Reboot into boot loader. (Power button and hold volume down)
Then select recovery. It will boot into cw, and you can restore or reflash.
I tried that, didn't work, My nandroid would load just fine and then nothing.. I just loaded the old rom on and it works..
Maybe you can answer this for me since i'm a noob, If i have gingerbread 2.3 how would i load a diff rom on there (honeycomb, etc..) ? I'm using clockword mod recov 3.0. something something

Simply put the .zip file for whatever rom you want on the SD and flash like you have been. That simple. Once you wipe, its like a clean slate so you can flash whatever you want.
Thanks, Maybe there was something wrong with my Nandroid back and it would restore my previous save.. So it doesn't matter what kernal/rom or version of clockwork I have as long as I wipe data & reset correct?

I posted this on DamageLess' page in hopes that he could help me, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I figure someone on this forum can help me.. Just read the paragraph and you'll know my problem...
Hey man, I really need your help
I tried using your new DCUpdater (which is a fantastic idea btw) and i'm having a major issue. My phone won't boot. At first I was having problems with SuperUser, but I fixed that by enabling USB debugging, then unplugging the phone, then using the Updater. That worked. But when I tried to reboot the phone, it wouldn't boot. I wiped, restored to my most recent backup, and it still won't boot. I wiped, manually installed your new ROM, and tried to reboot again, and that's where I am right now. It had the Quietly brilliant screen, flashed the sprint logo screen, and now it's back to the Quietly brilliant screen. I think it's in an endless boot, because as I was typing this, the screen flashed grey for a second, then it flashed the sprint logo, and now it's back to quietly brilliant. Please please PLEASE get back to me asap, because I don't know what to do.

id say do not flash a rom. do a factory wipe then restart. read my comment under ur original post
You can do what the 2nd guy said..
Wipe everything.. Then dont flash or nandroid restore.. JUST reboot your phone.
Or save all your files to your computer that are on your sdcard... Repartition your sdcard. Then reflash the rom and move your stuff back.

I just did a factory reset, wiped my Dalvik cache, and wiped my sc card option thingy. I went straight from there to rebooting my phone. I'll say something if it boots now
i'd say wipe settings, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, flash rom, boot. if that doesn't work, wipe again and again then boot.

Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.
I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way i can get my phone back up and running restoring everything from clockworkmod?

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.
This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

The Modaco rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883985) should work just fine. Put it on the USB storage then in Clockwork go to "Install from zip."
i have a problem almost like that but my rom manager open but wont even backup current rom or anything, my titanium back doesn't backup either. it said i could not acquire root privileges, this app will not work, please vertify that you rom is rooted and includes busybox, i have busybox and it's rooted. i guess this happen when i update the google update last night from rom manager. what should i do

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."
Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.

Did you wipe/factory reset before attempting to install? I realize that you're pretty much wiped at the moment, but always best to start with that.

You've tried another NAND backup, besides the one that MD5 mismatched, yar? Be careful not to rename it, as that can cause the mismatch.
Nope

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.
Im trying it now.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.

Hi,
I rooted my Nexus S but somewhere around got lost and panic. So don't have any backup. Will try to explain everything in order to see if anyone can help me.
Followed this h**p://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/ guide and did everything. was going well. But after the bootroot step things got messy. Now I can only enter recovery mode, and even upload ROM's. But none of the Back, Search or Home key on the phone work. Even tried to install Stock Google 2.3.3 but it doesn't install at all. Anyone can say if it was the Bootrood and how I can revert. Or is my Nexus S bricked...
Thanks and sorry for the bad english.
R.
For hacking Nexus S, I would suggest doing it from the Android Development forums for Nexus S rather than a website. And Recovery, you aren't supposed to be using Back, Search, Home key.. its the volume buttons and power button.
What Recovery are you using? Clockwork or Stock?
using clockwork. the buttons don't work after. when i install any rom. after. and the stock roms just don't install.
Bootloaderversion - I9020XXkA3
Baseband Version - I9020XXKB3

what are the steps you are using to flash a ROM? just asking to see if you're doing it properly. list what ROM, and Clockwork 3.0.0.5 correct?
Tried already CyanogenMod7 Nightly #12, Axura-1110-NSE, GingerS-ROM-v0.7-signed and the GRI40 2.3.3 (stock).
Yes, my ClockworkMod is v3.0.0.5.
I manage to install the rom's, but the problem is after. Looks like the screen isn't calibrated. And none of the Home,Search,Back and Options 'keys' work. Just power, and the volume. but if the phone enters in standby mode I can't get him back. Any way to just put it like factory again. In other words, is it possible to 'Unroot' or just get the stock working?

