[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
I don't think you get it. Nexus S is a development phone and comes with a factory built-in unlocker. This means you do NOT void your warranty when unlocking or rooting.

It is however recommended that you return to stock and lock the bootloader before returning the phone for any warranty needs because most idiots at sprint stores or service centers don't know any better even though the rules clearly tell them they must service the Nexus S even if rooted.

Now, to answer your question, when you restore back to stock and close bootloader the phone is indistinguishable from factory settings and data. So no, the bootloader unlocking is NOT permanent.

On a side note, you will have to use the Samsung exe to restore your phone to factory settings along with locking the bootloader if you want the original recovery. But I think there is an img of the original available somewhere.

Also, to replace the recovery you MUST use adb. There is a one click to do that but all it does is do all the steps you would do manually and still needs all drivers installed.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
It clearly states while unlocking your bootloader that by doing so your warranty is voided.

While Sprint's policy is to in fact service unlocked/rooted phones this is not the case for all carrier's.

Returning or attempting to return a phone that is unlocked can very well have you turned away since your warranty is voided in many cases, especially depending on the carrier of the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
When I unlocked my phone the first time I had NO such disclaimer. This was something added later with an update. Therefore I did not void my warranty and anyone else can argue the same.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm pretty sure that the screen has always had the warranty information on it after you type "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot and then you have to acknowledge the unlock on the phone. It was part of the original Nexus One unlock screen and I'm sure part of the unlock on Nexus S. Especially if you're on the NS4G which came out months after the original NS. I know I had to acknowledge it when I unlocked mine. It only makes sense that if you willingly unlock your device and flash something you shouldn't in example a radio for a different model and brick your device the manufacturer isn't responsible for your mistake.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Actually the voiding of warranty really isn't something this phone was meant for. The built-in bootloader is very much locked and prevents anyone from bricking it. I don't see how you can damage it by flashing your own software and how such a disclaimer even makes sense. I see the bootloader no different than any BIOS on a PC and your recovery and OS just like anything found on any other PC's hard drive. You are allowed to install whatever you wish.

I think the mentality isn't there yet and all the carriers worry about having to replace broken phones. This is something Google wanted to avoid with the Nexus brand in the beginning.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
No. I actually looked for that on mine. In fact, if you use the original Samsung exe to restore the phone and then unlock it without taking any updates you will not get any disclaimers. At least when it comes to NS4G.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
Being a member of these forums should give you quite an idea of just how much damage someone can do to their phone having root privileges or an unlocked bootloader. Looking through the Q&A section on any phones board is full of people who have screwed up their device doing something to their phone that wasn't the manufacturer's intention. The manufacturer shouldn't be responsible for replacing these devices, that it why it is necessary some type of warranty disclaimer.

Running custom ROM's and kernel's can make the phone run in a manner that it wasn't intended too, such as overclocking and undervolting. By all means it your device and you should be able to run it how you want, but if you do something to your phone that ruins it, the manufacturer shouldn't be held responsible. In my opinion I don't think you should be able to relock your device much like it was with the original Nexus for that reason. Do what you want with your phone, but don't look for a free replacement if you damage it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Yes, I agree with that but I still think there is not a single Nexus S phone out there that is truly bricked and all the people who scream it terror simply did something wrong and just got stock without recovery and ROM installed. They make it sound like it's bricked but a simple adb command to flash recovery or the Samsung exe file would restore the phone. I don't see how you can kill it, even increasing the voltage will simply trigger the processor's temperature monitor to shut it down.

This also begs the question, why give an option to re-lock the phone? If you can make it so that there is no trace of rooting/unlocking, the disclaimer is purely ethical. It simply is there for the unwise because it still takes a salary wage for the technician to work on someone's phone.
[Motorola Triumph] tcross8361:
I bought a 32 gb micro sd off ebay! I've heard of some people getting bad cards off there. The one I've got is a Sandisk 32 gb class 4.

I've been able to do these things:

-It reads 30.9 gb available space after formatting it.

-Format it from the phone.

-Move my apps to it and they function fine.

- record video and take pictures and view from the phone.

Now when it comes to putting MP4 movies on it, I've been able to get 3 to work. Any others I put on it it either won't read them or the video doesn't play right. I have a class 2 16 gb sandisk that has no problems at all.

My questions are these. How do I know if I got a fake one, is there a way to test it? Are there any ideas on a way to fix this?
[Motorola Triumph] TomXP411:
I'm running a 32gb class 4 card in my phone with no problems.

Are you saying that the <i>same files</i> work on the 16gb card, but not the 32gb card? I'm having a hard time with that idea; the card doesn't care what the file is; its only job is to store the bits.

It is possible that you're hitting a bad spot on the chip, and that the larger video files happen to be the ones hitting the bad spot, but I've never actually heard of an SD card that "sort of" works; every one I've ever had has either worked or not worked.

