After I was presented with a system update about a week ago my nexus s entered a boot loop, not knowing why I tried to restart it a couple of types via removing the battery. That didn't work so I entered the Fastboot mode and tried to go into recovery but I couldn't do that because I was then presented with a exclamation mark like picture on my Nexus S, My phone was rooted before because I wanted to install Miui rom, then when I went back to stock rom and everything seemed to work fine, but when I tried to change my rom again it said I wasn't rooted but on my bootsceen it says I'm unlocked. I also did a permission test, from here I don't know what to do if anyone could help me I'd be very grateful.

Hi all,
So coming from a Samsung craptivate, Im having a little bit of trouble flashing CM 6.1.1 on my new N1
so far starting from stock I have
- Unlocked the bootloader
- used fastboot to flash the latest clockworkmod
now I am trying to boot into recovery to flash the CM zip on my SD and I keep getting to a screen with the android guy and an exclamation point, and have to do a battery pull to reboot, I have tried using adb and 3 button combo to get into clockwork,
so, what idiotic thing am I doing wrong?
You're booting in between installing the recovery and booting into recovery.
There are two files that restore the stock recovery upon a system boot (which is what you are seeing). If you go straight to recovery after flashing, the stock recovery won't be restored, then you can install a custom ROM.
The two files are missing from custom ROMs, so you won't have this problem again.
Typically, people remove these files once they have root access, but since you don't have root yet, that isn't an option...

thanks very much for your help, got it working
Reading the Wiki guides for installing recovery should have solved your question before you wrote it.
Okay well i searched for a while on the forum and on google and could not find a answer to my problem. I recently got a new nexus 4 and decided to root it and put the rom liquidsmooth. Everything was working fine, i did the backups and the rooting went fine. I am using Team Win's recovery menu. So i preformed a factory reset as it said in the instructions to install LiquidSmooth, i have gapps and evrything downloaded and ready to flash but after flashing liquid smooth and Gaaps failing to flash i preformed another reset so i would not get stuck in a boot loop. i rebooted the phone and liquidsmooth was not installed, i then tried to boot the android menu and go to down to recovery mode but every time i go to it i get a nexus icon and a lock pad and its stuck and does not load.
I bought the nexus4 from the playstore last week, 16gb model and my carrier is wind mobile.
Try reflashing twrp

Sounds like you wiped the SD card. Did you format system or data??
I unlocked my bootloader awhile back when the exploit first came to light and have been enjoying it mostly problem free since.
I've been using CWM with CM10.1 for the most part but the issues I was having with CM were finally getting to me so I thought I'd just try a debloated stock ROM, and thought it was a good time to try out TWRP while I was clearing everything out.
So I loaded up Matt's tool and flashed the stock ROM back (because for some reason my computer doesn't like to recognize CM over USB), no problems there. At the suggestion of the tool I also flashed the stock recovery (since I intended to flash TWRP I figured it was a good idea). Here's where my problem lies now: The phone boots fine back into stock ROM and I can get back into fastboot no problem but if I try to get into recovery (after flashing stock, CM or TWRP) I only get the opened up Android with the red triangle/exclamation.
Is there some step I need to take that I'm not?
I boot into fastboot and flash recovery (stock). Boot normally wait a couple min (skip setting up accounts, etc) then flash the custom recovery but I seem to end up back at the broken android every time.
EDIT: I might just be an idiot. I completely forgot to root the stock ROM before trying to put the custom recovery back.
Broken android is stock recovery...

hello guys
last night i tried to encrypt my op2 just to see what it is like
unfortunately i found that it is impossible to undo the encryption
firstly i thought thats still ok
however AFTER i tried to flash cm rom ,WHEN it reboot it says that i need to input for pw to boot for device
then i input my pw and it says
"Decryption failed
your password is correct, but your data is damaged"(something like that, it was chinese)
when i flashed back to stock os, there is no problem
then i tried to found ways to get rid of encryption but failed
i also found that i couldn't flash back to stock recovery(using twrp)
and most method seems needed stock recovery to work
i tried both fastboot and flashify but although it shows that my phone download the stock recovery okay
it couldn't boot into the stock recovery
just shows 1+ logo then turn back off and reboot normally
guys plx help i really dont know what to do
Use restore to stock from general thread. It should fix.
Flash OxygenOS then take back up to PC then do that restore to stock.

I tried to reboot to recovery didn't work, it shows black screen and remains stuck their, I tried to re-root my phone using oneplus2 toolbox, after running the bootloader unlock, my phone is not turning on, only going to FAstboot mode. I cannot root it even though oem unlock and usb debug was allowed, now I am stuck its not letting flash recovery or rom.
please help
Don't need to root again (root is for the ROM) your ROM or partitions are messed up, flash fastboot image without data partition using naman's ubrick guide
