[Nexus S General] Jeffrey000:
First I want to say there is a lot of information on this site, I have about 20 tabs open right now with threads that I think could help me, but I can not seem to put everything together.

I used the tutorial on nexusshacks to try and unlock my Nexus S. I first had to figure out how to get the drivers working, which kind of work on my laptop, as in I can see the phone in my computer, but I still get errors about some driver when I plug the phone into my laptop.

But on my desktop I can't get it to do anything after the first round of driver error messages.

I have Vista on my laptop, and Win7 on my desktop.

But now that I have that out of the way, I have been looking for some Odin thing to fix my phone. But I have no idea what is what and when I think I found what I need the links don't work.

I have:

Basebond version # I9020UCKD1

Bootloader Version# I9020XXKA3

My phone locks on the Google screen with the unlocked symbol.

I want to unlock and root it so that I can put MIUI on again, like I had on my N1.

This is proving much more difficult then the N1 though.

Any help would be great,

Thanks,
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
When the lock icon appears the phone is unlocked. You don't need root to install MIUI. Just get cwm recovery for your device, flash it via adb, navigate into custom recovery, mount sd card, copy miui on the device, wipe everything, install miui from sd card.

Get drivers from pdanet.
[Nexus S General] Jeffrey000:
ok I got drivers from pdanet, but I still can not seen the device in my computer.

I managed to get CWM recovery v3.0.2.4 on my phone and I am in it.

But now all the phone does it go into CWM recovery screen.

I can not see the phone from my computer, so can not place a zip on it to try and install from zip.

And no actual sd card means I can not just take it out and pop it into my computer :(
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Did hou mount sdcard in mount&storage than went to mount usb storage?
[Nexus S General] Jeffrey000:
Worked like a charm once I did that :)

Thank you!

Hi, it looks like the microphone sensitivity is not being adjusted when recording video on AOSP camera app, which results in much distortion for louder sounds. Sense camera does not appear to have this problem. Is there a way to fix this issue, or port the Sense camera to AOSP? Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmars69:
I am relatively newbee here. I had rooted my Incredible about a year ago to allow for wireless tether but since then I mistakenly allowed a verizon update. It never took the root away but left it with out being able to do mcuh with the root. So I decidde to unroot my phone. It is running 2.2 android and I ran the pb31img.zip file. Once that happened I can no longer get anything but the hboot screen and I really don't know what to do from here. Any help would be very much appriciated.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
What Verizon update are you talking about? I'm assuming you used the 2.2 RUU to unroot and get back to stock, where did you download it from and what is the file name? I know many people have used the files from www.dougpiston.com successfully. What do mean you only get the hboot screen? There's an option to reboot on that screen, what happens if you select that?

I connected my arc to my son's wireless network at his house. He did not know his password but I was able to find it on his laptop and then connected my arc and his X10 to his wireless network.

Great... they both work fine.

Now his laptop died and we do not know the password. Our phones still connect to his network fine but IS THERE A WAY to see the actual password that I have stored on my Arc for his wireless network?

I have tried 4 different radios and this phone still randomly reboots with frequency. I am the the 802 radio and it seems even worse then earlier radios. I am currently on gingerritis rom which i installed yesterday and have probably had 12 reboots since then.

Is it a combination of the rom and radio, or does just the radio make the phone reboot? I am really just tempted to flash it back to stock, sell it with the warning of this phone enjoys random reboots and get another phone.

while i typed this up it just rebooted twice on its own :mad:
[Thunderbolt General] brownsfan:
I dont think the radio is what is going to fix the reboot issue. I know for some of the roms the fix was flashing the ziggy kernel.

Maybe give that a shot.
[Thunderbolt General] sonami:
If hes using gingeritis, hes already using ziggy's kernel. Sounds weird i know, but try a new battery

Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
i think overclocking to high and all the kernel cpu mods are whats causing this, not the radios.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I agree. Ziggy's stock voltage settings are very conservative north of about 1.5GHz. If you're tweaking it, definitely pay attention to the voltage.
[Thunderbolt General] -magnum-:
nope not touching voltage or overclocking, i just put rom on thats about as far as i go tweaking phone.

