[Q] Help no recovery - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was flashing clockwork on to my nexus s using rom manager and when flashing it rom manager force closed itself and only boots to fastboot mode HELP! please

connect it again, use fastboot to install CW recovery
then once you have the CW recovery working, mount the USB drive
download any of the nadroid backup stock ROMS
copy it over to the phone
and use CW recovery to restore the stock nandroid backup
phone fixed

thanks you are awsome

Or he could just use the full ROM. Search is being screwy right now and won't return any results but I'll update with the link. The stock nandroid backup will remove root
Here is the link to where you can find the full ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11380101&postcount=1

Are you on a mac or on a PC?
Difference being that if you're on a mac I can give you exact commands you can copy and paste otherwise I can give you commands you will have to add directories to (I don't know the full commands for a PC)

iam on mac

Wonderful! Okay, so you can follow the instructions here to flash clockwork recovery. I assume you've already unlocked your bootloader so you can skip that step. Just make sure you download the file in 1)B and you'll be completely golden

where is the link is it from your root 2.3.3 on mac therad

[Q]

So I realize I did something stupid and I'm hoping I can fix it. I was in the process of rooting and installing a new ROM on my brothers phone. I made it S-off, and I didn't want clockwork recovery so I just skipped that. I updated the firmware so I can put an ICS ROM on it and now it's stuck in a bootloop I would imagine because there is no recovery on there. Can I fix this somehow? How do I install a Recovery when I don't have a recovery?
Thanks

you can install recovery from bootloader/fastboot and then rom from the recovery
here follow the post #2 from this guide to do that
What about download mode aka odin mode

download mode is not required for HTC phones.. we can flash stuff from bootloader
to go to bootloader
power off phone then remove battery ,reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down button ..will take you to bootloader ..there you can flash the recovery ..and a lot

So I downloaded the pg58img file and put it on the root of my SD card. went into bootloader and it saw the file but for some reason didn't give me the option to install anything. Any idea why or what I did wrong?

No. RUU is a last option.
This is way too simple for that.

Just need to flash a recovery; preferably 4ext. (only step 2 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345)
Then nandroid backup from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Backup | Restore > Backup)
Then put an ICS ROM on SD Card using the Toggle USB Storage" option (main menu of 4ext > Toggle USB Storage)
Then format all partitions except SD Card from recovery (main menu of 4ext > Format | Wipe > Format all partitions (except SD Card) )
Then flash the ICS ROM from the recovery (main menu of 4ext > Install zip > Choose zip from SD Card).
Simple as that.

hangs at HTC white screen and can't be detected

Hello Geeks
I have rooted my htc sensation last night and Flash CWM Recovery HBoot 1.27.0000.
I managed to root and installed superuser. After i installed a new font installer apk, the problem started.
I reboot my htc after installed it and it stuck at HTC (Quitly Briliiant) screen.
and I tried several times removed battery and put it back. it can't solve the problem.
I can access to Hboot, and i see Fastboot, Recovery, Factory reset, SImlock, IMaGe CRC,
i tried to recovery, it hangs, samething to Factory reset, (didn't try simlock) and Image crc work fine.
And another problem is after i unplug the phone from usb or wall charger, the red light is still on.
i have no idea what to do.
HOPE can someone here help me with something?
thanks in advance.
(will post more detail if someone needs it)
Perhaps you would like to try and re-flash the CWM Recovery again? If you can't access recovery, most likely your CWM Recovery is corrupted.

what if the phone can't be detected by pc? i can't connect to pc via usb last ngiht.
can you boot into bootloader?
yes. i can go into bootloader
from bootloader you can flash the recovery
jus connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
get the recovery.img and copy it to your adb/fastboot folder
then open command window there
and type this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that should give you the recovery ....then go to recovery and reflash the rom
let me try and get back to u, sorry for late reply, just back from work

if you are S-ON then follow this thread to install a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
don't forget to superwipe first before install a rom and also enable smartflash if you have 4ext recovery installed
if not then i suggest to install that recovery

i don't think it is a battery issue.maybe a corrupted file(or it is an old link)

i managed to install 4EXT and i installed custom ROM (MIUI-PyroMod-Pyramid-V1.1.zip).

Thanks man. I successfully rooted my phone.
Why do you need to run commands to extract the recovery file etc? Doesn't backing up using CWM do the same thing? Can't you just copy the files from the backup folder to your PC?

and one more thing can you send me the stock recovery file as i forgot to backup that file

Go to clockworkmod/Backup/Backup folder in here you will find an recovery.img file just paste it to desktop and connect your phone to pc and type the following in cmd
cd desktop
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
to boot recovery temporarily type
fastboot boot recovery.img
if you see your stock recovery in your phone then you have backed up your stock recovery and if it's cwm recovery then you have backed up that recovery

It seems no one has created a CWM for your phone.
You can create it on your own.
Check here: How to make CWM recovery
You can get scatter file and boot.img from the stock ROM here: http://13freak.blogspot.in/2014/12/lenovo-yoga-b8000-h-3g-100-firmware.html

Yes, most MTK devices will work for that.
If you're afraid it will brick the phone, you can do this:
Follow the steps from there until recovery image (.img file) is created.
Then boot into Fastboot mode (Google it if u don't knkno
then using ADB, execute this command:
Code:
fastboot boot pathname/recovery_name.img
(Where pathname is the directory where recovery is present with name recovery_name.img)
Better rename it as recovery.img and place in C:\ and use it like this:
fastboot boot C:\recovery.img
If it boots and CWM recovery shows up, then you can flash it
U can also use it directly by this way by booting
