My suggestion of what I would do is this. Find a windows computer somehow. Go to the development section and look for the sticky about rooting the ns4g. Look for the link to flash the d720 back to stock. Download all those files to a flash drive. Take the drive to the windows computer and set things up then flash the phone back to out of the box stock.

Then you can go back to the Mac and do the root and 3024 cwm recovery and rename the sh file that puts stock recovery back in at boot time. After all this you can do what you want but I would suggest staying with the stock experience. This might be extreme to fix this but in my opinion, I wouldn't waste time trying to fix it, especially since you are new to this. It's like computers, yeah you could try to fix it but you could be opening a can of worms. It might take less wasted time putting it back to complete stock instead of f-ing around trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it. You could take hours trying to fix an install of windows that keeps falling on it's face, or you could format and install windows fresh and new in maybe thirty minutes. Which is easier?

CM7 will not work at the moment because it still uses 2.3.3, go find instructions for a 2.3.4 Nandroid. if you want though,i heard that supeaosp works on a ns4g.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Dude, you can't flash regular Nexus S ROMs on the Nexus S 4G.

Reflash the latest clockwork recovery.

Use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then...

Go to recovery, mount the USB storage, and put this zip on the usb storage:ROM

Go to recovery and flash that zip
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
here's the recovery that works. cwm and stock. How many times is this going to happen with new people and this phone in this forum section before a new subsection is made? We are going to be putting out a lot of these unnecessary fires with people making first time mistakes until something is done so as to not confuse them. Some don't realize that there are different versions of the same phone that aren't necessarily compatible with each other.

The way things are set up now, it isn't making this problem go away. I think that a different method should be tried if the current one isn't working too well. I'm flogging a dead horse now......
[Nexus S General] TonyArmstrong:
I'm looking to root my new NS4G as well -- and do it right the first time. On a Mac as well.

If the similarly-suited OP had issues I'm a bit more skeptical about my effort.

A separate forum might be necessary so people with the D720 hardware don't have near-brick experiences.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordesky1:
I been telling my atrix too not update too the new olyfr because i want my atrix too be rooted.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
you can even install the latest, use gingerbreak to root.

I just thought sense its related too root it belongs into the dev thread, But a mod can move it if they want too if they want:)

And again sorry, But its not like the world is going too end because of this mistake i made.

All it takes is a mod too come by and move it if they want.

But ya got my atrix on 4.1.5.7 rooted:)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Did you root with Glad? If so and you haven't done any mods just accept the update and run afterupdate.bat again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordesky1:
I was going too make a new thread my next question but decided this thread should do.

I finally got the system updater message on the atrix too pop up for the 1.83 too show, But before i update too that, I wanted too ask that when i update too it i know root will work on it but what about any future mods or hacks? And can i downgrade back too the old ones if i wanted?

Thanks:)
[EVO 4G General] KINGOFNOOBS:
Anyway to have the phone make a sound (other than the vibrate) when you place and end a call? Perhaps with tasker?
[EVO 4G General] IconBoy:
Try Call End Tone from Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tomatox.callendtone) or ask on the Tasker forums (https://groups.google.com/group/tasker/topics).

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
Hello everyone,

I saw this question over and over around so I decided to post a quick guide here.

After I installed the insecure kernel on my SGS2, to allow me to root, I did a series of quadrant tests. And after comparing 10 runs with the 10 runs I did prior to root, I ended up with the impression that I lost about 200-400 points per run. The tests were not entirely conclusive, since the margin is not big (compared with the total). Regardless, I still wanted to try to squeeze out every bit of performance I can out of this beast. That's when I decided to re-flash the original stock kernel.

What you will need, is basically the same thing you did to gain root, but with another kernel.

Make sure you know what you are doing. I am not responsible if you do it wrong and brick your phone.

1. First download the stock kernel:

You can find the stock kernels here: http://nma.usk.bz/sgs2.php

DO NOT UNTAR THE FILE. Leave it as it is.

