Nexus S Forgot Security PIN - Nexus S General

Hey all,
Hopefuly someone can help me otherwise i'm going to have to take this phone back to the o2 shop where I got it from.
I have a Nexus S, was looking at custom roms the other night and decieded to unlock and root it and flash the CyW7 rom onto it.....after a couple hours of playing with the new software I decieded it wasn't for me so flashed the device back to stock 2.3.1 software.
2.3.1 loaded fine and I installed the 2.3.2 update before rooting it so I could install adblock.
Got it all working fine, setup a security PIN (8 digits) and went to bed.
Woke up this morning and found the phone was not accepting the PIN, ive tried rebooting, trying the PIN in different varations incase I setup a wrong PIN in the first place......still no luck
So, i've looked into reflashing the device with stock 2.3.1 software again but USB debug mode isn't on and I can't install the USB drivers in Fastboot mode (says no compatible driver found for my hardware error)
How do I move forward here? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks a billion for anyone who gives me advice....

Boot into recovery and factory reset.

Boot recovery took me to a error screen where I had to take battery out to reset it.
I've managed to get the USB drivers to work now, and flashed the clockwordmod recovery image, then reset the phone.
Can I just confirm;
Is this the correct proceedure for the Nexus S to stop the Clockwordmod recovery from been removed.
1. Download the custom recovery image and save it to your computer
2. Copy the recovery.img file inside the tools folder of the sdk (so it is in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
3. Then in the command prompt that should still be open, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:</p><p>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Once it is flashed, leave the phone in plugged in and in fastboot mode.
6. Root the Phone
7. In fastboot mode, select Recovery using the volume buttons and power button and wait for it to boot into recovery mode.
8. Download the Superuser flashable zip file and save it to your computer.
9. Once in recovery mode, select Mounts and Storage then select Mount USB Storage so we can transfer files to the sd while it is in recovery mode.
10. Copy the Superuser.zip file to the root of your internal storage (do NOT extract it, do NOT put it in any folders, just on the phones storage itself).
11. Select Unmount on the phone.
12. Select Mount System, then select Go Back to get back to the main menu.
13. Then scroll to flash zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sd card and select the superuser.zip file and wait for it to finish flashing.
14. Once it is done, select Go Back then Reboot System and wait for the phone to reboot.
15. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image
16. Once the phone is booted up, plug it in via USB cable and do NOT mount the storage.
17. Open a command prompt on the computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh.
18. Turn off the phone and turn it back on by holding down Volume Up and Power to get into fastboot mode.
19. Plug the phone in via USB cable while in fastboot mode and open the command prompt again and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[HOWTO] All-in-One Guide to Flashing your first ROM

