have you tried clockworkmod touch recovery? it is in beta but i think it should work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473525
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
thats not my issue, i have no problem with the recovery .. i just want to take my phone to stock, i can flash a stock rom i know how to do that

but how do i lock the bootloader with a broken power button is the issue
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Reboot into bootloader, i know many ROMs allow you to do this directly, probably some root apps too. I have never had the problem so maybe it still won't let you flash if it thinks it's pushed in or something, but worth a shot anyway. Once you're in bootloader, connect to computer and "fastboot oem lock".
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
so the procedure would be

1. load custom rom

2. reboot

3. boot into bootloader

4. fastboot oem lock ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiriazis:
try booting into fastboot , ifyou are absolutely sure you have the correct stock rom do this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077019

no custom rom!! flash the stock rom the one you had when you got the phone

then reboot into bootloader and plug your phone to your pc. then open up adb and type fastboot oem lock but only if you have the stock image
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
ya m not sure which would be the correct rom as i lost the nandroid backup of my stock rom
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiriazis:
open the rom manager app and go to download rom option then choose the stock images option. download the 2.3.3 one also dont forget to tick the wipe data and cache when the popup appears
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
if i flash a stock 2.3.6 over a custom rom after full wipe, will my phone be unrooted on boot up ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiriazis:
it is official so i guess it will be unrooted
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
There is probably even an app that can send you to the bootloader, but i'm not sure what it would be. Otherwise i know for a fact that Slim and Pixel have the extended power menu, so that will work perfectly. Been too long since i've used others to say whether they do or not. That is basically the procedure though, so long as fastboot oem lock works while your power button is stuffed

fastboot oem lock, data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot, flash stock ROM and reboot into 100% googley stockness

Flashing an official ROM will, of course, remove the root (and custom recovery).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
after flashing the stock rom how will i go into bootloader ? all apps need root
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Sorry, meddled up the order there. Fixed now, just lock it first thing.

Also, worst case scenario you can always root again through alternate methods which don't require an unlocked bootloader if at all necessary.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
so when i lock the bootloader with a custom rom and kernel it wont cause any problems ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
No, but your warranty is still void, it has to be 100% stock or they won't accept it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
so i can lock the bootloader and then load a stock rom, that brings it back to 100% stock ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
No no no

You must flash a stock from for you phone(look in dev), boot it once to install stock recovery and ONLY then do you lock bootloader
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
is there something like a rooted stock rom ? if yes from wher can i get it ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
look in the development forum
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Is your power button completely shot? If it is, then trying to lock the bootloader won't work under any circumstances! You have to use fastboot mode (fastboot oem lock command!) to lock your device, & if your power button does absoloutely nothing anymore then fastboot mode won't let you use the volume up/down to navigate, & you won't be able to select with your power button (obviously! :rolleyes:) your device won't be recognised on your pc in fastboot mode to implement any commands, because your device thinks your power button is permantly depressed! (so no commands can be entered!) I know this, because I have just had this same problem! I flashed complete stock rom (didn't matter though coz they don't check that! ;)) then tried to lock bootloader in fastboot mode, but it wouldn't respond or recognise my phone whatsoever! I finally got it temporarily working by constantly fiddling & tapping just next to the power button long enough for me to eventually relock the bootloader :eek: & dya know what the ironic thing is? the whole weekend before I sent phone for repair, the b"%&$£y button was more or less working fine!! :mad: :confused: But it was definately hardware & not software related though, because it happened gradually over a month or so, & when it got really bad I could only power on my nexus s when turned off (so not a software or application problem!) via connection of usb cable or charger :rolleyes: it would go straight into booting up instead of the charging indicator coming on! :D keep fiddling with it to get it temporarily working so you can at least use fastboot to lock the bootloader for repair purposes! & here's the link for the correct stock rom for your phone model to flash (if you so choose to do so!) http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip Just remember to flash it "BEFORE" locking the bootloader!! :D)Good luck!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
He has the I9023 version, so the 2.3.3 stock download in rom manager is incorrect! This one (2.3.4!): http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip is the one he needs to flash, & then he can update through settings/about phone/system updates to android version 2.3.6, once the bootloader is locked! ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Locking the bootloader would still allow someone with root access on the device to flash a new recovery, so it should go back to the stock bootloader anyway (though i've not tried this myself, but am quite sure of it - unlocking bootloader just allows fastboot to my knowledge).

Whether or not it's possible in THIS situation to lock the bootloader is a different story though as CrackDaddy said.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrohanjs:
SO i cant do anything but give the phone as it is and hopefully when they wipe the device and update the software from their end they would not relaize its rooted and bootloader is unlocked
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
If you send it in with a unlocked bootloader they will still know even if they flash a new bootloader, so you might get lucky

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
For a hardware related problem such as a power button, no repair engineer is interested in what rom (stock or mod!) you have on your phone! They may (or not!) be interested however in the fact your bootloader is unlocked, because that would void the warranty! However, in most instances if it's hardware related then having an unlocked bootloader should rarely be a problem in a warranty repair claim!