If you're having trouble with video files in general, the problem is more likely the encoding of the video files. If you're trying to view downloaded movies, you could be hitting unsupported resolutions, bit rates, or encoding schemes. There also seems to be a wide variation in h.264 encoders, so some will work great and others will fail miserably.

One thing you could do is find an encoder that works for you, then run any movies you acquire through that encoder to ensure that you have a uniform resolution, bit rate, and h.264 encoding setting.
[Motorola Triumph] jjuanml22:
Hey Tom thanks for helping OP out. Regarding the 32gb card, how much did you pay for it? I was looking in amazon and they are 45 dollars. Did you find a better deal?
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
30.9 gb sounds right. The rest of the card is dedicated to storing a map of where the files are stored.

If you think the video files are corrupted, try playing them on your computer from the card.....they should work. In that case you just have a funky file that isn't working in your phone.

Moboplayer is my favorite media player, if it needs any extra codecs to work, it'll let you know. Just make sure to change the video decoding to "software" after that, I believe.
[Motorola Triumph] idbl_fanatic:
What are you guys using to get all of the files transferred from an old card to the new card, I have formatted it on the phone, on the computer, tried copying from the computer to the card using a USB adapter, tried copying over the same way but in 3 separate batches, The phone is seeing the card and 26G free, but none of my programs are showing up. I am now trying this, formatted the card in the phone, and copying through the phone.
[Motorola Triumph] tcross8361:
I just used a card reader and copied the files onto the computer then from my computer to the new card. Also i think it was a bogus card. The guy offered a full refund but now that he got it back, I havent heard from him. I filed a buyer protection claim. I read a n article in ebay forums about bogus 32 gb cards being sold. They're only 2 or 4 gig cards made to look like 32's. Anyone else heard of this?

I have just bought my Htc Hd2 a few days ago. My Wifi on the phone seems to be playing tricks on me. I am connected to the Wifi, but only sometimes when I am lucky that I can go on the internet. I have no idea why it doesn't work 100% the time like the iphone4. I have tried factory reset the hd2 and it is the same. My modem connection works all the time I even tried going on the internet on the same wifi as my computer and it works on my computer. How can I fix this problem or is the hd2 always like that.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanatictentacle:
Hi to all

I have a student-dev unlocked Phone and updated to Mango the official way. I saved my Backup in the WP7 Restore point Folder to another Folder.

I wanted to go back to pre-Mango now, but when I try to use the Backup-Tool it always says, that the Support Tool Version (4.7.x) does not match the Zune Version (4.8.x). Obviously there is no way in the moment to downgrade zune to 4.7 due to the fact, that zune 4.8 is now the official build.

Has anyone a possible solution for getting my backup to my phone?

In theory yes. You would just need to find the sprint settings and put them all back, and find out the MSL was originally on that phone and put it back on.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
EDIT: I managed to fix it by first updating my old ass recovery (2.5.0.7 to 5.0.1.0) and then connecting my phone to fastboot and erasing system/boot/cache using Fastboot Commander 1.51. Flashed the new Nightly, then wipe dalvik(cache/data and voila :) works!

Hello!

I was running CM7 7.1-RC1 and backed everything up with Titanium Backup before deciding to hop onto the nightly-bandwagon.

So I downloaded the nightly (#183), checked it's MD5 sum both on my PC's desktop and once it was on the phone (all passed), rebooted and flashed as normal while wiping Dalvik/Cache/Data(Factory reset) after flashing.

When booting, it won't get passed the alpharev "why so serious" logo (been stuck there for 25 mins now).

Reentering recovery, it now states an error:

"E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log (No space left on the device)"

The only way for me to fix it is to reflash my nandroid backup and go back to 7.1-RC, although I'd love to try the nightlies..

What's wrong? How do I fix it? I googled my error and came up with a few threads here and there but they didn't offer any fix other than a few saying to try and reflash HBOOT. I also checked the suggested "similar threads" but to no avail.

Does anyone know of any other solution?

[Captivate General] veener79:
I was not planning on this. But my Fiance was having some proplems with her phone that she has had for about year. I have had my Captivate for less then a year. I went though customer support (retentions) and they offered me a great deal to get my Fiance a HTC Inspire for her first smart phone and to upgrade me to the Infuse.

Also getting free upgrades for my folks that do not have smart phones. Guess going on 10 years with Cingular/ATT payed off.

I now I am going to have a Infuse next week. I am not sure what to do with mh Captivate. I have loved running CM7on my phone. Not sure if I want to do it with the Infuse though and try and keep it stock for a short time. :D This is the first time I am upgrading my phone where my old one is not about to die.

Is it worth selling my old Captivate or is there a good reason to keep it? I am not sure what to do to be honest.
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
I would sell the Infuse and get the Galaxy SII.
[Captivate General] veener79:

[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
Selling it would be smart except with the SGS 2 around the corner there's not much of a market any more.

A few months ago somebody made a Captivate Touch ROM too that basically deletes out all the phone functions and lets you use it like an Ipod.
