however i want to downgrade! As i searched trough internet i couldnt find any answers besides your advice (which did not work for me). If you could help me i will be really appreciated. Please help me and my hopeless situation :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafael Cadina:
Unroot your phone, then you'll be able to flash anything you want, even 2.3.3 no matter what rom you're currently using.

Good luck!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdasd1122:
Great! Thank you so much however I don't know how to flash it :/ (n00b)! It would be perfect I'd you could explain it to me too! Thank much you sooooo much again!!! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BartmanJax:
I'm going to follow this thread closely.

Noob here too.

I have the bone stock NS, I9020T (not rooted) and got the OTA update of ICS 4.0.3. Like the OS but there are too many apps that are either buggy or simply don't work on ICS.

I downloaded the "Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader" rom from here on XDA, renamed it to "update.zip" and copied it to the phone. When into the bootloader, selected Recovery and then selected "apply update from /sdcard" and selected "update.zip"

When trying to install the "old" rom, I get this error:

--Install /sdcard ...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: !less_than_int(1316544229. getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I have looked all over the XDA site, Android Central and searched Google in general and can't find some simple step-by-step instructions to go back to Gingerbread.

I am SO looking forward to someone to tell me (us) what we're doing wrong and what I (we) need to do to get back to Gingerbread.

Thanks in advance from a Moderator from another (motorcycle) message board.

UPDATE: Installed fastboot and my bootloader is unlocked. Tried again to go back to GB using the steps above and I still get the same error.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdasd1122:
As a matter of fact it is not that easy my friend :) i also tried that method however it did not worked for me too, it gave me the same error. So as rafael said we gotta unroot our phones and we can flash it from there (but how? :D) it would ve awesome if someone could help :)

Thanks :)

BRICKED!!!

OK i think i bricked my phone :( after unrooting it i finally got back to gingerbread but a gingerbread that is only capable of mounting and unmounting the storage :( after unrooting suprisingly clockworkmod recovery was gone! most of the tasks end unexpectedly such as acore, setupwizard and calendar. in android system recovery i have only 4 options: reboot the system, apply update from /sdcard and wipe various data. Besides my mac doesnt see the nexus s via ADB. I am wrecked what should i do?? Any pro tips??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManicGibbon:
First off, I want to reassure you that your phone is not "bricked". If it was bricked, it would be completely unusable, wouldn't turn on, show anything on the screen etc.

It sounds like you didn't wipe your data before installing the new ROM. This can lead to force closes and issues like what you are experiencing - I have done the same before.

It will be possible to recover your phone. You say in the Android recovery you have access to "Apply Update from SD Card" - simply use this option to flash another ROM, but this time make sure that you wipe the data beforehand. Bare in mind this will remove all personal data from your phone such as apps, contacts etc. However, this should be synced with your Google account and will re-download to your new ROM.

It would be good for another forum member to confirm this before you do anything - I don't have a Nexus S yet (getting it tomorrow ;)) but I am a developer for other Android handsets.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdasd1122:
OK problem solved. After i unrooted somehow magically gingerbread 2.3.6 installed itself (or i did somehow i dont know) after the gingerbread installation i installed the clockwork mod recovery. I found the correct software (Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S) and installed it and the system is running silk smooth for now :)

Thank you everybody who helped me working this out really appriciate it :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyakan:
Downgrade no-root OTA

I have the same problem, how to downgrade from ICS to GINGERBREAD using only non rooted system and OTA update?

I have ICS 4.0.3 if I would like to downgrade Nexus S to 2.3.6 how to i can without root ?

The message is the same

...

assert failed: !less_than_int(1316544229. getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

...

