I tried rooting my phone, but when I flashed CWM my Nexus S stopped booting... it freezes on the Google screen in the intro. I can boot into Fastboot, and cwm, but I cant connect the Internal memory to the computer without it booting like it is supposed to. Does anybody know of anything I can do to fix my phone and bring it back to stock??
There are guides for returning to stock stickied in the Nexus S 4G Android Development forum.
Before you do that though, try flashing a different recovery, like the one linked to here or here.
Btw, which guide did you use? You're not the first person to have this problem, and it's really bugging me (though probably not as much as it's bugging you :-o).

I will try a different recovery, but how would I flash a rom if I can connect my phone via usb mount?

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I think it's
fastboot flash system system.img.
You don't need to put the rom image on the sdcard. Just put it in the same folder as fastboot.
It was titled "How to Root Nexus S!"
And I will try to flash recovery and try that rom command, thank you )

There's a button for that.
I got the link. Thanks. I looks like you flashed a boot image that is incompatible with your phone. That guide was for the T-Mobile Nexus S. (Why they're screwing with the boot.img to begin with, I really don't understand.)
Download the attached file, and unzip it to the same folder as fastboot. The md5 sum is d4a9508f9321eb25df3383f00f571e8b. Then
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll probably also want to use one of the recoveries listed above to
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
, but leave system alone for now. Flash that only as a last resort.

OMG!! im having the same issue. could you please post the link for ODIN so i can return to stock and take it from there please? I rely on my phone so much and i need it asap thank you.
same problem with me.
but in my case, the phone not only freeze after the google logo before boot. I tried several times to pull the battery and start the phone again, it took several times until the phone can boot normally again.
After that, my nexus s can work as usual. but it only takes 3-4 hour until it freeze/hangs or reboot automatically and show image of green robot lay down with red alert triangle...
sometimes I noticed all application force closed like gmail, gtalk, etc. (its a basic apps instead of 3rd party app)
History :
- root GB 2.37 using superoneclick
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- problem happens
- root using guide : nexusshacks.com
- unroot using guide : nexusshacks.com
- back to factory setting on GB 2.34
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- Still got that problem.....
I'm using Nexus S 4G Sprint, pls help me guys...
nexus s won't boot
I had the same problem and read elsewhere that heating the phone with a hairdryer solves the problem.
I must say, indeed it did.
I removed the battery and the SIM card, then heated up the phone (so it really feels warm) put back the battery and sim and simsalebim the phone started again. and is still working since (now already a few day's)
It seems that a component in the phone is heat sensitive, the question in my mind is when will this show again and do I need to consider buying a new phone.
But sofar it works
PS I also tried hard reset factory reset the lot, but in the end only heating up helped.
Good luck, David
I fixed this problem! but I had to wipe all user data by rooting it using nexusrootICS. It finally boots up and the phone works now... that's all I need.
Hey guys. I had flashed gpe edition on my XT1032 to get lollipop and everythign was fine. Yesterday I decided to get back to stock in order to wait for 5.1 but since then i have messed up everything in my phone. The point in wich i am now is that the phone wont boot and will be stuck in bootloader warning screen and when in fastboot adb wont recognize my phone which means i can do nothing to flash a new rom or anything. Guys please help i really am desperate and i have tried everything.

If it says AP Fastboot Flash Mode at the very top, you need to work with fastboot tool, not adb. They're not the same.

The lines are due to the fact that you have a lollipop bootloader with a Kit Kat ROM. Upgrade to stock 5.02 or the latest CM12 and the lines will go away, except possibly in custom recovery. No lines if running stock recovery.

