I'm going to probably get a lot of hate for this because there are a ton of forums that might get me here. I did search for about 3 hours tonight and discovered some things but am still confused. I hope someone can help this be more simple. So a friend has a Nexus S that isn't working (I have a Nexus S by the by too). It's unlocked but no ClockWork on it. I can press volume up and power to get to fastboot mode. When I click on "reboot," the phone will just loop on the Google logo. If I click recovery, it starts to boot then shows the triangle with the exclamation mark. From there, I can press power and up or down on volume to get the blue screen which says reboot system now, apply update, wipe, wipe. You get it. I'm stuck...I can also turn off the phone, hold volume up/down and plug in the usb to get to "downloading..."
I want to get this phone working and back to stock. I have the SDK Manager (my phone isn't rooted so I use it to take screenshots) and pda net (which I still don't understand why or how to use with this) and two versions of Odin. It seems like Odin can get this working but I can't get it to work or find a clear guide on how to use it and which ones to use. This is a Tmob Nexus S, I think the i9020. Any help would be so greatly appreciated and I will give you all the credit. Oh, and i can pull up the device on ddms with the sdk manager and can explore the files but there is nothing. I can't find a way to drag a file on the phone to "apply update from /sdcard." Sorry again and thanks again!

It seems your boot.img file either corrupted or missing.
Find a working copy of file, flash it via ADB interface or fastboot. Flash recovery file CWM. If that doesnt work, Try flashing CM7 Rom or someother ROM.
Did you check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545 ?
Odin should be your last resort, if nothing really works for you.
If you want to return to stock, simply flash the NAND backup found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093 .

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I think I've made some headway...I can "see" the device with cmd by typing adb devices. After that though, I don't understand how to get the stock nexus s rom on the phone. How do I move that file to my phone (what's the line of code I type)? I've tried "adb install <c:\grh78> but it says the syntax isn't correct. Any more help is so greatly appreciated and I appreciate the already prompt response. Thanks!!!

Download your rom of choice (stock, custom)
Flash Cwm via fastboot if you haven't already
Boot into recovery.
Use adb push to push your zipped rom to the sdcard (adb push file.zip /sdcard/file.zip)
Use cwm to flash this zip.

Wow fast responses. I bet it's annoying to help yet another person having issues (again, phone was given to me like this but yeah...) while you guys or gals already know how to do these things very well. Here's where I'm stuck. I enter this code in cmd:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
and it just says < waiting for device >.
Here's a pic of the screen that I'm on with my phone when i enter the command.
http://imgur.com/Pey3W
If I'm just in the first screen by holding volume up and power, the computer won't read the phone. So I click recovery, the screen shows it's trying to install something then the triangle exclamation mark, i press volume up/down with power and get this screen and the computer can "see" my phone on cmd.
How do I get this flipping clockwork on this phone or get the stock image on my sd card? Thanks again for helping me out guys. I have taken a look at the links you have sent me and that's where i found the download as well as the code to enter. I will keep looking at them but if you find a faster solution, please let me know.
One more thing to be super clear on...when I'm on the screen on the Nexus S that says Fastboot Mode on top in red and Lock State - Unlocked...my computer won't read the phone, therefore I cannot fastboot the recovery img...

So you already tried "fastboot devices" while in fastboot mode?
Edit: Actually it sounds you really want stock so download the complete stock OTA ROM (including boot.img etc.), rename it to update.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into the stock recovery like you did already and hit apply update.
EDIT: Go here to download the correct OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
Find the correct 2.3.6 "Full ROM" for your phone model. Sounds like in those instructions you don't need to rename to update.zip. Haven't seen stock recovery for a while so I don't remember.
If there is a wipe option in the stock recovery then do that first.
Yes I have tried fastboot devices in fastboot mode but nothing because my computer doesn't read the phone in that mode. And yes, I want to put the stock rom on there but that's the key, I can't get access to the root of my sdcard. I can't push anything into the sdcard to flash it. Any ideas what to type or how to access the sdcard? Thanks a million, billion.
Also, I can't get the phone to boot at all, like I can't get passed the Google Logo if I reboot so I can't access the sdcard in the traditional way.

Connect with adb and type this:

If fastboot devices returns NOTHING then this is most likely a driver issue. Remove the device through device manager, make sure you have a recent SDK (for the USB driver) and let it re-detect.

If you can get into the boot loader and get a proper USB driver you should be able to flash a recovery.
Once you've flashed Clockwork Mod (recovery) you'll be able to push to the sdcard using ADB or possibly mount the sd card through the CWM menu (although I've yet to have that work).
In order to get a recovery flashed though you need to get fastboot to see your device (unless you can already boot into recovery, then just use ADB).

