I tried to use the superboot method for 2.3.4 as I have in the past, and did it, but now my phone gets stuck on the Google screen with the unlock symbol. I can boot into Bootloader Mode, but I have to do a battery pull to get off the Google screen. I need help ASAP.
I have a Mac with Fastboot installed
I need to get fresh 2.3.4, no root
I have the stock recovery
Try using oneclick.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
That's not enough information. Plus I don't care about root. I just need a working phone at this point
Download both cwm recovery and a full rom for your device (see sticky in general forums for the rom)
Flash cwm recovery via fastboot
Boot into recovery
Factory/data reset
Wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&Storage > format /system (should be enough, if not format everything there is)
Mounts&Storage > mount /sdcard
Mounts&Storage > Mount USB storage
Copy rom on the sdcard
Install rom via recovery (install zip from sdcard)
If you get a signature error deactivate the sig check in recovery (install zip from sdcard menu, IIRC not sure, but it's there somewhere)
--
Afterwards you'll have a stock rom with stock recovery, unrooted.

Does anyone know where I can get a stock recovery image for a nexus s i9020a?
I tried the file from the large sticky post with all the rooms but it only gives me an error in clockwork mod recovery when I try to restore to that file.
I also tried installing that file by manually selecting the zip but that just put it in a boot loop and deleted cwr. I put cwr back on and that is where I am at now. Anyone know why the file isn't working or can link me to a nandroid for i9020a that will work with clockwork recovery?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033269
wipe data and cache with cwm, flash the rom, flash the stock recovery image, and lock the bootloader. you might have to update to 2.3.4 manually though, but everything is returned to stock
You say flash the rom then flash the stock recovery image. What is the first rom I'm flashing?
And a step by step:
Go to clm, wipe data,
wipe catch
(what do you mean by flash rom)
Install the stock firmware
Is this ALL done in clockwork?

I can't give you exact instructions cause i'm relatively new to this so you'll have to read a guide or something. i'm pretty sure that it's all explained in the thread that I linked you to.
here's what I did, but you might want to double check.
-open clockwork recovery (you might have to re-flash it through fastboot)
-wipe data, and then wipe cache
-put the zip downloaded from the thread that I linked you to on the root of the sd card
-open clockwork recovery again
-install zip from sd > let me choose zip (or something) > let the zip install
-flash the stock recovery image through fastboot
-lock the bootloader through fastboot
done. then just download the OTA update for 2.3.4 and you'll be good as new
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
I rooted the phone following the steps here on the xda thread and I tried afterwards upgrading the firmware to ics. I followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/update-htc-one...-firmware-rom/ and afterwards my phone just keeps restarting and restarting. I didn't make a recover image because I was too confident that it was going to work. Afterwards I panicked and pressed factory reset, thinking everything will turn back to normal. I lost all the files I saved onto the sd card and I don't know what to do now. I can't even use the all in one kit. Please help, I greatly appreciate it
If you can't get into bootloader/fastboot anymore, you're bricked. I would not know how to revive it. Otherwise, you're not bricked.
You need a functioning recovery. You can flash it in fastboot if you're unlocked.
If you have successfully flashed a recovery but you can't boot into recovery, try erasing your cache from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
If you can boot into fastboot, make sure you can mount your sdcard partition. I don't mean mount it onto your computer over USB, but just mount it onto the root filesystem.
If you can not mout your sdcard partition, go to the sticky in Q&A on fixing unmountable sdcard. It involves flashing a stock recovery and clearing storage in bootloader. If you had to do this, flash your custom recovery back and confirm you can now mount your sdcard partition.
Now that you have a functioning recovery and a mountable sdcard, you're good to adb push a rom to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. I suggest you format system, data, and cache first. You probably need to flash the boot image that comes with the rom from fastboot.

Hello A510 owners,
After playing with patching google store using lucky patcher, my tablet start to bootloop...I was on Piccolo Rom,so I just flashed the rom again (wiped everything that could be wiped), but didn't worked, still bootloop...So I said to myself, let's make a fresh and clean install and get back to stock. I've download a stock rom, put it on my external SD Card and flashed it in CWN. I got a warning like I won't have recovery anymore after flashing but accept anyway, and start to flash...Tablet reboot and this is what I get :
Code:
erasing cache before sd update
SD update cmd : recovery
--update_package=SDCARD : update.zip
booting recovery kernel image
[COLOR="Red"]Recovery verified failed[/COLOR]
Then, I tried many stock rom I could find on the internet, still same error. I even tried with removing first line of the updater-script, nothing work...and I can't use adb anymore to push cwn again.
Any idea ? I really need help here ! :crying:
I guess u might flash the stock n still kept the cwm, so u can't enter the cwm anymore 'coz the bootloader was locked back.
Maybe u can try to unlock first, or u can consider to rewrite the recovery partition.
Rename update.zip to something different, CMW may not accept "command line" flashing.
Anyway if you can boot CMW (rename update.zip first!)
a) wipe dalvik-cache (under Advanced) and try to boot
b)if this fails- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
THX guys, I don't know how but I just format everything and reinstall cwn+rom, and it worked... I just lose all my datas on sdcard:'(

SuperMan-Rom V1.8.1 Aroma - AP will not boot (integrity verification failed)
On My S7 edge, thought I'd give it another go at trying to root since this rom claims to be almost stock with an option to get rid of all the samsung rubbish (like s-voice) that you don't use ever.
Followed all the steps to root, ON STOCK OS, entered developer mode, allowed OEM, allowed USB debugging, turn off verify installs by USB abd. Now It seems the phone is prepped and ready to go.
Flashed TWRP with latest ODIN 3.11, made a backup of stock OS, back in download mode and flashed required bootloader and modem (BL and CP), boot again into recovery to flash AP (SuperMan-Rom_SM-G93XF_V1.8.1.zip). Went through all the process and it seems fine until 1st boot.
***Every try is showing "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."***
Have I Done something wrong to be showing this error every time????
I had the same error message. The cause was that my device was encrypted. TWRP can't handle encryption on the S7 yet. Reboot into TWRP and look at the logs. If it says it couldn't mount /data, then this is probably the same issue I had.
To fix it, I restored the backup OS from TWRP, made a backup of all apps and data to external SD using Titanium Backup and wiped the encrypted partition in TWRP (which removes the encryption and all data). There may be better ways, but this one worked for me.
@Davebnly You need to take backup of the Internal Storage data and then do a wipe using TWRP, Since TWRP cannot handle the Samsung's Encryption the only way to bypass this is by formatting again. This is already mentioned in the Official TWRP Installation post here.
I have this same error after flashing a custom ROM. I did not take a backup of the old stock ROM as it's a new phone and I didn't think I needed to!
Can anyone tell me, if I flash the stock ROM will it let me into the device again?
Is there anyway to wipe the encrypted drive without installing stock ROM?
*UPDATE: I just logged into recovery and did a factory reset and it loaded the custom ROM. Not as lengthy a solution as I expected!

Hi, I'm sorry but what does all that mean? Reboot to recovery??? The only option on my phone is the button to RESET DEVICE and I have two weeks worth of photos and videos that I have not backed up yet! Please help!!! FYI, I have the same exact message telling me to erase all my data because I need to reset my device. Nooo, I am so scared right now.
