After going through the NV flash process and getting to the last step that says
Keep holding them, as soon as you see "ANDROID" in Green with the new boot logo let go of the buttons.
From there it goes into boot recovery. I then choose from one of the roms I have on my SD card, it loads okay but then when I try to reboot it hangs up on the LG logo again
What am I doing wrong
we def need more info then that like what recovery how did u install the rom did u wipe data then cache then dalvik? then install rom and gapps? did u install any kernels previously? and this is probably going to get moved it should be in general
ok when u go into recovery do u wipe data factory reset, then cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik then install rom and gapps and it should boot up fine, did u make a backup of ur stock rom first?

Damn. for one month on XDA you sure do have a lot of posts
On topic: I'm assuming you forgot to fully wipe before flashing the new rom.
If you can get into recovery, it's not bricked.
Read the install directions, you missed a step or got a bad download.. Or a bad build, as they are nightlys...
In recovery, do factory reset, then mounts and storage, select format system. Then install the rom.
Also, get the stock nandroid and put it on your card so you can drop to a known good setup.
I had back it up using rom manager but its on another computer. I took had gotten a SD card with more storage and never transferred it.

You could copy the backup from your computer and make a folder called clockworkmod/backup/ on your new SD and put the backup file in that folder. When you go into recovery, backup and restore. restore - it should be visible. Select it and you should be OK - IF your backup is good.
If not, download a ROM and Gapps with your computer and put them in the root of your SD. Then after a full wipe, flash them.
If you have the latest Recovery, you can mount storage and then cut and past to your device while connected. If not, or if you have any problems moving them, just take it out and do it while it is plugged in your computer.
You have several options - so one of them will work.
Want to thank all you guys. I got it working again.

Hey!
First let me say that I know all about flashing SGS and SGS2. Im a proud owner of SGS1 from day 1.
Last week I decided to finally flash my brothers i9023 so I flashed stock 4.0.3 with stock recovery. Then we wanted to flash some XDA stuff and I don't understand these guides...
I found one guide where you get superuser access with one click and usb cable, I did that, then I flashed CWM through Rom manager and flashed 4.0.4 from evilisto (v1.1) and it worked. Now I'm trying to flash some others, like nuhetri reloaded or pixel rom and I'm always getting stuck at boot animation. It just keeps "working" and nothing happens for 5+ minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Best Regards
Luka
(in general)in recovery wipe data factory reset, format cache, davlik cache, system, boot. then flash new rom.
with nuhetri i think there is a bug where your not supposed to wipe data coming from another rom only davlik cache and cache then flash nuhetri

I did all that before... Im going to redownload, maybe its corrupted but I doubt it. Is it maybe because I have locked bootloader or something? Beacause I didnt use that long guide with "android SDK" in General, but some other very quick guide. Just plug USB, enable debugging and run some script and thats it.

do yourself a favor, do it the right way the first time and save yourself headaches in the future. its not hard. fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), flash a custom recovery, flash a custom rom(and gapps) via the recovery, then boot up. thats it.
If you are more of a visual type of guy I suggest going on YouTube and search "zedomax". He has some really simple videos on how to root your nexus s, he has a couple videos on how to root but make sure its for a GSM nexus.
Simms got all in a simply way.
Unlock boot loader
Install or flash cwm
install the new stuff from SD card
reboot
Can anyone tell me or please provide a link to what unlocking bootloader does please.
Best Regards
Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty new to this and I might not be of any help at all... but is it even possible to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S?
I followed the instructions found on the NexusShacks.com website (How to root Nexus S or Nexus S 4G on ICS or Gingerbread) without any issues at all (sorry, can't post links due to low postcount :/)
No problems for me, I had zero experience with this sort of stuff but I have flashed a new ROM a every few days now without any issues whatsoever.

