[Q] Samsung Nexus S : boot, recovery mode, download mode, root install... problems - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I'm sorry if it is not the good place to ask help but i search a solution on forum, blog, google... and i'm blocked.
I have a samsung nexus s which coulnd't boot. It stay with "Google" on screen.
I try to find the recevory mod, in order to make a factory reboot, but the recovery mod is broken also. The little android robot is open with a red exclamation mark.
I have this information on the boot menu :
Fastboot mode
Product Name : HERRING
HW Version : REV 52
Bootloader version : I9020XXLC2
Baseband version : I9020XXKI1
Carrier Info : EUR
SERIAL number : xxxxxxx
Lock State : Locked
I try a method with ODIN, i try to root the phone, but the system is shut. ODIN failed, the root also failed even if the phone is half reconized with the kies samsung driver.
So i don't know what to do now... lose the information isn't a problem, i just want a working phone.
Someone could help me?
Thanks a lot,
pS: i'm french, sorry for my english
And i did a mistake first time, in posting in the wrong section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078419

Download this: http://goo.gl/0K6eh then install it.
Instructions:
1. Select the CORRECT device and build (what you are currently running) <-- Select the EXACT device model. For example: i9023, i9020A, etc.
2. Configure your drivers if you haven’t already using the driver guide (If you aren’t sure use Step 3 of the driver guide to test your drivers).
3. If you need to backup your important data.
4. Unlock your device
5. Root your device
*Try out the other toolkit features by pressing the buttons, each button explains what it does first. So the best way to get familiar with the toolkit is simply to press the buttons and read what it says.

[Q] Another firmware question

I bought a US refurb P6210, I am in the UK.
Using Kies it doesn't state a current firmware version - is that a problem?
It also states there are no updates available - fine if true, not needing one.
How do I know what software I am using so I can get a Stock image for recovery purposes?
Android Version: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build: HTJ85B.UEKJC.P6210UEKJC
Which doesn't seem to tie up with any of these:

From this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484573
It looks like I have a North American firmware October 2011 version C
The guy below me has European firmware Dec 2011 version 4
I too seem to have an unknown Firmware
Model: Gt-P6210
Android: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36-P6210XXKL4-CL604657
[email protected]#3
Build Number: HTJ85B.XXKL4 P6210XXKL4
UEKJC to UEKL1
Has anyone succesfully flashed the full P6210UEKL1 package over the P6210UEKJC firmware?
I'm starting to think UEKJC is a very early or slightly unofficial firmware as Kies doesn't recognise it (Current firmware version: BLANK) and the OTA never finds any updates.
This seems to be the firmware coming on the US refurb units from Digigood on eBay.
I'm tempted to start from fresh and flash UEKL1 using Odin and then see if Kies and OTA start to pick up the real updates from there.
For Odin flashing would this be the right process?
1. Start Odin 1.85
2. Load P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA section
3. Turn on P6210 with Power and Volume Down and choose Download mode
4. Hit Start on Odin
Any advice/help appreciated

Yup. That's the correct process. This should bring you back to stock. I don't know what's been done to your tab's ROM in order for KIES not to recognize it, (I'd probably need more information, but it's not at all important,) this process should give you a clean slate from which to start. Good luck!

Help!Wifi issue after upgraded to 4.0.4

i can't connect wifi after upgraded to 4.0.4
i tried to reset factory data
but it doesn't work
please help!!
We're going to need a bit more information before we could begin to make suggestions.
What verison of the Nexus S do you have? (European, T-Mobile, Nexus S 4G?)
How did you do the update? (OTA, ODIN, Flash Via CWM)
Are you unable to turn wifi on? or is it on, but you just can't connect?
If Wifi is on, can you see any wifi access points under the wifi menu?
If you can see the wifi access points, but not connect to them, does the phone even attempt to connect, or does it just hang there?
All of these would be very helpful in diagnosing the problem.
(My gut feeling though tells me that you will just have to re-flash the 4.0.4 update. IN order to est determine how to do that though, we will need answers to the first two questions.)
Model number: Nexus S
Android version:4.0.4
Baseband version: I9023XXKI1

