Nexus s problem while unlocking bootloader

I was unlocking the bootloader so i could root the phone. I was successful but now my phone is stuck on the google screen with the unlocked pad at the bottom.
Through the forum i found that i'm missing the boot image so i found that.
I pulled in my phone to the computer and typed "fastboot flash boot test_boot.img". it comes up with "error: cannot load test_boot"
The same thing happened when i tried to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" aswell to try and fix it that way but the same error came up.
I made sure the file names were correct.
Please help!!

do you have the recovery.img file in the same folder as fastboot?

do you have the proper drivers installed? if not, go directly to PdaNets website http://junefabrics.com/android/ and have it install the proper drivers onto your computer. this way is by far the easiest way to install the drivers. download and install the free program then just follow the directions on the screen.

I do have that installed. I used it to unlock the bootloader. Im trying to reinstall it using the link you provided but the phone doesn't turn on so i dont think it will work. Now in the fastboot screen on my phone it says fastboot status -FAILinvalid command

Update: the FAILinvalid part went away but i think i might have uninstalled the pdaNet when trying to reinstall it.

OK, i did a system restore and now i have pdaNet back. I have no idea how to use it or what to do next.
Please help!
EDIT: when i typed "fastboot devices" into CMD, it shows my device!

take a screenshot of your /sdk/tools folder.
(seriously do it).
OR if you don't want to.. does fastboot appear as "fastboot" or "fastboot.exe" ?

Okay, yeah. I see the problem, your extensions are hidden "recovery.img" is actually "recovery.img.img" so you're fastbooting a invalid file. What I want you to do is on the top left of a Windows explorer, it says Organize. Press that and go to folder options -> view -> hide extensions for known file types (UNCHECK THIS). Rename recovery.img.img so it appears as recovery.img not recovery.img.img
Put your phone in bootloader mode if it isn't already with USB plugged in.
The phone needs to be in bootloader mode in order for it to recognize the fastboot command.

wow, ok so it says writing and sending went "OKAY". I assume that means it worked.

yeah that meant it worked. you can access clockwork menu by going down to RECOVERY in the menu or "adb reboot recovery"
you install a ROM by...
1. Shop around the Dev forums and look for what ROM you want to use. I personally use CM7.
2. Use netarchy's kernel (its worth it).
Steps:
1. Put ROM onto your sdcard
2. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (told you above on how to do it)
3. Wipe Factory, Dalvik, Cache
4. Flash ROM (Proceed to flash CM7 Gapps afterwards if you decide to go with CM7)
5. Flash Kernel (Optional)
6. Reboot!

Ahhh, i updated without looking at your post first. Can i put the kernal on now that ive rebooted?
thank you for your help and time

Help... Trying to flash the newest Tiamat kernal and Clockwork Mod

When I rooted, I used the one click method and worked like a charm. Now, I would like to learn how to flash the files via adb. I am a novice user of adb but have used it.
Right now, I am trying to flash the recovery.img file. Here is what I am getting:

I have the recovery.img file in my /platform-tools folder. When I go to devices, I see my xoom listed and I do screen shots all the time using the ddms.bat file.
Can anyone tell my why my xoom will not let me flash files? I tried this a few weeks ago with the first Tiamat SDCard enabled kernal and it said the same thing, it wouldn't let me flash the file.
Thanks!

Your not actually changing direcotry into the correct directory. so when you call the fastboot command it's looking in the current directory of "c:\Users\Marc" instead.
cd \Program Files(x86)\Android\android-skd\platformtools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovory recovory.img

Did you open the command line from the same folder you have the file you want to use? If not, open the folder you have recovery.img and the other files you will be using are in and hold the shift key on the keyboard and right click on the mouse. Then left click on "open command window here". Then run your adb commands.

Thanks guys, Ill try again.

Does this work using Vista? I do not see the option to "open command window here".

Duh, nevermind... I figured it all out. I was putting a \ after platform-tools so it wasn't actually opening the folder where the recovery.img file was. Told you I was a novice. But I am getting it!

This is why one-clicks are the root of evil. If you would have done it manually from the start, you would have already known what to do here . Also since you posted this in development, i'm looking forward to the release, although i'm unsure what you are releasing at this point...

Ok people... Let's be mature here and not flame other users. This is supposed to be a community, not a war zone. If something is posted in the wrong section, or there's a post that breaks forum rules, drop me a pm or report the post. Thanks!
And this belongs in q and a... Since this is a question. Thread moved.
Please follow forum rules and post in the correct section.

damn, I must have missed some good flaming post! Lol

dont feel too bad
hehe I was doing the same thing for a 1/2 hour before I realized that the recovery.img wasn't even in the same folder...got that sorted out tho..