Installed M0N0LITHTH3ORY rom and so far no reboots today, the gingeritis one must hate my phone cause in the less than 24 hours it was on the phone damn thing rebooted easy 10 times. But now this one is giving me some unexpected errors with weather app. I will give this one a week and see how it does and if no good on to next rom i guess.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Have you ever formatted /system?
[Thunderbolt General] -magnum-:
yeah every time i put new rom i go into clockwork recovery

i wipe / factory reset

then format /system /cache /data

and wipe davlik cache

then install rom
[Thunderbolt General] -magnum-:
double post...
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
i know my phone didnt like a few different roms. try a diffeerent one. also try doing each step 3 times. i did that after my phone rebooted on an a0sp rom by droidtheroy, after that it worked just fine on the rom that was rebooting
[Thunderbolt General] racedog:
You know what? I was having the same problem and tired as hell of my TB. I was so tired of the little problems and the large rebooting problem that I had learned to really hate this phone.

A few days ago I decided to just use the new leaked, stock, unrooted, GB 210 RUU and give that one more try before I either took a hammer to this phone or unrooted and tried to get VZW to replace it.

I've had the latest leaked RUU on this phone for a few days now and I'm loving it again. Yeah, stock, unrooted, but also super fast GPS locking, fast 3g/LTE switching, no more reboots, not one. Battery is actually not bad at all after turning off a few of the stock bloat like Blockbuster. The gui is fast and smooth, I can't say whether or not it is as fast as it was when I was running custom ROMs but as far as I'm concerned its a big who cares. I now have a nicely working phone again. This is just my experience and my opinion, YMMV!

[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
I got reboots with gingeritis and liquid ROMs, I've had no reboots in a week now running Virus' Synergy ROM. Try a different ROM, it should fix your problems.

Second the ROM recommendation. Try a different one. I had the same issue with wanting to grenade this thing until I found a combo of ROM and radio that was stable for my use and applications.

Now I wouldn't think of tossing this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] mi7chy:
Stability and battery life good for me with stock 1.70.605.0. Currently at 868 hours uptime.

yeah i am on monolith rom and so far no reboots, i am going to give this one a shot for now, hopefully this cures it.

Want something like this (below) made for your rom thread or to use in screenshot threads? Just give me all of the specifications and I will see what I can do. I am still in the learning process of all the tricks of doing this, but I have some skills with Photoshop so I figured I would put them to good use and help people out. *I make no guarantees that I will be able to find a usable picture of your type of phone or get it exactly as you want it, but I will do my best*

When requesting please specify:

-What type of phone you have/want the screenshots in.

-What type of background you want them on (transparent, gradient, solid, provide your own image).

-If you want reflections, shadows, your name, or anything else to go with it.

-You must provide your own screenshots for me to use.

-??? anything else you can think of.

This is a sample of one I made for a rom in the Incredible forum, yours doesn't have to look like this. This is just an example:

​

I also have the ability to make signature banners (check my signature for example) if you want those. Please remember that I am doing all of this just because I enjoy using Photoshop and helping people out. I will get to requests as my time permits and I make no guarantees. All I ask is you be courteous and hit my "Thanks" button if you like my work. Enjoy!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handyheld:
hi freaks.

used the freaking serach option, but didn´t find anything on this.

a friend of mine from the states gifted me his mytouch 4g. i´ve got it running nicely on wifi, but don´t get any 3g connection.

is this problem known?

i´m on th eplus network here in germany, my apn settings are correct. when i am at a spot, where i get 3g with my old samsung,

and put the sim in the glacier, i only get it showing H. G in bad locations, but never more then H.

is this problem known? here in germany, we don´t have 4g yet, so i would be really glad, to get 3G working.

any tips for a noob?

also, sidenote: when i´m on H, and viewing a website, it gives me a "stripped" look without pictures etc. is this some kind of "downsizing" and known problem?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Driveshaft:
When you get that "H", think of it as "3.5G" ...it's faster than the 3G network, but slower then 4G. It means your on T-Mo's HSPA+ network.

You can also "force" 3G... download "Any Cut" from the market, open it and make a shortcut using Activity. Select Phone Info, then select "WCDMA Only". If you don't want to download it, use the dialer and put in "*#*#3646#*#*" (I think that's it...) and it will do the same thing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your MT4G works fine. "H" is HSDPA or HSPA+, which is as said "3.5G" and is exactly what this phone supports.

It doesn't show you "4G" (which is only a marketing gimmick by itself - HSPA+ isn't a true 4G anyway), because it has no way to separate HSDPA and HSPA+.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handyheld:
great. thanks for the quick anwser.

i found a list for the speedsymbols, might be of interest for other noobs.

