I have just updated my nexus s to the latest 4.0.4 update..now i want to bring back root access .. as we all know were going to loose root access if we updated. anyway i previously used this method http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ now im wondering if this also applies to 4.0.4 update and what is the best recovery to flash on this update?
The only thing i did was upgrade to 4.04, dont reboot but flash superuser, all clear, root is back.
[Q](solved) how do i bring back root on my i9023 ics 4.0.4

hmn... what i did was
i went to adb
open cmd
flashed recovery3101.img
after that i installed superuser using CWM recovery . if your using the stock recovery it will only show an error msg. didnt wipe anything ... all is ok and well hehehe cheers!
I have issue with CWM and Root. I've follow the guide here.
I manage to successfully do up to step 4 without error. After that, when I reboot the device, it have a message "android installing update". I installed titanium backup and it says no root access. Superuser is available. When I tried to update on Play "Update for Superuser could not be downloaded due to an error (941)"
I tried to go back to recovery, it is the stock recovery instead of CWM. I've updated my 9023 from 4.0.3 (stock non root) to 4.0.4 using CWM. I've installed superuser using CWM as well. But when I reboot the device, it went back to stock recovery. I've tried fastboot CWM, turn off, then turn back on to go recovery, it is using CWM. But when I reboot, and try to go back to recovery, it goes to the stock recovery.
Appreciate some help. Hope my explanation is clear.
Will
First try flashing the latest Superuser than reboot, then open rootexplorer
Rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak".
All Stock ROMs replace the recovery on each Boot if it isn't the stock one. Renaming this script stops that. After you do this, flash CWM one more time and it'll stick.
Thanks to harbb who helped me with the same isseu
not sure if this is legit... I found a few sites with the same tutorial but different backup apps same file download though... can anyone varify?
filename: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, from a mediafire download (/?57iroxlzh8bb5qi)
from tutorial: Root Nexus S with Android 4.0.4 ICS IMM76 Firmware, from androidlot.com
(sorry can't post link)
it just said to do a recovery from bootloader, no other tampering needed... was thinking of using it if it worked as I just did the Nexus S 19023 OTA update 2.3.6 - 4.0.4 found on this forum but wanted to root to use voodoo sound... first timer and dont want to mess around with roms or cwm... figure no harm rooting as Nexus S probably won't get anymore official updates
Signature verification failed
well i have tried to install the superuser from recovery (apply update from SDcard) but every time i try to install the zip file it gives me signature verification error .

