Hi guys, im in desperate need of some XDA professional help.
i tried reverting my nexus s back to the stock rom but somehow ended up clicking on Factory /system. (im a dumbass, i know. but i can only blame this other site for giving bad instructions!)
i can access the CWM bootloader, and i can enter recovery mode.
but every time i try to mount the USB storage through Recovery (so i can put a stock ROM -the nandroid stuff - in there and zip it), i get an error. it says File not found.
Now, I can't access my phone at all.
it's pretty much like a computer with no OS.
is there still a way for me to fix this? or i'm i terribly, terribly screwed?
hope to hear from you guys soon!

just do a full wipe if you've deleted your data already:
- do factory reset, wipe cache
then under mounts and storage: format everything except your sd-card (photo's etc will be lost)
Try to copy your file again and flash... hope this helps
i have your awnser

thank you for your replies, everyone!
i will have to try this =D
although, i was able to solve the problem by using ADB to transfer files to my phone. specifically the Nandroid back up file. now I am running the rooted stock 2.3.1
i am having problems updating it to higher versions though! so i just might have to return to the unrooted stock version. =D i'll have to try it out =D
again, many thanks!

Hi,
since this morning I have this problem that my Nexus S just boots until the Google logo appears.
I have no idea what caused this. I was just reinstalling the youtube app and rebooted after that and it booted.
Then I noticed that my phone would not change the screen orientation and because it worked in the past I started another reboot. But then it got stuck at the Google logo.
To solve this problem I just wanted to flash my nandroid backup but that didn't work as well cause the recovery was not able to mount the sdcard.
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? By the way is it possible to pull the Nandroid backup from the phone to my computer with ADB for example. Would be great because (of course) I just have an backup on my phone... (but if not... well, **** happens)
Thanks in advance!

Go to mounts and storage in CWM Recovery and "mount usb storage". That will let you get to your SD card to backup. Then I suggest just a clean wipe and start over.
Note: mount /sdcard just mounts it to the phone. You are wanting to mount it to your computer to pull the files off the external.

Yup thank you. Already tried that and a lot of other stuff. Seems like my phone's broken. I can't write on or erase /system or /sdcard. I'll try today to lock the bootloader and then unlock it. Maybe that solves the problem...
It will also wipe everything if I remember well

It's interesting and maybe fortuite that this is happening to you just as something almost equal happens to me (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972447 ) You should also enter the recovery via adb from your computer if you have it, and check if a) you have mmc* files in /dev/block and b) have mmc error messages in dmesg (in the phone: "dmesg|grep mmc" and look for lines with "error" in them).
Btw to the person who suggested flashing stock thorough fastboot, do you mean stock system, system+boot or system+boot+recovery ? and where could I find those stock .img please? Mine's an i9020a

Factory Images for Nexus Devices
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Hi ^^
I had the same problem with my Nexus S a long time ago and never found out how to solve it. It seems that the internal memory is corrupted and nothing but replacing the motherboard can solve it. Since I bought mine in the USA but I live in Belgium I never got mine repaired. Sometimes I come back here to see if there is still no solution but each time I'm disappointed...
Sorry.

I can confirm this. I had the same thing happen to my Nexus S 4G recently. I was never able to salvage any data off the sdcard no matter what I tried (various mounting attempts in recovery, any adb command I thought might be helpful, etc.). As a last resort I tried to lock/unlock the bootloader - once I locked it, I was unable to unlock it again, it just froze up after asking me if I was sure I wanted to unlock. I guess that's what happens when the internal sdcard goes to hell. I ended up taking it to my local Sprint store and they replaced the phone with a refurbished one from Samsung (for approximately $35).
Rooted my N5 yesterday and it was working fine. Then today, I was trying to flash the Camera app from Jinshu when I got stuck on the dancing circles screen... went back into TWRP recovery and, I think, accidentally flashed the entire internal storage...
I can still get into TWRP, but when I click reboot > system , I get a warning message "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" :crying:
I am using a Mac and have the SDK etc. installed, but I don't even see the device as a USB device in order to try and figure out how to get the system files back on the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
A
You've got a few options...forgive me if you've tried any of these already...I'm just offering ideas for you to find one that works for you...
1) restore a nandroid backup if you have one
or
2) ADB sideload a zip for one of the roms in the development sections
or
3) ADB push then flash a zip from the development sections
or
4) Flash the factory images using fastboot

Download this ROM (Odex)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507861
Boot in TWRP, and either use adb sideload:
./adb sideload path_to_hammerhead_KRT16M_odex_signed.zip
or use adb push
./adb push path_to_hammerhead_KRT16M_odex_signed.zip /data/media/0
Then proceed with flashing it from recovery.
Yep, you have plenty of options so don't panic. Personally, I'd use this as an opportunity to teach yourself how to setup and use ADB and Fastboot commands to flash factory images. Once you teach yourself how to do this properly you will no longer get overly concerned when another situation like this inevitably occurs. This will be a learning experience that you will benefit from later on.
If you are on a Mac, follow THIS GUIDE to properly setup ADB/Fastboot for use. Then use THIS GUIDE to learn how to properly flash a factory image.
Thanks for your quick responses guys...
While I was searching, I found this site: liciousroms dot com slash nexus5_restore.html (sorry, cannot post URLs just yet!)
I was able to get the stock .img files from the download package for system, recovery and boot, and as you guys pointed out, learned the utility of fastboot to get the images onto the device
Recovered, booted, and just getting back in business.
Thanks so much !!!

