need dev help badly

I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?

Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?

This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all

You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..

I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing

Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.

Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.

when i flashed the bad stock file it when back to stock recovery

the reason I asked in dev I was wondering it there A, another way to get the usb to work? it wont display even in device manager. or B isthere a way to falsh the correct radio as a signed update.zip?

It needs to be in q&a. Nothing about this thread relates to development. Quit posting, let this die, and ask in q&a. You will get help. You need to read. You need to follow the forum rules and general forum etiquette. If you cannot do that, please leave xda, and go to another forum.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development. If people are going to ignore them, then they need to leave.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help

Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could

The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )

[Q] ROM Manager from Android Market on the G2X

Hi all.
I'm interesting in beginning to make some mods to my G2X.
I've seen some people posting that there is a very unique way to successfully get CWM (ROM MANAGER) on the phone.
I came from a Samsung Vibrant. On the Vibrant, I simply Downloaded ROM Manager from the market, and that worked like a charm.
I've downloaded ROM manager from the market on my G2x. There have been 2 or 3 updates to the app since I downloaded it.
With the version of ROM Manager that I have, am I okay to begin flashing zips, or will I mess my phone up?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start by deleting this post. Then search. Then, if still confused, repost in the right section. This is just going to get flamed.

1st, welcome to the G2x.
2nd, this should have been posted in Q&A to keep the Dev Section clean.
3rd, though RM has a version of CWM for the G2x, it is best to flash recovery through NVFlash.
You can get all you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Wrong forum buddy, there is a G2x Q&A where someone will answer your question, this forum is only for development of the G2x, not for questions.

Flame on.
Wrong forum. Should be in questions.
To answer your question... yea that works but you should nvflash Clockworkmod first.
Nvflash will stick and enables power+down to get into recovery while booting.
Simply using rom manager WILL work but doesn't enable power+volume down on boot up. So if you use rom manager and something screws up and you bootloop... it'll be harder to fix.
Lesson: nvflash once... then use rom manager as normal. Best of both worlds.
G2x CM7.1 style - Android 2.3.4

Thanks everyone for your help.
Sorry about posting in the wrong spot... I'll make my way to Q&A.

Id like to be the first to say sorry for some rude people. Nvflash is how we get down in the g2x forums.
Its not hard either
this will get you going if you havent figured out yet.

The 10 Commandments For The SGS4G Forum

This is just a quick list of things I thought would be helpful to Noobs/Newbs. They're not in any particular order. Also, sticky if need be or just leave as is. Sticky would be preferred though so Noobs/Newbs can see it right away. Anyway, here are what I feel should be the 10 Commandments for the SGS4G Forum. You may agree or you may not. Think what you will. If you feel anything should be added, PM me and I'll make the changes myself. Thank you.
#1 - Search The Forum Before Asking Questions.
Unless you like getting flamed by people when you don't search before asking.
#2 - DON'T USE ROM MANAGER ON SGS4G EVER!!!!!!
Unless you really like ODIN that much.
#3 - DON'T TRY TO FLASH ANY ROMS OUTSIDE OF THE SGS4G FORUM
Unless you wanted a nice brick instead of a phone.
#4 - Read the "[Guide] *NOOB's* guide to flashing " Thread In The General Section Before Trying To Flash Anything.
You'll eventually get pointed to that direction anyway if you don't read it. Trust me, we can tell when people don't.
#5 - Read The Instructions For The ROM Before Installing.
Unless you really like reflashing or reverting back to STOCK. HELLO ODIN AGAIN.
#6 - When You Have A Problem With A ROM, Be Descriptive About The Issue.
Believe it or not, the Devs here can't read minds nor can they see over your shoulder to see what your issue is on your phone. They're good, but not that good.
#7 - Be Thankful Towards Our Devs.
If you like a ROM, show your appreciation. If not, then keep your mouth shut and use a different ROM or better yet go back to STOCK. ONCE AGAIN, HELLO ODIN.
#8 - POST IN THE RIGHT SECTION!!!!
Prepare to get flamed if you don't.
#9 - When Flashing From Froyo To GB, Follow FBis251's "[ODIN+CWM] GB Ext4 Starter Pack (Sep 27)" Thread or use the updated Kies Mini to upgrade to official KJ6.
If not, then yet again, HELLO ODIN.
#10 - For The Love Of Our Forum, Don't Ask A Dev For An ETA!!!!!
You'll only get one answer if you do. WHEN IT'S DONE!!!
Going to add one more thing until we actually get it for our phone.
#11 - If You're Coming From Another Device, Don't Come In Here Thinking You Can Get CM7 For The SGS4G.
This goes along with #3 in a way. Its being worked on. Now that we have the kernel source for GB, we are now one step closer. So, until the devs figure everything out with the source to get CM7 working, IT CAN NOT BE INSTALLED!!!
Now if you're wondering, "What is ODIN?" well, there's a guide for that...
[GUIDE] Noobs guide to Odin to flash your SGS4G (Windows)
Like I said, feel free to PM me if you feel something should be added.

