If there is that rule I'm sure it won't extend to a different version of android. It would probably mean updating gingerbread for 18months.
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
SonyEricsson has said that all of their 2011 Xperia phones will get updated to ICS. When? I don't know.
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
Probably the same as Moto, A few month after the source is released :)
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Later it comes the better for me really, More apps would be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Indeed. I don't want to jump on the wagon too soon really. Let the bugs get sorted out first and proper support for most things one use. I don't want to be a beta tester!
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
There will be bugs in ICS, I think the face unlock may be a problem too with bad lighting or something, so let them get that sorted out before I decide to jump in, Looking forward to it though, I've always liked a nice Interface, the Timescape UI is nice I just hope Sony keep it as vanilla as possible because the original theme is nice with Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karfeef:
Hi all. I am currently using the overcome rom on my euro tab. Im trying to use a bluetooth headset for car dock apps such as google car home. The headsets I have tried both work very well on voice calls, but I can't seem to get them to work on the commands.

For example, vlingo has a wakeup command and an option to listen over bluetooth for the commands, but the app doesn't hear my command via the headset. Same thing with the voice search in google car home.

Anyone know what could be the issue?

Many thanks

This is for CDMA Sprint Nexus S 4G only!!!!

This will reload your NS4G back to its original state from the factory. This will take away root and erase ALL data.

This would be helpful if you phone won't boot or need to return it back to Sprint. This will take it back to stock.

Instructions:

Extract the zip file to your computer and then run setup.exe.

SamsungSimpleDL_D720(1.0.002).zip

about to test now...my **** is totally jacked.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Awesome, thanks for this
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Vandam500:
Can anybody report on how well this works?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
It worked for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Harshwardhan:
Will it work on I9020 ? I just flash it like any other ROM, right?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
No, this is for the Nexus S 4G by Sprint. CDMA only.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Harshwardhan:
Thanks :)

Link not working?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Should be. Anyone else having trouble?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
no not an issue at all. in fact im uploading to my host for mirroring :D

just curious on where/how you found this

Mirror
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Glad it's uploading.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ccrosno:
oK guys, this is not a flashable zip. You extract it to the computer and run the setup.exe inside the zip file.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
correct it has teh stock files in it, its a front end for odin.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] XxsydenxX:
No OSX version?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading this bad boy now hehe :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Thank you the safety net is under me now I'm going to jump!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ccrosno:
I am running this from Windows7. Do I need anything else? the interface keeps giving me an error when I press the download button. I have rebooted the computer and made sure no adb.exe files were running in windows. I have shut off my antivirus as well just in case.

Edit: Redid all the steps again. Shut down the Microsoft security client. and it is working fine now. I also copied the Samsung folder from Program Files X86 to Program Files X64 just in case it needed to be in both spots. I am running W7 X64. I remember the HTC drivers needed to be in both spots to operate correctly.

Edit:Edit - You will also have to reactivate the phone when the install is complete. Hope they dont charge me another activation fee.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Can be used in Odin

Also found out that you can use Odin to flash this. Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade for SPH-D720\Binary there is a tar file called SPH-D720_GRJ22_PDA.tar. You can put this into the PDA section in Odin and flash the ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Vandam500:
Haha good one!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ccrosno:
All done, seems to have worked fine but it does not remove custom recovery or lock the bootloader. I would assume that ADB oem lock will take care of that.

On another note, is the radio in this thing really that bad or do I just have a dud? I get 0 bars in my house and 0 to 1 bar out side. I have not seen more that 3 bars and that was in a Walmart. With my HTC hero I got 1 to 2 bars inside and 4 bars outside. Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
I think you can flash the bootloader and modem tar's via Odin. I would think that should lock the bootloader and install the radio/modem.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
recovery is in the tars.. so it should, here lemme upload the img file if you want to you can use fastboot to flash it

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I'm glad this finally turned up
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mhguy15:
Installs drivers perfectly fine, but when I get to the last step of starting the download I get an error.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mhguy15:
Any idea how one might obtain the pit file for our phone?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
the pit isnt needed, it pulls it from the phone.. only if you need to repartition (if you need to do that then holy crap what did you do??)

