you have clockwork recovery right? theres an usb storage option in the recovery itself. connect it to your computer, turn on the usb storage. download a rom(and gapps) to your computer, copy/paste into the device, turn off usb storage, then flash the files in clockwork recovery. then reboot.
After you do what he said, either do alot of research about rooting, and flashing roms and kernels or sell your phone.

So I did follow your instruction. I went storage->mount usb storage->unmount(I can only select this, I try reboot the phone still give me this only option). so I also tried mount sdcard, mount system, all that.
Finlally, I got removable disk on my computer, but it show 0 byte, when i click on it, it says plz insert a disk into removeable disk. so i went click
property->hardwares->highlight Android UMS composite usb device(type: disk drive) and property. then I select driver-> and there is driver details, update driver. So do I update this driver? If so which driver?
I try to format it, it gives errorlz insert a disk into removeable disk
I have clcokworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 and it is unrooted. thank you for the help!
I also install PDAnet into my computer but it keep saying connecting to your phone..... I try using different usb port and no luck.

By the way you just click on mount usb storage and LEAVE IT there for a few seconds. It takes a little time for the computer to recognize it usually. You only click unmount when your done...
ok i got it. now i could put files into the sd storage. Do you guys know what i need to put for stock, out-of box image?
I need to reset this to factory setting and root the phone.
I did some serach but the file needed to download is not working anymore. anyone know? thank you

Coming from someone that also finds conditions & situations similar but not precisely like my own in the multitude of answered threads..... Some of us can get to a certain point but get stuck, and since these are devices we need to work we want to be sure we don't do something to turn an expensive device into a pretty paperweight.
You learned by fiddling and asking questions did you not? If you are sick of the same old question don't answer the thread.
Sorry, I have no great advice for the OP, you aren't an idiot you are uninformed [just yet] of the proper fix for your problem. I'm still trying to fix something myself so the couple of snipes hit a nerve this morning.
I read read read and read again, its been almost a week. Good god I cant get the solution or may be i dont undderstand it. I try go to cmd prompt and "type fast boot lock" to get it rooted. No luck
my phone situation:
No back up or recovery ( I wipe all sd/back up/system)
fasboot mode-no boot or recovery img
Lock state- unlocked
can only go into clockwork mod
my Goal: lock the phone and flash it to factory stock setting.
I just own nexus s for 7 days and did a ton of research coz stuck at google X animation keep loading and install MIUI and unroot the phone. Soooo stupid of me now that I broke the warranty. Softkeys is no even working!!!!!! when i suscessfully get into the phone.
is there a proper step by step to do this? is there any expert here that can point to the right direction? I am checking this post every 5 minutes
Clearly this is too much phone for you.

Ok I'll try to help you.
According to what I gather from your posts, you've been successful in unlocking the bootloader and managed to flash CWM recovery, that's a good first step.
Your goal is still unclear. Ok, you want to re-lock the phone and 'restore to factory stock settings'? Does that mean you want a stock firmware on your phone or would you settle for a custom firmware, like Cyanogenmod or MIUI? Either way, visit the Nexus S Development forum, there's a full list of firmwares , just pick whichever you want and download that.
Here's a fantastic topic with a list of all firmwares and also plenty of links to guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067813
Enter CWM recovery mode (VolumeUP + Power button and select Recovery in the Bootloader options).
Go to mounts and storage. We want to mount or SDcard so we can transfer files from the PC to the SDcard as a USB mass storage device. Make sure the phone is connected through USB.
So, select the option: - mount USB Storage. Wait for a few seconds, it takes a while to get initialized by the PC.
Once it's recognized by your PC, copy the downloaded firmware to the SDcard. It should have a .zip extension and be approximately 100mb (of course depending on which flavour you picked, but that's somewhat the standard).
Once it's copied, go back in the CWM main menu and select "Install zip from sdcard". If you want, you can first wipe your cache and Dalvik cache, but since you clearly wiped everything already this shouldn't be necessary, so anyway; install zip from sdcard and select your firmware.zip file. Select it and press the power button to execute the install.
It will install the firmware plus the kernel that it's packed with, all this should be enough to get your phone booted. So reboot your phone and it should work.
Once you've successfully booted into your device, you can do whatever you like. If you want to lock the bootloader again though, you'll need to reverse the steps you took to unlock it. This is through ADB and Fastboot. But this topic explains it step by step and in detail, all credits to the OP: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875630).
If the bootloader is locked again, you shouldn't have any issues with the warranty. It's a Nexus...
Some of your posts were a bit contradictory so I can only assume what your current status is with your phone.
Maybe you should also understand what everything means and does instead of blindy formatting disks and running random commands. Learn what ADB is, learn what Fastboot does. See how the bootloader works and where the recovery comes in, read up on the different firmwares and what kernels do. It might seem like a big investment of your time, but it will help you understand the boot process of the Nexus.
Good luck,
Greetz
Hey everyone. So everything was good for the last couple of days as I was on JellyBAM 6.6.0 evita. This morning after charging my phone I go to open it, view some websites etc. Phone reboots by itself, goes to lockscreen. I try unlocking my lockscreen everything good for about 10 seconds. Try to open facebook up, and boom phone goes black and will not turn on. I know for a fact that is 100% charged as when I woke up I checked the battery as I usually do to see if it charged or not.
I am pretty sure I am on Hboot 1.09 or less as I bought the phone close to the release date. Any thoughts because its weird how I cant turn even turn it on or have a LED light show up when it charges.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Ok somehow my phone just turned on by itself and I took the opportunity to go into TWRP. Tried restoring but to a previous backup. Became stuck in boot screen. Went back into twrp tried to wipe the system and factory reset but somehow it says failed and that its not able to mount storage or anything. All of my data is gone now for some reason and it says no OS is installed. Do I have to RUU back again?
have you tried getting into bootloader by holding volume down and power? or a hard reset by holding power button for like 30 seconds

