I don't have an Ipad 2, just the first one.

I returned my 10.1v, it became a brick.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bizuca:
What happened ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] myself11:
As a stated on another thread, I played around for half an hour. Due to a lot of forced closes on browser, decided to turn off the device. It froze on "Do you want to shut down?".

Pressed a couple of times the power button and the first screen "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1v" appeared, but it never passed from there.

Tryed power + vol down and entered unlock mode with no problems. Pressed the power button to get out and restart, but same issue ocurred. The only way to turn it off is power + volume up and down for 10 secs.

I think even charging was affected, because when I plugged it, the symbol of a battery appeared, but nothing happened afterward.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bcmobile:
Sounds to me like....

early adopters penalty! :)

Are you getting it replaced? I'm sure it was just a dodgy unit. I've not heard of anyone else with that issue - the only issue that I know of is the light-bleed issue for which Vodafone AU have been replacing them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] myself11:
I know of 2 Tabs here in Portugal whose screen, after 4 days of normal use, started malfunctioning. An error like mine, I never heard of it, not even in another tabs' fora.

I got a refund. Imagine if it happened again... The store might say I've been messing with something or trying to install custom Rom (there isn't any, I know eheh). My unit had bleeding too, I think they all have.

OK so I'm commingle from the epic and I want to root for titanium but I've seen there is different varrent and different ways to root what meatod will work and I have looked and searched before I get the plaza use search I just don't want to brick using wrong root meathod thank you in advance for who ever is willing to help

[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Do you have SDK and working fastboot? That is step one.
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Yep
[Nexus S General] joebags:
*note* i did not develop this method entirely i scrapped it together from multiple posts found here on xda. I give credit to those who did the work first. it worked fine for me hopefully it works for you too.

download sdk tools and install

download fastboot drivers and install

both found here

after that, download clockwork recovery

also download superuser files you want eclair/froyo su it works for gingerbread too.

open command prompt and enter the following

fastboot devices

if it doesn't return your phone in the following line double check that your fastboot drivers are properly installed.

if it does enter the following

fastboot oem unlock

follow the onscreen prompt on your phone. volume up to "yes" and hit power to confirm

Your phone is now unlocked. next step installing a recovery.

navigate to the folder where the clockwork recovery image is located.

cd C:\users\#username#\downloads

or wherever the file is on your pc.

then enter the following

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img

you now have a proper recovery installed on your phone you may now vol dn to recovery and hit power to confirm

VERY IMPORTANT

in recovery vol dn to "backup and restore" power to confirm

select Backup and hit power again.

you just created a nandroid backup of your phone if you ever mess it up you can restore it back to when it was stock and problem free :)

In recovery vol dn to "mounts and storage" power to confirm

then choose "Mount USB storage"

copy the SU zip to the root of your phone's storage

then "Unmount"

then "+++++Go Back+++++"

then "install zip from sdcard"

then "choose zip from sdcard"

Choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

then select "Yes - Install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"

Reboot your phone and you should now have a stock rooted phone.

Ty Joe I will do this as soon as I get home
[Nexus S General] netarchy:
It's really *really* hard (if not damn near impossible) to actually brick a nexus-s. Just so ya know ;D
[Nexus S General] tildog:
That is good to know I had a few scares on my epic I know how to do stuff but on the epic was always a onclick meathod so this looks a little overwhelming in comparison but easyenof otherwise
[Nexus S General] netarchy:
Just remember to make a nandroid backup in clockwork after you're done rooting, so you always have a working setup to fall back on if something should go wrong in the future :D
[Nexus S General] joebags:
i just came from the evo and rooted that phone way before any one click roots where out. Trust me the nexus s is 100 times easier to root than any other phone it's actually pretty quick and easy, i just went into great detail so anyone could be able to follow it hopefully. I think i have seen some 1 click roots for the ns but i never looked into them once i saw how relatively pain free it is to do this way.

i remember having to copy and paste adb commands and spamming them while my phone rebooted. and hopefully... hopefully it would unlock the evo.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
just out of curiousity as i wont know until tomorrow, but does gingerbreak work? if so just using the sdk and using adb to push it seems like it would be faster..
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Yes there has been success using that. You could i suppose gain root with gingerbreak and then use that to flash clockwork recovery. You would be rooted and able to flash Roms through clockwork. Bootloader would remain locked.
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Thanks all. I'll try this later tonight and report back. I've seen a few root methods around here but wanted to make sure it was no different for the ns4g before I actually got into it.

So to confirm one more time ;) Joe's method he posted here should work for the ns4g as well, right?
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
Yea but its a quick and easy way to root. Until there is more support for the ns4g no real reason to unlock
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Yeah for sure, I'm not saying its good or bad. Just pointing out the difference in that method. Some people prefer to keep the bootloader locked anyway. Unlocking it is always one command line away.
[Nexus S General] netarchy:
Not totally sure regarding roms, but my latest kernel builds *should* be compatible ;D

(Disclaimer: always nandroid before flashing customs!!)
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
cool thanks for the support man :D
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Running into an issue on ns4g. I can unlock and install Clockwork 3.0.0.5 but when I try to Nand backup it says it can't find cache. I've tried to manually mount it but won't do it there either. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] netarchy:
Install clockwork 3.0.2.4

Make sure you've renamed the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script (if you haven't already) as well so clockwork isn't overwritten by the stock recovery.
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Good to go I think - thanks netarchy!

So for you all that are trying to follow joe's steps, they are correct except the download linked in his post will give you the 3.0.0.4 version of Clockwork and you need the one referenced by netarchy (3.0.2.4). All worked as planned after that.

Rooted and ready to flash netarchy's kernel on ns4g!

Mines rooted but don't have that file to renamerename
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
My rooted and unrooted my EVO so many times but I'm having trouble rooting my NS4G... It says install the drivers and sdk? How do I do that? I donwloaded the files but once I click on them it says need internet to open these files. Can someone post a method thats easy reading for those who don't know how to install drivers and sdk?
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Have to have a program that can read .rar files (either WinRAR or 7zip will work). Then just follow the guide by joe. Once you get those programs, here's a link that walks you through the ADB install.

http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/

I did run into an issue installing the drivers, but I followed another thread in the Dev forum that helped. Found it. Here it is - start with the red wording.

BTW - use the SDK in joe's post, not in the link I provided. And use the Clockwork version netarchy quoted. It's around here somewhere...can't find it again though.

Caught that dudenstein! Thanks!
[Nexus S General] a2k:
Beautiful, thank you!!!! Could you provide us with an easy unroot, return to stock please.
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
How the hell do I install the drivers? I downloaded them. Shut my phone down. Pressed volume up + power and found "android 1.0" in device manager. What do I do after that?!
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
i used pdanet to install them, makes it quick and painless
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
What is that and how do I do it?
[Nexus S General] joebags:
In device manager right click on Android 1.0 and click update drivers

unzip the drivers file i posted originally and tell windows to search that folder for drivers.

or PDAnet will install the drivers for you automatically like shabbypenguin said
[Nexus S General] spdwiz18:
process went flawless once recovery link was updated. i hit the thanks button and ill say it too. Thank you . now its time to have some fun.:cool:
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
Okay I've downloaded PDANet on my phone what do I do now? I've never used this before?! Thanks a lot. I feel like a dumbass coming from being a pro with my EVO... :(

[Nexus S General] mazodude:
In the instructions it will tell you how to do that....

Have you got the sdk installed?
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
I keep hitting thanks instead of QUOTE! I'm reinstalling sdk
[Nexus S General] mazodude:
lol.

follow my instructions on how to install the sdk. (note: they will differ slightly with the install path)

(download the sdk from google, more upto date).
[Nexus S General] Brutus2TheMax:
Alright just to make sure, I open SDK file and double click, "SDK Manager" to install correct?!
[Nexus S General] mazodude:
yep.

all you need to download is:

Android SDK Tools

Android SDK Platform-tools <- download this first
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
I jumped around between this post and the one on how to root with a mac. I had to pull the battery like four times because I kept forgetting to rename the recovery reinstall script. For some reason I couldn't get the computer to see the usb "card" in cwm when mount usb storage was chosen. I tried rebooting, reinstalling recovery, and rebooting the computer. I finally just said f-it and booted into the phone regular and copied su flashable over then reinstalled cwm again and long story short, I finally finished it.

I hope this phone turns out to be okay, I traded my beloved evo for this phone. Oh, btw, the program in the market called noled works great, after messing around with the settings and sending yourself texts with google voice and stock messaging and email and crap. It's not straightforward but I got it to show the app's icon on the screen when I get a text or voicemail or gv text. I didn't like the program's stock icons so I messed around until I finally got it. Lack of notification led taken care of...

Oh yeah, I still had a folder with all the adb and fastboot crap from my epic days and after copying the recovery img there, everything else was simple. I used the epic aio 2.04 with fastboot thrown in I found somewhere else.
[Nexus S General] mazodude:
You have to wait a little while before it pops up on your computer (say 1min or so)
[Nexus S General] DominoDoug:
Hopefully I don't ever need to bring my NS4G in for warranty, but say I do and want to get the original recovery image back. Can I just unlock the bootloader again or is there somewhere I can locate the original recovery? For whatever reason my recovery is sticking through reboot and such where I saw that others were having issues.
[Nexus S General] humdrum2009:
Also having issues with usb mount

Having issues with usb mount not mounting sd card

I have all drivers installed and did everything up to this point:confused:
[Nexus S General] dnquark:
I'm having major issues with this. First, usb mount in clockwork is not working, but you can get around by pushing the file to /sdcard before you put the phone in fastboot.

The main thing, though, is that after I reboot I can't get into recovery -- it gets stuck at the exclamation mark screen. If I flash recovery again (fastboot flash recovery ....), I can get into clockwork just fine, but after a reboot, it's gone. I did rename the install-recovery.sh, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference. Any help?..

