Thanks for your reply,the ROM I flashed is from this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27027809#post27027809
I can enter fastboot mode.

And have you tried flashing factory images ? My sd card got stuck once too from flashing and this was the only solution that worked...

Flashing factory images?Which type of images(I'm bad at this sorry >.<)

Okay,problem solved.Using the "ADB push" method will do.By following this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929 Just simply push the ROM into the SD card through fastboot mod,and flash the ROM,then everythings work fine.The ROM I used is Nexus S original ROM download from net.

What carrier are you on? Is it 9020a or 9020t? Are you on the stock rom and stock recovery? Have you manually looked for an update? (Clearing Google Services Framework data then going to Settings > About phone > System updates)

Yes i have checked manually by settings........from where to check the i9020a or i9020t......

Root not required to update factory images, but device must be unlocked (see step 9)
Install Android SDK Tools
When SDK Manager runs, select Android SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver, see attached pic
If missed, run SDK Manager again as Administrator
Download Google Factory Images for your device (eg. sojua for i9020a) and JB4.1.2
Extract (7-zip or whatever) the tar file (.tgz) into C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
Open Windows Prompt, change directory to platform-tools folder
Put your Nexus S in Bootloader (fastboot) mode. (Power off, press power-on while holding Vol-Up)
Test fastboot connectivity, should show your nexus device
Code:
fastboot devices
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked. This will wipe all data. So backup first.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Run flash-all.bat. This will flash bootloader, radio(baseband) and system rom. You can execute the commands within manually if desired.
To root, I like the manual way.
Download Clockworkmod Recovery and save into platform-tools folder
Download Superuser and copy into SD/USB of your Nexus S.
Boot into fastboot and flash Clockworkmod Recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Select RECOVERY in fastboot menu and boot into clockworkmod recovery.
Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard, select the Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip that you copied in step 2.
Reboot and you are rooted.

[Q] Q phone will not flash, unable to open partitions in recovery

im new to this phone and unlocked and rooted, cwm, problem is it wont flash to partitions inside recovery, nor will it flash is fastboot, says cannot load????
any thoughts would be very helpfull

I don't understand. What are you trying to do? Flash CWM, it fails? Or do you already have CWM and you can't flash a ROM...?
Please explain in detail what you are trying to do, what you have attempted to fix it, and what error messages / info you get back.

Already have cwm after motochopper root method after bootloader unlocked, downloaded slim bean for sprint photon q, booted into recovery wiped partitions and flashed thing is it sticks at the bootanimation, so I waited for a bit after a fresh flash to no avail so I downloaded rds lite and necessary files to flash deleted the 2 lines in yhe xml file, went to flash comes up unknown flashboot command, tried a few times before I tried to flashboot flash twrp, but when I type the command to fasboot flash, error cannot load.img. either recovery or boot

As far as I know.
Well that's odd - did you check the md5sum of the download? Make sure that you have a good download?
Can you give more details about your issue? Maybe a screenshot?

Yeah I can do that a little later

thanks a lot it helped:laugh::good::good::good::good::good:
could you please tell me why i am not able to flash cm12 using cwm,is it an older version than my stock lollipop 5.1.1

CWM is Outdated. It's time to switch to TWRP mate.

Disable qe service in stockrom

I know there are only few people using stockrom here, but according to this:
Carrier IQ, round 2: Motorola's Android devices are running "Qe", a process which logs all modifications to the stock OS and sends them back to Motorola
nomatter VZW or MOTO do this, i decide to remove the service.
By disabling "service qe" section in /init.target.rc will totally disable /xbin/qe running while our xt897 is booting, and this will also speed up the booting time.
we can do this by modifying the boot partition.
Disclaimer:
!! This is only for Photon Q 4G LTE stockrom !!
Most custom roms are already removed qe from boot partition.
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong while using this mod.
how to flash:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot mmcblk0p31_boot_mod.img
how to check:
every time you reboot the phone, "/xbin/qe /system" will be executed, and the result will be stored in /data/misc/qer
delete /data/misc/qer and reboot, you should no longer see the qer appeared anymore.
I also attached the original boot partition image just in case anything goes wrong.
(mmcblk0p31_boot.img is the original one)

So you have done this? Or are you only reporting it?

I have already stopped qe from booting in stockrom.
You can just do a simple flash to the boot partition.
Maybe the Droid4 and Razer also have this kind of problem, but i dont have these phones.

Ok, do you have the download to flash, or is it in the link?
Can this be flashed through TWRP etc, or only through ADB?

The .7z file attached to the OP is what you extract then flash.
Directions are in the OP:
how to flash:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot mmcblk0p31_boot_mod.img

It could certainly be modified to flash via TWRP.

Ha - I thought the attached zip was the stock - that's how I read it.