Yeah I forgot to mention I have tried getting into bootloader using the volume down + power process along with holding the power button. Nothing is working.
This phone has well-known power management issues. Sometimes the battery stats get corrupted and the phone thinks the battery is dead when it isn't. Unfortunately, this sometimes results in a brick.
Plug into your PC and see what pops up in Device Manager. If you get QHUSB_DLOAD, you've been bricked. However, this may be fixable since you're on 1.09.

Additionally, under device manager it comes up as unknown. I am going to install the ADB drivers for Windows 8 and see if that does anything

Well, wiping /system and factory reset means the OS is erased. Could be the sdcard got corrupted. You'll need to reformat it.
Good news is you're not bricked; its just a matter of getting the software in order.

Ok so should I follow like this.
Download HTC drivers
Download 1.71 RUU
Done?
Because right now my computer does not recognize my phone. Installing the htc sync and the drivers hasnt made my computer (windows 8) to recognize my phone.

Did you try formatting in twrp? Ruu'ing might be overkill here. Can adb see the phone even if windows can't?

I had a similar problem last night with a "missing" SDcard in TWRP. Thankfully, I found a utility that you can run through fastboot that will restore the SDcard without ruu.
HOWEVER...that utility and website link that I found it on are on my computer at home...and I'm not at home
Although, I did find the utility through a google search.
Let me know if you find it. If not - I'll find the link when I get home.

I dont know if this matters but I factory resetted from bootloader in the beginning after I was able to turn on my phone. Maybe everything got wiped because I did that?
Does anyone know how I can get windows to recognize my phone because I have looked at several guides on google and nothing is working for me.

Boot back in to your recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Format system and then install your ROM. There are major differences between CM11 and CM7. When making big jumps like that it's always best to format system before installing a ROM.

I just did factory reset via cwm
And still have a problem
So do just what you say and do
system format?
You mean that you are going to have a system folder in the mount and stroage given formatting?

In CWM select Wipe data/factory reset. This will wipe the cache, dalvik cache and a couple other partitions. Then go to Mounts and Storage and select Format System. That will format the system partition.
Now go back to CWM home screen and install your ROM.