That means your not in CWM Recovery. You have to follow the guide and use fastboot to flash a custom recover. Thats why we use a custom recovery, to bypass the signiture check
so wats da final result?
in ics 4.04 how to flash cwm and root and install vodoo?
ended up using m.sabra's one click root and flash cwm tool (/showthread.php?t=1544940) worked a charm, downloaded voodoo sound plus so i didnt have to flash new kernel, putting music back on phone now (had to unlock bootloader) to see how it sounds
also used appbackup&restore, copied backup folder from sd to computer, used the root tool, redownloded appbackup&restore, copied folder back from computer to phone, allowed install from non market, reinstalled all apps
now have superuser and cwm and all my apps back
Hope this may help. it's the way a did it on my Nexus S
Download fastboot for Windows or Mac.
Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download the Rooted Su Binary for 4.0.4
Make sure you have the necessary drivers installed for your device
Put your device into Bootloader Mode (turn your device off, then hold Volume Up + Power).
Once in Bootloader Mode, type the following into your Command Window
fastboot oem unlock
You should now see a couple of lines go through on your Window.
Then Type the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Provided this went correctly (it should), you now want to cycle down to “Recovery” on your device using the Volume buttons and press Power to confirm. This should boot you into ClockworkMod.
Select Recovery again, navigate to “Mounts & Storage” and then to “Mount USB Storage”. Once this has been done, your SD Card should appear on your PC.
Copy the Rooted Su Binary you have downloaded to your SD Card, and then Unmount USB Storage on your device.
Navigate back to the main menu of ClockworkMod and select “Install zip from sdcard”, then “Choose zip from sdcard” and select the package you just copied across, and then confirm the installation. This should install the package and root your device.
Hey guys sorry i was on vacation, thats why it took me so long time to come back, anyways... here is the link of the step by step procedure on rooting your nexus s, this is what i followed, http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
but what i did was ;
1. after updating i lost root
2. open adb tool
3. flash new recovery3101.img ( this is to replace default recovery from the stock ics 4.0.4)
4.then installed superuser from the new recovery that i installed ( CWM)
i wont go through all the details since , the link already explained that there....so cheers and hope this works for you , all the needed files is in the link also.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
This is complete guide for all HTC Desire HD owners who want's to root their devices and install custom recovery image.
FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG
I have collected and summarize few guides on this forum in order to collect all informations on one place.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835746
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9183483
Summary:
1) Download Paul's Visionary+ tool (I have used version r12) (google removed this app from market) so You will have to download it from Paul's website.
This tools enables root and removes new HTC protection.
2) Install engineering version of HBOOT to get S-Off (HTC bootloader, something like BIOS for Your PC)
This step is optional and it's not required in order to flash custom ROM's on Your DHD but gives You more freedom with Your device.
3) Install custom recovery image (recovery is special program which is invoked from HBOOT
in order to flash ROM onto Your device.
Detailed description:
1) Download Paul's Visionary+ tool
1.1) Click here to download http://android.modaco.com/content/h...722/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/ or download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=447543&d=1290501865
1.2) Install Visionary+ on Your DHD
1.3) Run it, enable "Set system r/w after root
1.4) Click "Temproot Now!" - Wait until it's finished
1.5) Click Attempt Permroot Now!
1.6) DHD automatically reboot's
To test that everything went fine download from market application "terminal emulator"
run it, type su
If You get after that sign # it mean's that everything went fine.
Time for next step!
2) Install engineering version of HBOOT to get S-Off
2.1) Download sfjuocekr DHD script for flashing HBOOT from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835746
2.2) Unzip it and copy it to Your SDCard (It's important that You have on Your SDCard root directory with name DHD and all files inside this directory. Rename DHD-smart folder on Your SDCARD to DHD.
2.3) Run Terminal Emulator
2.4) Type su
2.5) Type "sh /sdcard/DHD/check
(Please be aware that You have to type "sh" in front of command)
2.6) If everything went OK type
sh /sdcard/DHD/backup
2.7) If this also went OK proceed with
sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot
This command will install engineering hboot which have S-Off turned off.
3) Install custom recovery image
3.1) Since ROM manager now officially support's Desire HD, we will use it to download and install custom clockwork image.
3.2) Run android market app on Your DHD and download and install ROM Manager app from market.
3.3) Download and install ROM manager.
3.4) Run ROM manager and select first option (Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery).
3.5) Wait until ROM Manager say's that installation went successfully (Current version of ClockWorkMod is 2.5.1.3)
3.6) After installation tap in Rom manager option Reboot into Recovery to test that everything went well.
3.7) DHD should reboot in clockwork recovery manager.
Enjoy.
This afternoon I've done what you describe in your guide and can say that everything works fine on my DHD !
Another Desire HD free from chains
Alright this probably sounds disgustingly noob but my phone isn't going into bootloader mode x_x. I've rooted the phone and followed the S-OFF procedure and no luck... Any ideas?
EDIT: Don't worry issue resolved. I had to end up using adb shell reboot bootloader. It's still a bit weird though, as to why I can't do this without adb...
Did You manage to install clockwork successfully?

(I hade run into the strange problem for which I'm not sure is it problem with my PC or DHD, each time when I connected my DHD via USB cable my SDCard was automatically mounted as Disk Drive instead of just being in "Charge only" mode. I resolved this by removing back cover and ejecting SDCard and inserting it again while phone was operational, which is very unsafe thing to do!).

known issue : can't remember the app, double-twist I think, it auto mounts SD card. Do you have that? Deselect or uninstall.
Yup looks like it. It's saying ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2. The only issue is, I can't select any of the options lol
EDIT: don't worry also solved that
Just another question though, using NANDROID am I able to backup my current ROM? I'm with Vodafone australia and I want to be able to restore this ROM (for warranty purposes).

sending 'recovery' (4914 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe reboot-bootloader
to reboot Your phone in bootloader mode.
When You are back in bootloader mode select recovery and phone will reboot in Clockwork recovery mode, since DHD does not have optical trackball just scroll 3 times trough menu (just press volume down button until You get message "back menu button enabled".

I just bought a second hands xoom , I really had bad luck because my device reboots itself automaticaly too often
it's about a MZ601 3G 32g. of course I can't find the seller back in my life ...
OS 3.2
build number H.6.5-17-3
Kernel 2.6.36.3
I don't know my xoom belongs to which country . I would like to root it
Becasue I've heard it might be helpfull .
I 'm really an newbie !
Can someone help me out ?
Best Regards
Kevin
The MZ601 is the MOTO/EU/umts_everest 3G: 3.2/H.6.5-17-1 GSM (means you can use any SIM card in your device, you can send and receive SMS)
You first need to install Android SDK, Here is a link to the ADB Tutorial.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/
Instructions assuming that you have successfully installed the Android SDk -
(solarnz)
1. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.
Download the zip file from here - http://goo.gl/Om9aP
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.
2. Flashing recovery
1. Download this Recovery image. http://bit.ly/iLRAIV (place this image in you SDK PlatformTools Folder, or which ever folder that contains your adb.exe)
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
3. Flash recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.
If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.
In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select
Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!

