Try to format system then flash custom rom.
If not, flash stock images.

May be a kernel problem.
Get correct kernel and flash it.
or
Get stock image and flash it from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Seems a kernel problem to me rather than a ROM problem. Try flashing another kernel like Franco or Fancy, and then dirty flash your current ROM over it. And ya, don't forget to wipe dalvik cache!!
Happened to me a long while ago and above method solved it for me.

Huh? If you flash a ROM after a custom kernel, the ROM kernel will overwrite the custom kernel.. What's the point?
OP, it's probably data corruption OR messed up permissions. first option is fixing permissions in your custom recovery. Reboot. If that doesn't boot fully, format userdata or reflash stock through fastboot.

I'm so sorry, made a typo there. Here I would like to clarify to OP that first dirty flash the ROM so that any files modified by your previous faulty kernel would be changed and than flash a new kernel over it!!
Again sorry for my previous misleading post. I apologize for that.

Paste the exact fastboot commands you're using. I'm not helping a user that uses a toolkit to interact with his device, as I don't know where is it failing.

I installed CM yesterday, it boots but I can't stay with the screen on, if I use it for 3 minutes on my phone reboot. Tonight I will do everything again with the ToolKit, back to stock again but now cleaning all the data and I will relock the bootloader :/ That's really sad.

Recovery mode

Hi GN users -
Rooted my phone this evening and all (I thought) was going well. I've been trying to do a backup via rom manager but when the phone reboots i get the android with a red exclamation point. This happens when trying to get to recovery mode using ROM manager or just using the volume buttons. Can't get a clean back up.
Used the following files:
recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-toroplus.img
Superuser-3.0.7.efghi-signed
Should I have used CWM-SuperSU-v0.87?
If i can access the boot loader can I go ahead and flash with CWM?
Thanks
Denver

So the problem is that you flashed custom recovery and when you reboot it reverts to stock recovery? If so it's because you're on the stock ROM and it's got a script that restores stock recovery upon reboot. You can either install a custom ROM or do this:
juliano_q said:
-remount /system in read/write mode (use something like the Root Explorer app or ES File Explorer; both have root modes (check the app's settings) for remounting /system as writable)
-rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
(note: you could delete it, but renaming is much safer since its easily reversible)
yes, it is easier to use a script, but in my opinion it is much better to know what is going on behind it.

And I flashed the zips he posted when I rooted. I trust that Bigrushdog does know what he's doing but that zip seems to have a lot of things in there that he may or may not need. Like, why does it contain a boot.img? He only needs the SU binary to obtain root. His problem must be that he's rebooting. He should fastboot flash recovery, then fastboot reboot recovery and then flash the SU zip from there. And if he wants to stay on the stock ROM he should follow the instructions I posted. I'm not saying you're *wrong* but I am saying that I'm more right
EDIT: Rereading his post I'm pretty sure he does have root already, his problem is just that recovery isn't sticking which is a known issue with a known solution as I posted previously. Its the exact same thing on the Nexus S.
If anything we are equally correct and my method is much simpler. And yes the boot.img is required this is the stock kernel image without the recovery.sh that runs on the stock kernel. This will keep him from having to delete it manually. I know this because the same method was needed for my epic. You have to flash a tweaked stock kernel without the recovery.sh then flash the recovery. Then everything will stick. His issue is he didn't flash the tweaked kernel and upon booting the stock kernel deleted his custom recovery.

I downloaded a flashable zip of dsp manager, can I rename to update.zip and flash through stock recovery?
currently I am running (sprint) stock jelly bean rom JRO03U FH05 rooted (only rooted to flash dsp through cwm) and Ive been noticing data drops for long periods and want to unroot incase I need to go to the store but I want to keep dsp manager and any unroot method I see will wipe it out.
edit: ive found that when I have a lengthy data drop toggling wifi on and off re-establishes the 3g connection. Anyone think they know what my problem is?

Stock recovery cannot flash, you need a custom one for that.
As for your data drops: have you tried verifying your APN settings? Tried a different radio?

ive tried different roms, odining to stock, different radios, and different kernels. are the apns just like your "mobile network type",ip address, MEID, etc? thanks for the response.
Edit: So what you say about the recovery means I cant have dsp manager without being rooted? Or can I flash cwm or twrp by just changing the recovery files and flashing a recovery img without root?
Couldn't you just turn on USB debugging, connect to your PC, "fastboot boot (somecustomrecovery).IMG", and use it to flash the dspmanager.zip?
BTW, to unroot, all you have to do is delete "su" and "supersu.apk" (or "superuser.apk" if you're using that).

Yes you can, if a flashable zip of DSP manager exists (I'm not sure). Just boot or flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP indeed), and use it to flash the DSP manager zip.

just one thing: you didnt need to flash cwm, just boot it:

this way you keep whatever recovery is installed, allows you to try out stuff, without really flashing them.

read the link that was posted to you by 3rdstring
You have a couple options here. Two that pop into my head immediately are download a custom ROM make sure it is for whatever device you have I.e. maguro, toro, toroplus. Boot into recovery and follow the directions in the ROM thread to install. Or download the stock images for your device and boot into bootloader and fastboot flash those. There are guides everywhere to do this.
Edit: forgot to mention that in recovery if going the ROM route you need to get that ROM. zip onto your SD card. Do it by mounting SD card in storage and adb push the zip to /sdcard.

Made flashable though Dsixda's toolkit, Thanks to dsixda for that toolkit!
I can't assure that this works on your Nexus, I ahve tested .zip files myself and works well on my Nexus!
If YOU get BOOTLOOP:
Flash another ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash this ROM!
Flash it at your own risk!
This isn't so good flashable.zip so you may end up to boot loop!
Use Fastboot to fix or any other fixing method!

Ohhh yes...downloading now, good job
Initial Review/Impressions:
Install went as smooth as any other flash install. It looks basically the same but the screen transitions are really smooth (note that I have not installed any apps yet, will update when I do). The first major difference you see is with the camera, the interface has been changed a bit and it does look cleaner, all the usual settings are there i.e. Photosphere etc.
I haven't noticed anything else at a first glance but I will keep on updating as I go along and I will also do a proper battery test.
The usual array of Google apps are pre-installed, although now Google Keep is also added, default browser is the regular android browser though, not Chrome. The usual wallpapers and live wallpapers are present, nothing new here either.
Thanks for making this available so quickly

No, only risk is that IF something goes wrong during flash you can say bye to your Device :good: I've done this MANY times and never had problems, so... good luck to you (and me, since I'm doing it right now)
Follow the steps to install directly from the Factory Images without loosing any of your data on the SD-Card.

What recovery and verision of it are you using? for 4.3+ roms you need CWM 6.0.3.7+ or TWRP 2.6.1.0
I´m also having this problem. I can't flash any ROM. I went back to stock and tried again with those versions of recovery but nothing.

Sorry for late reply, format both your card before installing and just put flashable file on you card I use twrp 2.6.0.0 and its working fine and yeah I use infamous wiping data and wiping cache script also while flsing the ROM.

Dont worry i've been using my phone with official 4.1.2 for the moment haha, i want to install the United Basics Rom 4.4 and i found the twrp 2.6.1.0 can i use that? or i need 2.6.0.0?
It looks like according to the author of United Basics ROM, he's running 2.6.3.1, at least that's what his signature says.
DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
ROM: United Basics v4.0
RECOVERY: TWRP 2.6.3.1