This is an effort to write a comprehensive all-in-one guide (for newbies too) to flash ROMS on Huawei S7 Slim 201.
First and foremost you have to root your device (so that you can use certain applications e.g. ROM Manager, Titanium Backup). Do the following:
1. Download SuperOneClick (google it) and extract the files
2. Install Huawei Ideos S7 Slim drivers to your computer (if you have not done it already).
3. Connect your device to your computer via USB. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging.
4. Run SuperOneClick.exe. Disable your Antivirus program before running SuperOneClick (optional but helpful). If the drivers for your device are not installed, SuperOneClick will prompt you to let it find the drivers itself. Press yes and let it continue.
5. Click the root tab. (For my device I had to click root several times because the process got stuck, but eventually it succeeded)
6. After the rooting process ends, reboot your device.
Important notice: Although SuperOneClick confirmed twice that the device was rooted, Titanium Backup could not confirm root. If anyone knows of another way please advise.
Now, in order to flash ROMs do the following:
First of all, you have to install ClockworkMod Recovery on your device. (This will help you to perform many other tasks)
There are two versions of ClockWork Recovery (that I know of).
First one is v2.1.5.8
1. Download the recovery zip (201u.7z) from the attachments .
2. Extract the file.
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8. With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd (from the unzipped files). In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button anchoosing Reboot> Recovery)
9. When you see the ClockworkMod recovery menu, use the volume up and down keys so many times until the message “back menu button enabled” appears at the end of the screen. Now you can use the power button as ENTER. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately too)
Second one is CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2. (credit to WRCODE over at the androidtablets.net that mentioned it)
1. Download the recovery rar (install.rar) from the attachments.
2. Extract the file. (you will find no reboot into recovery.cmd in those files so, either use the one mentioned above, or use ROM Manager or GooManager (from Play Store) to reboot into recovery. Note: Those managers require rooting your device)
3. Make sure you have activated USB Debugging on your device. Go to settings > applications > development > tick on USB Debugging
4. Turn off your device and connect it to your computer via USB.
5. Press the volume up key and the power key at the same time until the device enters fastboot mode.
6. Run install.bat (from the unzipped files)
7. When the process ends, reboot your device.
8a.With the USB cable connected run reboot into recovery.cmd . In the window that will open on the PC, type “adb reboot recovery” without the quotation marks and your device (after a few seconds) will enter recovery mode. (This is something you will have to do every time you enter recovery mode, unfortunately, unless you upgraded to CM9 or CM10 where you can boot to recovery by long pressing the power button and choosing Reboot> Recovery).
8b. Use ROM Manager or GooManager and select reboot recovery.
(this recovery version does not require anything in order for the power button to act as ENTER)
Having successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, you are now ready to flash your custom rom.
1. Find the ROM that best suits you, download it and place the .zip file at the root of your internal SD Card.
2. Enter recovery mode (as explained above) and select wipe data/ factory reset. Once this is done, select wipe cache partition. Once this is done select advanced and then select wipe Dalvik cache. (very important to do all of these steps)
3. Go back at the original menu and select install zip from sdcard. Select choose .zip from sdcard. Select the .zip file that you placed at the internal SD card (make sure that it is the correct one) and press the power button for ENTER.
4. Once the ROM has been successfully flashed select reboot system now and press the power button.
If everything went ok, after a few minutes you will have your first glimpse of your new custom ROM.
Enjoy it and remember “Use the above instructions at your own risk.”

usb driver for win7
hello. i've been using this tab for a while and would like to root it. sadly when i connected the usb cable to the tab the driver is not installed automatically. so i think maybe i have to install it on my own. but i can't find the driver anywhere, even the official website of huawei. (the page is available but when trying to download, it show "Service Temporarily Unavailable - The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.")
therefore i would like to request if anyone would be kind enough to upload the driver for me to proceed rooting this device.
thanks in advance.

Need Help, No OS

Hi,
The N4 of my wife has big problem.
I wiped in "custom recovery" (TWRP) some stuff for return all in factory settings (this was stupid, I know)
Now, when she reboots on recovery, there is a message "No OS installed !"
How fix this, please ?
Edit: I tried with a toolkit, everything seems good, but when I boot, I have only the google screen.
Edit 2: I send with adb: image-occam-jdq39.zip, but when it failed when I try to install it.
Thanks.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#instructions
^^ negroplasty has given you the link to download the latest factory image. You can flash that to your phone no problem as long as you can boot into the bootloader (from off state, hold power + vol down)
Connect phone to pc, go to bootloader
Throw the image you want to flash to the same folder where your adb tools are
Open terminal, change directory to that folder
Then write: ./adb push EXACTNAMEOFROM.zip /sdcard/
Example of me trying to adb push Xylon
Then go to "Install" on your phone, sdcard, select the image, swipe to flash and that's it, hope this clears it.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop - Save Photos?

Hi,
my Nexus 4 is stuck in a boot loop since 2 days. I found it turned off and assumed it crashed (has done that once or twice before), but after turning it on it's gets stuck on the boot up screen. I've tried restarting it numerous times, left it on the boot screen for hours - nothing.
I can access the recovery mode and according to most things I've found while searching the internet for a solution a "wipe data/factory reset" would hopefully do the trick, but the thing is... I haven't backed up my device in ages. (Stupid, I know.) I'm travelling and took a lot of pictures that I would hate to loose.
Is there any way to save them? I don't care for app data or anything else.
I wouldn't mind rooting it (was thinking about doing that anyway), but I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to Android, haven't done more with it than simply using it.
I have read up quite a bit about rooting in the last two days (here on the forum and everywhere else) but I'm still not sure how exactly to do it, since all methods seem to require unlocking the bootloader and therefore deleting my photos (or just don't give much in the way of explanation).
I'm using a mac, but if necessary I also have Windows installed. I have installed Adb and fastboot following this guide.
The phone is not rooted, I don't have developer options or USB debugging enabled and it's running on 4.4.4.
I would be really grateful for help.
If you can boot into the bootloader you can install a custom recovery, I'd recommend twrp. Then booting into the custom recovery you could use adb to pull files off your device . But your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If it isn't I'm afraid you won't be able to get your photos

