Try updating your recovery. And be patient.
Maybe post the full error message too, that could help.

thanks for the response Ive used the latest recovery and all it does is attempt to install it then it shows the path of the file installation aborted error status 7

The ROM zip is most probably corrupted or incomplete. It does happens often.
Try flashing your current ROM zip. If it flashes without issues then I am 101% sure that the error is due to corrupted or incomplete .zip

What ROM were u one before this happened?
And RU flashing via recovery or ROM manager app?
What do u format / clean up before u flash any ROM?
And u were a flashaholic in the past, the u could have some unwanted or useless files in ur SD card that could be causing the error.
So ID recommend cleaning up or reformating ur SD card and just put back the necessary files to flash. Then once ur back up, put back all ur files that u want or need(media, games, pics...etc)
Thx

Make sure you're wiping everything. And also, more importantly, that the rom is for your variant of the Nexus.
If you have Nexus S 4G from sprint, you use Crespo4g, if not, use the Nexus S. or Crespo.
Edit: Apologies, I thought you said you WERE new.
I'll just leave this post in case anyone new stumbles up on this thread.

You're flashing the wrong ROM.
Maybe you have mistaken "Nexus" for "Nexus S"

return to stock, USB port borken?

As the title suggests, my USB has not been working for about two weeks, and I finally have time to look into this more. Seems nothing is working... tried drivers from PDANet, different cables, different PC everything. It was working one day and than not the next. Anyhow, is there a way I can return to stock, unrooted so I can get this repaired? Should I take the chance and bring it to Sprint anyway? I do have insurance.... perhaps that's the best way?
Thanks for help!
My best guess will be to boot onto recovery and try to restore from a backup but I'm not entirely sure (since it's for warranty) as u may need to lock the root again and I don't know if that's possible without the pc.
You can download the stock ROM to your sdcard directory using your phone's browser and flash the ROM on CWM.

If you have DropBox app, you can upload the stock ROM to www.dropbox.com and download it using your DropBox app.
Yeah, I was trying to do this yesterday, but I every download link I found has been closed.... any the link posted here doesnt include the sprint version.
man, this sucks.
mine is even worse.i cant bring it to repairs.cuz i hafe the US version of the nexus s. and im in europe..
i imported mine when it got released.
im going to post this in the Nexus S 4G development forum... seems like it's a little more active with more technical details.
I'll try and remember to post back here with what I've been able to do.

DO THIS.
seriously i had the same problem a fortnight ago and thought it was the internal sd, i formated it (didnt work) so i wiped the phone to reflash it. thats when i realized my horrible mistake; but lo and behold the usb was working again so i was able to put a rom on there and flash it. if a wipe and reflash doesnt work try a format first (remember to redownload a rom before you wipe the phone though)

HELP! Brick Bug!

So long story short, my tab was running stock ICS (rooted, with temp CWM/cwm.zip). I decided to try a new rom (paranoid android) so I backed up everything via CWM and I flashed the new rom. But I forgot to do a factory reset before doing so which resulted in a bootloop. I returned to CWM to try to restore the previous ROM, all seemed to be fine and the tab restarted but was also bootlooped. Now I can't even access the stock recovery to acess CWM, I get an error message:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC code : THL
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E :failed to mount / system (invalid argument) <in red.
Is there anything I can do to return to my stock ROM?!
Do I have the Brick Bug?

Can it get into download mode? If so try flash a stock rom with odin. Im not a sgt user but i am a samsung phone user and usualy when i forget to wipe all i have to do is go back into recovery. Then wipe everything and flash the same rom. NEVER go straight to a backup unless you pass setup. Then it can create a link almost so it supports going back. Or so thats what ive been told by devs on other forums...sounds kinda wierd tho but anyway if you forget to do something while flashing roms then go back indo recovery and do it again

I did everything you said, but the progress bar has been stuck at 75% for over an hour, this has happened with all the ROMs I've tried to install. Is there anything else I could do? I red somewhere that a low battery doesn't allow ROMs to be installed properly.
Although I have no idea of my battery life, I'm just gonna leave it to charge for a bit. I hope everything turns out fine eventually

