Recently, i upgraded my nexus s I9023 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 . But i did that with the fault of upgrading it with a different OTA version as suggested for my phone. The problem is that i cannot load into the boot recovery mode , can i install any recovery modes nor can i downgrade my phone to 2.3.6 without the boot loader .
Any answer would be helpful ...
Btw thanks for ur help.
if possible suggest me how to boot into the correct version or just help me downgrade to gingerbread.
How is the file called, you installed?
Overall I think you have the right version, if everything except the recovery mode is working.
All i9023 have this problem with the official OTA update (look in those threads).
If you really need it for wiping or so on, you could use a bright (LED) flashlight and illuminate the screen from the top then you can hardly see the menu points.
If you have an open bootloader you can flash a custom recovery as well.
I have the exact same problem. Even if flashing CWM recovery and superuser, once the OTA 4.0.3 boots it cripples the custom recovery. Very annoying!
It is like in Gingerbread...
you have to rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old" for example

Does the phone boot, so you can use it?
Can you boot in the bootloader mode (power on the phone while holding the vol+ button)? When yes what says it about its version?
i can boot into the boot loader but cant boot into the stock recovery mode
It's already been answered in this thread. New recovery turns off the backlight for the SCLCD on the i9023. Strong flashlight at the right angle will show you whats on the screen. To install a new recovery you need an unlocked bootloader and you need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else (which requires root).
i tried with the strong flash light but it cant be seen . I ve the unlocked and rooted nexus phone . I tried renaming the file with the file ("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) via the root explorer but it seems it cannot be renamed bcoz it is read only and i cannt change it to read\write option in the root explorer app.
can u suggest any other way of doin so where i can get back to the android 2.3.6 version
Reboot into bootloader and use fastboot to flash cwm, then install your rom of choice without rebooting.
It's much more convenient to remove the recovery from stockrom's zip before flashing it. It's in its own folder, just delete that. And if you really want it perfect, remove the corresponding lines from update-script (optional). No new recovery, no script.
But I guess you need bootloader unlocked for this (to flash a then wrongfully signed rom in this case).
I think I bricked my tab 2 (gt-p3113) it keeps on looping at boot, I recently flashed cm10 on it then flashed stock rom (it was laggy, so I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery to reinstall cm10) after flashing clockworkmod, it kept on looping. I don't know what the problem is, please help.
UPDATE: I kept on pressing random buttons to reach download mode, but I need a stock rom + stock recovery (this rom was 4.0.3) for my device (samsung-updates site is moving servers or so)
I downloaded my stock rom from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295&page=3 it's laggy + apps kept on crashing)
I need a new stock rom because flashing clockworkmod recovery on this rom always causes a bootloop, I want to install cwm recovery to restore my data.
first, try to download the stock recovery from sammobie.com , put it on your external sd & then try to re install CWM via odin, wipe your data and everything (if you're returning from CM10 to stock one) and then re-flash the stock ROM, hope this might help you

I couldn't find it on sammobile, but I googled it (794MB, downloading..) I think the problem was that I flashed cwm for 4.0.4 (seeing as I had 4.0.4 before cm10) then the stock rom I flashed was 4.0.3 (I can't update my device via OTA, idk why)
I'm just afraid the newest firmware I'm downloading lags and so, because the one I downloaded earlier (the 4.0.3 one) keeps lagging and force closing apps.
UPDATE: I flashed it, works perfectly fine, now I'm on my way to flash clockworkmod recovery and to root it in order to run cm10, but is there a way I can ONLY flash the stock recovery back? the md5 file I downloaded contains recovery.img is there a way I can flash it in odin without the whole ROM?

