[HELP] Nexus S can't boot recovery

Hi all,
Been given a Nexus S i9023 by my brother who has been "tampering" with it and now it seems a bit messed up.
When booting up - it gets stuck on the "Google" screen with a padlock on it... I can get into fastboot and I can flash recovery but when I attempt to load any recovery - I get that same Google screen with the padlock! I've downloaded a stock rom and even flashed system etc via fastboot but that still gets me nowhere past the damn padlock!!
I've tried to "fastboot boot recovery.img" and I still get the Google screen with the padlock but it says "Fastboot status - OK" on the bottom left.
I've searched and searched but everyone just seems to give tips on how to flash recovery. I know how to flash recovery; it just seem to be going into it though! Could the internal memory be screwed?
Thanks for any advice!

Sounds strange for sure. You try from within the OS? Enable USB debugging and adb reboot recovery.
Doubt it will work but its worth a shot

The phone stops at Google with the padlock on boot! Can't even get into the OS. Going to try to unbrick it and Odin but left my ubuntu laptop at my parents and can't be bothered to go get it... couldn't get it to work booting off cd rom. Kept giving me the "SBL Injection Failure Failed to find device" error booting ubuntu on a CD!

You may have a storage issue.
I seen you tried to flash system and boot recovery with fastboot ( which should have booted) but did you try to flash them all and wipe. The command is fastboot -w update file name.
I think Odin is a windows only tool anyways by the way.

No idea why I said Odin - I meant the unbrickable recovery thing.
I tried Odin with a Jig last night; got it into download mode and flashed with odin. Got the same result.
fastboot -w also gives the same issue...
If I have a storage issue - is there any way I can tell?

Basically you can tell by the issues you're having. Doing all the proper stuff to flash images etc and still having a booting/working device.
As far as a actual diagnostic tool I don't know of one. But it sure sounds like a hw issue to me.

I have the following problem: since a few weeks I'm unable to enter recovery.
This is what I do:
- shut down my phone
- press the power button while holding the volume up
- than I get a screen where I can choose from 4 options using the volume controls and selecting an option with the power button
- I select 'Recovery' and press the power button
- I get the usual black screen with Google logo and padlock
- but instead of getting into my recovery, I get a black screen with a Droid lying down, the 'chest' opened and some kind of small warning triangle above it..somebody who knows what I have to do??
Thanks in advance

Flash custom recovery.img part
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastboot#Flash_Custom_Recovery.img
You need ADB (and ADB drivers installed, strongly recommend PDANet Android Drivers) and fastboot executable.
Custom recovery I suggest you use Clockworkmod Recovery.
I imagine your phone is already unlocked?

When u boot on the Google screen on the bottom centre does it have a padlock? If so then it is unlocked.

You are entering recovery. Stock recovery
If you want a custom one either flash with fastboot or if you're rooted with a app. Goo manager. Rom manager etc.
Keep it mind that if you're on a stock ROM the custom recovery gets overwritten back to stock when the phone boots up the os

In installed the drivers and I installed the fastboot executable, but what do I have to do next? If I run the fastboot.exe, it just quickly shows a CMD-window and then disappears.
Edit:
I just discovered that, when I'm at the bootloader (I think it's called that way, the screen where you can select recovery), and I choose to reboot, I get the same 'error' as when I try to enter recovery.
Edit:
Alright, I was able to flash a new recovery, using cmd, but now when I try to enter my recovery, the phone gets stuck at a black screen with Google logo and padlock...

I have same problem as wolverine_2k who made the post. My nexus, can't start, I tried reboot and recovery but didn't work. After reboot or recovery I see Google logo, than Nexus screen and that is it. It didn't move to home screen and it stay with lighting screen all the time till I remove the battery. I can't power off it and don't know what to do. I can't transfer data with my PC (it don't recognize the device - only notice that "unknown device" is connected). Please any ideas?
P.S.: My English is not good, if someone answer do it simple please
Thanks!

