The nexus s bootloader can be locked and unlocked anytime you want. so dont worry about it. it is not like the nexus 1 where, once u did oem unlock, you could not revert back. this time, google even allows us to oem lock. hehehe.

enjoy ur new phone!
[Nexus S General] NexusCrazy:
I'm devastated about some t**t stealing my Nexus One but on the other hand I'm so looking forward to getting My Nexus S and gaining root, flashing a few different ROM's but will probably end up with Cyanogen Nighty's + installing some good Root only Apps.

So how do you lock it, by using ADB and fastboot oem lock :)
[Nexus S General] Fizwiz:
I have put the link to download the file in the first post.
[Nexus S General] deejaylobo:
There is an app called "Plan B" on the market. You can install through your browser. What it does is send an email to the google account registered on your phone with the location coordinates. Then you can also text the number with a keyword to get your location details. If I had known about it earlier I would have done the same for my lost/stolen phone before blocking my sim and changing passwords. I would assume it's probably too late for you too. But, this is FYI.
[Nexus S General] the7thson:
Followed this guide, worked perfect! Just got a brand new Nexus S (i9020T) and it's rooted on 2.3.4 :)

Thanks for posting this!

Quick question - where can I get a file browser with root permissions? Any free ones on the market by any chance?
[Nexus S General] imneo1:
question ?

I already asked about this at another thread so i apologize for asking again:

As far as i understand this link:

2.3.4 ( GRI40 to GRJ22) OTA update

is the Radio update to GRJ22. can i safly flush it (only it) if i have:

NsCollab-1.0.21(cyanogenMod-7-Nightly-49) ?

please note signature for any other information...
[Nexus S General] lesonal:
I wanted a nexus s now, just because you guys get Google talk with video chat.
[Nexus S General] citricacid:
thanks for the guide, i got my phone to boot in 2.3.4 however it seems mines not rooted? something I forgot?
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Did you flash the su 2.3.6.1 zip file from CWM recovery?
[Nexus S General] zero383:
Try ghost commander.
[Nexus S General] the7thson:
I used an app called Super Manager from the market, it has a root explorer built in. Renamed the install-recovery file, but clockworkmod still doesn't seem to stick permanently. Can anyone tell me which program to use to rename this file so that the recovery doesn't get changed?

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] the7thson:
Thanks for your reply! I just tried Ghost Commander, but the rename doesn't stick for some reason. The filename stays install-recovery.sh. I'm just holding down the filename in ghost commander and then clicking "rename" in the menu and changing the name to install-recovery.sh.bak, but it doesn't save it.. I'm rooted on 2.3.4, any ideas why this might be happening?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
The script installs recovery during boot process. So if you flash CWM, then boot, then rename the file.... yes you will be on stock recovery next time you access recovery.

You need to boot up, rename the file, then flash CWM recovery. I hope that helps.
[Nexus S General] the7thson:
Right, I totally understand. What I'm saying however is that i can't get the install-recovery.sh file renamed using Ghost Explorer. The rename of the file will not stick, it stays named install-recovery.sh no matter what I do. How do I rename it? What program do I use?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] NexusCrazy:
Thanks for that. Yeeh it was foolish of me really, I was too busy flashing CyanogenMod Nightly's and never had time to go through all my apps. When my Nexus S comes on Tuesday I'll be installing "Plan B" and everytime I flash a new ROM the first thing I'll do is make sure Plan B is set up properly.
[Nexus S General] rgbc:
It sounds like /etc isn't mounted r/w, I had no problems renaming install-recovery.sh using Root Explorer, to see if the folder is mounting r/w properly try creating a new folder or file in /etc, if you cannot then it is r/o and the app you're using doesn't have root or you haven't mounted the folder as r/w.
[Nexus S General] the7thson:
Looks like you're exactly right, I can't create a folder in there either, there aren't sufficient permissions. Next stupid question.. how do I mount it as read/write? I'm using the Ghost Commander and Super Manager apps. Thanks!

I have a Nexus S that has never been rooted,I manually updated to 2.3.4,can I use the steps in this thread to root it?mt device is not carrier locked

Hey. I just have my Nexus S in 2.3.4. Can i just flash the SU file in CWM for Rooted?????
[Nexus S General] keltsi95:
^I have the same question. Its a friend's phone he automatically updated to 2.3.4 the SuperUser Icon appears but doesn't work.
[Nexus S General] telfer:
worked great on GRI-54

Just did 100% successful upgrade from 2.3.3 GRI-54, rooted, Canadian version to 2.3.4.

[XPERIA X8 General] opexblue:
Do you got su reboot bug?

