[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chipperjatl:
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask...

I received my brand new Nexus S today, but I was disappointed to find a scuff on the screen, even under the protector that was shipped with it. Its small enough I don't want to ship it back, but it is annoying. Its def not a scratch. I've tried screen cleaner and rubbing it really hard, but it doesn't go away. I'm not for sure what kind of screen it is, so does anyone have any tips that won't scratch but might give me a chance to remove it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axlback:
It's likely to be a imperfection in the oleophobic coating. Normally it takes a few days and can wear off but you seem to have been unlucky. A way to prove it is to clean the screen well with a microfibre cloth - the scuff should now be almost invisible. If after you've touched the screen a few times it becomes much more obvious the diagnosis is confirmed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chipperjatl:
Yeah that sounds exactly like the problem. Unfortunately it didn't get better. Its actually just above the display, closer to the camera and speaker. I was just hoping there was a quick fix to buffering it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pediz123:
I am completely new to Android and all of this flashing stuff. This is my first tutorial hope it helps some out there. I really couldn't find one tutorial that helped me completely so I put stuff I used from many into one.

MAKE SURE YOUR ESN IS CLEAN AND NOT A STOLEN PHONE. IN MY CASE IT WAS A CLEAN ONE.

What you need:

1. QPST 2.7 Build 323 (Look it up yourself and download it)

2. ADB and DIAG drivers here

3. The 60650.prl from this site http://www.corolada.com/prl/

Here are the steps.

1. Make sure that your Evo's drivers are all installed. By that I mean the ADB and HTC DIAG drivers.

2. Dial ##3424# which will put your phone in Diag mode, and enable usb debugging.

3. You can follow this to install the DIAG and ADB drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697487&highlight=cdma+workshop

4. Once done installing the DIAG driver make sure you're still on device manager.

Make sure you see this below:

Now right click on HTC USB Modem and click properties, and something like this will come up:

take note of the port # on the top, in my case COM4

5. Now open CDMA workshop in Administrator mode. Right click Run as Admin. This will come up:

6. Click on connect on the bottom right, on the bottom left it should say "Connected to (your COM name) port successfully" in my case COM4

7. Click on other and make sure it says NAM1 for the first flash. Click write and browse for the 60650.prl and select it press open. Something like the second image should pop out, just press ok the prl has been flashed.

8. Now where it previously said NAM1 press the arrow down and click NAM2. Click write and browse again for 60650.prl do the same as step 7.

9. You are done. Close CDMA workshop. Reboot your EVO.

10. Go to update your PRL

11. Punch ##3282# hit edit type your MSL pass, go to Data Profile, hit menu and hit RESET.

12. Reboot once more and youre good to reactivate your EVO. :)

REMEMBER FLASHING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND I AM NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE (IM NOT SAYING THAT ANYTHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN). I JUST SAY THIS TO PROTECT MYSELF. THIS WORKED FOR ME, I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU. :)

My proof:

Today in my room at 11AM with Metro PCS prl (Look at the bars XD)

Today at 7PM in my room with Sprint prl (Look at the bars)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
But people need to be reminded, if You bought a *STOLEN* Sprint evo (one that has been reported) it won't work on Sprint.

So make sure you check the ESN with Sprint before hand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pediz123:
Yes ill edit that into the post thanks bro.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pediz123:
i posted this in the wrong section is there a way this can be deleted or reposted in the development section?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xPSYB0RGx:
hey, do you think this will work for the evo shift?

EDIT:

I followed your instructions which are pretty simple to the letter, after rebooting, im still stuck with metro prl. I tried updating it with using wifi, but no luck.

EDIT2: Whats weird i that the "sprint zone" msg comes up, so some kind of progress was made..... to be continued upon further discoveries!!

Edit3: Ok, it finally took after resetting the phone a few times, and it does show the new prl. But now, it takes forever to update the prl. The only other prob is I cannot find my msl code, neither thru msl reader or cdma workshop, they both tell me its 6 zero's. Boy oh boy!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inw55555:
Hello pediz123

I have couple questions on your tutorial.

1. Is it possible if I use DEMO-CDMA Workshop with your tutorial? I went to the link they gave me the demo version.

2. In your tutorial, I dont see when you run "QPST 2.7 Build 323". What is it for?

Thanks

i'm getting an error when i try to install it.

model number: SPH-M910

firmware version 2.1-update-1

baseband version- S:M910.05 S.DF27

kernel version 2.6.29

build number- SPH-M910 ECLAIR.DI06

hardware version: M910.05

that's all that currently listed.

any advice as to what to do?
[Intercept General] Ewbuczytjatyavta:
Root using epic exploit, install flash_image gui, install CM01 recovery, back up all partitions, install DL05 stockrom. You will be on 2.2 with no root and stock recovery. You can go through all of that again to regain root.