The previous link you were provided only works with stock recovery not cwm or twrp.
The 4.2 bootloader (10.6.?.?.?) does not have a usb icon. When you get to the bootloader press no buttons and wait for notification in the upper left - entering fastboot.

thx thx thx

Sounds like you flashed the incorrect twrp for your bootloader, flashing a non-4.2 twrp on a 4.2 bootloader can cause a fastboot flash brick.
Here's a little info about the changes from a 4.1 to a 4.2 bootloader as there have been quite a few bricks here over the last few months.
Still not sure of the exact issue here but seems there was a change in some or all of the partition tables with the 4.2 bootloaders for both 10.6.1.8 & 10.6.1.15.3 and as a result after updating to 4.2 and then flashing TWRP (non-4.2 version) or CWM recovery would give the following outcome when you boot to recovery.
TWRP would ask for a password on boot, you can hit cancel but are left not being able to mount any partition including external apart from possible system.
CWM was the same, unable to mount any partition.
The device will now also likely boot strait to recovery, and if you have not wiped system you will now have to cold boot andriod from now on.
Now the bad part - In about 90% of cases flashing TWRP (non-4.2 version) or CWM would also result in a fastboot flash brick, meaning that some other fastboot commands will work ok, however any fastboot flash command will look to go ok on the command prompt but you will no longer get the blue progress bar on the tablet and nothing will flash to the tablet. So your either stuck with the current os and have to cold boot or if you wiped your system your just stuck.
Only solution so far to this issue is to replace your motherboard. Here's a thread on the issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2179874
And thus the -4.2 versions of TWRP were made for the 4.2 bootloaders
JB 4.2 bootloaders require the -4.2 versions of twrp
- JB 4.2.1 - 10.6.1.8 = twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2
- JB 4.2.1 - 10.6.1.15.3 = twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2
So if you do not get the blue progress bar on tablet when running a fastboot flash command then sorry to say you have the fastboot flash brick.
There are many many threads/posts on this issue with the above info but still people are not reading, bricking there tablets and creating duplicate upon duplicate threads on this issue, so please look through the threads first, read, read and read some more and if still not sure ask as many questions as you need.
Hope this helps explain what has happened and why the fastboot flash command freezes your tablet.

ok thx for everyone that give a great advice
i just change a new motherbooard
and now the tablet is in a unroot and unlock
i just want a instruction on how to do the unlock and root correctly
i read so many post
i just confuse
im in a android 4.2.1
and us 10.6.1.15.3
any suggestion before i got mess up

[Q] Where has recovery gone?

no access to recovery
I've got big problem. My One Mini is fine until I try to go into recovery. It refuses to go there.
I get fastboot and bootloader menus fine. It enters bootloader, but if I try to go into recovery, it just goes back to the main bootloader menu.
The problem started when I flashed CWMRecovery. Fastboot and adb recognise my phone, and accept commands, but when I try to fastboot flash recovery in it sends an error message. File not found.
I tried " fastboot boot recovery.img" but that just froze the machine .
When I try to get into recovery from rom manager or ROM toolbox pro, it takes me to the fastboot menu, not into recovery, and we're back to square one, as above.
Running android 4.3 Sense 5.5 software 2.12.401.1 Supercid 11111111
rooted and unlocked
To get the phone to work again, I have to hold power down for about 10 secs direct from fastboot/bootloader...may have to do this several times before it boots into Android.
If I turn power off from bootloader, it returns to bootloader when I power up again.
If I don't turn the phone off, once in main application, it's all OK.
Ho hum.
As I say , it works like a dream until I want to go into recovery.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks

The correct command to flash the recovery is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
see also: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro
Booting into recovery should be possible with
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I didnt tried CWM on the Mini, but used it on my old Marvel. I'm satisfied with TWRP for the Mini.
greetings

Yes, thanks. I know the commands should work...but that's the trouble..they don't!
I can get into the recovery menu...HBOOT /FASTBOOT / RECOVERY and so on, but selecting "RECOVERY" simply sends me back to HBOOT menu.
I can't flash anything under FASTBOOT, either. I've been doing this sort of thing for several years without trouble....until now!
So come on chaps..thinking caps on , please.

