Anyone know the name of the usb debugging icon? The one that looks like a little bug? I'm trying to edit the framework-res, but can't find the little bugger anywhere.

edit: Found it...it's stat_sys_adb.png, in case anyone else didn't know already.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Get it from the market. The pro version is more versatile
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
is your phone rooted? I think tegrak can only OC if you have root.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kkoshko1:
but even if you OC witht hat app don't you have to set higher voltages or does this do it for you!?

[Nexus S General] agnl:
Starting off, I'm probably posting in the wrong section. Excuse my forum etiquette, but I need help with this because I'm insanely frustrated and in pain (Decided to learn how to exploit the android OS while recovering from my surgery).

So, if you've read past that first part and are still willing to help, thank you.

Moderators: If you absolutely need to move this post, please move it to a section where it will actually get attention and I can get an answer. Thanks.

Anyway, the breakdown of my problem is this;

I wanted to root my new day old Sprint CMDA Nexus S, I've never rooted anything android, and if anything the most I've done with a droid OS is installed it on my old iphone 2g.

So I did some googling and first thing to come up was this guide:

nexusshacks(dotcom)/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/

Now, usually I would do a bit more research, but because of the lack of blood in my body I'm doing dumb things, making bad decisions, whatever.

So obviously this guide doesn't work, even a quick skim of the comments shows that, I try to follow this guide-

I followed step "fastboot flash boot rootboot.img" then tried to reboot. It freezes at the google boot logo. This is where I start getting a bit nervous because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

So I think "Well, if I jump over to someone elses tutorial and do that it should overwrite any "root"ing data I've tried to put into the device.

So I jump over to this:

androidadvices(dotcom)/root-sprint-nexus-gingerbread-235-update/3/

It has me install PDANet and it's frozen since on the installing PDAnet to your phone.

I just want to get my Nexus S back to original factory default so I can start fresh from there without a terrible guide.

Can someone please help me get there?

Thanks.

tl;dr:

Bad guide soft bricked my phone and I want to restore it to factory defaults
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Ok I can see you need help but I am inclined to warn you instead. Stop. If you cannot figure out how to root the easiest phone to root then you shouldn't be messing around with your phone. You will end up screwing something up, won't know how to fix it, and come crying here for help. Do yourself some research before you go and ruin your phone.

Yes you posted in the wrong place.

There is a thread in this forum on how to root the nexus s 4g. Rooting is model specific. The T-Mobile Nexus s is different from the sprint, att, Rodgers, o2 etc.

Please please do some more research!
[Nexus S General] agnl:
Thanks for a reply, and I understand I dug a hole.

Now I need to get out of said hole, so if you had any directions of how to dig myself out, that'd be great.
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
if you can get into fastboot then you are still cool, if not you're gonna have to odin it. I dont actually know where the tar files are, Micheal posted it up but i think they deleted the thread. You should have came to xda first,we have one clicks.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
actually rooting is the same across the board. same steps same everything... in fact the one click root version 1 would work on any and all of them, version 2 branches out a bit further due to that it installs cwm.

anyways boot into fastboot, download stock fastboot images from petes thread found here http://wonderly.com/bb/CRESPO4G/OEM/GRJ22IMAGES.zip and flash them all in fastboot.

youll be back on stock grj22 but youll at least be booting.. from there follow a guide for rooting this phone that has you flash cwm (not a prerooted kernel). or be lazy and use my one click root :)

[EVO 4G General] EvoFroyo:
I'm on Froyo on my HTC Evo 4G. Can someone please tell me what is the easiest way to root my HTC EVO 4G Froyo? After rooting it, how would I go about updating to the latest 2.3 update and also keep the root? Any help would this would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Root.

