[Nexus S General] youngballer:
stuck on the nexus s boot screen

i used the one mentioned in addictive tips website (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-s-with-a-single-click-using-superboot/). i basically followed what these guys had mentioned.

since this failed i read that the other option is to go through fastboot > recovery > and clear everything but this did not change anything.

can someone give me a step by step guideline on how to continue. i dont mind going back to the stock 2.3.4 android. i just bought the phone yesterday
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Which version do you have? The sprint or t mobile? Check if you can go into fast boot hold down volume up and then powerbutton. If not you may have to Odin it if not. That super one click looks old..
[Nexus S General] youngballer:
I am in Canada but the model is 19020 A. I can get to the fastboot mode but don't know what to do after that.
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
I have the 4g so I don't want to give you the wrong information and never encountered this situation so sorry dude. Hopefully a more experanced user can help you out.
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Btw if all fails you can Odin it
[Nexus S General] youngballer:
its all good thanks for trying to help
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
If your ROM flashed incorrectly, it would lead to your phone being in a state where it just shows a GOOGLE with a Padlock; kind of like turning on a computer without an operating system.

You would have to read the instructions on rooting your phone, which involves using fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot (All this is in the rooting guide). Simply reflash the recovery so you boot up back in recovery and try flash the rom again.
[Nexus S General] dino993:
The same happened to me, I fixed it buy flashing a stock boot.img
[Nexus S General] youngballer:
thanks for the replies. how do i flash from the fastboot mode? when i plug it in to my computer i cant see the drive but my computer can detect the nexus s is plugged in
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Set up adb first, they have the guides in the dev section, I used wolverines guide, you'll have to look for the software img, I don't know where it is at for the GSM model. Good luck
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
Sounds like you're rooted and have recovery installed, but your OS is hosed.

Flash a ROM.
[Nexus S General] youngballer:
thanks for the replies guys. i have the adb setup on my laptop. i took it to one of the stores and he said he cant reflash it for some reason. he said he needs to get some software off samsung and it will take him a day. my phone is brand new and i didnt wanna trust him. do u guys think i should use odin? one of my friend has a galaxy s and he said odin should work fine on my phone.
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
Can you get into the ClockworkMod recovery menu? Turn the phone completely off then hold VolUp and Power until you get into Recovery.

If you get there, you're golden. Just download a ROM (I recommend Deck's) and away you go.
[Nexus S General] youngballer:
i can get into recovery but it gives me option like wipe everything and i selected that. but when i reboot the phone the same locked screen pops up. anyone from toronto here who i can contact?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Basically with those wipe commands you make the Rom unuseable. You have to flash a new one or apply it via Odin. There are various guides on this forum section. Odin requires less technical knowledge but is a bit more risky then flashing via recovery. Odin and the Roms for that method can be obtained from samfirmware.com. Zipped roms can be found in the development section here.

I haven't seen a thread for this yet or much discussion about it so I thought I'd bring it up.

To those of you on the CM7 nightlies that tinker around with application permissions. Which apps have you been able to revoke permissions and still have the application run well? If this thread gets big enough I'll do what I can to edit the OP and have a list of permissions that are unnecessary in applications that we use.

I turned off all SMS and MMS permissions for Facebook and it seems to be running swell.

[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
Title says it all. Any rebate of any form when you buy it, Mail-in or otherwise?
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
I haven't heard a whisper of this and don't expect to. Your best bet is to port a phone number in on a new line of service for a $125 credit.

And yes, the port in credit is until JULY 23, not June--no matter what they tell you (I've had to correct 4 different sprint employees on this!!)

http://www.sprint.com/landings/portcredit/?ECID=vanity:switchtosprint
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I got a 150$ instant rebate at sprint store with the buy back program because I used my wifes line to get my EVO last year. My 3D cost me 60 dollars out of pocket
[HTC EVO 3D] panamaniac:
Not really a rebate, but nice price!

The replenish I got 1 month ago only trades in for like $35, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
I'm already with sprint, I'm talking about something like the $100 mail-in rebate that I got last year with my Evo, Right now I'd likely be getting a $25 credit towards my account, the 150 for the OG Evo buyback and the $75 upgrade with it, I'm unsure whether it stacks, either.
[HTC EVO 3D] anti-up:
199.99 is a great price, so I'm sure there wont be any rebates unless the price goes up. If you can use the buy back program, that helps. The OG Evo is worth 150, I traded that in along with my T-mo Galaxy S 4G and got the 3vo, Ottterbox defender, ballistic case and screen protectors all for free. Also ported my T-mo # over for the 125.00 credit.
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
Same thing here, from Radio Shack. I was expecting to pay $99, which was RS advertised price with trade-in, but then they said no, you get $150 back on trade in, so it was only $60.
[HTC EVO 3D] kilik64:
got evo 3d and nexus s 4g for 50 bucks basically with no activation fees. 175 for each line port (125 + extra 50 per line from the sprint rep).

Helps having a huge corporate account with the company I work for. Thats in addition to 20 percent off every month. All in all really quite pleased with sprint at the moment.

Witopia OpenVPN SSL for CM7

Rooted Android versions 2.2.1-2.3.4

By: Z3n

(tested on HD2 CM7 and Nexus S CM7)

(Probably works for any build you can install the needed packages on too)

I asked the tech guys at witopia about using its service with android, and they didnt have a way, so i found out for myself,

This probably works for all OpenVPN SSL connections too, not just Witopia.

enjoy :)

-Windows only till i can insert links :P-

-Mac guide for finding your files and certs can be found at Witopia's wiki page-

-=#REQUIRES ROOT#=-

Required Packages – Busybox, OpenVPN installer, OpenVPN Settings

Both can be found in the android marketplace.

Install Busybox (if you haven't already)

Run installer first, and install openVPN binaries to all listed places.

ON PC

Install Witopia client on your PC, Then navigate to:

C:/programfiles/personalvpn/config

Copy the configuration files and certificates to a new folder called “openvpn” on your desktop.

For each location you plan on using, you need to modify the .ovpn file relevant for it, and also rename the file to a .conf extension.

First, in the .ovpn file, change these:

“nobind” to “bind”

(allows VPN to stay connected while screen is off, I tested this on CM7 for HD2 and also on Nexus S, so it may not need to be changed depending on the build you use. If this setting is left, when the screen is off, the VPN will not be “binded” to your cellular network, breaking your VPN connection everytime you turn off the screen.)

Remove “show-net-up” at the bottom

(this breaks the VPN connection as the phone cannot process this {its for the windows/Mac GUI for VPN})

Save each .ovpn to .conf (save as… ; file type = all types ; save with .conf extension)

ON PHONE

Copy the whole openVPN folder from your desktop onto your SDcard, so the path looks like /sdcard/openvpn (openvpn all lowercase.)

Run OpenVPN settings and turn on OpenVPN. It will load your certificate, key, and .conf files for use.

If nothing shows up, make sure your folder path matches /sdcard/openvpn.

one thing is, if you set the "bind" string, your battery will drain a bit faster, since its constantly connected, even with the screen off.

To save battery life, leave this as "nobind" and you will have to go to OpenVPN settings, disconnect, and reconnect to your desired location.

Enjoy your encrypted connection :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tommo965:
Thank you mate, this is just what I needed.

Now WiTopia SSL is working perfectly on my SGS2 running nightly CM7 10201011 nightly-89 rooted with CF-root.

btw, I left my setting on "nobind" in the config file and it stays connected after waking the screen. All else is as you suggested.

Cheers :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
I have CM7 with Launcher Pro Plus, and I have Fancy Widgets Pro, and my clock looks very close to the Sense clock, but that's not the problem. When you tap the Sense clock, it has the different option type things at the bottom where you can go to alarm, stopwatch, timer, weather, different timezones, etc. Is there any app or anything that will do that for me? So when I click on the Fancy Widgets Pro clock, it has easy access to all those things and I can switch between them. I would want the app to let me designate a certain app to each section. So I can use like gentle alarm, weatherbug, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Beautiful Widgets will do what you seek to be done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
I can't figure out how to get it to do it...

[HTC Inspire 4G] WTFunk:
There's an option within the beautiful widgets settings to change the shortcuts on the widget itself. Look under the clock tab for time, date and forecast application. That should get you the same shortcuts as sense or other if you'd prefer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
Oh...I didn't mean that type of thing. Have you used sense? Like the clock GUI has a scrollable thing at the bottom that lets you switch between the clock, around alarm, and weather, and stopwatch, and etc.

I slapped this on top synergy 629 nightly(sense added) and it took forever to go past bootanimation. When it finally did phone was lagging like a mofo. A few mins later and the notification bar dissappeared altogether. Rebooted and its running smooth as butter. I know its not made for synergy but its working for me so far, haven't seen any bugs as of yet.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Daciple:
That's awesome to hear! In theory this should possibly work on any Sense 3 Rom, and glad it works for you for I haven't tested that ROM out! Have plans of having some others that should start testing so I can reach out farther with this!!

great looking theme man been running great for me on BAMF 3.0. only things i would change is that the completly transparent notification window makes it really hard to read if you have anything else open.

Quick questions about installing CM7 on micro SD card and market place using these instruction on your forum?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

Does the market place and apps downloaded from the market stay on the memory card or dose it use internal memory? I ask because I want to keep warranty intact and if it is all on memory card and I can just pull it out and every thing still be stock with warranty in tact that would be great.

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
Yes, everything runs off the SD, apps, data, system. So it doesn't touch your EMMC, besides cache of course, but that shouldn't be an issue. You can always wipe that with CWM Recovery

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
No way to tell.. You'll need to try them out and find the ones you like/find least battery consuming.

I've seen plenty of people trying to compare battery life on different roms based on anything from feeling to sleep voltage numbers to screen battery consumption, and it just isn't anything to go by.. The numbers are completely random from device to device and from user to user(depending on how you use the device), so no there is no one great/low battery consumption rom EOS

I'll suggest oxygen as a nice and lightweight aosp rom, but try different ones out :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keeray:
In my opinion, Gingerbread(Android 2.3.x) Roms must be much better than Froyo(Android 2.2.x) Roms. And if you are looking for the Rom with the best battery, I may tell you that Miui is you last choice...
[Verizon Droid Charge] XBIOSX:
The Droid charge is my first experience with an android phone, and I would appreciate any answers to the questions I have.

#1 what does "root"ing actually do, and can it be reversed (like if I wanted to go back to how it was before)

#2 what is the advantage of; "root"ing, changing the rom, or changing the kernel?

#3 what is the difference between changing the rom and changing the kernel?

#4 I would like to start getting involved in learning about android, is there any resources I can go to read up on it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheVrolok:
I was going to post a link for you, but the rather draconian new user rules have prohibited me; suffice it to say, I would suggest googling "rooting is it for me qa" and reading the first link.

That should cover it, I think. :)

This is my second account, the first since the noob video was made. But im 100% sure you had to agree to it in order to make an account :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
#1 Rooting is simply awesome; it can completely change your phone by removing the bloatware(pre-installed apps that were otherwise un-removable), overclocking to increase performance, replacing TouchWiz with something that suits your style much better(or to improve performance), and MUCH more. Also, yes it can be reversed, quite easily.

#2 I think I answered that in #1 :]

#3 A ROM is something like TouchWiz, or a theme that can be replaced(of course that's not all it is, but that's an example) and the kernel is(if I'm not mistaken) Voodoo(I'm not to sure on this one, but keep reading as I'll provide a link to something else to help you out later on)

#4 Heres the link to the guide that seriously helped me out, I was completely baffled and had NO clue whatsoever on how to flash roms or install clockwork, I really wish all future guides were noob-proofed like this one since new people join the Android scene every day, but anyway I'll shut up and give you that link now haha
