After Rooting my Nexus S, my phone freezes on reboot. - Nexus S General

This may be a noob question but i am concerned that i may have bricked my phone.
I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878446
with the exception that i downloaded recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img
and used that instead of the 3.0.0.0 the guide says to use...
unfortunately when i finish doing the steps in the guide, when i reboot the phone, it's stuck on the google with the open padlock image. I have been waiting 30 minutes and no change.
my phone is a rogers nexus s running 2.3.3.
can anyone help me?

If your phone powers on, it isn't bricked...
power up the phone holding the power button and volume up and tell me what happens.

it goes into the bootloader.
saying it is in fastboot mode, and is unlocked.

Yeah you're fine. Just flash recovery again.
Open terminal
cd to the directory where fastboot is
./fastboot devices (to verify your phone is connected)
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the recovery image needs to be in the same folder you cd to, where fastboot is)

ok then. I downloaded a new recovery file 3025-i9020.img based on this forum:

Okay, so the recovery image is flashing fine.
What model is your phone? Is it i9020?
Flash a stock ROM for your model.

I've been trying to, however, whenever i try to install a rom (any rom) from the recovery...
i get this:
E:connot find misc
finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img". "boot")
E: Error in /sdcard/rom.zip (status 7)
installation aborted.
I should also note that i now get errors popping up every time i use a menu item in recovery.
the error stems from can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
Also i am 100% certain i have a GT-I9020A as i found my manual.

Hmm, that's a weird issue. Go to mounts and storage and make sure everything is mounted. If it still doesn't work, try redownloading the recovery and flash again.

I just wanted to post that i redownloaded recovery and su and did it all over again and it worked. must have had corrupted files. thanks.

FYI, it's supposed to say ATT if you have a Rogers phone. It just means the phone is using the AT&T band (same as Telus, Fido, Koodo, Bell, etc). If you have a Wind or Mobilicity Nexus S it will say something like TMO for the T-Mobile band.

Secure Booting Error! Cause: Boot certification verify.

Hello there,
I updated my LG P700 to the v20c 4.1.2 JB version. After that, I couldn't find a wayu to root it, but found Framaroot app and succeeded with it. I got a little cocky how easy it was and downloaded ROM Manager. From it, I chose the CWM installation option and the window said it was a success. However, when I clicked to reboot into the recovery, only this little error appeared - "Secure Booting Error! Cause: Boot certification verify." in the left uper corner of the screen. Nothing worked, so I took out the battery and after turning the phone on, I noticed that all the internal memory got factory reseted or something like that and it is just a blank fresh android - all data was lost.
Long story short: flashing recovery from ROM Manager caused the wipe of the memory.
What happened?
[UPDATE] It could be caused by not unlocking the bootloader. I assumed that ROM Manager checks these things or flashes them with the recovery.
If that's the case (pls tell me) then I should unlock the bootloader. Maybe with this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197429 Does it work with v20c 4.1.2 android on my LG L7?
yes, the bootloader is locked, you need to unlock
Thanks, now I'm at least on to something. Does the method from the link works on v20c 4.1.2. version?

I tried unlocking the bootloader with the Flash_Bootloader.bat file, but the error windows flashes only for a split second. I barely caught it and attached the screenshot of it saying "the system cannot find the path specified". What should I do now?
Phone connected in pc software mode, debuggin is on.
[Update] I moved the CWM folder directly to the local disk C and it worked, but didn't reboot the phone. I had to unplug it and then turn on. How to check if my bootloader is unlocked? I don't want any more fails with flashing the recovery ;/

you were needed to write adb reboot to rebbot your phone after, and the only way to chech the bootlaoder is to go on download mode or recovery
Everything is working, just rebooted into Recovery from the rom manager. By the way, how does this adb work? Do I have to run the .exe file after the .bin ?

My LG LS980 device is now bricked

I need big help, my LG LS980 device is now bricked currently works only in recovery mode with ADB commands, any firmware I tried to upload I did not succeed

You may need to restore to stock firmware but I can't figure out the process.
Is there anyone who can help me to restore the device
follow steps to reroot and push loki to device, reinstall recovery. try install again.
before redownload different rom and try to install that, aokp is buggy rom anyway, latest 16th build doesnt boot .

Thanks for your reply, my problem is that I don't understand how do reroot the device.
The device does not have many options, pressing the buttons (power and Vol +) the device enters in a State Factory Hard Reset.
Pressing (power and Vol-) goes into recovery mode and loads the black screen with anticipation for the adb commands
reboot system now
update from external apply sdcard
apply update from cache
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
With closed then press the device (Vol +) and connect the USB cable enters into Download Mode, here you also don't know what to do.
When I hit the power button just opens the device showing the logo of LG and the led flashing in green/blue and after a while makes itself restarted
I searched the forum for reroot and saw that need to do some settings on the device to do root, did I forget something and so I do not understand?
Sorry, I don't understand and become tedious but it's my first time playing with the object
so, you dont have recovery now?
"adb reboot recovery" not working ?
Based on what you said, you are able to get in recovery and adb is working, then push the ROM zip file over and reflash it in recovery.
I'm happy because I just unbrick my device by selecting Download Mode Firmware Update and with the LGFlashTools loaded LS980ZV8_ software 13.51097. tot.
Now I lie in my original problem, I want to unlock to accept SIM card from another provider and another country.
Some help to be able to start from somewhere the unlock process?

