I have used the S-OFF method and my phone is S-Off but when I try to go into Recovery mode from Hboot it sticks on a white screen with HTC in green across it, how can I get around this, any help?
Hallo,
after S-OFF I had a similar problem. I got the Bootloader open but wenn I Recovery the Phone sticks and I had to get out the Battery ... Then I flashed/installed the the "clockworkmod recovery" again from Here, after i could enter Recovery and flash Customrom.
I hope that is it .... have luck
do i have to have the whole folder on my SD card? Or just the recovery file, or leave it zipped?
You leave the zip zipped.don't extract it because you will break the signature.

This is what I did and helped me ;
'Fast Boot' to download if you do not have it yet. If you already have the Android SDK on the computer then there fast boot in the folder 'Tools'
Remove device Unignore battery, insert battery again (do not connect device to PC!)
Put device into bootloader (by volume down button + power button (hold down both), the boot loader screen 'fast boot' Select
Device via USB to PC
the 'fast boot' zip and unzip the pack Inalt together with the 'recoveryImageName.img' in a folder
CMD (in the search field 'cmd' type, ENTER) (Windows command prompt) on the PC
in the CMD field to navigate to the folder where to enter the boot files and are almost img and the following command:. fastboot-windows flash recovery recoveryImagename.img

I don't know if i can call it bricked but its stuck on the google logo. I can press volume up and power and get into fastboot (i believe thats that its called).
Is there anything i can do or send it to Samsung?
I have no problem with rooting it if thats my only option.
Edit: when i try to go to recovery from fast boot i get the animation you get when its updating. After about 15 seconds it shows the android on its back with an exclamation.

Ok, you'll need a Windows computer to fix this. Linux should work too but if you're using Linux I guess you could figure out what would be the instructions for Linux yourself. Mac would work too but I don't know how.
Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27965168&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.

Don't worry my friend
Don't worry my friend

Did you even read his problem and what he has already tried?
Check to see if fastboot is seeing your device. Enter the command fastboot devices. It should give you your serial number in the command prompt.
Had the same problem at first.
I just wiped and reflashed and worked like a charm

yea it showed up on the phone. i did volume up to yes and then pressed power. It reboots. And gives error on CMD.
Also lockstate is still locked.
Try using this tool: http://www.redmondpie.com/unlock-bo...d-nexus-7-with-all-in-one-nexus-root-toolkit/
I was unrooted and everything after I flashed a Jelly Bean rom and it seemed like nothin i did could get me CWM back so I used that tool and it pretty much did it automatically. It has an arsenal of commands that could work for you hopefully, good luck

That means we can't use fastboot because the bootloader is still locked. And we can't use adb because we can't boot into Android. I guess that the partition table is f*cked up.
It's possible that you can use ODIN and download mode to fix it but I'm not sure. Because the Nexus has fastboot I barely use ODIN, I hope somebody who's familiar with ODIN and with what it does reads this and helps you.
Be careful with ODIN though, now I know what your problem is I would consider going to a Samsung service center. You didn't root or unlock it so they can't blame you for doing something wrong or voiding the warranty. Just tell them this happened after the OTA update and don't tell them you did it manually.

It does the same as the guide above, only sends fastboot commands so it wouldn't help.

Ok, the problem/solution doesn't change. If you would have done it manually you would have flashed it in recovery but the automatic update process does the same (it instructs the recovery to auto flash it on reboot).

Okay i got to the step where i would mount USB storage from CWM.
But when i choose it i get the message "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile )No such file or directory)"
You think there might be something wrong with the USB storage? Hardware issue?

>> I had the sample problem but i installed the HTC Sync Manager and then it worked.
It seems that the USB drivers of the device are not in the SDK from Google but in HTC's software.
i didn't understand how to "run the recovery bat file...while connecting the phone in fastboot usb mode." or "run bat file from desire vc recovery to install recovery.(phone in fastboot mode)"
EDIT: I've successfully rooted my phone!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Unlock bootloader (following htcdeveloper's instructions) - It took me sometime and i got stuck with the "waiting for device" for a while but then i installed HTC Sync Manager and i could finish that 1st step successfully. (When i go to the bootloaed i can see "Unlocked")
2. Copy the file "recovery.bat" (which was a chinese file "点我运行.bat" so i had to rename into "recovery.bat") at the root of the internal memory and i also put the folder "files" (which was with it from the .rar i downloaded) including: adb.exe / AdbWinApi.dll / AdbWinUsbApi.dll / fastboot.exe / recovery.img
(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)
3. Copy the file "root.zip" at the root of the SD Card BUT rename it "update.zip"
4. Selected the "debugging mode" and "disk drive" as choice per default when i plug the USB cable
(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)
5. I restarted the device and go to the bootloader. (Pressing both "Power button" + "Volume -")
6. The menu is : Hboot / Fastboot / Recovery / Factory reset / Simlock
Choose "Fastboot" and plug the USB cable ("Fastboot" became "Fastboot USB")
From your computer, launch "recovery.bat" file, a window will appear, press "Enter" and wait a few seconds.

thank.. bt hw iam going to flash it? n does the CID need to match ?
4. Flashing RUU manually
4.1 Getting PG58IMG.zip from RUU
Run the RUU executable as you normally would, but don't proceed to the second step i.e. when a second window appears, do nothing. Do not proceed, just ignore it for now, but don't close the window.
- Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Open Window Explorer" option.
-
- If you use Windows XP
Copy-paste this in the navigation bar:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
- If you use Windows Vista/7
Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
- Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
- Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
- You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
- Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
- Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip

4. Flashing RUU manually
4.1 Getting PG58IMG.zip from RUU
Run the RUU executable as you normally would, but don't proceed to the second step i.e. when a second window appears, do nothing. Do not proceed, just ignore it for now, but don't close the window.
- Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Open Window Explorer" option.
-
- If you use Windows XP
Copy-paste this in the navigation bar:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
- If you use Windows Vista/7
Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
- Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
- Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
- You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
- Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
- Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip

When you are on stock look on settings - > Info - > and check for updates.
If there aren't any updates, then your phone hasn't received it yet in your country.
Then you will have to wait for the update...

This is going to be pretty long and have had the problem for months so please bear with me, read and see if you could assist.
Borrowed a friends Nexus S a while back. Used it for a few days, turned it on one day and it stays on the black google screen with the open padlock at the bottom
I am able to enter Fastboot mode is shown in image 2; lock state is unlocked.
I followed the instructions as in post 2 on the following thread

and as copied below but when i got to the part where i needed to mount my sdcard i get the error " unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file)".

Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re...0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...68&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.
Someone else wrote down the same instructions if mine are not clear enough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1785672

This prevented me from putting the stock image on the sdcard for flashing via CWM.
is there another way i can get this working, maybe via fastboot or via ODIN so i can return my friends phone.
Thank you.
Hi I had this problem to, mine was from a bad flash / bad firmware.
First I suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284670 better recovery.
After from recovery
select factory reset, wipe cache, and from advance wipe dalvic cache.
then select mount usb, copy to card slim bean 3.1.0 http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/465-crespo/2505-slim-ns-3-1-0-official plus gaps http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/461-addonsfullpackages-412/2501-aio-addons, flash them in this order.
After first boot and config u can use http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ to write the OEM firmware.
Sorry this didn't work because nothing can be written to system and the sdcard is still not able to mount
