so yesterday i returned my moto xoom because it was overheating b4 i even rooted it. i got a nexus s and now it is bricked. 2dasy im going to have 2 return it. can any1 help me figureout a good excuse to tell the future shop return people? looks pritty bad i return 2 devices in less then 24 hours

edit: the last thing i did was flash gri74 back to stock. im guessin the bootloader is my issue. soo my phone technically isnt hacked or unlocked. just bricked so they cant see my device was rooted.

sounds like you overcooked the SNS setting it too high?

did you install any custom ROM ?

have you tried flashing it back to stock?

does the phone turns on at all?

make sure the battery is fully charged

thx thats exactly what i did. grabbed a htc desire hd instead since nexus s is for the advanced user. i consider myself an advanced user but i had major issues wth the nexus s. even after reflashing gir74 or whatever it was called, i didnt have a working radio. which i tried flashing and resulted in a brick. thx alot 4 the advice. and i hope the nexus users create a noob proof guide 4 this phone as if sum1 with as much expierience with android as me is having issues, i can only imagine whut a complete noob would b thinkin about if he tried rooting. check my htc desire noob proof video guide here:
