Before you use odin....try going into rom manager a reflashing clockwork! Ive had that android dude on my screeen but reflashibg via rom manager always fixed it. Try that
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
Wow my Nexus has totally shut me out.

I cannot use ClockworkMod unfortunately since I am not able to root my phone. It is not detectable via USA (when I use vol+/pwr and connect USB). I am unable to check the USB Debugging option on the phone. Each time I check it, go to home-screen and back to the menu, it has de-selected it again. Also I noticed when I read the info that is sent to Google for all those app-crashes I get, I see SQLiteException and error in an SQLite.java file. So it seems like some database layer is broken.

I read one could copy the ClockWork.img to my phone and use the standard recovery option to flash the img (I think). But when I go into the recovery menu, the file is gone. When I boot the phone again, it has deleted the .img file - eventhough if I copy it to several different folders, they are all gone :-(.

I feel pretty screwed at the moment. How can I else wipe all data?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
I'd recommend to check if your device is correctly identified in windows. Missing USB drivers might cause problems. Get the latest drivers and a guide from here.

If you succeed booting into fastboot properly (vol up and power) you can follow this guide. Get the latest cwm recovery.img here.

Last option would be to boot into download mode (vol up + vol down + power + plugging in usb cable) and use Odin from samfirmware.com

--

All options require correctly working USB drivers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
I managed to unlock the bootloader, by quickly turning on USB-debugging (before any processes started to crash) and install the drivers from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6819751&postcount=4

A reboot later, I got this message:

"System UIDs Inconsistent

UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."

Right below was a button saying "Im feeling lucky" (??)

I installed ClockworkMod using fastboot and tried "Fixing permissions" with no luck. I will try some ROM later on, and hope it will bring my phone back
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Normally this error happens when you have a faulty app ruining your system, formating/deleting whole sdcard does usually fix this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
I can safely mount USB-storage and format the whole bunch?

I been sweating over this stupid issue all day now, all I want is a fac-reset :´(

Edit: "format /sdcard" using CWM didn't do anything
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
See I'm no expert on this whole thing. At this point I'd just flash a whole new system via Odin. Prolly not the smartest or safest option, but that's what I'd do because I don't know better. If that wouldn't fix it either, I'd return the phone on warranty :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
I was looking at Odin from the start, since nothing else seemed to be working.

So right now I got started on Odin. Followed the .pdf steps and flashed the bootloader at first succesfully. I was asked to remove the battery and re-connect my NS. Began downloading "pda" and "phone", but at around 10% a big fat red "fail" message appeared and now I just see the Google-logo on startup. I still cant flash any roms via fastboot.

Im too tired too right now, been working with this for 14 hours straight. I will look at it tomorrow evening. Thanks for your help rentaric :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Weird, you're not the first one who had trouble running Odin using their guide.

Overall it's pretty simple.

Enter download mode. Vol up vol down and power at the same time while plugging in the USB cable. Start Odin, should show a yellow colored box with a port number. Uncheck everything but reset timer and auto reboot. Unzip the correct zip file from samfirmware.com (check if you got i9020 or i9023 and get the universal Odin exe), apply file from the folder accordingly. Bootloader and bootloader. Phone and modem. Pda and pda. Csc can remain empty (will change carrier info in fastboot).

Double check md5 hash to avoid broken files.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
Of course I did not go to bed, how should I be able to sleep with a broken phone :P.

The firmware suggested on samfirmware.com for my phone, was 2.3.3 and some other version (my phone was 2.3.4.2/GRJ22 or something similar, I suspect that might be the cause. Also I unchecked everything, that might also have been of importance). The flash will always fail when everything was downloaded - it then said something about "remote" and "Loke" and then fail. But as I mentioned, I had succesfully flashed boot.img (2.3.3) thus no boot occured now. I googled the correct bootloader, used fastboot and was booting succesfully again.

I began looking more into the sdcard, as error-messages was leading me this way. To compress 4 hours of investigations into a few lines, it seems as my PBA is malfunctioning as other xda-members have experinced. Only solution is sending the phone to Samsung for a PBA replacement. I purchased the phone in Bestbuy USA and the danish Samsung partners are not too joyfull about this - I will contact Samsung and hope they can help me.

I experinced the exact same thing as this poor guy - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993403

Every thing you try to do to /sdcard is worthless.

Formatting (USB/using CWM/using adb shell linux commands) says "Succes" but nothing happens.

Copying files says "Succes" but nothing happens. If I boot phone into CWM, mount usb and upload new rom/apk/whatever and try to do a "install update.zip" it fails with some mounting errors.