Hi,
May I ask for help here (instead of creating a new thread) ? I have the same problem: The device is booting loop at the LG screen. Bricked it when I wanted to save the ROM with ROM Manager.
I have no access to recovery mode, but Emergency mode does work (With and without battery).
I've followed multiple guides, including this one:
Most of you are stuck on a yellow screen with”Emergency mode!!” or the phone is not responding at all. You guys wanted a custom rom like Optimus Prime-v2 and let me tell you, this time it will work. Optimus One P500 comes with stock android 2.2 – V10a, V10b … and android 2.2.1 – V10n. They might be done for different regions depending upon the phone release and its popularity and definitely bug fixes and enhancements. To have Prime-v2 on your handset you will require V10a or V10b on your handset. Reason, V10n stock cannot be rooted easily. Rooting the handset is must if Prime-v2 is required on the device. Steps to install V10a, V10b series. I am using Windows 7 32-bit, 3 GB RAM laptop:
1. Clean your system first; get rid of LG PC suite and other stuff shown in Uninstall Program with vendor name as LG. Remove MSXML builts from the handset. Remove Nokia and other drivers if they are on system like Ovi suite etc. I also removed a lot of Microsoft runtime environments. Not sure about the reason but it worked for me.
2. LG usb device drivers, download the application B2CAppSetup.exe http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe .
3. In the Menu Bar, click "Options & Help", and click "Country & Language". Select the appropriate Country & Language. I used India and select P500 from the list that popup after you change the country and region. It will download, install and save the drivers somewhere in C:\LGP500\USB_Driver, it will prompt to open the rar files, just click and install the exes seen in them.
4. Reboot the system.
5. Right click on Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager and see for three drivers – LG android usb modem, LGE serial usb port and LG composite USB device. Disable the modem driver and reboot once again.
6. Switch off the phone and press volume up + BACK button + POWER button. Phone should turn yellow with text “Emergency Mode!!” To switch it off you have to remove the battery (I know it hurts, but that’s the only way out here). Switch off and let’s continue with the setup.
7. To do the KDZ of system you will require the KDZ software updater, links keep going off and on internet. Try searching for “KDZ_FW_UPD_EN” or “KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z” in Google and download the software. It should be somewhere around 2.3 MB. To use it you will required some good version of WinZip or winrar again Google it and install the 7z archive utility.
8. Install msxml.msi as the manual or readme.txt says to do so.
9. To get the V10x Official ROM, you need to first determine the ROM of your choice. List of all firmware available for LG Optimus One P500 (list of codes) http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500 , search for your country (use IE it looks sexy in it), I looked out for IND/INDIA. Download link to the ROM is http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/XXXXX/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz where XXXX is code from list of codes. In my case it was: AINDBK. Save the file.
10. Prepare the handset by removing the SD card and boot it to emergency mode (some are already stuck on it so reading this post…: D) using the key combination stated above.
11. Connect to the PC and it should say, installing drivers’ blah… blah … your device is ready to use now.
12. Run the KDZ updater downloaded in step 7. Select 3GQCT in Type, DIAG in PhoneMode, and browse for ROM V10a in KDZ file and hit Launch Software update. Wait for somewhere around 5-10 minutes. It should say ===FINISHED=== in the log window of updater.
13. Handset will reboot, if not wait for another 5 minutes. Unplug from USB and try to switch it on.

My problem is that KDZ still doesn't find my phone after all these attempts - I uninstalled the device driver, then reinstalled it succesfully (B2CAppSetup.exe). I reboot, install msxml.msi, and start KDZ.
Next, I power my phone in Emergency phone, plug it, and it is detected for the first time by the computer. I do have LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device, listed in the Device Manager, as well as LGE Android Platform USB Modem.
Using KDZ, I select the "3GQCT" type, phone mode "DIAG", with the correct KDZ file I've downloaded earlier. Once I launch the software update, phone is not found.
I've tried several times, including desactivating the LG Modem from the Device Manager; unfortunately, when I disable it I need to reboot - I do reboot, but then the LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device is absent from the device manager, and isn't detected by Windows at all, until I fully reinstall the driver (...).
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong - note that I use a laptop with Windows 7 x64; I know laptops handle USB port in a different way than desktops.
Can you help please?
I must be SO close... =(
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

First, serious word of advice. Stay away from ROM Manager. It does not handle this device correctly.
It sounds to me like you are not entering Emergency Mode correctly. Yes, the LG USB Modem must be disabled. Power off the device. Press the "Back + Volume Up + Power" buttons together until the device boots to Emergency Mode. Now connect device to you PC/laptop. This can also be done with the battery removed and the device off. Same method except no power button involved. Press the "Volume Up + Back" buttons while attaching your device to your data cable, assuming it's already attached to your PC/laptop.
The attachment I've posted is a stripped down version of the KDZ Updater. All you need to supply is the correct KDZ file for your phone. This one does not require any of LG's other crap software either.
Download to your PC. Extract to a folder of your choosing. Read the ReadMe.txt carefully and follow it's directions to the letter. I just used this to revive two ( 2 ) bricked P506's.
If you can boot to fastboot mode, there is a tool in my signature, Android Flash Recovery, that is designed to flash a recovery to a device with fastboot. So you have two options to restore, revive your device.

Hey, cheers !!
That was all I needed to do with this simple version, the update got applied properly, and I saw the FINISHED message.
My phone "rebooted". Well, what I see now if the Android logo with a big " ! ", which is normal according to what I've read.
I will do more ressearch to make sure what I do if correct now: is this safe to power off/reboot at this screen? I believe it's the last step.

