I've had my Nexus S for a year now and it's been pretty problem free... When it had Gingerbread it had the odd reboot glitch but since ICS it's been solid. I have the bootloader unlocked and had root. I had tried out a couple of custom ROMs and had gone back to stock ICS in anticipation of JB rolling out in July. I got the OTA push of JB in mid July and after a factory refresh have had no problems with the phone until yesterday.
I was typing a text message and my phone rebooted in my hand. It never did complete booting and left me at a prompt that stated "Type password to decrypt storage" and nothing would make this phone boot! Also, since the JB update I no longer had root and Clockwork Recovery no longer worked because I didn't have root... which I wasn't worried about up until now. I had to tether the phone to my laptop reset Recovery using the SDK tools and then wipe everything and reset the phone and reinstall all my apps. Funny thing is I've not been able to find much about this from any of the forums I read frequently... seems there aren't many who have experienced this.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into it...