If he's stuck at the Google logo and has a trash boot.img it's not likely he'll be able to get a shell via ADB. Now, if the system is hanging starting a device or looping during boot then that's possible.

Indeed - I saw no clockwork and figured he'd toasted his recovery image as well, but it does look like stock recovery is there. ADB should push fine to the sdcard from recovery then.
More...so if i type in adb reboot bootloader in the recovery screen, it does just that...great. But then my computer makes a noise, a double tap if you will...like a dun dun, like something didn't work. When you plug in something to the computer it usually goes like dun na...but the phone clearly won't read when I'm in bootloader/fastboot mode. So when I type a command, nothing will work...

That noise is that it detects a device has been connected (assuming a recent version of windows). If you want to flash CWM you need to get the driver sorted for the device. No amount of plugging/unplugging is going to fix it.
If you have the stock recovery you can boot into the stock recovery, use adb to push the full OTA package to the sd card and then just flash that from the stock recovery.

Go to the stock recovery like you have done before and type the adb command I wrote above.
Thanks is all I can say. Okay so when I type in the command, this is what I get:
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
the "stock recovery" I can get into is the picture I posted a link for. That's what I can access as well as the fastboot mode when I first turn on the phone with volume up/power. But when my computer makes the noise that it's connected (using Windows 7 64bit) it makes a different sound then the normal "device connected." Like it's corrupted.
by the way...if we can get this working, I'll post a picture of me holding the fixed phone!

I think I'm also experiencing the same thing, and could really use someone's help.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and have rooted it. My display is broken, so would try to use the how-to to create a headless backup.
When I try to reboot it into download mode, it seems to never come back. I believe it's waiting for a keypress on the phone, or scrolling through a menu to select the right option so it can continue to boot. Can anyone with a working display confirm this for me?
I rooted it a while ago, so don't remember what's on the screen.
When I try to reboot in recovery mode, I'm also unable to select the proper menu option to continue to boot into recovery mode.
Is it always necessary to boot into download mode first, or only if you want to download something? In other words, if I only want to reboot into recovery, can I skip the download mode boot first?
Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex
You don't need to enter download mode first. From command prompt enter adb reboot recovery and your good to go

I also installed custom rom AOSPrime. and then for going back to stock, i needed to enter download mode. None of the commands worked. i made a backup of everything in twrp except system and data. so i restored that back, and then voila, the LG logo was back but didnt boot(obvious). Now i could easily go by the vol up and then usb connection process to goto download mode.
the default stock settings enable the download mode to work.
if anyone needs the backup, mine may be of other region, but it could surely bring back the lg logo and stuff.
quote me and i will post the link
ggossamer : before download mode you need to confirm download mode with volume+ or you can cancel the thing with vol- , IIRC .
For your other questions, I think, recovery with a broken screen might be difficult, maybe use ADB

My phone is bootlooping and the power button has been broken for a while. I've tried various things posted in other threads, just wondering if anyone has any solutions or ideas.
I can't seem to get it to connect with usb in the bootloader but it does connect while bootlooping. Can I fix it while connected in the bootloop?
edit: Actually, now that I've researched more, I'm pretty sure the problem is that my bootloader is frozen. That's why neither my functioning volume keys or adb works in the bootloader.

Can you get into recovery?
No I can't get into recovery because my volume buttons won't let me navigate the bootloader options. They aren't broken, they just don't work in the bootloader for some reason. My power button is physically broken though so I don't know how to get to recovery or if I can even use recovery without the power button...
I think fastboot will work without a power button?

1) Download latest CWM Touch.
2) Follow steps from here to install CWM.
3) Boot in recovery using the command in the above link.
4) Download a flashable touch recovery from here.
5) Mount USB in the recovery and copy this zip and flash it. This will make your custom recovery permanent. Reboot to recovery again just to verify.
Now, you have a touch recovery accessible through fastboot and can install custom ROMs

Thanks for the step by step! The problem is I still can't get the adb working in the bootloader to install CWM Touch. When I type adb reboot bootloader it says "no device connected." If I type the same command while the phone is bootlooping it says "device unauthorized."

You can't use adb in fastboot. There are fastboot commands for that.

You can wait till the battery drain and then connect your phone to PC holding the volume button to enter bootloader and then using Nexus Root Toolkit flash your stock rom.