If you're running Kit Kat, it will stop if you lock and unlock the phone using the power button. If you restart the phone or your boot into recovery, the lines will reappear until your lock and re-lock again.
Hello, i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 U.S. Cellular. Sm 920R4 i believe. Anyways, i was trying to flash TWRP Recovery. When after i did, my device rebooted and took me to the TWRP recovery screen. Expected. But my Touchscreen wouldnt work. So this happened 2 days ago but im still trying to fix it. i decided to try some different versions of TWRP. Well, one of them worked but it reversed my touchscreen. So i managed to get into my os, BACKWARDS. I have been using everything backwards including the keyboard and its driving me nuts. I attempted to flash my stock recovery and stock firmware via odin. Odin says "failed" every tiume i try to flash it, so i moved the zip to my s6, and it still doesn't work. if fails. I dont know what to do. Someone, anyone, please help me. I recently tried flashing a rom and it turned out to be the rom that makes the s6 look like the s6 edge plus. Well, i didnt copy down my imei or serial number before doing it. So i cant use smart switch. I really need someone to just help me out. Even if its just a tweak or something to flip the screen back to normal. Someone please help me. BTW, the secret codes havent worked for me to update the screen. Maybe im doing something wrong, but at the moment the phone doesnt have service

This might not work If you have modified rom, or you will waste a lot of time reverting to stock and back.
Just try flashing a different kernel. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

How do you mean that they don't work? Nothing happen when you dial them? Do you have custom ROM or did you unabled or uninstall any of the sistem apps?
How about the twrp app. If you have root access you can change the version of twrp

So I flashed a rom-upgrade type thing that makes the phone look like an s6 edge plus
If i had my imei i would be fine but i dont have it
The codes dont work, typed and retyped them a million times
What rom could i flash to have access to the codes, and what kernel to fix the x axis did you flash? a quick reply would help a lot. Thanks for your time. I do appreciate a lot. And yes ive tried smart swith and odin with stock firmware. It fails. I only have one file that i was flashing though. Maybe there was more.

Of course i tasted all i can before this post : restore my device, Emme (not possible when bootloader unlock), ... Maybe if someone send me the original apk, i can install it and resolve my pb.
Hope someone can do it

Probably won't but fingers crossed - This looks like something that happens when you unlock bootloader. Some functions might get disabled (it's usually only the advanced camera functions such as noise cancelling, but on my X camera was only showing green). Try the Emma dev version - should work (should give you at least some functionality), or wait for a kernel to be developed.
As a cautionary tale, it's way too early for BL unlock where there is No dev support. This release is just too recent. Personally, I'll wait for tested root methods and hopefully a TA backup solution.
Do you know where I can find Emma dev version ?
Coz you're right : it didn't work...

Download the EMMA from sony website. As soon as it detects your unlocked bootloader it will automagically download the latest dev fw version - customization is outside of what xperiafirm offers and it should work. Should. I'm still waiting for my phone to be delivered so I can't help you further than that. I just know it works for terrible failures.
In any case, a kernel that addresses the DRM content functionality is probably weeks away weeks away. Maybe relocking the bootloader will help? Could restore partial camera functionality, instead of a green screen.
Again, I'm coming with ideas under a huge maybe but you should give it a try.

It should be working although you need to install the drivers without Enforcing Driver signature.
To do that you need to restart your PC while holding the Shift key. Shift, click restart and a 'new' screen will appear asking you how do you want to restart. go through the menus till you see the F1-12 options. As far as I remember F7 is the one that disables driver signature enforcement. After that PC should restart normally but without that thingy. Once restarted go to flashtool folder - drivers - and install the drivers - click allow everywhere and voila, drivers are set. From there on, you should see the phone as connected. Emma should also work.

You just need the generic adb drivers. but if they're not working try those. https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-xz-premium-driver/ Although flashtool might not be compatible. I can't confirm this since I'm still waiting for my phone to be delivered. Soon this should be populated, is where you can find a custom kernel that restores DRM functionality https://kernel.andro.plus/yoshino.html
In Windows, my device with green led (volume - and plugged) => SOMC Flash Device. If i click on "upgrade drivers" and go in Sony Driver folder, windows tells me my driver is up to date.
I certainly forget or loose something, but it's the first time i have pb with any device since 10 years !! :/
DRM patch?
@FartyParty @kemod @AndroPlus
Hey guys, can you please help @Nikom69 with his DRM issue?
He unlocked BL and has no camera functionality - green screen. He flashed the FW with EMMA and still no camera. And flashtool isn't working. I did my best to help him but I'm still waiting for my phone to arrive.
So do you have a working DRM patch or something to get him at least basic camera functions back? I told him to wait for AndroPlus Kernel but maybe there's a quick fix or a different idea.

