I can boot with volume up and get to the recovery screen. I am combing threads and doing all I can now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Downloading the SDK on slow work internet now and attempting to get all files I think I might need as we speak.
give members more details [what did u flash etc], so they can help u.
No, if you have recovery mode available nothing is lost.
Just download a ROM you like, and try flashing it. If it doesn't work, try formatting and then flashing again.
I flashed one click stock and I saw that SYSTEM failed while it was running. Now I get no boot but I can get to the stock recovery.
How do I get a rom onto the phone in its current state?
when I boot with the vol up / power combination I get a small menu for reboot bootloader, reboot, recovery or power off. If I select recovery I get the triangle icon with the ! and then after a minute or so I can get to what looks like a very small clockwork menu with: reboot system now, apply update from /sdcard, wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition. I have tried to apply a rom I had on in the list but it failed verification and the list is only partital it does not let me go all the way down.
In recovery you can still use adb to transfer files to the device.
Code:
adb push update.zip /sdcard
I am having trouble getting adb to work. I am following these instructions but something seems to be wonky?

can you point me in a better direction to get adb access
I just noticed at the bottom of my screen in slightly greyed out copy it reads: FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILINVALID COMMAND

That small menu as you called it is fastboot.
That recovery is stock recovery.
Connect to phone to computer and use fastboot to flash a custom recovery. Boot into said recovery. Mount usb storage. Transfer rom over to phone. factory reset/format system and flash new rom.
If you don't know how set up and use fastboot. Look it up.
I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed but whenever I try to flash a rom I get the error message " E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
Any thoughts?

Do a full wipe, re-download the rom ( make sure its the correct rom for your device) and try again.
If it still fails. Flash the official stock images and make sure that at least works
I am fully wiped but I am going through the process again just to be sure, all I have on the device right now is TWRP its unlocked and boots into TWRP recovery fine. But everytime I flash, I have tried 3 roms and one was the NS4G_IMM76d_deodexed it hits me with the same error as before: e:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
I am searching frantically for a fix, any help is appreciated.

Download the following files:
7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/sojus-imm76d-factory-10660f4c.tgz
http://android.kcomputerzone.com/stock/sojus-imm76d-factory_windows-scripts.zip
http://android.kcomputerzone.com/extras/crespo-drivers.zip (just in case you need them)
Install 7-Zip
Extract sojus-imm76d from sojus-imm76d-factory-10660f4c.tgz (You will need to go in multiple levels deep to get to folder) to your desktop.
Extract contents of sojus-imm76d-factory_windows-scripts.zip to the sojus-imm76d on your the desktop.
With phone in bootloader mode run flash-all.cmd in the sojus-imm76d folder.
If all worked it should be boot and be working.
That should restore yours to default firmware all using fastboot. Hope this helps.
This site (http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/) got me up and running with TWRP then I been having issues flashing roms, I am able to get a Peter Alfonso stock rom to boot but then if I try to flash I get the same error. I was able to ODIN the stock 4.0.4 but nothing seems willing to flash via clockwork or TWRP.
Ok just to bring some closure to this, thanks for all the help. My problem with the status 7 error was that I was using the wrong clockwork recovery. It was bundled in a one click root for Nexus Galaxy and Nexus S, the Root worked great but the recovery was the incorrect version. In any event I am now 100% functional. Thanks to all that helped out.

That is the problem with One click root/unroot. I know the simplicity is awesome but the end user is learning nothing. Doing it the ol' fashion way teaches the user how to use SDK, ADB, and other important simple things. I always say use the guide and do it yourself. Problems happen and instead of having to start a new thread you can trouble shoot it yourself. :good:

Ok, I cant install any update.zip files or NAND stuff to go back to stock. Everytime I try, it says E: signature failure and aborted. Ive wiped all my data and everything too.
Here is the screen info.
Android System Recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard << cant install anything using this.
wipe data/factory
wipe cache partition
So everytime I try to install something it says E: signature verification failed.
I run a WIND Nexus S, with a the ICS 4.0.3, which really ate up my memory and started lagging like turtle after an hour or 2. SO I wanna go back to stock and install another version that hopefully rus better and smoother. Please help
Do you have cwm 5.0.2.x or greater?
No, I think Im 3.xx something. BUt Ive tried updating thru rom manager and it says I dont have the privileges. I have superuser installed o I dont know why its not letting me. Do I have to manually apply the 5.8.0 touch update???
I assume you have an unlocked bootloader, so use fastboot to upgrade to v5 or greater. You don't need the touch if you don't want it, you can just use 5.0.2.0 if you prefer.
Recap of command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can get the latest superuser .zip file from here. You can probably flash that through the older recovery if you're unsure how to use fastboot.
Thanks for the replies Harbb. SO I did fastboot flash recover to the new 5.0.2.0.. but nothing happened. The cmd did say recovery sent in 1.7 secs. But when I reboot nothing changed. Its still the same recovery at 3e and I still cant install updates cuz of the e: signature verification failure.
EDIT: I just got it to work. Thank for the help Harbb, extremely appreciated.
Good to know you got it sorted
I have been struggling with getting my Motorola Atrix 2 rooted. I finally got it rooted and tried to install a custom ROM. I started with installing CWM and flashing this CM10 port: (wangs) http://www.androidlawn.com/motorola-atrix-2-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-1/
I found this to be buggy so I kept looking and I found this: altCyanogenMod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275529
I installed it according to the instruction in that thread and now my phone just hangs on the CM boot screen.
I am able to get in to bootloader via adb.
When i use adb to reboot in to recovery I get the android with the Red triangle "!". If I hold both volume up and down I can get in to "Android System Recovery <3e> Android system recovery utility" from this menu I am able to
reboot the phone
flash a zip from the sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
apply update from cache
These are the only options. When I try to flash a NEW ROM in the flash zip option it fails, saying "E:signature verification failed" then it aborts. I have tried this with 2 different ROMs
I don't know what else to try.
I think this happened because I might be an idiot and installed the altCM on the wrong kernel.
Please help this fool fix his phone! Thank you!
bump-I don't mean to pester. I only bump this because I posted in the middle of the night and this post got quickly buried.
Please help.
Thank you
Hey guys, flashed this camera mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061
and am now stuck in a boot loop. my huge mistake was i didn't make a backup on CWN when i installed it, since i'm a massive noob.
I'd post this in the thread for the mod, but new accts can't post in developer forum (to prevent threads like these, probably).
anyone know a quick solution to this? i've dalvik wiped, factory resetted, wiped cache partition.
edit: i also don't know how to get the stock camera ROM back on the device since it doesn't show up in my windows explorer. if i knew that, it'd be easy to go back to stock.