I recently rooted my T-Mobile G2x and was wondering how to flash a Rom without the use of my computer unless 100% necessary, i have titanium backup and Rom manager, i tried flashing one directly from there but it got stuck in recovery. I took out the battery and everything is normal, what i think the problem is, is my SD card its a 4GB but it only has about 300MD left. Can anyone help?
-Thanks so much

You need to Nvflash ClockworldMod recovery on your phone. Then when you have it. You put a ROM which you want to try on your SD card or internal memory as you don't have much space in your SD card.
Clear Factory/Data
Cache
DAlvik Cache
format system
Flash your new Rom
Flash Gapps (google apps)
Enjoy.
does anyone have the link for the gapps? i go to http://goo.im/gapps/ but i cant download then for some reason
Could search Google, can't really give you a link without knowing what version of android you're flashing

Question - Haven't found a clear answer
I'm new to flashing and because of this, I'm constantly flashing Roms over the past couple weeks messing around.
I've determined Viper to be my daily driver so far, but I'd really like to be able to just flash a backup on rather than reinstalling everything and reconfiguring it the way I like.
1) If I do a backup with Clockwordmod on my current system, then say, Flash Baked on my phone, do I need to flash the boot.img back on the phone from Viper (I use Flash GUI) before I flash the Nandroid of Viper back on my phone? Or does the backup (nandroid) do this?
2) If I format my SD Card parition, will I lose anything like my CWM installation? (or the ability to flash)
Sorry guys, this would help me a lot.
Thanks

For a start dump CWM and get TWRP. Any backup you do will need you flash the boot.img that goes with it and ya do it the way you said. No need format the sd card.

Question 1 is answered and is what I thought but wanted to be sure!
Question 2:
Just to be more clear, I bought the phone 2nd handed (it was mint) but the SD portion is full of folders, pics, etc that the previous owner had. Rather than going through everything and deleting, I was wondering if simply formating the SD partition would hurt anything or cause anything to be reinstalled for flashing?
I've had 0 problems with CWM with flashing 8-9 Roms so far. Is there any particular reason for switching?
Thanks for the reply, Learning lots of good info.

Flashing is fine but you can't mount sd as mass storage and have you ever tried turning your phone off? The way I clean the sd is to do it before flashing a new rom and I don't format it but just delete everything there.

I've got it figured out.
Since you brought the topic up, one last question.
I got CWM installed before coming to XDA and have noticed most recommend TWRP here.
Is it simply because its touch based? Or is there anything in particular that it does better? I've had no issues at all with CWM and don't mind using the volume rocker/power button.

Its got bugs like not being able to turn your phone off and if you mess up somewhere it will bootloop to the recovery and can mount sd as mass storage. Ya it does have touch but you can get touch version of CMW too.

Hey, I use a GT-n8010 tablet, and I wanted to flash the HyperDrive ROM. So I went ahead, and did all the necessary things only to find that AROMA installer froze every single time, trust me when I say I tried over 10 times. So then I tried to mount my internal SD to try out another ROM, only to find that CWM doesn't mount my internal SD to my PC. Then, I tried copying it over to an external SD and then chucking it into my tablet, but CWM is not able to read my external SD card. I had wiped all my data and cache and dalvik cache. But then accidentally, I formatted my internal SD as well, so I don't have the ROM file on it.
Now, I tried to flash TWRP using download mode, but then it says USB debugging has not been enabled. I'm not able to go back to my stock ROM since I wiped all my data, I'm not able to flash back my nandroid since it's in my computer and I can't transfer it over to my tablet. I can't flash a new ROM since none of the SD cards are mountable.
Some help would greatly be appreciated! Please help out a noob here, I don't have any idea as to what I should do next.
Thank you so much
No one? Someone please help me out! I'm completely lost!
Rules say dont bump.
Suggest you flash a stock rom via Odin and get your phone working .

I did do that, but for some reason, it's stuck in the Samsung logo. And I tried resetting from stock recovery, but still got the same result.
I think you should flash stock with odin or flash a different recovery. I think it is called high on android.