2. Now open Odin and put your phone in Download mode

3. IMPORTANT: Make sure that "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" are check. And that EVERYTHING else is UNchecked.

4. Load the .tar file on the PDA field. Just click on "PDA" and open the file.

5. Click "Start"

Done, you are back to your stock kernel and will keep root. This does not revert what you already installed (su, SuperUser, busybox, etc).

If you have any questions, post it here.

UPDATES:

- Added XWKE7 stock kernel (05/21/2011)
[Galaxy S II General] Raspster:
Hi uskr, I think this may be the same file in this top post in this thread which is what I just flashed to but thanks for this anyway.

Thank you for pointing it out. I had a hard time finding it when I needed. Hope this helps more people out there.

This one is from the original stock rom downloaded from kies. I just extracted the zImage.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
I no this is not relevant To stock kernel but if i update my phone to newest firmware this will work the same way,?

also there is a overclock kernel out if i want overclock kernel after i update to new firmware i would need to flash the root kernel then flash the overclock kernel to beable to have my phone run newest firmware with overclock kernel that is rooted.?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
When we update to XWKE1, flash the unsecure KDD Kernel, root, how do we get back to KE1 Kernel?

Can you point on how to extract it?
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
+1

How can we extract only the kernel from a stock firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] walda:
I googled a lot and figgured out that this way should be the right.

* Flash new Firmware via ODIN (.tar File)

* Root with old KDD Kernel

* Open the FW .tar File

* Delete all except "zImage"

* Flash new .tar file via Odin

That should it be. Am not sure but :D

Will try when i got 100% and backuped my sdcard ;)
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
So we have to delete all the files in the tar, except "zImage". I found a guide to do it, but for the *.rar, I tried with the *.tar but it didn't work

http://xona.com/2006/07/05c.html
[Galaxy S II General] clefster:
Thanks. The kernel I used to root I think introduced an intermittent mic issue during calls.. now I'm back to the standard kernel and no more issue.
[Galaxy S II General] BuzzFuzz:
Thanks dude
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
The warning triangle should be gone.

Try to reflash again and see if it helps. Did you flash anything else?

Lastly, which "brand" is your phone? This is for the XEU branded phone. If you have O2 or Korean versions, you will need a different stock kernel. I can get them for you.

To check your brand, type on your phone: *#272*<your IMEI>#

You can find your IMEI number on: Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Status .
[Galaxy S II General] dxdiag32:
you can extract from the .tar and then tar it under linux use this command ：

tar -cf zImage filename.tar

or google "tar for windows" then you can run it under windows:)

and then ,you can get a tar contains zImage and you can flash it by odin:)
[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
I confirm, the warning triangle was gone :D
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
Updated with a link to the new firmware kernel XWKE1, in case you are running it.

[Galaxy S II General] paranoid2007:
Hi, thanks. But there's something wrong with the KE2 Kernel. In the zip there is only a zimage file. I tried converting this file to a tar archieve. However flashing the tar in Odin didn't work. Can someone please upload a working tar file?
[Galaxy S II General] Matchstick:
The KE2 kernel file I downloaded was the tar itself rather than the tar contained in a zip.

Using the file as downloaded in odin worked fine.
[Galaxy S II General] sleeco:
Hi, I checked my brand after flashing the insecure tar, and it shows DBT (it starts boot German ) so can you tell me what i need to download to get back to UK settings.

Hi, i've just flashed the I9100XWKE1_I9100XXKDJ_I9100OXXKE1_HOME.TAR witch is on Samfirmware (for France)

But i don't have the original kernel to flash over the rom after the root.

I don't want to flash the Xeu kernel because it is for UK.

I tried to delete the winrar files to keep only the Zimage file on this rom, but I can't delete anything.

