Hello!
I have problem with my phone, i cannot access recovery mode, only bootloader and download mode. The only way i can access twrp is by booting it in fastboot, so i can't erase data from fastboot because of "S-ON".
Tried some things earlier like changing file system, but only message ive got was "/data/cache etc failed to mount (invalid argument" "unable to mount storage" so i don't really know what to do.
Obviously i need some help
Sorry for my english tho ;p
I would forgot, i rooted it and installed custom rom about week ago, till yesterday it was running fine.

I have had my Nexus S 4g rooted for sometime and have flashed many roms, so I'm not a complete nooby... but for some reason I'm stumped right now.
I woke up this morning to my phone in the TWRP recovery thing and I just tried to restart my phone but it wouldn't boot up so I figured I would just restore to a previous ROM and all of my backups were just gone. This is the error I have: error opening /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/randomcharacters
But that was way at the bottom, above it I see all these notifications saying that nothing is mounting... so I go and wipe all my stuff to try to re-install the ROM I already had because it had been working very nice and it was just gone. Couldn't find it at all so I figure ok... let's just mount it and put the ROM on my phone... but when I try that my computer tells me that I need to insert a disk into the removable disc.
So right now I really have no clue what to do and I can't use the one click stock since I can't get to my phone to turn on USB debugging.
Any help?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I was unable to find anything similar.
And I have tried unrooting using this site:
nexusshacks. com/nexus-s-4g-hacks/how-to-unroot-nexus-s-4g/
However, it doesn't work after "fastboot flash system system.img"
And when I go look at the log thing in TWRP I get this:
*Verifying filesystems...
*Verifying partition sizes...
E: Unable to mount /system
(x20 with different things!)
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
Gah! Have no idea how this happened!!

Can you go into fastboot? I would try to fastboot flash recovery, flash CWM and start from there. If it still wouldn't work i would presume that either your NAND went bad or that somehow the partitions got screwed... I do remember something similar happening to me on my wife's SGS and the solution was a Odin flash of a stock ROM to restore the partitions.

I can go into fastboot! That is the mode I'm in.
I am currently trying to unroot my device using the unroot guide from nexusshacks. com but I get a forever hang time when it is writing my system.
So I just flashed CWM but I am no sure what to do from here! I tried mounting sd card and usb but neither worked. However, I did see an option to format my sd card. Should I do that directly from CWM? And in the advanced menu I see an option to partition my sd card.
At this point I just want to have my phone back in working condition.
You can try to format the SD card, but i think it won't work... If it doesn't work try to search for Odin and the files to restore to stock ROM, maybe it can fix the partitions... The SD card partition option in CWM i never used, so i'm not sure what it does in this case.
So I tried the Odin and I'm still stuck in the writing system stage... I have no idea what to do at this point.

Seems your NAND reach its end. There's allot of topics regarding that problem with the Nexus S and every single one of them ended up with the OP sending the phone to Samsung or getting a new phone...
Hey guys!
So i had my HTC One S unlocked and rooted and all was fine until i gave my phone to my friends to flash a custom Rom into it... The problem is that it got stuck in the bootloop... After surfing the web for hours i think i only made it worse cuz now i cant get in the recovery anymore!
I got my HTC 4 days ago so Im not an expert at all...
Mainly when my friends saw that the rom failed and my phone got stuck in the bootloop the tried mounting the phone to the computer via recovery but the phone said that the mount failled! they did the wipe of cache and factory somthing...(i cant remember exactly cuz they did it and not me).
I have read that i need to install the RUU and i did but i got the error 132 signicher failed... so i did what was in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
But failed at step 4 cuz i cant get the the recovery(when i press recovery it reboots and goes to "FASTBOOT USB"...
please help!

