Untethered unroot/reset to stock

Hello
Does anyone know of a way to unroot the Nexus s 4g(d720) back to stock without doing it over a USB cable? My phone was damaged such that I can’t mount the sd card over USB and can’t get any communication over usb except charging. I'd like to take it into sprint to see if they'll replace with a new or refurbished one. I can get to the files on the SD if I set up a FTP program but that’s about it. Maybe I can do it over network? But not sure where to start. I've been searching for a while for a way to do this but haven’t found anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

Thanks!!! I thought about that but will that also re-lock the boot loader and set the recovery back to stock? I guess I don’t understand how it could overwrite the recovery if I'm using CWM recovery to flash it. Unless I need to put stock recovery on there and then flash the zip with the factory image? Thanks again for the reply.

NO it will not relock your bootloader, but it will flash the stock recovery if the zip file is really stock.
LITTLE EDIT:
to flash those zip files u need a custom recovery such as CWM, bcz in stock recovery u will get error and a instalation aborted

Had the same issue a few hours ago. Flash TWRP. Mount your phone as USB drive in TWRP and on the PC should come up a pop up that asks you if you want to format your sd card. Press format and let it do its thing. Then your SD should work again (but the data ist lost).

Thnx a lot

You can use the mount as usb drive function again to put the rom on your phone or you can adb push it onto your phone. I'd use the first method.

Hanging in boot screen. Please help!

Yesterday I up CyanogenMod 10 rom for my tablet, upgraded it to 4.2.1 and problems started from here: it wouldn't reponse to my touching at all. Then I flashed it with rootkit v8 and the tablet showed nothing but blank screen! Hopelessly I used every way I could find and finally come up with Easy Flasher 0.8.3. Now my tablet's stucking at bootscreen. I can't even enter recovery mode. Please help me with some guides, my mind is a freaking mess now :crying:

What did you do with easyflasher, install a recovery, or flash stock firmware?

Use easy flasher to flash a recovery, chuck a rom on an sd card and flash from the recovery.

Agreed. I would use EasyFlasher to install TWRP.
Put your favorite ROM (stock or otherwise) as a flashable.zip (if using stock be sure to unzip once) on a microSD formatted for FAT32.
Insert into tablet.
Install the ROM.
Profit

Thank you for your answers. I managed to get into this screen but it couldn't recognize my micro SD card.

Any suggestion?
//Sorry I'm a newbie of this

Wow, that CWM is old. I never used that one, it may not read from the external microSD and only the internal.
That is why I suggested flashing TWRP.

My tablet went blank again and flashtool doesnt help any more. I tried it with Rootkit 8.0 and came up with this, it just stuck right here.

Could you please tell me how to flash TWRP with Flashtools please I feel so hopeless right now don't know what to do.

Need help - lost all internal SD files - Nothing to flash

I was stupid. Point blank.
How can I get a ROM zip back on so I can flash it again?
It just hangs at the boot screen when I try to start up, but I'm able to get into TWRP recovery. Please help..I'm kinda freakin out.
Nothing showing on the internal card to be able to flash.

Trying to figure out how to maybe sideload? In ADB, the device doesn't show up...

have you tried flashing the stock rom with fastboot?

No I havent - how would i go about that?
It needs something to read to be able to flash...right now there's nothing on internal and wont mount to ADB
If I could flash via fastboot, would I be able to flash back the custom rom instead of the stock rom?

you dont need any anything to be able to flash. you just need a laptop with the asus drivers installed and the latest fastboot. I'm pretty sure you cant flash a custom rom with fastboot. i havent tried it myself but i wont take the risk. you could just flash the stock rom and then later intall the custom recovery and then go ahead and install the custom rom.

I think I got it. Thank GOD for the NEW TWRP recovery.
This is what I did. I poked around TWRP and noticed that I was able to change the storage location on where it looks to install. I thought...if I can load the zip to a micro SD and flash it from there..gravy.
Of course the day as it is...the SD reader on my comp stopped working..been running around the office trying to find on that did. Finally did...placed rom zip on it..rebooted into recovery..flashing right now as we speak
Praying and crossing fingers!

It freakin WORKED! I'm baaaaaack.
The only bad part is I lost my stock backup...but that's a small price to pay to have it working again.

[Q]Unable to root my device from recovery

I Am unable to mount system or cache either and also i cant flash certain files from my CWM recovery I think it is because I forgot to root my device before flashing the CWM from stock recovery. Now I can't do nandroid backup or root the device either i need help. The data speed is too slow at my home I'll not be able to download stock rom (it would take days to download)... Is there any way??

Recovery Mode doesn't need root to function. Try the Universal GB Root package and tell me what happens, a bit more information would be helpful, like, if an error shows, or something like that...
EDIT: OH! I just realized what is happening! You are using CWM with a Stock ROM that you want to root, right? Well, CWM does NOT support .EFS file systems. It can't mount the /system/ partition to write on it. When you install a custom ROM with it, it re-formats the system partition to EXT4. So, you can't use both a Stock ROM and CWM. They do not support each other. You need to flash a custom ROM. Or use the Stock Recovery to flash the Root Zip.

another trouble.....
thanks i figured that out but also now there is another problem...please help me.
I downloaded the stock rom and it has only two files ( a .dll and an file HOME.tar) but i loaded the file as PDA in
odin and now there comes the problem.... the drivers are setup and the ID:COM section turns yellow and then in the
logs everything proceeds good and gets stuck at the setupconnection stage. I'll try to post the screen shot

Ok, i'll wait for the screenshot =)
Also, this is a first i have ever heard of this problem. If the drivers are OK, Odin is showing the COM Port, and the Setup begins, my only guess is that you got the wrong flash files... Are you sure you'r device is "s5670"? not some other model? Also, i recommend downloading official firmware from SamFirmware. But for now, i wait for screenie =)

Don't load it as PDA, instead load it as One Package(home.tar.md5 file)

Hi @koukis32
Dnt wry Bro ur cell is just fine please download the Firmware pages that you want to flash from the link below by entering your phone model number or i shall also paste link where in you can download the package directly also.
You can find the required ODIN Firmware Package as you wish for the ODIN tool
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and put in the Device Model Number and download it
or complete Firmware Package of Gingerbread 2.3.6 DDKT3 you can find the link below
http://hotfile.com/dl/146050815/b3b9...2_INU.zip.html in case this link doesn't work please download the Packages from above link as I can't check it from my office so dntmnd
For ODIN Flashing Tool:
http://www.downloads.techdiscussion....ting-software/
and Procedure to Flash is:
- Shutdown Galaxy Fit and restart it in Recovery Mode. For that hold the volume down key + Home key and power key. Hold it for some seconds and leave it. The device will boot in recovery mode. When the yellow triangle, connect cell phone and a computer with a USB cable.
- Launch ODIN on your system. In that look under ID:COM section. The section will turn to yellow once the device is connected and detected.
- Now click on OPS. It will ask you to browse the downloaded firmware package. Browse to GIO_1.0.ops. Once it is selected click on One Package and choose S5670DDKT3_S5670ODDKT2_S5670DDKT2_HOME.tar.md5.
- Now click on Start. The update process has started and it will take few minutes to complete.
- Once it is done, the device will reboot itself. Later on you can go in Settings and checkout the firmware version.
And considering still you still in Galaxy Fit Page then go take a break and relax and follow the instructions in the link which I have shared you phone will come back to life.
