Stuck before I started - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I am new to this so forgive my ignorance and treat me like a child. Have been followed the guide for installing factory image onto an old nexus s. Using a lenovo T510 laptop running win 10. Have downloaded the factory image , a USB driver, ADB and fastboot files.
Following the Droidviews guide and am stuck when they say "extract the contents of the downloaded factory image to the previos extracted NS-files"?
I cannot see where I have downloaded any NS-files and cannot find any in any downloaded file?
The link to download the NS-files sends me to a Google drive window saying access denied and asking for access? I have tried requesting access but to no avail?
Any help would be gratefully accepted.
Update. After several hundred hours trying to install usb driver/ get ADB fastboot to work/ get phone recognised by pc, I have finally given up to save my sanity ( and my marriage). I take my hat off to you out there that can make these work.
Good job this old phone was given to me so no loss, no micro SD slot so not a great phone to start with. Gonna get Thor to do his thing I think.
Thanks all anyway. Good forum!

[Q] Mount USB storage under ClockWorkmod Recovery 6.0.1.0

Hello,
My phone had been experiencing a host of problems, so I formatted all partitions. (/sdcard, /system, /cache, /data, /boot)
I planned on using the "mount USB storage" to transfer a copy of CM10 to the sdcard and flash that from recovery,
but the device does not appear in my computer or device manager in windows, and Linux doesn't see it either.
In it's current state, it's soft bricked, is there anything I can do to fix it?
It now says "fastboot mode - no boot or recovery IMG", and I have no drivers to communicate with it under adb or fastboot.
Thanks,
-Max
Use this guide to recover your device.
Thanks, but my issue is that I can't install the drivers, could it be a windows 8 thing?
Everything seems to require that I enter USB debugging first, which is impossible for me now.
I think the ADB driver is impossible to install, unless I can do it over CWM, and every fastboot driver I've tried has failed too.
How did you erase everything? Was it through fastboot or CWM?
I did it through CWM. I had just recently installed Windows 8, and hadn't connected it since then so no drivers are installed.

In my opinion, its safer to erase everything from fastboot.
If fastboot recognizes your phone, then you can erase or install whatever you want.
If fastboot does not recognize your phone, then you can't erase it. You then need to find out why. Bad drivers, wrong folders, bad usb cable...In the meantime you phone will still work.
On my windows 7 box, under the administrator account, it took a while to set up the drivers, don't know why, but windows would not take it at first.
Maybe you can mail the phone to a xda member to get it going again...

I am sorry to hear about your phone. You are not alone I did the exact same thing a few days ago. Don't beat yourself up I have done that enough for both of us. Through my research into this i found there a few things that you might try (I don't own a PC so I haven't yet)
To get the drivers, I read a couple people had success downloading PDANet and installing them that way. I think they are located in "legacy drivers"
From the original "root, un-root" thread for your model download the stock boot img and try to flash that using ADB
follow the instructions to un-root and start over with rooting.
I also was going to look into Wug's toolkit (in the dev section) it looks like that may be an easy option to flash a working boot and recovery img.
I hope this helps please let me know.
I gave up to quick and ordered a GNex but I'm not touching that until I get my NS4G sorted out (my faith in my abilities is shaken and I could not handle bricking a brand new phone). I will be going to a friends house tonight to use their PC and try to get my NS running. I will be back to let you known what works and what doesn't. If you try or find anything would you please post? Two heads working on this issue are better then one. Thanks and good luck.

*** success ***
The solution was an easy one thanks to our developers, the hard part was finding the answer and of course, beating myself up for making the mistake in the first place. Here's what you do...
Leave your phone with the battery out for a while. Download "Wug's Nexus Toolkit" In found it in the NS4G dev section but I believe it covers all variants (not sure which you have) at the select your model and custom JB ROM download the drivers (from the actual toolkit) turn on, plug in and select flash stock img, relock boot loader, pick the stock ROM you want and press go and your phone will be flashed and reboot in under a minute. Sign in on your phone (the toolkit should auto populate your new ROM and then just follow the steps to unlock, flash and install a custom recovery then pick any ROM you want and start over.
I really hope this helps you as I'm sure you find the whole situation as stomach-churning as I did. Please PM me and let me know.
If it does work please leave a thank you or donation to the dev for creating such an awesome tool. Again, good luck hope you get your nex back online.

