Hello Nexus S Community!
I'm coming right from the Nexus One board to you, because a friend of me gots a problem with a Nexus S.
The device boots up and stucks at the Google Logo with the lock symbol.
Any tip for me what can be done from there?
Should it be possible to get to the bootloader to use fastboot?
For now I haveno additional informations
Thanks in advance!
Can you please explain what you actually did before booting up the phone?
Just unlocked the bootloader? Flashed any roms?

I had a similar issue. All I did was install rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Choose your phone type whether its the s or the s 4g and you should be good to go.

its in /etc, you have to rename install.recovery.sh to something else. add .bak to the end of the file name. then flashing cw via fastboot will stick.
Yea I tryed installing cwm from the market and I get am error message when trying to flash a recovery

Okay, it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing because you didn't read the guide. Rooting this phone is so extremely easy.
boot into boot loader
fastboot oem unlock
then download recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then you can boot into recovery and flash custom roms
and also since you are posting here i'm sure you didn't read the rooting guide
Ummm... did you read my first post? I'm new to samsungs and the nexus I just came from the evo read before you speak

Yep, I'm an ass because he posted in the wrong place and didn't read the directions. And you're not an ass because you're now making personal attacks and saying I don't have a life.

Cool story brah, that's why there's a Q and A section, for questions and answers. I see you used the search bar too...

Here's how to fix your problem.
I ran into the same problem yesterday, it looks like you flashed the 2.3.5 ROM called Full Android. It seemed to have overwritten my recovery and is not a rooted ROM. Just reflash clockwork via the sdk and pick a rooted ROM, Pete Alfonso has a great stock rooted GRJ90 ROM fyi.
Follow the one click root way. Its easy did mine in 2 minutes yesterday. Its posted in the same forum,and also theres a video.

Hey guys,
Some questions from a newcomer. I have already searched the forums but could not find a straight forward answer so your help is really appreciated.
1) How to check if my bootloader is unlocked or locked?
2) Once my clockwork recovery mod has been flashed, device is rooted and I have cyanogen mod installed, how do I go back? I mean that how to get the stock recovery, stock android, stock kernel back so it is back to normal in all aspects?
Thanks for your help guys.
1. When you turn your phone on, you should see a picture of an unlocked lock under the Google logo. If there's no pic, then its locked.
OR
Boot into ur bootloader and it says the status there
2. Odin or a nandroid

Not sure if it would help but have you tried removing the battery for a bit and putting it back before trying to go into recovery or bootloader? Just to ensure a clean state of the phone hardware.
I brought a galaxy nexus off internet from Hong Kong a few months back now. All is working good and pleased with phone. I haven't got software update yet and currently running 4.1.1
Does anybody know why ? And how can I get the android update please.
Thanks.

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

Thanks for the tips. Will try rooting option.

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.

Hi guys i am new to xda ...yesterday i unlocked the bootloader by wugfresh's toolkit but after i unlocked the bootloader my phone freezed at the green robot screen i pressed up ,down ,power buttons but the phone didnt respond so i just pressed the up down +power button did just shut it down,...and started it again (i had my heart in my mouth)...then it started successfully +i also rooted it successfully.....my phone workx like a charm now.....so my question is ...has this happened to any user anytime during unlocking the bootloader ???is this a common issue??is my phone safe??plzzz....reply guys as soon as possible
Search in the wugfresh toolkit thread. Sounds like you had a temporary glitch. Your phone should be 'safe', although I'm not entirely sure what 'safe' means.
