[Q] Nexus S 4G won't boot past Google Screen!!

I tried rooting my phone, but when I flashed CWM my Nexus S stopped booting... it freezes on the Google screen in the intro. I can boot into Fastboot, and cwm, but I cant connect the Internal memory to the computer without it booting like it is supposed to. Does anybody know of anything I can do to fix my phone and bring it back to stock??

There are guides for returning to stock stickied in the Nexus S 4G Android Development forum.
Before you do that though, try flashing a different recovery, like the one linked to here or here.
Btw, which guide did you use? You're not the first person to have this problem, and it's really bugging me (though probably not as much as it's bugging you :-o).

I will try a different recovery, but how would I flash a rom if I can connect my phone via usb mount?

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I think it's
fastboot flash system system.img.
You don't need to put the rom image on the sdcard. Just put it in the same folder as fastboot.

It was titled "How to Root Nexus S!"
And I will try to flash recovery and try that rom command, thank you )

There's a button for that.

I got the link. Thanks. I looks like you flashed a boot image that is incompatible with your phone. That guide was for the T-Mobile Nexus S. (Why they're screwing with the boot.img to begin with, I really don't understand.)
Download the attached file, and unzip it to the same folder as fastboot. The md5 sum is d4a9508f9321eb25df3383f00f571e8b. Then
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll probably also want to use one of the recoveries listed above to
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
, but leave system alone for now. Flash that only as a last resort.

OMG!! im having the same issue. could you please post the link for ODIN so i can return to stock and take it from there please? I rely on my phone so much and i need it asap thank you.

same problem with me.
but in my case, the phone not only freeze after the google logo before boot. I tried several times to pull the battery and start the phone again, it took several times until the phone can boot normally again.
After that, my nexus s can work as usual. but it only takes 3-4 hour until it freeze/hangs or reboot automatically and show image of green robot lay down with red alert triangle...
sometimes I noticed all application force closed like gmail, gtalk, etc. (its a basic apps instead of 3rd party app)
History :
- root GB 2.37 using superoneclick
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- problem happens
- root using guide : nexusshacks.com
- unroot using guide : nexusshacks.com
- back to factory setting on GB 2.34
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- Still got that problem.....
I'm using Nexus S 4G Sprint, pls help me guys...

nexus s won't boot
I had the same problem and read elsewhere that heating the phone with a hairdryer solves the problem.
I must say, indeed it did.
I removed the battery and the SIM card, then heated up the phone (so it really feels warm) put back the battery and sim and simsalebim the phone started again. and is still working since (now already a few day's)
It seems that a component in the phone is heat sensitive, the question in my mind is when will this show again and do I need to consider buying a new phone.
But sofar it works
PS I also tried hard reset factory reset the lot, but in the end only heating up helped.
Good luck, David

I fixed this problem! but I had to wipe all user data by rooting it using nexusrootICS. It finally boots up and the phone works now... that's all I need.

First thing you need to do is take a while to read and learn about what you are doing before you make things worse. There is no avoiding this. You shouldn't do anything if you don't know what it is you are doing or what people are telling you to do to fix whatever happened because you didn't know what you were doing. It seems to me an answer or possible solution was just posted for you.

"I don't know or understand how" isn't an excuse when the answer was handed to you. It is up to you to take the advice or not. And download the needed files onto the PC you are using to post with, then transfer them to your phone via the instructions posted in the post above. Read, learn, and follow directions and you should be OK. Good luck.

[Q] Media sound is getting muted automatically

i bought a new atrix 2 MB865,not rooted.I am facing a problem like after some hours sounds of media(games,videos,youtube,...)are getting muted but in the settings it shows that sounds are full,then i need to change all the sounds in the setings and then media sound setting..then they will be audible but this is a cyclic process...can any one please help me out why this is happening

Here goes similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048647 (yeah that's in a wrong section). I have the issue too. Reboot when it happens. Works for me!

is there any other solution except rebooting???
it happens nearly 3-4 times a day and it is irritating to reboot always...

Hate to suggest this, but you might try a full FDR on the device. Either that, or you could try and clear the data of the settings/apps that are facing the issues/or anything else that could be calling for the media volume settings. Either way, you shouldn't be having this issue with a stock A2. I'd try to reset as a last option, but try to clear the data of those above mentioned in settings > manage applications > find those I listed and clear the data > reboot. If that doesn't solve it, try a full factory reset...

bro all the apps,games,videos,songs,....are facing this issue,,,,so i think its not possible to clear each data.....will a factory reset fix this problem??
if yes,then there is no problem for me to do a factory reset

It happened with me on CM10 today, had to switch out of app and go back, the sound returned.

