[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryanomaly:
Hi

My Nexus S is somehow bricked. Just doesn't do anything besides showing the google logo and the unlocked sign ;)

I can't get into recovery, fastboot, adb etc.

BUT I can set it into download mode.

Is there a way to recover it using download mode?

Thx for help!

PS: I tried to go back from CM to stock using Rom Manager in case you wonder...:mad:

Has anyone experienced piss poor call quality on their arc with the noise cancelling turned on or off? All of my clients that I speak to say that all they hear is static coming from my end when I can hear them perfectly. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I want to knowif anyone else is having the same problem
[Xperia Arc General] Reds4ever:
I unlocked mine and am using it on Telus. So far I have not had anyone complain about the quality of the call on the other end.
[Xperia Arc General] akusokuzan:
Anyone else care to chime in? I tried a voice recorder app, and it seems that the sound is a bit tinny... Maybe I did get a lemon =\

No issues with voice quality. I think it is better than any of the HTC phones or the Motorola that I've had.
[Galaxy S II General] flipim:
Hi all.. I would like to know that developers that develop ROMs for Samsung Galaxy S II...

Im Spanish and Im thinkin about buy Galaxy S II... I can buy it now but there is a problem...

Galaxy S II was anounce with NFC technology but it seems that NFC wont be available in UK Galaxy´s S II...

My problem: Im spanish and here arrives 15 may but i dont know if spanish version will come with NFC tech or not...

I just wanted to explain all that because I want to know if the best developers got Galaxy with NFC or without.

PD: Sorry if i write something wrong... And thanks all comunity

PD: Sorry! I foget "???" in headline...
[Galaxy S II General] flipim:
knobody can tell me if developers will use UK version?
[Galaxy S II General] manuvaidya:
first learn to speak decent english... its very hard to digest the meaning of what you are asking & moreover, you are asking something which no one has.... why do you need that NFC technology ???

once it becomes popular, then you can think of that.... you know there is a technology where you can use this NFC function on SIM card.... i dont remember where i read it.... if that NFC method becomes so popular in your country, this technology will also become popular & it will be available for all....

till then dont worry about the NFC & better start learning some simple & understandable english pls.... or ask an apology at the end of your post.... atleast
[Galaxy S II General] b33p_:
I know what he was asking, no need to try and be pretentious.

I don't know the answer to your question. It depends what country the developers are in etc.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
It also depends upon the devs having access to the SGS 2 . Buy them one and i am sure it will be worked on .

Devs are a hobby not paid for they do it in their spare time and have to buy their own phones .

Russian devs but Russian SGS UK devs buy UK SGS .

As the SGS 2 is barely released who knows about NFC yet .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] flipim:
Thanks everybody...

Sorry again for my english.. maybe is not normative.. But it think that somebody who knows english can understand it..
[Galaxy S II General] Shanakin:
It's okay, your English is alright. It's not intuitive to understand but it gets the message across.

We do not know which areas will be getting NFC versions, when they will get them, or how incompatible they will be with each other.

If stuff for one version works, or is easily modified to work on the other version then there will be no problem. This is what I believe to be likely, but have no way of confirming. After all, we do not really have any details about the NFC version.

Personally I would not worry too much either way.
[Galaxy S II General] coocood:
I think no matter it has NFC or not,only if it is i9100,roms will be compatible.
[Galaxy S II General] coocood:
Or in another word,if the ROM of NFC version is not compatible with non NFC version,the name of NFC version won't be i9100.
[Galaxy S II General] Chrisch-RT:
At the Samsung Galaxy on Ice event in germany they said that the NFC version will only be available in Korea.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:

Now this one:

Be nice, be helpful.
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
By the look of it, this device seems way too awesome not to get a lot of developer support. Plus by the sounds of it, a lot of the SGS kernel work with regards to CM7 will be portable across here? I'm definitely going to be trying to get my hands on it! (Not that I count as much of a kernel dev, but we will get some real pro devs for sure! :D )

As to NFC or no NFC versions, they will probably be a different model number if it requires kernel changes. The kernels will probably be very similar anyway and easily portable between different SGS2 models, as with the SGS1. Except for the non amoled/exynos cpu versions, which would have very different drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Well I am not a rom dev but what I wonder is this: can't NFC or non-NFC be solved with seperate drivers or does android require it in the kernel? Am I thinking too much windows now? :P

How to Flash:

In order for this to work, the HTC Glacier needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.

Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Glacier.

Make sure the filename is PD15IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).

Connect the HTC Glacier to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:

adb push PD15IMG.zip /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip
adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip

NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.

adb reboot bootloader

The HTC Glacier will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.

The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.

Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Glacier normally.

what is the difference between the three of these?

EDIT: nevermind...killbynature answered my question while i was typing it

Flashing raw radio images is very dangerous. Especially when flashing the Engineering HBoot have the ability to flash raw radios via fastboot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Killbynature:
Yep I'm not worried let you not the first time people know who fault it is when they flash radios they make the choice
[myTouch 4G Android Development] thederekjay:
confirm that radio 26.08.04.30 flashed no issues... except that i couldnt get the bootloader to see PD15IMG.zip on the root of my sd.. pulled the radio and flashed via fastboot... working no issues as of yet
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zwindschz:
Does this give you s=off?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Killbynature:
Well 26.03.02.26 doesnt seem to stable in my house constant 3-4 bars and the last radio I had was 26.08.04.30 5 bars constantly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Killbynature:
No it does not go to the stickies section.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] crackeyes:
worked for me as well, I just rebooted into bootloader from the power option (took me to fastboot then just went to bootloader and it worked fine for me. Signal bars improved. Have not tested Data yet (stuck at work can not venture off)

i installed the 3rd one and DL the stock one also, flashed the 3rd one and then deleted it and put stock one on root of sd....so if i had signal problems or dumb batt drain. I actually just used it and flashed my stock radio back
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Are you saying no significant data speed improvement on .30 radio?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
I tried the 'new' radio. I got exactly the same signal and data speed but my battery drained really fast (aprox. an extra 30%)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Don_Perrignon:
So, I've been on 30 today and what I've noticed so far is that my battery consumption is the same. However, I (today) haven't noticed any signal difference or data speed difference. But, signal strength and data speed should be tested on a few more days - hell the same could be said for battery.

