[Q] Can't access root and Google apps

I recently rooted my phone (T-Mobile US Nexus S) and installed the 4.0.3 OTA update from this thread, but now I cannot access any Google apps or get root access on any of the apps that require it.

Ok! first download : http://www.4shared.com/zip/XG506hyV/icsroot-fastboot-recovey.html
just unpack, connect your device and click run.bat.....Good luck!

I ran the .bat, but I get an error saying "Device already rooted", but it is still not recognized as rooted by SuperUser.
Alternatively, is it possible to completely wipe the phone of everything (including root) so I can start over with a fresh phone?

Of course you can, and might be the best idea if you don't mind doing it.
Make sure you have the latest CWM recovery on your phone, download the FULL ROM from this thread (i'm not american so i don't know exactly, but from what i know yours is the I9020T, so get that ROM) and copy it to the SDCard. Now go into recovery, wipe system/data and dalvik cache, then flash the ROM.
Do make sure you have the right ROM though. This will get you 100% fresh and untouched 4.0.3. You can probably clear out any non-personal folders on the sdcard too, but that shouldn't do any harm anyway.
After this, use the attached file from this thread to root, and feel free to update root/superuser.

Actually, that's what I did...I can't use CWM recovery because its displaying an error of no root. So how do I wipe this or fix CWM?

Is your boot loader unlocked? And are you trying to flash cwm through fastboot?

My bootloader is apparently unlocked and I'm trying to flash through fastboot.

Are you sure the following is satisfied:
-open padlock and google logo on boot
-fastboot (on phone) says "bootloader status: unlocked" or something of the like
-you are using: "fastboot flash recovery "C:\path\to\recovery.img""
-you are using the above command while connected to the PC via USB (with working drivers) and that you are in fastboot mode on the phone (turn off phone --> hold Vol. Up then hold Power TOGETHER for about 2 seconds, should give you reboot and recovery options)
It is necessary to be in the bootloader/fastboot interface on the phone when you run the command. Hopefully it was something simple that i said above, otherwise i'm completely lost.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. I didn't use that method to root...
4. I'll try that.

3 is just flashing recovery, that is the code u type into cmd/terminal to reflash the recovery img. It isn't rooting the phone. 4 is how to get into the mode on the phone to use the command.
Its a bit confusing at first but makes much more sense once you do it one or two times.

Where do I go to get the recovery image?

The latest ClockWorkMod Recovery can be found on this page. Just scroll down to Nexus S and download 5.0.2.0 crespo .img. Then just direct fastboot to the folder you have it saved in while using the "fastboot flash recovery C:\path\to\recovery.img" command.

Ok. I've tried this, but in command prompt, I get the following error:
C:\Users\Bruce>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Bruce\Downloads\recovery.img
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Check out this rooting guide, however only go up to step 5 (and do NOT type "fastboot oem unlock", do everything up until that point). This will setup fastboot for you, and setup drivers for your computer. Once this is done, do what you did above and it should work successfully.
Remember to cd (change directory) in cmd to where you unzipped that folder.

There isn't a link...

Sorry, stuffed that up. I fixed the link in my previous post pointing to NexusSHacks - How to Root Nexus S.

It's worked, but when I try to go to the recovery menu, the Google/unlocked padlock screen freezes or it displays an Android with its chest compartment open and a red triangular ! symbol.

I just had a really long reply and managed to lose it by closing the page..
That's the stock bootloader you see there, it probably didnt flash or you rebooted your phone. And make sure that you are flashing the latest CWM you downloaded before.

I flashed the latest CWM, but when I try to go to recovery, my phone freezes at the Google logo with the unlocked padlock.

Have you tried flashing it again, or maybe redownloading the file? And of course making sure it is the NEXUS S version which you are downloading.
Alternatively, try just "fastboot boot recovery.img", replacing recovery.img with the full name and path of cwm.
edit: btw, i'll be gone for an hour or two Bruce so i can answer any more questions/issues when i get back

Custom rom question.

