Have you tried changing it back over ADB? Or maybe while in recovery?

Ooh, that's rough. I got into the stock recovery by doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-boot-stock-recovery-t3123751
barcodelinux said:
1. Power off
2. Press and hold the Vol - and Power button until the LG boot screen appears.
3. Release the Power button ONLY. Do not release the Vol - button.
4. After 1 second, press and hold the power button again. You should see the white recovery screen.
Use the Vol+/- to navigate and Power to select.

Im currently in TWRP, but adb sideload isnt working and after mounting \System i still cant write to it... lol... Im thinking of going down the line of a Flashable build.prop

Huh, /system should be remountable as rw. The command should be something like this:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /system
Once you do that, you should be able to adb pull your build.prop, edit it, then adb push the fixed version.

Arh it didnt work, i think it was the first zip that i flash that i created myself, Think it might have broken the Firmware xd
I have a working recovery so its not a complete loss, Ill just wait until the release the appropriate firmware files or a custom ROM ;p
Unless you have any other ideas ... But beyond that, think there isnt much else I can do

I have my note 4, Works a treat. For the mean time im not so bother about it. I can get the ROM on via MTP through recovery so not really an issue
Thanks for the help.
Can't get rid of the Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped notification, Play Store isn't working anymore, tried "everything" (removing updates, removing Google account, downloading fresh Play and Services, etc.(no factory reset yet though) (factory reset done and now in bootloop mode)) so a flashable system zip would be awesome! :good:

I know you guys hate when people jump the gun...but I'm honestly running out of ideas here. Earlier today I tried to use LCD Density changer on my Nexus S...whether this was stupid on my part, you all can decide later. As for now my nexus boots a black screen. I'm only posting here cuz maybe in finding a solution we can uncover a bit about how the nexus is set up, because it seems to refuse any changes made to the system through fastboot or adb push.
I have tried just about every option to restore the system to stock format, and need help getting my nexus back to booting condition. I've tried fastboot flashing the system.img and just get a "write failed" error. I've pushed the whole system dump to /system through adb and when i reboot it is still missing the files i just pushed. I've flashed different boot.img's in combination with the first two steps, and still my phone remains unbootable.
Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Is it safe to say you didnt do nandroid restore prior?
Yes, that is correct...didn't think it'd cause this much of a problem(stupid me). I asked earlier if maybe some could upload a nandroid restore for me so I could at least attempt that. But I got no response, so I'm still in the dark.

Hahahahaha best thing I've heard all day
Apparently the NS is super-brickable, according to JBQ (@jbqueru) on android-building:
-Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there
are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use
Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock
or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B
(where B means "brick"); I have two of those, they're not very useful.
I'll send some guidelines about what is currently possible once I've
finished pushing the source code.

adb push may not have been working because your system wasn't mounted properly in Clockwork recovery. I had this issue when trying to root. In Recovery, go to Mounts & Storage and hit "Mount System" THEN adb push the system dump.
You probably didn't need to nandroid. Could have just used adb to reset the density line in your build.prop I assume?

Hi guys, i'm the developer of LCD Density Changer. Sorry about the problems it caused.
Is it true that the Nexus S, doesn't support a density change. That would be a real bummer! Not for the app, but in general. I just don't hope Google blocks a density change in their new Android versions.
A question: does the "preview/temporarily" density change works in the LCD Density Changer app. If so, there is still hope.
Meanwhile, based on these reports I will put up a note to warn Nexus S users.
I keep getting the constant nexus loop I am trying to root and I cannt get past that any advise?

Not sure where the .zip is to flash the entire system..in fact, I don't think that was officially released yet. If you managed to get Clockworkdmod installed, I know there is a system image you can flash in the Dev section here.
Or If I have a nandroid back up how can I get that on m y phone to run that? I have it on the SD part of my card but doest show in the back up and restore file

Okay so I have the sprint LG G2 and was being an idiot messing around with the hidden menu and I selected an option fota update test or something and my device rebooted. Now it only reboots into recovery mode. I have TWRP 2.6.3.2. It tells me that it cannot find my backup. The Log file says E:storage partition //twrp/backups not found. I dont know what to do. Ive tried flashing roms, but it just reboots back into recovery every time even when I tell it to reboot bootloader. Any Ideas?
It's fixed! I used the Lg flash tool with the sprint .tot file and she is alive! Thanks all of you I appreciate it.

