Hi,
So you said you were able to go back to stock? Do you have a recovery image flashed?

Even recovery cant enter?
By the way, you posted at the wrong section, it should be Q&A,
be careful as you might get warning

I can enter the recovery mode but as I don't know how to put the rom zip into the SD card, it doesn't work.
Ahh....Thank you for the warning..

1.If you can enter bootloader that's good.
2.From there, fastboot flash a recovery
3.Enter the recovery from the bootloader itself
4.mount sdcard
5.transfer a rom from ur PC to your phone and flash it

Put your phone into fastboot.
Download ClockWorkMod Recovery: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Flash clockwork mod recovery in fastboot with this command: fastboot flash recovery C:\where\ever\you\put\the\file.img
Then from fastboot select recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset
Install zip from sdcard: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0.1-NS-signed.zip
Do you have a custom recovery?
If yes, then download a Rom to your computer and either a) mount your to computer and transfer the Rom to your phone or b) push it to your phone with adb.
After that is done wipe everything (except sd card) and flash the Rom you just transferred to your sd card. Reboot and enjoy.
If you do not have a custom recovery then download one (search) and place it into the same folder on your computer as fastboot. Then plug your phone into the computer and boot to the bootloader. Run this command ( fastboot flash recovery insertname.Img ). After this do the steps I wrote above.
If you have any questions about the above steps then search you will find the answer. If you unlocked your bootloader than your computer obviously sees your phone and adb works well. If you can get your phone into the bootloader then I don't see any reason how your problem cannot be fixed. This leads me to believe your not quite putting forth the effort to search.
Check the stickies in this section and have fun.

How about instead of making a thread with no one helps me in capital letters and bumping it over and over again. You actually put info in your thread. Like what you did. Examples. Unlocked via fastboot with sdk flashed so and so recovery and so on
Or you could have just searched the forum/read another thread about how to fix a phone stuck at google logo because of user error.
Frankly you are lucky anybody even bothered to help you at all.

[Solved] wont boot after chainfire3d in JB. Fastboot- showing error

I tried installing chainfire3d driver in jellybean( i didnt know then that it is not for JB). Now my nexus wont boot into os. it just stays at the unlocked bootloader logo.
1. I can get into recovery mode
2. I have wiped out the cache and factory reset
3. I dont have a update file in my phone.since nexus dont have an external sd card i cant put any file in it directly.
4. I have tried fastboot -it shows my serial ID and i am able to reboot my phone using it but whenever i try to flash recovery.img or update update.zip it shows "cannot load recovery.img" or "cannot update update.zip"
5. I have tried ADB - on using adb shell it shows "error:device not found"
6. on using Odin (not sure whether it is compatible with Nexus s) it detects my phone. when i tried to flash the stock fireware it fails and my device shows "verify image (radio) fail"
Plz help.Is my phone bricked???????
Ok I don't want to be insulting, but you really REALLY need to read on the whole process of Nexus S rooting and using it.
You don't have to use ODIN at all for something so simple. You simply need to reflash a ROM/your ROM.
Mount your SD from within Clockworkmod recovery and transfer a ROM. Then flash it. Done.
What polo says go to recovery- mount and formay- all the way down "mount sd card". Now your phone will be like a usb drive

Nexus S Recovery mode not working?

SOLVED!!!
Hey all...
I'm new here and really need some help.
So long story short I was trying to root my SNS and managed to unlock the bootloader but when I try going to recovery mode to flash ClockworkMod the phone reboots and I get an error message.
I've looked for simular threads but found nothing, all help really appreciated!
-Jon
Edit:
Okay since I'm new I can't post the picture I intended... The error I get is a picture of a green Droid lying flat on a black screen with a big red "!" sign popping from his stomach. When this happends the phone is absoulutely frozen and I need to remove the battery to turn if off.

The .img file doesn't get flashed from your phone in recovery. Recovery is for flashing .zip files.

If everything is stock then you need to go into bootloader by hold Vol- when turning it on and do a factory reset.
if the mem card has low free space then sometimes this happens...free some space...and try....

Relock your device and run the appropriate RUU file...this will help

Hi. You have to flash STOCK recovery back, wipe dáta, then flash TWRP again and sd should mount then. Worked for me. I think there is a sticky in Q&A about this.

Whenever I connect my phone to the computer it wont recognize it or anything.
Ok, before you relocked your bootloader and flash an RUU, ty this first: go back to the bootloader by holding the down volume and power button. The re flash the stock recovery (not custom recovery).you can find the stock recovery in the threads here. You flash it via fast boot in the bootloader ie fastboot flash recovery ×recovery file×. If you get to your custom recovery you should be able to rype adb reboot bootloader to get you back to the bootloader screen.
Once you have the original recovery flashed try doing a factory reset. The original recovery will run and will reformat your sd card.
This worked for me once when my sd card got corrupted and then I didn't need to relocked my bootloader.

Oh and you should be able to use adb commands when your phone is connected to the computer and you are in custom recovery. So if you have problems getting to your bootloader type the adb reboot bootloader command I described above. And once your in bootloader there should be no reason why your computer won't recognize the fastboot usb. I'd it doesn't you need to un install and re install the drivers on your pc. Then it's not a phone issue.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...tool-nexus-5-multi-tool-3-unlock-cwm-t2509428
The problem is that the link for downloading it does't work.
The firs time that I unlock, and flash recovery and root I used that software.
Can you replace it or give me another link?
Thanks again anche sorry for wonge section....
No. Do NOT use tools like this.
OTA removes root and replaces recovery.
If you want a recovery Download cwm, philz or twrp and fastboot flash recovery image from your pc
If you click the link to the sticky roll-up in my signature, you will find a thread there in section 1 called "adb and fastboot, what is it?". Please read it. You will know everything you need to know

Multiple ways to get into the bootloader. Another is hold vol down whilst turning on your phone
Since I suggested you read my adb and fastboot thread, I added a new section about command prompt. It explains that you need to tell cmd where the recovery image is but otherwise correct.
