Nexus S 4G bootloader - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a nexus s 4g with the boot loader unlocked and clockworld mod installed but when I install a Rom and reboot, it goes into the bootloader I'm not sure if it is bricked or what? Help will be appreciated
Is there like an application I can run from the computer while connected USB wise like an RUU (not sure if Samsung have those) through the bootloader

yeah, i was going to say. That's not clockworkmod, that's the bootloader

Yeah I knew that but it had CWM installed but it just needed a ROM on the system

Downloading now. Can i flash from the 1.6 version or do i need to go back to stock and use the cwm3?

I'm going to just boot back into recovery from terminal and try flashing like that. I'll let you know how it goes.
I was able to flash over 1.6 with rom manager.

Something i noticed, it picks up that the phone has a flash for the camera its just the flash doesnt come on. Dont know if you knew but thought i would mention it.

Got this running, had to flash back to stock first, was running the previous release of miui.us, my phone didn't like the 3 button recovery loading and boot looped, looks like the in call audio was fixed though as I didn't have to factory reset after it installed and its working fine. Thanks for the work and for fixing the Verizon labeling, I know it was cosmetic but its nice that it says my provider.

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

Are you using linux or windows?
The command lsusb on terminal in linux should give every device connected via usb.

A few questions. You say your " Bricked " . What did you do to get the Device in this state ? Does it Boot into Recovery ? What Recovery are you using ? What Rom were you using prior to the issue ? What Kernel are you using ? Have you Updated your HTC Sync Drivers ? The reason I'm asking all these questions is that the more information you provide, the easier it is to help you.
Thanks a lot, everyone. Now I can fastboot into recovery, but I just can't flash any recovery into my phone. Now I have Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.8(really long long ago). And I can't flash any Rom either.

You need to give us more information...
So you can't boot up then? But you can get into recovery? Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? Did you flash a rom and then your phone got messed up? When you say "bricked" what do you mean by that, how serious is it?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I can get into recovery only. And I think that if I can have my phone can be detected, everything will be fine.

[Q] Need Help rooting G2X 2.3.4

i have had my phone for a couple months and have been trying to root it i look on youtube for guides but this phone seems to be the odd ball.... its running on 2.3.4 and i have tried (superoneclick) and (unlockroot) and none seem to work. I have heard there is a way to do it by (ADB)? If thats the only way and thats how you are going to tell me how to do please explain this has been really hard for me. thank you.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Ding ding we have a winner. Nvflash cwm recovery then install rom. All the roms you will find here unless it specifically says for warranty purpose are rooted. Super one click hasn't worked since froyo

ill try using super one click again. if it dosent work i guess ill have to try to nv flash it again
Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up
