[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
If you're rooted, most likely you will not get the OTA notification. That's not a big deal. When ICS hits, it's going to hit here just as quick if not quicker. You'll most likely get an error if you try to flash an official OTA on a rooted device, has to be stock.

Btw, Oxygen is my ROM of choice, so I await his ICS 4.0 ROM anyway. Heck with the OTA.

So I rooted today, before I rooted I was on 2.3.7 after I rooted I was on 2.3.4 and it told me there was an update, so I took the update the screen went black showed the picture of the Android with a ! Next to it, after about an hour I pulled the batter and when I booted back I was still on 2.3.4 and it no longer says I have an update.

Manually update, look in rom manager under peter Alfonso for 2.37

Hey guys, The overlord Google has finally released the ICS Source code to the public.

So I am hoping our awesome Devs here can bring us a feature packed ICS ROM for our G-FIT phones. I know there will be some issues and some hacking required but I am sure it will be very worth it.

Here are the links for the Source Code and information.

ICS 4.0.1: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/T4XZJCZnqF8
[HTC ChaCha] e.japonica:
well... good to hear that. but hopefully got some pro devs able to port for us then people like me beginner able to try do something on it... hehehe...
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
It's going to be somewhat annoying to port, since Google changed the hardware interface (camera, gps, lights, etc.) again apparently for no good reason. This means most existing 2.3 proprietary libraries cannot be used as-is (in particular libcamera and libaudio) -- instead I guess generic wrappers will have to be developed, much like the existing gpsshim.

EDIT: I may have spoken too quickly -- it could be easier than I previously thought.
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
Hopefully, if we can get a official CM support / ROM, we will be able to go to ICS.

thats the basic configuration right ??

I meant, like the different chips in the device.. Like the Wifi chip Model, etc..

Isn't it all needed to compile an ICS build ??

I am a total beginner.. But since ICS could be ported to the G1 and Nexus one and other low end devices, why not for our chacha ??

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajiga:
I have Nexus S 2.3.6. I am planning to do "Factory data reset" because i have a Primary Account configured and not using any more. I have another Google Account which i want to change it to Primary.

I am ready to loose all the Data (Including SD Card Data).

If if do "Factory data reset", Will my Nexus S go back to old Android Version (2.3.1) or Will it still remain in 2.3.6 (Build GRK39F).

Please help in answering my Query.

I am preparing my Nexus S for the ICS OTA Update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:
Yes, you will remain on 2.3.6 obviously.

Anyway, if you only want to change configured accounts, you can do this in the setting panel. And, last but non least, factory resetting will not format your SD card ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajiga:
Thanks for the quick reply "gnaurittiello".

I can see an option "Erase USB storage" checkbox while doing the "Factory data reset". Hope this will clear all the data on the internal USB storage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnaurittiello:
Yes, if you check that option it will erase also your SD.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajiga:
I did the Factory Reset. All my Apps, Accounts, Date on SD Card gone.

My Nexus is ready for ICS Update.

Thanks to XDA and gnaurittiello

Please mark this Thread as Solved.

HEy !!!!! After factory reset, how are you saying that you are going to receive ICS official update?

Plz reply

Thanx in advance ::::: :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspader:
OP just wants to clear account and get ready to install ICS. He/she could also actually factory reset after installing ICS.

To answer your question go to settings about phone and check for software updates with internet connection. you dont need to factory reset to do it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decker39:
Do any UK Atrix owners know whether this update is ever going to happen for our phones? The only mod i've made to my Atrix is to root it, but i'm seriously tempted to unlock my bootloader and start to enjoy the custom roms available for this great phone.

I've heard that there is a phone called the Atrix2 MB865 and is being shipped with OS 2.3 gingerbread as of october 2011 in the usa. So trying not to be too negative i personally don't think orange will update my MB860 before summer next year. I am giving it till the end of january and then i'll unlock my bootloader. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_atrix_2-4199.php
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
I doubt there will ever be an GB update for the UK out-of-datrix.

Killed any passion I had for motorola - BOS if you ask me - I'll never buy another one of there ****ty phones ever again & will recommend to everyone they aviod them like the plague.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decker39:
Yeah i've read that too, i also read somewhere that the Atrix is now EOL and isn't even 12 months old yet!! I can't believe this personally as this is still one of the fastest phones out there, and probably has the hardware to run ICS let alone Gingerbread.:(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
I wish I could just "give" you my GB OTA. I have the Bell Atrix and am staying on Froyo. I've come close of pulling the trigger on my GB OTA, but I keep hearing the horror stories about battery life not being as good and others wishing they could go back to Froyo that I'm staying put.

I've used Gingerbread on my SGS and SGSII, and IMO GB doesn't have anything that I want anyway.

Now ICS is a completely different story. You should check out the ICS Launchers or ICS themes (some are in the market) and you won't even think about GB.

