[Q] help please! stuck on google logo

Guys i rooted the build GRH78C so i know how to root
i put the new build GRI40 that removes the root access by restoring it from rom manager.
but i was so stupid thinking that superboot for the build GRH78C can also root the new build GRI40. I did then it rebooted but stuck on google logo.
is there any solution?
if i tried the superboot for the new build when it comes out will it work?
does that mean my nexus s will not work forever?
please help

boot into recovery mode
then load another ROM
as a last resort you can use the Odin method, if you are unable to use fastboot methods

after flashing GRI40 by restoring from rom manager i got stuck 2.3.3 unrooted!
if i boot into recovery mode it only recognizes update.zip and passing.zip
i thought of moving update.zip into the internal memory so recovery can recognize it but i cant the phone doesn't have a sd card.
please help

I manage to try this and have the same fate.
To fixit ,is easy. Follow the following.
Fastboot write the original boot.img from GRH78C to the phone,
Boot into recovery, re-apply update.zip
Once done, you are back in business.

Alternatively you can do the following:
1) Download the newest version of CWM from here (Google Nexus S, near the bottom of the list)
2) Boot your phone to the bootloader
3) Type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
4) Go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage
5) Download a different ROM like CM and place it on the root of your SDcard
6) Flash it
7) Golden!

Hi SWEETTOOTH, if your still stuck on the Google screen can I suggest Odin as a way forward (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947950) , it wll flash you back to stock 2.3.1, but it will you keep the latest baseband that ships with 2.3.3 (I9020XXKB1). I have used it twice with no problems.
You can then re root and proceed down another path?

guys please help i bought it last week now it doesnt work at all.
how to push update.zip with adb?
how to solve Permission denied problem?

Okay, if you want to test to see if fastboot sees your device do this:
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get an output on that, it sees your phone. Now assuming that works and assuming I understand what is happening to you correctly do exactly as I say:
1) Download and unzip this file and place on your desktop and place the recovery image into that folder.
2) Boot your phone into the bootloader
3) Type or copy the following into your terminal exactly
Code:
~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
that *should* work to get you into the custom recovery. From there do this:
1) Go to mounts and storage and chose mount USB storage.
2) Go to this thread and download either of them (one of them is rooted one of them is not. If you want to be rooted, download the rooted one if not download the unrooted).
3) Unzip the file to the root of your SDcard (it should be a folder called clockworkmod).
4) Eject the drive from your computer and select unmount on your phone.
5) Go to backup and restore and select restore and select the one named GRI40-2.3.3 or something like that (can't remember exactly what its named).
6) Reboot your phone. Follow the other instructions about how to prevent the stock recovery from overwriting CWM and how to flash CWM etc.

Did it work?

it says
/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img
cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img'
i feel like giving up all i need is to install the recovery but there's something wrong
fastboot cant see my device

Did you install the Android ask and the Nexis s drivers?

Its no problem man, everyone should be able to use their phones however they like and rooting isn't easy. Sometimes people need a little help I know I did at first! hehe

Sweet, I have one last idea actually... try this:
Download this SDK http://www.box.net/shared/ljhg8t5sjh it should have everything including an older version of CWM which should still work (again unzip it to your desktop) and try using this command:
Code:
~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img
If it works you can flash the newest version of CWM through rom manager later.

Sweettooth, is your bootloader unlocked? Do you gave the unlocked padlock icon on the bottom of the screen when you first turn on phone and have Google logo?
If your bootloader got updated to gri40 you can't fastboot boot or fastboot flash if youre locked.
Try the fastboot oem unlock command from Mac Terminal, you can always say no to the warning that pops up if you dont want to go further. Be aware that oem unlock will wipe all data off the phone including sdcard photos and stuff.

[Q] home to root

please dont shout, just take pitty on me.
I have been getting into the world of rooting and have used the HTC Bootloader unlock, and have installed clockwork. i then had a few issues but managed to get some roms working but Im still not fully understanding exactly what im doing.
but i can flash by:
1. Power on'ing and vol down,
2. fastboot - bootloader - loading PG58IMG
3. recovery -wipe data/factory reset - yes
4. install zip from sdcard - chose zip from sdcard - Sensation_3.32.401.5_deodexed - Yes
5. wait for: install from sdcard complete
7. go back - rebootsystem now
Ive tried a few roms, 2 didnt work but this is the 3rd (Sensation_3.32.401.5_deodexed) that has loaded up.
My issue is I dont get how to get my wireless to work. If someone could give simple instructions Id be more than helpfl as all guides i read are too full of jargon. . . . .im not afraid to hit your thanks buttons . . .
Thanks
Tim
PS
my cid is VADAP001

Hi,
Are you talking about wifi?
Have you got a router?