The Nexus Toolkit was actually my first option, it's helped me out before. I went back and tried installing the drivers using the 3 options it gives. # 3 & #2, RAW and Samsung signed drivers don't work. Option #1, the PDAnet drivers didn't work last time I tried it (all 3 options require USB debugging enabled). However, I just tried #1 again by turning on the device in CWM and that seemed to work, but I'm not sure (installation went according to the guide). However, once I tried to flash stock img, it gave me errors about not being able to reach the device in fastboot. Can you elaborate on those two steps, driver installation and flashing? As soon as I can get fastboot to recognize my device I can pretty much take it from there. BTW, I've got a i9020A and using NRT 1.6.1; and what's the significance of leaving the phone with the battery out for a while?
Mine was in the box with the battery out overnight. When I had access to a PC and plugged it in it said something at the bottom of the fastboot screen in grey that it did not before and I actually think that was the trick (System normal or system OK or something like that and when replugged to the USB the message just repeated and stacked up on the lower left of the fastboot screen). Try letting the phone sit for a while. All driver options failed for me except the tool kit.

Tried your fix, but the phone remains unable to have it's drivers installed. It's always giving "USB device not recognized" errors no matter what I do. I'm just going to shelf it and accept my loss. Thanks for the help though!
edit: Tried using some Linux tools, much greater success! This guide finally got my device listed under fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447040
edit2: Up and running again with the android-tools-fastboot package for Linux and a standard stock image flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307

[Q] Need Help Re-Flashing Device

Hi --
I have a Samsung Nexus S that I bought used for development purposes.
I ended up using it temporarily as my phone so when that was ended I decided to do a factory reset of the device.
However, it did not succeed! I wound up with the green Droid lying down with the red triangle. I've tried various ways to reboot the device but it appears there is no ROM for the device to load up.
I am also unable to get ADB to recognize the device. It certain situations it will appear in my Device Manager (Windows 8.1 64-bit)
I see options to load a ROM via USB or "ADB sideways" from the recovery menu. However, since I can't get ADB to recognize the device and there isn't a micro SD slot, how do I get a new ROM on to this device? Is it even possible?
I only paid $40 for the phone on eBay but would like to return it to a usable development phone if possible.
Thanks
Rich
HI --
Okay I did discover that I can access the device via Fastboot so I guess I just need help on where to download the right ROM(s) to flash to the device?
Rich
instructions and needed files are here
developers.google. com/android/nexus/images
p.s. since I cant post links yet, I had to put an empty space in front of .com
Thanks so much.. I'll give that a shot.

let us know if you were succesfull or not
It should be quite straightforward. Let us know if assistance is needed.

[Help] i now have no rom and no computer connection

sitrep
-no rom/os on phone
-computers(multiple) wont find my phone
-since nexus 5 no sd card slot or otg
-twrp working
-was running cm13
main problem. i wanted to install a new rom on my phone so i deleted the old one, so i could put the new one on. then i realised i did not have a new rom on my phone. so i went to connect is to my computer and it could not find it. so now i have a phone that can boot into twrp and nothing else. i did a full wipe of the system.(every single option available in the twrp options)
how do i get my phone back since i cant put a new rom on my phone since i just cant drag a file on it from my computer. since there is no other way i can put files on my phone. it is not because of lack of drivers. since it used to work just fine. i tried multiple computers to be sure. all of which in the past i could access my phone on.
One of the advantages of adb sideload is to solve this kind of situation.
adb push should help too. Your device must be into the recovery mode.
Other solution: download the factory images and flash everything but userdata.
Please only post a thread once, use the below. Thread closed.
no rom and no connection with my computer

[Completed] How to install ROM on Vonino Pluri Q8 tablet ?

