[SOLVED] Rooting Nexus S <recovery wont stick>

I missed out something i think.
I have my sdk, with those files.
I went to cmd and type the commant
bla bla bla
fastboot devices >>> no error, means connected
fastboot oem unlock
>>>> it is connected but why it still waiting for my device?
I added the path to the system too, but still cant get rid of
I search the net and I cant get the solution.
Any idea anyone?

What drivers did you install? And yes, I read the "fastboot devices"

installed everyhing...
samsung adb + google package
samsung driver
pdanet

Phone has to be in bootloader mode?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

yup.. it is in volume up + on mode.

If you plug your NS in and look in the Device Manager, do you see an unknown device with the question mark? If so, you should try to manually install the driver located in android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
And when you issue the command
Code:
fastboot devices
It should display your NS device id, not just a blank line.

"samsung" driver... no
you use the drivers obtained from the Android SDK or PDAnet
Pretty much what suksit said.

Try pdanet! Last place i go y find drivers

I tried sdk driver, pdanet driver. I can't unknown driver, it is listed as android. Means my phone is found by computer
I have android 2. 3. 4. Does it effect?

Just curious, did you enabled the option in Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging?
In Device Manger it should say something like "Android Composite ADB Interface"

I enabled it too... maybe I will try to reinstall and root it via my XP in VM.
I rooted my wildfire with this pc last time, maybe the drive mixed up.

Just noticed that your location is in Malaysia. Could it happen that you have the i9023 (SLCD) model? If that's the case then I think you should try this.

Ya, I bought slcd set.
I will try it tomorrow at night and report back to you guys.
--------------------------------
It is really strange. Tried everything and won't work.
Pdanet detected my device that it is connected to computer, but it just show wait for device.
----------------------------------------
Edit: my full charge is 95%, it is normal right?

Yeah thats normal, Samsung did some weird battery calibration thing!
However people here have found to get 100% or close to it.
When charging just leave screen on for 1 hour and have tethered wifi On, so far im charging full up to 98%, just waiting to squeeze in the last 2%.....could take awhile.
and yeah the 95% charge is normal. heres a explanation in further detail
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)

Rooting will add su binary and Superuser app to your NS. But your data will be wiped (both on phone and SD card) when you unlock the bootloader -- it's the same as doing a factory reset. However, your system partition will not be affected so no need to install new ROM if you prefer using stock.

Stuck at recovery?

OK guys, serious problem here. Went to install aeon 1.4 on my girls infuse, and decided to do a clean wipe from stock, (heimdall) on MacBook. And it just gets stuck at red recovery, so far I've tried using two different computers running windows, and even the MacBook with paralells. To no success, MOST flash attempts end in a failure somewhere in factory fs. Or cache.
One thing I should note Ghats oddly different, is her phone, ever since day one, when going into download mode, you get a warning screen about how its unsafe to flash aftermarket roms,
Cable works.

There has been some reported issues with the heimdall and heimdall 1 click on Mac.
You may need to borrow or use a PC based OS to get it to flash. You will also need admin privileges to flash the jar file.

One other problem is an incredible difficulty connecting to windows
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

I've tried using MY infuse to get all the drivers setup, and it will connect, but when you try to connect during download mode, or USB mounted storage under recovery, it either does nothing, (hers) or in download mode says unrecognized device (both) I was thinking it might be the cable, but the cable worked FINE on my phone when I flashed it on the Mac. Now suddenly its a complicated issue...

the 1-click has its own drivers built in. I usually have luck switching to different usb port
edit:
Try GOOGLE "how to use heimdall or how to install heimdall drivers" for some suggestions. The other thing I can think of is to try attaching a USB hub to one of the port and try again. The newer hub may help your pc recognize the newer device on the older port...beyond that, I can't help much further. It's a matter of find a pc that works for you.
If you look thru the Q/A thread and the main thread, there has been some report about Mac not liking heimdall or vice versa

On my mac, those drivers work, on my PC, my device doesnt come up as USB Composite Device, so it doesnt let me fix it. it just shows up as unkown device.
I believe i could fix this issue if i could somehow transfer a rom file onto the usb storage, or access the memory card at all from recovery

A little help please..

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with my phone now..
I tried to reflash XBSall's original ICS using the LGFlash Tool, and after the flashing process, I can't seem to turn on my phone at all.
I get an error that I hadn't encountered when I first flashed ICS onto my phone. You can see the error in the screenshot I have uploaded [Error Screen.JPG]
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, that would be great. I am still able to boot into the S/W flash thing (which I also have in my attachments, it's number 1 of the images[DSC_0029.jpg] )
Thanks for the help, XDA. In the meantime, I'll see what else I can do.
I have created a thread about this in the Thrill4G forums, but I know that this forum is more active, so I posted it here as well in order to (hopefully) get more responses. Sorry if this is considered a spam.

Can you boot into recovery? If so, wipe everything and try again.
Are you sure you did all of the steps in the tutorial right?
Did you install the OMAP4430 driver?
Also, did you change the port of the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in your device manager?

I cannot boot into any recovery. Heck, my phone won't even show the LG Logo when I hold the power button.
I did all the steps right (I've even posted a tutorial that has helped a few others to do this, which is pretty ironic), and installed OMAP4430 drivers, AND changed the port to com41.
Thanks for the luck though. I sure am gonna need it.

So you can't go into download mode? Does your PC recognize the phone when its plugged in?

Nope, I can't seem to get into download mode. The only thing that works right now is that S/W [insert Asian characters here] screen.

That s/w screen is similar (but not the same) as the one I get in download mode. I just checked again and I get a black background, 2 arrows making a circle and underneath it says S/W followed by some Korean.
Have you tried plugging in your USB and opening device manager to see if its recognised?

