Again, if you dont know, then dont give inaccurate info. I spent a good part of yesterday testing over and over with different scenarios. The .p is patch, yes. But if the original file is not there, it wont write. With a modded updater script, it will patch the files that are there and do nothing with the ones missing. It wont harm framework files becuz when you do flash the zip....your framework is intact correct? You wouldnt flash an update over a broke system, would you? No. So this method is good. I dont think you understand the concept of replacing and patching.

Again. Feel free to test the OTA update i posted earlier OVER bugless pete's GRJ06D. His is missing files from /system/app and will take my modded update just fine. You dont end up with partial files like your thinking
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
That's why I said

Thanks for confirming what I suspected - that the patches modify the existing binaries, and do not overwrite them. I agree that patching modified files is a bad idea. The asserts are there for a good reason. So the first step would be to disable the patching of any modified files. The second step would be to remove the asserts that verify these files. (I guess I put these in the wrong order.) For example, if you wanted the update to work with a stock rom and custom recovery, you would first disable the recovery patch (by changing its permissions to 000?), then comment out the assert that checks the recovery hash. Then the whole update will not fail because of this one thing not matching.

I don't intend to give bad advice, and I hope I haven't done so. I'm just throwing ideas out there to figure out how to get the update on a system that its not bone stock. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Yes I have those files but the updated radio isn't in them
[Nexus S General] sobis1dm:
Yea, I went ahead and did it. I'm not noticing a huge dip in signal strength but the data is noticeably slower. still useable though.

Trying to get used to the button placement is the hard part.
[Nexus S General] LancerEVA06:
You have to build the radio update while compiling the build.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Your not getting what I'm saying lol. I'm aware the radio will be built with these binaries. But these are the only binaries available, they are the original ones. This was posted on the 7th in google groups by Jean-Baptiste

I've just released a new package of proprietary Samsung files for crespo4g.

This fixes the crash that happened when trying to select "Sprint

system updates".

^^The only update to them was they changed the certificates to match with the build signature so it didn't force close anymore when going into Sprint Settings.

Meaning they are the original GRJ22 binaries not the updated radio image so building it doesn't help because it's not the newest radio.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Correct, they will make their debut in the OTA (if they are updated).
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Correction on what I said earlier, just built again with all binaries properly extracted, there is no radio regardless the only source for the radio is an ota. The rom might reflect changes since the original but wimax, gps, etc are all going to remain the same until a new set of binaries are released after the ota finally drops. This means we can't even get the toggle for 4g early since it's packed into a special system app modular of settings.apk
[Nexus S General] shungite:
How do you get at that new market? Anyway ...

So I read today that Samsung reported that the update was "failing" when it started rolling out and that was why they pulled. And of coarse no other comments on anything.
[Nexus S General] hooray4FOSS:
This wouldn't really surprise me at all. There are so many companies out there that make great hardware, but have really poor firmware on top =/

Still, an official word would be nice. Even the original announcement has been very hush.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
That was the transform update I believe, it was released and had major issues probably why ours didn't release, the do get pushed on springs ota system for us
[Nexus S General] csementuh:
Any updates to this update coming out today? The 18th was a possible 're-release' date for the GRJ90. I have tried the 'checkin' procedure and haven't heard a peep from anywhere online.
[Nexus S General] spx_trader:
I sent an email friday to dan@sprint.com and had a call today from a lady and then got this email after

Thank you for contacting Dan@Sprint.com. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that you have experienced. Per our conversation today, I understand your frustration in the software delay for the Nexus S.

Sprint has partnered with Google and we are working to provide you with the software update as quickly as possible.

I will follow up with you on Thursday, July 21st, 2011 with any further updates that are available. You may also contact me at . I will be available Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm EST and Monday- Thursday from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm EST and Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm EST the week of July 16th – July 22nd, 2011. The following week of July 25th - July 29th, 2011 I will be available Monday - Friday from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm EST. Thank you for choosing Sprint.

Sincerely,

Sarah B.

Sprint
[Nexus S General] csementuh:
Haha well, that is something... Either they are hinting to a release this week, hopefully by Thurs the 21st, or she will call you to say 'sorry'. Ohh well.. I hope this comes out soon my reception is *terrible*.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
I did the exact same thing...email to Dan at Sprint and a lady from his office replied back. Had a discussion with her about the release of the patch (this was on July 11). She said a patch should be expected that week. Reassured me I needn't worry, the update will be released in batches from the 11th througg the 14th. But definitely "everyone with a nexus should be updated by the 14th". Lo and behold, its the 18th already and where is our update? Listen, these corporate people...they're all full of BS. Anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm beginning to suspect there wasn't even an update trigs begin with. Effing Sprint. BS company.
[Nexus S General] spx_trader:
When I was on the phone with her she really stressed it was a pure Google phone and they are responsible not sprint. She made it sound like sprint played no role in this.