I received the upgrade software from google on the device, and then installed directly.
Able to turn wifi on, but cant see any wifi access points under the wifi menu
Thankyou so much
You can try another ics 4.0.4 on the web (mine is from samfirmware) and try reflashing...
Sorry for my english

Anyone can tell me how to reflash my device?
Is your bootloader unlocked? if it's not, unlock it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
You can follow the steps till part 3
After that, get a custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035
This one's CM9. (I've tried many but always come back to this)
Just follow the instruction in the link.

[Q] Dont know anything about flashing, need assistance for my Samsung i9003.

Hi XDA-ers.
I am obviously new here. I do not know anything about ROM's flashing nor upgrading to newer ROM's. I got my SL few weeks ago from a friend. Bought it from her a very low price due to certain need. ANyway, please help me in the step by step procedure, what to download and what to specifically do first to upgrade, downgrade or whichever you may call it.
About my phone:
Model Number: GT-i9003
Firmware Version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9003JXKA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.JPKB1
I apprciate for your fast response on what the exact things to do. By the way I am from the Philippines, my friend told me this works before with a Globe Telecom sim card and now it doesn't so I cant use my Globe Sim.
Please, please help.
Thanks.
I guess you need to do stuff in below order
1) connect to Kies and get updated to latest firmware
2) root it ... search forum for help on rooting
3) select a custom ROM if you want to else
3) check out deodexing/custom kernels/mods available for your final firmware
What do you really want? To root? Use custom firmware?
Here's my 1st route after getting my phone.
1. This is the general rom that we use in this section download XXKPE and XXKPQ here first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
flash XXKPE first then XXKPQ heres the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
then root it using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056 download bagaria.tar there flash it via odin click PDA then browse that.
THERE! you can now install custom firmwares. Choose any from the development section download a rom save it in sd card then do recovery mode (Volume up+power+home) then install zip then pik the .zip.
Thanks so much for all your help. Im reading from stage 1 now. Will post here if I needed more help from you guys.

[Q] Where to start?!

Hi all,
I'm new to this Xoom and I just bought it yesterday!
To be honest I don't know where to start!?
I want to install custom recovery, unlock, and install a custom ROM!
If that is difficult/unfeasable I only want to install the latest JB 4.1.1 rooted! Stock.
I have the following:
Model number:
MZ604
Android Version:
4.0.4
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_P011
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_A029
GAS_ASIA_UCAHUBLWFRTIRD_M007
Kernel version:
2.6.39.4-00033-gbd0e533
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 5 04:25:57 CDT 2012
Build number:
I.7.1-45
Please help me where to start?! What is fastest way?! Or the safest way?! Is this a US or non-US xoom?!
Thanks,
You have the Asian model (not a US one) which is the same as mine.
I turned mine into a 'Google Experience Device' by unlocking the bootloader, installed the US images, re-locked bootloader, then it OTA'd up to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean courtesy of Google.
The US images are available here at the link below from Motorola. You may need to register to download 'Build HWI69 for US Retail'.

Well I've never owned android without rooting! It's unusable to me! 1st reason to do so is to remove ads!
General info on how to unlock, get a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM.
1. Set up android SDK and get fastboot and adb working.
2. Unlock: fastboot OEM unlock.
3. Custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Download ROM of your choice, boot into recovery, create backup, and install.
There are plenty of guides that cover these individual concepts in detail. Good luck.

Is it unlocked? Rooted?
Yes, your device is completely capable of flashing and upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) and even Jelly Bean (4.1.2).
While there are two ways to do that but since you already mentioned that you want to use Custom ROMs available on net, then this guide is the solution to it.
It will help you unlock your bootloader and Install a custom Recovery which in turn will enable you to flash custom ROMs on your device.
You can choose a Custom ROM which meets your requirements available here in Nexus S Android Development Section.