I've been looking everywhere but I couldn't find an answer. I have been trying to unlock my bootloader on my Alcatel pop 4 but when I restart to bootloader mode with ADB it just goes back the normal andriod OS. I have also tried to turn it off and then hold the volume down / up, but that doesn't do anything either. I have also tried to restart to bootloader mode via recovery mode to no success. Any help would be great as I have tried mostly everything I could find though google because this phone isn't that well know. Thanks in advance.
Been having same issue here, even when i try kingroot and kingoroot to root the phone it restarts and looses root access.
Been thinking of making my own custom rom for this device aswell, but i cant seem to find the update files for it.

Same for me on a Alcatel POP4 6 (7070x). ADB see the phone, but Fastboot don't. Pressing VOL+/Power and I have only Android Recovery and just able to reboot to System. No rooting program (One click from the phone itself, nor from a PC, aka Kingoroot, Kingroot, Rootgenius...) work.
Did anyone get to atleast boot any alcatel tab into fastboot mode, let alone unlock boootloader?
I have a A3 10" tab. I get the same outcome as the others mentioned here. Can;t even boot into fastboot mode.
Alcatel Shine Lite but same problem. Can't get into bootloader or fastboot mode and therefore cannot root. None of the one click root services work as I'm on android 6.0. Tried adb reboot bootloader, just restarts, tried volume keys and power, tried Reboot to bootloader in recovery, still just reboots. The only thing that I can get to happen is for a preloader device to show up but for less than a second, windows or linux. Anyone got a solution, I've been looking for ages.
Same problem on 7070x
Any solution?
Hello Everyone,
I hope you are doing good, Cant run my S7 G930T mobile.
I have upgraded OS via Odin, it passed but phone is not getting work.
Sometimes it doesn't open recovery boot and gets stuck at Recovery Booting.....
Sometimes it restart from the installing applications screen.
If you have any files for binary 11 (B) or anything i need to do before flashing OS via Odin.
Please help me
I'd be very thankful to you.

Can you be more specific about your booting issues?
Is the device boot looping? How far through the booting process do you get before failure? and what happens after failure?
Can you get your phone into recovery mode or download mode?

Sometimes it gets ON normally and after some time it reboots itself and then it keeps doing it again and again, and sometimes it gets on and goes straight to the recovery mode, and yes i can get my phone into download mode too.
If you have precious data you want to keep, then you should create a back up of your phone, if you haven't already done so.
If you're unconcerned about data or have created a backup, then you could factory restore from recovery mode.
Alternatively, if you haven't got the latest version of Odin, then you could try downloading the latest Odin software and attempt another flash.
Another thing you could try, is to sideload the update via adb. You will of course need the latest adb software which is easy to find. You can follow this xda guide here (https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/), or if you prefer it you could download Android Studio from here (https://developer.android.com/studio).
To sideload the update you will have to:
1. Boot phone into recovery mode. Hold the volume up, home, and power buttons, and then let go of the power button when it power on.2. When in recovery mode, select the option, "Apply update from ADB."3. With your phone plugged into the computer, open the cmd/terminal and type "adb devices". The cmd should start up adb and display something like:List of devices attached[device id] sideload4. Navigate to the folder that contains the update file. It needs to be a .zip file.5. Type in the command, "adb sideload [file name]".
To make things easy you can set up adb so you can run its commands from any directory, the steps for this are covered at the end of the xda guide I have linked.

If you have precious data you want to keep, then you should create a back up of your phone, if you haven't already done so.
If you're unconcerned about data or have created a backup, then you could factory restore from recovery mode.
Alternatively, if you haven't got the latest version of Odin, then you could try downloading the latest Odin software and attempt another flash.
Another thing you could try, is to sideload the update via adb. You will of course need the latest adb software which is easy to find.

I tried to update from ADB but it said, unauthorized access!
and I also think it is a hardware issue
Can you start in safe mode?

Yes if it boots normally and then i can go safe mode too.
Just so you know, I'm running out of ideas. Can you try the other suggestion that I mentioned above?
The one where I suggested flashing through Odin again?
I'm kind of assuming that USB Debugging and OEM Unlock were turned on as well.

Ikes! Are you able to try and downgrade to your original stock firmware? Seems like the issues began with trying to update.
where can I download original stock firmware from the internet? Can you provide me the link kindly? Last time I used Frija (desktop app) to download firmware.
Pretty much everyone on xda (including me) uses this website for firmware: https://www.sammobile.com
You have to create a free account but it's worth it for all the firmware they have available.
I believe you already know this, but I'm just going to cover the bases anyway, make sure to download firmware for your specific model G930T.
