Hello all
Just bought this phone I9020T. The phone didn't go past Google so I tried to wipe and format/system. Everything completes fine but nothing changed interns of files and folders
I tried installing ICS via 4.0.4 fast boot but failed on system write.
I'm now able to get into the phone it is running cm9 rc0. However can't wipe from with in either. Neither can I wipe the sdcard.
Any thoughts?
I am unable to format /system or /data or /sdcard partition via CWM 5.0.2.3 recovery.
I can't factory reset the phone.
Here is the fastboot output:

Also just to add I was able to flash ICS bootloader and recovery via fastboot.
Do you have the newest ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
I have 5.0.2.3 installed.
Not touch. I can't flash system with fast boot why should it matter what recovery I have?
So you want to format your sdcard? Am I right? If so, while in recovery, go to "mount and storage" and choose format sdcard.

i have the same problem
accidently wiped the whole system and almost everything besides SD Card and now im stuck on the google logo. Well if you havent already, try fastboot flash recovery twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img. From http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/. That will get you into team win recovery project. From there you can do the same things as CWM Recovery. The problem for me is that i cant flash a rom at all but i can flash google apps. The rom doesnt actually flash for some reason. I have a thread up about this problem aswell :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24827487#post24827487
Please check recovery.log after trying to format in CWM (by choosing Report error). If it shows bad blocks, the chances are your NAND chip should be replaced.
The same NAND memory chip stores all partitions (including USB storage area): with high read/write rates on a large storage area (USB/sdcard part) it's more likely for the chip to go wrong.
How do I change the NAND?
By replacing the NAND memory chip mounted on the PCB.
Are we sure it's hardware?

As in, remove it from the mainboard, somehow find another that is compatible and re-solter the pins back on?
How sure are we that this is a hardware issue? I'd like to be sure before I go plucking NAND chips off of the PCB!
Same exact issue. I've tried countless ways to recover my phone (from recovery and fastboot flashes). It seems like /system not being writable is the kiss of death. Not having /sdcard writable means I can't really do much from recovery. Can't access my backups or transfer anything from my computer. My hands are pretty tied here!
i have the samme problem what can i do?really i can replace nand sd card?
I have the same issue as the OP when flashing the factory ROM for my Nexus S. Things fail at:

I put on Clockwork recovery and can not mount / delete /sdcard, /system, or /data. The log message states:

Since Nexus S is a dev device for me I moved onto others, but would like to determine if I should put it out to pasture / throw it away since I assume there will be no equitable repair / return at this stage.
For several months prior the device gets stuck at the Google logo / flashes then requires a battery pull. Oddly enough I was able to get it to boot about 1 in 3 then 1 in 5 times if I went into stock recovery, let it sit there for a minute or so, reboot back into bootloader then hit power off. "Magically" next power on it without going to the bootloader it would boot normally. Well... This stopped working or I gave up after 5 tries!
This does make me think the poster mentioning NAND failure or a hardware failure for the storage is probably what is happening.
Anyway... I'd be glad to hear if there is any resolution to this matter, but kind of guess it's time to blend this device. Sucks cause it was my only ICS device right now... sigh...
I ended up going through warranty services from Samsung, and got it replaced free of charge, within the warranty timeframe. Interestingly enough they repaired it with me being the second-owner.
Thanks for the heads up on the warranty repair.. Though mine is out of warranty it appears they will fix it for no cost or that is what I was told over the phone. That much is good and wasn't my first assumption that it would be a free fix.

Hey all,
My Nexus S i9020a started getting into a bootloop. I went into the stock recovery and performed the wipes (multople times), but it still did the same thing when booting back up. It didn't remove my data either (I can see my widgets on the home screen before it goes into the reboot) even though I did a factory reset which is suppose to wipes out everything.
I decided to try a factory restore with a Google Image, but the two that I tried (4.0.4 and 4.1.2) both make it to the same part and failed. My bootloader is already unlocked (Lock State - Unlocked)
For 4.0.4

Installed 5.0.2.0, did the wipes and even picked fixed permissions, then tried to flash 4.1.2 factory image again but still failed at the same spot
EDIT: Tried with 6.0.2.5 also, did wipes, fix permissions. tried cm10
was able to push it to sd card, but when I selected it from the menu i get
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.0.0-crespo.zip

Looks like flash drive, system partition or partition table is corrupted.

No. Root not required to flash ROM. Just CWM.
Today I was facing a 4.4.3 issue so I've thought about doing a factory reset to see if this fixes it. So I've gone into Recovery and run a factory reset. Strangely this was taking so long, so after 2 hours I've decided to stop it. I know that stopping this process is not recommended, but I've considered it was getting out of the reasonable range. I've rerun it and same problem, so after 3 hours I've stopped it. And I've thought about restoring the factory image. Unfortunately the process get stuck in the "erasing cache" step:

Well, as a first step I'd like to at least have the phone functional.
These are all the steps I've followed (the bootloader is unlocked):
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz11k.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash system image/system.img
fastboot flash userdata image/userdata.img
fastboot flash boot image/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery image/recovery.img
fastboot flash cache image/cache.img
And then what I said before: select "Recovery" and then press Power Button + Volume UP. And it get stuck on "Formatting /data...".
I don't know what the recovery is doing. Try and flash a custom recovery like philz or twrp. Then fast boot flash it
Then fastboot flash the system, boot, cache and userdata and then see what happens.. If it boots etc
By boot,, I mean kernel

I've been able to recover the phone back to stock with TWRP. You've been really helpful, thank you!
One last question: how does one manage to return to a stock image, stock recovery, locked and untampered device? Following these steps I'm able to do it all except for the recovery.

