hey guys,
I tried rooting and flashing a new rom on my friend's Nexus S and things kind of went south. The phone doesn't boot up completely. it shows the google logo but nothing more. i can get into bootloader and from there into the CMW recovery. The phone's from Fido and I believe it's an i9020a. Right now once i get into the bootloader it say's "carrier info: ATT". I'm too used to working with odin. I found the right version of the stock rom to flash but it says "error status 7. installation aborted". Can anyone help me fix the phone?

What rom did you flash?
Wipe data/factory reset in CWM. Fixes most booting problems unless you flashed a wrong rom.
yes i'm pretty sure i did flash the wrong rom. I flashed a miui rom here's the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869369
I just need to flash the right rom but i can't find which is the right one. I already tried what you said but no luck.
I'm trying to get the fastboot to work. before i flashed anything it was working and my drivers on my mac would recognize the phone and commands would work in the terminal. now it just doesn't recognize the phone.

Hi Guys,
So I unlocked my phone's bootloader, flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery and then tried to flash CM10.... something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo with the red text that says "This build is for development purposes only......".
I have tried just about everything I have read about, and I am still just as screwed. Have I permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks for your help.
First for the One XL it is suggested you use TWRP and not CWM
You can get it here from their website .
It tells you how to fastboot flash it.
If you did an OTA to 2.20 or your device came with 2.20 you probably need to flash the boot.img /kernel
So in your CM10 zip, extract the boot image.
and use fastboot to flash the boot img with the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and that should help you out.
I also suggest reflashing the rom with TWRP just in case. Hope this helps.
Can adb see the phone?

This is the one xl correct, not the international on x?
If you can get anything on your screen, your phone isn't hard-bricked.
First, which phone do you have? ClockworkMod Touch Recovery does not work on the AT&T One X (One XL). If you tried flashing a ROM through it, it's not going to work and it's probably not booting up because the ROM is corrupted.
I would start with flashing a new recovery in adb. Use TWRP, because even the basic CWM is not supported for this phone and can cause issues.
Can you get into recovery? If so is the SD card mountable?
First time I flashed i had a similar issue where the SD couldn't mount. I ended up having to run the factory RUU after relocking the bootloader & then start again. I waited for a later nightly to come out. Also seems to go better if you flash a different rom first like viper.

Doesn't matter. He flashed the wrong recovery (not for our phone). There is not Touch CWM for our version.
i should really refresh pages before replying
When I download CM I also downloaded their recovery thinking I needed it, when I booted into twrp I wiped my data and then went to install and I didn't realize I flashed the recovery until I booted back up. Their is no OS on my phone and I'm stuck in CM recovery and I don't know how to fix my phone. LG flashtoo doesn't work, when I try to flash the stock rom it just says Failed PreviousLoad(). So if anyone knows how to fix my phone or lg flashtool please help, thanks.

Hello,
Can you tell us the make and model of your device?
-Vatsal
Got my new XZP yesterday, unlocked it fine. But Im a dumbass and WIPED THE WHOLE THING so there's No OS. No matter how many times I try to Wipe it and Flash TWRP it Won't boot into TWRP. It won't even give me a Sony Logo. It only gives me the "Your device is unlocked - Boot in 5 seconds " message and then Endlessly will do that. I can't boot into recovery. I need to know if there's a way to remedy this I'm desperate as hell cause I rooted my Xperia X just fine. I even used Newflasher to flash a new updated Stock ROM to it. Seemed to work fine, still wouldn't give me a Sony Logo or Boot into recovery.
PLEASE HELP!!! Edit: I re flashed just a system .sin and that allowed me to get back into TWRP. I still have no clue why flashing a ROM didn't work. But I have TWRP and an SD Card.

that is very very interesting... did you try flashtool and flash older android version?
Can you boot into Fastboot and flash a valid rom via newflasher?
It could be possible, that in fastboot the screen is still dark
I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.
Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.
I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.
Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!!

Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.
As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.
I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.
I have attatched the ODIN i use, its a 7zip file.
Thank you, after trying a few more things the twrp file you gave me worked. I now have a fully rooted s8!!!! Your a legend.
Hi all
I'm having big troubles with my Galaxy S10e.
Initially I wanted to install the Pixel Experience ROM but I'm not getting anywhere...
To do so I figured I would install TWRP to flash the ROM via Heimdall afterwards and already there I'm running into problems.
It seems that I can only flash the TWRP version 3.6.0_9-3. Any other version will fail in Odin, don't know why because the log does not say anything helpful.
But the bigger problem is that once I install that version of TWRP the phone keeps booting into download mode.
The only way to fix it, is to flash the stock ROM and start over again, only to end up at the same point.
I am completely lost and out of ideas...
The phone is OEM unlocked, USB debugging is enabled and the bootloader is unlocked.
Does anybody have an idea how I can get a custom recovery onto the phone without it going into bootloop ???
Thanks in advance !!
Edit: Managed to install the newest version of TWRP but still run into bootloop to download mode.... aaaaaaaarghh
