[Q] My phone bricked. Need help please..

My phone is unlocked and rooted. My problem is that when I go to FASTBOOT MODE, then go into RECOVERY, then when I press 'apply update from /sdcard' it shows nothing in there. So, I just stuck and unable to flash any rom at all. I tried to go into the SD card through my computer to install a ROM so that I have something to flash, but nexus s has only internal storage. Please help?

Hi
Hi, I bought my nexus s, immediately after I tried to root, and failed, this left me in the same situation as you.
You NEED to install the adb drivers, and boot using odin files. It was pretty tricky but i got there in the end, i was bricking it too , but dont worry, there's a 98% chance its not bricked, ill find the files for you now...

Go to mount drives and mount your storage from there. That's what I did.

Right, first of all, boot into the bootloader on your Nexus S, and i'm assuming that all your drivers are working fine because you have already unlocked your bootloader.
Place the files in the zip download inthe following places
WIN32bitOS: Program files/Android/Android-sdk/tools
WIN64bitOS: Program files (x86)/Android/Android-sdk/tools
Next, open a command prompt, and type in the following commands, (C: is your windows installation hard drive letter, leave as default if you dont know what this means)
if your 32bit type this w/o quotes "cd C:/Program files/Android/Android-sdk/tools
64bit "cd C:/Program files (x86)/Android/Android-sdk/tools
and click enter.
Next you want to make sure that your Nexus S is in bootloader mode, connected to your pc.
Type the following.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
[click enter & wait until it says successful]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[click enter & wait until it says successful]
fastboot flash system system.img
[click enter & wait until it says successful]
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
[click enter & wait until it says successful]
Reboot and you should go into android 2.3
Next time make a nandroid backup in clockwork mod!

hi cdaly, can you point me to some information on how to install nandriod backup and making/restore a backup right after installing CWM (right after "unlocked" but didnt install Super user yet)?

Yeah
Yeah sure,
Root your phone, go to market place, download rom manager. Open the app and click the button that says, Fash Clockwork Recovery.
Shut down your phone when the operation has completed. Go inot bootloader mode, click recovery. Navigate to backup and restore. Go into backup and restore, click backup. Voila.
If you ever need to restore do the same but click restore. Pretty simple when you know what to do
If this has left you confused, look around on XDA/google, there are a ton of guides
Link added!

Thanks, appreciate it.

Thanks for that. I am using mac computer. Would it be the same typing command for mac as you had mentioned?

Thanks very much cdaly.. I am just a bit confused regarding phone is rooted or not.
I got to the point flash recovery was sucessfuly in command prompt, but when i try to install "su-2.3.6.1-cd-signed.zip" from SD card, it wasn't successful, as in there is no "superuser" icon after reboot and i have tried wifi tether and it says my phone is not root.
Now i havent tried "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" because i accidently bricked my phone for some stupid things i did. but my phone is NOT root as long as I don't see the superuser program right?
I thought nandroid is an actual program but it just means backing up through bootloader?
Thanks for all your help!!!

I dont know if NANDROID is a program or not, it just use it via clockwork mod recovery menu and it works so I'm not complaining aha
If you want to root your nexus s, download this zip file and extract, make sure that your nexus s is in bootloader mode and double click "install-superboot-windows" Bingo, you have root.
Thanks for that. I am using mac computer. Would it be the same typing command for mac as you had mentioned?

It wouldn't hurt to try but I dont think so. If you can go into boot-camp or use a friends PC. Or you can try this.
Change your folder to the plaform-tools folder. I dont know how to do this, just referencing off of http://rootzwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Samsung_Nexus_S
Next type
"./fastboot flash boot boot.img"
"./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
"./fastboot flash system system.img"
"./fastboot flash userdata userdata.img"

Hi cdaly985
I'd tried it and it works 100%. And, just to share for mac to add on the command "./fastboot-mac ....". I am really impressed with your help. Thanks very very very much.

Hi cdaly985
Now everything is ok with the phone except that it won't be able to go into recovery mode. I had tried by using Rom manager v.4.. and also by pressing vol + power, all failed.
Please help me on this problem. Thanks.

I'm lost installing CMW

OMG yes i know im a newb but there is a first time for everybody for anything.
So i'm trying to unlock, root, install cwm and install custom roms but ive looked at all the instruction from many thread and a lot of them had missing steps
Anyways, i've downgraded from JB to 4.0.3, rooted, unlocked and now i'm trying to install CWM. So i installed android SDK and all tools, i've put recovery image in same folder as fastboot.exe, i've booted the tablet and selectied USB icon but wtf do i do now??
I'm basically here:
** FastBoot Method **
1) Install Android SDK
2) Download CWM Recovery image from the original thread and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
3) Copy the downloaded file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
4) Turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
5) Plug the device into your computer
6) Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Where do i get this command line?? is it command line from windows such as CMD?? cause if it is, i've tried it and nothing. Do i have to point to where is the recovery image?? Its in C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools but i'm lost from that point, i'm not sure what command line i have to use, and how to set it up so i can tell it where to look.
Can anybody help me please?

change directory to the folder the recover/fastboot is in, using the CMD on windows. So:
"cd C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
make sure the recovery is called "recovery.img" and that its in the "platform-tools" folder alongside the fastboot.exe, then run the commands:
"fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img"
and
"fastboot reboot"

Yes, command line is in your PC. The location of the fastboot.exe located in c:\android-sdk\platformtools (if you install from sdk).
On your PC, open CMD and navigate to the above directory where fastboot.exe is. Make sure your recovery.img in also copied to this same folder. Now you can execute the fastboot comand:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

Thanks but I've already downgraded. I'll try what the guy above said thank you for the help

when you are in the fastboot folder, you have to press control & right click inside the folder, and you will see the option to open a terminal.