Holding the power button does not shut it down - pull the battery, right (It won't screw the thing right before the end ? XD ) ?
Look.. correct:
12 - Start the phone again. If you get stuck in a screen with an Android and an exclamation mark ("!") in a triangle, just unplug the USB cable and the battery. Plug the battery again and start the phone. It will take 2 to 5 minutes to reboot for the first time and the boot animation will be the stock LG (your carrier's stock animation is lost for good), but chances are your phone is intact, with all it's apps and configurations working the same as before the incident. When the boot finishes, turn off the phone again and put back the SD Card you took off on the first step.

If KDZ Updater says it's done and your device has rebooted to recovery, then yes you can pull the battery to shut it down. You may still need to do the key presses for a factory reset, but the key combo has slipped my mind for the moment. Old age...

Really nice, I have the Android logo !!
I will wait - people says it can take up to 5-15 minutes or even more - I won't shutdown on the logo.
Letting you know as soon as it's done.
***
After a while, the device booted, and I had a few messages saying it was restoring all the settings!
No data loss! Nothing (I had backed up my contacts and apps on my SD Card already - I was unsure if I would have loose my SMSs, I didn't) is lost !
Dude, seriously, thanks A BUNCH - this is ridiculous, I screwed the phone up at like 10PM yesterday, and did not went to sleep until 2AM because I couldn't fix the thing (I had access to FastBoot at first. I did a process to restore it from Fastboot, it should have worked properly, but then I only had access to the LG logo. Man, I thought I was toasted, and had to spend 50$ for a new phone, just because of a stupid mistake. Never would I thought that SAVING the ROM of my SD card would have screwed up the ROM!)...
I spent like 6 hours today trying to fix it, reinstalling the drivers over and over again... Installing a fresh new Windows XP on a machine, just so I could install everything on a new operating system to figure out the problem...
That was just plain crazy, seriously.
****BONUS****
The first thing I've noticed when I booted my phone was the BLACK notification bar
I really love black, and I once did ressearch a while ago to see if I could turn my white bar into black (I have Android 2.2.1), but no success.
I just realised I got it updated "accidentally" to Android 2.3, and so I was on Android 2.2. since 2011 (when I bought it) !
Well, nice addition, it is sexier with black
I belive it's because of the KDZ file I've used... I had a really hard time to find one, all the links were broken, from 2010, it's a old phone. I found the KDZ from Koodo, Canadian French, exactly my own.
Guess I "accidentally" upgraded to Android 2.3 then Nice addition !
I have no experience at all with fixing Android devices / ROM stuff - I'm used with Windows/Linux and others, but Android (although Android is a version of Linux) is another thing for me.
THANKS - seriously, I wouldn't have made it without your help.

Thanks for helping NOOBS, i appreciate that!
I was trying wipe everything on the phone but for some reason it saids no OS. So when it boots up, I only see the google word on the screen.
Trying to flash the stock rom, followed instruction to install adb drivers...etc then boot the phone into fastboot mode,. This is the one screen I can get so far. Looks like my pc can't detect my phone. it saids failed when running those commands...Can someone give me a hint what to do next?
All I want is to put the stock rom back in.
thx
you didnt wipe data, you wiped your system partition, wiped the rom off your phone. and that screenshot is the stock recovery. you need to boot into the bootloader to flash the factory img(stock). the bootloader is the same as fastboot mode.
I did wipe data. I remember I checked that box
I also got this error in the command line.

before you tried any code.. did you do "fastboot devices" first, to make sure fastboot sees your phone?
also, sounds like you used twrp recovery. if you just swipe on the wipe screen, it wipes your partitions. if you chose advanced, then it gives you a list of things to wipe, then all you'd do is choose data and wipe.
I power down the phone, hit vol down + power. And I see the Fastboot mode
I connected the usb cable to my pc, but when I ran the code, it saids device not found. My pc can't see it
Now I am not using twrp at all just want to at least have the fastboot mode see my pc. but it is not.
Any other step i can make the phone communicate to my pc ?

you're going to have to install that driver first, before it'll see your phone. you are using windows? try koushes universal adb driver for windows http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
I did. I installed it. I have tried different drivers.
If I goto device manager, Android Device and under that it saids "Android Bootloader Interface".
I don't see anything saying Nexus or so.

If everything else fails try lg flashtool as a plan B. Link in my signagure.
Will try everything you say. Also this is a screen capture.
When I put the phone in fastboot mode, I notice this pops up under device manager (screen shot)
So does it mean it detects the phone right? But for some reason when I run the command code, it saids device not found.

It means you installed the drivers right.
Reboot your PC, try other USB port, close any unecessary apps in the background, avoid USB3.0 ports or run the flash-all.bat in administrator mode. These are the ideas that have come into my mind in this moment.
Oh by the way I was following your link.
RIght now my phone has the screen firmware update. do not unplug.. the usb connection until the process is complete....
Then follow the rest of your instructions.
Now how do I Enter your phone to Download Mode. ? Right now still with this screen "Firmware update".

