Hello all,
I have accidently flashed my nexus s with a 4G rom... I know stupid me.
Now I cannot get service and baseband .
I cannot seem to fix it. Does somebody have a tip? I hope so cuz I dont wanna be buying a new phoney.
Thnx in advance!
Just restore a backup on the recovery. Or, if you didn't do a backup (please tell me i'm wrong), download the right ROM, copy it to your phone, WIPE everything and flash it
Well I tried that but the backup gives an MD5 error . And I cannot find a clean rom I do need now. All the ones I tried gave an error in CWM error 7 or something.

I see. Well, your backup is corrupted, we can't do anything for it.
But, go to your Nexus S section in XDA, download one and see if the MD5 match. Then if it's ok, try to flash it : )
FYI, i don't have a nexus, so, i'm not a professional of it but... a rom for a 4G phone if you only have a 3G phone will boot up normally but give problem with GSM and data connection. So that's weird.
Try again with a ROM that you download now and match the MD5. And then, if error still here, we must a Nexus S owner to help you
I will try so when i get back from work. I really hope I can get it to work. The phone boots normally but wont ask for my pin and that stuff. How do I check the MD5 if I may ask?

You put the rom in, it shows the MD5. Then look on the topic where you downloaded the ROM and see if it's the same. If md5 is not written in the topic, ask for it
Also I forgot to mention that when I tried to flash to a NS mod i got an error 7 or something in CWM
I have done the latest clockwordk mod and odin 1.85, but im still getting the sign error when i tried to install a new rom...what am i doing wrong? i have installed roms on other phones , i dont know why i cant seem to get this one going? i would really appreciate it, thanks
Is it just one ROM you've tried or every ROM? Try re-downloading the ROM it may be corrupted.
all roms, like as soon as i go into recovery it says it cant verify some sort signature, and then it lets me use recovery, but cant install anything....and i have followed all directions , i dont know what im doing wrong...couldnt do it with cm7 or mui..
sounds like you need to start over:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
Ok so i noticed something. In recovery my version is 5.0.3. I then intall mui rom go into bootloop but my recovery now says 5.06

it is not corruption. boot into recovery mode, choose install from SD card and then select toggle signature verification. Now try flashing your ROM.
nope that doesnt work either i download cm7 and i did the toggle signature thing and still get the same error, e:signature verification, i was able to install MUI, but i go into bootloop...and my recovery version changes from 5.0.3 to 5.06 after installing mui...idk this is so weird i have flahsed lots of different roms before but i cant seem to do it with this phone..
i already figured it out, i installed other roms, just not cm7 but ill figure that out later..thanks

ok, what was the issue: PEBKAC, config or corruption?
So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked and that your flashing gsm ROMS meant for the dream not the cdma version of the g1.

In order to flash custom ROMS your devices bootloader must be unlocked. By default the g1 ships with a locked bootloader that prevents you from installing custom ROMS. You can go to htcdev.com/bootloader select HTC dream from the device list and follow the instructions. Let me know if you have any more questions.

But I dont think that thats the problem, becouse I already have instaled ROM for two times
O and how can I unlock the bootloader when in instuction says to do few steps on phone, but i cant turn on my phone! ;(

I would also suggest try reformatting your SD card, then putting a ROM on the SD card that you know is compatible with your phone and has worked for you in the past and flash that.
Didnt work
So, will anybody help me?
At this stage I would recommend that you try and re flash your device back to stock, by installing the stock ROM that it shipped with from the factory. By doing this you will have a clean slate to start from and can then try to root the device and flash a custom ROM after that.

Follow this guide found here, start with the section: Downgrading the Firmware. After you have done that move onto the section Rooting the HTC Dream, then once you have completed that section move onto Installing a Custom Recovery Image and Amon_Ra's Recovery: Recommended. After you complete these steps you will be ready to flash a custom ROM, here is how to flash Cyanogenmod 6 for the HTC Deam. Let me know if you still have questions .

The thing with recovery mod is weird.Sometimes I can,sometimes I cannot.But when I can,it can only be a previous version of 6.0.1.2 flashed with odin and not 6.0.1.2.Right now I m trying and I cant get into recovery.I searched the official jellybean 4.1.1 for my country (greece) but cant find it and dont know what to do.:/
hi!
perhaps you had a bad download of V17.1? you may try checking the md5 sum....
i suggest you do a clean install, flash the superwipe for arhd which is found in the OP, and then flash arhd again

I didnt download the file again because I checked it immediately after I downloaded it.When I managed to boot into recovery mod(the older version)I flashed the rom again and my phone booted normally.I think that the problem-my fault-was that I flashed 15.2 over 17.1.I dont know if the problem caused by the older rom or the older kernel or the tweaks but it belongs to past right now.After that,I updated to the latest version of cwm via ROM Manager from PlayStore.