The RUU wouldn't run: it reported an unknown error, but having done so, it must have done something, as when I rebooted, I had access to recovery once again...briefly! Then it went again.
Anyway, I re locked / unlocked , locked a few times, and hey presto, it's sprung back into life!

Stuck on boot screen

I may have bricked, want to know what went wrong and if it's permanent. Thanks, here's how it happened.
I was running one of the Omnirom nightly builds. I got a notification saying there was a new build, I decided to try it hoping it would improve my battery life. I had TWRP installed so I thought it would be ok (I chose to let it update automatically which I guess was my mistake). It did the update or tried to at least, but when it tried to boot it just gets stuck on the Asus screen. The one with the loading bar. Volume up or down with power button does nothing but get back to the same screen. Reset (using a pin) and volume up or down does the same thing. I thought the only way to permanently boot was doing the wipe option on the recovery menu, but maybe I am wrong. Is it possible to permanently brick doing what I did? Thanks. Any possible solutions?

Unlikely. What always works, if you can put it into fastboot, is install the Asus stock ROM. That will reformat/reinstall every partition.

My bootloader is unlocked, unless I am misunderstanding what you're saying. On the Asus screen it says this device is unlocked. Not sure why I can't access any of the options though, unless my volume buttons is busted or something.

First step: Install new TWRP
1. Download TWRP recovery from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t; I would advise v. 2.8.4.0
2. Put 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob' in fastboot folder of pc and rename to twrp.blob for faster typing.
3. Put tab in fasboot mode and connect.
4. Use command
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob[enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot[enter]
5. Let tab reboot to OS (will stay on ASUS screen, because you don't have OS as of now).
6. Reboot to bootloader screen and go to recovery (RCK); now you can flash any custom ROM you like.
Good luck!

No! Recovery comes way after fastboot mode. Recovery is loaded from your memory card. But something went wrong with your memory card, so you can't load that.
Once you booted your tablet into fastboot, type :"fastboot devices" on your PC. If it shows your tablet, you can easily flash a new ROM.

recovery mode

hi, I hope I'm in the right place to get help with my issue. my Ace is in a reboot loop that i can't seem to get it out of. i have tried force rebooting and lt will not enter into recovery mode so that each time i would hit recovery mode the screen goes blank for a few seconds then the moto logo (M powered by Android) screen comes on with vibration for six seconds then again to blank repeating this loop until i again hold power and volume down buttons. I do have a lot of apps installed but this phone has a whole lot of memory that came with it. I am hoping this forum may have some ideas to help me rectify this issue. thank you.

While connected to a pc, enter the fastboot - w command. This will erase the internal memory and your phone should be able to boot.

thank you for responding. I connected my phone to my laptop but it does not detect it. my phone has, highlighted in red, AP fastboot flash mode (secure). also, tools mode: Disabled, and OEM locked

If you can reboot to recovery, try a factory reset.

thats the problem I"m having is getting into the recovery. I hold the volume down and the power buttons down till I can see the options recovery mode, but when I click on it by pushing on the power button, that's when it goes into the loop mode and never goes into recovery.

Use the Lenovo tool to download and flash the stock rom which includes a recovery.

I did what you adviced and I was instructed to enable debugging or fastboot mode in order to be able to rescue. But if I was able to do either one of those that means I wouldn't need help booting up. follow what I'm saying? because I would have to get into the settings to enable debugging or fastboot mode, somthing I can't do because my phone will not boot up.

To enable fastboot moode, hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time. This should put you in the right place. You should get red text that says you are in fastboot mode. If not, go to https://t.me/motoblankflash and ask for help.