Im ready to go cry in a corner - I really want this to be fixable via software, but I probably have to realize that this is a hardware issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisRP:
Apparently Samsung doesn't offer worldwide warranty for cellularphones :´(. God it sucks to pay repair-expenses on a 1 month old mobile.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyoder:
Hello,

In my area I find that I keep jumping from HSDPA to Edge and back constantly, which breaks my data connection briefly. It's very annoying.

I found that changing the setting to WCDMA only fixed this, and did not result in loss of data connection - it just kept me where I needed to be.

Only problem is at my house, suddenly I could not connect to my wireless internet no matter what I tried. I could connect to the neighbors slower open internet connection, but not my own. Tried everything. When I set it back to Auto mode, I could connect again with ease.

Any suggestions for a way to be WCDMA only and still connect to my wireless? I don't understand networking well enough to help myself. :(
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
Now that i've finally managed to root my SNS, what should i do now? :O

(What are some good roms, etc)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Look at all of the choices available and find the rom you like the most.

I'd personally recommend,

Lightweight and speed: oxygen

Cm7 is another cool rom

Miui is good as well.

Kernel: netarchys 1.3.7 with proton voltage condolences to undervolt and use voodoo functionality
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
I'm a bit confused as to what I installed while I was rooting.

I installed Clockwork 3.0.2.4 but what exactly is this?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
It allows you to flash custom Roms and perform backups (restore your phone to a given point in time)
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
OK, now before I rooted my phone I backed up my entire phone (copy and paste to desktop), but I still lost all my apps in the app store? any way of getting these back?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Yes, but you'd have had enabled back up to your Google account before you rooted and have to enable it on the rooted phone again, then the market will try to restore all apps.

If you didn't you got to do it manually (recommend doing it via webside market for easier accessing old apps), then get Titanium Backup and save all your apps.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
No. Redownload them and back it up using a backup apply. I'd recommend tianjin backup pro. It costs $6 but its worth it. It backs up ur apps/games and data along with it.

Every rom flash involving a factory reset will wipe your apps. With titanium backup pro, you can one click restore everything
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
Ok,

Final question is that how do i go about installing the rom? I downloaded it and transferred it to the memory card.

I go into fastboot and into recovery.

Then.?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
1. Download the ROM

2. mount the phone's USB

3. put it on the root of the /sdcard/ while mounted

4. unmount

5. go into recovery

6. wipe factory settings, data cache, dalvk cache (advanced)

P.S. i'd recommend getting clockwork 4.0.0.2 from the dev forums, its a lot better. better organization on wipes

7. flash the ROM (if you're flashing CM7, you have to flash Gapps afterwards) [flash zip from sdcard]

this flash applies to any flashable zips including kernels/roms/radios... DO NOT FLASH BOOT ANIMATIONS. you put them in /system/media/ if you choose to do so

8. reboot
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
how do u install teh clockwork 4.0.0.2?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
if you can please, hit the "thanks" button for all of my posts otherwise i wont help anymore because ive been posting on a timely fashion and I think I deserve something for my help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988686

download respective to your phone model

put it in /sdk/tools (you need adb environment setup)

go into bootloader mode

type "fastboot flash 4002-orange.img" or whatever color you downloaded.
[Nexus S General] isinisterx:
Kk I thank'd all your posts.

Do I have to install the htc sync?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
No? Not sure where you get "HTC Sync" from. This is a Samsung phone, not a HTC one.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
The boot animation file locations have changed for 2.3.4 (4.5.91) as follows:

bootanimation.zip : /system/media

Audio file: /system/media/audio/notifications

Note: Only the audio file location has actually changed. Both are in /system/media in previous builds.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Thank God! The whole no sound thing was really starting to piss me off.
[Atrix 4G General] KryptosXLayer2:
THANK YOU!!! Showed me how to fix the "muted" boot animation you made that I really liked, posted instructions on that page with a link to this thread too - awesome job!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I just noticed that with some boot animations which are shorter and repeat on 2.3.4 can cause a white flash on the screen every time they reach the end and jump to the beginning again.

No idea why I am seeing this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneturf:
I love and hate Swype. It is the first android keyboard I used and am very fast on it. I love how it only takes one swiping keypress to access the nav keys since I use them a lot, and how well it chooses the correct words.