When you use HTC Dev to unlocj your bootloader it does unlock the Recovery, System, and Boot partitions to allow your device to write to those partitions and not just read rose partitions. But Terri is a catch, if you want to flash a custom recovery you have to use ABD fastoot commands to flash it. When you flash as ROM in a .zip file via Recovery, it only flashes the System partition. You then have to open the dot zip file and extract the boot.img and then use ADB fastboot commands to flash the boot.img to your boot partition. If you do not you will still have the boot.img of the ROM you was using before you flashed te New ROM.
Now let me explain the boot.img a little so you know why it is so important. The boot.img does just watt te name implies, it is what boots the Android ROM on your device. Now let me explain this a little further, the Android OS runs on top of eat is called a Lenox kernel. This means that your bootloader boots the Lenox kernel and the hardware of the device. The Lenox kernel then boots the Android OS. The kernel is also te connection between the hardware and the Android OS. So you see if the kernel is not compatible with the system that is on te system partition you will have troubles like WiFi not working or other I hardware reliant functions. So when you flash a new ROM and you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for te ROM are you will more than likely have troubles.

Malybru, i do have a router but my wifi wont turn on so i cant connect to it.

That is very informative thanks T-Macgnolia. I understand the theorybut i cant work out the process?
How do i get to flash the boot image?
If i go into my rom folder on my pc then try to open the boot file i just get a Windows Disc Image Burner message box asking me to burn to disc.
I used to burn images using virtal drives when making dvds. Will i need to do the same again here with a virtual drive?
Can you break the process down for me?

First you have to download and install the Android SDK. Here is a video by Elite Recognized Developer Adam Outler that shows you how to install the Android SDK. After you have the SDK installed and all the packages are downloaded and installed. Take the boot.img and copy it to the same folder in ADB that has fastboot in it. Now while you are in the folder with fastboot in it hold down the shift key and right click anywhere on the screen and select "open command promt here". This will open a command promt with you already on the right directory. Now boot your Sensation into Hboot by holding the volume down button down while booting your Sensation. when in Hboot select fastboot and connect your Sensation to your computer with your USB cable. Now type the following into the command promt.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That is all it is to it. Also the boot.img is a iso file that is why you get that message when you try to open it. You have to use a Android kitchen or another program that can decompile the file if you want to open it and look around.

You sir deserve a big pint of something great. Point by point I:
1. I already had sdk installed so didnt need to install this.
2. I cleared the phone back to factory with Recovery (Power on with holding -Vol, RECOVERY, Wipe data/Factory Reset, Power Off)
3. I went into HBOOT (by powering on holding down -vol)
4. Opened FASTBOOT and connected phone to computer via USB
5. Opened up command prompt on PC (start menu, typed cmd in the search box)
6. I then Typed the following:
7. "cd c:\Android" (to get me into the folder where my files are)
8. "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
9. this then loaded my boot file and bosh, Im done.
I then restarted the phone and bobs your mothers brother Im using wiresless again. Its such an easy process but on the first go it seems like rocket science.
You cant appreciate how greatful i am for your help. Thank you more than a lot.
If i chose a different ROM at what point is it best to do this stage? Are you able to do this to the boot image before you use recovery to 'insatll zip from sd card'? Or do you have to install then come back to it like i did?

For every custom rom you install you need to follow the same procedure.
1. First flash/install the rom via recovery
2. Get the boot.img and flash it via fastboot (some rom's have more than one kernel then choose the best you want)
As long as you stay in HTC unlocked bootloader the above steps are necessary to flash the rom completely to prevent bootloops and wifi errors

I got Android Revolution fully working, but I'm trying to flash the newest OC Kernel of SebastianFM over it. But his zip doesn't have a "boot.img", it does however contain the following: mkbootimg, mkbootimg.sh and unpackbootimg. Is it any of those I need to flash, if not, which "boot.img" do I flash then?

Hi,
I believe the boot.img refers to the ROM you are flashing.
This is a kernel.
So,make a nandroid backup,
wipe cache and dalvik,
and flash the kernel from the root of the sd card,choosing install zip from sd card in recovery.

Post 3 in this thread explains exactly where the problem is. But ........you will never unlock that boot partition if ur phone is S-ON. The trick with the wire works...it took me couple of times to do it but it worked. Then.....the lates ViperS version does it for you. You do not have to use ADB or whatever that program was to flash the boot.img It is all in the ROM. I even flashed the newest bricked 1.4 kernel on top.....but that 3rd comment is the key to all problems with Wi-Fi and other kernel issues:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[Q] *HELP* Sensation stuck in boot loop

im trying to install this ROM on my Sensation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 (ARHD) - the ICS version.
So im following the instructions it points to here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
So my phone was running stock gingerbread. So i follow the instructions.
I successfully S-off the phone.
Then i did the PG58IMG.zip thing --- successfully updates --- but now the phone is in boot loop?? it says there it should reboot to home screen? I can still get to the bootloader menu but recovery or any of those options dont work?
I have tried googling but all those threads get so technical. I AM A COMPLETE UTTER AND DISGUSTING NOOB.
Please can someone give me a step by step easy to understand directions to fix my phone? please please?

To be honest the same thing happened to me when i first flashed an ICS rom.
What i did was that i connected the memory card to my PC using an adapter and deleted the PG851MG file.
Then i moved on to flashing my ICS rom (Virtuous inquisiton) and it worked out quite good.
But traditionally it should boot back after flashing the firmware.It has never happened to me again.
Thats my experience. I dont thnk tat nething should go wrong, but still the phones at your own risk. Do go thru other posts in the forum b4 u do nething.

