see if you have free space on your phone for the error , as for the booting in to recovery :
1.remove battery
2.reinsert baterry
3.hold volume up + power
4.chose recovery (vol up/down to scroll and pover button to select)
4.wait for phone to boot in to recovery
Fastboot boot recovery name of recovery.img
If you unlocked the right way and not some lame one click crap.

Hello guys.
I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609
but forgot to wipe system data and tried to reboot before it.
Now I'm in a boot loop and don't know how to get to clockwork recovery to do the system wipe I should've done before.
Help, please!

Try holding up volume and power to restart, then on restart about 5 seconds after you see the "M" logo try hitting the up volume button and see if it drops you into recovery.

It says Starting Fastboot Protocol Support and stops there.
Problem solved...
If I let it boot normally (not fastboot), it will eventually accept "adb remount" and "adb reboot recovery", allowing me to do the last step I needed (wipe data/factory reset).
Thank you anyway.
hi all
i am trying to do a factory reset to my nexus S but i faced some problems, the phone cant be reset to factory settings. my phone is on 2.3.4 and is rooted
i had tried the following steps
1) going to Settings>Privacy>Reset phone
after i confirm to wipe everything, the phone rebooted and it will stuck at the "Google" logo (in words) with the fastboot unlock logo at the bottom. i took off the battery to shutdown the phone (anything i press at this moment does not get any response from the phone) and start it up again. once it is started (it get pass the google word logo if i do it this way) all my application and even my themes are still there
2) shutting down the phone. press volume up + power button. choose recovery
same thing happen as above. it cant get pass the google word logo and once i restart the phone by plugging out the batt, it went back to previous state without wiping anything
i search online guide and also youtube video and all of them shows that the recovery will bring you to a android with a exclamation mark (in the triangle) but i cant get to the screen. i had left my phone there for 30 minutes but it is still stuck at the google logo.
Please help

thanks for the feedback. now i am trying to flash it but i faced "adb device not found" error
ok done
managed to flash it back to an older version and everything works now

Make sure to update it eventually because you could run into issues when flashing stuff if your recovery isn't up to date.
No problem!
resolved

You can try wiping data/ factory reset. Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet
Hi! I had Android 3.1 on my TF101 and it was already rooted, I updated CWM to 6.0 and in recovery I can't mount storage, and I can't do anything...when trying to reboot it stucks at the boot logo (I think i formatted, wiped system but not sure). And when I trying to do a Factory reset, it freezes at: Formatting /data... So? Can somebody help me please? Oh, and when I trying to reboot with power, and volume down, it says something like this: Press Vol Up to enter recovery in 5 secs. If I dont press it, it brings me to a menu, like this: Press vol up to execute, ot vol down to skip wipe. I've tried both options but I think it freezes...or I didn't wait as much as it needs (10 mins about)??

Hiya have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
this should get you back to a fresh start but whay where you trying to do?
I'm guessing you used ROM Manager to install CWM.
Use EasyFlasher as noted by all43 to install a working recovery - I highly recommend TWRP. Then put your ROM on a microSD formatted for FAT32z
Boot to recovery (VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 sec, then tap VOL UP to enter RCK)
Then wipe cache, Davlik, format system and factory reset.
Install ROM and if applicable GAPPS and Kernel.
Reboot
Profit
Thanks, Easy Flasher solved my problem
Flashed stock firmware using Odin v3.12.7 (had Noble ROM before) which passed and then rebooted. Blue screen with Android guy installing apps > Same screen but this time just says "Erasing..." > Regular centered Samsung logo > Larger off centered logo
I've waited for 30 mins and nothing has happened
Tried flashing with Odin again
Cannot access recovery mode using Vol up + home + power
Can't find S/N number (press home button in download options and goes to download mode instead and don't have original box)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Force to turn recovery mode then wipe data cache and dalvik.
I wiped data cache and dalvik....that wasn't successful.
In desperation, I did a factory reset via the Samsung recovery menu...
That did the trick

"wipe data, cache and dalvik" that mean that "factory reset" But in stock recovery menu you cannnot do it separatly, there are just options from wipe cache and wipe dalvik and factory reset what mean that also will wipe data