It seems like all proprietary post processing is no longer functional after bootloader unlock, but video still work to some extent and you can still use the camera only in manual mode with ISO 100 and all features off (which is useless). My Sony XZP just turn into an expensive and beautiful "worse than AOSP phone" right now. I really hope someone could have a solution to this, heck I even willing to pay for it.
Yes, unlocking the bootloader destroys the drm-keys and disables stuff.
The keys are gone, warranty gone, no amount of flashing this or that will restore anything.
Relocking the bootloader will NOT restore drm-keys because they are gone FOREVER.
Just wait for a custom kernel with drm-fix included and the camera will work again.
How were you even able to unlock the bootloader if you can't get flashtool to work?

That's simple - Fastboot commands. I'm receiving my XZp today but now I'll think twice and wait for the Androplus.
I was thinking for bootloader relock - cause on my Xperia X after relocking camera was working to some extent, but its not the case here..... Anyway if you think of something write it here. He'll be happy for any solution you find. I know how it feels to go from flagship to brick in under 3 seconds so he's got my full support :laugh:

So he managed to unlock bootloader with adb fastboot but adb flashboot doesn't work?
If he were able to flash twrp he could just flash drm-fix etc.
But eh, just gotta wait a little.

Exactly, he needs the DRMfix, do you have it? Or should he wait for the kernel to come out. This Thread should be a cautionary tale for first timers so information is the key. :cyclops:

Hello all,
I did a big mistake, I wanted to go back from DP 3 to Android 11 and once I was going to do the CMD steps, I downloaded the wrong Firmware for the Pixel 5
I didnt see that mistake until I started the steps and the phone turned off and did not turn on anymore.
I know I made a big mistake, but can I do to revert this? I try to restart the phone but nothing, not via power button for 10 or 20 or 30 sec.
Please help

Mine bricked about a month ago and Google suggested uBreakiFix. They tried to do a force flash on it but it didn't work. They ended up replacing the motherboard which fixed it, but now my proximity sensor is always on. I don't know if they can fix that or if it will require another motherboard.
I have same problem, but i can go to bootloader. The problem my phone is locked bootloader and i don't have recovery mode. And when i try to flash it because of locked bootloader i can't do anything. Is there any solution for unbrick locked bootloader?

how did you end up with it like that with bootloader locked? what caused it?
I have the same issue like p_a_r_s_a7 with my Pixel 5.
Only fastboot mode: can't find valid operating system
After flashing the 'right' OTA image for Android 12 DP3 the device cannot be restored anymore.
The image was successfully flashed by 'adb sideload' as recommended.
Seems that a locked bootloader is not 100% save from 'flashed to death'
600 EURO paperwight.
I had this same issue on my 4a 5g and after many hours I managed to fix it. I don't recall exactly but I went through every option of flashing stock via fastboot and android flash tool it eventually worked this was 2 months ago

But you could reach fastboot right?

Android flash tool immediately detect the locked bootloader and stopped without flashing.
I've tried to check/uncheck every option but no luck. I've used Windows 10.
Did you used the common USB driver requested by Android flash tool ?
Anything else that could be special, eg Linux environment ( what distro, version .. )
Any detail could help..

Windows 10 laptop, adb minimal drivers, made sure device was detected, attempted through fastboot and android flash tool, that's the only things I remember my apologies.

I have the same issue like p_a_r_s_a7 with my Pixel 5.
Only fastboot mode: can't find valid operating system
After flashing the 'right' OTA image for Android 12 DP3 the device cannot be restored anymore.
The image was successfully flashed by 'adb sideload' as recommended.
Seems that a locked bootloader is not 100% save from 'flashed to death'
600 EURO paperwight.
