You can't use Odin with a Nexus S. Reflash your recovery using fastboot.

Fastboot is much better then ODIN - If you loose access to recovery, you'd still be able to access fastboot/adb and then you can easily flash custom recovery using adb.If you have lost recovery then install pdanet on your computer.(It will also install Nexus S USB Drivers) then put your phone into fastboot mode by holding down both Volume Up and Power buttons together. When you are in fastboot mode connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.Download ADB and recovery you want to flash put it in your C:/recovery (Put adb and recovery image in this folder)
Then open cmd and type
1)CD C:/recovery
2)fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img (replace recoveryname with actual file name of the recovery image).
2nd command will flash recovery to your phone and then you'd be able to access recovery.

Wow, you learn something every day. Never heard of anyone doing that before.

Thanks

[S-ON] Root ..

I have UNLOCKED boatloader but S-On
i searched the whole forum to find a way to gain root without s-off , but I didn't find
I tried to flash CWM but it didn't work .. what should I do ???

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452173to
This definitely works. Tested it myself.
Here is the link for recovery used to flash through fastboot: link
Extract recovery.img, put it in a folder where your fastboot tools are, connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode, open cmd, navigate to the folder where your recovery.img is and then execute this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, reboot into recovery and flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from the recovery (install from sd card option).
That's it.
Regards

Help CMW won't boot to recovery

[SOLVED] (not sure how to tag as solved in the title, if mods can do that please or tell me how)
Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery following these instuctions
droidviews.com/2013/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt925gsm/
Installed Rom manager.
Booting into recovery results in robot on his back with the triangle and exclamation point animation and stays there unless I
force reboot by holding the power button. Phone boots to stock rom or fastboot just fine.
Tried reflashing CWM just in case.
I am rooted via motochopper
Unlocked bootloader via motopocalyspe.
I factory reset my phone prior to all this so there are only a few apps installed, also SuperSU installed.
Rogers version XT925
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Are you using the cmd 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
?

Thanks for the quick reply; yes that is the command I used to flash the recovery image to my phone.

check see if your recovery image is in the same directory as your fastboot eg Cmd > cd C:/fastboot flash recovery recovery.Img
I always paste my files directly into cd C:/ .
If you have them in a folder in c it would be ' cd C:/folder name here fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

They are in the same folder, in the mean time I actually found another thread with the same problem. I guess I didn't search hard enough the first time before posting. I found a 1 click installer for CWM/TWRP that fixed my issue. I'm guessing I may have just had a bad recovery img or something.

Honor 6x stuck in Recovery

Hey Guys,
I've tried to root my phone and while falshing the TWRP Recovery an Error occured.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.754s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.763s
So I thought I could exit the menu by typing "fastboot reboot". Now I'm stuck in in that startup window "Your device has been unlocked and can´t be trusted" and have 3 options:
(1) Press Power Key to continue.
(2) Press Vol...
(3) ...
If I press the power button its just rebooting and everything starts from beginning and if I'm trying to recover it my phone cant connect to the wifi "Getting package info failed".
HiSuite and usb debugging aren´t working.
Did I broke my Phone or is there a way to fix it?
Sorry for my bad englich ^^.
Thank you! Musark.

this is the wrong command for flashing a recovery. You should type: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
In case you still get this error then:

It's usually because your bootloader is still or again locked.

I followed the tutorial "How to Root Honor 6X [100% Working]" from CyberKey (can't post links at the moment).
Everything was fine until I wanted to boot my phone.

At least i want to use my Phone.
I rode a lot about dload but I've only found tutorials where i need access to my phone.
Could someone give me a link for a tutorial?

It's because the tutorial you followed is wrong when it comes to flashing the twrp recovery. It seems like you flashed the recovery image to the wrong partition (boot).
If you want to install a custom rom:
1. Put your phone into fastboot mode
2. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
3. Flash any custom rom
If you want to get the stock rom running again:
Way1:
1. Download the right stock recovery for your phone (marshmallow recovery if you want to flash marshmallow and nougat recovery if you want to install the nougat stock rom)
2. Put your phone into fastboot mode
3. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Download the right firmware for your phone and extract the files
5. Create the "dload" folder on your external sd card
6. Put the update.app from the extracted files into your "dload" folder
7. Power off your phone
8. Hold volume up + volume down + power button until the honor logo appears. Wait until the phone boots into stock recovery and installs the stock rom.
Way2.
1. If you know which version of stock rom you had installed, e.g. B360 you can download the same firmware version again.
2. Use huawei firmware extractor to extract recovery.img and boot.img
3. Put your phone into fastboot mode
4. Use the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Use the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Reboot your phone (fastboot reboot)
In general you can also install any rom via fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Wow Thanks, I've only 1 question. My computer isnt noticing that my phone is connected with him via usb.
How can i access my sd card without HiSuite or usb debugging? I could also put my sd card in a diffrent phone, but i think thats not the usual way.

If you have no running rom on your phone, then as far as I know only via TWRP or as you already mentioned by another phone.

My phone is working fine now thanks.

Good, next time, try installing it through TWRP app (if you are rooted) it's easier