There's only one specific android bootloader for the nexus s that I'm aware of (stock or mod!) It's the recovery only that you can change in fastboot!! ( fastboot flash recovery recovery img!) Unlocking the bootloader then flashing superuser is what gives you root access (you can access fastboot mode wether it's locked or unlocked!) , superuser gives you the permissions for specific root apps!

If fiddling with the power button does absolutely nothing for you, (as you've quoted tapping near the power button is not helping!) then "YES", you have no other option but to send your device in for repair "AS IT IS" I'm afraid! Try pressing & flicking the power button on the top & bottom edges to see if you can dislodge it if it's stuck in any way! (that's what eventually worked for me!) Good luck, & please post your outcome whatever it is!

He should be fine, as it's hardware related! It would be deemed as bad practice for a company to void a warranty for a broken power button, just because you've unlocked the bootloader to flash a custom rom!! In the worst case scenario he could always say he unlocked the bootloader when the power button first started playing up, so he could flash a different rom, to see if it would rectify the problem!! ;) :
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I don't believe there will be a big issue though. Power button problem, hardware related, they will most likely fix it with no problems even with an unlocked bootloader (even though it -technically- voids your warranty). If possible, i would definitely lock it and throw stock on there, but otherwise you should be fine anyway. I've seen many people on these forums send it in with an unlocked bootloader with similar or worse problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
I think in his case, he has to send his device for repair AS IT IS, (with an unlocked bootloader!) & "technically" yes, an unlocked bootloader would/should void your warranty! But you're absolutely right in as much as he shouldn't have any problems either way, as many people before him haven't !! ;) :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimmir:
You're sure your power button is COMPLETELY fried? This happened to me (on the Nexus S CDMA) but my button would register one in every 10 presses or something, which was enough for me to restore it to stock settings and send it to them...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:

As far as I know on the nexus s there's only one type of bootloader, fastboot is accessible wether the bootloader's locked or not! UNLOCKING the bootloader through fastboot/commands (fastboot oem unlock!) gives you root access (through superuser!) to your device! Basically "NO" fastboot doesn't give you root access, but unlocking the bootloader through fastboot, then flashing superuser does!! :rolleyes: :D

2.but their some imei software updater is not working so it will take few days so i took my phone back and using it, so i guess ill give it on next monday now.

3.and the condition of my power button, zero responsive

4. thanx for sharing your knowledge guys really helpful :)

5. but the main issue remains, bootloader cant be locked with a broken power button :( ..

6. i can find a stock rooted rom, i think i can send my phone with that .. anybody knows wher i can get it .. it would have to be gingerbread rooted stock rom i guess
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Can I ask, why a rooted stock rom?? why not the specific stock rom for yorur device, then when you're phone's fixed just flash whatever rom you want (stock or mod!) At least you don't have to worry about unlocking the bootloader when you get it back eh!! ;) :D Anyways you can grab this ICS 4.0.3 stock rooted rom from here if you want!: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556827

stock rooted 2.3.6 ..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
fastboot oem unlock doesn't give you access through superuser, think of it more like booting up a LiveCD with your NTFS or ext4 hard drive partitions hooked up. You will have full control (analogous to "root" user) over it, because the files are only "secure", permission-wise, within the host OS, in this case android. As the bootloader and recovery are essentially mini-OSes, you have full control of the hardware and drives, you just need software to let you do what you please to them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
So you're saying that by unlocking the bootloader & then flashing superuser you don't gain root access to the host (main) OS?? :rolleyes: By the way, good find rrohanjs, safe flashing ;)

No, flashing su gives you root access. But root access isn't required or used in any way by fastboot.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiekhan:
I was on LP7 Stock, de-odexed but tried AOPK on the 20th and found that Market was updated to 3.5.15 whereas before I was on 3.4.7. The new one has the swipe to view all apps in My Apps section.

Anyway, I restored back to LP7 and now when I browse the Market/Play Store on the PC via the website I cannot send apps to my phone. I cannot see my phone in My Devices section either, instead it shows the last communication as on the 20th from the other ROM.

I have tried a few things:

1: Clearing Market data

2: Installing manually the newer Market app

3: Reinstalling LP7 fresh and syncing to Market

Now number 3 allowed me to see my phone again in the Browser Market's "My Devices" section but I still could not send apps to the phone from the browser Market.

I can browse the Market and install apps just fine from the phone.

If I install the newer Market and go to My Apps from there and swipe to the "All" tab then it gives me an RPC error.

I'm back on Market/Play Store 3.4.7 now and will wait to see if the phone shows up in My Devices...Here's hoping.

Anyone encountered a similar issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiekhan:
I think I fixed it...wiped everything and reinstalled LP7, re-init Market/Play Store and also turned off 2-step authentication on my Google Account just in case that was also causing probs and can now ping apps from web browser to phone via the Market.

I will restore 2-step after I've sorted some other bits out but looking good thus far...