Ohk here are the steps u need to follow.
1-Turn Off ur phone
2-Boot into boot loader (by holding volume down + power button)

CWM means clockwork recovery mod.
download the attachment. place it in your sd card.
Bootloader will automatically detect the file and update it.
I believe you have ur phone S-OFF b4 u are attempting this

Stop everything. I'll give you a simple solution.
Follow this step by step.
WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]-
1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below
2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting
Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB
1. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
2. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
3. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
4. enter the command "fastboot reboot"
5. You can now flash any ROM you like.
Quoted from here.

Updating the firmware
This step is MANDATORY otherwise you ROM will not boot. Please take a look at the firmware thread so you can understand what you are about to do.
After updating the firmware you will have the 3.32 firmware with unlocked bootloader. Which basically means that you can use advanced fastboot commands, such as: flash new radios and splashscreens
Download any firmware from here.
Copy the PG58IMG.zip file you've downloaded to the root of the sdcard. Root of the sd card mean that you can't put the file inside any folder. Also, you can't rename the file. Please keep the PG58IMG otherwise the bootloader won't recognize it.
Power off your phone or remove the batt and put it back again.
Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
Wait for the firmware package to be found and confirm to update as prompted
Once it completed successfully and prompted you to reboot, pull the battery out.
Connect your SD card to the PC and remove the PG58IMG.zip file.
Quoted from here

Download the zips for SuperWipe & your ROM and put them on your memory card.
Hold volume-down + tap the power button once to boot into the bootloader.
Press vol down to highlight Recovery and press the power button to select it.
Next, select Install zip from SDcard and touch to navigate to the location of the Super Wipe zip and select it.
Once it is done, you will be rebooted to Recovery. Again choose Install from SD card and this time navigate to the ROM and select it.
After the install is finished, go back to main recovery menu and select reboot.
That's it, you're good to go.
This will work, I'm a 100% positive on that.

Ok thanks for the help! Guess I can't just flash the rom from recovery?

also, one more quick question. Do I flash the boot.img after I flash the rom from recovery or before?

I've done it both ways and it doesn't really seem to matter, but it is usually easier to do it before, as it is done in fastboot, and it is easier to get into recovery from fastboot than the other way around.

Where do I go from here?
Flashed the boot img from GUI flash on the preceding rom. Did the wipe and installed from the sd card file I have there with roms listed. Thing went fine. the Cyanogen circle came up and booted to the "updateing apps" that went fine now its stuck on "unfortunately , the process com.android phone has stopped. and ok below that.
What do I do now, I hit ok and the message comes back up. I see Welcome in blue letters behind and set language behind that .

Did you restore anything in titanium backup? If not full wipe and reflash

You can follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982442 to downgrade your hboot to 1.09, then you wouldn't need to flash boot.img any more. But you have to be very careful. I bricked mine half way through it, but managed to unbrick it finally.

Can you get to bootloader? Do you know what firmware version or hboot you have? I doubt you've tried everything as boot loops are easily fixed..

Send the recovery img to your xoom with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
Then press power and vol up to reboot once at the M count 1 2 3 then press volume down. Then volume up to selext recovery. Once in twrp recovery flash your su.zip (ensure its compatabile with your current os version) and reboot. Then enjoy. When you select reboot twrp will prompt u to delete two files (if your stock) these two files will reinstall stock recovery if they r not deleted or renamed.
You can get the twrp recovery from my sig

Gone over it a hundred times in my thread so before you tell me im wrong, a replace your sd card or b why put the su zip on your sd card? Put it on the internal memory.
Edit... wait your trying to flash the img from your sdcard? Thats not possible
You need to read the OP on my thread on how to install twrp img NOT the zip

Ive told you already you can not flash a recovery from stock recovery. You are not reading the op of my thread. Or any other threads on how to do this.
The same method of unlocking the bootloader in fastboot is how you have to flash the recovery unless u already have a custom recovery.
Download the twrp IMG from my op to your computer, save it to your folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are.
Boot your tablet into fast boot mode (just like you did when you unlocked the bootloader)
From the folder that adb and fastboot are open cmd prompt
Type
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
The tablet should read out that its flashing. In the cmd prompt it should read out that its flashing also.
Once done type
fastboot reboot
Then when the tablet starts to boot you will see the red M count 1 2 3 then press volume down then volume up to select recovery. You are booting into TWRP

thanks bud, i try

If you still need help, here is a FAIL proof way... so that there is no mis understanding
watch this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-7wfZw0wj0&feature=youtu.be
then this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koxgbdQuzOQ
then remember to boot STRAIGHT into recovery after flashing, if you fail to do so the stock rom has two scripts in it that install stock recovery on EVERY BOOT. if you boot to android your custom recovery WILL BE over written
once you boot into TWRP and have finished your flashing and select reboot TWRP will detect the two scripts and prompt you to delete them or your custom recovery will be over written and you will have to re flash ( VIA fastboot like in the first video) again
