Softbricked Nexus S

Hi, I have unrooted Nexus somehow its not booting up no just shoing google Logo. I can only enter in dast boot mode and bootloader is locked hence can not load a new rom to it. Tried to unlock the loaded but unable to do so. Used most of the tools in the forumn but sill no success. Its still not boots into android
Any help will be appritiated.

Can you enter recovery? Like stock recovery or clockworkmod. You should be able to.
If you have stock recovery navigate to it using bootloader, then to active the menu press both the power button and the volume keys ( sorry I don't know which one). Wipe data and factory reset. Select it. BUT THIS WILL CLEAR ALL DATA.
If you have clockworkmod again boot into it like above and select wipe data factory reset. This will not delete you data.
If you have TWRP you can for the same as clockworkmod. But go to menu "wipe" and select wipe data factory reset.
Hope this helps,

Have you tried Wug's Nexus Toolkit? There's an option in the program for this type of thing. It'll flash full stock on your phone but at least it'll be working again, and from there you can flash CWM and root the phone as usual.
It's in the Nexus S Android Development forum, sorry I can't post links yet since I don't have the 10 posts needs.

I am 101% sure that you are missing something while unlocking either the drivers or the fastboot files.
Otherwise nothing can stop you from unlocking. Finally when you unlock, flash the factory image via fastboot and then proceed again towards rooting and customs. :good:

can u please tell me what method you are using to unlock boot loader?
follow these steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

e: can't mount/cache karbonn sparkle v

I was using cm13 sprout 4 and twrp recovery. Was getting error unfortunately ---- apps stopped again again from different apps.
So simply thought of wiping cache and dalvik from twrp . It gave error e: can't mount /cache. So thought of formattig data but by mistake instead of factory reset, i formatted my android. Now i have no os installed just a twrp and unlocked bootloader with me.
now it gives error also E: can't mount/ system also.
pls help, i have only this night to fix it , tight schedule ahead

today i tried these commands in fastboot :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
all commands finished successfully but strangely their no change in my device.
then i tried flashing cwm recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
but when i boot in recovery it was twrp only.
so i think the flash command from fastboot is not working.
pls help...

Now i managed to get my friends pc and flashed stock rom using sp flash tool , everything went smoothly without any error but strangely nothing happened in device. It remains same without any os . Is my device completely damaged?? :'(

i am attaching logs

Got a solution!
This is kind of late but I hope this helps other people who have the same issue and are viewing this thread!
Take the battery out of your phone and connect it to your computer. Use SP flash tools and flash the stock rom, using the option, "Format All + Download"
You may have to press a button or button combination to get SPFT to recognize your phone. My phone's volume rockers don't work so I cant help you with that, it was pure luck for me!
Once you let it flash, let the phone boot. It will take some time, longer than usual but it WILL boot. And the bootloader will be locked, so be prepared to start tinkering from scratch!

[Completed] Recovery not available

Hi,
Device is: Asus Zenfone 2, Z008
At some point I managed to brick it. Restored it using xFstk and some fastboot magic.
Now, the big issue is, I cannot boot to recovery.
I can load bootloader (do fastboot commands), chose "Recovery", but it will just boot normal into the OS. Droid with hazard doesn't appear, just normal boot.
Tried (not all at once)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format cache
installing twrp
flashing stock recovery.img
No joy.
What am I missing?

Hi !
A quick answer has been provided here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71063211&postcount=598
Try this command after placing this recovery img into the adb folder and boot into bootloader
fastboot devices
enter
(check if it is recognised) then
fastboot boot recovery.img
( where recovery.img should be the exact name of your recovery you want to boot into)
Keep an eye on that thread you already have posted , more users may have replied
Good luck !

After flashing twrp
Use fastboot erase userdata command via adb
Then reboot to twrp

You saved my ass (K30 5G). Thanks m8.

Thank you guys for answers. I have mi 8 lite and I've been trying to fix splash logo bug for almost 3 days. Here's what worked for me:
1. enter fastboot and enter these commands
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
2. Boot into recovery using volume buttons, not fastboot.

This has worked for me perfectly! Thanks!
I get this problem on my Mi 8 SPECIFICALLY after installing Pixel Experience. With other ROMs I don't have this issue.

Hi,
Question about the 'fastboot erase userdata' command : does it format the phone ? I mean, I have my phone running, Pixel Experience 12 on Oneplus 5T, and I would like to apply an update, and no way to enter in TWRP...
I wouldn't have to reinstall everything after that.
Thanks in advance

Hello Friends in dipper & PE I got this message at each time when trying to update :
adb sideload PixelExperience_dipper-12.1-20220521.zip
loading: 'PixelExperience_dipper-12.1-20220521.zip'
* cannot read 'PixelExperience_dipper-12.1-20220521.zip' *
& I don't know what to do; other recoveries get stuck on logo (TWRP, Orange fox)
I just succeed to root with magisk (by sideloading).
Is the ROM OK? I Ihoped with factory reset and changing recovery, not better...
Thanks for your help

not going into system after flashing twrp via fastboot

this is not troll, i just forgot command, but i understand where is problem, i just need help in issuing command, and also keeping TWRP after booting in system
okay, this is not usuall getting stuck in twrp after flashing it via fastboot.
i just need help how to boot , system
because way i installed it, is via fastboot:
' fastboot flash recovery twrp.img '
done good
but i mistakenly followed tutorial , and executed what they said should be okay (i mean it is okay, to boot it into recovery, but my phone manufacturer is stupid and don't include proper fastboot)
so i typed command
' fastboot boot recovery '
which it booted into recovery, and when i reboot into 'system' from twrp it boots into system. i had same issue, but i forgot command how to do this (and link to that solution also)
i just know that, last command, my phone misinterpret it , to boot recovery as boot way. instead of kernel, boot.img
------------------------------------------
because we have beautifull documentation on fastbood issued by google, i don't know how to make it boot system, i mean, boot.img
and, i want it to keep twrp installed, suprisingly, when i go power + volume up , sometimes it brings stock recovery and sometimes twrp.
for now, help me how to issue command, to boot kernel and not recovery
- and phone is: Allview Viva H801 , android 5.0
yea, some no name, that's why i'm asking for help
---------------
EDIT:
i think i managed to permamently flash TWRP, which was purpose, because now I can, use power on + volume up , and it always brings up TWRP (yay)
but now, i don't know how i can access bootloader (fastboot) , if i need to issue commands you instruct me to issue. i can use only twrp

Connect to adb while booted into TWRP and type the command:
adb reboot bootloader
That "should" boot into fastboot
For future reference, when flashing TWRP via fastboot, immediately after you flash the TWRP.img, enter the command:
adb reboot recovery
That should boot straight into TWRP and keep TWRP. If you let the device boot into any other mode than recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery, you have to boot directly into TWRP immediately after flashing it in order to keep TWRP.