However, since I am always changing roms on my captivates and nook color it is a real pain to constantly have to go through the stupid process of going to the website, signing in, waiting for an email, downloading the installer from an email link, signing in again, downloading and installing the beta, signing in again, generating the license (or whatever it is you are supposed to do- I am never quite sure), and often getting into some loop where I can never get the thing installed, then searching for an hour trying to find some hacked apk that does work. Currently, I cannot find an apk that works with my nook color, either. I am so ready to find a good replacement so I never have to use it again on any of my devices.

I use SlideIT a lot, but hate how you have to press 5 keys to access navigation and how it does not choose words as well as swype, and how it cannot handle single character words like I and a in the middle of a sentence, and how it cannot capitalize letters in the middle of a word (which my last name requires) without jumping through hoops.

Are there any swiping alternatives to these that work well?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
although the ui isn't AS pretty, to me slide-it is more functionally sound for my use.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GirLuvsDroid:
phoneturf, I sent you a PM with a solution.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gijosh28:
What was your solution?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Have you tried flext9? I seem to like it enough to use on most of my android toys.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gijosh28:
I just downloaded the Swype apk from another thread and its working great on my nightly #144. I had SlideIt which worked very well (paid the $4.99 or whatever it was a month or so ago), but simply put nothing works as well as Swype IMO.

Thanks,

i got a hero from europe, with stock rom ..

hope there is and answer..

No wonder it's not booting, you flashed a ROM that is not adjusted to P970.

you don't need the power button

It should work. If it doesn't, well, you should go switch it at the store.

[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
It is very strange. Are you sure that you're doing it right? It is so easy.. Remove the battery, but don't insert it again. Without the battery you press vol up button and connect the computer to the device at the same time you press it.. You'll see s/w update screen
[LG Optimus Black] alorma:
You thing that I'm idiot, no?

Sorry.. but i tried more than 20 times this combination.

Tried Vol. Down + Power too... and nothing works.

The only way is going to store, nah?
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
Yes I think you are. Someone that isn't able to just press vol up while connecting pc-lg without battery, that ask others to try a rom that bricked his own phone and that is talking about combinations and power when the only combination is vol up while connecting the device ... sorry but you'r not thinking right

Well try again.

Quit battery -> Done

Press Vol. Up + Conect to PC -> Done

You need to use gingerbreak. Search for it in the development section, its an app you run on your phone that installs root for you.

It may tell you that its not sure if it worked but that's normal, just reboot the phone and you will have root!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
To root your stock ROM then use Ginger Break you can download a free market app called root checker to see if you have root.

I'd recommend that you also take a backup of your existing stock rom using either CWM or through rom manager backup before you install a custom rom.

I'd also suggest that you install LBC MOD custom....but try them all and decide for yourself.

I'd also recommend that you install 4EXT recovery rather than CWM as its an improved easier to use version of CWM which is updated very often.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
can i make a back up even if i am not rooted? how?

Your quite right....you can't, I clearly was thinking straight.:o

Alpharevx installs clockworkmod recovery if you want.

With CWM you can make a full backup, the you can try some other ROMs. I am using virtuous unity and looks really well.

Although, you won't be able to take a successful NANDROID backup even with CWM unless you have rooted your phone.

Then, my aim is to connect to this from code running on the device itself.

2. I manage to write the property (I know this by listing the contents of the memory area in KillingInTheNameOf itself), but getprop returns blank.

This is the relevant parts of the code

{

int namelen = strlen(name);

int valuelen = strlen(value);

int pa_count = pa->count;

pa->count++;

}

IT seems that property_change has to be fired for any property to "take effect". (no wonder the KillingInTheNameOf exploit kills adb and restarts it).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tshephard:
Hi all!

SEA Rhodium, 6.5 with VC 1.6 from links here...

Quick press Call starts phone, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last,

Long Press Call button starts VC and it listens for me.

HTC wired headset (Stereo headset symbol shows in notification area), quick press nothing, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last (then quick press ends call), long press does nothing.

I'm hoping and expecting that a long press on the headset switch will start VC and then VC will listen to the headset mic - just like the hand set, and like my old Startrek!

Have I missed anything? Why doesn't the headset switch completely act like the call button?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tshephard:
(bump?)

Hi all, still trying for help or confirmation...

My old Startrek would let me push headset button, beep to me, listen for command and on from there...

My TP2 will let me push long

handset

call button, beep to me, listen, do my bidding...

On wired headset, single push does nothing, long push nothing, double push does last call (just like handset!)... In call push gets me hold on/off, long push hangs up.

I don't understand why, if headset switch can replicate the call button,

why VC doesn't beep in and listen to me on single long push? It seemd so natural on my Startrek...

THX

Anyone else? Am I wrong, wrong headset, operator?