I would be happy to know how to create the kernel.tar for the different firmwares

Or if someone could do it for me ?:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] hakkinenvthh:
7zip can delete some files in the tar. Google for it, totally free
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
Please read the original post carefully. The file is not a zip, it is a tar. And you should NOT UNtar. Leave it as it is, with the .tar extension, and use that tar file on Oding. Just follow the instructions.
[Galaxy S II General] veepee78:
Total Android noob here.. I could use KE2 (NEE) kernel for restocking after root. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] darkninja157:
This should be blatantly obvious to anyone who read and followed the instructions to root, but since this is a how-to may I suggest you reiterate that the phone needs to be in download mode to flash using Odin.

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled, power down phone, hold home+volume down+power, select using volume up, finally plug phone into computer.

Last thing you need is people complaining it fails by forgetting to put the phone into download mode. Also thanks for the quick and easy guide. Good to know that flashing the kernel will not affect user installed apps and settings.
[Galaxy S II General] cigaro78:
QTF, as a noob that was my worry. Thank you
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
I flashed the KE2 stock kernel and odin said the process was successful but the phone still says it has root@dell101 ...

Where does it says that? "About Phone"?

Thats is the user/host where Samsung built their kernel. It doesn't mean anything but that. You are fine.
[Galaxy S II General] dazzer1975:
Hi,

Wonder if you can help me.

I have rooted the phone and now want to reflash a stock kernel to maintain root but lose the yellow warning triangle on boot.

I checked your link out but am unsure which to download. I went into Kies and am suggested to download the update:

PDA:KE2/PHONE:KDJ/CSC:KD1/XEU

obviously the ke2 on your link is the new stock firmware, the ke1 is the previous version which I was using but I am unsure which I should pick, wether I should just update through kies or if it really matters which I choose?
[Galaxy S II General] dazzer1975:
did the kies method and lost root, so rerooted and now gonna reflash with the xwkdd in your download list.

lets see if root remains lol

success, any useless noobs like me around leave kies alone if rooted and want to merely reflash to get rid of the warning triangle lol
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
Kies updates a whole bunch of other stuff that You want to keep updated. Those new updates are actually pretty solid. Samsung is doing a great job on them. Everytime Kies tells you there is an update, just do the following:

- Update via Kies (you will loose root, but all other data will be safe)

- Reroot using the insecure kernel from the Chainfire thread.

- Come back here and download the Stock kernel for that latest update (currently KE2)

- Flash the Stock kernel

You will have everything at the latest version with the latest kernel and rooted, after those steps.

So if you just did a Kies update to KE2 rom, you can use the Stock KE2 kernel now. No need to go back to KDD.
[Galaxy S II General] dazzer1975:
You sir, are an officer and a gentleman, many thanks for helping me with your info, very much appreciated!!
[Galaxy S II General] cliffahn:
@uskr

Is there any way you could get your hands on the Korean stock kernel for me?

I use the SKT version so for that I'd need kernel version

M250S.EE05

I have the firmware, but if I flash that I lose root..

So is there any way to extract the kernel from the firmware? or do I just have to try and find it on my own?
[Galaxy S II General] uskr:
Do you have the .tar rom, or did you update through Kies?

If you do have the Odin .tar for the ROM, it's really easy to do it. Just run on your computer (if it is a linux/mac):

$ mkdir tmp

$ cd tmp

$ tar xf /path/to/rom_file.tar

$ ls

Check if the 'ls' command returns the list of files and if there is a file named "zImage". If so, continue with the commands:

$ tar cf StockKernel.tar zImage

Done, the "StockKernel.tar" file will be the Odin stock kernel file.

If you do not have a linux/mac, or don't know anything of what I just wrote, it's cool. Just let me know and I will get if for you.
[Galaxy S II General] cliffahn:
Well I managed to get the zImage file out and tar it as it's own separate file, but Odin keeps getting stuck at zImage... any fixes for this? I had no problem flashing the insecure XDD kernel... maybe I'm doing the tar-ing wrong?

I attached the torrent for the full firmware. Could you see whats wrong?