Not bad.. I'd also add the noob's guide to ODIN, and put up a link to the Bible thread to find every ROM, guide, Kernel, modem, etc that's been put up in the dev section.

Nice Work Thanks
Deserves a Sticky

Nice list, glad to see it stickied.....hopefully it will cut down on the repetitive questions that have been plaguing the threads lately.

Good thing no noobs are gonna read this. The newbs might since they're willing to learn, but not the noobs.

You're the best kind of new user, the one who reads and tries to keep informed. I'll be glad to help if you have any questions.

well im glad its not overlooked

So, I think "Do NOT necro threads" should be added here. I'm seeing that a lot recently. It's just ridiculous.

I think that is general forum etiquette, not much SGS4G specific.

Updated #9 since we now have an official GB Upgrade. Will be taking #11 off as soon as we get new kernel working to run CM7.

Nice laws. I made the rom manager mistake when I was a noob. Seemed like the easiest way to go, until my phone wouldn't boot.

has anyone figured out why rom manager cannot be used...and if so what are proposed solutions

hey guys could you please direct me to the link on how to totally start over fresh.. basically if i want to do a complete wipe and start over on my phone ive got the kj6 version.. i think its probably a good idea for me to familiarize myself with it now thanks..

Look up Raver's Odin KJ6 rom. It'll leave your phone as if you had just downloaded the Kies official update.

Thanks alot... I've just been putting particular things on my phone.. Checked out and installed a few roms... I've read on some of these threads about ghost roms and other issues just want to make sure ive got my bases covered.. Thanks again..

I know it's a little late, but updated #11 since we now have the kernel source for gb.
sent from within pure darkness.

Thanks for this thread. Took me over a week to wade through and find this starting point. I just rooted my phone and have been nervous about flashing a rom with all the different ways posted on how to go about it.

ODIN Custom ROMS??

Is there any roms that have been converted to flash with odin for this phone yet?! Id love to install a custom rom so I can get root access but have yet to find any that have been converted for this phone.

Dear NeonSkunk -
Please stop starting threads and and making posts until you have had the opportunity to read a little. The amount of posts and threads you have created in the last two days is a bit much. I understand searching and reading through this forum can be tedious because people like you clog it up with crap, but you will learn something if you read.
Nobody is going to go through the effort to create anything for you! I guarantee it!! You have not even put in any effort into reading. The fact you refer to clockworkmod as CWN is proof. You are asking for roms flashable through ODIN. For goodness sakes read and you will find the ODIN flashable ROMS!
Follow the GB Ext4 Starter Pack as that has been ALREADY recommended to you. Read and learn what CWM is. Read some more!
You can teach YOURSELF everything you need to know so you can flash whatever you want - without asking a single question and clogging up the forum with crap!! I promise you! This forum is awesome and filled with priceless information. Take advantage of it!!
Sincerely,
Lumin

That was like poetry. I couldn't of said it better myself.

Yes an other noob questions

...

If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.

im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.
