Bad download? Did you check it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

it seemed to save in my GS2 ROMs folder on my desktop just fine..:/
how would I be able to check and see if the download was bad or not?..

maybe the source gave you a md5 checksum. go and check if this numbers are the same as the ones of your downloaded one...
btw this is always a good thing to do for preventing bricks... (especially when flashing radios ...)

i am on osx and i use the terminal: md5 filename.ext
on windows you can use tools like fastsum dot com. just google for it

yea when it was flashing I spotted a line that appear with that checksum phrase in it....
EDIT: I ran a checksum on it but Im still not clear on whether the download was bad or not..:/

ok, and was it the same as the source said it should be?
again, best advise is to compare the md5 sums before flashing anything on your device. sometimes you get errors while downloading files from the internet. so you can be safe that your downloaded files are not corrupt.
so you are hanging before you can access CWM or after flashing and first bootup?

after flashing on the first bootup...it just stalls right there..but then i restore, flash Blazer again, and everything works fine
Edit: does the fact that this was based on EK02 make it non compatible with my EL29?

ok... tried redownloading it?
really did a full wipe and cleared dalvik?
maybe you find the answer in the roms original thread?

You're not installing the right ROM for your phone maybe? You need to install NS4G roms, not NS roms.

Since you have already tried other ROMs too, I guess that Its probably due to wrong Radio.
What is your phone model mentioned under the battery?
Secondly, boot into bootloader mode by pressing volume up and power button, and tell me the Radio version too.

what do you mean by Radio ?
its a SPH-D720
idk which one it is but heres everything sorry
PRODUCT NAME - HERRING
HW VERSION - REV 34
BOOTLOADER VERSION - D720SPRLFC1
BASEBRAND VERSION - D720SPRLF2

Are you sure that the roms you're trying are for the Nexus S 4G and came from its specific development section? As the previous person mentioned this would be pretty typical if you're installing a wrong rom.

Download factory image "sojus" for your Nexus S 4G (d720)
When you extract the downloaded file, you will see some files. Take out the files starting with "radio".
Once you have that file, comment out here or drop me a PM, I will guide you further :good:

i have a stright talk cdma-v, need to flash modem.img

i think i delete my straight talk modem.img with the verzion one. some upload the modem.img file but don't know how to flash it.
my radio doesn't work i restore my backup but the radio still don't work. how do i flash the modem.img from one of the earlier posts

Thanks, I was about to just give kies a try but if it doesn't work I guess I'll just try that. I honestly don't know how I missed that, and I suppose the only thing that Odin package doesn't include is a firmware or something to do with the modem. WiFi works, just absolutely no cell. -120dbm, and no/unknown network.
I have a feeling the problem was caused by flashing a cm11 build for the d2vzw, instead of what I believe now to be the correct model build, the d2lte. No idea why, this is CDMA-V.
-----------------
Ok, went ahead and flashed the unbrick.img to the specified location in post 15, rebooted, and still says unknown network with -120 dBm and no signal. But I don't know if I'd be able to tell if it worked because the phone just had it's service transferred to another phone.

Anyone having the same problem, just flash the unbrick.img and Odin flash the stock ROM posted a few pages back. That should fix modem problems with a SCH-S968C from flashing the incorrect model's custom roms.

When you say radio... Do you mean your 3g?... Go into your data settings and change your CDMA subscription settings to NIV, and change your network mode to late/CDMA/evdo....then reboot your device....that worked for me.

i get no cell service and no internet service. i installed cm-10.2.1-d2vzw.zip in cwr mode then lost cell service, i restored my cwr backup but still no cell service, then i flashed back to the stock image that is in this thread, then i put my backup back on but no cell service. it doesn't connect to the towers.
do i need to put cm-10.2.1-d2vzw.zip on my phone to change the cell setting the stock straight talk doesn't have those settings.
i am using this as my recovery image recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-d2vzw.tar

i flash the cm-10.2.1-d2vzw with CWR for more network options and selected the NV setting reboot phone and got my txts and can make calls. i think every thing is working but camera but i saw the fix in this thread how do i make a backup, that also backs up the modem. and i wasn't able to connect with the stock firmware ?? but it doesn't have network cell settings. is it a nandroid back i need to do