Thx so much I've root my device now .
I've one extra icon calls superuser ??? What can i do with it ?
What is now difference between a normal and an root device ?
What do I have more possiblilitie with rooted device ?
best regards
Kevin
Is this method workable in 4.0.3 or even freshly released 4.0.4?
@Kevin
superuser gives you access to your device settings and all files.
Install root explorer, and you can browse your system files, but be very careful.
With root you can customize you xoom.
To find out more on what root access can do for you, use google to search,
this would not be the place for that. After you get a better understanding of the
root process, browse this forum for Modifications and what not.
Now you gotta find a ROM that fits your taste. You can start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
Make sure you Flash the GAPPS directly after you flash your new ROM, then reboot. There are many ROMS to choose from in this forum. Find the one that fits your device and your needs. Welcome to the Dark Side my Friend!

Yes you can root your device on stock 4.0.3 using this method. From there find a 4.0.4 ROM to your taste and flash it in CWM recovery. (If you are using a XOOM) I prefer the EOS 4.0.4 ROM which is their Nighty Builds. You can find the Xoom EOS Nightly ROMs that fits you device by searching the Forum.

I am using the P6200 but i was having a similar issue yesterday.
How i solved it was doing a re-stock to ICS and installing the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip file in the stock recovery, meaning it might be better to root before you install CWM, Also the App SuperSU app from the market, once this is done.. proceed to install CWM..
This was how i managed to get it going. This worked on the P6200
This is development, not a help section.
Iam sure, someone and me will help you in correct section!!!
And if you would have read a bit here, you would have noticed that almost EVERYONE had this problem after ics upgrade... !!

There's an easier way.
First, obtain root by the method in this thread, which can be done using stock recovery. I did this on my GT-P6210 (wi-fi only, not from T-Mobile, so don't worry about that).
Second, get the newer and better CWM Recovery from this thread, where aorth recommends using Heimdall to flash, but I (and a lot of others) had trouble getting Heimdall to work, so I ended up buying Mobile Odin from the Play store and using it to flash. It worked perfectly. Now I have rooted ICS with CWM Recovery.
@Bad2hold: I feel your comments are uncalled for. There's so much info on here that it's not always easy to tell what's old, what's new, and what applies to your exact situation. Why not be helpful instead?
Yeah, general is better than development section, so here ya go:
Easiest way is to do exactly what you have described above, but using temporary cwm instead of 3e. (Links in the quote)
(Actually the easiest and fastest is the heimdall way but it needs some reading and drivers)
ROOT AFTER ICS UPDATE
Flash with heimdall. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508703
Code: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
Use aorth's img version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29077817
And rename to recovery or type full file name instead of recovery.img
Than flash root+supersu from recovery. flashable zips here:
http://goo.im/superuser and that root.zip what u already have
Or use this method here with temporary cwm touch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28689474
Confirmed working but only temporary cwm with that way.

this is a working root for ICS :laugh:
- Download these 2 files ( CWM.zip and root.zip ) and put in your SDCARD:
- Reboot to recovery: (Hold Volume Up+Power till it reboot to recovery)
- Choose apply update from external storage.

Have fun
. I don't even want a custom ROM. I just want to be rooted and run stock with rooted google play store apps. Am I there?
I just want to run rooted apps with no ROM flashing...oh god why...where is the guide to root and only root?
You'd think this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652398 would be where to go to do that, but evidently it's sending me down the road to custom ROM flashing. AGHGHGhjkdashbdas. Do not want.
Ok, so here's where I am, I have finished step 8:
1. Download Odin 1.85 .
2. Download(USE FIREFOX!) ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 OR TWRP 2.2.2.0, they are both named "recovery.tar.md5" and will be downloaded as "recovery.tar.md5", DO NOT CHANGE the filename or else it wont install.
3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
6. Only Click "PDA" and select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
7. How To Put your device into Download Mode: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT to your phone.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (f)
e. Insert the USB cable into your device. The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted - DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON.
f. You will now see a screen w/a yellow triangle warning you about installing a rom . Now release the volume key(s) - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
g. Press and release the "Volume Up" key to enter into download mode - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
h. You should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
8. Click Start in Odin. It will flash the new recovery and will reboot the phone when completed. Your device will autoreboot into android. You are done using ODIN.
9. UPDATING CWM OR TWRP:
Now you need to udate CWM, download and copy cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_skyrocket.zip file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and choose "INSTALL FROM SDCARD" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
sk8erwitskil's CWM thread is here HERE , check to see if above file is the latest or dl the "Flashable zip" CWM file from there.
If upgrading TWRP go here HERE and follow the dev's instructions on using goo app, or you can use the flashable TWRP 2.4.1.0 file HERE and copy that file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and pick "INSTALL" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
How to enter recovery read section #2 below.
How to use cwm read THIS, also read Q&A on recoveries
You can upgrade to either CWM OR TWRP from which ever recovery TAR file you used in ODIN in step #2 from above.
10. You're done newbie and soon to be a power user, read and educate yourself as much as you can before flashing, happy flashing.