There's a risk in everything you do, from playing around with mobile devices to just simply walking outside your home each day. Flash the wrong FXZ/SBF to your device, you could brick. There's many ways to "brick" any device, and there are different levels of being "bricked". My suggestion: read, re-read, and read again before you do anything to any of your devices. Understand what you are doing before you do anything. You'd be surprised how many people fail to follow that simple step, and end up posting on here that they have borked their phone all up. Rooting is the least likely to brick your device. And of course it's "safe" to install (flash) custom ROMs, so long as you follow the installation instructions for each, and understand what you are doing before you do anything (sound familiar?) -- why do you think we are all on this site, for the lulz? The bootloader is locked, and will continue to be until the great devs here are able to crack the security certs, etc. The "unlocked" text you saw was likely from your carrier. I have a One S that gave a similar indication when I got it, because it was 'globally unlocked' to be used on any carrier. Hope that clears things up.

Unlocked probably means 'Carrier unlocked' and not 'Bootloader unlocked' Is this the Indian Version or Imported AT&T Version?

So, It meant it was 'Carrier unlocked' to be able to run on any network around the world and not just AT&T USA.

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.

okaaaaaaaaaay that was a bit weird. ok lets see how clear i can be. i roioted my phone using odin. superuser is there(but i cant tell if it works cause my wifi is not connecting whatsoever). basic phone functions(camera,music player,calling work fine) when i do the three finger salute i see 3e recovery. updates and roms are on my sd card but the verification halts any progress. its like the files are incomplete somehow i guess(just a guess). google framework shows an error pop up all the time...............should i reroot the phone,try to get cwm again or try another rom jus in case. any advice right now would be greatly appreciated. i recommend u guys to my friends and u helped me so much in the past. i jus wanna be back in the game makin all my android friends jealous and see what this baby can really do

[Q] Is my Android phone dead?-- Help!

I don't want to make a really long post so I'll get straight to the point:
I own a rooted ALCATEL OT-991d. So today I was scrolling through App Manager when I saw Google Services Framework. So the thing is, after the root, my phone started having errors I didn't have before. My download notifications in the System UI from the Browser and Google Play wont vanish. I'll press clear and after a time it's all going to vanish but after a few minutes or after I open Google Play it just goes back again.
So here's the problem: I thought that Google Services Framework was the culprit (I know that was very stupid of me. Now I know what it is for) so I deleted it. Actually I hesitated and cancelled the operation but it was too late. So I tried looking the solution up, but to no avail. I downloaded 3 types of the said Framework but it wont install. I kept on getting the "Application Not Installed" Error.
So now I did a Factory Reset. So everything worked fine, except for the Setup Wizard. I was able to set the language and such but when I came to the "Set Up Google Account" part, it kept of crashing (because Google Service Framework is already gone) thus a fruitless loop. Now I can't even use my phone at all 'cause I can't bypass the freaking Setup Wizard.
Any tips? I can't buy a new phone at the moment so I'm at my wits end here.
I'm sorry for the long post and if I violated anything, it's because I'm quite new here.
My phone is on Android 2.3.6. I didn't have a chance to check the baseband etc. 'cause I never knew this would happen. But if you guys need it I can check my sister's device since we have the same phone. Thanks!

Update
Okay I found a solution..
I want to install a new ROM but I don't know how. I downloaded something like an Android 2.3.6 ROM and when I try to install it it says the signing failed blah blah. Help? Do I have to wipe the phone of its stock ROM?
Can anyone provide me with a working ROM for Alcatel OT-991d? Stock ROM's fine.
Thanks!

When it says zip verification failed its because you need to install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or TWRP in order to flash custom ROMs
And Mate, Always do some searching before asking a question! There's already a guide on xda-developers teaching how to flash the stock ROM on Alcatel OT-991d
Anyway, I hope your phone works! Good luck

Ah yes, I did check that thread. It was just for bricked phones.
I was able to fix it. I updated the ROM. I used Alcatel Upgrade S for it. :victory: The sad part is now I have to start all over again 'cause I had to perform a hard reset and I wiped the old ROM.
Lesson Learned: Never delete Google Services Framework
