Can you get back to recovery to flash a new ROM?
I have flashed many ROMS recently to try them out and also had a similar issue with one or two of them.
On my Note 2 I hold power, home and volume up to cycle power and get back to recovery and simply flash a new ROM, presto...

everytime i.flash a rom. i format everything. it might be you flashed a corupt file. redownload reflash

I did a system format from MOUNT partition in cwm

Not sure what is going on but here is how I flash a ROM from recovery and so far so good.
Copy rom file to external sd card in phone.
Do a full factory wipe, cache and dalvik.
Install rom.
Install Gapps if necessary or desired.
Wipe cache and dalvik again.
Reboot
Note that some roms will give you a recommended list of what to wipe if doing a new install or upgrade of that rom, if such instructions exist its best to follow those instead but the above has worked for me for a while now.

That's what is advised to do before flashing a completely different ROM anyway by some. From recovery, flash the ROM again, and if the ROM is not corrupted (check md5 or whatever comes with it), you should be good to go.

Are you talkin about the unrooting section of this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088494
you need to flash a recovery via fastboot, go into recovery and wipe the phone, flash the latest cyanogenmod, and flash the latest gapps.
there are a bunch of guides in the nexus s general forums, and in the development forums.
See this is why I hate one click root methods. When something goes wrong you don't know how to fix it.
Flash a recovery using fastboot. Then wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Mount storage and transfer the rom you want to flash. Then choose install from zip. Then reboot and you should be up a d running.

Error Formatting System

Ok I am new to this phone and have done a lot of reading and have already flashed 3 roms on my phone and I set up the Flash Clockworkmod Recovery the real one and not the rom manager version. For some reason I now get a Error when trying to format system to flash another Rom and when I go to wipe dalvik cache it does not even let me go into to wipe that is there something I'm missing I have not see this problem with no one else.
Are you shouting down your phone and turning it back on holding power+volume down. Don't use rom manager to reboot to recovery it may be taking you to the fake cwm on your memory card.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Perhaps try re flashing cwm with nvflash
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It's weird the only way I'm able to flash a rom is when I go into rom manager and I go to backup rom through there.
It sounds like the real recovery didn't flash. Make sure you install the apx drivers correctly and check in device manager that your pc sees the phone.

Follow this topic you might have installed an older version I believe the first few we had did that. Make sure you shut down and use (power+volume down) to get to cement it is much safer.
Also are you try the factor reset in cwm or trying to do the advanced- format system. The advanced- format system requires you to first mount the system to do so.

[Q] I have CWM and TWRP installed, is that OK?

Hi guys.
Two weeks ago I upgraded my P920 from stock GB 2.3.5 to xbsall's ported ICS 4.0.4 and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.5 (Touch).
This weekend I flashed xbsall's custom ICS v5.2, which includes Team Win Recovery Project v2.2.2.1 (Touch).
Now I have both Recoveries installed and working!
I can access CWM through 3D+Power+Vol UP and TWRP through 3D+Power+Vol Down.
Is this normal? Will this create any problem?
I had the same setup only with acuras touch recovery instead of the 6.0.1.5
I flashed stuff from both, backed up and restored from both with no problems that i had knowledge of. Im trying darkroom international v2 now which i flashed from xbsa5.2 through the same touch recovery after wiping cache/dalvik/data/format data/format system...no problems what so ever, still have recovery and running fine.

I think you have one recovery installed on separate partition and the other one on system
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda app-developers app
True that. On Xbsa5.2 twrp recovery is on system partition. Both will work but twrp will disappear if you wipe your system. Cwm should stay on recovery.

Does that mean it's ok and no problem will appear?
If you flash a new rom through twrp and format system you will just loose twrp. Same if you wipe system with cwm but either way you will still have cwm on your recovery partition. You can easily change that by flashing twrp through the fast boot tool though if you want it back but you can only have one recovery on the recovery partition at once. XBSA rom is just awesome enough to have the temporary recovery included on system. No matter what you do though, they all will work fine but i repeat if you wipe system you will loose the twrp recovery you have now. Until you do though you have both so use whatever you like

I'm confortable with CWM, so there's no problem if I loose TWRP.
Plus, can I delete TWRP to gain system space?

Have patience,wait for 10-15 minutes.
First of all, you shouldn't have used Rom manager. It bricks our device
Read the guide in the top of general section and install a proper recovery from odin.
Maybe the zip you have downloaded is corrupted. So download it again and try.
Make sure you are on official gingerbread(2.3.x) and not froyo(2.2)
If none of this works,there is something seriously wrong with your device.
But don't worry,you can flash stock via odin and revert back to factory state.

Which customize ROM?
For customize ROM you need with ODIN instal Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339640
Now you can install custom ROM. Go in CWM and go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition in Advanced wipe dalvik cashe. Install ROM and again go on wipe data reset, wipe cashe partition and in Advanced, go on wipe dalvik cashe. Reboot phone. It need wait about 5 minutes for system up.

Do this straight away:-
1. Flash Froyo 2.2.1(4 package) of ur country.
2. Then flash Gingerbread 2.3.6(one package) of ur country.
3. Then flash cwm via Odin.
4. Flash the custom rom thereafter.
Since it seems a bit complex issue, u need to try this to ensure zero errors.:sly: Btw u can try above steps in ur spare time.
As for me, I always try all methods that I know b4 concluding anything.

Reboot to recovery, Wipe cache.
I did it no use...
What about sending it for repair again, then when it comes back do a nandroid restore of your data only (not system and other partitions), see whether that works.