Hi there,
Today i've received this tablet. All good and dandy until it notified me it has an update so obviously i've gone and do the update. Surprise.. after reboot, update installment and so on the device won't boot anymore at all, and recover mode doesn't work to enter.
I've found official ROM package on their site:
ftp.vonino.org/public/Firmware/Vonino_Tablets/Pluri%20Q8/Orange%20Version/Android%206.0/
Tablet can connect to the PC, but it isn't recognized because "some drivers" missing. How can i install this ROM on the tablet from my pc ?
Thank you.
Hi,
I can't find anything about it on xda or anywhere. You'll need to contact the manufacturer for drivers and instructions on flashing their firmware.
Good luck!
After i tried like almost the entire day i got the tablet in rescue mode or fastboot mode..
I've wiped/data or factory reset and the same happens... it stays in a loop when boot at logo.
I've let it to do so until the battery went dead from 100% and still the same.
I have official ROM but can't install it at all. I think the bootloader is locked?! And it doesnt even unlock it when using some fastboot commands
Also can't install nothing from SD card and when tryin to use ADB the PC can't see the device, but when using fastboot I can work on it.
In rescue mode i've done some root integrity check and at the end of the check some /system files are modified. I believe this is causing the entire problem.

Typically, on devices I know of, it's fastboot that you would use to flash factory images. So you should be good there. But again, I don't know if that is how your device works too. And it would also typically not matter what's been altered on your device, system wise, you would simply flash the appropriate images with fastboot.
So I'd still say you need to determine the correct procedure to flash the files you got from their site. Perhaps there site has instructions? Or a support number for help of its not working as it should?
I've talked with the support. They gave me a link with an official ROM, a different one that the one that was from the site. But they didn't even told how to use it, LOL.
Have the damn files and don't know what to do with them, OMG.
I've placed the zip archive on SD card and tried to use the option from rescue mode with 'update via sd card". The zip archive is visible but after i select it says Installation aborted :|
I've googled around and maybe my tablet needs to be at over 50% power... but it was plugged into the wall it should've worked.
edit: 100% and no good...
edit2: they sent me another e-mail with a pdf file in which it is explained how to flash their device.

Will Motherboard Replacement Solve Bricked TF300T?

Hi
TF300T JB 4.2.1
Bought new in the US in 2013 so has US SKU. Originally for my wife, but she now has an iPad Pro so I've got the hand-me-down!
Wiped it and unlocked the device successfully using the Asus V8 utility. Tried to flash TWRP from Win7 computer but something went wrong. The interface was still there, it would boot up okay but there was no sign of TWRP. Eventually, I went into fastboot and selected RCK. Nothing happened except the icon turned brown and just sat there. Then I tried a factory reset but it wouldn't have any, nor a cold boot. In desperation I turned the device off and tried to reboot. The initial "Asus" screen came up ("This device is unlocked" in top left-hand corner and the 'Nividia Tegra' logo in bottom right. No spinning circle of dots). It won't boot into fastboot, in fact the volume keys are totally unresponsive. On/off will turn off the device, but it immediately boots back to the same Asus screen. It's not recognised by the Win7 computer so I can't flash anything to it. I think I've tried everything this forum (and a few lesser ones!) could suggest, to no avail.
I believe I now have the proverbial 'bricked' tablet.
Nothing daunted, and not prepared to involve Asus support, I'm considering swapping the motherboard (I've done a couple on Windows computers) but will this bring my TF300T back to life, or is there more I need to do?
I'm no expert on the Android OS so any help from you experts would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
I know the TF300 is a bit long in the tooth now, but all I want to know is whether a bricked one can be recovered by replacing the motherboard. There must be someone out there who has done the replacement and can advise me? Also, I apologise if this in in the wrong section, I guess it should have been in the 'Help' section, but I didn't realise until I'd posted it.