you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:

Hey thanks for responding. I tried doing that just now and it still keeps rebooting in recovery. I did the first option though. I cant find where to enter commands on TWRP. It just tells me to pick a folder.

are you on sprint? Thats what im on. I tried that method,but got stuck on this part: 4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.
When I would go to unplug it and reboot into download mode it just wouldn't do anything the app would just say ready.
I somehow got my nandroid back but when Its done flashing it just reboots back into recovery. I dont know whats going on.
Man this is so frustrating. Ive tried all these things and it still only boots recovery even after flashing my nandroid I made awhile back. Im stuck and dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure that you did the 2nd method properly?Try once more and double check what you type.Why this worked for me when i did the same but it doesnt work for you..Nothing much you can do atm either that,or download a kdz rom and try to upgrade with flashtool.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I got it fixed by using the lg flash tool. I feel like such an idiot. Ive been coming around these forums for awhile I just never registered. I consider myself pretty good with tech but im self taught so their is alot of trial and error and noob mistakes. +1

Haven't received any information at all. I did attempt to do it from this Post but failed for some reason and my tablet wouldn't boot, just stuck on logo. Not thought of xposed module at all because I would think it would act as a third party app. Those do not get along well with the TWRP 3.0.2-1 recovery by @ashyx. If you use 3rd party app to reboot to recovery with that version, you'll be stuck in recovery and not be able to boot to system until you reinstall the recovery with same instructions as first time you install it.

I tried @ashyx 2.8.7 twrp but touches were way out of line so had to go back to 3.0.2 recovery. I think it has to do with the MM 6.0.1 firmware.

I have tried the CF-Auto-Root method twice now, both resulting in being stuck on boot like the other times. However, maybe I needed to wait longer? Next time I attempt a root I will leave the phone alone for at least 15 minutes before I call it a failure. Still, the post you linked seems to be for older firmware. Would you still recommend the method for Nougat? Thanks for the reply.

I think I've isolated the problem. After using adb sideloader to install magisk and antiroot remover, I'm prompted to reboot. In other guides, there is a further options screen after pressing the reboot button which has a couple checked boxes and a button that says "Do Not Install". I see this screen for maybe a third of a second after selecting Reboot before the device reboots on its own. Just tried this and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo once again.
Note: There are many errors in the adb sideloader log relating to being unable to mount/unmount /data/ and stuff like that that I know are related to having an SD inserted.
Edit: I should also note that I am new to android. Fresh newbee from iOS, but I have been jailbreaking for the past 9 years. Still in over my head I think.

Deleting stock apps, installing adblock, exploring non-Google Play apps, possibly installing custom ROM. I enjoy seeing what my phone can do.

Once data is wiped in twrp then reboot back to recovery and connect usb to pc. You should be able to copy SuperSU zip via mtp and your phone should show up on pc. Flash SuperSU zip once copied

The phone is recognized on the PC but there are no folders. Any files I try to drag over come up with an error. Furthermore, I could use the stock firmware USB to store the necessary files on it, but I can't seem to navigate to the same storage destination via the TWRP file browser.

You could copy SuperSU zip to a usb flash drive and use the otg adapter that came with the s7? Twrp support otg usb install.

I've had no trouble installing TWRP whatsoever. I've done it five times today!

seems nice, good luck. maybe lacking some finishing touches you need to do. I remember well my first too so, and the key is I have to format the data in twrp

Update: Still stuck on Samsung boot logo after 15+ minutes after successfully loading from usb drive. TWRP still skipped right by the reboot options screen after the install... I have no clue why it's doing that. It's like it's taking the command to reboot after I press the button and processing it while it is going to the next screen. I don't know. Hopefully someone does. It's so close!
EDIT: IT WORKED!!! Had to format and then installing from usb drive worked great! Thank you so much!!

I am glad to hear it. Like I said, just need the final touch that you might forget

False alarm! Root checker says my phone is not rooted... I'm lost... At least my phone booted?

Currently following this tutorial and awaiting boot past the Samsung logo. Hoping it works. I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Edit: Running a rooted Android. Thanks