[Intercept General] old_dude:
Read post #2.
[Intercept General] xxjabberwockxx:
If you're VM intercept gets a status 7, it means you didn't have one of the following:

1. Stock 2.1 VM ROM

2. Stock Recovery

3. Stock Kernel

First question I would have is... Did you ever go to Sprint's 2.2 (with or without the baseband modification)? If you did and your baseband is NOT modified, you have to drop back to VM's 2.1. If you currently have VM 2.1, You should still have the DI06 baseband then follow these isntructions:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development-2-2/vm-froyo-official-update-zip/

If you have the Sprint's DL05 baseband because you updated to Sprint's 2.2 with the baseband modification, then stay on Sprint's 2.2 then follow this:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development-2-2/virgin-mobile-froyo-2-2-stock-system-and-kernel-dump/

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Hi all,

I just got a TMobile G1 from ebay to replace my rogers dream.

I slipped my sim card into the G1 and it was working fine from out of the packaging. I decided to reset to factory because the previous owner left all his personal info on the G1.

Now I get an android startup screen, I type in my gmail user/pass, and the G1 cannot connect to the gmail servers.

The G1 aint picking up the 3g, and as well, it is not giving me an option to use a wireless setup either.

I would like to root the phone, but how can I from this setting on the G1?

Can I root a phone without a SIM card?

I thought that the TMobile G1's worked on rogers?

I asked on the forums before purchasing this phone.

Thanks

[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
GREAT!

we can get some ROMs going with an sbf with root as a backup and Nandroid backup to go all the way back to stock in case you need to return the phone.

also - we can edit the frameworks to get rid of the BS massive carrier title in the notification bar.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GuestK00386:
will i still be able to install this theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041450 or at least a black notification bar? thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Most likely the people making those would have to get the updated framework files and redo the themes to make it work with new firmware. If you really need the theme then i'd recommend waiting for a bit to give people time to make some stuff for the update before you install it. Having root is a good start to getting there though
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GuestK00386:
refresh refresh refresh.......................:p

my apologies, im just a lil we bit to excited to get this script! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
I think we will need to deodex first and repackage the theme first. Correct me if I'm wrong. Root is always the first step but the important thing here as stated above is that bell users can use cwm to backup bell then flash to this telstra verson and root to install cwm and recover to bell if necessary. I'm sure someone will port a theme with a dark bar soon;) This rom also has minor improvements such as 2.2.2 and hspa fix (or so the small tester army is saying).

Lol, I can't seem to type fast enough to get a response out...yesssss, refresh!:-P

[Atrix 4G Android Development] GuestK00386:
raybond25 i sent you a PM don't know if you got it but basiclly do i have to wait for a new set of deodexed files and then also have to wait for the theme to be compatible with this SBF? thanks

EDIT: also i don't mind waiting for a few weeks for some compatible themes etc. i want my fast upload speeds etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
Yes, that is correct. I wasn't really thinking of deodex. I believe the process is essentially the same for every update, so I don't expect it will be long before this is done. If you really like your current theme setup you might as well wait a week or two before installing the new sbf.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GuestK00386:
already flashing it, lol. i did like the gingerbread theme but i can live with a white notification bar a settings menu for a couple weeks, most everything else i can get to look the same. but it shouldn't take very long to at least get a black notification bar updated to work with this SBF (few days to a week im guessing)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GuestK00386:
okay i have run into a problem, when i try and sign in to my motoblur account i get the error (an error has occurred, please try again) also i have no data connection (may just have to enter bell APN settings later) but using wifi. can someone help me with this and is there a way to bypass the setup? thanks

EDIT: managed to bypass motoblur setup using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027994 and i do have to enter bells APN settings but i think the problem was my wifi at the motoblur setup screen, its doing some crazy connect>disconnect>connect>disconnect thing so that is probably why i couldn't set up my motoblur account

EDIT 2: everything is working except the wifi issue but i never use the wifi, waiting for root script so i can restore using titanium backup!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
If its like Bell and has skip setup option when you press menu....

