I think I bricked my NS - Nexus S General

I was flashing CM7. This is what I did:
Rooted, ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager.
From recovery did a BackUp (seems useless because it doesn't do anything.)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Install zip from sdcard - selected cm7 - got a Status Error 7
Now the phone won't boot, stays on the Google screen, I can get into the recovery though.
Any ideas? I am downloading the Stock 2.3.3 image.
Thanks!

restore your backup.

I tried doing that from ClockworkMod, gave me an error, it was a ridiculously small file, doesn't seem like a backup.
Even the stock gives me a Status Error 7.
Any ideas?

you didnt brick, just download a a new rom, sounds like it was a bad download.. if the phone shows a screen it isnt bricked...

This is what I get. For both Stock 2.3.3 and CM7. I've tried multiple times.

right did you re download it and copy it back to the phone or just going off the rom you downloaded already? if so worst case shouldnt odin work?

I'm downloading it again. Should I rename it to update.zip? Odin, that's the software right?

I think your problem is because you are using the clockwork mod for I9020, where as for rogers you should be using clockwork for i9023 -- at least this was my case, I have i9020a rogers
you can get it from this link 2nd file.
after using this one you shouldn't be getting "E: can't mount cache" and you shall be able to repeat rooting/flashing steps.

I was feeling so, either the ROM or the recovery. I'm just flashing the recovery, thanks for your help.
Also, how do I manually install ClockworkMod?

What is your computer OS? do you have android sdk?

i think that is all of your system data information (downloaded apps, passwords, pics, settings, etc). doing a factory reset/data wipe clear all of that.

hmmm... I was able to make several successful backups of 4.2.2 ROMs.
did you completely uninstall 4.3 and start from fresh? again, I read that some folks had trouble even getting back to stock or 4.2.2 from 4.3.
while I don't think there is an issue with TWRP, I would certainly post your question on that thread.

Ive flashed just about every rom for my M as it is just a play phone(no service lol) even unlocked it for other carriers and ive never had a problem like this. Well now that its fixed time to flash somemore 4.3's

[Q] Stuck in bootloop and nothing I tried works!

UPADTE: My nvram folder is also gone. Is there anything at all to be done? Or have I purchased a paperweight?
UPDATE: Found out its my IMEI which has disappeared during the OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.3. This happened while 100% stock. Anyway I can get it back? Or at least boot Kitkat?
So my Nexus 4 stopped working after I finally decided to update it to 4.4.2. It was stuck at the starting apps loader then shut off. I proceeded to turn it back on but it got stuck in a bootloop. I’ve tried re flashing 4.3 through fastboot. It seems to flash fine (With the added error that "x".sig was not found) but again gets stuck at a bootloop. Ive tried flashing 4.4.2 the same way (with the same added error) to the same result. I also tried adb sideloading them but it either gave me a "status 7" or "E: signature verification failed". When I tried to "Fastboot update" it gave me the error that the partition to flash it on did not exist. im stumped. Don't know what else to try. Anything?
Note:
-I am not rooted
-USB debugging is not enabled (and now I cant since it doesn’t boot to OS)
-I'm on Ubuntu 13.10
-Also got Windows
- I got the files that I tried to install from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Thanks! :good:
I had the same issue and the solution was flashing stock android by Ncry (http://goo.gl/l0iuEn). If you havent used this software, go to the one click menu with the phone on bootloader mode.
Hope this helps!

I flashed this and it works perfectly fine.
Received OTA here (Netherlands) and all went fine.
Just no root anymore but all went well.
Does anyone know how I can flash it without having root or a custom recovery?

You can adb sideload it without root or custom recovery, just google adb sideload for instructions, can put them in thread if you get stuck.

I think the stock Shield Tablet recovery even lets you flash rom the internal storage or sdcard. Just need to remember that when you get into recovery, you have to hit the power and volume keys to get the menu options to show up.

Little Help needed to get my 6p alive again

please help me.
I have completely wiped my device. nothing is there in internal storage. Just the TWRP folder.
it has unlocked bootloader and twrp installed
but it is the unrooted device.
so please tell me what is best for me?
shall I root it or can I directly go to stock Oero?
I have already downloaded stock file '8.1.0 (OPM6.171019.030.E1, Jul 2018)- angler-opm6.171019.030.e1-factory-1abcb2f1.zip'
I am confused, how should I proceed?
please explain me stepwise, so I can save my phone.

You will be fine I wipe my internal from time to time. Just make sure you update your bootloader and vendor. If you use the flash all I'm pretty sure it's done for you but if using fastboot method follow the steps in the hiesenberg guide. Just so you know once on the latest Oreo builds from what I've read can no longer downgrade. I haven't verified or read up on it myself but maybe look into if you think you might want to go back to nougat .

i have tried that earlier, but still i got the red triangle.
since i failed to go to stock today i installed latest twrp-3.2.2-0-angler using latest SDK tool.
then i flashed Magisk-v16.0 and then ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-angler and it immediately went to google logo and stuck there.
just use this to get back to stock https://developers.google.com/android/images
all you do is boot in to fast boot plug into pc and run flash all
there are ways to save data but you already wiped so no need
if your still confused just look up a guide of how to flash factory images and install the usb drivers

It looks good but didn't seem to flash radio and bootloader maybe just not in screen shot should boot but if it still won't boot in to the stock recovery and factory reset might help
You could have the bad big cores try flashing one of the 4 core fixes. Also I wait to flash magisk until after first boot. It can hang you on the Google screen .

Boots only to TWRP - Need help fixing

Hi there. About a year or so ago I went about flashing my Tab but it went wrong and now all I can do is get it to boot to TWRP. Would someone be so kind as to tell me step by step what to do to get it back working? I'd prefer it to go back to stock ROM without TWRP or other 3rd party flash programs but I'll take what I can get. Help appreciated.
This is what I get when it boots:

No I didn't try that. To be honest I used to flash android stuff all the time but kind of having been doing much of that stuff the last few years so I don't remember how to do any of that. If you were so kind to provide me a link or walkthrough on what to do that would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for the reply.

What was the goal when you started down the path of installing TWRP? It seems like you might have been part way there if you got that far?
There are Lineage install instructions here. <-- More importantly Odin Download if you don't already have it.
If you decide to try Lineage, the latest builds require new firmware found here. It can also be obtained by returning to stock and updating.
Anyways If you are in TWRP, in the restart menu there is an option to restart to download. If will reboot to a black screen, just hit the power button once when the screen goes off. Before you do this, you need to obtain stock firmware, from somewhere. (Sammobile or something like that) You will also need Odin, link above.
As with anything proceed at your own risk.
Once you have those files, you can extract the firmware. They will be labeled and go into those spots in Odin, AP, BL, CSC, then you should be able to hit start. I'm going from memory, as I haven't had to restore mine since I got it (and looking at the files in stock firmware file).
Idk how relevant this is anymore but I had this same issue after I install lineage 18, there's a multi-disabler zip I got awhile ago that fixes all my flashing problems related recovery loop. Just Google that zip, flash it then format and restart. That what I've done easy fix, this assumes you followed the basic steps to properly flash whatever it is you're trying to.