I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone leaving s-on cos of my hboot being 2.0002 or whatever. And need a step by step to installing a custom rom with s-on. I have installed cwm recovery but cannot access it. I spent 4 hours searching on Saturday, can some kind person explain how to do it?

Put the ROM in SDcard. Turn off fastboot and switch your phone off. Then, hold Vol down button and without releasing it, press and hold power button. Hold till you see a white screen, You'll be in Bottloader mode. Press Vol down to highlight RECOVERY and press power to enter recovery. You'll be in CWM (if you flashed it correctly)
In CWM,
Backup your current (stock) ROM in Backup and restore > Backup. It's not necesary, but recommended, as you may want to come back later
Go to Wipe/Format
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
Format Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Then, go back and select Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card and choose your ROM. The ROM is flashed.
Since you are hboot 2.00.002, you have to go through an additional step after that, you need to flash the kernel that came with the ROM, or you'll be stuck on the white HTC Screen. Extract the boot.img from the ROM and do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19071114&postcount=37

Thank you so much!
However I installed cwm recovery from the rom manager but it doesn't show up when I go into recovery, I get a red exclamation point, I press volume up and power and it says something about e something recovery not found?
Also where do I put that command? That kinda stumped me too lol. Sorry for being a noob

OK, first you need to setup adb and fastboot. Use this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
Next, get CWM recovery and instruction on how to flash it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
You'll be flashing it via fastboot. Instructions are there in the second thread. The command will be in fastboot too, along the same lines.
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubt. Everyone is a noob at some point

Hi again, i'm really sorry for being annoying but i dont get this bit.
I extracted android-win-tools to C and put the recovery image in the android-win-tools folder but what am i navigating to? c:\android-win-tools? Its specifically 4. that I'm stuck on.
This is slightly embarrassing!
this was so much easier on my Blade lol.

No need to be embarrassed buddy.
What point no. 4 means is that you need to move the file you want to flash (recovery.img in this case) to the folder that contains your adb files (android-win-tools, or whichever folder that you have extracted the android-win-tools that you downloaded). The rationale behind this is that when you enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, the fastboot will look for recovery.img in its default folder (android-win-tools, or whichever folder you've extracted the adb files to).
So here's what you need to do. For example, if you downloaded the adb files and extracted them to a folder named, let's say, xxxx, which is located in your C: then you need to take the recovery.img file and copy-paste it to the folder xxxx.
Before starting any of the procedures outlined here, first make sure adb can detect your device. (adb devices... sound familiar?)
Now boot phone into fastboot.
Now enter the following commands at the cmd prompt:
C:\Users\UPPY(or whatever)>cd\
Now you'll get the following:
C:\>
Next, you need to enter:
C:\>cd xxxx
You'll now get:
C:\xxxx>
Finally, enter the following:
C:\xxxx> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be done. I know the above looks over simplified... but i'm just trying to be extra nice here
I hope that clears your doubts.

Done! Thank you for all your help, you made it so much easier for me. its all up and running now.

Uppy said:
One last question though, where do i extract the boot image, do i put it in the root of my sd card and finally if thats the case what is the exact thing i type?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After you've flashed your custom recovery, boot into recovery and choose install from sd card, select zip from sd card, then navigate to your rom.zip file, and confirm to flash it using the recovery (on your phone)
But since you've unlocked using HTCDev, this will not flash the kernel as the boot is still locked. You have to bypass this by flashing the kernel manually using fastboot, otherwise you'll be stuck at the white HTC splash screen (Oh! how i hate that screen!!)
The kernel is contained in the boot.img.
The boot.img is contained within the zip file of the ROM you want to flash. So when you open up a ROM.zip (for example Reaper_v1.6.zip) with winrar, you'll see various files inside. Extract the one called boot.img. This is your kernel. Copy-paste this boot.img in your adb folder (like in the previous post)
To flash it, since you've already set up fastboot, just do what you did for flashing recovery.img, and follow the instructions i gave you exactly the same way, except the last part, where instead of recovery.img, you need to type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
now type adb reboot, and boot into your shiny new custom ROM!!
You're done.

