Hey guys, im really desperate right now
Had xz dualrecovery and moonbreakers rom installed and wanted to do a clean install. I wiped system (which wasn't very clever i know) and wanted to reboot into recovery.
But now i can't get into recovery no more, tried volume up/down directly after turning on the phone. It just gets stuck at the sony screen. :crying:
The led doesn't turn green as well as it normally does
Is the situation really as serious as this thread might suggest?

No other way of getting into recovery and flash the rom? Without flashing with flashtool
Edit: my bootloader is locked
When you wiped the system you wiped the recovery as recovery is installed to the system partition on locked boot loaders.
You should be able to fix this by flashing a stock for and starting again from the root process...

Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
Hey everyone, I need help for my Xoom 3G MZ601, I just rooted it and flashed EOS' rom and I'm stuck at bootanimation. I'm new to rooting and flashing custom roms for tablets, its different in phones.
When you say you are stuck, what have you tried to do? Have you tried to get back into your custom recovery? If you can, you could try to reflash your rom and gapps after wiping cache and dalvik cache. You would have your system wiped when you unlocked, but you could wipe again before reflashing...that might help.
Yes, I wiped everything, I did this 5 times and the same thing happens, stuck in bootanim.

1. Do you have a backup of your stock rom? if you have a backup and recovery works you should be able to recover your stock system and everything will be allright.
2. If you don't have a backup enter this site motodev site (i can't post any links) download correct firmware for your device and flash every part of downloaded rom via fastboot.
I hope it will help you
It seems like your recovery img is the culprit, try downloading eos with goomanager..
try; adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6-softkeys.img or http://goo.im/devs/teameos/recoveries/wingray/eos-recovery-r6.img
adb reboot recovery
Well I rooted my phone and flahsed some ROMs, I mean I installed rom after rom to check the best for me and they kinda ****ed my phone... I mean I get incoming phone calls and I can answer them only if Im in lock screen so its kinda ****ed up.. I want to go back into being rooted but not with costum roms, I wiped everything completly (only internal memory left unwiped) and now I'm stuck in boot loop.. Can you help me?
If you had taken a nandroid backup of the stock rooted rom, now's the time to restore it. If not, then you will need to download the factory images from Here and flash them via fastboot and then flash a custom recovery and root it again.

If you actually wiped everything, it won't boot unless you flashed the stock image/another ROM.
Yes, just flash stock onto it with fastboot. Done. Clean slate.
Hello! I need help. I was on 5.0.2, rooted, and wanted to flash a 5.1.1. ROM. I have XZDualRecovery. So I booted into TWRP Recovery, and wiped everything( System, Data, Internal Memory) because I wanted it to be a clean installation. I don't know why I decided to restart TWRP, so when I did so, the phone restarted and stayed on SONY logo for a while. I tried powering it up with holding power+VolUp, power+VolDown, it didn't work. I can power it off with Power+VolUp. But it only gets to the Sony logo whenever I try to start it. The phone doesn't get detected in both cases, neither from flashtool nor from ADB. And it is pretty much useless now. How can I get out of this situation? I need urgent help..

Flash a stock ftf and start again.
If your wipe system and restart your phone you have no system to boot into, and because dual recovery is installed in the system partition you have wiped that when you wiped the system so you cannot boot into it again.
