[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I'm not so sure that is 100% certain yet.

Support for the Nexus 4G was just added into AOSP Gingerbread branch in 2.3.4. So far none of the custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or MIUI have fully merged 2.3.4 into their code base.

There is a chance we will see "universal" ROMs that will work.

Remember, there were three Nexus S devices even before the 4G: i9020T, i9020A, and i9023. And while those are all "GSM" phones, the radios do not work on each other's 3G networks.

I agree if there is danger of easily flashing something by mistake that will brick your phone, make them separate. And when I was first planning on getting a Nexus, I wanted the same thing. But the truth is, now that I've had a Nexus for almost a month, it would suck to have all the variants split up. The ideal solution would be to all stick together to keep the community of developers larger and to have ROMs and kernels that are easily compatible or at least easily compiled for multiple devices (then each dev thread could just link to each version).

Maybe that won't work, but so far, the 4G "dev" section would have a total of like two threads in it. So why not just wait and see what happens?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebags:
this might be true, we may need a separate (sub)forum for the NS4G. this phone is still very new and the developers haven't completely dissected the phones software differences yet. Netarchy has already put out a kernel that is compatible for both phones, who's to say that once the differences get sorted out that a rom can't be universal. it would be nice to have one big NS development scene instead of splitting it in two.

just my two cents
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paleryder:
I have to agree with joeB on that one
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
All, just FTR I started this after seeing several ROMs reported as not working with the NS4G. This is assuming that there is some reason why the two aren't completely compatible. If they are, then by all means we should keep the layout the same as it is. I literally just got mine so I haven't had a chance to root or test it, so I'm not a good judge of that fact.

I'll update the first post with the suggestions posted in previous comments.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but there's separate boards for the gsm hero/ cdma hero :/ seems like we need different forums
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:
I agree, all these NS4G'ers walking in like they own the place, laying down their threads and disrupting the nice order of things!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaX05:
SuperAosp 8.0 is a complete 2.3.4 custom rom.

We need a NS4G user to extract their radio kernel (D720SPRKD8) So it can be tried out using a custom rom that is fully 2.3.4 such as SuperAosp 8.0

Here is the thread that it needs to be added to:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
I vote for 2 sub / sub forums i.e.

xda-developers > Samsung Nexus S > Nexus S Development

xda-developers > Samsung Nexus S > Nexus S 4G Development

Keeping everything else under the same hat. The roms will have to be different but not the kernels and the rest should be generally the same.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezpm:
Yes. Sprint Nexus S	4G needs it's own subforum.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Maybe instead of creating deeper and deeper branches of a forum that's already way too branched, people and mods could be smart and label things appropriately.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newspeak:
I for one don't see a reason for division ..this is a bad week for the phone to come out ...I am sure by the end of I/O things will be sorted out

Us GSMers don't want this war of cdma aggression
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know 2.3.4 kernels are universal and support both Nexus S and Nexus S 4G because it has WiMAX embedded into it. The only difference between the two phone variants is the radio. When making roms as of 2.3.4 builds, developers just need to make sure not to include any radio update. Hence, there's no need for making a subdivision. We only need a thread which contains all of the radio updates, for upgrading and clarification purposes.

If all of the above is true, developers will not need to create two threads, one in each forum. We can have consolidated user bug reports and help from other users. This is easier on both user and developer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezpm:
Better titles of threads and clearly state which phone it's for would work also.:)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
Not trying to be aggressive at all. I have an OCD about organization of files and folders, and so if these two aren't compatible(stated before as the only situation in which a divide would be considered) it'd be better to keep them separate, not just for my OCDs but for general organizational purposes. However, this would [bold]only[/bold] apply if they aren't compatible.

If the above is true, then this thread's request actually states you should ignore it. I would only want to split things up if there were compatibility problems between the NS and NS4G phones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ep3n3wp:
Are you kidding? People barely read the op/last 10 posts...

I agree that the ns4g gets it's own section... I'm debating getting the ns4g and trying to read thru here for reviews/how to root and what developing is going on is a pain in the ass...

Please mod gods... New section please!!!!!

Good news: I just saved 500 hundred bucks on a new phone by switching to XxXViRuSXxX

(So easy, a noobie can do it)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
This set of instructions worked perfectly for me. Just do 1 & 2, ignore "New part 2". It should root you fairly quickly. The only thing it doesn't cover is that you'll need to use Root Explorer to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else(probably /etc/install-recovery.sh.old) if you want to keep the custom recovery you install. Other than that, it's a very easy to understand guide.

