Hi @ all,


after failed attempt to restore a backup ("can't not mount system"), my Nexus S won't start anymore...

Biggest problem: The power button is broken! :/ that means I cannot get in recovery, or even in download or bootloader mode!

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this, or at least get the data from the internal USB storage?

Really grateful for any help ...

Install quick boot from playstore, your phone must be rooted.

The Phone is rooted, but won't start anymore... It remains on the google sign at startup :/

No problem. Boot into recovery by pressing volume and power button. Install your ROM.zip from recovery menu

Thank You for answering... Like I said, the power button is broken and so I'm able to press "volume and power button"
Any other options?

Can you access adb? If so just type "adb reboot recovery" or something like that

adb recognize the nexus (listed after "adb devices"), but as 'offline'...

Is there a chance to get the device 'online' by adb?

Have you tried to connect it and then tried to reboot. If theres any usable connection the PC should do something during boot..
