[Q] I messed it all up in nexus s!

First of all,
I updated to 4.0.3
then i would like to root my phone..
I used a guide found on the nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ and then i installed rom manager free from market and i tried flashing cwm recovery inside rom manager.
But rom manager was fc and i decided to google it to find an other way to install cwm recovery.
Then i found this guide nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-force-your-nexus-s-into-clockworkmod-recovery/ and i followed this exactly, hoping that it could be easy to flash the new 4.0.3 rom again.
When i try to open bootloader mode and select recovery a sparking android is showing up an then only the lights from the touch keys are glowing.!
When i press either (Vol- and Power) or Power Clockwork Mod recovery shows up and when i try to install zip from sd it shows status 7 installation aborted. I searched forums that proposed to wipe all data and dalwik data.
I did all these and also status7 shows up every time i try to flash a rom.
I ask for your help!!!

updated your cwm recovery to 5.x.x.x. and dont expect help or no one will help, ask for help instead.

you are right i wrote by mistake.

I managed to revive my beloved nexus!!!!
All that i've done is to also force my nexus to boot from the latest cwm found at its website and also downloaded stock ics rom found at rom manager site and all ok!!!

I suggest you to download the stock gingerbread for your model from Rom Manager and install it as update.zip. That will unroot your phone. So root it again and try flashing new roms (cm9 or ICS). You should flash kernel after flashing the rom.

[GUIDE] Root + CWM Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 / S7500L - Easy Way

Download CWM Recovery.7z from attachments. Extract Recovery.tar
Download Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.7z (or newer from http://androidsu.com/superuser/). Extract Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and copy it to your SD card (internal or external).
Put your phone in Download mode. Flash Recovery.tar using Odin.
Put your phone in Recovery mode. Flash Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from recovery
Reboot and ready
Thanks developers!

So no need to make kernel un secure?

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

Android System Recovery (3e) problem
i flashed "recovery.tar" as PDA via Odin3...then went into recovery mod but it say "Android System Recovery (3e)"..i think its Samsung's default recovery ... so where is CWM???

hi guys!
i have a problem with my ace plus and i have to bring it to a warranty center.. so i have to restore the stock rom and un-root.. any help?
is there a guide to do it? do you know where i can find the stock rom?
thanks a lot

If I root my phone, any advantage in the new root between old 1....

Can someone help me?
My Galaxy Ace Plus (S7500) doesn't want to boot in download mode

Thanks guys, great work
However, my Ace plus is GT - S7500W (London 2012 limited edition)
Is there anyway to root it?
Thanks so much!

Hi, Is there a easy way to unroot this method? Do all my files and settings remain intact when using this root method?
Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------
The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

here is Android 4.1.2 for Galaxy ace plus working

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

Just flashed recovery and i'm having the same issue. Original 2.3.6 installed never touched.

Custom Recovery flashed, but not working

I recently rooted my LG Optimus one (2.3.3) using the superoneclick method. I then installed ROM manager and flashed the custom recovery successfully. After that, when I chose to boot into recovery, the device booted into standard recovery and formatted my phone. This has been happening ever since and I am unable to boot into custom recovery and am ending up formatting my phone again and again.
Also, when I flashed the custom recovery, ROM manager flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 (LGE optimus one (Old baseband)), but I have been told that my phone has the new BB as it is running stock 2.3.3. Please help me regarding this issue.
Also, I am unaware if this the right place to post this question. could the mods please move it to the right section if I am wrong ?
Thank You

Thank you. I'll try this. In order to run CM 10, is it necessary for my recovery to be from CWM? or is it possible to run CM 10 with an AmonRa recovery installed ?

Brother may have messed up my phone!

Hey everyone,
My little brother is trying to learn more things about mobile devices and wanted to have a go at my old piece of junk, stock optimus one p500h. So i let him have a go and now it's not working so here is the problem.
First he rooted it and that worked fine with gingeroot and then proceeded to install romanager which bricked the phone but he was able to recover the phone with a recovery.img and using LGMDP-v1.5 and emergency mode.
After that he installed some android system recovery thing "RA-thunderg-1.2.0-gnn" not sure what the software was originally, regardless he tried flashing from the flash from zip from sdcard and used a cyanogenmod zip which he said worked and then the phone said success and rebooted.
Now the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod loading screen and will not boot.
I am able to get into the recovery menu with home,down and power and emergency mode also works.
Where did he go wrong and what does he need to do in order to get this to work properly? Thanks for your help everyone and sorry if the post is a bit disjointed i'm trying to translate what he's saying into the post xD

If running a Windows PC and the device can boot in to fastboot, you can use Android Flash Recovery ( link in my signature ) to flash another recovery image. There are some more complicated ways using ADB, but well try to avoid them ATM You can also use LGMDP to flash a different recovery image. There are several floating around here at XDA.
As for where he went wrong, I cannot say. Piece of advice, if in doubt - don't do it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then attempt to boot to Andorid?

thanks for the fast reply, looks like recovery is gone now? I had attempted to clear the cache though. Would you mind giving me a step by step as im unsure of what i need to do now xD not sure what i need downloaded or to do what with what after my brothers done all this haha

Just flash a recovery from LGMDP for your phone.. then download a rom for your phone and wipe everything in recovery and flash the rom
And do not flash stock rom from kdz or lgmdp if you cannot boot your phone. It has high chances of bricking

ok now it's running again and sadly it's giving me an unkown baseband and no service now! I tried flashing to the old legacy baseband for cyanogenmod 7.2 / 2.3.7

Cm7(except a very old one from mik_os), stock gb and up requires new baseband. You can search for baseband fix and install through recovery ( I don't remember if it's old bb fix or new bb fix, try for yourself )
You can also search how to install new bb permanently but it's more difficult and has(I think) chances of bricking your phone

[Q] Trouble with my LG...

Hey there. I have a big problem with my LG P920. I've rooted it, and flashed CWM With Rom Manager on it. When I made a backup, I have some problems as it has got stuck on the LG Logo on start up. I fixed it anyhow, so I tried installing the Rom now. When I rebooted into CWM Recovery, it gets stuck at the LG Logo again.. Any tips ? Thanks !
(wanted to flash ICS! )

are you on GB or ICS in any case you probably need WKparts bootloader so go and install that first if you want to flash ICS from GB do you need to follow this Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqC5qw6WRaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Im on Android 2.3.3 or something haha.
Edit : That Guide doesnt work for me as "Ports" aren't showing up for me at Device Manager.