I didn't have adb set up on the machine I did it on, so it took me a bit longer to root. Total from scratch was like an hour or so.

it gets more difficult every day to find stuff for the "normal" nexus s :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
I am using the drug-addled edition of MiUI. I love love love the rom, but am having problems extracting and installing a different keyboard. I have read three different ways of doing so, however two I believe are incorrect results, and the third involves hooking my phone to computer... anyway of doing this from my phone? Seems it should be much simpler. I have the zip and have extracted i, ifthat helps, using astro file manager... thanks in advance....

Has anyone tried this on the gtab? It works on CM7 but the video is not full screen (maybe 2/3) and I can't get any sound. Anyone have better luck?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MajorMajor:
Different problem here. I can't interact withany of the buttons to start a video playing. On vegan gb.

I do get the no sound thing with cm7 on my phone.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
Same prob here on my vegan gb as well. also get no sound on my droid 1. guess they are still working on the app.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] collindv:
Hmm, it actually works with sound on my og droid. I am running Miui on it though and not Cm7
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] collindv:
So after an excursion into the world of Honeycomb I am back on CM7 until HC stabilizes a bit. Unfortunately this app is now giving me fits. It seems like I either get the "The Subscriber is not found" error or another one saying something to the effect of "there is an error accessing this event, plese select another".

I know it is not my log in information because it works fine on my OG droid and my wife's iPad.

Anyone have suggestions or a similar problem?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Fosterside:
I experience the "Subscriber is not found" error as well running Brilliant Corners 1.2, but the app works fine on my iPhone. Not sure what the issue is.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] collindv:
I thought maybe it was lack of GPS (for blackout purposes) but I did a bluetooth GPS share with my droid and it still didn't work.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
I always flash a new radio with recovery and I have now been told this is not the correct way on doing this, But all radio flash tutorials I have read say to do it this way.

What all your votes on this?
[Desire General] superste2201:
Depends on if you have modified nand partitions. If you have one with a cache partition to small to hold radio you HAVE to flash from fastboot.

Apart from that I believe there is little difference in the risks associated.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
I have stock nand, what's the limit cache on that? new radio is out its a 11mb zip

Am worried using recovery now lol this will be my 4th radio flash with recovery and not one single problem?
[Desire General] dzumagos:
it is generally safer to flash radio from fastboot.

if it can go wrong, then it is defienietly more probable while doing that trough recovery.
[Desire General] vnvman:
Stock should have 40 mb cache, if i remember well...sure you can flash it via recovery then, but fastboot is still safer imo.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Think am just going to stick with recovery :rolleyes: like I said I not had one problem.
[Desire General] vnvman:
It's your choice, tho bricking is more frequent with that way: if the archive gets damaged recovery will flash it anyway and eventually brick your device, fastboot instead doesn't allow you to flash a malformed image, afaik...
[Desire General] shankly1985:
True I never thought of that :eek:

Can I use this fastboot on windows7? Is there a upto data tutorial you can link me to please that would be great thanks.
[Desire General] vnvman:
Yep, you can use it (i got the same os), but in order to do that you have to download the android sdk and set up adb properly. There's a lot of tutorials on how to do this, here's the first i stumbled across:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

Imho it's a rule of thumb to have a working adb/fastboot if you wanna be into the rom flashing thing: sooner or later they'll save your arse ;)
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Thanks yes I already have all that done and installed USB driver's. I did this when first rooting my phone :)

so it just learning how to use fastboot
[Desire General] shankly1985:
So what ive been reading is this true.

As long has the zip file is not damaged you should be ok flashing in recovery. So if I just check zip file befor flashing for error's I will be fine?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cruz0r:
Hey all!

I've spent some time on creating an infographic about hacking Android HTC's, which I made partly through the help of xda-developers, and I figured that I would try to return the favor to others xda-developers by posting it here.

Background:

I tried to root and "S-OFF" my HTC Desire and it resulted in the phone not booting anymore :P Having no experience in the Android hacking field at all, I was pretty much stuck, and then there's only one thing to do: Google up.

As I spent the next 4 hours getting a basic understanding of how Android phones work and what the different hacks and tools are, I needed a way to keep notes. Notepad wasn't going to cut it and I figured that a more 'attractive' method may serve as a good reference for other people who are interested in Android hacking. Adobe Illustrator it was.

I managed to get my phone working again but continued googling and asking smart people stupid questions to keep getting a better understanding of the subject. At this point I've learned everything that I wanted to learn. Not that I'm an expert but I know just enough about everything to fool others into thinking I am one :P I'm making the information public, if there are errors or omissions please inform me and I'll fix it.

Unless a friendly admin wants to add direct file links I'll describe how to find the 'infographic': Google for 'android hacking explained' and it should be among the first results. If not, add 'cruz' :P

[HTC Incredible S] xbanjarx:
So I have the Vivo_HTC_WWE Gingerbread and I'm trying to flash the radio to 20.2805.30.085au_3805.04.03.27_M. I've tried putting the PG32IMG.zip on the root of my SD card and it gets to a point where it says it's checking PG32IMG.zip but then it goes back to the main menu. I tried with a gold card but the same thing happened.

Anyone facing the same problem or have a solution?
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Do you have an S-ON device? Since only flashing a single radio file will fail since its not signed. Or maybe you a faulty download?

Just guessing
[HTC Incredible S] jheathco:
I have the same issue - created a gold card, copied the WWE ROM to PG32IMG.zip, gets to "checking..." after reboot then goes back to main menu. I tried to flash the entire ROM...

[Atrix 4G General] duedermont:
Today my phone fell out of my pocket and was ran over and the screen was completely crushed and ruined. The phone still works because I still hear it receiving calls, emails, and texts but I can't interact with the screen. I'm able to plug it into my computer and save the files off of it though.

What I really want to do is remotely control my phone through my computer so I can save my texts, do a titanium backup, and check my missed calls. Is there any program out there that can do this? BTW, I lost root when I updated so I cant use any programs that require root.
[Atrix 4G General] GavinMazey:
I'm pretty sure you could do this with the android sdk. Haven't used it myself but I remember seeing people with their phones screen mirrored I their pc. Also the phone screen is mirrored when your in the webtop.
[Atrix 4G General] duedermont:
Does the Android SDK require root to mirror my phone to my PC?
[Atrix 4G General] roharia:
I think trying to emulate the phone through SDK is your best bet...other than that I can't think of anything else...
[Atrix 4G General] GavinMazey:
I dont think it does but not entirely sure i've always rooted my phones as soon as I get them and dont have much experience with the sdk just know it can do it. Hopefully someone who knows better than me can help you out on how to get it working.
[Atrix 4G General] gregh2000:
use the webtop interface? it would let you use the phone without the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] duedermont:
I unfortunately do not have the laptop accessory for the Atrix. Unless there is alternative way to hook it up to my computer without having to install anything on my phone first?
[Atrix 4G General] gregh2000:
go to an att store and try it there? you might be able to use it to copy stuff to the card or do what you need.
[Atrix 4G General] Immix:
Search for a windows java program called androidscreencast. It would let your phone's screen show on your windows pc. You can then use your mouse to control the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Replace the screen and use the phone. They replace very easy.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright...reflashing..thanks so much guys.

Was this caused by overclocking to 1.3 GHz. Or by possibly using an app killer...?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
I don't think so cuz I ran my phone with the genocide kernel at 1.4 and never had problems. But if ur phone froze and u had to pull the battrey out it could cause data coruption but that's only if if u have jeronling off

The FC's could be from several things,OCing is the least likely...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Okay...good. The only thing OCing then was causing the phone to freeze and me pulling the battery a few times. I'll just stick to 1.2 GHz.

By the way, will any .zip files on my SD card be corrupted?

Because I have a boot animation on there and wanted to know if it'll still work..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
If you had journaling disabled the battery pulls probably corrupted ur app data.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Yeah, that's what I figured. I knew the second I bulled the battery something like this would happen. =\

How do I turn journaling on though? I really don't want to have to worry about this again!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Just do a back up in cwm then afterthat wipe 3x then restore and journaling will be back on
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
So:

1. Make a nandroid backup

2. Wipe everything (user data, cache, dalvik cache all x3?)

3. Restore

Done?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Yup
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright cool. Why is this though? Like, I'm just curious. Is there any reason why this makes it work? Also, what is the negative part of enabling journaling?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
I really don't know why it does that but it does. And there's no real negative to re enable journaling. Might be slightly slower but u won't be able to tell the diffrence
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright good to know. Since it's making a backup and I'm restoring it, I technically won't lose ANY data from this correct? Just making sure because I'm like getting everything the way it was again. (And almost done too! =D)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
When you go to restore a backup you don't need to wipe. It's the same outcome whether you wipe or not.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Mmkay, so just do a nandroid backup and restore? No wipe involved and everything should be the same except journaling is on?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Wtf guys, it's force closing things again!!!! D: Nooo!!!!

Edit: This time it's just the keyboards...wtf is going on? Is it because of the gingerbread keyboard I flashed? But then why would Swype be having problems?

Bleh I hope I don't brick it or make things worse... I'll try reflashing the rom, adding my Apps, backup and restore (no wiping right?), then flash other stuff like fixes and stuff. Should that work?