When you see "Firmware update" that is the download mode. Watch the video I made. Maybe it explains everything more.
I got that part. Now I am using the LG Flash Tool, port 1 com41. I clicked the yellow arrow and screen showing it is ready. But on the phone I don't need any progress at all, it is till 0%. would it automatically run it itself ?

if your pc cannot detect your phone , it seems you havn't install driver.
Hello Lovely people of XDA,
It has been a while since I have requested help here due to the huge library of information available but I am unable to solve this one and I think it should be pretty simple.
For completeness, here is the order of events:
ROOTed One and running stock CM11s with no problems since August 2014.
Wanted a smoother system so flashed vanilla Franco Kernel (very nice) yesterday.
Wanted a bit more so after some searching, found the SlimSaber ROM with TyrV74-Linaro Kernel as a suitable choice.
Now, I followed order of install but stupidly, didnt clear the cache or dalvik cache following install.
I got stuck in boot loop so booted to fastboot to open recovery through ADB.
PROBLEM STARTS
My PC didnt recognise my device and this was confirmed through the blank list returned when using "ADB Devices" in the command window.
I updated the drivers through the ADB interface, restarted computer and tried again. Same thing. I then downloaded the drivers from the Google link in one of the forums (http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top), restarted and connected again. I then tried two solutions (although they both do the same thing) and update the drivers through Device Manager and searching for them using the "have disk" option.
This still didnt work.
From what I can tell this is a driver issue but I have installed several times now the most up to date drivers and from what I can tell, the only difference between my screenshots and the help pages/forum posts is that my Device Manager list doesn't recognise the phone as the A0001, just an "Android Device" (pic attached).
I have searched the forums and all roads lead to either re-installing the drivers or changing the driver settings through device manager, both of which I have tried several times but no joy when I use ADB to check for devices.
Any ideas? I will try anything as I now have a beautifully BOOT-Looped OnePlus!
Also, if anyone knows how to boot to recovery from phone off state then that will also help!
Also tried the Samsung drivers...
OK, having managed to get the Comp to regognise in Fastboot, is there a way I can flash a nandroid through fastboot? I have checked and it says I need to flash three images but the only saved backups I have are .win files and there is only one (judging by the size of the file)

You can't flash a nandroid with fastboot, only with the specific recovery you used to create the nandroid.

But now I am in a situation where I can (kinda) boot to system and I get a few precious clicks before the ROM crashes (either flashed wrong or ROM unstable....but irrelevant) so can now boot to recovery (managed to quickly DL an advanced power menu) but I can not move my backup to the phone to flash the backup. Any ideas?

strangely enough....when I fastboot reboot, it loads to system and as long as I keep the phone connected to PC it loads...when I remove it and boot, it crashes. I know this is the case as I wiped cache and delvik and nothing happened when removed but when I booted to system while connected it started updated gapps.... if that helps anyone....

You don't need to boot into the ROM to get to recovery. Turn the phone off, then hold volume down + power, once you see the initial splash screen let go of power but keep holding volume down until you get to recovery.
Why can't you move the backup? Please provide specifics, it will decrease the amount of back-and-forth we have to do to solve your issue.

I cant move file as, I presume, its down to drivers. Which I am unclear as to why? I can access the device through fastboot but when I go through "MyComputer", I get the icon for the phone but when I enter, no files (See Screenshots). If you want specific screenshots then let me know. When I transfer the backup....
Which drivers do you currently have installed?

BTW, I do have full access to phone (BOOT to system) while plugged in and can install that way so Im thinking...maybe upload backup to server/cloud and then download through app on phone, boot to recovery and flash from there?

Yeah that's probably a reasonable option, but it most likely won't solve the issue of not being able to copy files across. When you're booted into Android does the device show up as an MTP device in Windows and allow you to copy files, or is it broken there also?

MTP is the format that's used to mount the internal storage on your phone to your PC so you see it as a removable drive. There's no app required, so if you're not seeing your phone storage on your PC then MTP isn't working.
First thing to try: go to Settings/Storage and hit the little menu button in the top corner, there should be an MTP option in there. If it isn't enabled, enable it and try connecting to your PC again. If it is already enabled then it's time to look at your drivers.
I'd completely uninstall the Samsung drivers, reboot your PC, then install the Universal adb drivers, reboot PC again, connect your phone to your PC, you should get an automatic popup saying that device drivers are installing (or something like that), let that complete, then try looking at your phone storage again.

There should be no need to update the drivers, because they're a fresh download they should be the latest.
