Hi,

I tried to nandroid my phone and bricked it in the process (phone won't go into bootloader) after jtag boot loader now work. I went to tmobile us and download the update, apply the update got the congratulation screen the phone reboot but it just stay at "stick together" screen.

Please advise

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Boot into bootloader and make sure you have SPL or HSPL 3.03 as the 3.14 ROMs have to ha e this SPL version. You may even have SPLITS 3.10.0000 wich is good too. If you don't have this SPLITS or HSPL then change toit by using HSPL 4 and then reflash the ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truluvnvend:
thank you for your reply, i did what you suggested the phone reboot to the stick together screen and on the bottom right corner it display some text. I guess it radio and fw version ? then it load the wimo screen (with orange background) then reboot to "stick together" been at it for about 10 minutes now :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry about the lag in responding but try this. Run a Task 29 wich will wipe the current ROM from your phone and reformat the nand chip at the same time. Then reflash the stock 3.14 ROM either by computer and USB cable or SD card, I suggest SD card as this will allow the ROM to flash SPL, Radio, and the ROM. This means you will have a completely stock phone again and then you can start from scratch to flash Andriod to your phone. Sometimes this is what is needed to be done.Go to the link below to learn how to flash via SD card.

[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Bye bye unlimited, Hello Big Red? :( ahhh CDMA

AT&T Inc. (T: News ) said it has agreed to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom AG in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at about $39 billion. The transaction is expected to close in about 12 months, subject to regulatory approvals, a reverse breakup fee in certain circumstances, and other customary regulatory and other closing conditions.

Hopefully this gets disapproved?

We should totally start a petition or twitter trend topic on this and voice our opinions on AT&T buying out T-Mobile USA.

I've been a loyal tmobile customer for 8 years and have no experience with at&t personally. I stayed with tmobile because of their affordable plans and world class customer service. I have no idea what this merger will add or take away but what I do know is the only thing constant is change.
[Nexus S General] Five0nIt:
I don't know what to think of this. Anyone think Verizon will try and buy Sprint?
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
T-Mobile is still by itself. I'm at least hoping that if it gets approved, At&t will keep T-Mobile separate and not merge it. Like how Virgin Mobile bought Helio, but still kept it separate.
[Nexus S General] apreichner:
They won't change your plans if they are grandfathered in. Similar to how some iPhone users still have unlimited data.

But yeah I'm disappointed.

[Nexus S General] Nomedias:
dejavu all over again

I was a Cingular customer since 2000, then AT&T bought them, service went down from there. After a couple contracts with AT&T, got sick of it and switched to T-Mobile. I've been happy ever since.

That said, as I understand things, grandfathered plans will not go away unless you make changes to your service (i.e. make a new contract). This is the case for my AT&T friends with "unlimited" plans.

This has me bummed out. I REALLY don't want to switch to a non-SIM using carrier. I keep a backup phone for when I camp or otherwise am worried about damaging/losing my Nexus S.

As for petition ideas, I don't really think that would make any real difference. However, there is the fact that it still needs regulatory approval. I wonder if there is an opportunity here for consumer advocacy groups to chime in on the deal before it is done. After this the only significant US competition left is Verizon and Sprint, and I've read of the possibility of Verizon buying Sprint. Not in the consumer interest if you ask me.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Or it gives MetroPCS a chance to shine? haha. their phones don't really appeal to me. It'd be sweet if T-Mobile USA was sold to Google :|

[Nexus S General] sarge363:
How exactly will this merger affect 3g/4g coverage? I live in a Edge only area but AT&T customers in my area have 3g. Will I be able to get 3g or will I be SOL?

If I do all I need is for the Netflix app for Android to come out and I'm set. Seriously thinking of getting an IPhone 5 if I don't have 3g and Netflix soon.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Your T-Mo phone still won't support the AT&T 3G frequencies, so no change there. The merger will also not be complete for a year. I would expect this to benefit more for the LTE rollout than existing improvements in 3G coverage.
[Nexus S General] sarge363:
Damn it!!! This blows. Oh well Iphone 5 it is then. Ill be keeping my Nexus S though, to fulfill my flashing needs.....
[Nexus S General] gratti:
This sucks even for ppl overseas who like to travel to US to get the latest and greatest Android phones. T-Mobile uses the same 3g freq. than my cellphone operator here in Brazil (2100 Hz), in contrast with ATT that uses (1900 Hz).

So for now on I guess I'll have to get my phones in London! So God save the Queen and O2!