Download twrp recovery IMG and flash it through fast boot to get recovery back.. Then go to boot loader select fast boot again and run cmd OEM relock and as long as you are using an ruu with the same or higher hboot you have currently have it will work.. If it doesn't then you need a different ruu...again the ruu needs to be same or higher than hboot version currently installed..

well after countless hours i was able to get the recovery back!
the problem now is that in the recovery i press "mounts and storage" and "mount USB storage" it wrote:" E:unable to open ums lunfile (no suchfile or directory) "... im in the CWM recovery and the usb cable is connected to the conputer with the installed drivers...
also, i tried installing RUU's and they all failed in the same place :"signicher failled"
i noticed that there was a website where i could download all the original RUU's but is has shutted down for some reason...
BTW if there are any files i need to download could you please post the link cuz i have no idea where to look... if you cant post the link for some reason could you please post the full name of the file?
So I have advanced and now im in this situation:
I have a TWRP recovery... I enter mount. Check mount storage,data,cache but sd card wont mount...
X Unmount System
X Unmount DATA
X Unmount Cache
O Mount SD Card
My computer sees the phone as removble and askes me if i want to format it!
Should I format or should do something else?

Format it then again install recovery through fast boot.. On your PC pick and download a custom rom.. Open zip and extract boot.IMG file to PC in the location of your fast boot..boot phone into recovery mount SD ( it will mount fine after you format and re flash recovery ) move ROM zip to SD card... Boot back to fast boot this time open terminal type...fastboot flash boot boot.img... When done do... Fastboot wipe cache.... Then boot to recovery wipe every thing except SD card 3 times and install ROM zip.. After process is complete wipe only both caches one time... Reboot and you'll be good to go...

Thanks!!!
That worked! Your a genius!
Not sure if anyone will check this thread anymore, but Im having almost the exact same issues as the guy above ^ and I tried the solutions given in this thread and Im still stuck on a bootloop. I have another thread on here and people are trying to help me but still nothing works. Ive tried installing dark jelly cuz they told me you dont have to worry about flashing a boot.img and it installed fine but went right into bootloop. So im kinda stuck. just branching out for answers at this point. Thanks for any help
I did something stupid and installed rom manager, it corrupted my recovery. I restored to stock rom i found online using odin but it says you need to wipe factory settings to make it boot. The recovery is now the stock one but it displays error messages and when I choosed a command it does nothing. What should I do?
EDIT: I flashed another stock rom this time i could boot into the phone. Some of my apps went missing and superuser went missing. It was a little weird. The recovery still shows errors and no command. It says
"can't access to '/system/csc/VAU/system". I don't think I can root it again and install a custom rom. I dont know what is the right thing to do now. I just want to root it and install a rom
EDIT2: I installed another recovery called Amon-RA recovery and I still get errors. I am thinking maybe the recovery partition is corrupted. I get these errors.
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl14
(invalid argument)
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl14

I downloaded it and flashed it..AND I REALIZED THAT I WAS STUPID....
YOU DONT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO SELECT YOU PRESS HOME BUTTON.... LOL
I recently acquired an htc one m7. i decided it would be cool to root it and put a custom rom ( i have had experience in this i have done it on my s3 my galaxy tab 2.0 and a galaxy express) so i unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom rom and rooted my device and i decided (stupidly) to erase everything from the device (System, data, internal storage, cache, and dalvik cache) but then i realized i didnt have the file on my phone and couldnt do anything with it so i started researching. i tried to gain s-off but with every solution i need to be booted up but i dont have an os so i cannot. i tried adb sideloading the file and it just errors. i tried pushing the file and flashing it and it errors. i tried fastboot flashing it but it wont verify it. i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either. i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit. this did not work. ive tried different recovery (but not different versions of these recoveries) everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

Hey lads, forgive me im new here and frankly quite distressed so forgive me for not finding the right forum for this.
So, i have successfully managed to brick my phone in a stupid and ignorant attempt to flash a custom rom. I cant boot to Android, no matter how many times I reboot, it always boots to fastboot. I can access recovery tho, I have PixelExperience recovery installed. When booting to recovery i get a error message:
E: Failed to bind mount /mnt/staging/emulated/media/0 to /storage/emulated: no such file or directory
E: Failed to bind mount /mnt/staging/emulated/media/0 on/storage/emulated: No such file or directory
I did a factory reset before flashing the rom, is that related to it?
Also out of pure desperation I ran fastboot w command, though that seemingly changed nothing. Though im not sure if the error message occured before or after the wipe.
How do I fix this?