Those steps are for someone who has returned to stock and forgotten to reset the tamper flag, so the recovery they are flashing is a custom one.

I might be missing something, but on the signature's guide, in the last step (Locking your bootloader+ Resetting the tamper flag) it uses TWRP to install the zip file that resets the temper flag, and this process lockes the bootloader as well. I mean, after doing this you don't end up with the stock recovery but with TWRP.

In the steps he doesn't flash TWRP. He boots to it.
fastboot boot recovery.img
as opposed to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That means you have stock recovery already installed at that point and you do not replace it.
There is also an app called BootUnlocker, which resets the taper flag from within android (With root) so you can just use that. I use that and mine is constantly showing as not tampered

You're absolutely right, I took it for granted it was necessary to flash it before using it. My phone is now 100% recovered, thank you so much!

Hi guys,
I know it sounds like one of many threads already created here.
I have read a bunch of them and the information sounds a bit contradictory or at least I'm unsure.
My Nexus S i9020 has sunk in salt water. I washed it in distilled water then gave it two weeks in a dry, warm environment.
When I try to turn it on I see a menu which is asking do I want to unlock a bootloader or not.
While on Power + Volume Up I can get into recovery menu. When I choose reboot I can see a Google logo with no progress. Pressing the Power button doesn't turn the phone off so I have to take the battery out. But power off through the menu works fine.
I installed necessary drivers / bits of SDK on Windows 7. ADB doesn't see the phone but fastboot does, so I can turn the phone off or can try to reboot it from PC. Looks like USB debugging is off.
Now the question is: can I actually turn it on without unlocking a bootloader? Can I _run_ CWM without unlocking a bootloader?
If not are there other options to turn USB debugging on?
If there are no options and I have to unlock a bootloader, would it 100% kill the data on memory card?
If it will is there any chance to restore it afterwards? If so, how can I do that?
Or should I just forget about it?
Thank you!
First try to flash the factory system.img and boot.img through fastboot, don't wipe and only flash these, you may be able to get in and recover data this way.
If not and you want to try a custom recovery to the best of my knowledge you will need to unlock bootloader which will erase all data
There is a chance that you can still recovery some though, there are apps in the market (disc digger?)
But know that more than likely you won't get anything back
Best of luck though!

Hi demkantor,
Thanks a lot for reply!
Before I kill it completely... :cyclops: How do I find out which image I need to download?
I obviously need 4.1.2 one but do I need "soju" for Nexus S (worldwide version, i9020t and i9023) or "sojua" for Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a)?
The phone I have is the UK version, as far as I remember (I'll double check it later) there was just i9020 on the phone, no other index.
Any ideas about this? Can device ID help here?
And after that the only thing I have to do would be:
> fastboot flash system system.img
> fastboot flash boot boot.img
> fastboot reboot
Am I right?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?csw=1
More than likely soju, since you can't get to about phone to check maybe it will say under battery or if you have original box?
And yes those are the correct commands
Best of luck!
Hi demkantor,
This is what I see in fastboot mode:
PRODUCT NAME - HERRING

According to android-info.txt from soju-jzo54k-factory-36602333.tgz everything is fine so i downloaded it, extracted system.img and boot.img and tried to flash them with fastboot.
Unfortunately I got this:

Can I boot into CWM without flashing and turn USB debugging on from there?
You can try to just boot the recovery but its unlikely
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
That will probably fail too, my guess is you'll end up having to unlock bootloader or run the flashall.bat but either way will do a full wipe, there is the slight chance there are apps in the play store that can recover some stuff if you run them right away but I can't recall if unlocking the bootloader is a format or a wipe (format being much less likely to recover)

Yep looks like it is very unlikely that I will be able to do it without unlocking. I've seen a thread somewhere where the guy was in the same situation and he had to unlock the bootloader but after that was able to restore the data.
Okay then, I'll dig on this a bit more and then try it out. Thanks a lot!
Okay. So finally I had to try unlocking a bootloader and flashing the phone with flash-all.bat script.

