SOLVED [Q] HELP I formatted my nexus s sd-card in cwm and now i cant reinstall rom

[Alicklee]

ok here the problem. I have a nexus s and I did wipe of my phone from cwm.
I wiped everything and even formatted everything.
I even went to the format:sd-card option and did that.
didnt think of having a rom on the card before I did the wipe. normally it just formats the file but puts storage space and right folders back in

what is happening now is when i turn on my phone it only comes up with the fastboot bootloader. I can get into cwm but that is about it. when I connect my phone to my computer. to try and access the storage drive. it only shows a blank removable drive(only when I am in cwm) when I am in the boot loader I cant access it. but eiher way i cant access the storage itself.

I have all the right drivers.
I can fastboot, the lastest cwm,( I even try to do a flash with a recovery cwm which was for a 16gb device but it didnt work.
but the only thing I cant do is access the storage itself or install any .zip file to the phone and re-flash my rom!

I have look high and low on google and all over the net and I have not found a solid solution. I have tried just about every thing I can with it


does anyone know or have any tips on fixing this.
is there any way for me to reformat my sd-card and put the files i need on it to install my rom again? or did i just turn my phone into paper weight?
as of now my phone is just a paperweight that charges and lights up.

any tips or help would be great.
Thank you in advance.

no it a nexus s it doesnt have one

 

[surdu_petru]

adb it's work or not ? but if fastboot work you can do almost all....

 

[evcz]

get into clockwork recovery -> mounts and storage -> mount usb storage

connect to the pc and past there the rom zip... then flash it

 

[surdu_petru]

if only fastboot work you can try to download system.img and boot.img for your phone and install with :
>fastboot flash boot boot.img
>fastboot flash system system.img

Attention (boot.img and system.img must be at the same rom) . Good luck!

I'm in the same situation, which version of CWM did you use?
Thank you.

 

[Alicklee]

For anyone else with the same problem just use adb to sent cwm 5.0.2.3 to the phone and that will fix it

Thanks for replying ...

Tried to install the USB drivers , ADB /Fastboot tools again after connecting my Nexus S to a computer .But now ran into another issue . Whenever i am in Bootloader i get the following : "Fastboot Mode - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG" .
However i am able to get into CWM .

when i run "ADB devices" command from computer i do not get any list of devices ! If i remove the battery and then put it again i get a device code i.e when i run ADB devices .

I just need something that will show my phone Memory on my PC so that i can dump the ROM there and then flash it .. I guess my phone is gone !!!

If you are able to get into cwm can you connect the phone and in cwm mount usb option while connected. You computer should have the drive come up. Let me know if that works

I did the same mistake as wiping the internal sd, i think its corrupted so even with any CWM version, already tried out like 4 of them, i cant seem to mount the /system or usb storage.

I cant even fastboot flash system or userdata, any solutions?

Guys, I just did this about 2 weeks ago. Use the Odin method to put a new from on there. Then you can totally unroot and put back to stock. Then reroot it if you want. I did this exactly and never had a problem again.