If you can get back to the boot loader (hold down power button and volume down) and recovery (choice in bootloader menu), you are fine. I did the same thing. you can adb push the stock file (in his developer thread) and then flash it with custom recovery.
Here is a link showing how to adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
If that doesn't work, you can always flash back stock...... Unfortunately have had to do this more than once and have learned my lesson on backups.

Hope that helps.

I guess you gotta learn this stuff at some point, thanks for your help! i forgot that you could push files!
now a brand new issue is that anytime i flash ANYTHING to the phone, adb doesn't see the device anymore.
anyone know what's up with that?
URGENT
I did the camera mod too and happened to kill my phone trying to get a camera back on it. It boot loops bc now there is no os. Tried installing Cm-12.1 on my N910P and its now getting a "Error updating binary zip" on TWRP. I have no idea what to do. I have wiped the phone several times. Tried using odin and it failed when the phone was up and running, now it still fails any rom. Please help. I have pushed thru adb, odin, im out of options on my end. no backup either. Looking for a stock twrp recovery file for any note4 dont care anymore

New nightlies of CM12.1 needs the bootloader to be updated to newer version (HHZ12H).
Following the link to flashable zip of new bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613145 (Credit to @mo976)
Flash it in recovery
Wipe the cache
Reboot into bootloader and select recovery.
Flash CM12.1 rom.
I just tried what you recommended . Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I'm still getting "error updating binary zip" when trying to load anything on twrp
Actually it might be a little more complicated...
Full story: I was trying to flash cyanogenmod so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed cwm and SuperSU. Until this point everything worked just fine. I copied the CM-zip to the root of my phone. When trying to install CM however I got an error saying "Some changes failed" (Status 7), basically this. Also I started having trouble booting the system normally. The phone would either get stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen or just boot into recovery. I had done a backup at some point (not prior to starting to try to flash CM, I didn't really think I'd need one since the phone was brand new and I didn't there was any data on it I'd miss... yeah, well...) and sometimes restoring it would enable me to boot normally. However, after the factory reset before my nth attempt to install CM, that was gone as well. After doing a bit of research I found this thread. Since I had version 6.0.13 of cwm as well, I flashed twrp v2.7.1.2 instead. The interface is a little friendlier, but other than that there have been no changes.
Now I can't boot the system normally, not even by selecting "System" when rebooting it from recovery, it will just keep booting into recovery. I can still fastboot, though. My CM-zip is gone since that infamous factory reset and I can't get it back on the phone, or anything else for that matter, since my pc only detects the phone when it's booted normally. I tried pushing CM with adb but when I try to mount any partition I get an error saying E: Unable to find storage partition to mount to USB.
Any ideas how I could fix this mess? Or suggestions on how to avoid ****ing it up any further...
If you can adb, you can adb push... You are just adb push'ing to the wrong place I suppose.
Code:
adb push blah.zip /sdcard/
Should work...
Or even better, just sideload (put phone in recovery & 'sideload mode' before running):
Code:
adb sideload blah.zip
Either way, CWM for our device is ancient and does not support the latest ROM's. The version of TWRP should work fine, as should the latest OpenRecovery (2.09 IIRC).
Sideload worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Ok just noticed this can't tell if it's an m preview 2 problem or just my device. When I go into stock recovery and hit apply update from sd card I get
Supported API: 3
E: unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
-- Couldn't mount /sdcard.
Installation aborted.
it fails to mount /sdcard(check picture). Tried with TWRP and have full access to /sdcard. Tried reflashing this stock one keeps happening. Phone still works perfect tried fixing permissions any ideas?
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I got my Nexus 5X stuck in a boot loop when I try troubleshooting it, I get the same error you got (also using TWRP).
Reflashing with the stock ROM didn't help either.
Try flashing userdata.img from the stock image. Right after flashing the img file, use the buttons to boot into stock recovery, and perform a factory wipe.

Thanks for the reply. I gave it another shot and I found that the basic procedure of flash the proper files was enough. What was missing was the vendor.img, which most of the guides forget to mention or associate with Nexus 9, for example.
Glad you got it sorted out:good:
