[Nexus S General] TonyArmstrong:
OK, so I just got my Nexus S4G two days ago, and I'm ready to root. My phone out of the box has 2.3.4 on it.

I follow this tutorial: http://www.droidfiles.us/nexus-s-4g/root-nexus-s-4g/ the link to which was provided by a good XDA'er. I get the bootloader unlocked and install CWR (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img) and that goes fine.

That's when things stop going fine. :)

First, I try to create a Nandroid backup, and that process seemingly completes fine until i note that the process says it couldn't mount /data. I don't worry about it.

So, I go to Mounts and Storage to prepare to push SuperUser.zip and I tell CWR to "Mount USB Storage" and I wait as directed, but the USB storage never mounts. I try mounting USB Storage and mounting /sdcard, neither of which work, so I can't push SuperUser.zip.

Figuring I did something wrong, I decide to restore from Nandroid, only to have CWR tell me that the MD5 checksum is incorrect and now I have no clean, base Nandroid to restore to. :mad:

Then I do some digging, and discover that there's a new CWR for the NS4G at Koush's site and I download the file (recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.0-crespo4g.img) from there, push it to my phone using fastboot's recovery command and start it up.

It doesn't work.

Clicking any of the options (like mounting partitions, or restarting/powering down the phone) causes the screen to go blank and just display the CWR logo in the middle of the screen. The only solution to get out of those loops is to pull battery and restart.

So, now, I'm wondering what to do.

I go back into fastboot, relock the bootloader and I now wait for a reliable root method to root a 2.3.4 NS4G on a Mac.

My questions are:

Where can I get a stock ROM to completely start over from scratch and even remove the recovery I've installed <-- found a base ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

Is there a fully reliable way to root the NS4G on a Mac, and if so how? (I've looked at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878446 and it looks problematic as well).
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
Look in the dev section, stickies at top, the one talking about ns4g cdma. You have the su zip already. Put the cwm 3024 img file in the same directory as fastboot. You won't use adb. Boot into bootloader and do the fastboot command to unlock. Phone is wiped. Boot into phone normally and log in with gmail. On the phone, mount the device as usb so you can just copy the su zip to the root of the sd card.unmount phone on the Mac side then the phone side. Boot phone into bootloader. Do the command to fastboot the cwm into the phone again. Once finished, choose recovery on bootloader. It will boot into cwm. Choose install zip from card. Choose pick zip. Install su. Reboot into normal phone. Download busybox and a file manager you like that can handle root. With file manager, go to /system/etc and look for the sh file mentioned in the guide and add .old to the end of the file. If su pops up asking for permissions then you know everything is working. Boot into bootloader again. Install cwm again then choose recovery again. Once in cwm do wipe of caches and factory reset and dalvik. Go back and do backup with nandroid. Boot into normal phone. Sign into google again. Update profile and prl them you should be set. Pretty much that's what I did and it worked the first time around.

Follow the Mac guide in the link
[Nexus S General] TonyArmstrong:
I'm going to give your method a try. Thank you for your rapid response...

I see the subtle change you suggested: simply rebooting after unlocking and pushing recovery, and moving SU to the device via USB. Wish I'd thought of that.

(I'm still concerned about the Nandroid issue I reported. But I'll have to avoid any new ROMs for the time being, until I can get an answer for my Nandroid problem...)
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
My first nandroid choked. After root and final recovery install, I cleared all the caches it was *****ing about the first time, went in normally to make sure everything was okay, then went back and nandroid and no errors the second time. I probably will just stay with rooted stock but I would not flash other stuff until the dust settles and many of the bugs are worked out of the roms and kernels before jumping in.
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
If cwm mount won't work then boot into the phone normally and copy over the file like usual is the only other quick and easy way to do it that I could think of at the moment the snafu happened. Yeah the way I did it might not have been the most efficient way but it got me past the hurdle that cwm made quickly. In the end, the result is the same so no big deal.

I don't know if cwm backs up wimax keys so I did it manually. There's a post on how to do it, I don't know if it's in this section. It might be dev?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
First the phone info:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

When I was first rooting it (about a month ago), I've had a huge problem with rooting through goldcard/sappimg, it always gave me "main version is older" error (was not a goldcard problem, as I've rooted 5 other mt3g's with it prior to this one. The only method for rooting that worked was the 1clickroot.

Anyways fast forward to now, I've tried to unroot it (or rather my friend did, with me guiding him over the phone) and something went wrong, now the phone is unrooted, but stuck in a bootloop. The problem is again, I cannot use the goldcard, none of the sappimg's I've tried worked, spits out the "main version is older" error and I have no way to do it through 1clickroot, as I'm restricted to bootloader with no root.

What are my options without returning the phone to tmo?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] codefreak007:
Your options are:

- RUU (Possible Solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621415&highlight=ruu+32a )

- ADB Shell to flash a recovery (might not work)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
Thanks for the reply, will try the RUU, as fastboot doesn't allow me root, "not allow" is all I get.

Question though, I see that RUU is radio 6.35, while mine is 2.22, won't that be a guaranteed brick? My phone is tmo branded, mytouch 1.2, 3.5mm jack.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] codefreak007:
Not necessarily unless that radio isn't compatible with your phone. So it may or may not be a guaranteed brick, but to be on the safe side. Research compatible radios with your phone, then keep a list of them and search this forum by going into the android development section for the MT3G and searching "RUU" and find one that is compatible with your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dark0:
Ok, tried the ruu, the magic one linked (model id mismatch) and tmo one (2.10.531.4, bootloader version error, error [140]).

My phone's image version: 3.56.531.1

I want to have browser for my HTC S620 that support online flash video? I used to use Skyfire but now it does not support WM anymore. I tried Bolt browser but i did not work for me. Is there any different browser that can play online flash video. Opera is great but it does not support online flash video?

Another question: could we install android for HTS S620 and will it works well as WM?

Thank in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] Hakim Rahman:
used UCWEB , you can download it and See Features or details at http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ucweb.html

android could work in htc Excalibur but unfortunately there are still many shortcomings ( such as wifi and sound are not working )
[HTC Excalibur] Phrack:
There is NO BROWSER for WM that can view online flash videos except Skyfire. I couldn't get BOLT to work with videos either. I got rid of my Excalibur once I realized MS was abandoning WM6.x and lower and only focusing on WM7. Android 2.2 rocks!, has built-in full adobe flash 10, not flash lite. I watch online videos with stock browser, no skyfire needed.

Hi guys :)

I want to buy a new phone and I need your opinion about these two phones (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and Samsung Galaxy SL i9003), which is better? :confused:

- Battery

- Durability (Few years of use)

- Speed

- Firmware

- Awesomeness

Opinions with explanation please :)

[General Questions and Answers] zazazombie:
I'm using the x10 myself and i think it's great. its durable but the battery life sucks.
[General Questions and Answers] FrequencyModder:
Battery: Galaxy SL has slightly higher capacity 1650mAH, compared to 1500mAH of X10.

Firmware: X10 being much older has better dev support, Galaxy SL being newer at the moment there are no custom ROMs.

Looks: X10 looks better than Galaxy SL according to me.

Lag: Galaxy SL has better CPU (Omap 3630) and better GPU (SGX 530). I feel no lag in Galaxy SL.

I can't comment on durability as my Galaxy SL is only 2 months old. Till now there has not been any problem.

OS: Right now Galaxy SL has 2.2 and X10 has 2.1. Both have promised 2.3

Display: Galaxy SL has SC-LCD with 16M color, though 54 pixels less in height. I really like the display of Galaxy SL.

Hi all,

It's so said to type this topic, yesterday was a really bad day Friday 13th :(. I replaced /system/etc/hosts file with other file - as usual it's OK. After quit root explorer, I tried to connect to wifi but always fail :(. After reboot, my venue could not boot, saw the Dell logo only:(

I'm trying to access this file and change it back with the old one, but fail ... I can enter fastboot but could not do anything

I tried with SD Download from the menu, it run for a while and shown the message like unplug battery ... i could not remember this message because it's so fast, then it change to the the text like factory reset ...., then restarted. And my screen become black and show nothing up to now. I could not turn it on, but when plug the cable, 3 buttons still blinking.

After few days, I found the way to turn in on: Plug the cable, hold power and volume down. If it's ring mode, it came to boot menu and vibration mode it came to fastboot. But still could not do any thing. Tried with some function on boot menu, the power's down althought tried all the way, my venue could not power up :(

I'm really funny when I do it. I'm soooo scared. I'll read every single post 10 times...literally. Talk myself in and out of it....read a few more times. The reason I'm scared is if something goes wrong, I'll be lost...I'll have to read the suggestions ad nauseum again, be terrified to try anything (LOL) and it'll take a month to figure out.....cause thats how I roll.

But rooting the G2X was pretty easy. Once you've been rooted, you kind of always have to be.

I hope someone can help you. I'm sure I've read that screw ups are fixable. That its hard to brick this phone doing root. Don't quote me on that one though.

But for others. It really is pretty easy doing the root. Just read read read....if I can do it, you can. Believe me.

I think you want to make sure you are using the NVflash method of using the cwm recovery. There is a oneclick solution to this in the development section.
