Yeah, unlocked how? Sim card unlock? Try to be more specific with your posts and preferably provide steps to do what you did so that it makes the post more usuable for other members reading it.

So I just tried this to humor it and see if it works.
I turned off the phone, press and held the back button while I plugged in the USB. Green light shows up.
I assumed by 'unlock' you meant the center button on the keyboard, phone eventually rebooted but I see no change. I don't have another company's sim card to try, but guess I'll find one and try it.
Not confirmed working as of yet
download this soft,with the account then you can unlock it easily.
1) take battery out
2) put it back in phone
3) leave phone turned off
4) press back button and hold it ,
5) and insert cable
6) phone will go in flash mode
7) software will detect phone and start procedure
Can anyone confirm this works?
I already have a simfree handset so cannot test.

Bah, and this couldn't have been the first post.....I ran around looking for a sim card to verify and it requires software.....silly. Anyhow, I'll try it when I get home.
What username and password??
The tool doesn't work, when I pressed unlock, it returned "bad username/password"

My guess is unlocking.com since they posted in another thread that they were going to be doing this for people. I've not confirmed either way though
guys no one had gotten this to work. Check out this forum.

but you should buy pass for the soft
then unlock
How much for the activation? Or for account?

Please check the post date , it was upated yesterday with the pics.
Can provide videos of the unlock too.
40 usd each.
I tried to flash a custom ROM on my Nexus but since then the phone will not start up.
If I try to boot normally, the screen flashes for a second, I get a quick buzz of haptic feedback, then the "Home" and "Search" buttons light up, then the "Back" button, and then the "Settings" button lights up and stays lit. Sounds weird but this is true.
If I try to boot into the bootloader, the "Search" and "Home" buttons light up and stay on, but nothing appears on the screen.
Annoyingly, fastboot picks up the serial number of the phone, but it can do nothing else. oem unlock is unresponsive, the three dots come up and the cursor flashes, though it at least gets past the "waiting for device" stage. If I try issue oem lock, it reports that the phone is already locked so Johnny 5 is somewhat alive.
adb doesn't recognise the phone at all, I tried on mac, WinXP, W7, and linux for good measure.
Superboot also reports that the phone is locked so no luck there.
I hope I'm not covering old ground here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What custom ROM did you flash? What is your phone model?
Of course ADB wouldn't recognize your phone. ADB requires the phone to be on.
The only thing that would detect would be "fastboot devices" in bootloader mode.
Are you able to get into recovery mode?
And your phone is not bricked. Stop using that term. There hasn't been a report of a brick for the Nexus S unless the user has flashed a ROM that isn't for their phone via Odin or whatever.
I don't know... if he doesn'tget that Google and lock or unlock screen he might be a first one.
Did you try the volume up and then hold power to boot? It should go into fastboot menu. If that doesn't than you are first to brick it. Must have been faulty from the beginning though.

I believe I can use that term if the phone does not boot into recovery, which, to answer your question, and to re-iterate what I already said, it doesn't.
I don't have the other details you asked but I will post again later with them.

Absolutely, I am getting the feeling it's a faulty handset too. No, it doesn't boot into fastboot, or normally either, the screen is completely blank.
No-one has seen this behaviour where the buttons along the bottom of the screen light up when you try to boot the phone? I concede that this is a very rare thing to happen to a Nexus S, but it seems strange that nobody has seen or heard of it before?
I'm sorry I didn't fully understand. It doesn't boot into fastboot but it picks up the serial number? Have you tried flashing a recovery through fastboot?

I think he means that if you do "fastboot devices" it comes up with a number. That means there is some hope.
Did you try flashing with Samsung's exe? You have to know which model you got.