[Q] ONE+ Chinese Import / Flash to Bacon issue ? SOS

Hi XDA.
I will try and make as much sense as i can as i am new to rooting etc. Please forgive me if i use incorrect terminology.
Ok so i purchased a Chinese One+ and tried to follow instructions on a YouTube video on how to flash it to the current Cy OS.
This didn't work as planned as my One+ said that there was an issue with "E Footer" so i then followed these instructions to install it via command prompt. (being a new user i cannot post an external link to show you the instructions i followed) However a Google search of E footer is wrong will take you straight to them.
This went well and the install was complete however i was unable to get any signal with my phone network EE. The sim works in my nexus 4 so that isn't an issue.
So i now want to re flash the device using the one plus toolkit but i have hit upon a few snags.
1. I have followed the USB driver guide but cannot find the Samsung drivers on the system to show up to allow me to complete the link between the phone and my win 7 machine.
So currently my One+ shows in device manager as A0001 and not a Samsung android device as the guide illustrates.
2. Do i need o unlock bootloader to flash?
3. The download CM115 link when pressed gives a 403 error so i have downloaded CM11s via an external download but am unsure what one file in the package i need to select to start the flash.
This is all academic however until i manage to get the phone to show as a Samsung Android.
Any help would be appreciated as i am stuck.
Thanks J

Download this: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
Extract it, reboot your phone to fastboot, connect it via USB and double click the flashall.bat in the extracted folder.

If this works.....
You sir are a legend
Doing it now.....

Im really sorry but there appears to not be a flashall.bat file within the zip.

Go to command prompt and type fastboot reboot. Does the phone reboot?

Not a problem, anything for a fellow xda user. So fastboot works? Make sure you have the fastboot folder for CM11s on the new PC. Here is the flashall.bat: https://mega.co.nz/#!9UAQRKJS!Kuau0ulgCrxrvE5wBH5Ib54Bv6E64U1RkXje_ONMxUc download it and put it in the folder with the rest of the files and double click it.

Does the phone need to be in fastboot mode?

Right got that working but we now have this..

Maybe try it again and make sure the downloaded file is around 487mb

Ok re-downloading now.
What state should the phone be in to get this to work. Should I have de-bugging enabled and MTP?

I have the stock ROM on USB now, but hè will not install it. When i press the home and enter button and plug the power cable. Hè start up with the MI logo and shuts down, then start up with no screen.
Are there other ways to install the stock ROM?

AFAIK the Stock ROM typically gets installed by means of ADB Sideload method:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <FULL-PATH-TO-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE-ON-PC-HERE>

Didn't think it can be so difficult.
Assumed the Stock ROM's file is located in root of E: drive then the ADB command in your case becomes
Code:
adb sideload E:\<NAME-OF-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE>
where you have to substitute
<NAME-OF-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE>
by ROM's true file name

5. When i zip my stock rom file, i got an another zip file, and an file of 1kb
in the next picture is what i do in CMD

the other 2 are the unzipped files from the first file

1st screenshot provided above shows
1. Device isn't connected via USB-cable with PC or, if, not powered on
2. The ROM's archive name you entered is without fileextension -> required :ZIP
If ROM's archive is packed as .RAR file then you have it to repack to .ZIP file

I think it will not gonna help.
When i connect my projector to the pc, the pc dont recognize him.
What i try, nothing works.

Help!!! my lenovo tab a10-30(tb2x30l) has been bricked!

Hey, This is my first post, hope it goes well
What happened was,
-->I installed a custom rom(LineageOS) with the help of twrp recovery installed from xda(link below) and I have succesfully installed the rom and also intalled root with it
-->Later, after further use of the new rom, ,it was uncomfortable. It was not as fast and compactable as the original rom so I decided to revert back to the official and original rom.
-->But This is where I made a big mistake, I was to try to clear the data and try if the custom rom fixed but instead, I wiped up the whole rom and no backup!!!
-->Now, I cannot go into recovery mode, bootloader and whichever vol+ and vo- and power, all combinations boot me to twrp.
-->luckyly, the adb sideload is working and it is not detected in the lenovo downloader software for me to flash.
Any help? Please help me.
Thanks

Correct.
Search for suitable Stock ROM at your own.

I've searched for over 3 days but no luck.
All I get is the rar file and inside that, firmware folder, drivers and software for flashing it.
If I get the tab into bootloader, I can flash but it does not allow me to go into boot loader, stock recovery.
All it does is to take me back to TWRP.
I have aldready installed around 7-9 stock roms but no zip file with meta inf folder, boot.img, system.img and the other required files.

Please Help

So I searched the WEB for tablet's Stock ROM and found it within seconds.

You flash it either via ADB Sideload method or via Lenovo Downloader Tool.

Hi,
Even I had found the same one.
But how do I flash it via adb sideload?
The problem is, in the zip file, there is drives, firmware and another folder.