I think that is impossible (without rooting the phone) because probably this assertion

1316544229 < getprop("ro.build.date.utc")

is every time false with condition !(date build of gingerbrade < date build of ICS)

[General Topics] dnguyen1988:
Never tried the international vers with the exynos processor but the tmobile version is definitely a beast and the data speeds are ridiculous. I would suggest getting the tmo version. Also you would probably be able to get the tmo version cheaper.
[General Topics] AllGamer:
if you are going to use it in Tmobile, you will need the Hercules version

the international version will not get you 3G in Tmo
[General Topics] dnguyen1988:
I was a little confused about that, are there not any international carriers that use tmobile bands?
[General Topics] Shortbus-Driver:
T-Mobile told me that the 3-4g data was compatible and that everything would work fine so long as it is unlocked.
[General Topics] OuncE718:
Nope, T-Mobile and the Telus version are the only ones that support T-Mobile's 42mbps. The only good I have heard about the International version is that it has a better processor than ours and that the software is free of lag. Our phone has a slight lag, but nothing major. Its hard to explain because our phone feels so fast, but every once in a while you'll get an occasional stutter. That minor issue seems like its just software based so it should be/can be fixed.
[General Topics] dnguyen1988:
What about our 3g bands?

The exynos processor is a beast. My lady has the att gs2 and its pretty snappy but there's not much noticeable difference. I'm super happy with my gs2 and the snapdragon s3 is no slouch.
[General Topics] daddymatt:
3G and 4G will not work. I just sold my white i9100 because I use T-Mobile. If you've never had the i9100 you'll be fine but if you ever hold them side by side, you'll be sorry you did. The exynos runs circles around ours in real world use. But really, if you're T-Mobile and have never had the i9100 you'll love it.
[General Topics] Lt.Tealc:
Dont believe them i did some researched and it,s not compatible i love the look of the international and the exnos processor but with no 3G/4G coverage there is no point of getting it:D
[General Topics] Shortbus-Driver:
I kinda figured that,and is one of the reasons I made this post.....I am curious as to how many different customer service agents I could ask that, and how many different answers I'd get
[General Topics] M49MuM.357:
I strongly suggest the international version. Sure the T-Mo version has a bigger screen and higher data speeds, but the screen also has a lot of issues (manufacturer's fault, there are dark blobs and lines all over the place in gray and black areas), and the data speeds are not going to make much of a difference, trust me, especially if you're in an area with really good service. Plus the Exynos blows Snapdragon out of the water with overall performance, as well as benchmark scores. Plus if anything, it will be much easier to sell.
[General Topics] Killbynature:
Only touchwiz rom is free of lag since its hardware acceleration gingerbread roms are not hardware accelerated. It's hard to make a single core lag with a proper kernel and software enhancements on gingerbread. Once we get ics it lag will be virtually invisible on all devices.

Read this:

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/12/unlo...ing-on-t-mobiles-3g-network-its-true-sort-of/

It looks like T-Mobile are adding support for more frequencies. Does this mean we can maybe use the international model to pick up 3G now?
[General Topics] minhajmsd:
Its available in very few areas
[General Topics] Watcher64:
It comes down to hardware , the Exynos cannot get TMO 4g speeds it is not capable, but it is a "faster" CPU, so if you want 4g speeds now or in the future the Exynos in the international is not going to work regardless of the frequency.

This is the reason that the TMO version has the Snapdragon.
[General Topics] quest4fire:
Get Galaxy Nexus from Verizon instead. I love my TMO SG2 but ICS is so siccckkk on the Nexus and Verizon LTE is no slouch.
[General Topics] scribbles92:
I would (very heavily) lean towards getting the Pentaband GSM version Galaxy Nexus. It's a world phone AND it can be used on T-Mo's network. Why limit yourself to Verizon?? :rolleyes:

Good point but you can get the GN on contract with Verizon for $299 but you cant with TMO or AT&T right now. You have to pay full price.
[General Topics] jaekidd1012:
The T-Mobile GSII if you'll be using T-Mobile. I like the shape of the I9100, too, but no 3G/"4G" is the ultimate dealbreaker especially on a $600+ phone. There is also the GSM Galaxy Nexus which has T-Mobile 3G AND the slightly higher resale value. I wish more OEMs would build phones supporting AWS bands. HTC does this with most of their newer phones. Samsung does so but only at the behest of Google, it seems. Motorola and Sony-Ericsson should follow suit. Didn't mean to go off topic but that's just my $.02...

[General Topics] jRi0T68:

Processor? Yeah, Int'l is a little better.