My phone is now stuck on the boot screen showing the message RECOVER IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Please can someone help me unbrick this thing, using the simplest language possible, thanks so much in advance

Hi, I got the same error a couple of days ago when I bricked my phone and it was because of the ROM I downloaded. If you tried to flash a 5.0.2 ROM you'll get that error, flash a 5.1.1 instead and it should go fine

Just download the stock ROM, but make sure its running the version 5.1.1 and NOT the version 5.0.2.
Then just flash that ROM through odin and it should be fine.
Here's the website I got my ROM off, took a while to download though... http://forum.youmobile.org/downloads/?cat=42;PHPSESSID=0fa1c4db175a41a315299d62e08997d8
Also, how did you try to root? Just curious

Auto reboot and F reset time... Are you loading the ROM into 'AP' in Odin? And what version are you using? I used odin 3.10.6

Flash twrp and install a custom rom.i screwed mine like you, I don't think you'll be able to flash stock back. So just get a rom

It's not called a rom. It's called stock firmware. Don't get him confused.

Technically everything you flash wether it is over Odin or recovery is called a rom. Only the Stock ones provided by the manufacturer are called firmware. You could also say custom firmware for custom roms.
But no confusion here

Alright everyone, after trying to flash the stock ROM a few times it just suddenly decided to work! Thanks so much for all of your help!

Yup it's EXACTLY the same, only unikernel will only take a minute to do compared to a full ROM Here's the link to the one I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347784025

I probably should've checked before trying, but is this for the latest Feb update? It's bootlooping on my Metro Stylo 2 Plus. The download links work though.
Any chance you could make a full zip of the Tmobile Stylo 2 Plus? I am trying to "convert" the Metro one into a Tmobile one so I can use a Tmobile sim in it. Thanks.

Just starting with basics. did you wipe system by any chance?
and is your boot.img unsecure? If not download the Unsecure boot and flash via fastboot or flashing app like flashify apk.
Try restoring your odex stock first and make sure you install this per the op directions only. Let me know if you got it.
Thanks..
If you want a t-mobile rom you must flash any k550 .dz file using the LG UP tool. Even if you do your t-mobile or any other sim card will not work unless your phone is network unlocked.. Meaning you paid for an unlock service or the phone has at least 90 days worth of active service.

so this one doesn't need gapps as posted previously?

You are correct. No Gapps needed on this Final build.
I made it this way to keep native video calling.
Flashing the entire stock Gapps package replaces the stock dialer app.

Thanks. Donation this week for you. Payday few days away.

When I tested the procedure, that will happen because you have to wipe data and format. Put the zips on your sd_card and flash from there. Ext_sdcard is preferred that's all.. Just don't wipe System ,Internal storage and External.

Ok Thanks. So far running smooth.

Hey, thanks for the response. I tried it several times, restoring my backup after each bootloop. I know your zip only has the four folders you said to delete (and then you flash them back from the zip).
Anyway, I tried flashing a dz file, but it did not work and I got to the miniOS scray looking thing. Luckily I was able to flash twrp back and restored my backup once again.
I am gonna keep trying to put the Tmobile rom on there though because I had the first Stylo and it was locked to Metro, but once I converted to the Tmobile rom, it worked fine. Hopefully that is still the case.
But yeah, thanks for providing the files.
P.S. I think my Stylo Plus 2 is still on the original rom from August, cause I just got it yesterday and didn't update before I rooted.

I have a metro phone. flashed this and works fine.

Your bootloader OEM unlock in developer options must be checked and of course you already unlocked your bootloader via fastboot command..Fastboot OEM unlock..
Make sure you have a permissive boot.img. I posted a boot in the op if needed.... Just some food for thought.
