thanks for responding

Sure, it's called ClockWorkMod Recovery.
Download a copy of one of the stock ROMs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664) and flash it through Clockworkmod.
We don't need no fancy applications!

Clearly you didn't take the time to think out your response. If he is not unlocked then your method wont work.
There are 3 common ways. First is flashing the partitions via fastboot. Second would be using the ODIN software. Third would be what was mentioned above. Unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery such as twrp or clockworkmod. From this recovery you can flash any rom you choose whether its stock or custom.
Good luck.

is your nexus rooted,yes or no?
cuz your saying RE flash.
if so.
instal clockworkmod and download a rom.
if not.
than you got to unlock it. or ADB push the stock rom.
and ODIN is a last resort.
i my self do not recomand odin with the nexus s models(well not the 3G versions[i920/i923])

Since he is talking about flashing ROMs, I figured it was safe to assume that he has an unlocked bootloader. But you're right of course in saying that he needs to be unlocked in order to use CWM.
Then again, I would never suggest to have him 'flash his partitions' through fastboot since he's asking for a GUI solution.
And I don't see or read anyone use ODIN on the Nexus S. I know it's developed with the Galaxy S in mind and I can't say how compatible it is for our phones. If it is- then ODIN would be the easiest solution.
My reponse might have been brief and cut to the chase, but it's the safest, most documented and in my opinion best way to flash a ROM for our devices.

I listed fastboot because most people coming from other devices wouldn't be familiar with it as on most phones it is locked down. Yes Odin does in fact work with the Nexus S, but I only recommend it as a last resort not a go to option.

Stock rom

Looking for a complete stock rom without root. Something someone could flash and go back to factory and with all the gaps all ready loaded. I looked all over but could only find stock with root.
Thanks
so you want a stock rom without root.... and all that is available is the stock rom with root...
to avoid being an ass and stating the obvious
have you tried un-rooting the stock rom with root?

Not trying to be mean too. But have you downloaded the file? If you did downloaded it, have you extracted the contents? If you did extracted the contents, can you let us know how to flash those BIN files?
That is the stock unrooted firmware. Just reading the last few posts on the thread looks like how to reflash stock hasn't been discovered yet.. at the same time you can unroot with superoneclick the do a factory reset with volume down and power button.. that should be "stock".. stock froyo should be 60-75mb as far as any mods by LG.. idk.. wouldn't think it would make it 500mb (lil over actually I downloaded it a couple days ago just to have it around). But this really should be in general.. if your having a problem ask.. there is a lot of great minds willing to help..

Yes that is the stock unrooted firmware. But it contains BIN files. One is the baseband which is flashable via Smartflash. I tried extracting files out of the bigger BIN file via ExtractNow and also mounting it via Virtual Clone Drive but it didn't work.
I've already asked paulobrien to make an NVFlash stock rom release for the G2X much like the one he did for the O2X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007825). But he hasn't replied yet.
If I know the odmdata value and the android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg, I would have done it myself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13233855&postcount=70
Yea same thing here with me I've asked Paul to help with nvflash commands but no answer back yet. Im one of those that can benefit from this right now as my phone in a boot loop, But all of us will benefit from this sonner or later. After flashing ex amount of roms and themes its always good to go back to stock and start flashing from a stock build.

[Q] Root NS4G 2.3.7 without clockworkmod?

is there any way to just obtain root access without having to install a custom recovery? I would like to just have root on stock
I think every time you reboot the phone your recovery will be set back to stock. You have to flash CWM every time you need to use it.

This is incorrect. Once you flash a custom recovery it is there to stay unless you remove it. Now on too the real point. Why would you want to root and not have a custom recovery? The point of having root access is to be able to gain access to things you can't unrooted and top flash custom firmware, hacks, mods, etc. which you cannot do with stock recovery. Secondly why would you want to stay on stock gingerbread when there are TONS of beautiful ICS roms to run. If you really want to be stock then root and flash a deodexed stock ROM. If not try MIUI or a tweaked out ICS ROM.