Well.. technically I'm not an overseas since we are still in the same god damn continent, get my point. So I'm hoping it will get rejected by FCC... and btw ain't that some kinda a monopoly since ATT will be the ONLY GSM carrier in the whole country? Down here we have 4 GSM carries competing and BR sucks. At least they keep each other on their toes.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I wonder what this means for Tmobile employees...
[Nexus S General] Nexus MC:
For those that are on the Even More Plus Plan, will the "no contract" just terminate? I don't feel AT&T will carry over/grandfather these plans.

And basically our Nexus S will be unsupported in terms of 3G coverage?

In essence its a good thing to be off contract since we can just jump to Sprint ti get the Nexus S, but it kind of bites for some who paid for full retail a few months ago.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I'm interested in this too. I'm on a plain voice contract (part of a family plan) that ends in June, and I paid the full $529+tax for the NS, so that I wasn't tied to any new contract. So I'm running off a no-contract unlimited data plan ($30/month). I got a bad feeling it'll go by the wayside when the switch occurs.

And I'm sure tethering will be a big no-no. Although good luck stopping Android users from doing such things. We have so many resources and different ways to accomplish this, I don't think AT&T could do anything about it.

Except for the price, Verizon's LTE service is looking damn good now.
[Nexus S General] newspeak:
so looks like they are re-purposing the 1700mhz band right away so within a year our nexus s won't have 3g in the US...if ATT carries the nexus they can keep me as a customer as i don't want to replace this phone with anything else

i just signed a contract with tmo for another 2 years to get the nexus but i know i can be let out of the contract due to the merger...the ironic part is that the vibrant i left had at least one att 3g band so i could of rode it out with that phone

[Nexus S General] Longcat14:
Soon as my T-Mobile phone sells, HELLO VERIZON AND HTC THUNDERBOLT!
[Nexus S General] ikarma:
Wow, that's bad news. It says that at&t factored in the cost of replacement phones into the acquisition. Does that mean they are gonna give us new phones? I was planning on getting the LG G2X. Since that is a 4g phone will that be affected?
[Nexus S General] jm9843:
No reason to panic. If the buyout is approved, it still won't be for at least 12 months. You should just ride out those 12 months with your Nexus S on your cheap T-Mobile plan. The Nexus S still pays for itself under the worst case scenario.

Then after the 12 months you'll probably be able to jump to a new quad-core Nexus device (yet to be named) on Sprint.
[Nexus S General] edkim4583:
Should we hurry and sell our Nexuses now that the end is near?

If ATT will cannibalize our spectrum, and approval of merger can go as soon as 6 months according to CNBC, isnt it wise for us to try and sell our phones before they turn into motorola razrs capable of only GPRS?

Great country we live in where we promote monopolies.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i will not be not be surprised at all, the last time they ATE! Cingular like a cookie, there was nothing left shortly after the take over
[Nexus S General] Nexus MC:
No panic here, just trying to make sense of how AT&T will handle the No-Contract plans out there. They did specify that to those who are under cotnract that they will be honored. As for the former, they will still have to "Think and look closely" before making a decision.

Yes I am planning to ride out the 12 months or whenever the full acquisition takes place. Like I said, the good thing about the no-contract, well we can just tell them we are going elsewhere.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I'm mostly curious to see how the pricing plays out. If AT&T jacks prices then once my contract is up I'll be moving to Verizon but if they leave T-Mobile as a subsidiary company but share radio frequencies I think that could work well for us as consumers.
[Nexus S General] crzymo:
Well I guess I got my answer on whether T-Mo well be adding 3g to my area. Right now it stops 1/2 mile outside the city limits in a 7 to 5 position on a clock around the city. Population of 300 gets 3g but 50K gets edge.
[Nexus S General] sano614:
"According to AT&T, T-Mobile subscribers with 3G phones will need to replace them if the merger goes through.

If regulators approve the deal, the merger would close about a year from now."

So much for having my Nexus S for a while now...
[Nexus S General] Kah-Neth:
My question is what about those of us that have the unsubsidized nexus s?

I am out 500 bucks now?
[Nexus S General] sano614:
I guess so! I also bought my Nexus S unsubsidized 2 weeks ago... It's awesome that the $575.50 that I spent for the phone will only last me 12-14 months.
[Nexus S General] Keith02:
do you have a source for this? I cant imagine ATT essentially making all of our T-Mo phones useless.
[Nexus S General] dls5375:
It won't be useless, just no 3g....phone calls and edge will work. I guess for some that's about the same as useless. Edge speeds can test your patience.
[Nexus S General] Kah-Neth:
edge only is useless. If I did not want 3g, I would have gotten a clamshell phone and an mp3player
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
I think your best bet would be to return the phone, then find a cheap used Nexus One on ebay or elsewhere. You'd still have a fast phone with CM7/2.3.3 support.