also odin is a fickle beast as this program is a a frontend for it, i imagine it suffers the same issues. best bet is to pull battery and try again.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mhguy15:
Thanks for the recovery image. Worked like a charm. Any possibility of extracting a system img and using fastboot to load it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
Mod request, would you please sticky this very important thread please?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Its that bad. Places i was getting 2 or 3 bars on the evo i get 0 with the ns. I almost never have more than one bar and im in a good coverage area.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ccrosno:
Ya I know. I just got back from Best Buy. I exchanged it for another one just to see if it was a dud or not. I get 4 bars in Best buy but at home, I am back to the same 0 bars. Someone should complain. I love this phone but If I can't make or receive calls, then what good is it. Dang antena :(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yea, its awful, but samsungs are known for there awful reception. I have an airave luckily so I get full bars at home, but only at home. Any where else I only ever have 1 bar on average.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zikronix:
some of that is aosp....aosp reports true levels where as sense does not
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] luckylui:
Ohhh nooo hopefully its not bad in my area cause I just spent 700 on this phone! I b pist.

Unbootable NS4G w/ no SD card access restored back to New

As to what I did to my phone while attempting to root it??? :confused: I have no idea! I have been rooting since October 2009 when the Sprint Hero came out, and my most recent phone has been the root friendly Evo 4G. So I'm not entirely new. As of this morning I had a 12 hour old Nexus S4G stuck at the Google splash, with an unlocked bootloader, CWR installed, but no access to the SD card so I could not do a nandroid restore :(

I've scoured the forums all day for a solution when I stumbled upon mention of Odin :rolleyes:

Long story short:

I thought a PIT file was necessary because I was reading the forums (got a little too much info).

For the benefit of anyone else:

My problems were:

A-phone would hang at Google splash screen with unlocked icon

B-was unable to access built-in SD card, could not do a nandroid backup

C-computer was not able to see SD card when I selected USB mount from within CWR

I tried the .exe provided in Post #1 but it kept giving me an error as soon as I would start the flashing process, so try this first. If it doesn't work - proceed with the following steps.

1. I downloaded the stock package provided by dalvarez7 in the first post of this thread: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nhk92y4l4n5no0s/SamsungSimpleDL_D720(1.0.002).zip

2. I flashed the recovery.img from shabbypenguin in Post #23: http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/stuff/Private/recovery.img

In Cmd line type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

3. downloaded the odin archive for our phones: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1I12DRUD

4. extract the Odin archive to its own folder

5. Start the .exe in the newly extracted folder containing Odin. For the corresponding buttons BOOTLOADER, PHONE, and PDA I pointed to the files that were installed by running the stock installer from Post #1: C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade for SPH-D720\Binary

**the directory where the files are located may vary depending on where you allowed it to install

6. Unplug your phone from your PC. Take out the battery for 2-3 seconds. Replace your battery. Set the phone to 'Download mode' by holding BOTH Volume Up & Volume Down buttons at the same time, and briefly press Power.

7. If you see the Yellow Triangle then you're ready to plug your phone in.

8. Odin should automatically detect the phone on a COM port and show a yellow square at the far left side if the phone has been detected.

9. Press start. You phone should automatically reboot to stock once the flash is complete. *Note-- you do NOT need a PIT file as explained earlier in this thread*

**I may make edits to this post if it is too confusing and I see multiple questions.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mhguy15:
It's True!! :mad: I noticed the same weak reception as soon as I walked out of the SPrint store.

I have an Evo and so does my friend who went with me. We compared service bars right away. I definitely wanted the NS4G, but if they don't release an update that fixes the reception - let's just say i'm in the 30 day window.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Just wanted to make sure, you got back to stock right?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Ill repeat my self....some of that is aosp....as sense does not report true
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
My epic had much better signal receive than my htc phones and it locked on 4g much easier than any other phone i've had. That's a shame too because I was expecting this phone to have the same good performing radio as the epic. sucks

When I would put the evo next to the epic and turn both 4g radios on, the Samsung would lock and connect and stay connected and the evo wouldn't connect at all.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] oubravs2b:
^^^What zikronix said. I thought the same when I had AOSP roms installed on my Evo at first. They set me straight :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
are you saying that CM7 on the evo gets the same reception as sense, its just shown different?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:
Does anyone have a link for odin? Not having luck with the exe provided. thanks

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Nice, I'm surprised they didn't release the source yet. Anyone email Samsung about it yet?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
ummm, I think source has been out for this man. I could be wrong, but pretty sure
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
kernel source is out, the binaries got released today. but no rom source isnt out yet

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jbeez:
Just wanted to chime in regarding signal, my tmo vibrant showed full signal, the actual dbm rating was about the same as on my nexus 4g, 4g shows 1 bar. Just check the numerical value don't rely on the bars

