NEXUS S bricked? Can't be detected on PC

Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus S i9020T that I think I have bricked. What I did is that I was trying to flash a ROM and by mistake I formatted the SD, and USB storage. And since then when I reboot, I only see the GOOGLE sign with a blue bar underneath. I have the clockworkmod working for me but I can't mount my USB storage or SD card to copy any files from computer because the computer does not detect it. I installed ADB properly, and I had PDAnet installed as well. but for some reason when I try to open PDAnet, it gives me errors and asks for reinstallations as there are files that are in conflict or something. and now I have a device that can't be detected on computer but can be rebooted in to recovery. I will be grateful if one of you guys helped me out with this.

here are drivers maybe different than what you have

[Q] unable to mount USB storage with CWM

I trying to flash new ROM
PC is able to use fastboot utilities ok but just wont detect it as a removable storage device so i cant load any ROMS onto the SD
i try to mount USB with CWM and it gives the error E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
if i let the phone try to boot normaly i get about 10 seconds of home screen and it reboots and cycle continues.
but while phone is connected and running home screen i get a new CD drive which i cant access and also device manager reports HTC with drivers required.
problem is HTC dont have drivers and phone re boots within 10 or so seconds and when it does the device vanishes
ive read through all the threads with similar issues but none have solved my problem.
my phone is bricked until i solve this and im freaking out cause its only 5 days old.
ive been reading forum for past 2 days and nothing has helped me

USB mount has never worked on CWM for our device (Snapdragon S4 version of the One X). Its a known issue.
CWM doesn't really support our device, its just a port. And it has huge issues (USB mount being just one of them) because of that. You can install a custom recovery that actually supports our device, TWRP. Head over to the Development forum and find the TWRP thread, and it should tell you how to flash TWRP over adb.
Most (if not all) of our devs recommend being on TWRP.

[Q] How to reinstall my phone after a data/system format in cwm?

Accidentally corrupted my phone by flashing an old rom over a new one, so decided to boot into CWM and format system and data folders.
Now I can't figure out how to copy/flash a zip of cyanogenmod onto the phone. Mount USB doesn't work.
I can't find a tutorial anywhere that explains what I should do from here as they all seem to rely on your copying the zip to your internal memory before you proceed.
Tried CWM's sideload option but ADB on my machine is saying no device found. ADB was working before so I have all the drivers etc. set up. I have the zip file of the build, I just don't know how to get it onto the phone.
Any ideas?

No worries, found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322220&page=2 and tried installing the drivers download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi despite already having working drivers that allowed me to install the whole thing in the first place.
Soon as I installed them cwm let me sideload the rom and it's all groovy.

Phone not recognised by PC

Hello,
So I made the mistake of wiping my sdcard partition, so I don't have the .zip with the ROM on the phone's memory.
The ROM I currently had was deleted aswell when I formatted /system/. Recovery works, but because I don't have an external SD card, I can not put anything on the phone memory.
So now, I can not push the zip file with adb because my Moto G is not recognised, even though I installed all the drivers (in AP Flashboot Mode) it says that the USB is connected, but "adb devices" shows nothing.
So in a few words, phone memory is empty, it's not recognised by the PC so I can not push the .zip with adb sideload.

have you tried to connect an USB stick (in cwm or TWRP)?
Probably you can mount it and install a zip.

I found a version of the Universal ADB Drivers, installed them and the adb sideload worked.
Let this be a lesson for others with phones that don't have external SD cards - NEVER delete the ROM from your phone's internal memory
FIXED

Are you using Win8 or Win7? I have read posts from people that had problems using fastboot commands in Win8.

[Q] Internal memory recovery with broken screen

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Core Plus (SM-G350) with broken screen (totally black) and password set up.
I want to recover my internal card data, but any of my ideas wont work.
I have already installed CWM and tried to blindly mount /sdcard by USB, but I dont see any new drive on PC.
I wanted to root it, but any of methods I found wont work (maybe cause Im running in CWM? Yes, USB debugging is disabled).
I tried also 'adb pull', but I need to mount /sdcard (am I right?) where I get 'permission denied' error - in adb shell I cant perform any command except 'cd'.
Im thinking about flashing /data by Odin, but how to create the 'script' for it?
Anybody has any idea how can I do it?

Same Boat...
I've got a broken screen on Centura Galaxy. I managed to blindly ODIN CWM on it, and now get ADB in recovery, but debugging is off so I'm stuck with there. I've tried recovery screenshot tools to try to load rooted ROM, but had no luck. I know JUST enough to be dangerous, and not much more. Just need to get DCIM folder.

If this is still valid, you could try flashing TWRP onto the phone, where it should mount the SD Card automatically and it should connect to the PC automatically too. Search for TWRP (either 2.8 or 3) here on XDA
