So, I'm in a bad spot with my Nexus S 4g. I had CWR installed on it and flashed a new rom yesterday to try it out, I had been running Deck's rom. I don't remember what the name of the rom was I flashed yesterday, but I didn't care for it so I was going to flash MIUI this morning. When i went to boot into recovery it brought me to the fastboot screen and said no boot or recovery img. From there I rebooted back to the rom I have loaded and tried to search around on the interwebs a little. I went into ROM Manager and tried to reflash the recovery, but that didn't work as upon reboot it did the same thing in returning to fastboot everytime. I did some more searching and I found info on an app called flash image that's in the app store that will flash kernels and recovery's. So I dl'd it and tried to reflash clockwork recovery from there. It gave me an error about not enough free space on the device. I went back to ROM Manager and set it to erase the current recovery before it flashed the new one in hopes that it would resolve the issue. So I reflashed the recovery again and went to boot to recovery. Now I can't get past the bootloader/fastboot screen at all. It won't boot to android, it won't boot to recovery. My pc won't recognize the phone to allow me to install the drivers for adb...I'm at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do next.
Thanks in advance...
Did you try to flash recovery through the computer from the cmd window, Because ROM manager doesn't flash recovery properly sometimes.
I sent my transformer in to Asus because the screen did not turn on anymore. I just received it back and am having an assortment of issues:
1. If I boot it up normally, it books straight into clockworkmod recovery. The only way to boot into the normal system is to go into Asus recovery and cancel wiping data.
2. If I try to flash a new rom in recovery, it just resets the aokp rom that I currently have on there. I also tried flashing new recoveries from Rom Manager, and it says they were successfully flashed, but it is always the same recovery when it restarts.
I have tried fixing permissions, doing a wipe in Asus recovery, doing a complete wipe in CWM recovery, putting the update.zip on the root of the SD card (it doesn't detect it)...I am really at a loss here. The tablet is definitely rooted and I confirmed busybox was installed. Any ideas?
if you can NVFlash something. And try using gnufabio's recovery installer instead of rom manager

Good call, I am going to try the NVFlash method.
Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
This is what I get for trying to do this before I need to get some sleep. I s-off'd my M8 just a few minutes ago, and installed TWRP. Now I can't get out of twrp. If I reboot it reboots right into twrp. So I tried flashing CWM in fastboot mode, and it still boots into TWRP. However if I go into twrp and select reboot into recovery, it reboots into CWM. So if I go into CWM and select reboot system, it goes to TWRP. Somehow I have two recoveries on here. I'm really tired and would love to get some sleep.
Never mind, just installed a new rom.
Ok, so I have an MZ601. Flashed with R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux and omni-4.4.2-20140321-1754+0100-everest-HOMEMADE (updated with latest omni versions as they became available).
Everything been working fine until two days ago, when Xoom froze. It had happened before a couple of times and a reboot had solved the problem. Did that, and this time it got stuck in a bootloop, only getting as far as the Omni splash screen before rebooting. Few reboots later, nothing improving, and then it didn’t get past the Motorola M splash screen.
Tried booting into recovery, frozen at teamwin splashscreen. Nothing was working. Rebooted few time, same thing. Connected to power, charged til green, left for extra 30 minutes, tried again, same problem. Switched off. Came back to it today and....
All of the following done via Fastboot:
Tried flashing non bigpart TWRP (R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3), still stuck at teamwin splash screen. Flashed Clockwork recovery, booted into recovery fine, but couldn’t see memory card. Flashed Clockwork recovery touch version, same problem. Flashed back to TWRP non bigpart, and it booted into recovery fine, sdcard mounted fine, seeing all files. Excellent. Decided to reflash bigpart version, used reboot option in TWRP, it tells me there is NO OS INSTALLED.
Ok, that’s a bit odd. Must be corrupted or something, but might explain the original freeze and bootloop and then not even getting to Omni splash screen. Swiped to reboot. Flashed bigpart version of TWRP. Rebooted into recovery. Back to original problem, stuck at teamwin splash screen. Left it for 10 minutes just to be sure. No joy.
Tried retracing steps, flashing Clockwork recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen. WTF? Try flashing Rogue recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen.
Kinda confused. It’s like it’s telling me it’s successfully flashed but it hasn’t actually done anything. Power everything down, disconnect everything. Start again. Flash Clockwork recovery, reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Flash TWRP, non bigpart, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Reboot. Flash TWRP bigpart. Reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks.
Walk away in disgust so as not to throw something at Xoom.
Ok, TL-DR recap.
Worked fine for months
Two days ago, froze on Omnirom logo, got stuck in bootloop
After few reboots didn’t even make it to Omnirom logo, stuck on M screen
Flashed TWRP recovery, non bigpart, stuck at teamwin splash screen
Flashed Clockwork recovery, got into recovery, no SDcard
Flashed Clockwork recovery, touch version, same problem
Flashed TWRP non bigpart, got into recovery, could see SDcard and files, rebooted from within recovery to flash bigpart version, tells me NO OS installed
Reboot
Now, regardless of which recovery I flash it goes straight to teamwin splash screen and stays there.
Help
Bump
Come on guys, 100 plus views and no replies? Surely somebody has an idea?
At the bottom of your tldr
Flashed twrp.. booted into recovery flashed bigpart twrp then says no OS.
It will say no OS cause bigpart would have wiped everything to resize the partition.
I've updated my TWRP to support bigpart and a few other things. Grab it from the pined thread by myself flash it and wipe everything but sdcard.
THen from the terminal in twrp type
df
Ensure the system is around a gig if so then you have repartitioned your /system
Then flash your bigpart Rom and gapps should be good to go from there

Cheers for the reply, but I'd already had it flashed and running fine for about three months, as I said in my first line:

Actually, reading that back, it may not have been clear enough that I meant I'd been running it that way for a while.
Oh, also in the TLR, I meant I rebooted so that I could flash TWRP bigpart from ADB/FASTBOOT, not that I flashed it from within TWRP (which is what I should have done since it turned out to be the one and only time I managed to get past the splash screen). It told me there was no OS installed after I flashed the non bigpart version of TWRP and before I rebooted from within the recovery.
My point is I can't get past the splashscreen, no matter what I do, so I can't use any of the recovery / flash options in TWRP. I also can't flash any other recoveries using ADB or FASTBOOT because no matter what I flash it still stays stuck on the TWRP splashscreen when I reboot into recovery, whether I use FASTBOOT REBOOT or reboot using the volume rocker.