;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Your using 2 samsungs to make your comparison. Compared to other phones, the nexus s 4g, and most samsungs, get bad reception. Maybe aosp has a part in it, but you can't say the radio/antenna is not subpar. My 4g will not work in my house without my airave, period. My evo running cm7 did. Actually, every galaxy s phone has problems in my house, not just the 4g. I've had a fascinate, my brother has a vibrant. Neither work well, if at all. I live in a basement apartment so your phones service is really tested...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
Can someone take this and make a simple stock ROM? That'd be much appreciated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
I think this is what your are after. Mikeyinid did a great job making pretty much a stock version of this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
Awww, thanks man. I need the stock kernel and I will post a 100% stock rooted rom.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
Do like all the others do, make one stock rooted odex and deodex then you have both bases covered.

Making versions that are zip for cwm flash and ones with cwm included in tar for Odin would be icing on the cake!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrcharlesiv:
Yeah, the kernel is what I am after... I need to unroot and the only thing I'm missing to go straight back to stock is the kernel. This program is just giving me all kinds of pains.

Leave it to me to buy a defective model then root. :/
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] a2k:
+1 on the following two versions in ZIP format:

100% Stock Rooted ODEXED

100% Stock Rooted DEODEXED

This would be the best!!!!! :-)

100% Stock Rooted ODEXED + ZIPALIGNED!!!!

100% Stock Rooted DEODEXED + ZIPALIGNED!!!!

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chris378:
is it possible to create this into an update.zip? i have been searching everywhere for one that will wipe my phone and reload the correct files on my phone..i have semi bricked my phone. My phone does not have data or voice signal..also my phone will not connect to any computer. So im a sitting duck lol only option for me is to find a update.zip that can be flashed through stock recovery that does the same thing Odin will do..Any ideas? Please Help I'll donate to whoever finds a way to workaround this semi brick
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
have you tried running the tool for the d720?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chris378:
yes but no computer will recognize my phone
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
when you install the program, go into program files samsung, there is a driver folder with a setup.exe in it, run that and it should work :D
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chris378:
lol ive tried it..Im thinking i flashed the wrong software on my phone so it has messed up my system files..so i need everything on my phone wiped and the original files installed..bad thing is no computer will recognize my phone and i do not and cannot install CWM..only option is, is to install a update.zip through stock recovery. Is it even possible?

I have read and followed this, as well as tried the SamsungSimpleDL.

SamsungSimpleDL extracted, phone connecte with Downloading yellow triangle, will not work.

Followed above directions - I used Superboot (possibly wrong phone program) my phone is in exact state - shows Google with Unlock button on bottom. When I go to cmd and try to type, it states "not recognized as internal or external command", so basically phone is unlocked and empty.

I have Odin open, yellow com port, but cannot point to files as in step 5 above. I am not able to extract these files, or need another way. I am very familiar with Odin, ran Epic and know how to do this (has saved my butt before as well as upgrades from Day 1), so I am really stuck.

Can someone help with commands to either work magic in cmd, and or point at right info to make Odin work.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nmoreman:
IT WORKED - YEAH - Odin is wonderful, never could figure out why people didn't like it.

I had tried to point it at Samsung file, but had to keep digging into computer (mine was in different area in C), to find and open. They were in Samsung under Binary (not an area I normally look in). Once I put in bootloader and PDA, didn't recognize Pit, nor as noted, didn't need, mine ran in less than 5 minutes, cleared and worked just like the Epic's Odin.

I have kept all these files noted, away from everything I used to unlock, just in case. I'm not sure if I'm unlocked, and don't care. I had a brick and thanks to you guys, its works.

So follow the above copied post, and if it doesn't work, keep trying, it will, and ask questions. These guys are great!!

I found myself in the same predicament this morning! I think I was restarting my phone to upgrade to NS4G DeoDexed/Accurate batt v.5 via cwm but for some reason when I tried to get into recovery, all I got was exclamation triangle android :(. On my quest to fix my phone, I came across this post, got to step 2 and then rebooted just to see if I could regain access to usb storage long enough to pull various files and backups before returning the phone to stock and it worked! USB storage turned out to be completely nuked but at least I had access to it again! :D I did end up finishing up with ODIN before re-rooting from square one, but I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened :confused:. I'm definitely going to be making external backups of my backups from now on -_-"