Battery life has nothing to do with it. People just say make sure you have high battery incase something happens. I think that it might be a very expensive brick now. Unless anyone else knows then i habe no idea

:crying:
I was reading the following articles:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-diligently-working-towards-hardbrick-fix/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
Could this Brick Bug be the source of my problems?
I was running a leaked version of ICS AND I have been using the cwm.zip so there is the possibility
Being unable to flash through either Odin or CWM surely sounds a lot like the brickbug.
If I were you, I'd reboot to download mode, and install a full ROM with repartition + PIT file. If it works, install locerra's CWM (it's one of the few recoveries for our tablet that's confirmed to be brickbug-free), and work as usual. But remember to wipe everything before installing anything through CWM...
If Odin doesn't work, you probably have been hit by the brickbug. However, all is not lost: this guy seems to have found a "fix" for many devices. It involves giving up on all your data and making your onboard storage a couple of GB smaller than it used to be, but it can make your device work again. Read the thread, try to understand it, and (if you can't find another way out) use the PIT file for the GT-6800 provided. If your tab isn't the international WiFi+3G GT-P6800, you may have to ask the guy (hg42) for a PIT tailored to your device.
The other option, in the case of a eMMC-related brick, is to remove all traces of CWM, go to a Samsung store and repair it under warranty, saying "its broke down when I were running that backie upppe thing in kies".
The other option is the better one, as i bricked my note. When i am able to revive it, i am left with 8GB space and it seems real laggy. Change a new motherboard would be better if still cover undr warrantly.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Thanks for the replies guy.
I have decided I will return it as faulty, in the hope it is repaired. I haven't been able to boot into CWM anymore, only the download mode, so I am guessing it is fine to return it as it is?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd return it to something as close to stock as possible.
One suggestion: grab the latest Odin-flashable ROM for your country. You'll get a .tar.md5 file, such as P6800UBLA2_P6800ZTOLA2_ZTO.tar.md5. Try to flash it through Odin, just to see if it works; if it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems. If it works, congratulations, you have your tablet back, and you can stop reading.
Now, Rename that file to .tar (or, remove the .md5 extension), and open it in WinRAR/7zip/whatever. You'll see a lot of .img files inside, including the one that gave you problems. Remove it, and try to flash this new .tar file. If the flash works, proceed to the next paragraph. If it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems, and repeat this paragraph using your new .tar file.
After a flash that works, your device should be as close to stock as possible. Maybe it will even boot, but I wouldn't count on it (try anyway). I'd send it to the repair centre only when it is at this stage.

The tab gets stuck at 'factoryfs.img'. I'm a bit cautious since it is the biggest file in the .tar. Isn't the tab 'stock' stock enough as it is?:silly:

Thats...a...problem...if it takes longer then 15 mins its bricked...i have been a gt user and devs on other sites told me it was bricked. Maybe there is a solution but...i havnt found one. It should never take too long on one thing in odin.

Even so, flash the other .imgs. You want to be closest to stock, including the recovery (imagine the guys at the Samsung centre manage to enter recovery, just to see CWM: your warranty is now gone). Having all partitions on stock, or at least most of them, can only help your case.

The warrenty is not void unless they find proof of tampering with system files. So basicly yeah...everything that guy said. Get it as close to stock as possible and send.

Right OK, I definately don't want my warrenty void!
So would it be ok if I flashed 'P6800OXALQ1_P6800XXLQ1_HOME.tar.md5' (minus the factoryfs.img) to my tab?

sooo please tell me what going on right now, what is the state of your device, you are able to get into recovery correct? its not the stock recovery which is recovery 3e. it turns on but allot of the apps are not working. so since the signature verification failed, you are going to go to (this is assuming you have CWM NOT STOCK RECOVERY) install zip from sdcard then toggle signature verification, and try to reflash the rom you wanted and since the google play store isent working on your device you need to flash the gapps. it needs to be the version of android the rom you want to flash. (gingerbread roms dont need it but ICS and JB need it) just google gapps and look for the android version of what the rom is.