Fastboot reports the serial number okay, but when I turn the phone on holding the volume button up, nothing happens.
Actually, I had a moment of inspiration when using the fastboot oem unlock command- I realised that when the cursor was flashing it was waiting for me to confirm that I wanted to unlock on the phone itself. So, I pushed up on the volume rocker and confirmed by pushing the power button, and fastboot reported that I had successfully unlocked the phone. "Great!" I thought, but whatever I try to flash onto the phone I get the same behaviour, the lights at the bottom of the screen flash but nothing happens on the screen.
So it seems I have a faulty screen, or I did something to screw with the electronics. There are a couple of sugestions here to try but I don't hold out much luck.
Thanks for you help anyway

No problem, from other posters it seems I'm not too good at explaining myself. I think the phone is actually booting into recovery but the screen is dead so it looks like nothing is happening.
Yeah, I finally managed to unlock the handset (see my previous post), and I can flash the recovery no problem (or at leasts it reports no problem), but nothing comes up on the screen. As I said in my last post I think the screen must be borked.
Thanks for posting anyway, it's much appreciated.

Samsung's exe? Sorry, I did a quick google on this but I'm not sure exactly what you mean? As I've said in my last 2 replies, I think the screen is the problem but it's worth a try.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far, and sorry to pipe on about this, but has nayone seen this behaviour where the screen flashes for a millisecond when the phone is turned on but then stays dead, and instead the function keys at the bottom light up and turn off in a particular sequence? As I've said in my last couple of posts I think my phone is toast but maybe there is a clue somewhere in that description?
Samsung has an exe for windows to restore your system where it was original. Find the one for your phone and flash it. The file is different depending on who you carrier is and what model number do all the research them run the exe
Edit exe is called swupdater on sprint

Hello,
I have a problem with my OPT. The "Volume UP" button stuck in pressed position.
Because of the battery the phone went off but after charging it want start again.
I guess because of the pressed Volume UP + Power nothing happens.
After more than one week of fighting with the support (the issue was always escalated to the next level, remote session, bla bla bla.. but nothing happened) the problem finally was redirected to the "RRR" repair and return... and now I thing that at some point I will have a chance to send this brick back.
However, Is there a way to get my data out of it before I send the phone back?
If it would be out of warranty I would just unscrew the plastic battery cover and push the button back...
Best
dim
No Ideas?
I don't need a step by step how to.
just, is it possible? and if so, give me some buzz words (toolkits, what to check and so on)
For example If I plug it in my PC I see in the device manager QHSUSB_BULK as unknown device (good sign) but for now it refuses to install the driver from https://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
There is a sign of live.
when I let the phone rest for several hours and then press power, there is a short vibrating response and I the screen shows for less than a second the fastboot logo. Then the screen gets dark.
To repeat this I need to wait several hours.
any help appreciated
I think this is a hardware issue, send it to repair

Thanks for the answer,
and yes, it is a hardware problem. The question was more like: is there a way to start or backup/reset the phone from this state.
Like I said, the phone is recognised by the mac and PC (showing up as QHSUSB_BULK)
Theoretically with pressed Vol UP button it should start in to fastboot mode.
I managed to install the driver on the PC but the phone is not recognised by fastboot
same on mac.
So if some one has an Idea how to get to the data in this phone please help

I don't think you can back up from that stage. As it is a button related issue, I don't think OnePlus will erase any data on the device. Contact OnePlus and ask them if they can make a back up. Submit a ticket on the OnePlus support page.

Oh damn. Anyway, new OPT
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly." (Red)
I was on a phone call when my phone crashed and then displayed the following message:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."
There was a URL which directed me to the following site for further information:
https://support.google.com/nexus/an...6399943843044-1589582643&p=verified_boot&rd=1
Has anyone else experienced this?
I also got that message when I first got device. Set up my Google account and then let it sit and charge. Looked 30 mins later that message appeared. It was also followed up by another screen talking about unsecure boot or something and powered it self off. It said can not boot when I tried to restart phone and I tried again and no response from the phone at all.waited 5 mins and it booted fine and never seen the messages again .
that screen appears when the bootloader is unlocked. did you guys unlock your bootloader? or, did you purchase from T-Mo/someone else?

