Use a normal formatted SD card, put a clean ROM install on it, factory reset again, flash the ROM after it, and it'll boot.

how do i do that? my phone is s off and do i have to get a new sd card? and thank you for helping
Reformat your SD card in Windows.
Download a ROM of choice, preferrably stable Gingerbread ROM, copy to the formatted SD card.
Load the card into the phone, wipe data, and then flash it.

I've been flashing the nightly build on my phone. The last time my phone was working was build 9. I than flashed build 12 and my phone got stuck on MT4G screen. I went ahead and did another full wipe but same result. Now I tried to flash build 9 and I still get same result. In a panic, I formated everything in advanced option and did another flash. Still nothing. I than followed this post in doing a wipe:
remove SD, power down device, SD in card reader, and delete all android created data (android_system; android; dcim->.thumbnails; tmp; data)
put sd back in phone.
boot into recovery
format boot
format system
{back to main menu} - factory reset
then mounts/storage, mount /system, mount /data
install .zip from SD card -> choose (CM-NIGHTLY-X)
then mounts/storage, remount /system (and /data if its not mounted)
install .zip from SD card -> choose (GAPPS)
reboot
win
So now my phone just gets stuck at the MT4G load screen. I can get into clockwork fine and flash but it just no longer will boot. Please help.
if you can boot into clockwork i dont think your bricked....try pushing the 2.x version to your phone and flash a 2.2 rom just to get to a working state.
then try again ?
I literally was going to have a heart attack. I was able to boot into the Nightly build. I guess theres something wrong with my sd card. I figured I try my 16gb card out of HD2 and it worked like a charm. Thanks for responding, I appreciate it.
Theres definitely something wrong with my 32gb Sandisk card. I formatted it with SDformatter to see if I can get it flash my phone and boot properly. Well, back to being stuck at MT4G load screen. The card works fine except for this problem. Now I just formatted 20gbs of music for nothing. FML!
haha no problem, try using HP USb storage format tool
I've done a bit of searching for my answer, however, am not able to find the answer.
I am having a problem running a restore in AD Recovery in the Magldr (v1.13).
Let me explain the situation:
I wasn't able to get App2SDPro to carry over apps to my SD card. I was informed it was because it was that I did not have an EXT2 or EXT3 partition on my SD.
I did that and then my SD was erased, but luckily I make regular backups of my SD card.
So I put all the information back on my SD card. I then realized that my ROM was erased as well.
So I tried running the backup I made from the recovery and got the error mentioned in the title.
I then tried to reload a ROM that I have on my SD at all times and then tried to do an advanced restore of the data and system and cache while leaving the boot but nothing works..
Am I destined to start from scratch, lol? (I had 140 apps installed)(and I'll be using a different form of backup next time, lol)
i have the same problem . while i was recovering from nand backup i have this notification 'Nand Kernel Open Failed'
Just flash again the kernel of your rom or the rom without wipe
you have to flash your rom om the kernel again and hopefully the problem will be solved
CLIO94 sorry i just see your reply
I formatted my sd card in CWR! I then tried to load a new rom. Now I'm stuck in bootscreen and I forgot to save a backup to my computer! Not sure what to do.

Wipe cache and dalvik-cache from the recovery. Then try to boot. If that doesn't work you need to fully wipe sadly.

You need hold down the "volume up" button and the power button. that will put you in boot mode. then scroll to recovery with volume button and press power. now you can choose "mount and storage" then mount usb. now you can put any flashable rom on your phone. then flash.
If everything fails just go to CWM and wipe everything (/system, /data, /cache, /boot) and flash your favorite ROM or go stock.
Cool

Yeah I tried loading a couple different roms but it always gets stuck on the bootscreen. I believe it's because I completely wiped out my sd card through CWM.

Nah. If you really only wiped SD card in cwm your still good to go w/o problems.
Download a ROM for your device (Nexus S or Nexus S 4G) (HINT: To prevent problems with boot looping w/o formating everything download the ROM you were using at the time you wiped the sdcard.)
Connect phone with your pc/lappy.
Go to cwm recovery
Go to Wipe
Hit wipe dalvik-cache
Hit Go back once
Go to mounts & storage
Hit format /cache
*** Steps between the ***s ONLY if you're still bootlooping after installing new ROM (so leave them out the first time, if it fails come back and start at the steps above but include those 3 below this time)
format /system
format /data
format /boot
***
Hit mount /sdcard (might not be necessary if it already says unmount /sdcard)
Hit mount USB storage
Check your pc/lappy, the sd card should pop up now (if not, you're missing drivers, get them from the tutorials on how to flash ROMs around here)
Copy the ROM you downloaded previously to the sd card folder that popped up
Once finished copying hit Unmount on hte phone
Hit Go back once
Hit install zip from sdcard
Hit choose zip from sdcard
Navigate to and then hit the ROM you downloaded
Select Yes
Wait for the process to finish
Hit reboot system now
Yeah it's working! I guess the key was to completely wipe everything. Thanks!
I searched but could not find the answer. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I am a semi-noob.
I've been trying to find the right rom for me and I installed cm10 with no problems.
After that, I tried cleanrom v1.1, but it would not boot.
Since then I cannot write or remove files from internal sdcard.
Can someone point me in the right direction to remedy this situation?
can you not remove from it when you are booted into the rom or when u r on PC ?
format it and do data reset, wipe cache in recovery, flash the rom afresh .

I was unable to remove files when booted into the rom. I did not try from PC.
Formatting the internal sdcard did the trick. I wasn't sure if that would be destructive.
Thanks for your help.
formatting storage solves 60 percent of most of our small time problems, even for symptoms like rebooting / freezing etc
but keep a back up
Hi,
After I install any rom and boot back into recovery, I keep getting asked for a TWRP password. I've never entered a password before, and when I hit cancel, it locks my internal sd card. I can't boot back into the rom, nor restore a nandroid from my ext sd card because it "can't mount /data." How can I get around this?

Are you formatting data as opposed to wiping data? I think that might be the culprit.

I initially formatted my internal sd card so I could free up some space... Now I see the only work around is to format data and reboot recovery for it to load up my nandroid. Everytime I restart the phone it boot loops and I have to go to recovery where it asks me for a password again. It's an ongoing cycle lol...
Try installing another recovery like cwm or ouhds (tar or tar.md5) via odin and if that doesn't work, ur gonna have to start from scratch man.

Another recovery did not help at all.. I might have to ODIN factory reset unless there is another method?
