that I broke earlier (but forgot). It made very VERY poor contact with the phone so it disconnected if the phone was touched.
I used that cable with ODIN. Needless to say, it disconnected MANY times and I kept thinking I'm done. Finally I remembered the cable is broken and then I TOOK IT AND HELD IT AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE with the USB contact.
Scarriest hour of my life.
I pulled the USB early, just before Odin says completed, on a bootloader flash. Holy **** what a scary moment. It booted up fine though.

Haha I did this too outdated odin and bootloaders dont mix. I had to flash it at least 5 times to get it to take. Odin wouldnt recognize on the com after every bad flash unless I reboted. The last time I couldnt get back to download so I flashed it in the phone!pc screen with a different odin and it worked like a charm. Stomach was churning like it was trying to make butter lol.

First time I used ODIN my roomate accidentally unplugged my phone (cable was crazy loose)... wound up on the phone---!---PC screen and that was scary as crap. Took a little while, but I figured it out
Basically, unless you're in the realm of bootloaders, this phone is difficult enough to brick (which I'm very thankful for!)

The burning question in my mind is, do you mean the failed upload attempts?
...or the month your kick-banned from hanky panky... because of course you keep trying, and eventually you get there. waka waka waka
Tried to flash my phone while driving, I hit a road bump and next thing, I know ODIN stopped working and my phone had a bunch of garbage display on the screen.
C*0000000*** something like that.
used Jig back to download mode. But the remaining 30 minutes drive back to my desk was horrifying.
Been there, done that
You tried to flash your phone while driving??
I used Clockwork mod to flash back to a Rom I liked better with a nandroid backup and it just got into a bootloop. I kept trying, but the only thing I could get to work was to Odin back to a stable Eclair build I had on hand.
BUT it gave me a red FAIL and just stopped mid-way through. However, when I unplugged and started my phone it came up just fine. PHEW!
Hours of fiddling and my wife was also all like "What the heck are you doing??? Can't you leave well enough alone???"
No. Of course not.
First time I got a soft brick I was scared as **** but then I learned about Odin I was so happy

Dropped my phone this week, and even though I have a flip case it landed open and face down (sods law), resulting in the screen being smashed and completely unresponsive.
Kind of hoping that the insurer can repair it. Not a big deal as 99% of data on the phone is held in the cloud. The big annoyance for me is if I have to get a new phone I have to start all of my games again from the start. I wish Google would fix this where all app data is genuinely backed up to the cloud, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to do this.
Without rooting are there any apps out there that can do this? Think I know the answer already but just thought I would put it out here.

You need it rooted to gain access to the root partition of the phone, where all the app data is stored. I do not think you can backup any app data without root. You could unlock the bootloader and root it, backup the app data you need, then un-root and re-lock the loader if you're that much against rooting it.

Hi,
This is not the phone that is fragile, it's what the user do with it... If you flash a kernel from a Nexus 7 to the Nexus 4... for me it's legitim to have "a little problem"... It's the same thing for all the phones, try to flash a kernel from another phone instead the one make for your phone and see the result...
If you don't read correctly and don't paid attention at what you do or flash... It's not the phone that is the responsible...

You bought a Nexus device. Use it. Root it. Flash it. Play with it. You worry too much. Stop being so paranoid. Again, if you carefully do the correct steps you will get the results you desire. If you miss a step you will be sad that you screwed up your phone. If you're in math class and you miss a step to the formula to the equation you will get it all wrong. Pay attention to all the little details. You will be a pro at rooting in the future if you follow the steps meticulously.

im guessing so. i had the "red light of death" last night. i was using my phone at like 2% battery left, rebooted it and it said i had 5% left. big whoop my battery calibration is a little jacked. well i kept using it and instead of going through the shutting down thing when the battery died, the screen just went blank. again, because the battery calibration is way off. so i plug it in, and the light turns red for about 10 seconds. then the light turns off, and the battery charging icon appeared. i waited 10 mins for it to get a small charge then booted right up. not a single problem. i really dont get why everyone is having such freak accidents and problems with this phone.
So I bricked my one to the point that it cannot mount, adb, side load and is stuck at the boot screen. Talked to Bell, and they said that they would give me a new one when they have more in stock by Friday. After using the one for a week, its getting really hard for me to use another device. Missing the feel, of it in the hands, the sexy build, amazing speaker sound, the gorgeous display, Zoe and blink feed. It feels weird using my nexus 4 now.

Not trying to be a ****, but you getting a new phone because you bricked yours is stealing. The warranty does not cover you flashing unsupported software, so by getting a replacement for a non-defective device, you're stealing from HTC.
Just so you know.

Not stealing from HTC, but from Bell. And bell can suck a big one.
Well, they don't know the state of the phone yet, so they can say no on Friday. I haven't stolen it yet.

Fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you're flashing. Odds are, you didn't brick it. Wipe everything first. Flash the rom. Flash the boot.img via Fastboot.

Can't you just use the RUU and go back to stock?
Completely lazy noob! That's all there is to this story....
It's not bricked it could be fixed in 5 minutes guaranteed.
No ...lets just tell HTC a fib and get a second one to softbrick next week :what:

I can, but even after flashing a ROM, or the stock ROM, it ends up in in a stuck HTC boot screen after rebooting

For the record this Device tends to have a lengthy boot up time on HTC screen ....especially on backups and fresh Rom installs ...a lot of people have been getting this mistaken for bricking ... When it's not it's just time ...I'd almost laugh if he isnt letting it sit long enuff to boot up.

K. I have managed to sideload 3 different roms, fast boot, a db push etc. Still doesn't get past the HTC screen. Mounted my USB through otg and did a nandroid restore of Bell's nandroid backup posted by some one. Bell has not released the ruu yet, other carrier's ruu doesn't work. o yeah, flashed stock ROM too. Left the phone on the HTC boot screen for hours, and it doesn't go past boot screen.
Any other suggestions?
BTW, I own 3 other nexus devices that are all rooted, and have been soft bricked numerous times and were easily brought back to stock. My first HTC device with no carrier ruu.

Right...well, mine is gone since 04/13...and I still didn't receive my new phone.
The phone company will decide whether they want to replace it and I've never had any problems with warranty replacements due to custom software. The phone isn't broke and HTC will simply use the parts or re flash it.
All the hysteria over rooting and custom roms breaking warranty is complete nonsesnse
If you burn out your processor over clicking it that's different of course but he hasn't.
Sheesh give the guy a break.
A phone that soft bricks or boot loops as easily as the one should never of been rootable in the first place.
