Yesterday I was normally on the cm11 nightlies, and decided to go back to 4.2.2 stock tmobile, just to update to kk . I loaded my stock backup, and all went fine. It downloaded an update, did not say what just system update and after that it restarted to twrp recovery. Tried rebooting to system, but all it does is boot back to twrp. What I saw is that it reverted back from 2.6.4 to 2.6.3 version. Flashed the 2.6.4 version from my folder, and the same happens. Tried restoring my backups, taking long but to no avail. Right now I have a bootloop to twrp and don't know what to do. My computer doesn't even recognize phone. Not even usb otg shows up.

There are threads in this very section that will explain what you have to do. Note, never take an ota with a custom recovery!

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.

Flash clockwork recovery, through fast boot.
restore or flash new rom
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Alrighty, I flashed Clockwork recovery, now thats left is to flash another rom.
I was using Kangabean ROM found in the development section for a few days but was unhappy with my wifi and data connectivity and was unable to solve it so I figured id try a new rom and see what happened. Well I downloaded and tried flashing Super nexus 3.0.
I'm a telus I337M and i thought I could flash this rom even though its ATT because of this thread, I flashed my stock kernel and then the rom, but when I went to flash the rom it failed instantly. So I than rebooted my phone and it hung on the bootscreen. I than wipe/factory reset and re-flashed kangabean rom and KTs kernal because i knew it worked. Everything flashed, I wiped cache/delvik after install but when i went to reboot TWRP said root is not detected....swipe to install superSU, but no matter what I do my phone restarts and always gets stuck at the boot screen.
I have access to TWRP and Download mode so I am currently downloading the stock rom and kernal. I also have my stock nandroid backup before i originally rooted and flashed a custom rom. Whats my best course of action to take? Do I flash the stock rom through odin than factory reset in recovery?
Thanks for any and all help in advance. I'm pretty "green" when it comes to this stuff so any help is appreciated
I'd use the nadroid backup first that way you don't have to worry about loading a recovery to the s4 or wait to download the firmware. If that doesn't work Odin stock.

Just to update you guys in case anyone else has my issue in the future. I tried restoring my stock nandroid, however when I went into twrp and tried to recover it but was unable to because it showed my sd card as empty.....I'm assuming because I somehow lost root access.
Unable to flash my nandroid I downloaded the telus stock rom and flashed it via Odin. My phone is now functional again as we'll as re rooted. I restored my files via titanium backup but I noticed one big issue. My wifi doesn't work...I can access the Internet via my data plan but not wifi. Any idea as to how to fix this?
I also notice this telus stock rom has a lot more bloat than what my s4 originally had when purchased from the telus store. Not that that's as issue cuz I can disable it but I'm just curious as to why? On the notification bar there is also an N beside the wifi symbol with its own wifi looking symbol that was never there before.....what is this??
Guys I know there are a ton of threads with this problem but no matter what I try, i'm still stuck on a boot loop.
So basically I had PA Rom 3.99 RC2 on my nexus and everything was fine. I then tried to flash PA AOSP kit kat build
but my phone would not boot so I went with a factory image occam 4.3 Phone booted and all was good. I was liking the
stock experience and then about 4 days later after a reboot, phone got stuck on the boot animation X. It would not get out of it
so I decided to flash PA Rom 3.99 rc2 again via ADB push zip. factory reset, installed the rom and gapps, wiped caches and thought i was good to go. Well the phone again would not get past the boot animation of PA.
i then decided to go with the Factory image occam 4.3 via fastboot and installed it and everything. Again stuck on the X. So then I tried PSX rom 4.3 again via adb push, did my factory reset and flashed the rom and gapps and superSu. Also got stuck on the boot animation. Left it for over 2 hours bootlooping and nothing.
Going crazy I went and fastboot the 4.2.2 JDQ39 img and downgraded bootloader, baseband. Installed it and again, stuck on the X animation. just hangs there.
Any help? i don't know what else to try, currently using my HD2 and it is sooo slow :cyclops:
Make sure to use latest cwm recovery. Avoid using twrp recovery. Use the toolkit and flash stock image. It will wipe everything in the phone but it will fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion but still nothing. Updated CWMR to 6.0.4.3 and tried the 4.3 stock image. Still hangs on bootup. android file transfer recognizes the device is plugged in via usb but just gives me the error "could not connect to device"
Oh man I don't know what's wrong with my nexus

I'm having this same issue, and it happened just like you. I flashed CM 10.2 nightly 20131114 this morning and I tested it to make sure everything was working. I decided to reboot the phone, and after that I keep getting stuck at the boot animation no matter what I did. To no avail, I reflashed a working zip, restored a backup, restored another backup, flashed the 4.4 factory image (wiping the entire phone), the 4.3 factory image, and then I read that the 4.2 baseband can fix it, so I flashed the 4.2 factory image. That 4.2 image gets it to boot, but without baseband. Right now I'm trying different radios just to see if I can get service again. If it matters, I was running the hybrid 33/84 radio for T-Mobile's LTE when this happened. Very, very peculiar situation here. I've never had anything like this happen, and especially remain an issue after wiping the entire device. I'm hoping it's not a sudden hardware issue.

just re-flash 4.2, it'll work. I've been doing that since Monday. but I want kitkat too!!
my device is stuck on the boot animation too. is there a way to reinstall the default 4.3 recovery and just rerun the update or something basic like that? my device was almost at stock before running the update. the only two things: twrp and rooted via recovery. so i thought everything will work fine and now there is no backup...

Why?
Just fastboot flash all the image files (boot.img,recovery.img....) from the factory image.
Friend was messing with my vs980. i was on rooted 10b. the OTA came up for 11a and he clicked install now. so it rebooted to twrp. only thing is it will only boot to twrp. no download mode. restoring nandroid doesnt fix it. wiping and installing a rom doesn't get it to boot either. just boots to twrp. uhh...what do i do now?

Heres my situation. I have TWRP Custom Recovery installed on my rooted g2. Tonight my phone decided to automatically take the OTA update for sprint, and i was stock booting to twrp. I powered off the device and tried to boot it back up, but it went straight to twrp. SO i decided to restore a back up i had. Did that, after it was done, rebooted. and it still came back to twrp. IN a panic, i went to wipe, and did a factory reset. Which completely wiped everything, obviously, including my backups. So now im stuck with a phone booting into twrp and not being able to do anything. I just want stock firmware, no root and back to stock recovery. As you can tell, im pretty new to this.
Someone pleaseeee help me!!!
Try to download stock rom and put it in USB. In twrp flash the Rom via USB-otg. Or try this If you want to go back to stock Unrooted.

Ok ill try this, im downloading the files now. If this doesnt work, could i possibly try flashing another rom through twrp??
No, they will all fail. Never ever take otas when rooted. Once you have reverted to stock and rerooted then load custom rom or delete the update files so this never happens again

Nick, did you resolve this? I'm in the same boat, but by a different path.
I wanted to flash a zip, the cwm I had installed failed to flash it, so I decided to use flashify to flash Philz modded CWM, since then, I can only boot to recovery.
On hind-sight, there was an update threatening to install..
I can only boot into recovery, can't seem to get into download mode. Cant sideload, as ADB does not recognize.
Stock rooted D80010d on ATT D800

If you need ADB, you may have to change your driver to LGE single sooner adb device (device manager)
There was a third command added later in the thread.