Pick any ROM you want and flash it fromhere
[EVO 4G General] EvoFroyo:
I just came across Unrevoked3 (http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_root_your_current_EVO_4G_with_Unrevoked3), can't I use this guide to root instead? This looks way easier than the topic you mentioned, but I'm not sure what is the differnce.
[EVO 4G General] davidc23:
use unrevoked it you would like (: i used it. i had no problem with it.

just make sure you install the hboot drivers and then install htc sync then UNINSTALL IT. afterwards reboot your pc and run unrevoked (:

i hope im not missing any steps.
[EVO 4G General] {ParanoiA}:
Just search on youtube for unrevoked vids. It will walk u rite through it. After you root and get s-off you can upgrade to 2.3 and keep s-off.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xXpatisXx:
ive tried all 3 button combo methods and nothing. i cant do adb because my phone wont recognized my devices. ive tried everything. =[
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Including the battery pull, vol + and -, then plugging the usb cable in?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ssmokey727:
what about volume down and power at the same time when the phone is off?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xXpatisXx:
Yes and yes to the second one too. i just dont know what the problem is. the phone is just stuck in android recovery mode. im sure its not bricked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Seems like it's a bootloader issue. It's not switching to other boot modes since they're all on different partitions. I'd say it's time to send it in for warranty 'cause without getting into download mode or having a custom recovery you aren't gonna be able to do much with it.

[Nexus One General] Lost Dog:
Sorry... This really has nothing to do with much but I have to say that I love my N1. I'm constantly finding new things that amuse me.

I'm at 35k feet right now flying across the US. Alaska Air is offering free in flight wifi for phones (tried with my laptop and it was no-go). Out of a hunch, I connected to wifi with my N1 then turned on USB tethering. Sure enough, I'm now online with my laptop through my Cyanogen nightly based N1.

To top it off I was upgraded to first class.

Woot!

I had no idea you could USB tether through a wifi connection. Good to know.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Hah! Lucky you. First class really kicks ass. I've been there once cuz of canceled flight. But yeah you can usb tether via wifi. Just not a hotspot lol.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddfuturejoey:
Hey does anyone know if it'd be able to make it so we can unlock the evo without any hardware use? I mean completely bypassing the button on the top and just sliding from one side of the bezel to the other like Blackberry Playbook users?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
The name of the app is escaping my mind right now. But there is one where you can tap the Proximity Sensor and it will turn on the screen.

I know it's not sliding across the screen, but lets you bypass the power button. Widget locker can use any hardware key you set.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Critical Detox:
It just occurred to me but the whole tap tap app has sprung lots of ideas with it, have the proximity sensor turn on the flash light with the same method, or perhaps pause/play a song or skip a song........just to name a few lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Went to Daytona for a few days and was excited to get to try 4G for the first time. Had my Evo 4G for a year and never got to try it because, well, it's available about nowhere. So I get there and I see 4G! on the notification bar. Turned it on just to see "Scanning... Disconnected...Scanning...Disconnected". At first I thought maybe my WiMax stuff got killed when I rooted so I tried my wife's 3vo (which has never seen root): same deal.

Called Sprint and long story short, they said, "Oh, you can't be in a building... got to be on the street." I was right in the middle of the 4G Sprint coverage on the map but I noticed if you zoom in far enough, there are only tiny pockets (like a block in size) where it works in buildings. I actually went to one of those areas. Didn't work there either. Had to be outside. Worked OK outside.

I'm surprised with all the talk about 4G and "I have it" and "I don't", no one has ever mentioned the fact that it only works if you go outside, face the 4G tower, and stick a fork up your arse for better reception. :rolleyes:

Used 3G the whole time I was there. It worked. 4G was useless.

Is LTE any better?

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
After trying 4g in Chicago suburbs, Northern Atlanta, and Knoxville plus smaller lesser known towns that also carry 4g, I learned to just stay on 3g and forget bothering with the hassle of 4g. Its a joke. 3g is fine and fast enough.

[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I must be fortunate, because the Las Vegas / Henderson area are smothered with 4G everywhere I go. I can even connect to it inside casinos/hotels on the strip. Sitting in my bedroom right now i have all 3 bars and am getting 9mb down and 1.4mb up, which is typically what I see all the time. I've never been in another 4G market except for Boston, and I got decent service there too. The only time I really find it to blow is when driving. It doesn't hand off from one tower to the next smoothly, and it will drop out for a minute before it reconnects.

I live in Oregon. And yes, it sucks something terrible while inside. I still get it on some occasions. But when I'm home I'm on wifi, when I'm at others houses I'm on their wifi.

When I'm out and about driving around or in a store I'm on 4G without much issue. And I average 6mb now. Peak at 11mb and lowest is 2mb. I'm totally OK with it. Of course I would be beyond d thrilled if 4G was moved to the 800mhz spectrum.