Your Tab is not bricked. A bricked Tab / Phone will not turn on. There won't be any response from the device, whatever you do. Because, I bricked one of my friends Mobile.
All you need to do you is, to install a proper firmware on your Tab 2. PM me if you need any help.
Mine started acting like it was bricked. Refused to turn on. I held the power button for 2+ minutes, nothing. Then I let it charge for 4+ hours and tried to turn it on, again, nada. I then unplugged it and held the power button and it booted. The first time the screen went to sleep it would not respond again. Plugged the cable in for a minute, then unplugged and it started. Battery was at 90%. It is on it's way back to Samsung now. They say 7-10 business days, we'll see.
Ok so I have a sprint nexus s 4g that has never been rooted/modded or anything. It all of a sudden won't boot android now, it just stays at the "Google" logo, so I guess it is bricked but I have no idea how it got to this state. I am able to boot into recovery and download mode so I did a factory reset and wiped cache but still I was unable to boot. USB debugging was disabled when the phone was bricked so I am unable to use adb and fastboot. I managed to re-flash the stock rom via odin which unlocked the bootloader (odin actually recognized the phone in download mode), but still I have had no success... is there any way to get into android or is this a hardware problem? (i'm okay with rooting I've done it a couple times with another device) this is just a spare phone that I have to just mess around with since I recently got my upgrade.
I need help
I have a Tmobile Galaxy s4 M919.
After the 4.3 update, i am not able to completely flash a stock rom in order to have my phone working again.
Tried root, tried CWM ot TWRP, Odin stock, Kies, but every attempt got stuck for ever on the boot logo screen with blue letters on the left hand up corner saying recovery booting.
I can't access download mode but not recovery.
Only onceworked, and i could flash thru KIES and the download screen after that shown:
System Official Samsung
Binary Official.
After that i start to have an issue with SIMCARD non detected, and had to restart and never worked again.
Seems like Knox is dealing with custom rom or bootloader and keeps on bootlogo screen.
Any help will n]be very appreciated.

Best thing to do is use odin on your pc and get the stock rom from samsung or another source, then completly flash it so it will wipe out you phone completly and then reinstall stock. This happened to my m919. If you need more help on how to completly replace the stock rom using odin there are plenty of videos that show you step by step. You just soft bricked your phone so it's fixable.

I have flashed several times via odin and kies, but everytime i still with Binary Official and System Custom.
Seems like the flash does not overwrite the kies bootloader, thats why i am stuck on boot revovery.
Once it worked, the system and binary became official, then i flashed knox free stock rom via recovery.
As i told, i can acces download but not recovery.
Does anyone know any knox free stock rom flashable via odin???
Hi, I'm new to XDA. Sorry if I did something wrong already. But I have a problem, I tried installing a new boot animation to my moto e 1st gen (bootloader was unlocked, it was rooted too). Now whenever I turn the phone on, The WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED image shows up, but there is no boot animation. I cannot access anything, I can only go into recovery mode and CWM. I have tried factory reset using Recovery Mode (No success, just does WARNING boot loop again ) I have also tried factory reseting through CWM, till no success. I am giving up, I just recently bought this phone. NAY help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Can you tell us what firmware was your phone running? Also what recovery do you have on your phone?
If stock, you may try flashing stock firmware via fastboot.

Thanks for responding so quickly! But I fixed the problem a few minutes after posting this . But there is a new problem, I downgraded from Android 5.0.2 to Android 4.4.2. After doing this the phone worked perfectly. Then a few minutes later it installed a system update for 4.4.4 and now the phone is hard bricked. I can't access recovery mode, CWM, or even turn the phone on now. Before charging the phone, if I held the power button for a long time, the LED lit up and turned back off. Now there is no response from the phone at all no matter what I do.
Also, I had ClockWorkMod and stock recovery on my phone (Is stock recovery the one that shows up when you hold power+volume down? If so I had both CWM and stock) But now I can't access either recovery modes. If it at least went into stock recovery, I'd flash stock firmware, root it, install CWM, and flash a Lollipop zip. (I like Lollipop, I don't know why there are so many people that hate Lollipop )
Any help would be much appreciated. All i need now is a way to flash files without going into recovery mode on phone.