I'm getting an error when i try to connect to wi-fi, it just says error, what have I done wrong? grrr.
I think i didnt register the 3.4 boot image, will report back in a minute.
-edit- yeah i typed the command wrong thats all.

I have first read the install instructions from MIUI (saying: full wipe, flash rom) and now I have exactly what you have warned: Phone doesn't proceed, it ist stuck on the white HTC Screen.
UPDATE:
I was afraid of taking out the battery, as this may cause problems, and vol up + vol down + power just rebootet into white htc screen. The only way was indeed pulling the battery (after the vol up vol down power-reboot-gap). Then I could enter into the bootloader the regular way (vol down + power), and change to fastboot, and flash boot.img. Everything is fine now!!!

[Q] Phone can't boot after kernel flash

Hello,
So I have a rooted HTC Desire S with Hboot 2.00.0002, unlocked bootloader and 4ext touch recovery. After a couple of failed attempts of flashing the MIUI rom and nandroid restoring it, I lost the ability to connect to 3G after the fourth attempt. So, I tried to flash a new kernel on it to see if it would solve anything. It didn't, whenever I boot up my phone it hangs on the HTC logo, then reboots a little while in 4ext recovery mode.
From here I again tried to nandroid restore, but with no luck.
How do I get my phone back to working? (what I had before was rooted stock rom)
I have tried these two kernels: http://bit.ly/ozxbWr (HTC-Kernel-2.6.35.10) and the Reaper 3.0 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816).
Thanks.

Alright, found the problem. For future Googlers here is how I fixed it.
So, first I downloaded a custom rom for my phone, MIUI. I placed the zip on my micro-SD card (I have a converter so it will fit into my laptop) and booted into 4EXT recovery. I guess you can use ClockworkMod Recorvery aswell.
In here I picked "choose from SD-card" and picked my .zip file and installed it.
After installation you boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + Power button) and go into fastboot. While in fastboot you plugin your USB-cable.
Set up ADB and Fastboot with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
Now go back to where you downloaded the custom rom to and extract the boot.img file to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is.
Upon up a cmd in your folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe is in (Use Shift+Right click, pick "Open cmd here").
Now write exactly the following
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.
Press Enter and let it do it's job. When it's done you can unplug the USB cable and restart the phone as normally. The phone will now function again.

Did you unlock your phone with HTCDEV? If so then it is extremely well documented that you have to flash to kernel separately.

Bricked my phone trying to update to 4.2! Help!

Hello, all. I've spent the last four hours trying update my AT&T HTC One X running Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 and I failed hard!
First, I used the all-in-one toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash clockwork recovery, and root the phone. The first guide I was following gave me error status 7 when I tried to flash the ROM so I wen to this guide:
update-htc-one-x-cm101-android-422-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/2/ (from team android website)
I got to the step below using the SDK I downloaded from dev.android.com and now my phone is dead! The HTC logo appears and then it goes to a black screen. Luckily, I can still reach my fastboot and clockwork recovery menu but nothing I try makes the phone boot.
Step 8 - Type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 9 - Then, type the following command and press Enter.
fastboot reboot
I just want my phone back to normal please! I don't care about rooting anymore. Thank you.

Quick update...I flashed boot.img of the first link (CynogenMod) and my phone got passed the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen! But now it seems stuck on HTC One (Beats Audio at the bottom) screen. I'll give it a few minutes...
I'm really worried that I did major damage to my phone in the bootloader and clockwork recovery menus. I literally tried every single option there trying to get my phone to boot earlier.

Oh man...it seems stuck. Maybe I should just flash the completely stock boot.img file. If that works, I will factory reset my phone just to make sure everything is back to how it was before.

