Depends on the door, but if it workd from the outside, but not the inside, the problem is likely in one of two places. Either the Inside actuator is broken, or the rod connecting the actuator to the latch has been bent or come off. There are small plastic retaining clips that hold the rod in place and these may have broken or popped off. Either way you will have to take the door panel off and see where the problem is.
get a new door handle.
Remove the door panel, find and repair the lock linkgage.
the linkages to either the handles or the lock or both has come off. here's the kicker... you need to open the door to take of the inside door pannel to fix it. try to remove the pannel with the door closed. or a "skilled" vheicle locksmith could open it from the outside...but it's not cheap.
how do I open a door when the handle broke and the part theat connects into the outer wall will not release?

The usual reason that a door will not open from the inside on a Nissan truck is because the door handle is broken on the inside. The door panel will have to be removed and the door handle repaired or replaced to open the door from the inside again.