Assuming that you have successfully installed your custom recovery you then need to know which recovery you installed before you update it. If you used CWM you can get the updated version from the Skyrocket development thread. Put the updated CWM file on your SD card and flash that zip while in recovery. If you used TWRP you can update it through the app that it installed if it did install one. GooManager (someone correct me if I am wrong on the name) I think GooManager needs suoeruser privileges. So which recovery did you flash?

i think you should stay on stock, read more b4 you brick your phone, no sense in rooting/installing custom roms when you dont know how to install a file on your scard, im not putting you down but trying to give you friendly advice
Vincom has a point. I taught myself through these forums and Google how to do it back in October of 2011. I flashed many a ROM and many files since then until I bricked mine Thursday. Now I have to pay 60 dollars to get it fixed. But on the upside I now have a Note II to play with.
Edit: She is asking for help though and she did ask in the right thread. Some people need more help than others.

a. put updated file in your micro sd card.... plug ur micro sd card to pc... drag file and drop it in your micro sd card. put the micro sd card back in phone.
b. to go to recovery press power button + vol+ + vol- all at once and hold.
why do u need to unlock play store app? playstore is accessible completely even without root. you can also sideload Amazon appstore and other apps without root. no need to get all bricked up just to run playstore. i'm confused what are you trying to do again?

im guessing he wants to run apps from play that require root, eg titanuim backup, but he doesnt know how to put a file on his sdcard, but then he has to learn how to install zips from recovery which someones got to teach him since he doesnt want to read/learn/search for the answers. he seems to be impatient and wants it done "now", its a brick waiting to happen, my advice to him was to slowdown and learn