bootloop issue
A.
Try to go into safe mode and backup your data.
Boot into Safe Mode:
1. Press/Hold Power button until power menu shows up
2. Tap/Hold Power off option
3. Choose OK to reboot in safe mode
B.
For bootloop problem:
Boot into Stock Recovery
1. Power+VolUp while booting to enter recovery
2. You can release buttons after you see Google on screen
(Note: Must be this sequence Press/Hold Power, THEN Press/Release VolUp, release Power)
3. Android fallen down screen - VolUp to toggle recovery menu
Now wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache in recovery and reboot the phone.
C.
If the (Option B) does not solved then try to flash the stock rom with the below given mentioned steps.
First download any stock rom and also the related usb drivers. Install the drivers into the PC.
Boot into the bootloader.
Open (fastboot.exe) Cmd prompt as admin. Put the stock rom into that particular folder.
fastboot flash bootloader filename.img
reboot the phone and return back to the bootloader.
Then, we will flash all other partitions.
fastboot flash radio filename.img
Again reboot the phone and go back into the bootloader
fastboot flash boot filename.
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
fastboot flash userdata filename.img
fastboot flash system filename.img
If you want to relock the bootloader of your device after flashing the device, put the device back in fastboot mode. Then type in the following command in the Terminal or Command Window you had opened earlier -:
fastboot oem lock
This will re-lock the bootloader of your Nexus device, restoring your warranty and putting the device back to complete stock.
I hope this helps you out.
Thank you, but is there a way to boot into safe mode if the phone isn't turned on? I can not get to the power menu since I can't turn the phone on...
I can only access the recovery menu.
Data backup
Alternate method you can do is that you have to download a software by name 'DROID EXPLORER' - (try to google it) you will find this software from the internet. Then install the software on your PC or Laptop. Once you open the software it will take some time to download the sdk files from the internet then install the windows sdk files also.
Later you go into the recovery mode with the usb cable connected to your PC. Then open the Droid Explorer software you will see your phone connected picture. Now double click and open it go to sdcard and copy all your pictures and other files to your system.
Finally, Once you backed up all your files now you can reflash with the proper rom from the recovery mode. From directly inserting the rom.zip file into the sdcard and run the custom rom after you wipe the partitions properly in recovery.
Note: Before wiping the partitions always unmount the system, data, cache and then wipe it.

[Q] N4 stuck in boot loop after OTA update

Hello,
I saw that the OTA update to Lollipop was available on my phone today, so I went ahead and let it download. Upon completion of the download, it restarted and applied patches, then restarted again and has been stuck in boot loop for about an hour. After reading several other threads on how to try to reset the phone, I'm stuck. When I try power + volume up or down, the LED status indicator flashes red and I never get to any kind of other screen. Am I completely screwed? I previously had stock 4.4.2 with no modifications.
Finally was able to get to the bootloader menu. Apparently having the phone plugged into the charger was preventing me from getting there for some reason. I ended up having to wipe the phone to get it to boot
so you can get into clock recovery right? download nexus 4 toolkit..that might save your phone. I suggest you to unroot and flash everything to stock and then unlock again and start everything from scratch. good luck.
Similar issue on an OTA upgrade to an unrooted N4. It's stuck on the Lollipol boot screen with the rotating Circle thingies.
I can get to the Android System Recovery but there's no CWM or TWRP on my N4. I'm guessing a factory reset will fix it but is there a way to preserve my pics/files on the phone before doing so?

I guess TWRP Recovery has option to enable MTP and you can access the internal SD card by connecting mobile with computer using usb cable.

