[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cap87:
Hi guys. Just bought my nexus s (i9023) recently and i decided it's the time to root it so i can try out some different roms and experiment with my phone a bit.

I already read and searched a lot before opening this thread, however there were some questions i couldn't find the answer for:

- Will i be able to restore the phone to its original factory state if i need to (unrooted)? I see there are lots of threads with stock roms for this phone, but i only found the radio (not sure what this means either) in a thread somewhere in the development section so i'm not sure i can. The reference i have in my phone is GRI40, what's the difference between this and the other versions i see out there?

- I see that rooting will wipe my phone. What's the best way to backup everything in my phone? There's a lot of talk about titanium backup, however in the market it says root is needed to use it.

- Is there any thread for beginners with everything i should know about android and its "structure"?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
All of the questions you asked can be found via Searching.

1. To restore back to stock, perform a nandroid restore. (Easy way is to make your own backup before you flash a new ROM). When you want to go back to stock, just restore back to that.

2. Titanium Backup (With Pro License.. "Pro" is a must). When you flash ROMs, you NEED root in order to flash. So that's a given.

3. Stickies all over the forum will get you started.

Hello,

I have a big problem with my german HTC Mozart ( T-Mobile version ).

2 weeks ago I flashed a RUU Rom to unbrand my mobile.

With this Software version my mobile is still branded and don´t work correct.

I would write more about the problems whith my mobile and this firmware, but my English is to bad….

After that I can´t flash any other Rom.

I tested to Install many other Roms, but the RUU installer every time says “Wrong Model ID”.

Then I looked my Phone Informations and see:

OS Version: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware revision number:2250.09.12803.111

Hardware revision number: NA

radio software version: 5.52.09.16_22.33a50.10U

radio hardware version: 0.0.0.0

Bootloader Version: 1.28.2250.3(113810)

Chip-SOC: 2.2.5.0

With the Rom, I flashed should be something wrong…

The Information on my Boot Mode Screen ( Rainbow) should be wrong, too

MOZA100 SS-BC (4K)

SPL-1.28.2250.3(113810)

MicroP (LED) 0x07

Touch C1(v69)

SD SANDISK 15193MB Class0

Partition Info-v211v413

In a german forum I found the same problem , but there are no solution.

Also I tested, to flash with a Goldcard.

I read all instructions to create a Goldcard an how to use it in this forum.

I think my created Goldcards are all OK but the USB HOST Screen every time says:

1.	Loading

2.	Checking…

3. And 3 second Later Serial on the bottom of the Display, but nothing else is happens..

Any Ideas?
[7 Mozart General] webwalk®:
so you have this problem for two weeks now?

what rom did you flash?

Yes, i have this problen for 2 weeks now.

It was a unbranded T-Mobile 1.28 rom.

Thanks, i have found someone else, with the same Problem, but no Answers.

see here

I have my Goldcards created with Ubuntu and Windows... Ubunto to find the CID and Windows, to create it...

And it seems to work, because the mobile is loading and checking the rom of the goldcard, but 3 seconds after checking... is the serial messeage in the bottom of the display and checking.. on the top, but nothing happens...
[7 Mozart General] :
I had the same problem with my HTC 7 Trophy, flashing a new ROM did not work, and it changed the Model ID of the Phone. Once that has happened there is no way to flash a different ROM.

I tried various tools to try and get the Model ID changed back, if you use MTTY you can read the Model ID, but I don't think you can change it with that tool.

In the end I had to send mine to back to HTC to get the mainboard replaced.
[7 Mozart General] webwalk®:
hm sounds very bad..

but i think i saw the awnser somewhere...

try checking other wp7 devices forums,

hd2 people are very active..

hd7 people too...

somewhere ive read about some "force rom download mode" by pressing camera button on boot too, dont know if there was truth in it...

you say you had the t mobile 1.28 installed or you did try to install it?

it is not "unbranded" if its from tmobile (or do i get the term unbranded wrong?)

i belive there are 3 different t-mobile roms: TMO-DE, TMO-CZ, TMO-AT

these are all branded roms,

if you want unbranded you get: HTC-EU or HTC-Generic

ive used this method to unbrand my mozart from tmode 1.25 to tmode 109 to HTCEU 1.28

if you come from TMODE (as a german you should) you may want to try the 109 rom (works without goldcard)

so that i understand right, you can use the OS but you cannot make calls because of the cooked radio?
[7 Mozart General] dsmps:
Hi, I have a German rom 1.28 installed, because i only can choose German or English language, but I do not remember which version it was. I think I previously had to install a 1.09.

However, there is something not been in order.

I think that the "force download mode" for this time is just for Zune, but I try to search for more information.

If I could flash any firmware I would do, but there is the problem with my "Model ID".

I think, the goldcard method is the right way, but it don´t works.

To eliminate errors about my hardware ( selfmade y-cable and hama 19in1 usb-cardreader ) I have ordered a delock y cable and a single usb-sd reader to try it on weekend again, but I think, the hardware is not my problem.

But i can test it not before weekend, because I´m a truck driver and only on the weekend at home.

Phone calls can I do with this firmware.

My display is out, if I choose a phone number. This time I only can hang up with the headset or by take out the battery

It works again until the other person accepts the call or the mobile hangs up automatically after 8 or 10 rings.

The volume of the headset ( earphones and micro), with this firmware is to quiet, too.

There are many problems….
[7 Mozart General] pik.:
somebody else with 1.28 and problems?:confused:

you dont need goldcard to flash back to stock rom

you should be able to flash any stock tmode rom without goldcard.

