I posted in another forum but I hoped maybe a dev could figure it out
I screwed up big time. I got my nexus s 4g and unlocked and rooted. all was going well and I went the custom rom route and used rom manager to do so. It was g found out after my radio didnt work. I tried to flash back to stock and it did. I found out it was gsm stock and I am a f#cking moron, so I'm stuck on stock, unrooted, no radio and no computer can it now, not the samsung prog, odin, or adb. the usb on pc will charge, but not push data, please can anyone help.
update: I have an epic, could I download the singed rstock rom, rename it update.zip, bluetooth it to the nexus and apply with stock recovery?
Have you tried reinstalling Samsung device drivers? Are you navigating to sdk/tools when you try adb?
This is not a development related topic. Things like this belong in q&a.

i have installed the drivers, and i have it set to cmd from anywhere. The computer cant see it at all
You flashed another phones radio, then propose to flash yet another phones rom to fix it... Dude.. Stop flashing and go read. A lot..

I have read, right now I am trying to get to stock on my nexus s 4g. I have no way to get files on it, since the usb will no longer transfer data. Thats the problem, I know I scewed up, I want to fix it is the thing
Post this in q&a. Dev is for dev. Unless you are writing code you shouldnt be making new threads here.
You will get help, just address it in the right forum.

Does wifi work? If yes try downloading a rom for your device from your phone directly and flash it within clockwork apk.

i 100% agree with you that this thread should be closed. but come on now dude, no need to be harsh on the guy. his head is probably all over the place now that the phone is not working let's just understand him.
to OP:
here was a similar thread and a similar problem to yours. apparently the guy could enable USB through clockworkmod recovery and flash a rom for his device.
as i understand you have stock recovery. what you should do is try to install clockwork (through fastboot) and enable usb from there.
N.B after flashing clockwork recovery thrpugh fastboot, do not reboot your phone. just enter recovery directly through bootloader.

thanks for the help but mine cant be seen in fastboot, either. sorry for posting the wrong thread, I just thought a dev may have a flashable radio or a different usb trick

I was nice to begin with. But you also need to quit feeding him. He will keep posting in this thread and not make another one in q&a as long as you keep helping him. He keeps posting, you keep posting. I have no understanding for people not following the rules. They are there to keep xda clean and foster development. If people are going to ignore them, then they need to leave.

oh come on!! the guy needs help...definitely its a wrong thread in a wrong section..but just help him out...i would suggest him to try fastboot on another computer or so..install fresh drivers and a fresh sdk ..and then try out dude...and it would be much better if u really post your queries on to Q & A section....people will surely help
Jesus Christ give the dude a break. Hes just lookin for some help. Who cares if he made a thread in the wrong place, i dont see how that affects anyone especially the wannabe mods. OP hope u get ur phone workin again, id help u if i could
The only way i know of getting an update.zip/recovery/image over myself is fastboot, (ie: fastboot flash image, fasboot boot) ...without that working i am unsure how to fix your problem.
Regarding the flame wars over the wrong section posting, surely keepign this ontopic and free from gripes until a mod moves it is the best way? (over reacting wierdo's )
been looking at how to root + install a custom rom on my opo for the past two days, but still some stuff remain unclear.
i really wanna try cyan hacker (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-cyanhacker-rom-t2838128)
, so was wondering if someone who knows this stuff can help me over skype while i try to install it, also i have some questions regarding backup etc.
so if someone has some free time and is willing to help me, please say so here and i will pm u my skype.
help will be very appreciated =P
Honestly, if you can't do it yourself you shouldn't be doing it at all. You can ask any questions you have here on XDA. Have a look at my guide thread in my signature, it explains everything you need to do.

+1 to what timmaa said... http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471 is the link to his thread.
Everything you need to know is there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away here and we will answer to the best of our ability.
If you're going to be flashing custom ROMs / kernels, reading is essential. Everything you do is dependent on yourself and not anybody else.
If you don't feel comfortable doing the instructions listed then just stay with stock.
Can I +2 that? Way to easy to root on OPO to have someone help you. Plus there are videos out I am quite sure...

Hi there looking for some help,
I have my OPO for over 4 months now, and am extremely happy with it. However I have not got any updates to the OS. From when I have bought the phone its been stuck on 11.0-XNPH25R. And if I check the System updates option, it says its upto date.
I would like to know, can I just update to 44s without the incremental updates of the previous versions ? And whats a noob friendly tutorial of how to do so ? Cos I have never flashed a ROM on my phone so far ?
I Don't want to be left out on the Android L update when it does happen. So want to do the updates right now, any help will do. The phone at the back does not have the cyanogen OS logo, just the manufacturer info. Does this have anything to do with it ? ( international version etc )
Please help.
Regards,
Melvin

Thread closed - OP request.
After flashing custom rom that is not suit for my device which is MyPhone Agua Iceberg, After installing the rom and booted the system. I only see a black screen and I can't able to get to recovery mode to revert the backup file of my previous room. Please guide me, it will help me much.
Thanks!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. You can't flash ROMs or firmware that aren't intended for your device, the result is usually damaged partitions, which is probably what's happened to your phone. Because there's very little information available for your device I can't see a way for you to recover your phone. Are you able to boot into anything at all?
I brought it to ny friend and he used sp flash tool. My device is ok now. My problem right now is how to upgrade to kitkat, and how to increase ram memory.
Thans alot for your time to reply.
Ok, that's good. The only ROM I can find for your device is here:
[ROM][JB 4.2.2★][★DEGRUS™ & Megatron007™★][★DARKSIDE COLOUR OS★]
It's a Jelly Bean ROM though. Devices such as this, that are relatively low-popularity don't usually gain attention from developers so it isn't likely that there will be many ROMs available for it.
Thanks my friend for helping me. I appreciate it alot!
Now, I have the feeling of being afraid to flash rom because of what might happen. Grr!)
The ROM I linked you to states that's it's compatible with your device so you should be fine. I forgot to mention that you can't increase RAM, that's a hardware limitation.
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.

Hey guys,
I have an STG S1 with the MT6737T processor and for some reason it started rebooting itself a few minutes after the GUI shows up and everything working fine. This started happening after I disabled the built-in Youtube app in an attempt to delete it completely but in vain.
Then I tried to factory reset my phone which ended up causing it to reboot mid-factory reset. Then somehow I got into the Chinese menu and hit one of the options that said something in Chinese and eMMC in the end. I can only assume it formatted all the partitions on my phone after that. Other menu items in Chinese were for testing different things from the touchscreen to the GPS.
I could not manage to flash anything into my phone using fastboot since it's on a locked state and unlocking doesn't work because I never enabled debugging or developer mode. So flashing a custom ROM using TWRP is out of the way.
I found this stock ROM but it's geared towards a slightly different processor MT6735 and changing the processor in the scatter file did no good. I flashed a couple of other ROMs here and there from totally different manufacturers but did not get any positive results. Some ROMs would just turn the screen totally dark, one of them would light up the screen (still dark and no logo). So I haven't gotten any luck into finding an actual ROM that could work for me.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to try different ROMs from different manufacturers but I am aware that I may risk bricking the phone once and for good but so far so good as it's still accepting "Format All + Download" from the SP Flash Tool.
I'm just sitting here looking at my phone wishing it had anything on it, even if it's a mere Linux headless console. I contacted the phone company and other people to try and get a stock ROM but in vain. I came across this and although it mentions both processors I'm skeptical that it could just be the same stock ROM that I'm seeing around. I emailed them but no response so far.
What can I do to get my phone up and running again?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
I ended up buying this for $9 and it did work for my MT6737T.