Edit: I got the recovery to stick by using the ROM Manager app. It still doesn't allow me to mount USB storage though.
[Nexus S General] brokentoaster24:
got my nexus s 4g today. got it unlocked but can't flash clockworkmod :/

every attempt returns "error: can't load recovery.img"

anyone have ideas? i'm currently updating my sdk, it's a little outdated.
[Nexus S General] dnquark:
For some reason, I had to be in the same directory as recovery.img, otherwise it would give me errors. Other than that, I have no suggestions other than trying to flash via the ROM manager app...
[Nexus S General] 903tex:
how do you rename the recovery img? I got everything else to work. but when i boot phone back and try to get to recover it the stock recovery. So what shall i do now any help PLZ!

Update

Just reflashed it and put the zip file before doing this all over again and then used rom manager to flash the right clockwork and backup finally saved everything! But mount usb doesnt work

Funny though cause evo, epic, and now nexus mount usb never worked for me using clockwork recovery.
[Nexus S General] 903tex:
Its still not going to clockwork through the fastboot menu. But rom manager says its still there and I can reboot to the clockwork recovery and flash and make a backup with rom manager???
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
Thanks bro. Worked good after I got a few kinks figured out.

A simple search would have found you this thread but here is a link, there is also a video in the OP that will guide you through everything http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250583
[Nexus S General] NDIrish10:
Thank you. Video is a great resource. Now I have to learn how to back up before rooting so that I do not loose all of my contacts (which I think I could just sync to my gmail account) and my apps. Also just in case I want to go back to stock/unrooted.
[Nexus S General] onigiri1692:
As long as you have your phone synced with google your contacts will be backed up and restored once you sign into your google account on your newly rooted phone, for a little extra security you can always export your contacts from the contacts menu. Same with the apps, google knows what apps you have and will automatically download and install all of the apps which you have downloaded from the market (once you root you can use apps like Titanium Backup to restore apps). Just be warned when you root your entire phone will be wiped (including the internal sdcard) so backup all the data you want to keep onto your computer. Luckily once you're rooted you don't have to worry about the sdcard as it stays intact whenever you install a new rom. Good luck, rooting is very easy to do and seems much more intimidating then it actually is, once you are done you will be asking yourself why you didn't do it sooner. And if you are looking for a good resource on how to do things once you are rooted check out qbking77's other very helpful noob friendly videos.
[Nexus S General] NDIrish10:
Once again, thank you for your assistance. I greatly appreciate it. I was hoping to do it today, at work, but forgot my cable. Will do it tomorrow. Hope you are here if I need further assistance (of course if you are available).

i personally recommend amon ra recovery for this phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sevag00:
I waited like an hour, but it didn't boot to the rom. It was stuck on the android screen. I also can't access to the recovery with home+power buttons, it boots automatically to the rom, which gets stuck.

I wanted to try the Clockworkmod recovery, because it gets so much praise. I guess i was wrong. I tried flashing back my old recovery which is the amon ra recovery, and still have the same issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Clockworkmod isn't compatible with your phone. You need a special recovery as your radio has a different MTD partition scheme. Try this one out.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sevag00:
Well, stupid me. before you posted. I tried unrooting my device through the HBOOT method using the sappimg.nbh and i got "wrong device id" error. Now my phone has the stock radio and hboot and it is s-on. When i try booting to the rom it get stuck on the vodacom screen. I only have access to bootloader. i don't know what has happened to my phone right now but i just need to root it again somehow, flash a custom recovery. I already have a nandroid recovery of my old rom.

EDIT: I didn't create a goldcard, because i can't boot to the rom, so i don't have access to adb.

Hi, I'm using android Gingerbread (SD) and was downloading some apps from the market when my phone ran out of battery. Now when I reboot there is a constant notification in the notification bar which says that my download is in progress, but the progress bar doesn't move, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Even tried rebooting, but it doesn't change
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Capt.PP:
Go to Market and uninstall those apps and then install it again. If the apps already installed but the Market is still saying it's in downloading progress, then download Easy Uninstaller to uninstall it and then install the apps from the Market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I went to the market and it shows the apps on 'My Apps' as Free (as opposed to installed, like the rest of the apps). Oddly though, I only tried to download 3 apps, but in the notification bar it shows the apps I was trying to download 'and 8 more' ?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Capt.PP:
Anything that you downloaded from the Market will listed under My apps. Sometime the ROM that you installed have preloaded apps and the Market regconized that under My apps as well. Follow the steps on the above post if the Market got confused on the downloading/stuck/updating apps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Market and clear data and cache. Then it should stop constantly always downliading those apps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I don't quite understand what you mean, but I've left wifi on for a while and it now has reduced the number from 8 to 6 apps to download. I have not got any notifications that they were installed but hopefully it will just clear all the downloads. Only problem is that if the screen turns off it stops downloading, so I have to leave the screen on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Its in your phones settings under applications. That happens sometimes when ur phone dies with apps being downloaded. Just click on the things i said in the order i listed them and the downliading aops should go away instantly