Emailing The CEO of Sprint for a software update, then upset at your results . . . .wow and wow again.
[Nexus S General] spx_trader:
When I got my phone I called to return it because of a crap signal. They told me that an update was set to be released very soon that would solve that. After it was delayed when I called customer service they told me that the only update for this phone was for the market. So yeah I sent an email to the CEO since I'm now out of the 30 day period and kept it due to info they gave me on an update then know nothing about it later. I don't see anywhere that I said I was upset with what they told me today. I'm just upset I have a phone with one bar of service and drops data in my house.
[Nexus S General] mikerowes69:
The CEO dont know any technical matters at ALL. Wrong person to ask. You might consider asking someone who does testing, or a programmer. I know that's hard to find but they are there. Sprint's CEO truly dont know anything at all.
[Nexus S General] spx_trader:
I didn't expect him to have an answer. I didn't expect him to return the email. I expected someone would though and that's what happened and she told me that if she could not get me an answer by Thursday she would see what the next step to take is so I can have a working phone at home. Problem solved to me. Sprint has been good to me in the past solving problems
[Nexus S General] sluzi26:
I don't have the signal problems that you others do, but I do live about 2 miles from the closest tower. 2 days in to my service, I called and said I had no bars at home. Anywhere else is fine. I'll have an airave this week, totally free. I can't complain with their service.
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
The SprintFeed.com guy replied to my tweet asking about the update.

[Nexus S General] Skimp Killah:
I come from the tough streets of epic land, over there those guys have been waiting for a gingerbread update that was supposed to happen months before I dropped my epic in a toilet and tthen sold it and bought a real phone. I didn't even know or care an update was coming, that's how awesome this phone is.

Sent from my Nexus S 5g, at work, gettin paid.
[Nexus S General] spx_trader:
I agree. I love this phone but I work at home and use this as a primary number. I had an evo before I gave to my daughter and like this size and weight of this so much better. I am not in anyway interested in another HTC product. I really hope something happens
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
Dont get me wrong. The phone is awesome after I connect my fios. Just wish sprint had a better network. Its not very "Now".
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
I said that too, but then used the Sensation...
[Nexus S General] 4redstars:
Sensation! Drools

CM7'd Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I agree Derek. Sensation is nice. We should have got that instead of the 3d
[Nexus S General] hooray4FOSS:
Agree on the 3D - it's a total gimmick. From what I heard, it just makes the phone bulkier and forces the phone to have a 2D screen to incorporate stereoscopic imaging. But for all of this, it doesn't add anything really useful or reasonably desireable (of course, each is entitled to his/her own opinion).

It feels like that's what Sprint has to resort to, because they'll be in trouble if they don't get more market share soon. But as a regular user, I was really disappointed that Sprint didn't get the Sensation. In any case, there is still the clear benefit that the Nexus gets updates as soon as they're ready, so it would have made the decision harder for me at the time, but I probably still would have gone with the Nexus anyways. I'm a minimalist, I imagine Sense would drive me crazy before too long :p

And it's not entirely Sprint's fault that they have a bad network. It just sounds like they have a crappy portion of the spectrum. Still, the major advantage of being on Sprint is they offer true data plans, rather than the metered crap you get on basically every other carrier in the US. I don't care how high the caps are or how unlikely it is that you'll hit it - you give a carrier a chance to cap their network and they'll use it as an excuse for never upgrading it and raising prices.

Evo 3D was garbage. I owned one for roughly 20 days, then sold that POS for $500 on Craigslist. I used to be all about HTC, but after all the encrypted bootloader, emmc reliable write bull****...I am done. Besides, HTC build quality is piss poor lately. Screens are peeling up n' ****. They can keep em. I am now I am a Sammy fanboy. Can't wait for the SGS2.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
It's either light leak issues or radio/gps issues. I HTC makes the best phones right now.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Yeah either the sgs2 or the next nexus will be my next phone.

[Nexus S General] kashb91:
So I was on the phone with SPRINT ordering an air rave, and I ask the guy if he knew anything about the update. Sadly, he only saw info about the July 11 release. He said that he didn't see any other info on future updates. Not saying there is one, just that he didn't see one. Also said that the *#*#checkin code was the best to way to try and get it.

[Nook Color General] f308gt4:
I can't post in the thread on SOD in the developers forum, so thought I would post my observations here.

I recently updated from CM7.03 stable (on SD card) to CM7.1RC (on SD card) on my wifes Nook.

Never had the SOD when running CM7.03 stable, but looks like I am now getting it.

Occasionally the screen wont come back on when pressing the power button. The nook appears to be on, but the screen is off. Ultimately, I have to hold the power button down until it shuts off and then restarts.

However, the last couple times this has happened, I have taken the nook and given it a heavy shake. Upon doing this, the screen turns on.

This suggests that maybe the SOD is related to the G-sensor operation?

Has anyone else tried to do this when experiencing a SOD?

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] trobing:
Thanks for sharing. I should give it a try.
[Nook Color General] JonMayer:
Next time I get this, I'll try it out too!
[Nook Color General] Phatdawg:
Nice, I will try this too. I have to admit occasionally I will get frustrated and shake it and occasionally it turns on but I thought it was me hitting a bunch of buttons and waking it. Volume, etc.

It's obviously still "on" since you have to do a hard power off on it. So, perhaps that's the magic?
[Nook Color General] f308gt4:
Has anyone else had a chance to try it?

It still seems to be working for me (tried it 2x more times since I posted), but it could be a fluke.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
This would be random to find out if it works. I'll try myself too next time I get a SOD.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
I think it is more likely related to Wifi. Particularly, some app is not playing nice with the Wifi driver. Are you signed into Latitude in Google Maps?
[Nook Color General] jtrosky:
It figures - now that I WANT my Nook Color to experience SOD, the damn thing is running fine!!! :-)

I'm sure it'll happen again sooner or later (probably sooner) - I'll be sure to try the "shake to wake" idea and post my results!

Thanks for the info....
[Nook Color General] jtrosky:
FYI - My SOD finally came and no matter how much I shook my Nook Color, it would not come back to life (boy, did I look like an idiot, though!)...

Oh well, it was worth a shot!
[Nook Color General] magicalsleeper:
Darn no video of you trying that? OP should have asked for proof of people trying it. Haha :P
[Nook Color General] xristoforosth:

[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:

[Nook Color General] f308gt4:
LOL at all you shakers.

Oh well, it happened a few times on our Nook, haven't had an SOD since yesterday. Maybe it's a fluke or something related to our nook.

Oh well, I was hoping it would have been a solution.

At least I can get a laugh out of everybody shaking their nooks as if it were an etch-a-sketch.
[Nook Color General] jtrosky:
Hmm, on the latest nightly, I noticed that I sometimes get a pseudo-SOD! The screen will not come on, but if I repeatedly push the volume up/down buttons, I can tell the Nook is still running (it beeps when you press the vol keys). I've found that when this happens, I just wait a few seconds to a minute and try turning it on again and it comes on (did NOT reboot either). I had this happen to me about 3 times within an hour today!

Now there is another SOD-related problem? Or maybe related to the original SOD problem? Try pressing the vol buttons the next time you think you have SOD and see if they beep. If so, give the nook a minute or two and try turning on again... just curious if anyone else is seeing the pseudo-SOD issue as well...

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Just great. Now that I want it to have SOD so I can test this out, it's working awesomely. Maybe I should say i don't want SOD and it will sod.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
You need to use an app like Root Explorer or you can use terminal emulator and type in these commands (all without quotes and press enter after each one):

"su"

"cd /system/media/audio/ui"

"ls" -- this will list all of the files in the directory, find the one that you want to get rid of then type

"rm <filename>" replacing <filename> with the name of the file you want to remove. Hope this helps!

If you don't want to use adb or the terminal, download a program onyour computer called Android Commander. It's a gui that does the command stuff for you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonvibrant:
Are there certain types of ROMs or options in ODIN that would prevent pictures taken with the Vibrant from being wiped in the process?

My specific issue:

I uninstalled Google Maps after having some issues with it. After rebooting the screen goes into the boot cycle with the Samsung logo. The screen then turns black and the phone alternates vibrating with 1 vibrate and 3 vibrates with pauses between the two patterns

I can get to the download screen on the Vibrant, I have Odin installed and it recognizes my phone when it is in download mode. I have also installed ADB but it does not seem to recognize my phone.

My wife has a years worth of pictures and videos on the phone which I have not backed up. Is there a way to use ODIN to flash a ROM without deleting the pictures?

I read through the noob articles, but have not seen where it indicates that pictures will be deleted.

Thanks in advance,

I guess this has been answered previously but I'll save you some time, based on my experience... I flashed ODIN to stock from a custom froyo ROM and all my pictures (actually all the files I added) were left intact. I even checked the repartition box on odin.

Now my question is. If that info is so important why don't you do a backup? there's always something that can go wrong when flashing.