H = HSDPA je nach Netzbetreiber und Standort max. 1,8 oder 3,6 oder 7,2 Mbit/s

3G = UMTS max. 384 kbit/s

E = EDGE max. 220 kbit/s

G = GPRS max. 56 kbit/s

i was already asuming the glacier can´t handle 3G, only 4G..

the thing is, on my samsung galaxy it shows 3G and same sim in glacier shows H, wich ment, that the glacier had "stronger" signal. might bee. does the glacier have no 3G symbol at all?

why i was wondering, does anyone recognize this "downsized" internetbrowsing? i´m using dolphin browser, and evrything looks like an early tex only wepage.

unfortunately, i´m right now in a rural area, where i don´t have H or 3G, but will do speedtests tomorrow on both phones to compare.

under settings-wirelesss n networks - mobile networks.

i got that "wmcda" or gsm or both (auto) also, was already wondering, what that might be, so i´m gonna try that also 2moro.

-edit: found the fix for "downsized" browsing, google was forcing me to mobile view of wikipedia etc. never had that on my other phone..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Glacier has 3G symbol, but if you have the "mobile network constantly connected" option set to "On" and your cellular carrier supports it - it can stay on "H" constantly. Many stock ROMs don't show "H" at all, and only show "3G", to avoid just the type of reaction that started this thread :D So check if the Galaxy (S?) shows "H" at all, it probably doesn't.

Dolphin might have the option to show Mobile view and an option to skip downloading pics. Check that both options, if exist, are "Off".
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handyheld:
i assume, u mean "enable always-on mobile data" it was checked, will test it unchecked 2moro and then see, if it shows 3G, as i neverever saw it...

i still got the customrom, but already lurking around the different custom ones threads :cool:

if i don´t get t-mobile tv running (just started a new thread for that), i see no need for tmobile rom...

yes, my galaxy (3) shows H, but mostly (only as i know now) 3G in the citycenters, and the mt4g in the same location shows H... really got to speedtest that stuff...

found-the dolphin fix already, as posted, google and wikipedia forced me to mobile view.. now, a day later, (and sober), i see the switch to normal view link all the way down ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Roms contain the 3G, H, 4G, evdo/cdma, 2g, edge, icons....But you'll only see 3G when connected to UMTS, and H shows for HSPA+. Depending on signal strength you'll see a different icon in status bar. The major US carriers that use GSM consider HSPA+ 4G, this is false but they've made it as a fact....

"The ITU announced in December 2010 that WiMax, LTE, and HSPA+ are 4G technologies."

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
2G=Edge, I'm sure Germany has Edge data now, and G=GPRS or 1G. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handyheld:
obviously this phone isn't made for germany.. after the gingerbread update, it eather shows 2G or 4G, where we even't have 4G in germany.. speedtest shows 1294kb thats not much, but more then I expected... thx god. I know now, that 3g is working, wether it shows it or not..

How international roaming works, and why your device matters

Four frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) are used for wireless services worldwide. 3G frequencies include: 2100 3G; 1700/2100 3G.

Each phone has a radio transmitter-receiver that works on one frequency (single-band) or on more than one frequency (multi-band).

Since frequencies vary from carrier to carrier and country to country, you’ll need a device for international roaming that works on the frequency where you're traveling. If you have a “quad-band” device, it will work virtually anywhere there’s a wireless signal.

[Xperia Play General] Movax2:
I apologize, but since I have an xplay, I wanted to share this here, though this would probably work for any android phone - I found this the easiest way to access the files on the phone with the least amount of effort - especially if you are a fan of Total Commander.

Install SSHDroid. Run it. Grant it root access if available for full access to your phones filesystem.

Install Total Commander, find the SFTP plugin on this page:

(I can't post links.. google: plugins total commander)

I suggest you copy the plugin to the install folder of Total Commander. Install it as per instructions at the middle of the page.

EDIT:

How to install a file system plugin:

1. Unzip the plugin to a directory of your choice.

2. In Totalcmd, choose Configuration - Options - Operation - FS-Plugins

3. Click on "Add"

4. Choose the .wfx file of that plugin and click OK

You can now access the new file system via the Network Neighborhood.

You also require the DLLs libeay32.dll and libssh2.dll in the same directory as the plugin, which can be found in this file: (For win32)

Google: curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32.zip

Setup the passwords and now you have full ssh access as well as easy access to file functions in a nice GUI. And encrypted. (for free)
[Xperia Play General] danieljamie:
I use File Expert, and just press Share, then Start FTP Server and it just works through wifi easy as pie
[Xperia Play General] Movax2:
Yes indeed, there are many ways to do this.. this is ideal if you 1)like Total Commander (why wouldn't you?), and you 2)want to have SSH command line access. If you want these things anyway, or even if you want SSH access, there is no need to run another server on your phone.. and the added bonus of encrypted transfers. You could also use WinSCP.