[7 Mozart General] pik.:
are you sure it is a german Mozart?:confused:

this rom you flashed is made for unbranding.

Have you tried this?

there has to be a way to fix it.. or maybe not

the other guy said he got his mainboard changed, maybe you broke it.. damn...
[7 Mozart General] dsmps:
@pik.

I have tested to flash the "RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.25.111.05_5.50.09.18_22.24.50_RELEASE", but after 1% the same problem "Invalid Model ID"

@webwalk®

I have created the gold card according to these instructions.

I have no Android phone, so I have the part to find out the cid solved with an Ubuntu Live CD and my built-in Cardreader.

The goldcard seems to work, since it goes from loading in checking..., then it is always the same on serial

Edit: Yes, I´m sure, that it is a German HTC Mozart.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tbytby:
Hello,

first of all, I have to say that Im a newbie.

I tried to install Cyanogenmod7 and think that I broke my phone,

but maybe u can help.

1. I installed the USB driver for Win7

2. I rooted my standard Desire GSM with unrevoked, using Clockworkmod recovery (I think it functioned)

3. Then I tried to install CM7, the installation was successful, but when I started my phone it hang in the bootscren with the blue androidguy and nothing went on.

4. A friend said that I have maybe to S-Off the Phone.. so I tried BUT: In step 3 of the Alpharev-software my Desire was frozen again.. I could not do anything and I knew that its maybe bricked. After 2 hours I decided to cut it off the computer.

Now it starts automatically in the Hboot 0.93 screen and i can use the Clockwork recover software. But when I try to install a ROM with the recoversoftware it doesnt function. I also tried to install that:

shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

But it errors, too.

What shall I do? Is it broken?

Thanks for any help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UndergroundDesigns:
Okay, so I see that you used Unrevoked, however, did you also use unrevoked forever? If not, s-off hasnt been enabled. You must use Unrevoked Forever to allow custom ROM's.

After doing that, you can revert to stock by searching for "latest desire stock". Load that, then you can attempt ROM.

Unrevoked Forever installs like a .zip on the root of your card. Just go to the unrevoked site to grab the forever program. Place it in the root of the card, and then go into recovery and install.

Next, since you may not be able to access the phone, reboot and place the Cyanogenmod rom in the root of the sd card and go into recovery and install.

Let me know what happens.

Right now "officially" there are only the HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro available on TMobile USA.

er...none?
[Windows Phone 7 General] iusauser:
I think so far only these two WP7 devices supports AWS bands.

On other platforms is different, as in the case of latest High-End Nokia devices (but Symbian OS):

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=2823&id2=2599&id3=2601&id4=2574&id5=2475&id6=2379

However it is a fact that the multi-band support, increases the cost. Is better to invest in features that do will be use

Best regards
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Many WCDMA devices support the 1900 band, if you don't care the 1700 band.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
but he asked about 3g...the phones don't offer 3g. Sure 2g works

3g nope
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
And consider 1700 AWS band with no longer be T-mo 3G after merger (AT&T needs the AWS band for LTE), you will be insane to spend $$$ on your own handset.

Even on AT&T side, there have been a lot of markets switched over to 850 band for 3G. So, even with a phone that support 1900 band 3G is no longer safe even on AT&T.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
Depends where you live. I have Omnia 7 on AT&T so it only has 1900 band, and I don't even notice a difference in 3G from my last phone. I'm sure it's probably worse, but I get 3G almost everywhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
In my area, all 3G towers were 1900. Then AT&T switched all of them to 850 last year. This year, they switched back to 1900 again. AT&T has indicated in the past that it intends to deploy more 850 band 3G to improve coverage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
I thought the 1900 towers would stay 1900, and new ones would be 850
[Windows Phone 7 General] iusauser:
Virtually all 3G-850 american handsets, also have 3G-1900 band. In other hand, the carriers such as Telstra (Australia) and Telcom New Zealand have also 3G-850, with 3G-2100 band (not 1900); but these last are a minority.

The AWS bands with WCDMA technology (3G), are only used by TMoUS (as we all know); and fatally these bands will be used by "new" Latin American carriers like Nextel Mexico and others like VTR and Nextel Chile.

No larger carrier exists than TMoUS, that use AWS bands, so that all developments in AWS bands, should be first implemented in TMoUS ...until now
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Aparently not. Install new towers cost $$$.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
That's true but most ppl who buy unlocked/unbranded handsets buy the European models which typically only come with 1900Mhz band 3G for NA. Those handsets rarely ever supports 850Mhz.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thuddome:
If I use unbranded ROMs on TMO I have gotten 4G on both my HD2 and 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
It's not the ROM but the actual hardware that has the limitation although sometimes ROMs can have band limits as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thuddome:
On both my HD2 and HD7 I will get an "H" signal. I was talking to T-Mobile support and they told me that was 4G and I was getting it because of the ROM. I asked why they would restrict the 4G if the hardware would do it and they said it was to control the number of devices on each network. I can only get it with an unbranded ROM. I'm not arguing, just telling you what they said. HD7 according to T-Mobile is NOT a 4G capable phone but mine gets an "H" signal all the time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tai4de2:
HSPA --> 'H' indicator on your handset (with custom ROM)

HSPA+ --> what T-Mobile advertises as "4G"

The H does not mean 4G. It means you have HSPA. In the carrier-specific ROMs they overwrite the H bitmap with one that shows 3G instead, to "help" their customers and avoid confusing them.