agree and such bad attituted too. i wouldn't want to help anybody who cusses in every conversation geez little respect goes a long way
It you just want to root and not want to flash any custom ROMs or anything related to it,I will tell you how to from total beginning
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST , BACKUP EVERYTHING
In order to root Android 4.2 the following three requirements must be satisfied beforehand:
The Android SDK, which you can download from Google Developers
A custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
SuperSU, which you can download from CF-Root
There are no major differences between the two, but TWRP is more touch-oriented thanks to larger buttons. CWM is also available in a touch-compatible variant, but it has much smaller buttons. It's a matter of personal preference between the two though, but you have to choose one.
Before starting the process I urge you to perform a backup, as all data might be lost afterwards. You can copy the contents of the SD card to a safe external location such as cloud storage service or computer hard drive.
The first step that needs to be performed after all the files are downloaded is to install the Android SDK. Afterwards open the Android SDK Manager and select the following two items:
Android SDK Platform-tools -- it contains the required programs to install Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Google USB Driver -- it contains the necessary drivers for the Nexus device
Then you should create a folder in an easily accessible location within the command line. In this example I will use a folder named "Root" in my C:\ drive in Windows. The path name will therefore be: "C:\Root".
From the folder where Android SDK Platform-tools is installed (in my case it is "C:\Program Files x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" copy the following files to the previously created "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
The following files must also be copied to the "Root" folder:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery that you previously downloaded for your specific device (please see below)
For my 8 GB nexus 7 wifi(codename "grouper" I will use TWRP with the name "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img".
You can easily find the codename for your devoice by looking into Google
The custom recovery file differs for each device, please make sure you download the correct file
In order to make the process smoother for instance the SuperSU file can be renamed to "root.zip" and the custom recovery to "customrecovery.zip". It's a matter of convenience, but for accuracy I will stick to the original naming for this guide.
If the previous steps are completed you must have the following six files in your "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery. In my case it is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img"
From there, you can proceed to install the drivers for "fastboot mode". To install them, follow these steps:
Power off your Nexus device.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down then press and hold the Power button; the device will now enter "fastboot mode".
Go to Device Manager (Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager in Windows 7/8) and identify the device; for me it shows up as Android 1.0.
Right click Android 1.0 and select "Update Driver Software," then select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," then click "Next".
From "Have Disk..." option go to the folder where you have Google USB Driver installed (for me it's "C:\Program Files .(x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and select "android_winusb.inf".
Out of the three options select "Android ADB Interface" and validate any future warning window to install the driver.
Final preparations
Everything is prepared in order to start the installation process, but in order to do so a command window must be opened. Windows Key + R opens "Run"; type in "cmd" and the command window appears. Typing "cd C:\Root" and pressing Enter sets the "Root" folder as the working directory. Pressing the Shift key and right clicking inside the "Root" folder will also deliver the same result.
The device must be turned on in "fastboot mode" which I have explained at step no.2 during the driver installation process, and obviously plugged-in to the computer. You then have to type in the following commands while in "fastboot mode":
fastboot devices -- this is just for verification purposes; if there is no listed device then the drivers have been improperly installed and steps 1 through 7 must be redone.
fastboot oem unlock -> you have to accept the prompt in order to continue -- this command will unlock the bootloader, but it will also erase the data on the device which is why a backup is necessary.
fastboot reboot-bootloader -- this will reboot the bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img -- this will flash the custom recovery --please use the specific file and name for your particular Nexus device!
fastboot erase cache -- this will erase the cache -- might not be necessary but it's just as a precaution.
fastboot reboot -- this will reboot the device.
After Android 4.2 is loaded and running the SuperSU file must be copied from the "Root" folder to the internal storage (shows up in Windows Explorer as a Nexus device). A simple copy and paste will do the trick here.
Then you have to power off the Nexus device and enter "fastboot mode" again. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate until you can select "Recovery Mode". After the power button is pressed the device will reboot in the new custom recovery.
Rooting your Nexus device
If you have ClockworkMod installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select "0" (zero) folder
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Yes - Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Go Back"
Select "reboot system now"
If you have Team Win Recovery Project installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Press "Install".\
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" -- for me it's in the "0" (zero) folder
Swipe to confirm flash
Press "Wipe cache/dalvik" (just as a precaution)
Swipe to wipe
Press "Reboot System"
After Android 4.2 loads your device can run apps with elevated privileges (meaning it's rooted). A SuperSU app is installed in order to allow root requests, so please use your judgement on which apps you grant access.
If you experiences any problem, please reply and I will look into it.

I don't know if I understood you but just to be sure; you get in recovery mode CWM and on reboot TWRP?
I don't think you will like this solution but probably you will get your phone to work again xD (you will lose your data)
First of all you need:
- Android SDK bundle (google it, you will find it) on your Computer
- And a Rom you want to sideload (In your case the Cyanogen Rom)
- Cwm
Follow this steps:
1. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> go to platformform-tools
-> copy your ROM (ZIP-file) inside that folder
-> and name it to ROM.zip (so you won't need to write down a longname in cmd afterwards)
2. go to the SDK bundle folder you downloaded -> go to sdk
-> now press [shift] + [right mouse button] on platformform-tools (folder) to open cmd
3. Reboot your device into recovery mode (use cwm)
4. Go to “Mounts & Storage” and make sure that you can see “Unmount /sdcard/” and “Unmount /system/” (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount).
5. Now connect your device to the PC.
6. Once the phone is connected to the PC type “adb devices” in the cmd. If it returns a long alphanumeric string the phone is successfully connected in ADB mode. (if not look out for a usb driver for your phone; most time the problem lies in there)
7. Now type “adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip” (replace the word ROM if didn't named it)
8. This may take a while so be patient.
9. Once the process is complete you’ll see a message like <12345678kb to 1234567kb> on the cmd window.
10. Now unplug the device.
11. Go to the main screen of recovery and perform factory reset, wipe cache partition and then in advance menu wipe Dalvik cache. (Now you will lose your data for sure xD)
12. Now go to install zip from sdcard and choose the zip file you just transferred.
13. Once the process is complete, reboot the device
Hope this will help you.

So I got to step 4 and I see the mount system but I don't see umount sdcard
Then mount system or skip this part
5,6 and 7 are the most important part.
Can you push the Rom on your phone?

so I wrote the command and it sad "5143kb/s «241840314 bytes in 45.912s»"
then i went install the zip and I can't find it
ok i went and mounted the data , pushed the file and installed it, thank you so much
But now i need to install the stock backup that I did with TWRP
That's pretty weird xD Because you get the message for a successful transfer but can't find the Zipfile.
You could try to push the Zipfile again and don't wipe anything at all (because you already wiped everything) and try to find the Zip file again to flash it.
Btw what does CWM gives you as options if you click install Zip files?