Of course, exchange the MB will bring back your device to life. But it is really the last option.
Firstly you have to check patiently if you can get access into your device. Therefore read mindfully this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396072
"The solution by @Buster99 is for those who:
- flashed the wrong recovery, and wiped data
- are able to boot into recovery, but cannot flash anything
- no adb access (although, if you DO have adb access, this will still work for you...)"
Hopefully my advise will help you! Don't forget to thank @Buster99

ebonit ~ many thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I really don't think there's any way I can get access. The initial boot-up screen is all I get, in perpetual loop. The only way to shut it down is reset with vol-up., though it's possible it may be in some sort of variation of apx mode at this point as the screen is blank. I've no way of knowing as my win 7 computer only acknowledges an 'unknown device' at that point, and nothing when the initial boot screen is there. Vol-down doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Windows has already installed the drivers so won't re-install, or uninstall them as it's 'unknown'. I did once manage to get it recognised as an 'apx device' but with an '!' (not sure how I did it as I haven't been able to replicate it since!) but I don't think that helps me even if I could replicate it without the '!', Nvflash requires I have the necessary back-up files, which of course I don't. I don't know where to go from here except to replace the motherboard. Once I get the device apart I may try disconnecting the battery, vol-down, and reconnect, to try booting to recovery, but I'm not optimistic of that working.
I'll certainly be very happy to consider any other suggestions you, or anyone else, may have.
I tried Buster99's method, but as my TF300T isn't recognised by Windows that was a non-starter.
Once again, many thanks for your input.

I'm sorry, but if you are really sure that you cannot boot into either fastboot or recovery the tablet is bricked for good!
In this case to replace the mainboard will be the last option to get the tablet back to life. There is a very good instruction with pictures by @huebinger that shows you what to do exactly: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368372 (BTW, that's what I did many years ago!!!)
On ebay.com you may find a used one:

ebonit ~ Thanks for the links. I checked out huebinger's and pulled my motherboard out, then bought the one you linked to on eBay. Hopefully, I didn't do any damage getting the MB out. I'm more used to the tough old internal wiring of desktop computers!
I'd already backed up the data and done a factory reset before I began my abortive attempts at rooting so hopefully I'll be starting with a clean slate once I get the new board installed. It's going to take a while to cross the pond to France, but I'll report on how it goes once it arrives.
Thanks again for your help, it's much appreciated.

Hello,
My tf300t got bricked while upgrading twrp.
nothing helped, i put away the tablet, after a year i found her ... so i said to myself "why not" ?! so i ordered from ebay a motherboard, and it's work like a charm, but the tablet is old now ;0
now i want to setup a lite rom ....

I was wondering that, too!
It's good to know the s/h motherboard cured his tablet's ills, though.
My replacement motherboard arrived yesterday and is installed, up, and running.
Android Ver: 4.2.1
Build No: US_epad - 10.6.1.27.5
I downloaded the v8 unlock device app and unlocked the tab.
I've downloaded:
1) djibe Transformer Pad TF300T pack v3
2)KatKiss -7.1_TF300T_029
3) open-gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180517
I have a 32g microSD formated to FAT32 installed in the tablet.
All as per djibe89's tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/general/guide-asus-transformer-pad-tf300t-stock-t3554744
My 'versions' are identical with djibe89's except for the BT version which is 11.38, not 10.38. Hopefully that'll not affect anything!
At this point I run into problems:
1) My USB link between the win 7 (32-bit) computer and the tablet is iffy. Sometimes it works for a while, but I frequently get the "USB device Not Recognized" with a useless MS message not worth clicking on. I'm wondering if there's a more reliable way to transfer files? Airdroid, possibly? Losing connection during file transference doesn't bear thinking about.
2)
Go to folder /Universal Naked Drivers 0.72 you unziped at start on your Desktop.
Select file android_apxusb.inf, then right click -> Install.
Force driver install and wait until a success message prompts.
Repeat operation with android_winusb.inf .
Click to expand...

I tried installing these drivers by both right-click-> Install and also CMD. -to no avail. I get a Windows message saying the best drivers for the device are already installed, but the tab still isn't recognized. Oh, yes it is! Ooops, now it isn't! ad infinitum, I'm guessing.
Can anyone advise how to overcome this or I can see myself keeping the used motherboard salesmen in Mercedes for the next decade! :crying:
3) Assuming I can overcome the iffy USB problem: should I use TWRP Kang 2.8.7.2 or TWRP 3.2?
I guess that's enough problems for now. I hope ebonit or some other expert can assist with this as I really want to get this tab rooted.
Thanks