Sent from my X8
[XPERIA X8 General] edxmon:
what does that have to do with overclocking? this is doixhan's oc module, it does not fix a rom's su reboot bug
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
if you asking "what is over clocking" google would help you.

overclock - To run a processor (CPU), or any electronic logic device, at a speed higher than is recommended by the manufacturer

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/overclock

basically it makes your X8 processor run at a faster speed then Sony set it to.
[XPERIA X8 General] opexblue:
Sorry, I missunderstood. I thought it's a new rom :p

[Focus General] maveric34:
I've changed it about ten times but to me it always seems blurry. The stock photos looks pretty awful as well. Is that the way it's suppose to look?
[Focus General] zedmartinez:
Varies

It depends. It seems to have more to do with the image size than anything. I have both a Mac and a Windows box, and when I was trying syncing mine with the Mac for a while I checked the option to resize photos for the phone and all my hub tiles were really bad after that, when I sync from Windows and Zune with (presumably) larger pictures, I get the problem significantly less, though still the occasional pic it doesn't seem to like.
[Focus General] maveric34:
I'm talking about the main pictures double tile that you pin to the start screen. Not sure if your referring to the same thing.The individual pictures looks brilliant.

The panorama background in the picture hub looks awful as well but i don't really care too much about that one. My main issue is the picture tile on the start screen.
[Focus General] maveric34:
will wp7 ever be able to take screen shot:confused:
[Focus General] koornneef:
Have you tried choosing your own picture for the background?

In Pictures, touch and hold the panorama title. A menu should pop up allowing you to choose a new picture or have it choose one for you.

The panorama takes an image of at least 1426x800. Those seem to be the dimensions suggested to developers.

http://download.microsoft.com/downl... 7 Application Certification Requirements.pdf
[Focus General] Tempest790:
If you don't like the double size Picture Tile, you can make a picture a favorite and then create a shortcut to it. This will be a single tile, and it takes you to the pictures menu where you can still scroll through all your pictures. That's how I have mine set up.
[Focus General] maveric34:
Thanks for the suggestions Tempest790. I tried the pin to start favorite option but its still blurry. Its nothing like the Zune tile which is crystal clear and very sharp. I'm beginning to think that's the way its suppose to look. I think my only hope now is to find another owner of a wp7 phone and ask to look at their pictures tile which in itself will be a monumental task considering I live in New York and all I ever see here are iPhones and androids. :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Paraflax:
Alright, after countless of googles, I decided to turn to the one place I'm sure to find an answer. Here's the deal: I'm a tech-geek, and I get bored with stuff every so often. To be honest, I had five different phones the last year, starting with an Xperia X1, heading onto an X10, X10 mini pro, iPhone 4 - to eventually land with an Optimus One. I don't know how I got stuck with that phone, but I rather like it!

Now recently I lost my job - I'm not in any trouble as I got a new job already, however my next few paychecks will have to be spent on other things than phones. As you may notice, I'm good at drifting away, so - as I was saying - here's the deal:

I want Windows Phone 7 on my Android Device. To be honest, I'm getting tired of Android, it offers no variety (yeah, I know there are launchers, homecooked roms and all that - that's not what I'm looking for). It's the same thing day in day out, and I want to change! Now I discovered how amazing Windows Phone 7 is, I actually find it astonishing how Microsoft managed to pull it off, but hey - congrats! Anyhow, is there a way to get Windows Phone 7 on this device? I know it was done on the HTC HD2, so it should be possible, riiight? I'll let you guys discuss it - I sure hope it's possible.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] divyanshu308:
Yeah I hope dual boot android with windows phone 7 on optimus one:-D.

I seriously doubt that is gonna happen.

you can do out when you develop it yourself.best of luck you.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pachuau86:
HTC HD2 was originally a Windows phone (WM 6.5) so thats probably why its possible to port Windows Phone 7 to it, and also because of the popularity of the device and hardwork of the devs.

I doubt that an original android phone will be able to run windows phone 7 in the near future, even less a low spec phone like O1. ( i cud be wrong tho.. )
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
What ... HTC HD2 ... is a ... Windows phone ??!

OK ... that's good info.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pachuau86:
yup HTC HD2 is a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone to be exact :D

in the previous post, i meant that it was a phone running windows and not talking about the OS 'Windows Phone 7', hence the reason for the small letter.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
Sorry, but can't. only WVGA phones can be WP7.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] divyanshu308:
About hd2 have a look at the hardware specs the phone boasts.

1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset .

quadrant score over 4000 without overclocking that too on 850 Mhz and an OC@ 1.5 GHZ

and god knows what.

I've seen it's forum it's got win mobile, android, windows phone 7 and Ubuntu too. and guess what kubuntu not to mention but a laggy meego too.

It's had android in nand and it's got windows phone7 in nand.

it's got windows phone 7 in nand and android on sd dual boot.

It's a monster device.

God I'm gonna get one of those.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kayway27:
hey all, maybe its just my paranoid self, but i just want to be sure;

i was charging my phone, and at the same time, i was playing slice it. suddenly i realized that the back of the phone was getting really hot, and i checked the temperature. it was about 45c, and i was gettin freaked out, so i took the batttery and put in the fridge for like 10 seconds, before realizing that was a stupid mistake. after about 5 minutes, it cooled back down to 30.5c. i believe that perhaps the battery was around 45c for about a minute or so.