Dude it sounds like you're trying to flash a cm boot.img with a Sense ROM, that ain't gonna work. You can't just extract a boot.img and flash it with a different ROM.
You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM you're about to flash, then flash that ROM, then flash the boot.img you just extracted.

Thanks for your help man. If what you're saying is correct, does that mean my phone is hopeless? I deleted/wiped everything using the ClocworkMod Recovery menu. When I choose "install zip from sdcard" I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and when I try to mount an sdcard I get "Error mounting /sdcard". I don't think I can flash any ROMs right now unless install zip from sideload is an option (I don't know how sideloading works).

Try using TWRP recovery instead, you'll find it here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
Download it, check md5 is correct, then:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
(Filename = exact TWRP recovery filename)
Then issue this command:
fastboot erase cache
Then:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to select recovery on your phone screen and it should boot into TWRP. Next go to mount and mount usb storage. See if it comes up in Windows, it might need to be formatted from the sounds of it. If it doesn't show up as a usable drive, format it to fat32.
Once that's done you should be able to copy a ROM to your phone to flash. So copy it over, then extract the boot.img from the copy on your pc, then put the boot.img in your fastboot folder.
Do a full wipe in recovery (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system), then install the ROM, then reboot to bootloader, make sure phone is connected by usb, make sure fastboot usb comes up on your phone screen then issue the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Make sure it's the boot.img from the ROM you just flashed. Now once that's done you should be able to reboot into the ROM.

Bootloop (S-ON/No Recovery) :(

Hello,
I have a big problem with my old HTC Sensation.
I tried nearly everything out of other topics, but nothing worked....
The story: Suddenly my Sensation rebooted and from then on it is stuck in an endless bootloop.
The bad thing is, that it was stock/S-ON at this moment.
Informations about the phone:
***UNLOCKED***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
Radio: 11.24A.3504.31_M
-> I am able to install RUUs (3.33), but after installation i am still in the bootloop
-> I am able to unlock/relock the bootloader
-> I can install a recovery via fastboot, but can't boot into it => bootloop
Maybe you have got a hint to bring the Sensation back to life.
Thank you!

Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to do stuff. Most of the HTC Sensations have a HBOOT version that causes bootloops when flashing roms because their kernel doesn't seem to install properly when flashing roms. The ROM should consist of a file inside the zip, usualy in the kernel folder or in the root of the zip that is called boot.img. That is the kernel. First of all, you need to download the tools that have the fastboot and drivers included. Then unzip all of the contents into a folder. Run and install the drivers that that have come in the folder. Then go into the fastboot and adb folder. Shift rightclick onto the empty space of the folder and click open command window here. Then boot your phone into bootloader mode. You can do this using power button and volume down while your phone is off. Once youre in fastboot mode, navigate to fastboot using up and down volume keys. Then press the power button. Plug in your phone to your computer using your HTC sync cable. Then in the adb and fastboot folder, copy your roms boot.img into the folder. Then in the command window, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' without the quotation marks. It should say sending and then writing. The process should take no longer than 20 seconds. Once done, restart your phone. Wolla, your rom should now be working properly!

actually he can't even boot to the recovery in order to flash any rom
so what's the point of flashing the boot.img manually?

You can use Sensation all in one kit v3 to unlock boot loader, read this thread for more detail

after unlocking boot loader, then go to this thread to download 4EXT recovery then use kit to flash recovery, remember to download image file, not zip file

Thank you for your ideas!
But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.
@ kevinspl2000
I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...

The point is that I am not able to boot to Recovery...
I can flash the Recovery via fastboot, but I am not able to boot into it.
I tried different versions of CWMR and 4EXT but no success...
When I click on recovery, it just shows the HTC Logo and bootloop again

I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...

I think I have a solution. When I installed my custom recovery at first, I also got bootloops when trying to go into the recovery. What I did, is I refalshed the recovery, and then did fastboot erase cache. It wipes all of the cache, and fixed my bootloop before. Try that and see how we get on...

I erased the cache before and after flashing recovery.
No success ...
