How could be l4android booted on the Nexus S?
I do not have particular experience with the Nexus S in this regard. Typically, when doing such work, a working UART and/or JTAG interface is essential to have. To get access to those, given they are accessible on the PCB, one has to solder some cables or do similar things. The UART can also be exposed via the USB port, typically using some special cable which triggers this mode. With a working JTAG connection and setup one can load the image into the device and also debug it from there including getting UART-like messages. Without JTAG, loading the image might be tricky, and cumbersome. Flashing via Download/Recovery mode is one option, or having a boot loader on the device that can do USB (such as u-boot). Now when there's code running, some device-specific drivers are necessary, such as input (buttons, touch) and display. You're lucky when the boot loader left the display and framebuffer logic intact so you can just use it already properly configured. If not, there's some more work to do. And then it goes on...
Using a dev-board is much more convenient here as it has far better accessibility to debugging connectors and very likely a usable boot-loader with regard to loading images (network, USB).