So, again, no difference day 1.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dchao22:
Just flashed the. 04 file! Freaking awesome. I was having data issues, now better than ever! Thank dev.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] malickie:
Ok so I was having issues with Roms and Speed of Downloads for some reason only hitting 55 kbps lately. Downloaded 3rd Radio and just ran a speedtest and got the same thing so not sure wth is going on. Gonna probably call my provider and see if they are capping me, even though the plan is "Unlimited".

Edit: Yes so they are data throttling me and won't fix it and said you have to wait until next billing period for it to go away. Gee what nice people there are out there, love how it says "Unlimited" but they throttle data if you use it too much. Now time to try and find a way around that stupid BS.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kimbernator:
Yeah it's no secret that the unlimited plan does throttle after 5gb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Don_Perrignon:
Another update, I've gotten a lot of battery drain today, I think I will go back to the stock radio since I didn't have issues with that.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] bigmikehd2:
I wouldn't call it nonsense since the fact that you can brick your phone if you download a corrupted file and flash it hence the md5sum check. I'm sure he knows you can do it your way but he's trying to save someone from having a very expensive paper weight ;)

i agree with you, because me myself, i prefer to use adb/terminal so that i have a fast way of checking things including md5.. just being on the safe side.. but it all depends on one's comfort level... the easiest way may also be the dangerous way.. just my two cents..

on a side note, I just got a MT4G for my grade school son, and this is my first time on this side of the forum... I have already permrooted and s=off, but i am wondering which of the previous 3 radios have good battery life? I'm not concerned about data speed.. thanks for any reply..

I had the m3 and I seen better reception when I was at school through big ass brick walls. although the signal fluctuated a lot I had 4g with no bars LOL.

but please clarify your post did you UPDATE from m3 to the .26 and then got better speeds or was it BEFORE you flashed .26?

anyone noticing an improvement with the new 26.09.04.26 over the previous 26.08.04.30 yet? i'm just curious as to if it's better or not/worth flashing or not since flashing the radio makes me just a tad bit nervous compared to flashing a rom lol :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
that's what I want to know :| but if you have engineering bootloader you shouldn't be worried. just use a md5 checksum checker to verify your download and flash it using the auto method.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smatthew45:
done and done lol, i'll report back in a few days to see if i've noticed any improvement with the new radio that just came out :)

Radio killed the video star!

I have used the stock radio, and then yesterday flashed the 3rd release of :

26.08.04.30

md5: 3d054d4bdbb0e6b81954e5742c8ba24f

I have never had more issues with signal dropping, fluctuating wildly from G to E to H, dropping data and having multiple network errors. Back to stock and all is well. Haven't yet tried the latest release but I can't imagine it would be any better. Perhaps if we had some sort of idea exactly what the differences are in the various radios. Clearly, at least from my experience, it wasn't improved signal reception. And where exactly are these "new" radios being found at? Are these coming from some leak from Google, HTC, or T-Mobile?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vqt:
Wifi is working fine for me on the new radio. Also using rg 2.0 with ck's new kernel. Not really seeing a battery drain on this new radio. Off charger since 5am. Light usage. It's now 2pm with 81% left

It's scary for the uninitiated. Took me a good six weeks after rooting to finally work up the nuts to read the tuts, and watch a few vids and dip my toes in the adb waters.

Glad I did, because it sure did come in handy when The Wife finally relented and let my root her MT3G Slide (still wish I could get s-off on that damn thing, but she took the FroYo OTA... Grr!!!!).

i know alot of ppl been asking about a flashable version of the radio w/o adb, and alot are saying to just learn adb and flash it, but as a person who had a short lived career with adb after bricking my g1, i'm sure a lot of people dont want to end up with bricks.

could someone be kind enough to make a quick flashable radio update? we aren't all that computer savvy here. thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
If you want to take the risk, just put the file on the root of the SD card and boot into hboot by holding volume down and power. Click yes and then blingo blamo. You flashed it without using adb.

For those of you that don't want to use ADB to do that, there are apps that make it easy like ManD5.

the entire adb thing is just a mess. in an attempt to install, i downloaded android sdk, then it wanted to do a million updates, then it said java not found. installed java, still not found, updated variable path. then installed android self installer file, again now i need java jdk..installed that, updated variable path, and the damn thing still wont run.

so ManD5 app, i select the file, and it installs the radio? i thought that the radio has to be off when updating it.

or can i do mark's method, then run the mand5 app after?? soo lost.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jazzmanmonty:
ok so starting to get it. md5 just verifies that the radio file is good. if its good, use marks method to install...am i getting this finally?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
Personally I would just use my way, and no the app does not install it. It just checks the md5 sum. You would still have to install it my way

Sent from my Faux powered Glacier

First of all, ManD5 is an app that verifies the MD5. It does not install a radio.

Also, check out this guide for setting up ADB. It makes messing with the entire SDK unnecessary.
