I think CWM is not working well with 4.2.1. I would try TWRP as custom recovery, but be very (as in VERY) sure to install the TWRP version meant for your bootloader. In General section you can find a very good how-to written by pjc21, which also list which bootloader and TWRP versions match. The guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195883
Use that and don't forget to thank pjc21.

Trying to update twrp..."trying"

I was trying to update this Nexus S, used to be mine but gave it away to someone, now is back and I was trying to update the whole thing, recovery, Os, yet I can't find a proper way to update the recovery and also I have Win8...when I got this phone rooted I had a Win7 machine, life was great, now with Win8 some things seem far from easy.
So I wonder if any kind soul could assist me as to lend me a hand about updating TWRP 2.3 to 2.7 so I can install a fresh rom, i have tried TWRP manager (useless as it can't find the proper device), Flashify is useless also as it can't find the img file and only shows TWRP 2.1 (why the fk do I need 2.1 when I have 2.3 ?), and Rashr is no good (it simple doesn't do anything at all... )
Any help is welcome.

Also, let me if you need help in installing drivers in Windows 8. I too am using Nexus S on Windows 8.1

Thanks so much fo the Zip, is way easier to just have this done via TWRP/ZIP, than trying to install drivers and so on, it becomes a pain when one thing fails and then u have to start downloading files drivers and more.
Now I'll just start checking roms!

Hi There,
The latest Recovery for Nexus S is TWRP v2.8.x. Well u will need to flash the Twrp v2.8.x using fastboot because if you try installing the recovery using the TWRP Manager it will crash. I have a guide on how to root nexus s in the nexus s development section..Go through it . If you have a rooted Nexus S then skip to contect showing how to flash a custom recovery using Fastboot in my guide go through it and Enjoy..
Happy Flashing.
Good Luck

[Completed] Acer A510 Bricked, Any suggetions?

Hi all.
I have been lurking and reading, now time to post.
Like the title says, I have been given an A510 that did work, until he tried to flash it, and failed............
Tried all the tips to get it to start, no dice.
All I get is "Boot image verified failed" or "Entering boot menu mode, Recovery image verified failed".
I guess the question is, what can be done to correct this, or is it toast?
I have tried all of the suggestions in these forums and other sources on the 'net.
Thank you for your time, and keep up the good work!:good:
David.

Hi David !
Can you tell us what exactly "he" tried to flash ?
Thank you !

Hi
From what I understand, tried to flash Clockwork Mod recovery, with all the wipe options checked, but I would have to contact Steve to confirm.
I am well versed in networking and all versions of Windows ( work in IT part time) but Android is confusing to me
Not sure if that helps.
Thanks.
Dave.

So , when you flash CWM recovery , there are no options to check anything while doing that , maybe he wiped after entering into CWM and maybe he erased everything afterwards
Just ask Steve about what exactly he did and btw , tell him Hi !

Hi.
Just so we are clear, this used to belong to my brother Steve, he has passed on to me as a project.
If I was the one who flashed it and bricked it, I would say so, I am a big boy and have messed up before...............................
Been playing with computers from the Win 3.1 days and have had my share of "mishaps"
Now that that is out of the way, I text him and asked what exactly he did, and he said he was in stalling the Clockwork Recovery Mod, and that is how the tablet ended up in its current state, that is all the info I have.
So the simple question is, can it be recovered or not?
Seeing as it will not boot far enough to be able to access it with USB I am thinking not.
I have the factory downloads for it.
Thanks.
David.

After a quick search I have found this thread , have alook at it , there are some workarounds and also you can post your issue there , good luck !
