Problem while Rooting Nexus S via Clockwork Mod - Nexus S General

Someone Please Help
I was Rooting my Nexus S using the step by step guide to ROOT Nexus S using clockwork Mod posted by AllGamer and am stuck in the 2nd Part now.
I have unlocked the phone now but the next step is not working. Everytime I hit the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img I get an error saying unable to load recovery.img
I have checked everything, its all fine. i tried downloading the recovery image from other sources and tried it as well, still no luck.
Someone please help me with this!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.
PS. Im using a Nexus S running on Gingerbread 2.3.3

If your PC already has the phone driver and fastboot, you can skip several steps including downloading the sdk.
I used this yesterday to root my ns and to install a custom rom.
Cheers!

If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now
1) mount /system
2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Reboot and you are rooted.

Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.
After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".
And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.
Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?
I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?
In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.
Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.
Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.
Thank you again.
It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.
Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.
Even when I install PC Studio 3.
Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.

Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.
If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.

Yes, i can mount my phone, but when i try to install the default rom, but it's not working. I have an error.
At least the manipulation is working, i can mount on my computer the nexus.
Do you have a rom 2.3.4 for Nexus i9023 please? Maybe i don't flash with a good rom?
Thanks again for your help.
I try again, to flash with the original 2.3.4, but the operation abort everytime.
Do i have an other choice for flashing my phone?
Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.
But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".

I flash, like the first time, from Windows "cmd"?
Sorry for all those questions, but i don't want to make something who can kill my phone.
And I think, i don't have the good bootloader.
My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".
You think, i have to change the bootloader first?
For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?
Waiting for your answer.
Thank's a lot

Yes, from cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" , replace "recoveryname.img" with what it's named. Good luck.

I flash the recovery, and now i have the v4.0.0.2, but i still can't flash a rom.
I still have the same message:
"assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop". "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/soju/crespo:2.3.2/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys" ||

E: Error in /sdcard/update 2.3.3.zip
(Statut 7)
Installation aborted.
Don't you think it's because my bootloader is not the good one?
Can flash it too, from Windows?

[Q] Booting into recovery shows "no command"

Hi there,
yesterday succesfully rooted my device using the insecure boot image.
Today booted and also flashed the new CWM recovery image but now, when booting into recovery only get an android logo and the text "no command" ?
Any ideas ? Flashed back to original recovery image but no change either ?
Root remains though and working fine.
Thanks

Not true read here again :
UPDATE: There is an official ClockworkMod recovery for Nexus 4 now available directly by Koush, so this should all be easy as pie now and you can now safely install CWM too. I am updating the CWM method with the updated instructions.

It seems tonight clockwork will release a new version with bugfixes which should make recovery working when flashed also.

New clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.8 had been released and I can confirm myself that it is working perfectly and stays when flashed !
You can download it here and follow the instructions as written here.
Good luck !
excellent, i was waiting for someone to confirm before flashing it myself

Meanwhile a newer 6.0.1.9 is released as well, which will hopefully also fix the backup being in the wrong location and not usable
CWM is fixed. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995440
6.0.1.9 is the one i flashed and I'm still looking for my backup :s
n7'd from my n7
Disregard this post! It was meant for LBE which is a Virus or acts like one (Newest version that was translated)
I'm having the "no command" message as well. I've flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 no-touch (following this guide), and it doesn't seem to be sticking. It'll work the first time, but then revert to the "no command" screen. I've also tried flashing the stock recovery, and then I receive the same message. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I managed root via the same guide. Anybody have any ideas?

From efrants android 101 sticky:
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick.

Perfect! Thank you! I had just previously downloaded 4.2.1, and so renaming recovery-from-boot.p did the trick. I had to remount my /system as read/write (used Total Commander, and it worked like a charm.

No Command recovery problem
Hello im using a Canvas Magnus A117 its an amazing phone i rooted it but wanted to install chainfire 3D on it but it didnt work and now my phone is bricked. I tried flashing a custom rom but in recovery when i click on apply update from sdcard it says No command. with a dead android and a red triangle with !. So i cant use any feature in the Recovery mode and my phone is bricked. What do i do?

Please help with updating...I feel like such a noob, and I feel shame...

Hey all...I'm sorry for sounding like such a noob (trust me i'm not as big as one as you may think) I'm just having a hard time grasping the idea of updating my Nexus. Let me explain:
I'm currently running stock rom but have Matr1x kernel on my phone. The only thing I've changed so far are a few icons (by pulling files from the nexus toolkit, replacing the icons and pushing them back to my phone).
I would prefer not to have to go through and redo all my icons, and would just like to get 4.2 onto my phone.
I looked over the directions on how to do this, but for the life of me (and IDK why) i can't seem to get my head around it...and it's making me feel real real stupid...
can someone please explain to me like i'm 5 how to do this? Or maybe just point me in the direction of a youtube video that will walk me through it...?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a noob...
Why not just backup the apk's+data you edited, save them to your computer, flash the stock images, root and restore the apps+data?
Edit: And flash a 4.2.2 kernel.