Before being a ****, make sure you know what I'm asking. I did not ask him could he get into recovery, I asked which recovery he had installed. Is there a block button for assholes like you?

That's the second time you've insinuated I didn't read the thread. I can read perfectly well, thank you. At one point he let on he didn't know which recovery he had installed and then he let on he may have CMW. Unless you have something to actually contribute to this thread or a valid question, I'd appreciate it if we just don't communicate with each other. It's a waste of space, which drives up server costs and i don't much like you.

[Q] Galaxy Note 1 I717 Stock Flash won't fix boot loop

I received a Galaxy Note 1 I717 (AT&T) and it was in a bootloop. I have experience with flashing stock roms through Odin and fixing bootloops that way. So after going through recovery mode, wiping, flashing, I am still getting put into a bootloop after a successful flash on Odin. I've spent 2 days with this and tried all the little suggestions of wiping before flashing, using the original roms from XDA , trying some other stock roms specifically for my model and I'm still left with a bootloop. I'm capable of getting into download and recovery, and I've actually gotten different stock recovery modes! So the flashes are working, but it just won't boot up correctly. I looked around for the U.S. version of the Pit CSC Phone and PDA to try and re partition it, but they are absolutely NOWHERE! Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether it's a ROM suggestion, the re partition files, or whatever else.

A bad kernel can be the cause of this problem. Try and search for a custom kernel for your device and flash it.
I hope this will solve your problem.

OK, download these files and put them on your device:
Rom: http://goo.gl/81TamM
Gapps (important!): http://goo.gl/ws5KZF
Then follow these steps exactly:
1. Boot to recovery (CWM or whatever you use)
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (advanced-> wipe dalvik cache)
5. Flash rom
7. Flash the gapps
This must work, if it doesn't, please say it, maybe I can help you further.

My bad for not properly explaining my situation, the note is stuck in a boot loop. So I can't upload files to it through drag and drop in USB. It's still capable of flashing through Odin and going into recovery with CWM, but there's no way I know of putting files onto a boot looping phone.

Yes of course, or put the files with a computer on the SDCard.
If you've put the files onto the SDCard, insert it to your Note, and follow the steps on my previous post.

Alright, so on my good phone I threw the 2 zips on my extra SD card. Then I put that SD card in the note, went into CWM, wiped the necessary areas as you said, and the dead android with a red triangle appeared. It's a long error, but the end says Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-quincyatt.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Are you sure you gave me the right ROM to install?

Status 7 means the device is incompatible, but that's impossible since we have the right ROM for your device.
OK just be sure, I'll give you another ROM and you must follow the other steps, but with the different files of course.
ROM: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131015-0513-quincyatt.zip
Google Apps: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
This is an Android 4.3.1 ROM so you're really up to date with this one.
Put these on a SD Card and follow the given steps in my other post.
This one has to work.

Hate to say it, but installed the new ROM file and got the same exact message. Right now I'm on CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 and I flashed to stock before this, thanks for all of the help so far. Any suggestions?

Do you know for sure you're on a Galaxy Note i717 AT&T?
Because 2 roms incompatible is almost impossible.

Sorry for not getting back in a while, thanks for all the effort you've been putting into helping out.
I'm 100% positive, I'm looking at the back below where the battery goes and it says SGH-I717. I thought that model number meant for sure it was AT&T. I live in the states also if that helps.

But don't you think it's maybe a Chinese replica with a different kernel?
If you got it cheap, that might be the case.
And can you please thank my posts?
Because the few clicks you do, help me a lot

No it was definitely bought in the US, legit from a phone store.

So, for my understanding, you bought it new from the store and rooted it and then got in a bootloop?
Can you please tell me how you came in the bootloop, did you get it with flashing a ROM or a kernel etc.?

I bought it from a friend because they had it in a boot loop. Everything on it was completely stock since they were your average user, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware issue either if that helps because randomly after flashing CWM one time it actually booted up and I was able to use the phone. But after rebooting, it bootlooped again :\. I haven't been able to replicate this again sadly.
