A700 - Can't go into Recovery Mode ,OS OK, Root OK, FBoot Unlocked

Hello Guys,
i have made something wrong. i wanted to install the OTA JB Image from internal SD and i was thinking it would work with CWM.
First step i have made is, unlocked the bootloader with adb.exe etc...
The Second Step was to get root and superuser (here maybe i have done something wrong) but in the end i got superuser to work with a patched bootloader or something.
The Third Step i installed CWM and started to flash the recovery image.
But it doesnt go any further, if i try to go into recovery mode, it stucked always at the message "boot recovery kernel". from here its frozen.
i have two recovery images to choice with CWM, One is calling TeamWin Recovery Image and the other is the CWM Recovery. But both doesnt work. I tried to go directly from CWM to the recovery mode and with the Power Button and Vol + Method. Both not working. If i try to boot manually first it says "it update via sdcard" or something, and immiadately it follows the message "boot recovery kernel" and stucked....Nothing happened
Thats a big problem because i cant update anymore and i dont have an externel sd card here. And via google i cant find a solution to this problem.
Is there a Method to install a new Recovery.img via adb? that work properly?
Maybe someone can help me out?
Greetings
Jack
Sorry for my bad English.
[EDIT] i have solved the problem by my own. I've flashed the wrong recovery img. Now i have flashed that version for ICS with vorbeths Easy Root. And now i can Update the version. Hope there will be no more problems...

Please steps

Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
Thanks in advance :highfive:

3. Click the link at the bottom of my signature.. There is a chart for roms.. have a look before you flash..

[Q] Trouble installing custom recovery on Samsung I8558

Hi,
I'm trying to root and install CWM recovery on samsung i8558 Galaxy Win (China Mobile version).
I have at hand a set of stock firmware, a pre-rooted boot.img, and a cwm recovery image (6.0.3.7) built from cyanogenmod source only with recovery.fstab replaced with the one extracted from stock recovery.
Also I've tried ROM Manager, but it won't boot into recovery after claiming to have installed CWM.
I have successfully rooted the device using the prerooted boot.img.
The problem is that when I flash my custom cwm recovery onto the phone, it won't boot into recovery by normal means (holding home, vol+, power). I can only enter recovery via 'adb reboot recovery'. Unfortunately it leaves me stuck in recovery mode, 'reboot system now' fails, 'adb reboot' fails, the only way out I've found is flashing stock recovery.
I guess my cwm image is not properly configured to suit my device. I have tried the Recovery Builder at builder.clockworkmod.com, but its output is totally out of function - black screen without anything.
Any clues?

Which CWM did you use?
I'm using i8552 with many custom Rom and finally a swipe cwm. Which cwm did you use to flash?
Also if you are on JB 4.2.2 will you send me a snap shot of your settings page, notification bar and About page?
Let's help each other here...

[Q] How to ROOT?HOW TO DOWNGRADE?

I have canvas 2 which already had jelly bean when I bought it.It is NOT ROOTED currently. I bought it from snapdeal. I have 32 bit windows 7. I researched alot on the internet, Nothing happened. I read many tutorials on xda developers. Still no use. I want to get back to ICS(ice cream sandwich) and then root it. There was a tutorial on how to downgrade from jb to ics in xda. I tried it. When i put in clockworkmod and do it, and then reboot my phone in recovery mode, there are options like restore data, backup data. I went in restore but nothing happens.I also tried mobileuncletools and selected the recovery image, it says that you need to root first. I also tried the flash method, but again, I have driver problem on my pc. When I choose scatter loading and firmware-->upgrade then insert my mobile without battery or sim card through usb cable, the usb sounds keep popping and nothng happens. After sometime, the flash tool says error. and the green circle doesnt appear. So to downgrade, I need to root. To root I need to flash which I can't. Someone please HELP!!!!!

[Q] Galaxy S Advance won't turn on after installing custom recovery (TWRP)

Hello, i just tried to install TWRP recovery on a Galaxy S Advance. Everything went great, odin didn't show me any error and when it finished the phone rebooted. After that it won't turn on ( stuck on the Galaxy logo) and i can't access the recovery. I tried to install another TWRP but i get the same error.

Where did you get TWRP for Galaxy S Advance. I can't find it in the supported device list: teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
If you can't get past the logo and can't access recovery, you should try flashing stock firmware for you device and carrier from sammobile.
(sammobile.com/firmwares/ Enter your device model and download the latest firmware for your carrier and region)
You can flash via Odin.
If you still can't boot after flashing original firmware, then try going into recovery again (press and hold volume up + home + power) and do a factory reset.
After that, if you still want to install custom recovery, I recommend rooting your phone (you can easily find tutorials on that) and after, use an app like Rom Manager or Rom installer to flash a recovery. Both of these are available on the play store.
Good luck.