I was just wondering, do you think my battery life will suffer from my idiotic antics? Im a bit worried that itll have a significant impact, even if it was for a few minutes? Did i 'burn' out some of the lithium ion cells?

much help appreciated!

thanks alot!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Just curious, does only your battery get warm, or does the top half of the phone (above the battery) got hot too?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kayway27:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
Mine did the exact same thing last night with fruit ninja of all things. I also put my whole phone in the fridge for one minute and it dropped the battery temp from 45c to 38c. The battery condition also said "overheated" instead of "good" which it has said since then.

I don't think anyone really knows and begging for an answer is a quick way to get flamed.

I know that if you were to rapidly cool metal or another material in that same manner, it would crack. I don't know if that same issue would apply to batteries. I definitely wouldn't put anything overheated directly into a frozen environment like that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
+1 not a great idea, just take battery out and let it sit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bshakil:
Mine had the same problem. Whenever i put it on charge it would heat up within minutes and then upon unplugging it would cool down. I read somewhere in the forum to discharge completely and then recharge to full. I did that and its been 1 week since that and no problems with overheating and battery life is also improved. My battery`s health is still GOOD i checked using * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # *

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I undervolted the cpu. Overheating almoat stopped. I swapped battery and has been better since. Usually running two quadrants i would start feeling it get hotter and hotter. On new battery i run four an don't notice any major change.

My phone was awesome...but now it overheats....??

I am going to try and undervolt and see if that helps my problems but my phone just goes crazy hot when it's asleep and idk what to do, even w/ a new warranty phone, and i could tell it's new cause it still had the green tap by the buttons and stuff...the old one got crazy hot, but only after cm7 build33....and this was also after i changed the recovery to 3101 ext4 supported one....can a recovery affect your roms (overheat it) i would't think so, it only loads on command idk how it would....hmmmmm my vibrant would be a dead cold 28-29c when on idle/sleep but w/ this phone it just gets hot and is about 37-43 when doing nothing.....i'm going to try the undervolt thing w/ cm7 latest build and faux123's kernel 0.1.1 and try to undervolt it, i'll search thru that thread for good undervolting starting points...and play w/ that......idk i'm just confused why it is just now happening and not before, i had it on launch day and no problems till last week....i'm lost..

I updated my SGS using Kies to 2.2.1. I have not rooted the phone or made any other changes to the firmware before this. After the update, my back key randomly seems to have gotten "stuck" and pressing the home key snapped a screenshot. This was bad enough. Now, both softkeys have stopped working, although the home button seems to work fine. I have done every reset on the phone that I can find, but still no help. Of course, I am still running 2.2.1. I can't think of any other cause for the problem except the update. Has anyone else had or heard of this and does anyone know of a fix?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
I have had this problem before. What I had to do to fix it, was flash a 2.1 rom with Odin.

If you don't want to go that route, check in Kies somewhere in the tools tab for an emergency firmware recovery. Hook the phone up and see if that will fix your issue.

Have you factory reset your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentabarf:
I have already tried the factory data reset and the factory format. Nothing from either of those options. I tried the Kies emergency recovery and it is asking me for a code that I have no idea where to get...

I am downloading the files now to try the Odin flash...I guess we'll see how that works.

The next logical question would be why did this happen? Will I be able to update to Froyo? Or is this gonna happen again the next time I try to do an official update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
It could just be a buggy flash. I really don't know the answer to that.

If your 2.1 rom has 3 files, flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.

If 1 file, no pit no re-partition.

Yes, you will be able to upgrade to Froyo afterwards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentabarf:
Not sure what happened, but something didn't work right.

After the first flash, all appeared to be well, but when I tried to swipe the screen to unlock it, nothing happened.

So I tried it again. Now, there is an eight sided star type thing that keeps flashing on the screen. If I disconnect the USB cable, the Samsung screen keeps flashing. I can't get ADB or Odin to recognize anything.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentabarf:
PHEW! Using the button combinations I was able to get back into download mode and I am currently flashing again. The most surprising thing is that the button combination trick didn't work before. Hopefully it will work this time.

Edit: I did read through this thread a bit, and it seems that this rom may disable 3 button recovery. If that's the case, I would still flash this to get your softkeys working again. Make sure to flash the 3 button fix after this firmware flash if it no longer works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentabarf:
I actually found and flashed that firmware a little while ago with no improvement. Still no softkeys. I am completely confused. I thought this was software, and now I am beginning to wonder. Is there anything else that I can install that might fix this?

Since I no longer have stock firmware and don't seem to be able to be able to find the original again, I'm not sure that I am even going to be able to take it back to my carrier, since I believe that the warranty is voided unless I can return it to the original firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrotune1200:
Hello,

I'll keep an eye out for that firmware, it has to be somewhere you would think.

In the meantime, to pull the backup from your wifes phone, I do believe you need root access. Maybe you can pursuade her by cooking her a nice dinner with a good bottle of pinot noir :p

In the meantime, I'll keep looking for you.
