[Q] Cannot boot into recovery. Laggy phone as well.

I was just about to try updating from NScollab 1.0.39 to 1.0.40 and for some reason my nexus s refuses to boot into recovery. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. Im not sure if it is related or not but my phone became very laggy after my first failed attempt to boot into recovery. I tried fixing user permissions and rebooting many many times but it doesn't seem to help.

What does it do when u try to boot into recovery?

It doesnt do anything. It just reboots into the bootloader.
Thank you for the quick reply
edit:
i tried flashing recovery again through rom manager and now whenever i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the google logo with the unlocked padlock.

Hmmm
Do me a quick favor.
go here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image
and download the 4.0.0.2 recovery image and save it to some directory on ur computer
then follow these steps:
1. Open up command prompt/terminal and plug in phone to computer
2. Type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. It will take you to fastboot mode. Now type "fastboot erase recovery"
4. Then type fastboot "flash recovery ____.img"
( ____ is the name of the recovery img file)
5. Now it will flash and once it says "OKAY" then scroll down using volume down into recovery and see what happens
plz get back to me bout this!

Thank you so much for the quick help! btw i updated recovery from rom manager and i ran into the same problem with it not booting into recovery so i am guessing there is a problem with the latest version of recovery? I'll just reflash through the instructions you gave me.

Yeah prolly a ROM manager issue

the recovery generally doesnt stick if flashing it through rom manager. flash it through fastboot and itll stick.

Hmm thanks for the advice! ill keep that in mind

[Q] I have a blank device need some help

So in clockworkmod I formatted boot, cache, system, and data. Sometimes I do this when having problems changing roms. Well this time I have a problem, the one and only rom on my phone is Bionix and it will not install. Now my phone will not connect to my computer. If I restart the phone it goes straight to the bootloader and says no boot or recovery image. I can scroll down to recovery and it will go to CWM 5 but I have no roms in there to flash other than Bionix. The computer will not recognize the phone in either fastboot or recovery so I have no idea what the heck to do to get this thing running again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can try going into CWM go to scroll to advanced then mounts and storage..then mount sd...connect phone to pc...n transfer rom to phone...u should b able to flash the rom then

Tried that. I'm going to pick up a new usb cord tonight at Best Buy and maybe that will get it.

maybe u can try reflashing recovery via fastboot then use mounts and storage and see if that will work..

If you can go in CWM then you're far from bricked, haha.
As neo_x22000 said
1) Go to Clockworkmod Recovery
2) Mounts and storage menu
3) Mount /sdcard
4) Mount USB storage
5) Plug phone to computer
6) ????
7) PROFIT!!!!

Got it working. The problem was the USB cord. Now running ICS! Thanks for all the help.

[Q] stuck in recovery....please help

So i was about to sell my nexus s (rooted and unlocked) and i tried to reset it but i got the error icon....so i wiped everything from cwm recovery. since i did that, the rom will not run...it sends me back to fastboot and recovery but i cannot mount the usb to my computer to flash a new rom. How can i get my phone to mount through cwm recovery so i can put a zip on the internal storage???

When you can start your phone into fastboot, you can connect it to your pc and try to flash a new recovery. If you want to completely wipe the phone and install the stock ICS you also could just flash that via fastboot.

or just boot on download mode and flash via ODIN the stock Rom

search dev section , there is
but if you wanna set it to factory set , why don't you just flash 2.3 stock rom which has stock recovery that will overwrite the CWM recovery

You have to press VOL+ & VOL- And plug the data cable

You don't need Odin. There is an option in cwm to mount USB storage.

TWRP for ics port could not boot to recovery...need help please....

I already try to reflash for almost 10 times and each and every time was unsuccessful to make the twrp working on my device...
anybody has any idea what went wrong?
i flash the ics port from xbsall currently using V21A baseband and root succesfuly using the guide from the development thread.
however once i install the p940 recovery and granted superuser it could never boot to recovery.
i did make the twrp successfully boot to recover and make a backup 2 days ago. but because i flash the wrong baseband and messed up with my imei i decided to reflash all over again.
and tough luck it never reboot to recovery ever since.
please help... i'm dying to try xbsall newest room with acid sound....

I am in the same situatiom.
If someone can provide alternative or manual way it will be great.

i had twrp running a couple of days ago before i accidently messed my imei.
i did a twrp backup with twrp booting to recovery successfully.
is there any way i could restore the backup using fastboot?
thanks for your help.

but when i reboot it normally reboot to the system and not recovery.... :crying:
edit:
i found your thread regarding the twrp berni...it is for GB right? so back to square one. where can i find the ics recovery image? thanks

Did u try holding volume down while booting?

Forget flashing Recovery partition if using ICS.
Specific TWRP/CWM recovery uses the 2nd init method and has nothing to do with recovery partition.

I have the same problem!
the installation of the .zip-file takes 2 sec.
it isn't normal for a size of 429 mb.
what's the problem

you can use the app that you used to install recovery to go in recovery mode,
3d+vol down+power doesnt work on me.

Correct key combination for twrp in ICS is Vol- and Power