Hopefully we all get ICS (or go the CM9 route) because GB can easily be skipped over and left forgotten IMO...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deech:
Feel the same way, wont get a Moto Phone again, but I have a Xoom and that is nice :)

I'll give it till Feb (as I'm away for several months soon) and see if we have CM9 or else wack CM7 on and be done with it.....Going to go back to HTC or maybe a Sammy next time....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:

Theres something about that web address that doesnt add up...
[HTC Sensation XL] nintendolinky:
Cant you just provide the recovery.img, I cant seem to download it from the Chinese site.
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
Are you sure downloading it is a good idea?

Does anyone remember that jailbreak for the ipod/iphone that did bugger all but replaced the boot animation with a russing bloke waving? lad at our work does :D I take one day off and they think they know what they are doing...
[HTC Sensation XL] nintendolinky:
I need to as my phone is a bit corrupt as i have removed some system files that i need.
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
thats an arse, nothing much to loose then, AFAIK you have to sign up to that site and then download the .img,, since thats not likely to happen anytime soon and the OP has 2 similar posts to his name might be quicker to take your phone to the shop and complain its not working,, usually the story of "it randomly rebooted, maybe due to an OTA update, and since then it wont do anything?"

works with most phones, not that I have any previous affiliation to a phone shop that was closed by H/O in a shortsighted d**k move to merge all the assets together.... oh 5 years ago....
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
I'm a bit late to the party so will try the recovery
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
the recovery works and i dont see any issues apart from chinese text. no english LOL. gonna flash cappys rom looking at an english still of clockwork mod lol

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

i for one will not be flashing the boot.img as not sure what it is. some mention of s-off is there but also that recovery wouldnt give access to boot partitions. not sure if i wanna stretch my lucky streak to flashing boot.img i am not sure off

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

no download link just boot.rar file. what exactly does this boot.img do as it seems that you need to flash it before installing the rom
[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
untill someone with sense can take appart the boot.img then noone will know.... Virus?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
doesnt seem likely to be a virus as the recovery is fine. just wanna know more before flashing whole new boot.img is all.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
download link up and i am downloading this chinese rom which should have english. imma flash it and maybe post it on megaupload to see if one of our guys can use it to help have our 1st fully functional custom rom
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
flashed this rom and it booted - rather quickly i admit. too many chinese characters left after choosing english at setup

1. friend stream widget is not there nor is fb or twitter log in at setup. no widget even in add widget to homescreen............. must have been removed

2. wifi is moody as signal fluctuates good to bad

3. chinese anzhi market is of no use as all in chinese and rather slow to load and download.

4. signature errors on root explorer and super user app update from market so unable to install them. evferything seems to be rooted to anzhi market hence errors with signature files

5. more chinese characters in browser so if you are chinese you will love this rom

wrapping up

rom is very quick and smooth. all i tried worked but will keep using till something else is offered with full english translation
[HTC Sensation XL] riz157:
Thanks for feedback.
[HTC Sensation XL] adnan.makarevic:
can somebody upload this rom, i cant get it from this chinese site.. :( maybe im able to restore the stock ruu over this rom when its installed and phone boot up.??
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Yea you have to register on site which is tedious. You need the boot.img as well as it enable cwm to boot partition correctly. I will upload to megaupload and ask OP to add to homescreen. Also post boot.img as zip here.
[HTC Sensation XL] adnan.makarevic:
im not sure that i understand you right.. **also post boot.img as zip here** you mean i should post my boot.img here?? is it not possible to flash that rom easy as a zip file, i mean, the cwm which you can install in the cwm theard is his one from the rom dev self or not?

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

ok i see your description in the chapy theard.. if you can upload both, boot.img and the rom it would be great.. to flash the boot.img --> fastboot flash boot boot.img??
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
apologies for the confusion mate :D

you need to flash the boot.img prior to flashing chinese rom and yea the fastboot commands are correct. then go into recovery and flash the chinese rom. after messing with chinese rom etc then can flash cappy rom then patch and reboot after wiping as normal. it should boot up then. i think that some of the files needed to boot cappy rom is embedded in the chinese rom of which the boot.img plays a major role
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
boot.im

here is the boot.img from chinese site

uploading rom to megaupload as we speak but after flashing this boot.img maybe retry cappy rom to see what happens. will post link for rom once done
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
here is mega-upload mirror for chinese rom

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M971YNF2

coool, im downloading it.. ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
chinese rom is fully functional mate but language is english and chinese............. however after flashing chinese rom and using for a bit i flashed cappy rom again with patch and it booted fine.
[HTC Sensation XL] adnan.makarevic:
english its ok for me.. im not sure, but this boot.img from the chinese rom, have i to replace it again before i try to install a stock ruu??
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
nope its ok as when flashing cappy it also flashes boot.img during install. the chinese rom needs it as no boot.img within rom package so it wont boot. something to do with recovery not writing correctly to boot partition when flashing chinese rom. i just followed his instructions as its his rom:) anyway it will be fine as i did the same exact thing and my phone is working fine with cappys rom almost 3 days now
[HTC Sensation XL] jamieelockey:
what command would i use to flash boot.img via adb?