First of all, ditch the toolkit. You don't learn anything when you use toolkits. Probably why you're in the situation you're in.
Backup with titanium, or just make a nandroid and use titanium to extract the apps later.
To flash stock images:
Reboot into bootloader.
Open command prompt and "cd" to the directory where fastboot lies.
Type these commands -
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Optional -
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Then reboot

I extract the adb folder from the android SDK and drop it in C:\.
So for me, it's "cd C:\adb"
I believe in the SDK it's in platform-tools or some such jazz. You can always do a search on your computer...
You have installed the android SDK, right? If not, your toolkit might have the adb and fastboot files in it. Grab them from there. Make it work. You can do it.

There should be a fastboot.exe and a few .dll files, as I recall.
Could someone upload all the latest files needed for adb and fastboot in a zip for him? Won't take you 5 minutes. I'm not by my computer.
Why not flash CM10.1 or latest Xylon.
Back up apps with titanium, flash ROM, flash gapps, restore via titanium.
Or do you want stock?

Download this http://d-h.st/iy0. Unzip it. Plug your phone I'm the computer, go to the directory where you installed the toolkit. (Right click on the shortcut/properties it should say it there) go in the directory, FLASH ITEMS HERE folder. Put the boot.img and system.img in there. (Radio.img is optional). Open the toolkit and go to flash images. Flash boot.img first. The directions should be on the toolkit. Then system and etc... Make sure you put it in fast boot or type no when the toolkit asks if your in fastboot mode. This will NOT delete your data. When you flashed everything, go to settings on your phone. (If there is a bug with updating it through settings, clear cache and data for Google services framework and force stop it. Then go to cache on root explorer (/cache) and delete the corrupt/partial update and try Again). Once you reboot, cwm will ask if you want to install update. Hit yes and install untrusted package. Then it will try to replace cwm with stock recovery so hit no. If you lost your root then get supersu from the play store and install the binaries via cwm.
Hope this helps.

Btw I chose to flash it through toolkit because I was afraid you would've got the commands mixed up and you would never get it. One day you probably will

Lg l7 bricked, need help

One of my brother's friend made "something" to my brother's phone trying to update it.
In short, he bricked the phone (p700), which is looping on boot animation.
What I tried so far:
-I used KDZ and pushed the V20A_00.kdz that has CWM 6.0.2.8, still no boot
-I tried to install a Custom Firmware got error "Status 7" telling me that the CF I wanted to install was for the p700 and my device is a "u0"
Now I'm stuck at this point, what am I doing wrong?
-I thought of pushing a valid p700 build.prop through ADB, but "su" command doesn't work.
-I thought of editing the "scriptupdater" file of the CF, first I tried with this method this time it doesn't give me "Status 7" but it aborts the installation without furher explanation
At this point I'm starting to lose hope, I really want to fix this, please, could you help me?

-I used KDZ and pushed the V20A_00.kdz that has CWM 6.0.2.8, still no boot
-I tried to install a Custom Firmware got error "Status 7" telling me that the CF I wanted to install was for the p700 and my device is a "u0"
Now I'm stuck at this point, what am I doing wrong?
-I thought of pushing a valid p700 build.prop through ADB, but "su" command doesn't work.
-I thought of editing the "scriptupdater" file of the CF, first I tried with this method this time it doesn't give me "Status 7" but it aborts the installation without furher explanation
At this point I'm starting to lose hope, I really want to fix this, please, could you help me?

When I don't edit the "getprop" part of the updaterscript I get "status 7" error as expected. "This is for p700 devices. Your device is u0"
When I do edit it: "installation aborted"
I will search for it tomorrow,for now i must sleep,its 00:00 in my town,am sleepy.

You have to update your recovery with Rom Manager or flash the latest TWRP with CWM ( TWRP is an other recovery ) ! No need to edit anything !

Sometimes, the problem happens when your recovery is outdated. So, download ROM Manager and in the app you'll be able to update CWM. If it's already update, download TWRP by @tudorsbird and flash it with CWM. Your recovery will be TWRP but you won't be able to restore backups performed with CWM. If you can't boot but have a SD card, you can put TWRP on the card and flash it.
Or, you can try this ( with Fastboot ) to flash a new recovery :
