You can't use Odin with a Nexus S. Reflash your recovery using fastboot.

Fastboot is much better then ODIN - If you loose access to recovery, you'd still be able to access fastboot/adb and then you can easily flash custom recovery using adb.If you have lost recovery then install pdanet on your computer.(It will also install Nexus S USB Drivers) then put your phone into fastboot mode by holding down both Volume Up and Power buttons together. When you are in fastboot mode connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.Download ADB and recovery you want to flash put it in your C:/recovery (Put adb and recovery image in this folder)
Then open cmd and type
1)CD C:/recovery
2)fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img (replace recoveryname with actual file name of the recovery image).
2nd command will flash recovery to your phone and then you'd be able to access recovery.

Wow, you learn something every day. Never heard of anyone doing that before.

Thanks

[Q] Can Not Get Into Recovery

I am unable to get into recovery of any type on my Xoom. When I try to get into recovery I get the Android with an exclamation point. I've tried factory reset; I've followed instructions for CWM recovery, etc. I just can't get past the damn Android with the exclamation point (inside a yellow triangle). Can anyone help?
BTW, there are no programs or data on the internal storage of the Xoom.
Use ADB to unlock your device again and push the recovery image again. Then try to boot into recovery.
Ok, I unlocked the Xoom and it rebooted. After the Xoom rebooted, I ran adb reboot bootloader and the Xoom went into fastboot. Now what command do I use to push the recovery image? From the platform-tools directory if tried: "adb fastboot push recovery recovery.img and nothing happened." I then tried "adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without success. Help!

Assuming your in the directory with the recovery.img as well:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(no adb, no push)
Do the following plz with this recovery image. I assume you already have android sdk installed and adb on your laptop.
To download:
• Recovery Image: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6.img
Steps:
1. Power off your XOOM device.
2. Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button at the same time. Note: Even if your xoom starts again, just keep the button pressed until you see "Starting fastboot protocol" on the screen.
3. Connect Xoom to your computer via USB.
4. Open a ‘Command Prompt’ or ‘Terminal’ window on your computer in your sdk/tools folder.
5. unlock your xoom and flash the recovery image. The recovery image should be in your current working directory where you have command line navigated to: Type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img
fastboot reboot adb reboot recovery
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed. I prefer this recovery than others. Give it a try.
Sent from my MZ601 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks, that worked and I'm back in operation with the Xoom. I really appreciate the support this forum provides.
I am happy I could help, and happier you are back to xoom operations without issues
Unlock, reboot and issue resolved!!! Cheers

Download this
cm-13.0-20160819-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0IN-bacon.zip
Extract boot.img from the zip to your windows pc.
connect your phone and copy the zip to internal memory.
I'm assuming you have TWRP on your phone as you said you flashed so many roms.
in recovery wipe > Dalvik/art cache, system., data, cache.
Flash the downloaded zip.
reboot to bootloader (Now it should be able to boot into fastboot)
connect phone to pc (make sure fastboot drivers are installed, google it if u don't know)
open command prompt and type...
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then type this...
Code:
fastboot reboot
tell me how it goes.
still can't enter bootloader, just recovery after reboot.

Honor 6x stuck in Recovery

Hey Guys,
I've tried to root my phone and while falshing the TWRP Recovery an Error occured.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.754s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.763s
So I thought I could exit the menu by typing "fastboot reboot". Now I'm stuck in in that startup window "Your device has been unlocked and can´t be trusted" and have 3 options:
(1) Press Power Key to continue.
(2) Press Vol...
(3) ...
If I press the power button its just rebooting and everything starts from beginning and if I'm trying to recover it my phone cant connect to the wifi "Getting package info failed".
HiSuite and usb debugging aren´t working.
Did I broke my Phone or is there a way to fix it?
Sorry for my bad englich ^^.
Thank you! Musark.

this is the wrong command for flashing a recovery. You should type: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
In case you still get this error then:

It's usually because your bootloader is still or again locked.

I followed the tutorial "How to Root Honor 6X [100% Working]" from CyberKey (can't post links at the moment).
Everything was fine until I wanted to boot my phone.
At least i want to use my Phone.
I rode a lot about dload but I've only found tutorials where i need access to my phone.
Could someone give me a link for a tutorial?

It's because the tutorial you followed is wrong when it comes to flashing the twrp recovery. It seems like you flashed the recovery image to the wrong partition (boot).
If you want to install a custom rom:
1. Put your phone into fastboot mode
2. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
3. Flash any custom rom
If you want to get the stock rom running again:
Way1:
1. Download the right stock recovery for your phone (marshmallow recovery if you want to flash marshmallow and nougat recovery if you want to install the nougat stock rom)
2. Put your phone into fastboot mode
3. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Download the right firmware for your phone and extract the files
5. Create the "dload" folder on your external sd card
6. Put the update.app from the extracted files into your "dload" folder
7. Power off your phone
8. Hold volume up + volume down + power button until the honor logo appears. Wait until the phone boots into stock recovery and installs the stock rom.
Way2.
1. If you know which version of stock rom you had installed, e.g. B360 you can download the same firmware version again.
2. Use huawei firmware extractor to extract recovery.img and boot.img
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Use the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Reboot your phone (fastboot reboot)
In general you can also install any rom via fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Wow Thanks, I've only 1 question. My computer isnt noticing that my phone is connected with him via usb.
How can i access my sd card without HiSuite or usb debugging? I could also put my sd card in a diffrent phone, but i think thats not the usual way.

If you have no running rom on your phone, then as far as I know only via TWRP or as you already mentioned by another phone.
My phone is working fine now thanks.

phone booting into default recovery even after flashing twrp (xiaomi redmi note 4)

whenever i try to go into recovery mode, it takes me to the default one even after i flashed twrp. my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed twrp several times. even when i use the command prompt from fastboot mode it still takes me to the default recovery. any ideas to what's wrong?

This could be a solution or a workaround:
"Hello i just had a personal experience with my Asus zenfone selfie Z00T Stock recovery kept replacing TWRP. (Boot loader already unlocked)
This is how i got around it i downloaded the latest TWRP for my device and placed directly in minimal adb and fastboot app folder then i renamed it to recovery .
then i put my device in fastboot mode using the buttons on the phone and After i ran minimal adb and fastboot app as admin then i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once done i then i typed fastboot boot recovery.img. and my phone booted to twrp recovery then i selected reboot recovery directly on my phone and to finish reboot system (still in twrp) that's it.
(OEM commands to boot from fastboot to recovery do not work on some devices )
it only worked for me eventually because i downloaded the latest TWRP from the official TWRP website.
The idea is to flash the custom recovery and then booting from the custom recovery.img that you just used to flash (the one still on the pc) using minimal adb and fastboot app.
IT may not work on all devices as the commands may change from one device to another but the idea stays the same. (example for nexus fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img)
I hope this will help some people out."
sill not booting into twrp

Try this:
when you are in fastboot mode type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will boot your phone to twrp. Install twrp .zip file (there are 2 options when installing .img or .zip)
after this go to ADB/Sideload - This is in Advanced section
Then swipe to start a sideload. Now on your pc type:
Code:
adb sideload recovery.zip
This worked for me. I hope this works for you too