if your phone screen in bootloader mode does not look like the one in my post, you purchased the phone direct from T-Mobile/Other Retailer and you didn't unlock the bootloader, i'd ask for a replacement. if your phone screen in bootloader mode looks like the one in my post, the bootloader has been unlocked somehow/by someone...

that's not bootloader/fastboot mode.... that's the Factory Reset/Recovery mode. i enter bootloader/fastboot mode using ADB commands (from windows command prompt) while the phone is connected to my laptop. steps to enter fastboot mode:
1. power off device - make sure your phone is not connected to laptop via USB cable
2. hold the Volume Down Key for a few seconds
3. while holiding Volume Down Key connect the Micro USB cable to your device.
4. release Volume Down key as soon as phone goes into Fastboot Mode (screen similar to my post above)
What does your screen say in fastboot mode? to get out of fastboot mode, unplug the USB cable from laptop, hold volume down + power key until blank screen, release all buttons and phone will proceed with boot process.

i'd request a replacement since your phone is unlocked (based on picture) and you're getting the "...corrupt.." message. maybe go to a corp store show them the problem and request to keep the phone until a replacement is received. good luck.

It doesn't seem to effect the function of the phone. So perhaps it is just a bug. Doing a little bit of light research, some other people have had issues with this popping up even with stock on Nexus.
I have until the 17th to exchange/return.

true, but i'd at least make T-Mo aware of the issue. personally, i'd ask for a replacement.
BTW, did anyone get a second screen saying contact customer support (some kind of language like that)? It is very similar to the red error screen, but it read like the device was basically bricked. It disappeared after a while and the phone turned off while I was trying to get a picture.

I did, that is how I got the return date. They notated my account massively and it looks like it'll be a root canal to a exchange.
I'm not sure that it's anything more than a bug... it hasn't stopped the phone from working and possibly may be an oversensitive security measure on Android's part. So far it seems only related to Nexus(?) that I could find... I am only posting here so others can inform themselves. Maybe others with similar errors who have owned a Nexus could enlighten us.
Either case, doing a factory reset in a little bit. I also received the latest update and applied it. So maybe that'll help too...

Yes I have had this happen 2 different times and 4 days apart on my AT&T LG G6, U.S. Variant. NO I don't unlock my devices ever. And I only install well known apps from the Play store. One possible pattern I noticed was that both times it happened relatively soon after turning OFF the always on display. Then when I rebooted the AOD was turned back on by itself. No other settings appear to be changed and my Nova launcher is running normal.
Did you happen to turn off your AOD as well?
Okay. I am making this thread so if anyone in the future has a broken power button and needs to turn on their Android phone using a MAC they have somewhere to find the answer. I believe there are other articles about this topic, but they require you to download the entire Android SDK, and some of them are a bit outdated and it makes it confusing/unclear to figure out what needs to be done. Hopefully this will be simple and clear.
First you should download this fastboot + adb file found in this thread at the bottom of the article. It's called android.zip at the bottom left under 'attached files' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
Next you should move that file onto your desktop from downloads.
Now you need to plug your android device to charge and then hold the volume up and down button at the same time for ~15-20 seconds. A menu you should appear featuring different options to choose from like start, recovery, etc.. You can't use any of these because your power button doesn't work. Anyways if you connected your phone to a power brick to charge and turn on as I just explained, you'll need to connect it to your computer. Kind of obvious, but nevertheless going to state it.
So now you have to use fastboot. In order to use fastboot you need to open up your terminal which you can find by pressing the command key + space and typing in terminal. The first result which looks like a black box with >_ is the terminal.
Open the terminal and type:
cd /users/[username]/desktop/android
[username] being the name you chose for the specific account on the Mac you are using. It should be the name or word shown in the terminal right before where the $ symbol is shown.
Now type:
./fastboot devices
You should see your devices serial number show up.
Now to simply power up your device type:
./fastboot reboot
And almost immediately your device should turn on.
Hope this helped as I found the other guides a bit too complicated for something as simple as this.
Good to know that the device goes into bootloader simply by plugging in power cable and with Vol- + Vol+ key combination. Useful post !