If not, read the thread in this forum called something like" using atrix with no SIM or motoblur account"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
I never set up my motoblur (on bell version haven't flashed this one yet), I think I just didn't put in my sim card and didn't connect to wifi and it let me bypass it. Bell apn should be easily found.

seven I just have two questions:

with the sd card do we just need it in the device? or do we need set it i USB Storage (im thinking just in the device and make sure android doesn't unmount it (i.e. set USB mode to none and then check)

the other question between you and riral do you have any where that some of us could buy you a beer (paypal etc) just to say thanks?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
sorry for delays guys,

Basically this is whats going on:

I've managed to successfully Root using a certain method, not completely listed in the instructions. I've rooted various times on my first attempt the problem lies in the fact that there have been times where I follow the exact same steps, and it does not work... and no matter what I do I can't get it to work after that, the only fix for this is a fresh flash...

Truly a bummer and so the bug being that I don't always get Root access consistently means there's something thats not working properly, and it most probably lies in the fact that this method of rooting replaces psneuter with GingerBreak... the issue is through, once you GingerBreak, its very hard to do it again and be 100% sure that you can repro all the circumstances again.

In any case I've gone through 3 iterations of scripts and even just straight up commands to try to get it 100% consistent. This is what is delaying me... that and Portal 2 and falling asleep from working on this all night :P

Portal 2 for in between moments while the phone is flashing or being exploited
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Why? You shouldn't have to type that twice, that makes no sense.

What issues are you having? PM me some logs I might be able to help.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Hey so the new version of Gingerbreak gives root to telstra sbf with just the app...only ****ty thing is it clears your internal sd. Tryed it then rebooted and it didn't loose root how else would I test to see if it would loose root?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Dont worry about that double thing lol.. these instructions are not the revised final ones.

Anyways I think I figured it out. I just have to run a test.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
What do you mean it gives you root.

GingerBreak doesn't give you full root access permanently,

Its only a temporary root solution a la psneuter

Afterwards you must manually deliver payload. In any case this is where it gets a bit tricky.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
theres an update to it, it wouldnt work at all now it rooted my phone and it seems to be working fine, root survived a reboot, what other way can i test it cause Root Explorer works, CacheMate works as well TiBu and System Info Widget(reboot option) as well boots into tenfars cwm bootstrap recovery
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
the latest GingerBreak does not give you full root access...

The latest one, as per Chain's blog does not upload anything to your phone so there is no way you got Root just by running it.

I think you most certainly did something else after using it.. I would bet 5 bucks you re-flash and you wont be able to make that happen again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
i didnt do a thing after hitting the root button, besides reboot, i did try stuff before like GladRoot and SuperOneClick, they failed though
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] pyee0124:
I did everything on a mac. This script and many others basically just adb push and set permissions to the copied files. Seven actually had the manual method posted yesteray, but it looks like he took it down :-(

Edit : its in the second post of this thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] seven2099:
Thing is, Moto's not responsible for the exploit.

It exploits something in the OS and this security hole is open up to all versions of 2.3.. that means that for us to get that patched would require a new version of Android OS and something further along than 2.3.2
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChongoDroid:
I was just deleting some bloat since we don't need to freeze anymore and i started getting constant fcs... cwm to the rescue... this really is awesome.

Edit: deleted all the bloat I had previously frozen and wow... This thing is fast! No problems except voice commands and another constantly fc when deleted. Battery pull and your ok!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Well, that's not really how it works. They can absolutely patch it, and they would be foolish not to. It's a MASSIVE security risk, especially an overflow exploit like this. RageAgainstTheCage and psneuter exploits work across versions as well, and even on older android versions they've been patched by the manufacturers.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Do you notice a difference in performance from being frozen and bloat actually gone? i usually rename to .apk.bak thats just time consuming :( there was some telstra bloat that you could actually remove from manage applications, hope thats not detrimental to upgrading...do you have a list of stuff that you removed from system/app? or same list as here(for the most part): http://twi.mn/XD

Hi, after root the phone and reboot it, can I change the SD card?

I'll try it in a Brazilian Atrix:

OLYLA_U4_0.50.0

Hi, I tried It, but dont work, the commands and scripts run fine, but in the final, I oppened another adb shell and type "su", just receive the message: "Permission denied"

I reboot the phone and to My surprise the root apears work, but the Titanium backup giveme a message (something like it):

"The busybox are working, but the response to the comand "su" was whoami... and need to response whoami su0 "

Any ideas? (Titanium pro dont work too (force close), just free version, and dont show all app)

Sorry about my suck english....

EDIT: Mrs, I Want to say thanks because the root works!!!

I Believe Im the first to root a Brazilian phone.

The Titanium updated the superuser and the busybox, now the free version works great, the pro version dont, But I believe is because My version is from Applanet.

Thanks again and Congratulations. :D:D:D:D:D