Pat,
If it makes you feel any better I had a heck of a time with this myself.
Once I realized I had platform tools in a folder on my PC desktop with the command prompt
in it I was able to flash.
Gotta say it wasn't easy to figure out in bits and pieces.
Sent from the inside out...

Thanks guys, you've been REALLY helpful! I completely forgot about the shortcut to open cmd in a folder, and i'm not sure if you were wrong or its because im on windows 8 but its ctrl + shift + right click
EDIT: now i get a problem, it do all this and i get "waiting for device"
i tried different USB ports, same deal...any ideas?
EDIT: EDIT: tried all USB port but one, the last one i used did the trick, thanks for all!

I'm having this exact same problem but changing USB ports is not working for me and I tried everything else. Would it help if I tried a different computer?

I don't mean to threadjack, but this portion of your post caught my attention.
I just swapped a prime for an infinity. I rooted, installed rootkeeper, preserved root, upgraded to JB and restored root.
Are you saying I can install goomanager and update recovery without unlocking via the Asus tool?
If so, sweet!

No. You will still have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, unfortunately.

If you want only root, you can use CF autoroot, the easiest method which is easier than Oneclickroot or Kingo

ok i can try to do it,but....
1.is it safe?
2.where can I find boot.img
3.is there a guide?

As i said i don't know if this is a generic boot.img or if it is or if it is brand or firmware specific you would need to do a bit of investigating to find out, What i can tell you is that this patch contain's supersu with a drm key fix(you know the key's stored in your bootloader) incorporated in it i have successfully used it on a sony m5(e5603).
The choice is your's whether to try it or not.
If you choose to use it here is a quick guide..
1.Download this file here
2.connect your phone to your pc make sure usb debugging is swiched on
3.put the boot.img file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot.exe files are
4.Rename it to boot.img to simplify thing's
5.Right click on an empty space inside your adb fastboot folder and select open command window here
6.When your command window opens input this command adb devices you should now see your phone's serial number
7.Once your phone is connected in command prompt write adb reboot bootloader
8.Once your phone is in bootloader mode then in command prompt write fastboot devices you should now see your device serial number
9.In command prompt write this command fastboot flash boot boot.img then press return and wait till process finishes (any problem's remember to rename the .img file to boot.img or alter the command in command prompt)
10.In command prompt write this command fastboot reboot ( or just restart your phone normally)
If successful when your phone has started you should now have the supersu app installed and phone rooted with the drm key's fix working(if you saved your drm key's before unlocking your bootloader you can safely copy them back at this point)
Obviously i can't be held responsible for any damage done Yahda,Yahda,Yada ect.
Make sure OEM unlock is at the switched on position before the next reboot (it should already be switched on)
We are all big boy's and girl's and as such we make decisions all by our selves including whether to follow this guide or not
Use this guide for educational purposes only.
Good luck...

I tried this method but it did not work, fortunately I had the file boot.img stock and I restored it, thanks anyway for the guide at this point I'll wait to find the twrp file edited for my device or that will add the root on some kind of apps (kingoroot, kingroot, oniclick ....)

General [Root] Magisk Patched Boot image

Firmware 18.0830.2101.81 Magisk patched boot image.
I have dumped the boot image from Asus payload BIN using Python. Tested and works flawlessly.
Try on your own RISK!
How to install:
- Unlock your bootloader using ASUS unlock app.
- Enable debugging in developers options.
- Install ADB & Fastboot Drivers.
- Extract then copy the attached boot.img to ADB tools folder.
- Open a prompt command in ADB folder, enter command "adb reboot bootloader"
- Select Recovery using the volume keys and power key , then select fastboot.
- Enter command "adb flash boot boot.img"
if the above doesn't make sense, then probably you shouldn't be trying to root using this method.
Thanks.

Does anyone tried applying an OTA update while rooted? Is it sufficient to restore stock boot image, apply update zip file and flash new patched boot image? I have not tried it yet, because there is no TWRP available and I want to backup my data before trying.

Yes you can apply ota update.
When the OTA Update finishes don't reboot click later, then go to magisk install OTA to inactive slot.

THANK YOU! This file saved my phone. I installed some other boot image that wouldn't let me boot the phone, this file brought it back to life.
Thank you again!

Firmware 18.0830.2101.81 Magisk patched boot image.
I have dumped the boot image from Asus payload BIN using Python. Tested and works flawlessly.
Try on your own RISK!
How to install:
- Unlock your bootloader using ASUS unlock app.
- Enable debugging in developers options.
- Install ADB & Fastboot Drivers.
- Extract then copy the attached boot.img to ADB tools folder.
- Open a prompt command in ADB folder, enter command "adb reboot bootloader"
- Select Recovery using the volume keys and power key , then select fastboot.
- Enter command "adb flash boot boot.img"
if the above doesn't make sense, then probably you shouldn't be trying to root using this method.
Thanks.

Hallo
Any boot.img for latest version WW ASUS-18.0840.2103.26-1.1.81?
Can`t get my payload working, because not installing in correct folder.

Use this link to extract the boot.img from payload.bin using your phone. Give a try. I also had issues extracting from pc. So did in my phone and worked.