For other folks that will run into this problem, note that TWRP 2.6.3.1 supports USB OTG. You can load a ROM into an sd card, plug it into the USB OTG cable and then into the phone and TWRP will mount it.

A few things:
1) I wouldn't download stock images from any websites other than official. People could bake in all kinds of stuff. There's no need for other sites to re-host official stock images, so there's usually a reason why they would.
2) I mean no offense by this, but if you're unsure enough in what you're doing to accidentally format the entire internal storage then you should do a lot more research before attempting this stuff. This is reversible, your next accident might not be. I don't ordinarily assume, but judging by your username and the accident you've committed I'd assume you're fairly young...so blowing another $400 on a new device because you bricked this one from a mistake is probably a big deal. Take some time and understand, completely, what you're doing.
3) That being said, Nexus devices are made to be open. They're made for people to modify and have fun with. Explore and experiment all you want, just make sure to have a good NANDROID backup before you do.

Good point. I'll reflash to the openrecovery-twrp-xxx version shortly anyway, but the point is valid and I'll make sure to have an official image and regular NANDROID backups handy for future experiments

Use "adb push" to copy a zip from your PC to your phone.
The command would be like this:

Boot into boot loader and use the flash-all.bat that's inside the factory image. Unzip it using 7-zip. You'll see it in there. Boot into bootloader, plug your usb cable in and run the bat file

How can I unzip a file from the factory image on my phone if it is on desktop? Am I missing something (thanks for tolerating this)?
At this point I could care less about loosing any apps, data, or pics,
So after a few weeks after the launch of the Marshmallow uptade, I flashed the stock image with fastboot using a Mac and everything gone flawlessly, until I saw my internal storage. My 32Gb nexus became a 16Gb model.
I search in EVERY Forum I found on the internet, and I have good skills on recovering android phones with software problems, all the "how-to's" I found were with very easy instructions, but NONE of then worked for me.
Ive tried EVERYTHING I found on the internet. Do a factory reset, tried to resize the partition using TWRP, flashed manually all the partitions, flashed the stock image again and again many times, flashed customs roms, tried to erase the userdata, cache and system partitions tons of times using flashtool on windows, mac and linux and NOTHING worked. In all the process my phone started with no problems, but my internal storage stayed 12,55gb. My Bootloader shows 32Gb model, the IMEI on LG database shows 32Gb model AND the logic board indicates a 32Gb model... I really don't know what to do! Anyone can save me???? Thanks!
In advance information, I followed every step on this guide at least 10 times, and didn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I was thinking in the possibility of an custom Userdata partition, only for the 32Gb model, that I can flash manually or a program, like GParted, that I can manually resize the data partition.
I'm really desesperate here, so sorry for any english mistakes, since I speak portuguese, or any dumb idea.
Thanks for any help!
-------------------------------------- FOUND THE SOLUTION! ----------------------------------------------
After WEEKS trying to realize what the hell happened and rethinking every possible form to regain my full storage, I've found the solution.
Fiddling with the partitions on the phone, i learned that there is a partition on the system, that "informs" the userdata that the phone is a 16Gb or a 32Gb variant, and it's called "Primary GPT".
I realized that the guy who sold to me, recovered the phone from an brick it suffered, but he used a 16Gb model GTP partition to reinstall the bootloaders and the system, so, no matter how many different process I tried, I would NEVER recognizes the 32Gb, because THIS partition was telling the system that it was a 16Gb model.
(Little of a noob explain but that was the way I got it...)
So all I had to do was use this thread to reflash the correct GPT partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
And then, reflash the complete system image file, and after the boot, my phone recognized the 32Gb internal storage again!
Thank you guys for the effort in sorting out any way to help me, I hope this thread can help someone else facing the same problem in the future!
Peace!

Tried everything I could do... Flashed userdata partition, erased the partition with fastboot then entered in recovery mode (stock and custom) and then format the userdata from there, doing that by doing a factory reset and wiping cache partition and nothing...
Any other idea what it could be?
Unfortunately, I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it as I only have the 16 GB version.

Have you tried factory reset and wiping cache from STOCK recovery? That always works for me.
Try using flash-all.bat in Windows. Part of the stock favor image. Make sure to take backup before doing it though

I've always done things manually but there comes a time when your willing to try whatever to fix your phone as they don't come cheap, so if I could recommend a toolkit that has saved my ass more than once and has worked flawlessly for me every time maybe it could help you too.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It's called Nexus Root Toolkit and its by the developer wugfresh. Try this if you'd like, if not I hope you find a solution. This kit has everything you can think of that could help you with rooting, or returning to stock and relocking. Best of luck with your journey!

The wrong size memory issue, 16 Gb instead of 32, is an old issue. It can be solved by booting into the stock recovery then clearing cache and then doing a factory reset. Note, this will wipe your device.

Is someone able to help me? I messed up in a big way. Long story short, I cannot seem to get the DATA partition back on my phone. I did read the part about encryption but was so excited I (Yes, confirmed dummy) was thinking that it meant android encryption and not simply lockscreen/password.
My passcode is correct, but the data is corrupted. I cannot repair the Data partition, nor can select it in TWRP. My computer no longer recognizes the phone. My backup somewhat works but not really, since the data part of the backup can't be installed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I read the entire thread and thought I was prepared but nope. Or do I need to go phone shopping?

Thanks! That worked and it was super super easy.
