[Q] Nexus S 4G won't boot past Google Screen!!

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.

[Q] GT-P5113 not booting to OS, Tried everything please help

First of all thanks for your help in advance.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 which I bought the way it is right now. It turns on and I can access recovery and download mode without any problems, but it will not boot into the actual OS. After turning on it will go straight to recovery. When rebooted from within recovery or by ODIN after flashing a ROM it will simply turn off and start charging. It will not turn on without having to unplug the cable. This is what I have tried:
- Flashed stock 4.1.1 from SamMobile using Odin 3.09 and Odin 1.85 there were no errors but same problem
- Flashed stock 4.2.2 from SamMobile using Odin 3.09 and Odin 1.85 there were no errors but same problem
- Installed CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 and wiped Dalvik cache and factory reset a few times after flashing each firmware version
- Installed TWRP 2.7.0.1 and wiped Dalvik cache, cache, data and factory reset a few times after flashing each firmware version
- Flashed each firmware and did stock factory reset and wiped cache each time
- Took it apart and removed battery for a few hours and tried every combination of what was mentioned again
- Downloaded "signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit" and flashed a few times and redid all combinations again
On CWM no command gives any errors but on TWRP I do not get the "successful" notice when wiping Data, it kicks me out to the lock screen with no errors mentioned. Also on TWRP, when trying to fix permissions I get a failed error. When flashing stock 4.2.2 I get the "No command" and an error while trying to wipe cache follow by the device turning off. On the stock 4.1.1 ROM I get no errors whatsoever.
So as you may imagine I have spent numerous hours on Google and this forum and have not found a way to make it work. Please let me know if there is anything else I might be able to try. Thanks

I have the same problem but I know what I did to cause it.
Well, I don't know if you solved your problem, but I just registered to ask the same question. ONLY I KNOW HOW IT GOT THAT WAY. while messing around with learning how to flash new ROMs I executed a command that I didn't know what expect... mkntfs and followed through with mmcblk0p1 or mmcblk0p10... i'm not real sure which partition I messed up. but now I don't know how to reverse the thing and I have the exact problem you have.
Also I can't find a good reference source for Aroma File Manager's Terminal console. I'm just learning about Linux, CPM/android or whatever we call it these days.
Do I have to fix the kernel or is there a way to undo that command "mkntfs" in AromaFM??????
I TOO have the GT-P5113XAR but one of the aborted rom installations said it's a GT-5113RF, what is that????

Thanks for the reply. I frankly don't know much about what you said, but I decided to order a new board for the device and got it to work again. Now, super-duper-mega-smart-me decided to flash the same 4.2.2 ROM I got from Sammobile and guess what, the EXACT same problem occurred. I am hoping someone can helps us! Right now I am researching different ROM's and realized there are 2 kinds, XAR and XAC so I will experiment and let you know if I get any progress!

hopefully someone will read the problem and give us some advice.
I still haven't learned how to reverse a mkntfs command.

Thanks for the reply. Actually you are right, all that had to be done was exactly that. However in my case the real problem, mentioned just so other people can see this if they have the same problem, was that the flex cable that charges the tablet was defective. I took the device apart and decided to unplug piece by piece turning the device on after each cable was unplugged and low and behold after disconnecting the charger flex it went straight to the OS instead of recovery. Weirdest thing ever, hope it helps someone else.

In your case, based on what I have researched here is what you can try. Get into download mode, open ODIN, click on PIT and flash file "signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit" which can be found in this forum, just do a search. After flashing the PIT go to SamMobile and download a ROM, preferably MK3 and flash using ODIN. After this it should work, hope it does for you!

Sorry for the late reply, had a busy week. You probably already fixed it but it is my understanding you need to flash a stock ROM to get things going again and once that works make a backup of the working ROM using CWM recovery or similar and then flash whatever else on top of that to prevent further bricks. Thanks

more info please

Fortunately I got mine working again and now I have some more insight for you. Are there any errors showing when you're trying to install aarom?also if you use console in aroma file managercan you list all 11 or 12 partitions and aer they all available for you to access?
---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------
I tried both things that you told me to try the pit file it might have helped but it didn't make it any different, there was still an error trying to find efs while flashing and I tried it almost everything the other guy here tried and nothing worked so I had to go learn some Linux and some Unix. After a couple weeks of studying what command does what, and realizing I should have learned Unix with the rest of my friends and back in high school. I came up with that make FS ext4 command.. as I said before I knew which command I used to mess it up so I figured since the mkntfs command was the one that messed itt up with them this one might work and I used it and it worked I was able to install a ROM 2 days ago. Apologize for my typing my hands hurt and I'm just using voice.

I am glad you finally got it working. I never did play much with Aroma since my problem ended up being that defective cable but I will definitely consider learning those commands just in case.

Installed TWRP on StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III - now no OS! - resolved

I have a rooted StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III (with the stock AOSP ROM) that I just screwed up. I had used EZ-Recovery to flash TWRP 2.2.0 to the phone. Now TWRP says there is no OS! I can only boot into TWRP - nothing else. It won't even let me power-down the phone. Is there some way I can recover from this, or do I now have a very expensive electronic brick (that runs TWRP)? I have adb installed on my laptop and I know it works, so that's one possible route to recovery. Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it's possible to return it completely to stock with the COMBINATION_S968CUDUAMH1_S968CTFNAMH1_1304014_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file through Odin. I just to happen to have the file right here.. small warning though, it's 1.2 gigs.

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

In that thread go down to method 2 of getting a custom recovery. I downloaded cwm touch from the link there and then installed it with android terminal emulator using the codes that it says to type in. I tried to look up that stock rom but I didnt find it. Its on the forum somewhere in a thread about how to root the straight talk s3 and how first you need to download and flash the h1 baseband stock rom

Thanks I found the stock rom fixing it now.

Does it say "Recovery Is not Seandroid Enforcing" on the top?
What version of the S6 you have and what android version?
My problem was that I did the CF root on my 5.1.1 device and that's why the problem occurred. What did you do?
galaxys6root.highonandroid.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/ <-- I downloaded the Twrp for my phone and flashed it
after that I got android SDK tools and followed this guide www. howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
After that, I went on this thread and downloaded this guys tool to backup my photos

After all my photos were backed up, I went on SamMobile and downloaded the stock firmware/rom for my device (SM-G920F)
after the download was finished, I flashed it with ODIN and only used AP for the flash.
It all worked! After I flashed it, my phone was like how it was before. All my settings and apps and pictures were still there!

What i did? I was on 5.1.1, flashed CF-autoroot for 5.0.2 (WHICH WAS VERY DUMB), flashed XtreStoLite bootloader and modem, installet XtreStoLite rom for my phone. Worked very good, the second day while charging, my phone went to samsung logo and since that i can't open it. I have tried almost everything. I have also tried Kies/Smart Switch and that doesn't help me also.
Can you please help me?

How do i do that?
I'm noob

IDK, don't own this device.
Hint: Replace "phone" in this thread's title by Samsung Galaxy A20s-A207F/DS thus mainly owners of such phone get addressed.