Screen not being calliberated is a 2.3.3 problem with yellowish tint. To fix this you need a kernel supporting Voodoo Color. And yes, download a nandriod backup and restore it. You can find the backups on the Dev forum.
already wiped everything from the phone.
the problem is that none of the keys after work.

Wiped Dalvik / Cache / Data? Try downloading a nandroid backup from the dev forums then Nandroid Restore, and for a LAST RESORT. you can try Odin but I never used it for the NS.
If not then, you seriously messed up your phone by doing improper instructions on that website (or. the website did it wrong)

already did that. wipe all the cache and data. everytime i try to install a rom need to do that.
how to do Nandroid restore.
Problem solved.. still don't know how.. but it seems to be working. Many thanks!
nandroid restore: download one.. put it in clockworkmod/backup
then go into backup/restore in recovery
dalvik wipe is in advanced in recovery
I have MIUI on my phone, but I don't really want it anymore. Is there any way that I can get my phone back to how it was?
Wipe and flash a new ROM. If you need to ask how, don't. It sounds like you need to do some serious reading first.
If you've managed to root, wipe, and flash MIUI, you should be capable for re-wiping and flashing something else.

Maybe he/she bought the phone with it that way. In which case, do nothing until you read read read.
They are right. You need to read for your own good.
That said, do you have a custom recovery? I would assume so. Before you do anything, make a backup in recovery.
Next, go to the development section for this device and find a ROM you really like. Learn about the differences between AOSP, Sense, and MIUI ROMs.
When you have chosen and downloaded a ROM, reboot into recovery again. Wipe cache, system, boot, and data partitions. Finally do a wipe data/factory reset. At this point all you have on your device are the bootloader and recovery.
Go to install zip from SD card and search for the ROM you downloaded. Install it. Reboot and wait. First boot always takes longer.
If boot is unsuccessful, boot back into recovery, wipe, and flash the backup you made.
Understand that I am merely trying to be helpful. I make no guarantees, but wrote these instructions to be nice. If your phone bricks, bursts into flames or implodes and creates a singularity that engulfs the planet, I am in no way responsible.

Yes. I just went from MIUI to Febs ICS beta 5.0.
I downloaded the ICS beta (you can pick whatever ROM you want from the Android mytouch dev section). Mounted my phone for USB storage, transferred the ICS Beta.zip to the phone then unmounted it.
Then in MIUI when you hold the power button down, it should give you the option to reboot into recovery or you can use ClockworkMod to do it.
I did option A) rebooted into recovery through power off feature in the MIUI. Then you go down to backup, make a backup. Then you wipe cache and wipe data. Go to advanced and I believe you can wipe dalvik(sp?) cache under the advanced setting.
Then you go to install from sdcard and then scroll down to your zip.file.
Then boom let it install. then when it says install complete you press the back button, click reboot and BAM you will be off MIUI and on whatever ROM you chose.
I would take everyone's advice on here to go read everything you can. I made this post hoping you have some knowledge of flashing and all that jazz. Let me know if you need any help.

You missed a step. Go to mounts and storage and format /system.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
I hate asking too much questions.. But I was using clockwordmod to backup all of my things and try out a new theme. I ended up not liking the theme so then I went back to recovery and hit restore. Once it finished restoring and my phone reboots it goes through the samsung logo but on the boot animation it just stays.. like the verizon logo goes on forever and forever.. then the screen goes black.. I don't know what happened.. Is there anything I did wrong? Can I fix this to recover my stuff back? :/
What rom where you on prior to theme? Might just have to reflash the same apks that were in theme.

Assuming you wee on a deodexed rom that can be flashed in cwm, flash it again, and you'll be fine. You don't need to wipe data, just dalvik. Then restore your nandroid, if you want. But, unless you've done debloating, it won't be necessary. The only thing a nandroid would do, in that instance is put you back into your debloated state, with out having to go through and do it again.