Yes, the device is recognized when in the S/W screen. I was able to change the port to com41 as well, so I could try to flash some .bin files with the Android system, because currently all it's able to do is erase the partitions, and not actually write anything to it.
It's also worth noting that at one point, I got Gingerbread to work. But, me being stupid, I tried to reinstall ICS, and the whole thing broke down on me. HOWEVER, when I was in Gingerbread, it told me my internal memory was corrupted. Would this make any issues when I try to reflash things?

I'm not very experienced at this but a corrupt internal memory doesn't sound healthy. All you can do is try to flash a ROM and hope for the best.

Already tried flashing a few, nothing seems to go past that OMAP error I keep getting.

Your internal memory is not corrupted , you just didn't format your Internal SD space when you came back to Gingerbread thats why you had that message.
So thats not the issue...
Actually from what you describe so far your phone is OK.
If nobody can help you fix it until next weekend when i 'll check XDA again i 'll show you how to fix it. (unless i m too busy)

Ok. Thank you XBSall. Your help is very, VERY much appreciated.

Try to put the batterry out and in when u re connecting the phone to your computer and uninstall drivers and install it again and read the describtion again and try every things again ...

This is very easy if you have an att phone. If not you will NEED to get the correct FXZ for you phone and download what I am about to link here, then put the correct FXZ for YOUR phone in the same location as in the download, and run the batch file, while your phone is in fastboot, as simple as that. If you do this RSDlite is not needed.
Link to the post with the scripts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
Again as it is, that is ONLY for AT&T phone, and you MUST get the proper FXZ for your phone, if it is not an AT&T phone, and put the FXZ in the same directory as the rest of the files with the script.

1. Make sure your phone is fully charged (you can't fxz below 30%)
2. Install the correct driver and boot your phone to AP Fastboot
3. You don't have to extract the fxz file. just put them to C:/ as a whole
I recommend you read the instruction again

Obviously you have to get fastboot working. that should just be a drive issue, but you can try a new cable/ usb port/ computer. What rom did you have? you should be able to get into its recovery and flash again.

I was stuck in this same situation just last week, fastboot not being recognized and all. What operating systems do you have? I tried 4 (windows xp 32 and 64bit, windows 7 32bit and windows 8 64bit), and only xp would work a few times. So maybe you can try a friend's computer with xp or anything else. Which drivers are you using? because it worked for me with Motohelper, but not the latest drivers. Either way, keep trying different usb ports especially with the Motorola cable. Let me know if anything works, good luck! :thumbup:

I see, that may be why it's so hard to get fastboot to work. :/ The A2 seems to only like working with the Motorola oem cable for many people, especially with AP fastboot. Well try what you can to keep the battery charged, and try what you can.

I would try using Linux. if you don't want to install it, you should just be able to use a live cd of ubuntu or something. it aught to work right off the bat, no drivers needed. you will ahve to use manual fastboot commands though, no fxz (so you will need to install moto-fastboot)

Currently I think it recognizes the phone as a media device (or similar, I forgot the name), not as a disk drive. I am on a Mac, and I have Android File Transfer installed, which then tells me that the device cannot be opened. On Windows it couldn't be opened either although it talked about a driver issue. I currently only have a Mac, but from Monday I could work on a Windows machine again.
The ROM currently being installed is the original AT&T provided ROM.

What version? IS it already installed on your phone? I'm trying to find out if you require MTP drivers or not. Latest version of sense/stock Roms require MTP driver to access the SD card.
In any case I wouldn't suggest using any version of TWRP above 2.3.3.1
So, I would download twrp 2.3.3.1 and check the md5
then fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
select recovery from bootloader then try to mount sdcard with twrp.

Alright, I have tried this with the latest HTC Sync manager: the MTP Drivers however won't install. I have tried with the One X+ of my Dad (which is also brand new, so probably requires the newest version also), and it installs fine and appears as a media device in the explorer. Mine however does not do anything, and driver installation says it fails to install the driver. I have tried manually installing the drivers, however, it seems to have to do with the phone because when I disconnect it suddenly Windows 7 is able to install those drivers, and as mentioned before it also works with a functional phone.
Next week I will be back at work and I have a Windows 8 machine there. I don't have high hopes that it works there, but since there seems to be an MTP driver issue with Win7, maybe there's a chance.
Is there anything else I could do?
Thanks!

Are you rebooting to bootloader to do the fastboot commands? In bootloader it should say Fastboot in red. Then after a couple seconds that should change to Fastboot USB. I don't think fastboot needs the specific drivers to be on the PC like mounting the SD card requires.

You are definitely doing something wrong. fastboot commands only work within bootloader/fastboot and adb commands only work while the rom is loaded up or in sideload mode in TWRP. It's assumed you know this prior to rooting.

Turn off the phone. Then hold volume down and briefly press the power button. Don't let go of volume down until it gets to the boot loader screen. Wait for fast bot USB to display. Then you can try exad's fast boot commands.

Oh, thanks so much. I actually did know this from rooting my old phone - I guess I forgot.
It doesn't go into Fastboot USB though, stays at Fastboot. Is there another trick? Thanks so much!

use cwm

It should change to FASTBOOT USB if you are plugged into a computer. If you connected to the computer after you got to bootloader mode, you might have to press volume up or down to get it to switch to FASTBOOT USB Maybe this is the root of your problem. Have you tried multiple USB cables? Is there any crud in the micro-USB port on your phone? It's a little odd that the micro-USB port would break in a manner that charging would still work but not data connections, but I'm starting to wonder if that isn't the case.

OK, I managed to get into Fastboot USB and now have the SDcard mounted. I'll try flashing a new ROM now. Is this one you'd recommend?