I really hope Google does the smart thing and releases the next generation of Nexus on Verizon's LTE network. It'd make a lot of people happy.
[Nexus S General] edkim4583:
Per Tmonews:

The merger is expected to close sometime within 12-18 months and that’s when the real work begins. It could take years before the time comes where T-Mobile customers will be in a situation where they will be forced to make the switch. It’s not going to happen overnight and it’s likely if you were to sign a 2 year contract tomorrow, you’d run it out before you’d have to give it up.

So what will AT&T do for customers who are forced to give up their equipment? AT&T has mentioned that the cost of issuing replacement phones was built into the cost of the deal itself. Will they be giving away free phones that are of equal or better value? There is no way to answer that question yet but AT&T would have a riot on their hands if they just expected all T-Mobile customers to up and pay for new equipment.

Should you buy a new T-Mobile phone right now? Absolutely. There is no reason to suspect you’d have to get rid of the phone in any time frame that wouldn’t’ allow you to get your money’s worth. Aside from that, this deal is going to drive the FCC and DOJ crazy and until it’s approved, we can’t act as though it’s already happened.

After reading this, it makes sense. I think we nexus s owners will be ok. A newer nexus will be out before that im sure....
[Nexus S General] sano614:
Just google "According to AT&T, T-Mobile subscribers with 3G phones will need to replace them if the merger goes through." and you will see plenty of news articles quoting this.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
If there was anything that would doom sales of tmo 3g phones this would be it. Even if this deal gets smashed by the ftc, imagine the lost sales. Of course you also have lots of people who will ignorantly be duped into buying one anyway...
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
Good. That'll give everyone who is on a contract currently plenty of time to get off contract and on a pay-as-you-go plan. Then when the switch occurs and they kill the Tmo 3g band (ie replace it with LTE), everyone will leave AT&T and head to verizon and sprint. It'd be hilarious to see them lose half their customer base during the first week or month.

AT&T never learned from their mistakes in the 70s. They've slowly been regaining momentum. I guess so they can get right back to where they were back in the day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_System_divestiture

And it COULD take years. That's the key word. COULD. I wouldn't be surprised if it started happening days after the merger has final approval. And some of us keep our phones for more than a year. I'd give this Nexus S a good 2.5yrs before switching. It just pisses me off to think that this $530 (realistically $580 after tax) won't even have 3g capabilities if I ever needed it down the road.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
If the merger goes through, AT&T will have the ability to cut off T-Mobile 3G, but I seriously doubt they will, at least not soon thereafter. From what I understand, a big part of the reason they want T-Mobile is that they want their spectrum, so it's unlikely that Band IV will just go away. Even if they do repurpose it, I don't see much advantage in their shutting the network down before they conduct the work necessary to do so.

Bear in mind, with currently deployed technology, changing how and what a cell tower transmits isn't as easy as flipping a switch; the base station hardware needs to be changed. So even if AT&T effectively cannibalizes T-Mobile's tower sites- which is far from certain, especially in the near term- it will be a process that requires extensive logistical planning and a significant period of construction. In short, it's likely that AT&T will leave T-Mobile's infrastructure intact for the immediate future once their acquisition is concluded, and even if they don't, it's not as if your service will vanish the day of the merger; I expect it will be months thereafter before 3G on T-Mobile phones stops working, even if AT&T makes it a priority.

That's my take on it. I don't think there's any good reason to fear that the Nexus S will stop working on 3G before pretty much everyone here wants to get a new phone anyway. As for the merger in general- if it happens- I agree that it's doubtful to be a net benefit for consumers, but I'm also far from convinced it will be the horrible disaster for anyone coming from T-Mobile that some here seem to believe.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
The party that really sucks is I just bought this (maybe I'm still in regret period) and just bought a square trade incase I drop it in water (happened already once before, right into the cat water dish!). Now potentially only good on 3g another year. Not to mention I have an n1 and a g2.. So much for selling them...
[Nexus S General] seriouslyjeff:
My nexus s is on att and I still have my unlimited data plan and I use it to tether my PC. I use 5-9 gigs of data a month so All of you worried about a 2gig cap chill out. Att can't change your plan unless you opt to have it changed. Rate plans and all. All of the alltel contracts we just took over kept their same exact plans. You'll be fine. All this means is a bigger better network for all customers of BOTH companies. There's no way Tmobile customers will get worse coverage with more towers
[Nexus S General] Kah-Neth:
It not worse coverage we care about, it is worse service. Who likes to pay more money and get less for it.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
My understanding is that if they change your rates/plan and you are still under contract you have the right to end your contract prematurely without an ETF. The problem is that once you sign a new contract with them, which again this is my understanding so I could very well be wrong, you are then subject to the new rules meaning that they can cut your data cap. As for the tethering...unless you're paying for it AT&T is getting a little unhappy about people using it.