Congratulations! You did a good job. Thanks for your report.
First of all, to avoid any issues to get your device on N 7.1 Nougatella please follow exactly Tim's install instruction step by step in post #1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702
You need Kang TWRP as advised by Tim. Don't forget to format data through Kang TWRP before. It takes up to one hour. Then change file system to F2FS for data only no cache and system. Successfully done your device is now ready to install Rom, pico Gapps and SuperSU fresh downloaded via Tim's links there.
PS: About your USB issue take another USB port on your PC not via hub!
Good luck!
Three days with nothing from me, you'd be excused for thinking either I was dead, or my tab was! Thankfully, neither. In fact - SUCCESS!!! We're both alive and well, and for the tablet at least, performing better than ever.
TWRP installation took me two days. First, the computer (Win 7 32-bit) refused to recognize the TF300T and 'fastboot' could have been renamed 'nerverboot'. Strangely, the whole business seemed to evolve over time. Persistence was the name of the game - trying different USB ports, booting and rebooting (both tab and desktop). Eventually I found Snoop05's '15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3' https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 and with that I began to make progress...slowly!
Code:
fastboot devices
returned '???????????????' over and over again. By uplugging/plugging the cable into the tablet a few times I suddenly got a nice long string of letters and numbers. It came and went a few times but after a while seemed to stabilize till I felt ready for the big push of TWRP. I got so many error messages: 'can't find twrp.img' (I'd renamed it); 'can't open twrp.img'; 'insufficient memory', etc, etc.. Suddenly, it worked. It took just over eight seconds to download the 6.95MB. Booting into recovery was rather heart-stopping, but it came up a treat.
After that it was relatively simple to set up the TWRP (I found Djibe89's guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/general/guide-asus-transformer-pad-tf300t-stock-t3554744 especially useful and there's a copy in the -djibe Transformer Pad TF300T pack v3' http://bit.ly/djibe-tf300t-v3.
Flashing KatKiss 7.1_TF300T_029, open_gapps-arm7.1-pico, and SuperSU-v2.82 from the microSD I'd copied them to went like a dream and before I knew it the old tab was humming with life once more. I'm a very happy chappy!
I have just two queries (so far ) 1. djibe89 mentions the file 'deviceID.apk' but Tim doesn't. Is it still necessary? I believe it's to keep Google happy, but I've no problems downloading from the Play Store, so I've not installed it as yet.
2) While installing the 'Battery Calibration' app it briefly stated that the tab wasn't rooted. I assume if I've achieved all the above, then it must be?
Now I'm going to play. No doubt I'll be back with a few more queries before too long!
Special thanks to ebonit for his help and support.

To avoid any issues please reinstall your system by doing a Buster99 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12. Be sure you have the latest firmware "WW_epad-user-10.6.1.27.5"
After that delete your Google account. Then you may unlock your device with V7.

TWRP installation took me two days. Eventually I found Snoop05's '15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3' https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 and with that I began to make progress...slowly!

Hope you have Kang TWRP now as required by Tim in post #1!
I'm sorry, but you never mentioned that you cannot access your Tablet via ADB. Therefore please note, the best ADB tool, every Android user may have on his PC, is "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
BTW, the answer to your first question is nope, you don't need it. The answer to your second one is yes the device is rooted. However check the update status of your SuperSU. Hope you did fresh download Rom, Apps and SuperSU via Tim's links in post #1 of the Nougatella thread?
I have installed Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 as per Timduru's link. My tab was wiped before installation so all apps were fresh downloads. SuperSU was 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip' again, as per Timduru's link, as was the ROM ' KatKiss-7.1_TF300T_030.zip'. Many thanks for pointing me to 'Minimal ADB & Fastboot' which I've now installed for future use. And many thanks for all your other help. No doubt I'll be back for more!

You are welcome! It's good to hear that you did such a good job. Using the thanks button is always greatly appreciated.
Please note, if you have any issues or you are changing the Android system, Format /data through Kang TWRP is always required. Format /data is more than wipe (you did wipe!) or factory reset. It takes up to 1 hour to be successfully. After that your system is really clean.
"Warning: formatting will remove what is stored in your internal storage, so store the rom /gapps/supersu zips onto an external storage (microSD, SD card..) or make sure you know how to push them back through adb." advised by Tim in post #1.
