[Q] possible soft brick nexus s

I have here is a Nexus S with the MUI Rom. The Rom was working for a couple of days until I ran out of battery. When I plug the charging cable, the phone powers on and shows the boot logo and then the google screen. I can't get pass the google screen or go into clockmod's recovery.

Have you tried reflashing recovery via fastboot? If you see the Google logo it's trying to boot.
Reflash recovery via fastboot and reflash your rom of choice.

I'd tried and didn't work either, but i was able to get to the bootloader screen. I can't get my computer to see the phone while its in the bootloader screen.

Maybe you could boot into recovery from the bootloader and use a nandroid backup of some sort?

I can't get into recovery from bootloader, when I click on recovery, it looks like it's going to boot but nothing happen. I leave the phone on over night and nothing happen.

Ah...no worries..
stay in ur bootloader.
download a clockworkmod recovery image and cd into the directory u r in.
Perform the following commands if you ALREADY have a recovery img installed:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery _____.img (the blank line is the recovery img name)
3. reboot into recovery and perform ur nandroid
If you DON'T have a recovery img installed, then skip step 1

No I was assuming he HAD recovery image installed...so erase it because he couldnt boot into it...might have been a bad recovery img

Soft Brick..no USB to help
Nexus S 4g is not connecting to the mobile network. Because of this I am trying to go back to the Sprint stock firmware. USB is properly charging my phone, but I'm unable to have the device enumerated by my pc. I've tried multiple cables, OS's, and PCs. USB is not enumerated even in the bootload state.
I have reverted to a backup when everything was working, but I still have the same problem with the network and USB.
WiFi works so getting new firmwares from ClockworkMod is an option, but going to CM7 did not resolve the problem.
I've read the forums and not found any solution yet. Has anyone heard of this before? Are there any options I can still try through software?

hi,
from the link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
i don't have custom recovery installed.
and i don't have a memory card.
what i need to do if i want to install odexed rom install.
does custom recovery installation involves rooting phone?
is it not possible to flash unrooted phones?
update:
i did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from the boot.img file from odexed rom zip.
Is my warranty still intact?
what i did by flashing the boot partition?
boot.img is only 8 MB what is the other content present in the rom zip file and how its used?
thanks,

OK I'll spend some time here so you can understand. Warranty can be checked in most phones with locked bootloaders . ours is not locked. Bootloader locked means no change can be made unofficially by us.
The only way they can find warranty on our phone is if you use official root method.
For this purpose we have unofficial root method.
Now about partitions. /boot is the kernel. Its like drivers for your hardware.
/system is the os. It is either rooted or unrooted like in windows having admin account or normal account.
You can either use an OS which has already admin account by using a rooted ROM or you can use a limited unrooted ROM and then root it thereby making it an admin account.
Now recovery is a mini OS which will help you to recover your OS in case something is wrong. Stock recovery has limited options and allows only official updates. Custom recovery has more options and allows unofficial updates like our prerooted already admin OS/ROM.
Finally fast boot is like your Intel BIOS. Whatever happens as long as it is working you're saved. All other things like recovery, boot, system can be modified from here.
Now you flashed boot.img using fast boot and if you got a success message you're good. Use a recovery image in one of the xolo play threads and flash it using the instructions provided there.
This is required for you to install ROM.
Finally, don't worry about warranty. In case you ever need warranty, follow instructions in my ROM post about warranty. Where you can flash the ROM and recovery that came with the phone. So no worries and good luck.
Edit: for you, since you're so worried, simply install cwm recovery, then install stock odexed ROM, install build.prop.zip then reinstall stock recovery and you're like how u purchased the phone.

It should be also compatible with the lte version. The kernel support is exactly the same and it should function the same with no difference. As posted in the cwm thread you don't have to install it to test it. You can use the fastboot boot command to load the image and test it and/or root your device without installing it.

Much Love!
Not a question; Nvidia Tablet Shield CWM flash recovery mod with Nvidia's official Drivers Package. This has been confirmed on 12/28/14 and still operating!

Root usiong recovery.img
I have the tablet set to USB debugging ON, connected, with an unlocked bootloader. Do I need to power down before I run this command to load the CWM recovery.img file?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Right now, with the tablet powered on, the command does nothing except says "Waiting for device"

Seems to be a driver issue... Enter "fastest devices"... If there is no device number shown, uninstall and re-install drivers, maybe try different drivers...

Flashing recovery issue.
Hello, I just got my tablet today, OTA update installed, and already unlocked the bootloader. Now, I'm trying to flash the cwm recovery, each time i run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" I get an error.
target reported max download size of 570425344 bytes
error: cannot load 'recovery.img': No error
the recovery image is in the same folder as my adb and fastboot files, but i still get that message, any ideas?? Thanx in advance.

Recovery.img should be in the current folder, wherever that is and the file should be named recovery.img if that is the command line you are using. Are they?

Root problems
I've successfully unlocked my bootloader. When I get to the step to flash recovery.img "./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" it just says "< waiting for device >" and nothing happens on my tablet.

First of all, thank's a lot to Unjustified Dev for providing CWM Recovery for the NVidia Shield Tablet, and for everybody else involved, so I could flash it onto my device.
Now to my problem.
I can't for the life of me access my CWM Recovery backups to store them on my ubuntu laptop.
I'm fairly new to customizing Android Devices so forgive me if I may ask dumb questions.
I started with an uncustomized device.
1) Unlocked the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
2) I downloaded CWM Recovery image "recovery.img" from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi.../recovery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064, but not the one on the first page but on page 13, provided by romracer.
3) I flashed CWM Recovery onto my recovery partition with
Code:
sudo ./fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img
I had to sudo because otherwise it said
<waiting for device>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) I made a backup using CWM menu item "backup to sdcard". Trying "backup to /storage/sdcard1/" it told me
E: Unable to stat backup path.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
even with /storage/sdcard1 mounted.
Now i want to move the backup data to my laptop using adb.
I tried to find where the data was in
Code:
adb shell
It is located at /sdcard, which is a symlink to /storage/emulated/legacy, which is also a symlink to /mnt/shell/emulated/0. When I type
Code:
ls -la sdcard
it prints out all the Android, DCIM, Ringtones, etc but also a line
lstat 'sdcard//clockworkmod' failed: Permission denied
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It tells me the same with
Code:
ls -la /mnt/shell/emulated
Also I can't
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod
because then it tells me
remote object '/sdcard/clockworkmod' does not exist
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How can I get the back up data to my laptop?