Being someone who travels the US for a living, I use 4G everywhere its available. I dont pay for hotel internet, so I use wireless tether. The speeds I see are faster than WiFi...

You will be waiting along time for Lightsquared's 4g, if it ever happens. Their interference issue with GPS has not been solved and when they moved their signal to a frequency farther away from GPS's freq it didn't help. Every aviation group, FAA, military, civillian gps manufacturers and now the agricultural gps users have formed a no go line in the sand and congress is on board now. Lightsquared is going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure their **** out.

[HTC EVO 3D] heygrl:
I'm in Las Vegas and the 4G sucks here. It doesn't even exist in parts of Las Vegas like Anthem. Southern Highlands/7Hills/Mountains Edge? Please.. If you do get a signal, you better not be inside of a house on the first story, and if you do get a signal on the second or third level you should perch yourself up next to the window if you want to hold it. These are just the areas where you don't really expect a WiMAX signal. Tons more places where you have it and two steps later you don't like my friends apartment complex.

Driving with WiMAX is also atrocious. Lots of drop outs and the data does NOT handoff between networks when you lose 4G. When you factor in Sprint's 3G speed around Las Vegas it really makes for a poor data experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Damn, really? I get 800-1200 down on 3g all the time. I have had good luck with 4G around my area (windmill/pecos) and most everywhere else I've ever tried to turn it on, I've been able to connect no problem. I will admit it sucks while driving. I mainly use it at my house. 3G I find acceptable everywhere else. Odd.
[HTC EVO 3D] tsunami987:
4G is a joke, because Sprint doesn't take it seriously at all. They charge people 10bucks a month for "Premium Data", which is what would be renamed 4G service if they'd take it seriously. Think i'm full of ****? I may or may not have noticed the fact that there is an unactivated WiMax repeater in a particular building I may or may not work in about two miles from my house. Been there for over a year, no dice as to when it will be activated...
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Well, for me, it's well justified, because I get close to 10 mbps down all around my area with WiMax.

Give it some fricking time. WiMax isn't going to be the future of Sprint anyway, the reason they're not as agressive with the WiMax as they could be is because that "premium data charge" is going towards fully building out their new LTE network. YOu can be damn sure the premium data charge will be gone with LTE hits.
[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
Its really annoying when youre downloading a big file while youre driving and then the damn 4g drops and your download fails.

Verizons lte is much much better. Its so damn fast, i downloaded a 1gb file in 12 minutes and it doesnt fail miserably when you go in a building.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I think what you need to re-evaluate then is why you're downloading a large file while you're driving. But then again, if being able to download large files while driving is your measure of a good signal, maybe Verizon is where you should be at.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Not surprising at all to see the huge variation. It matches perfectly with Sprint's 4G coverage maps. Zoom in and you can see that whether or not you can get a 4G signal inside depends literally on what block/building you are in. Those who say it's great inside (the minority from what I've read) are probably sitting right on top of a 4G tower.

I'd actually be quite content with 3G even if it had only 500 kbps consistent. But that's just me. I have no need to download gigabytes while I'm away. I need consistent connection to the internet so I can do things like keep an eye on the weather, my company's forums, download email, etc. Even that was problematic at Daytona though. I got between 20k and 60k bits per second there on 3G. I even hit up Roam Control for some help: forced it to roam and it was only slightly better, so that made me wonder if the Daytona area was just saturated. Here at home where the cows roam, I get zero to 1 bar of service and my 3G is 150k to 400k.

Anyway, I'm a Sprint/Evo fan. I like their unlimited plans, prices, and the Evo so I won't be going anywhere. The reason I started this thread was that I tried 4G in the heart of a city that offered it, and found it to be useless unless you go outside and hold your phone in the air. I found that surprising as that makes it pretty much useless to me, so I wanted to find out if others have observed the same thing. From what I'm reading, the answer is yes. The majority have found it to be more trouble than it's worth so they just stick to 3G. I'm now in that camp! I'd be MORE than happy if Sprint simply focused on the 3G network and made it as reliable/fast as it could be. I've never seen more than about 800 kbps on 3G. If they improved the 3G network so you could reliably and consistently get 1.5Mbps to 2Mbps, I'd never even give 4G another thought.
