Also, you should specify which nexus S version you tried to root and which guide you followed.

jj, u need to flash new ROM of your choice from zip file under CWR.
The reason why u stuck on the Google screen is cos when u rooted and unlocked the boot loader u also erase all data including the stock ROM. But u should know that cos its mentioned in every root & bootloader unlock procedure
So just go into Nexus S Android Development where u can find and download the ROM of your choice.
After just boot into CWR and install the ROM from .zip file.
U will find whole procedure how to flash it under every ROM thread.

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't erase the existing os..it just wipes all the data and apps. It would still boot into the stock Android image until he flashes a custom ROM.

No. It wipes the sd and all user data. It has the same effect as using stock recovery to do a factory reset.

I can no longer get into clockwork recovery...

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also made the experience that flashing recovery through rom manager doesn't always work...had the same problem, also using brainmaster's MIUI rom.

I tried looking for directions on how to do it and for some reason I can't seem to find them.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

[Help] Problem With ROMs after Factory Reset

So I have the LG Optimus V and was running a custom Stock ROM. I was going to give it to a friend to use so decided to use the factory reset in the phone...whoops.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0 and every time I try to install a ROM from the zip file on it it just goes back to Clockwork after a reboot.
I've tried using the ROMs listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_V/ROMs (besides MIUIv4 and LeWa Port) to no avail. I just keep rebooting back into recovery after it says it was a successful install.
I've also tried getting into a workaround using fastboot but I believe the condition my phone is in right now won't allow it. I can't boot up to the fastboot recovery and other issues have arised.
So is there anything I can do or am I boned?
Thanks for reading and any feedback

Are there any other recoveries for your phone
AFAIK new ROMs don't support Clockwork Mod 3.2
Try updating the recovery to the latest one available i.e maybe 4.x for your Optimus V
This problem happened to me some months ago
I reflashed the recovery using terminal emulator

[Q] ******Please help I bricked my N5******

Hi guys,
I have recently rooted my device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), after 2 days there was an update for CM. Update was installed perfectly but then after the reboot "settings" on the phone stopped working. closed unfortunately. I went into recovery mode to flash the previous ROM. I am using "TWRP" recovery tool. This where I have done the blunder, I have wiped the system data and all of it. At the moment phone doesnt have any ROM to boot on. Please suggest me to how to flash the factory ROM or any other ROM. Can't really do anything as the phone wont boot up in regular mode (GOOGLE) thats all.

Can you sideload in TWRP?' It's even faster than pushing for the unpatient folk like me. lol
And yeah jd I still have the Rocket.

that was his first and only post, i bet he wont be back. sounds like a root toolkit child.

How?
Having said that I cannot detect the phone in the PC, how can i put the ROM in a folder?

Guess what? He's back!
@Shibazeet
You need to follow this thread to setup adb/fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Use NRT nexus root toolkit 1.8.4
& recommend to install stock image nexus from official google website , just search " stock image nexus 5 "

Use this guide to setup fastboot. Then download the factory image to your computer. Use fastboot to install it and any other future roms.

My friend, you don't use fastboot to flash "ROMs".

Sorry woke up 5min before writing that. Running on 4hrs sleep now. Meant use fastboot to install stock image, flash a recovery. Then use custom recovery to flash future roms. Just pointing him in the right direction. With a little reading, he'll figure it out.

[Completed] Won't boot into recovery

Hey there, so I'm a newbie at this and I have already rooted my Xperia V and the bootloader is unlocked. It's not updated to the latest Firmware, it's running Android 4.3. Anyways, I installed some sorts of ROM applications (ROM Installer and ROM Manager). I checked the recovery mode to TWRP and when I clicked boot into recovery, the phone would boot up normally. I tried booting it myself with various combinations but the phone won't boot into recovery. I don't know what to do, can anyone help me out?

Hello,
You need to flash kernel using FlashTool.
You can't flash kernel using any app.
I hope this worked for you.
Good Day.