[Q] Razr M Stuck in Fastboot

Before I start. I would like to address the reason why. The first thing I hated about Motorola is that when you have updated to Jellybean OTA. It won't be unlocked. Unlike my past phones (ex: Samsung)
1) So it started when I installed SAFESTRAP, which did installed successfully.
2) Placed the Eclipse ROM in the root of my sd card.
3) Made a new ROM SLOT.
4) Saving some space, I deleted the whole /stock files. (Factory reset, wipe data and so on.)
5) When I was about to launch it. Everything was smooth until when I tried to delete files. Nothing can't be deleted or transferred. Which is weird.
6) Out of clumsiness, since I loved the JB look and thinking that would fix my file problem, I downloaded the Eclipse ROM ( the one I think isn't safe-strap compatible)
7) When I was about to boot to the system. It got stucked on ap fastboot, recovery can be accessed but even the button combos can't boot it normally.
The error shown :
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
usb connected
Anyone can help me? Thank you so very much if you did.

It now says Fastboot Reason : Flash Failure
I have tried fastboot option like from House of Moto and even the Droid Razr M Utility, but everytime it reaches
sending boot or system. it is stuck at that point.
Using RSD Lite, it shows failed flashing process gptmain0.bin (Something like that.)
I took the gptmain0.bin from the GPT Fix version of Droid Razr M Utility, placed it in there, and it reaches to failed flashing process tz.mbn
What to do? I'm all out of options really. Thanks.
UPDATE: Tried the logo.bat you sent me, it just says waiting for device. It won't even budge a little. Back to the usual hab boot error. Successfully flashed it using it 1.10. Just that I'm back to the first part. (Boot failure)
So you are locked on ...94 (1) right?

Why do think you are on matt's version? If you were you could unlock!
You are on the one you last took the ota for or was on the phone. That is what locked means.
All you can do is rsd restore the above version or upgrade.

Well now the only thing I can access is Safestrap recovery. Is there anyway I can fastboot in the safestrap recovery. The only thing I can see clearly in my Safestrap is that it can't mount CACHE or /CACHE/RECOVERY
Successfully fixed it myself. All it takes is trial and error all the way and the correct boot.img.

adb sideload "Zip signature verification failed!"

I'm on a Nexus 6p with resurrection remix (for android 6.0.1) trying to flash back to stock 6.0.1. I've been attempting to sideload angler-ota-mtc20l-095e81f7.zip on TWRP (After wiping Dalvik, system, data, and cache) but it keeps saying "Zip signature verification failed!" in my phone and "total xfer: 1.00x" on cmd. I had a backup which I attempted to restore after this failed several times but this left me in a bootloop. Any solution would be appreciated. If you need more information just ask.

You'll have to flash the full factory image, not an OTA. You won't be able to side load or flash from recovery. You can either use ADB to flash the full image with the included flash-all.bat, or a toolkit like NRT.

I exactly have the same issue but, if I understand correctly, because my device is locked I'm unable to flash the factory image. My phone got bricked during a system update. I had this issue once and I was able to recover it with OTA sideload. But this time it doesn't work: when I do the OTA sideload it gives me the signature verification error.
How could I overcome it?

Hi... More infos would help troubleshooting the issue more efficiently.
What was the initial build before the device got bricked?
What was the build "system update" that bricked your phone? Did you update manually or through a pushed OTA? If manually, how did you flash it /bricked your phone?
Finally, which build did you try to Sideload?

Thanks for your help.
My current build before the phone got bricked is N4F26I .
I think the update that bricked my phone was N4F26O.
I applied the OTA from the recovery system by selecting "Apply update from ADB" and then doing an adb sideload.
More info:
– I have tried to sideload the OTA images for N4F26I, N4F26J, N4F26O but for all of them I get the error above (I downloaded the OTA image files from Google page)
– Re-downloaded the files, but no joy.
– Phone is not rooted. It had the stock image
- Device shows as LOCKED. If I understand correctly, when device is locked it's not possible to flash the factory image
- USB debugging is enabled
this is the error which happens when I reach 47% of the sideload:
E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
E: error 21
Installation aborted.

FUBAR - Bricked - Cannot enter Fastboot - Only Stock TWRP

Hello, I am in bad shape, this never happened to me before,
I own a A2017G and I tried to go to Nugart. But every thing went south and FUBAR.
I do not know how to fix it. The problem is that I cannot do a adb reboot edl and option 2 pushing +- does not get me into EDL either.
Therefore I cannot instal TWRP and I have the stock and I get the linux pinguin.
1. I tried to upload into the sd card a update.zip with a stock 09 but the Stock TWRP tells me that I cannot install from SDcard
2. I go to install through ADB , and that gets me into sideload.... however every file I try to update which is large 2.5gig fails and the small ones (recovery.img in a zip) tells mes that I have the wrong header.
What can I do?
Is there a way of sideload twrp???
Thanks for any support!!!
The error I get when uploading a Zip through TWRP from ADB:
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Verifingy update package....
E: footer is wrong
Update package verification took 0.0 s (result 1)
E: Signature verification failed