But if I press Volume Up + Power (while disconnected from PC) I get a yellow triangle and the text "Downloading... Do not turn off the target".
Data is lost. Fine. Any ideas what could be done in order to make the phone bootable?
Try wiping through fastboot and then flashing the images one by one (instead of the flash all.bat)
This may help

Hi,
I got a notification today that the 5.0 OTA update is available for my Nexus 5. I tried doing the update and Clockwork Mod complained and the update didn't work. I decided to try doing a manual install. I downloaded the 5.0 stock image, adb executable and fastboot executable. I ran flash-all.sh script included with the stock image. It seemed the ROM installed fine but I was stuck on the boot animation for over an hour. I decided this was too long and tried flashing 4.4.4 with the same problem (downloaded the 4.4.4 stock image and ran it's flash-all.sh script), boot animation kept going.
I tried installing a TeamWin as a recovery because some googling told me that the Dalvik Cache may not have been wiped correctly. I tried wiping Dalvik (and everything else) but they all errored out. I completely formatted everything (had the type "yes" for TeamWin to let me). Once again I tried installing 5.0 and had the same problem.
I did some more googling and some people suggested using ClockworkMod. I flashed ClockworkMod, wiped everything (user data, cache and dalvik) and am now stuck on the boot animation of 4.4.2. I'm running out of ideas and I hope someone else knows what's going on.
Every time that I tried running the flash-all.sh script of any of the stock images I get output very similar to the following:

Also, for what it's worth, when trying to figure out my problem with TeamWin I noticed that a message to the effect of "full SELinux support is present".
Does anyone happen to know what's going on?
EDIT: I'm doing this on OS X 10.9
Did you try turning it on and off again?
Quit using custom recoverys and root, in fact, dont even try to root after you install Lollipop. If you are in Fastboot mode/bootloader and it isnt working then you should verify the integrity of the file and try a better USB cable that is dedicated for file transfer, not the cheap stock one. I flashed mine in 2 mintues no problem 5 mintues to load
EDIT: You also have to update your fastboot drivers and adb, there is a new one
Well...I fixed it. I can't say for sure but I think I may have had a bad fastboot executable. I followed this guide and installing 4.4.2 worked perfectly.
Try extracting the .img files and use fastboot to flash them manually. It installed fine for me without errors.
I got a Nexus 5 that won't boot. When you turn it on normally it hangs on the Google logo indefinitely. Recovery mode results in the red triangle logo. The only thing that 'works' is fastboot. But when I plug it into any of my PC's they all say: unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) in the device manager.
I've tried installing various drivers, but it won't detect my phone in any way. As long as the descriptor isn't known by Windows it cannot install any driver. It will just resort back to the error message. Is there any way for Windows to recognize my device again?
I've tried various PC's and USB cables / ports. It's the device at fault not my other hardware for sure.
I plugged in my Galaxy S6, and it works just fine. Now the funny thing is when I plug back to Nexus 5 it is all the sudden recognized. I flashed the stock firmware back and it hang on the google logo again. Now going to fastboot the device is not recognized again. Recovery mode now also results in a Google logo that is stuck instead of the triangle.
After some retries I can connect in fastboot and the device is recognized as: "android bootloader interface"
Now how can I unbrick it? I am able to flash something to the device, i've tried the Restore_Nexus_5_KTU84P toolkit. It flashes but when it's done the phone reboots into the same brick mode.
When I manually try to flash an .img it says:
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
The bootloader remains unlocked when the phone is rebooted? What OS is on the computer? Tried different USB ports and USB cables?
Tried with Ubuntu and I can flash stable now. But no matter what stock OS I flash (tried 6,5,4.4) after that flashing is done and the phone reboots it stuck on the google logo again. Any options beside throwing it in the bin?
And yeah, the bootloader stays unlocked.
Tried the unbrick method as shown here:

Flashes fine, also the memory tests pass. But it doesn't change the situation at all.
If when you try to lock or unlock the bootloader and after a reboot the locking or unlocking didn't take that usually means the emmc is bad.

Are you flashing the userdata.img file too? The file should be flashed last. After flashong, immediately boot into recovery and perform a factory wipe, then reboot.

After flashing I cannot enter recovery, cause every mode except for fastboot results in a stuck Google logo.

Let's try something. I'm going to have you try to boot into twrp recovery and if you can do a factory reset from that. At the bootloader you'll use the commands fastboot boot twrp.img. Where twrp.img file be the full file name of the twrp recovery image. If you don't know where to get twrp Google teamwin nexus 5. Download that to your pc. If it boots to twrp go to wipe and wipe the device. Then try rebooting to system.
So you can't enter recovery, even from fastboot mode?
I couldn't
Don't ask me how, but today I flashed it again to show my collegue that it wouldn't work. And after flashing it it came alive all the sudden. I'm a happy man! Everything seems to work except for the camera, but that is probably something else!

Hmm, disconnected and reconnected the charger, phone froze. Reboot and now it's stuck on the google logo again. I think this phone is toast

Another update
I removed the cover, and all the sudden it booted fine again. The battery was loose inside and there was some duct inside to keep it in place. This phone has been repaired before because the screen was broken. I think something is short circuiting in there. I got it booted now and first I'm going to give it a full charge.
I declared it dead, was able to actually get TeamWin recovery flashed and it worked. Then after some time it was dead again and unable to boot. Also the camera was broken. Thanks for thinking along guys!