EDIT:

also how to flash recovery.img? sorry if these are silly questions, im still learning haha

is it something like /path/to/<recovery>.img?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
we were all there at one point lol

boot.img and recovery need to be flashed via fastboot. need to place boot.img and recovery.img in your fastboot/adb folder or wherever these commands are stored. boot into bootloader and press power button to select fastboot. phone should now display fastboot usb plug. then open cmd prompt and navagate to adb/fastboot folder and run command.

recovery - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

once done can load recovery from bootloader highlighted green. use power to select. reboot bootloader and flash boot.img

boot flash - fastboot flash boot boot.img

i would advise putting the rom zip on sdcard at some point either prior or after flashing recovery then flash boot.img then rom from recovery
[HTC Sensation XL] me_tonel:
Is there any way to copy the rom while in fastboot?

I am stuck and cannot access the internal storage in windows to put in the rom...

And if I try a stock rom it freezes at 16%.

btw i got in this by flashing cappy's rom, did all the steps, but did's read the thread till the patch and now my xl is stuck on the android logo
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
It's simple mate. While in bootloader click on recovery to load it. In recovery go to mounts and storage then USB storage and that will mount internal sdcard. Copy Rom to it then unmount it to continue process in recovery. Don't see how you got so stuck as if you did a backup all you need to do is restore. Guys the procedures are self explanatory so please follow them
[HTC Sensation XL] me_tonel:
Oh...thanks!

Just left the iPhone after an almost 4years ride and as much backgound I have with it, I'm new to androids. Unfortunatle, I'vd seen the backup/restore option after f****** it up so... but will try a reflash tomorow and hope to get it right this time.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Welcome and go easy. Walk before you run lol. You should be ok if you follow the steps carefully. Once Rom is on phone then you can flash after wiping etc. Good luck
[HTC Sensation XL] me_tonel:
i'll be sure to read everything more carefully fron now...

by wiping do you mea formatting /cache /data from recovery?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
yep

wipe data/factory reset

then go to mounts/storage and format system

then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache and battery stats

then install rom

***** remember to fastboot flash the boot.img prior to flashing rom in recovery
[HTC Sensation XL] me_tonel:
Well, coldn't make the rom work like this neither... tried capy's boot.img, chinese one, after formating, and as last resolve relocked the bootrom and got back to stock... i will wait for another capy release and give it a try, till then i'm happy to get my phone working again.

Thanks for the help given so far!
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
It's quite obvious you did something wrong as everyone has got it working barr you. If instructions are followed to the letter there can be no problems. The steps need to be done exactly as stated and success is guaranteed.

These steps will still need to be followed for next cappy or any others
[HTC Sensation XL] rshahamiri:
Would please someone provide another mirror? Megaupload is blocked by my ISP and the original one is in Chinese. TQ

I know the news has been going about that official source has been released for ICS an course like a lot of other people are wondering what it can be ported over to. Now me i personally have no clue how to translate all the technobabble dealing with creating roms from source but I'm sure there people here that do understand it all what would it take to get ICS on our phones? Like i said i have no clue in reality what goes into rom creating with phone drivers an framework tweaking (i know our phone is "special") but just curious.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
Nobody here can get gingerbread on it let alone ics. Don't hold your breathe for either one. Lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dan_Brutal:
dw9906 said it best. Its not impossible Im sure, But, it would be close to it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
Definitely not impossible. Just need the right people to work on it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
You can't go from froyo --> ICS , it'll be impossible you need to work with GB --> ICS if your doing a SDK port , if your doing a source then i don't know .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
Well making a ICS port for the sidekick i'd hope it be using the source since then with source you could create a kernal aswell a the rom
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
You have no idea what your talking about.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
ask anyone who has ported a SDK , your going to need to work with a AOSP base or perferably CM7 base w/ a CM7 kernel , you don't know what your talking about .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
He is talking about source code not a SDK port.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
It would take much time & work , let's get GB first .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
well isn't the issue with GB that we DON"T have the source code for GB so you can't hand make a kernal for our device? While with ICS with the source out we could hand make the kernal and the roms so they work on out system if i'm understanding how to create a android rom an kernal correctly its easier to work from source then from SDKs or porting a rom from another.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
The issue with porting GB is that we don't have a source designed for our phone. there's all sorts of GB sources released, but none that have been designed for our phone. That ICS source is the same source that CM is based on, it's AOSP (all open source project), but it still requires a newer kernel.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
Its "Android Open Source Project" not "All Open Source Project", that's funny.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Once we get a GB port , I'll try to work on a ICS SDK port , I'm talking about the first day we get Gingerbread .
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dw9906:
If it's like your other SDK Ports than don't Get excited. They never boot.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
i must ask according to your signature you have a galxy nexus? how did you get it? or you just messing arounf which is likely

and sdk ports suck its either source or nothing