Flash TWRP Recovery using fastboot.
1. If you have otg y cable, connect it and use file manager to copy all the files.
2. OTG method is failed then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your Nexus 4 to your computer and Enable MTP in TWRP. now you can use adb pull and push commands.
I ended up going the factory reset route, which wasn't really a bad thing. My photos had been backed up in dropbox and the play store remembered all the apps and were able to reload them. The only things I really had to do was reload some music onto the phone and re-enter passwords for apps.
Same story here: sideloaded the OTA zip file, then had bootloop. Tried a few approaches, but none worked. In the end only wiping the data was the solution for me. Lost some userdata in a few important Apps...
I went through this yesterday. The only way to get it to boot is a Factory Reset from Recovery. It works like magic, but sucks you lose the data.
Got the OTA yesterday and also got a bootloop(stuck in boot screen animation). I couldnt afford losing my photos/videos as i had no backup , so i figured out a super easy to get it to boot without wiping data .
I was unrooted with stock recovery running stock 4.4.2, bootloader was unlocked. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot and wiped chache+ Dalvik from there then simply rebooted the phone .
I had already tried wiping cache from the stock Android recovery,needless to say that didnt work for me.
If anyone else is having the same problem please try the method above and report back, cheers!
I post this on Google Product Forum 2 days ago. Hope it helps

(updated 29/11/2014)[not perfect but it is a SOLUTION]
The idea of this is to downgrade your nexus 4 without wiping your data, which means stuff you will need includes:
1. adb and fastboot on your computer (I am using mac but you can find it on windows as well. There are tones of website and forums telling you the latest method of getting it onto your computer)
2. factory image of nexus 4(I use 4.4.4, since that's what it was. I don't have the time and energy to try to do the same thing with lollipop. you can try can leave a comment).
update: do NOT try to flash 5.0 rom using this method. You will be stuck at boot loop again
3. usb cable
4. nexus 4 with unlocked bootloader(the process of unlocking bootloader will wipe your device)
5. computer
steps
1. unzip the factory image (something.tgz)
2. for me, after unzipping the .tgz, I still find another .zip inside. unzip that too.
3. hold vol+, vol-, and power button simultaneously to enter fastboot mode
4. open terminal(mac)(it would probably be cmd for windows)
5. connect your nexus 4(in fastboot)
6. to make sure it connect successfully, type "fastboot devices". if something like "005040c0d54bb291 fastboot" appears, you are good. Otherwise, try reconnect your device/boot to fastboot again/use another usb cable
7.now we need to tell the terminal to navigate to the location of the unzipped factory image. to do that, i suggest you put the unzipped folder to somewhere easy to find, like desktop. these are some commands to help you navigate:
"ls" allows you to look at whats inside the current directory of the terminal. For example, this is the output after typing "ls" for me:
some folder Photos
nexus4image.tgz how many folders do you have
5.zip occam-ktu84p
more folder occam-ktu84p.zip
after knowing where you are, use "cd" (below) to go to your folder
"cd" means change directory. For example. "cd Photos" will brings me to the "Photos" folder. And then if I type ls, I will see a whole bunch of photos in my photos. If you go to the wrong folder, type "cd ..", and it will bring you back to the previous folder.
8. flash bootloader.
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30d.img
9. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. flash radio
enter the following command, BUT REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE NAME TO FIT YOURS(DIFFERENT VERSIONS HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FILE NAME AT THE END(type ls first to help you type the correct name)
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1701.03.img
11. reboot bootloader. just copy and paste
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. flash system
system.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate. This steps takes the longest time, total time on this step is 87 seconds while the others are less then 1 second
fastboot flash system system.img
13. flash boot
boot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
14. flash recovery
fastboot.img is located inside the zip, use ls to help you navigate.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
15. format cache(not the memory, so everything should be fine)
fastboot format cache
16. reboot and wait
this will reboot your device. You probably have to wait for a while to initialise all the apps. after than you are good to go!
fastboot reboot

[HOW TO] Unbrick Yu Yureka (easiest method)

