[Q] Booting keeps looping, no backup :((

Hi,
please. Help me out. I just rooted my Nexus S I90023. Everything worked fine I flashed new CM9 Alpha19 ROM, but did not do any backup before. I know, I am complete asshole! It's a brand new phone so I thought I do not need any backup while I have no data. But know the bootscreen has just Google logo and lock image. i can get into recovery but I have no backups and other ROMs installed.
Is it brick? ((

go to recovery. (Power button and volume down) once in recovery press both volume up and down at the same time...then do a factory reset-wipe.

If you still need some data from the phone i would just try to wipe cache in recovery and reboot.

[Q] How to hard reset Nexus S

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
thanks a lot for your help! cheers

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!

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.

htc explorer crashes and reboots again and again
SIZE="4"] Try to fix it , all you have to do is, turn on the phone by holding the on button and the volume - (down) button,boot you into recovery mode, scroll down to recovery then click the power button, when it loads up, look for the option that says "wipe data/factory reset select options on this menu, then if it is there click also on wipe cache partition, then click reboot at the top. Hope this works fine for you.[/SIZE]

Did you backed up your whole data using recovery mode???
If yes than wipe your factory/data, wipe cache partition ,go to advance wipe your dalvik cache, wipe your battery stats and restore your backup
then reboot your phone its done....
and if didnt backup try to flash different rom or download stock rom for your device and flash it...

[Q] I think I screwed up!

I went with this guide to root my Oneplus: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-t...and-install-custom-recovery-xda-developer-tv/
It worked, it is fully rooted (tried installing a root-acces app). It has TWRP recovery.
I wanted to install Mahdi-ROM, I went with this URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-mahdi-rom-2-7-oneplus-camera-4k-t2813107
I copied the GAPPS + Mahdi-ROM, booted into TWRP, went for advanced wipe and selected: Cache, System and Dalvik, like the guide says.
It worked and went on with flashing the Mahdi ZIP and Gapps ZIP. It said installation was succesfull, then it restarted to the onplus (powered by android) screen.
After this screen comes the 4 coloured circles (green blue red yellow) that swirl into each other and out of each other. My phone has been stuck into this screen for around 30/40 minutes now. I cannot turn it off or perform any action at all...
WHAT HAPPENED?

first off of course you can turn it off but log into recovery and just wipe caches and try and reboot. If you dont know how to do that its by holding power button till it goes off then holding vol down and power to get back into recovery.
You can also try wipe system and reflash rom and gapps

I did not realize that I could turn it off while being in this screen. I turned it off, wiped everything this time (ticked 'Data' too) and reinstalled everything.
It works so smooth I can't believe it.. thank you!
