Hello,
I was trying to root my Nexus S, and in the mean time don't know what failed, but now I cannot boot.
If I boot normally, pressing the power button, it gets stucks in the screen showing "Google" and nothing happens.
I can access the recovery menu if I press the volume up button while pressing the power button. I tried to reload images and recover from them, but it always get stucks in the image of the android with the exclamation.
My question is, does any of you know how I can repair my booting? At this point I don't care if I lose the root or not.
Thank you!
The exclamation is probably the stock recovery do you know how to use ADB

seems like you never flashed to stock or bad flash try full wipe and flash either rooted stock or custom rom
Didn't help, no useful solution in that thread, however will keep an eye there if something new comes up.
Anyone experienced the same problem ?

in clockwork mod
-advanced-wipe dalvik cache
but from root and stuck on bootloop you might need to reflash the rooted stock rom. it is usually PDxx.IMG what root method did you use? did you get any errors?
I got no errors.
I already tried to flash with several differents .img, but none worked so far... I tried really a lot differents. Always get stuck at booting.

Hello!
If you see the triangle and ! when you go into recovery, then you just need to flash clockworkmod recovery. Then you can flash a ROM.
if your in clockwork do full wipe then flash new img i always do this order
-mounts and storage
-format /cache
-format /data
-format /system
-back to advanced
-wipe dalvik cache
-wipe battery stats
-*****go back****
-wipe data/factory reset
-now flash rom
already tried, didn't work... nothing happens
the same happens, still get stuck during booting....
after wipe do you see rom install

After you flash a kernel the first boot does take a couple minutes, but flashing another rom should do it

Just boot into recovery, factory reset it, clear the Dalvik cache, format the system and install the stock GB rom or another rom. If you don't clear the Dalvik cache and wipe the system before installing roms or kernels you get bootloop problems such as this. Your phone is okay. The G2X is virtually unbrickable. It just gets indigestion form operator error when flashing roms.
ok so i factory reseted, cleared the cache and the dalvic. my phone wont read the gb stock rom, i dl unto my external card

Did you do a Nand Backup with CWM before flashing the kernel? If so, restore the phone how it was before you mucked it up.
Ok, So i rooted my T-mobile G2x 2.3.3 and there were difficulties when i flashed the Cyanogen 7mod. The Rom worked but the only default was i didnt get data. Like i couldnt even get Edge. The only way to use internet and stuff was through wifi. SO then i reflashed it thinking it was a bad flash. But when i reflash through rom manager it gives me the option to downoad with google apps. so i clicked that option. It downloaded fine but on the reboot it stayed stuck on the 2nd LG screen. Am i bricked or if anyone can help id appreciate it alot.
U can't do it via rom manager. U have to flash recovery using nv flash, then u can try to flash custom rom. Remeber to wipe data and format system before flashing any rom.
U r not bricked yet
Check here to nv flash the cwm

Did you flash CWM via NV Flash. If not, do that. Then boot into recovery by holding down the power + volume down keys until you get the second boot logo. Then wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache. That is usually why a phone refuses to boot.
Also, if your phone turns on it is not bricked. Bricked means when you press the power button nothing happens at all. You can be soft-bricked like you are, but it can be easily fixed. Nothing to panic about.
I did all of that im sorry if i gave you info wrong. Like i cant do anything it turns on but goes to the first LG screen then goes to the new LG screen with the blue streaks and it stays there. Then when i try to go into CWR it shows the LG with a blue and black loading bar below then shows as if its loading something then it just goes back to the blue LG screen and im stuck there.

You have stock recovery on the recovery partition, not CWM. You MUST flash CWM onto the physical recovery partition using NVFlash with the One Click flasher. You used Rom Manager and that doesn't install CWM onto the recovery partition. Once you have CWM properly installed you can enter recovery and revive your phone.

@OP, this is is correct. Use tga gunmann's nvflash tool from the development section. The process is super easy. Just make sure to follow his instructions closely. Just fyi, most people get errors during the nvflash process because they don't install the apx drivers appropriately, so take your time and read the instructions carefully.

Start off by wiping cache and then go to Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If you still can't boot after that then try a full factory reset.
Just remember the first boot after wiping dalvik cache can take several minutes as android rebuilds the dalvik cache. All subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.

Did you do as phburks said and go into advanced and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Most issues of not booting are related to the Dalvik Cache not being wiped after flashing a new rom. That is essential to getting your phone to boot again. A factory reset DOES NOT clear the Dalvik Cache.

Boot back into cwm, go to Mounts and Storage, format /system and then reflash your rom.

Could be a bad download. I'd try downloading again. Use your computer to download again and save it to your microsd card. Then reinsert the sdcard, boot back into cwm and try again.

The reason I ask is that with cm7 you have to flash 2 separate zip files. First you flash the actual cm7 zip which installs the rom and then you flash the gapps zip which installs the Google apps (market, gmail, etc). Make sure you have both on your sdcard and then flash the rom first and gapps second.

Im glad you brought that up because when i first flashed Cyanogen i did also flash gapps but after i flashed gapps thats when i wouldnt get data. Do you know the reason for this? or was it could have been another bad flash?

Not sure. I'd just play it safe, re-download both, wipe data, and reflash both. Sometimes its hard to determine which step went wrong and its best and quicker to just start with a clean slate and redo everything.
I wont be able to post for a while so good luck.
please help!!!!!

Sometimes if you get stuck on the boot logo and it never fully boots, simply clearing the cache and dalvik cache in CWM or TWRP can fix it. (Might throw in fixing permissions as well.)

Why create a new thread?
Full wipe/factory reset, then flash the entire factory image set.
Look here if you don't know what to do:

Are you trying to flash the lollipop or kitkat factory image?
Anyway, after flashing when you get the bootloop, go to fastboot and flash a custom recovery and then do a factory reset, cache and delvik cache wipe. This should do the trick.

i did all that you tell me. i do a factory reset, cache and dalvik but my N5 doesnt work. Continue in an infinity loop :/
I downloaded the image-hammerhead-lrx21o, radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.21 and bootloader-hammerhead-hhz12d.
Any idea?
Try flashing a kitkat rom by the "Ncry" tool. Click the Restore menu button and select device and rom.
impossible
always stuck in and infinite bootloop... i think any component (hardware) isnt working well

Flash the whole image (radio, image, bootloader) in fastboot by typing in cmd: flash-all. This will wipe the device but will not cause problems.

Looks like a hardware problem. Either Google RMA or LG Repair.
I bought it in Amazon
May i have rma if I bought on Amazon?
LG Chile doesnt has official repair...
So I had to buy another cell, a moto x 2014.. Bye nexus
it looks like hardware is at fault, can you relock the bootloader?, do that if so, i dont know if amazon do rma, contact them and find out,
strange if you get no issues while flashing,
I think so. I will check about invoce and RMA.
Thank all of you