This is MIUI and it's beautiful.
Anyways...If your problem is with CWM in general then flash TWRP (great UI and all touch input) as far as rooting check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17300587 there are how to videos and what not. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9919944 for everything you need to get your phone connected to your computer (drivers, etc.) And here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21968928 for different recoveries.
Trust me, rooting and flashing custom firmware is the best thing you can do for your NS4G and is safe as long as you always follow instructions and keep a good stable nandroid backup just in case.

There is great support here in our forums. If you have troubles or questions with anything it's just a post away to ask. We're all pretty nice here. Lol. Mostly.

Its not that I am afraid to flash, I constantly flash roms but i am most comfortable with gingerbread and was wondering if i can just have it rooted without a custom recovery because I dont want to flash any other roms for the time being.

Only if you install a custom ROM. The stock ROM reflashes the stock recovery on every boot.
It can be disabled by removing or renaming /system/etc/install-recovery.sh though.

How did he manage to flash a rom s-on? Surely you need a custom recovery for that?

HTC Dev unlock will let you install a custom recovery while S-ON, then bob's your uncle.

Well Bob's your uncle lol. You can flash a custom recovery image when you are HTC Dev unlocked. HTC Dev unlocks your system partition, boot partition, and recovery partition.
i tryed to flash the ruu last night but it get to the point where it need to reboot in to boot loader but does not do anything
anyone got any idears

It's a shame people like you have to be on boards like this where we're working with technically complicated processes and data, and you post a ridiculously vague question with absolutely no information. His response was appropriate, and equated to a simple "uh huh.....that's great".
Until you post more information for people other than "I tried flashing it and it failed at 10%", nobody is going to care. The people I see on XDA.....man....
Noone has a clue what you flashed, what processes you used, what files you used, what steps you followed (and didnt follow), etc, what commands you entered, how you flashed items, etc.
Make sure that you're flashing the latest version of your phone's ruu, make sure the phone is locked and in fastboot before you flash.

Just hit cancel for Twrp password. Also this may have the same issue as the other root tool, if you aren't flashing a rom after unlock and root you must clear data in Twrp. There are threads around here about it, in general I believe. Try booting back into bootloader then Twrp and wipe data, see if it boots. I fixed mine this way. If not there is a restore dead nexus 1 click in the development forum that'll get you up and running again.

oh, sorry about that, this tool is an alpha(do not have the device but has been tested) as for the bootloop part the program asks you if your stuck in a bootloop then directs you to a thread that fixes that as these are 2 different processes.
this tool is classed as development, and the unbrick process is part of trouble shooting and help!

Prepping for 4.4.3 OTA Question

The M8 is the first HTC phone I've had. I was a Motorola fan until they locked down their phones tight. I've S-Offed, rooted and bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed on my M8. I'm running a few mods through Xposed and have bloatware frozen with Titanium. I'm just curious if I need to S-on or relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery to take the OTA? I've heard to wait for devs to get ahold of the update and check it out first but even then what preparations do I need to make? Would really appreciate the help guys. Thanks in advance.
In order to take the OTA you will pretty much have to go back to stock. I would wait until it drops and flash a custom version so you can keep all your tweaks.
If you WANT to accept the ota, I believe you will need stock ROM, stock kernel, and you will need stock recovery. Not sure about locked boot loader, but s off should be fine.
If you DONT want to accept the ota, flash a ROM like cleanrom with a custom recovery and hang tight until someone packages the firmware. For this you will need to use one of the two s off methods, firewater or sunshine s off
By that do you mean one that devs make flashable through custom recovery? Sorry I feel like a newb with this phone. Wish all manufacturers could just do things the same way. I definitely don't want to lose root or unlocked bootloader
Guess I'll just hang tight and see what other people are cooking up once the OTA drops

Great. Thanks for the help. Definitely like HTC better than Motorola already.
Yeah, I'm sure Scott will make a flashable zip of the stock rom. He's going to stock now to be able to pull files and such. Just wait it out till a flashable zip hits.
Will it be just like flashing on a Motorola? Flash from custom recovery and all my data settings stay just like if I took the OTA?