Sorry I didn't answer you before. I will check that for you and post the link for the kernel here.

Is it really helpful to flash back the Stock Kernel? I mean does it really matter to improve performance? Only reason of flashing back stock kernel I knew was to get rid of the Yellow triangle on boot till now.

I'm also having the same problems. Yellow triangle is gone, but when I go into CWM I cannot flash the zImage to remove the Signature Verification...To note, I have flashed the stock Kernal, that's when the triangle has disappeared. But when I boot into CWM, there is no option to "Flash".

I ordered mine from newegg as well and experienced the EXACT SAME issue and ended up RMA'ing with newegg. If you can please hold off on doing that though for just a few days I can contact Hai, an Asus technician who worked with me, and inform him of your issue. He really wanted my particular device in his hands to work on but I rma'd too soon with newegg. I plan on calling Hai tomorrow evening. PM me your phone number for the time being and i can give it to Hai if you feel comfortable.

Also; it took about a week from when Newegg received my device to it being refunded back to my bank account. Hai may be able to make that turnover a bit quicker and allow you to receive a replacement thus saving you from having to wait for a new one.

P.S.S. - There is no solution other than RMA for the bricked devices.

I am an Android newbie here, but my god this seems difficult!

I am trying to take songs off either my usb flash drive or the memory card and put them onto the hard drive of the tab. Why the hell is this so difficult?! I must be really missing something here...

I can find the MP3 files on the devices but I have no clue how to get them into the "music" app on the tablet or even just somewhere onto the tablet itself. Any ideas here? And sorry if I sound like a complete idiot...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedoig:
The media scanner will find songs on any attached storage. If you really want the songs on internal storage, use a file explorer to move them from /Removable/MicroSD to /SDcard

Edit - sorry for being brief. I'm writing from my TF...

It might take a bit, but the system will eventually scan all attached storage for media. Also, the way storage is mounted varies widely and is not always intuitive. In the case of the TF, the internal storage is mounted as /sdcard and a microSD in the tablet is mounted as /removable/microsd. Not sure what other storage is mounted as, I dont have a dock yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npompei:
Thanks for the quick response. I had nothing pop up when I put in either Microsd, SD or my flash drive. So the "media scanner" ain't working?

And I just went to the app store and downloaded a file explorer, but now I cant find any of the drives?!

This is friggin painful! I was using filemanagerhd and could see the mp3's but there is now way to copy them onto the hardrive?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
there are no drives in android. the filesystem is organized as a tree and as such, everything is attached to the root or "/"

off the top of my head the internal storage is in

/sdcard

while microsd is in

/Removable/microsd

if you don't see your microsd, it didn't get recognized for one reason or another
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
also why the hell are you downloading a file explorer when one is included.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
Yeah, use the built in file manager. Most of the ones on the market are designed for the phone variant of Android and restrict you to only being able to view the /sdcard folder.

Also, make sure you're actually correctly inserting the SD/MicroSDs (i.e. pushed in all the way and not upside down, etc).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
First, how the heck are you even connecting an SD card or USB drive? If you're using the gender charger, I wouldn't count on that.

When inserting your microsd card, do you get a message that it's preparing media and then an icon in your system tray? If not, it's not seeing your card correctly. You should be able to open the file manager from there.

The easiest way I've found to put files on my device is by buying a program named "Wifi Explorer Pro." It was only 0.99 and it lets you open a web browser and upload files to your device over your wifi network. The only thing that isn't great is I can't find a way to select multiple files.

Otherwise, I think you can copy files with the file manager by selecting them and doing a long press. You can then navigate to the folder you want them copied to and paste them.

When I first got my device I just put my microsd card in a sd card adapter, plugged it into my laptop, copied over a bunch of media files and the next time I put the card in the Transformer they showed up.

That's the way it should work... Also, have you updated to the latest firmware from Asus' site? In addition, a reboot never hurts. Usually. :D