Hello guys!
Is your Yu Yureka stuck at the YU boot logo?
Is it not booting any further?
Here you can find the perfect solution to your problem!
Disclaimer
Do it on your own risk
Lets unbrick your device
First of all you will need to download the following files: (remove spaces and the links will work)
1. Minimal ADB Fastboot tool: drive. google. com/file/d/0ByxhrvEhhF3FSFU4SnNFR0hSYmc/view
2. Latest release Cyanogen Recovery and CyanogenMod build (ROM): download. cyanogenmod. org/?device=tomato
3. TWRP Recovery: drive. google. com/file/d/0ByxhrvEhhF3Fc0d6S0hMRTNQSW8/view
Now install the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.
After the program is installed correctly, open C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot in your computer.
Copy the CyanogenMod build(ROM) zip file in an external SD card and insert the SD card in your phone.
Now rename the Cyanogen recovery image your downloaded before to recovery.img and then copy it in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Do copy the twrp.img also in the same folder.
In the folder, hold shift and right click anywhere in the empty space, there will be an option, "open command window here", click that. This is will open cmd prompt window.
Before continuing any further, make sure your device is charged at least 50%.
Now take the battery out from your Yu Yureka and connect it to the computer with the help of micro USB cable.
Yes, connect it without the battery, make sure its connected properly.
after connecting the phone, type this command in the cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If your device is detected and everything will be working,then this will flash the stock cyanogen recovery to your phone.
(Note:You must have renamed it and copied it to the folder as mentioned above )
Now remove the cable from your device, insert the battery, then hold volume up, volume down as well as power button simultaneously for a few seconds. This will take you to the recovery mode.
Format all your data and cache with help of the recovery option.
Now attach the cable again and type this commandin the command prompt:
adb fastboot bootloader
Wait till the device boots into the fastboot mode, thn type this command in the command prompt:
fastboot boot twrp.img
([OPTIONAL] Note: if you want to flash the TWRP recovery permanently on your phone, then type this command instead:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then manually reboot into recovery mode)
Now you will boot into TWRP recovery. Go to "wipe" option, followed by "advance" option then mark all option you see except sdcard, and wipe it all. This will delete all your data.
Now go to "install" option in the main recovery page. Direct to External SD card and find the CyanogenMod build you copied earlier to it. Then install it.
This will take time. After the installation will complete, TWRP will display the message "Successful".
Then reboot your phone. This will take at most 45 mins to install. So, kepp patients and wait till it boot completely.
Here you go!
your Yu Yureka is unbricked now.

Hello guys!
Is your Yu Yureka stuck at the YU boot logo?
Is it not booting any further?
Here you can find the perfect solution to your problem!
Disclaimer
Do it on your own risk
Lets unbrick your device
First of all you will need to download the following files: (remove spaces and the links will work)
1. Minimal ADB Fastboot tool: drive. google. com/file/d/0ByxhrvEhhF3FSFU4SnNFR0hSYmc/view
2. Latest release Cyanogen Recovery and CyanogenMod build (ROM): download. cyanogenmod. org/?device=tomato
3. TWRP Recovery: drive. google. com/file/d/0ByxhrvEhhF3Fc0d6S0hMRTNQSW8/view
Now install the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.
After the program is installed correctly, open C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot in your computer.
Copy the CyanogenMod build(ROM) zip file in an external SD card and insert the SD card in your phone.
Now rename the Cyanogen recovery image your downloaded before to recovery.img and then copy it in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder. Do copy the twrp.img also in the same folder.
In the folder, hold shift and right click anywhere in the empty space, there will be an option, "open command window here", click that. This is will open cmd prompt window.
Before continuing any further, make sure your device is charged at least 50%.
Now take the battery out from your Yu Yureka and connect it to the computer with the help of micro USB cable.
Yes, connect it without the battery, make sure its connected properly.
after connecting the phone, type this command in the cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If your device is detected and everything will be working,then this will flash the stock cyanogen recovery to your phone.
(Note:You must have renamed it and copied it to the folder as mentioned above )
Now remove the cable from your device, insert the battery, then hold volume up, volume down as well as power button simultaneously for a few seconds. This will take you to the recovery mode.
Format all your data and cache with help of the recovery option.
Now attach the cable again and type this commandin the command prompt:
adb fastboot bootloader
Wait till the device boots into the fastboot mode, thn type this command in the command prompt:
fastboot boot twrp.img
([OPTIONAL] Note: if you want to flash the TWRP recovery permanently on your phone, then type this command instead:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then manually reboot into recovery mode)
Now you will boot into TWRP recovery. Go to "wipe" option, followed by "advance" option then mark all option you see except sdcard, and wipe it all. This will delete all your data.
Now go to "install" option in the main recovery page. Direct to External SD card and find the CyanogenMod build you copied earlier to it. Then install it.
This will take time. After the installation will complete, TWRP will display the message "Successful".
Then reboot your phone. This will take at most 45 mins to install. So, kepp patients and wait till it boot completely.
Here you go!
your Yu Yureka is unbricked now.
I have tried this on my own Yureka and it works fine
Thank you all! :good:
