[Q]
Hi,
I have nexus s GRJ22 Android 2.3.4 I904. I tried rooting it using clockwork and super user but after doing that when i reboot It stays in the google logo. I could find that i was not able to mount system in the clockwork recovery with means that its not having sufficient permissions .
1. Factory reset - not working
2. Tried fixing permissions - not working
3. tried remounting - not working
what i'm possible to do is get into fastboot mode and clockwork recovery mode and in the normal booting it stays at the google logo.
with this i can say i messed up something when i was rooting. and the phone is useless now.
The last option i know now is fastboot flashing of all the images (boot, system, recovery). How to flash everything finally and bring it back to the state which I got from the factory?
I'm looking for if any one has theses images so that I can fastboot flash it and bring it back in an operating condition.
I'm new to android development, android devices and a noob.
Please do ask If you guys need any more info.
I appreciate any answers and thanks for reading my question.
First, make sure that ClockWorkMod recovery that you installed is the right version for your NS model (sorry but I don't know what the "I904" means)
After you flashed the correct recovery then I'd suggest you go to this thread and see if there is a full OTA package for your NS model. If there is one then you can download it, connect your phone to a PC, mount SD card from the recovery, copy the package over then flash it. That should bring your NS back to life.
If there is no OTA package for your model then you can search/ask for a stock nandroid backup of your phone model. It's most likely that someone has already posted it here in xda.

Thanks for the reply.
its not I904 I'm sorry its I9020 which is the model number of the phone.
I tried the link that you had posted already but it stops at getprop function in the script when i do the update and says status 7 error and the update fails because the /system is not mounting.
Kindly suggest me to bring this phone back.
Hmm, I still have the impression that you have the incorrect version of CWM. What is your service provider? As far as I remember, the I9020T and I9020A require a different version of CWM. And also what is the version of CWM installed?
If you've got the I9020T, try installing this one (from kouch's site)
But if you've got the I9020A, you should try the recovery from this guide (Part 3 - Recovery)
Sorry for the delayed response ,
I have the Tmobile carrier and its I9020T. The version of CWR is 3.0.2.4 which is running. As i said before its not monting the /system.
any other options that I have. ?
Please suggest
Thanks for your time..
I got the nandroid for GRJ22 I9020T.
I'm unable to fastboot flash boot boot.img from this ROM.
it says FAILWrite..
also tried to do the same way for system.img it says Invalid Magic Code !
thankyou suksit I recovered the ROM link that u had posted. I pushed using the adb on to the sdcard and installed from the CWR. I had tried that initially but had not worked.. but now it worked perfectly..
thanks KUDOS..

your phone was never bricked. bricked means itll never ever work again. if your planning on using it later and using it now, then bricked is definitely not the right word to use ;-)
well then its appropriate to say
"It was broken for two days"

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

On pc go to start - run- cmd. Like it says it is assumed you have fastboot working. If you don't know what that means do the rooting guides and get the Android SDK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623481

Heyy dude !! well since you said that you used to have a custom ics rom, surely you must already know how to root your phone, flash a custom recovery, and install the custom rom zip?
Because you reverted back to a stock rom, it wiped out ur custom recovery and installed the old stock one, so ur gnna have to flash a custom recovery again and use it to install a custom Jelly Bean rom, and ur good to go .. sorry if this doesnt answer ur question, or tht I have put forward an answer u already knew, let me know what u dnt understand.

Oh and just remembered back when I rooted my nexus s, I needed to install a program called PDANet, so tht it could provide my windows 7 with the correct adb drivers, in order for your computer to recognise your phone, when connected by USB and booted up on fastboot mode (make sure phone is fully off first, then hold volume up + power button)
Literally, just follow this guide, google has it all:
okay since im a new user, and not allowed to copy paste website links yet, type in google "root nexus s adb" and click the very top first link
BUT, dnt go beyond the step where it says to install superuser.zip in clockwork mod recovery (so you get to step 3 on part V. Root the Phone), instead just simply mount the phone as storage and transfer the custom rom zip u wanna flash, flash it using clockwork mod and thts all man.
Also, really stupid question, when u turn ur phone on, u see the google logo, and is there an unlocked grey padlock icon at the bottom, or just a fully black background with just the google logo by itself?

If you phone is in fact NOT rooted. type - 1 click root nexus s - into google
Rinse and repeat

I'm pretty sure you can just reflash the CWM Recovery, over the stock so root it, then download the official 4.1.1 and then you should have stock everything. Just type into google code google nexus s 4.1 and it should be the first link. If I am wrong about the flashing part, then can someone please correct me.
Hit The Thanks Button if this helped you.
u guys dont understand. I CANT ENTER RECOVERY MODE, it brings me a picture of a android with a ! mark over it And the phone doesnt boot , its just stuck on the jelly bean boot animation
i've got kinda problem when updating from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 OTA.
in order to flash succeffuly the OTA package, you must have a stock ICS rom (i was running a custom rom based on IMM76D).
i had to flash a factory image of 4.0.4 from google.
if i don't mistake, there's the 4.1.1 factory image avaible (so you should flash that).
there's a guide here on xda on how to flash a factory image, just look for it.
hope this helps

alright,
here the images and basically the steps are:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip
this is an example with the ICS image, check the file names when you do it.
almost forgot: don't get tricked by the "instruction" section of the link, it's only for linux.

hey guys, yesterdy I got a notification for android 6.0 upgrade and it was a ~100mb file for preparation so i downloaded it and charged my battery and tapped to install it, it reboots and wants to start installing but then goes to recovery menu and gives an error
the phone is all stock, no root or bl unlock or anything
I attached the error msg below:
it's m8sd not e8sd, mistyped in topic
Might be due to bad zip file! Download the update again and try!

I had a similar error as yours doing exactly the same thing but mine was a e8sw running LP5 Sense6 rooted stock with xposed.
Even when I uninstalled xposed and disabled supersu, I still could not install the upgrade.
Finally managed to get the upgrade by going all the way back to stock and allow the OTA updates all the way up the MM6 update. Took me nearly 2 days to do that.
I have taken clean twrp backups of all the stock updates and will try and post them here soon.

thank you for the information, but as I mentioned in op my phone is already all stock, I havent ever moded or rooted or anything, it's stock locked bootloader
Have the exact same issue. My device is compelitely stock. Tried flashing the recovery from the downloaded OTA but still got the sama error. Hopefully someone will be able to resolve the issue.
if you have problems in installing OTA updates, follow these steps
1. check if your CID and MID are matching each other. they should be both for same region. mine are for vietnam. mec_dugl / HTC__057
2.Flash an stock RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
3.Skip all registeration process and directly go to update menu.
4.this is a 3 stage update process: a small update for some applications/another 100 MB update for making device ready for main update!! / at last 1 GB main update . each one should be downloaded and installed separately.
5. after downloading 100MB update, DO NOT restart. coneect your phone to PC and go to download folder on phone internal memory, there should be a zip file containing updates(sadly I forgot file name), copy it on your PC and extract recovery.img from it.
6. boot your phone into bootloader and flash stock recovery you've extracted using fastboot.
7. now you have complete stock ROM. go to setting/update again and follow update process.
8.after updating you may flash twrp and supersu.
9. I don't know why, but there is a good chance that after messing with system files in MM you get stuck in several kinds of bootloops and soft-breaks. Don't worry; all you should do is going to recovery and wiping caches. sometimes you need a factory reset too. also have in mind that a complete boot after changing system files may take up to 15 minutes even without wipes.
@sam5154 well thank you for the info, Im gonna try these steps except, I will try to download again and flash recovery and try it before flashing a RUU and lose everything
but I hope it works anyway, btw mine is also vietnam region.

if you have problems in installing OTA updates, follow these steps
1. check if your CID and MID are matching each other. they should be both for same region. mine are for vietnam. mec_dugl / HTC__057
2.Flash an stock RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
3.Skip all registeration process and directly go to update menu.
4.this is a 3 stage update process: a small update for some applications/another 100 MB update for making device ready for main update!! / at last 1 GB main update . each one should be downloaded and installed separately.
5. after downloading 100MB update, DO NOT restart. coneect your phone to PC and go to download folder on phone internal memory, there should be a zip file containing updates(sadly I forgot file name), copy it on your PC and extract recovery.img from it.
6. boot your phone into bootloader and flash stock recovery you've extracted using fastboot.

Hi, thanks for this. I will try this once i got home.
But i have one questions, mine is Vietnam MEC_DUGL with stock lollipop 5.0.2. The RUU only available for stock lollipop 5.0.1. Can I use this RUU or should I look for specific RUU for lollipop 5.02?
Thanks!

If you gonaa try that, then remeber to unroot and uninstall xposed, and you can use titanium backup for restoring your apps and data of course.

Here you go :
If you want more information, use ADB (if you don't how to get it going, use the search on the forum or Google about it).
While you phone is connected to your PC, type adb reboot bootloader and wait for your phone to reboot into bootloader mode. Once there, you can perform fastboot commands like getvar. Type fastboot getvar all and you will see all the information about the phone, including the product variable which lists the model you have.

Thank you for the info
btw I did go through the steps of downloading the 110mb update and flashing its recovery before pressing install and that didnt work and still gives OP error
so I guess I have to use RUU but not gonna do that for a while and also Im not so sure it'll work because the phone is already factory stock!

Yes bos, i also did the recovery trick but still cant make it work. So the only solution we havent try is to flash RUU which i doubt also will make it work since my phone also factory stock. So i guess will stay in 5.0.2 for a while.

Hi, I have managed to finally update my Vietnam HTC One E8 dual SIM (MEC_DUGL) to Android 6.0. The problem that cause the error is the error recovery file, hence I re-install the RUU to get the correct recovery.img file. Below are the steps :
Note : Try with your own risk
1. My device is currently stock 5.0.2 no root and locked. Before starting the update process please make sure to backup all of your important data. Im using the stock HTC backup software, when you restore your device after you finished your update process, it will re-install your currently installed apps , contacts, settings, etc.
2. Download RUU for your device here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
I downloaded :
[Vietnam][DUAL][M8sd][mec_dugl][CID HTC__059][OPAJ20000] :
[Lollipop 5.0.1][2.35.425.2] : LINK
Seems not match with my current software (5.0.2), but eventually it will do the magic.
3. Flash RUU. NOTE : You will lose all of your data in your internal phone memory. Make sure to backup all of your important files.
Steps:
1) Download RUU.
2) Rename RUU to 0PAJIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)
3) Put renamed 0PAJIMG.zip on your external_SD
4) Boot into your bootloader and make sure your in hboot and let it update its RUU.
5) No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed RUU file to external_sd
6) After you have updated your RUU, make sure to remove the 0PAJIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your RUU everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once (unless you are planning on flashing RUU again).
7) Done!
Source : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
4. Reboot your phone, now your phone is back to factory stock, connect it to wifi, no need to set up any account, just go directly to software update from Settings > About > Software Updates. Just install all the available software updates (5.0.2 > 6.0 part 1 > 6.0 part 2).
5. BOOM! Your HTC One E8 now runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
6. Restore your phone from the stock HTC Backup Software.
7. Done
Hi guys,
My phone now is on LeeDroid custom ROM (Build 1.03.401.6.9_g CL923215)
What are the steps to return the htc u11 to stock please?
The original software number of my phone is: 1.11.400.4
EDIT: I went to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72425224&postcount=5
& downloaded stock recovery & nandroid TWRP backup (for 1.11.400.4).
However, I couldnt flash that nandroid TWRP from TWRP recovery.
Long story short, I just got the phone today, I made a big mistake by not inserting the simcard in & testing to see if the phone working or not.
So, I went straight through the process of unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP, Rooting, Installing custom ROM without making a nandroid backup.
For all that, the phone did not recognize the sim cards (tried both my sim & my gf's sim. not working)
The store will take back the phone as long as I return it to stock.
Thanks for your help!!!

Restore the TWRP backup, check everything is working, then flash stock recovery if you need to. The stock Nandroid should include recovery asfaik. I'm more of a trial and error guy lol. Read guide pages to know for certain, check HTC 10 guides, same steps.

Get the one from here and follow instructions. That's what the thread is for. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048. Sorry i don't have time to do the leg work for you (i'm out atm), but it's all there.
download this Official RRU firmware and install it https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/unlocked-htc-u11-software-update-6-19-t3624814
Use the ruu, you might need the HTC drivers but in the future never not make a backup, 15 mins could save u a major headache

Your going to need a full signed RUU zip matching your original firmware and CID buddy.
Based on your original build number its an Indian dual SIM device so here is the ruu:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634780026
1. Rename it to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. Lock your bootloader
3. Drop the zip on your external SD card.
3. Boot to download mode, at that point you will be prompted to flash... Accept... Profit.
If you don't have an external SD.
1. Lock your bootloader.
2. Boot to download mode.
3. Open a cmd window and run the below commands.
fastboot orm rebootRUU (hit enter)
fastboot flash zip (drag the zip into the cmd window then hit enter)

On the PC side, what was the exact error message?
you can ignore the warning from the phone side.
I had a similar issue the other day, but then I was able to run the RUU upgrade to rest my phone back to stock as I had to ship it back for a refund, to get the new Red ones
When I ran the RUU thing it wouldn't detect the phone, did a few things, and then it was finally able to detect the phone.
and when it started updating the Boot image it hung for a long while, I had to restart the phone back into download mode, then run the RUU again, and it was able to continue from there.