Data? We've guy them beat.
[General Topics] barondebxl:
Well this is a question for yours truly, I had the T-mobile Galaxy SII and now I own the international version, the I9100. I switched from T-mobile to AT&T because T-mobile flexpay was discontinued and i didn't want to sign a contract. Anyway Now I'm gonna be a 100% honest and I don't care about benchmarks and all that craps those things are just for fun but they don't mean sh*t to me.

Let's start with the T-mobile Galaxy SII, it's an AWESOME phone in my opinion, it's best features are its design and it's screen size. The 4.52inch screen to me is so perfect, i like the shiny edges of the phone and overall I just love the design even if it's a little "heavier" than the other Galaxy SII. It's fast, the Internet speeds are ridiculously fast. The downsides of that phone is the vertical lines, trust me it is an issue that I don't have with the international version. Just open Netflix and look at the red screen, there's a bunch of vertical lines I don't know what is that issue. Also even though the phone is fast, it can be stuttery at times when you swipe between homescreens and stuff( comparing stock vs stock) also when you scroll in the browser it stutters a little sometimes but not a huge deal. It also won't have fast updates like the international version due to the carriers.

Now the international version (I9100), everyone knows its a fast phone, I don't think it's that much faster than the T-mobile version honestly, it's just that it's smoother, no lag whatsoever. The browser is UNBeLIEVabLY smooth, it's like it's dripping with olive oil it's crazy. Gaming is excellent, the Mali 400mp GPU is second to none in the mobile area ( you can tell when you use smartbench) it's very thin, very light and the battery life last longer even though it's battery is smaller than the T-mobile version. The downside is that it can get pretty hot at times when you do a lotta things with the phone, also the sound volume on the headphones is not as loud as the T-mobile version ( speaker is fine) screen size is smaller but that's a matter of opinion.

Bottom line, they are both EXCELLENT phones, EXCELLENT! If you're on T-mobile under contract and don't want to leave, it's a winner, the best phone on their line up and the Internet speeds are awesome. But if you're with AT&T, I recommend buying the I9100 not the AT&T galaxy SII cause it's the same phone, but with the international version you'll be first to get ICE CREAM SANDWICH .

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

Also keep in mind if you're using T-mobile and considering the international version you'll be stuck on edge speed, you won't have 4g so if you're staying on T-mobile than get the T-mobile version.
[General Topics] Micronads:
The international version has sick ass development. Like 30 roms to choose from. But your are stuck with att slow data speed. I sold my I9100 to get this phone. Miss the roms because I have a flashing problem, like the data speeds.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwanbis:
I know is a supper newbie doubt, and i normally tend to look for information first, but I'm really in a hurry, as I leave tomorrow for work, and want to take my nook.

OK, so, I want to install CM71 in the nook, not on the SD card, and then have a 32GB SD card full of music and some movies.

So my questions are:

1) Is there any reason not to install on the nook, replacing stock rom?

2) If I do it, does the brand (sandisk), still matters?

Thanks, and sorry again.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
No reason not too unless you like stock. And no the brand does not matter if you are just using for storage.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landara:
The brand ALWAYS matters it just matters less if you are running CM7 from the EMMC. However you still use a lot of SD card files in day-to-day use and it is better to have a faster/better card. So get what you can afford but better is best! In the way that it matters from CM7 on an SD card, however, no. It doesn't matter that way. It won't slow your OS down.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwanbis:
Well, I would be using the SD only to store music and some movies.

I bought a 32GB class 4 for that.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterc1111:
Hi, got my Kindle Fire but after first boot connecting to my wifi network and downloaded and installed the update. After that Wifi doesn´t work anymore... (just sometimes for some seconds) Tried to reinstall the Update and so on, but nothing solved my wifi problem.

whatever... I rooted my kindle Fire and also want to install some apps..

but to install the market or another app I need a File Manager.

Can´t download one cause my wifi doesn´t work...

So is it possible to install an app (e.g. file manager) without wifi?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ivanemoore:
Yes, via adb. Grab the adb package that makes up the rooting process and then you can do adb install blah.apk
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterc1111:
You have a guide for a beginner? :)

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ivanemoore:
not really, but maybe this will work:

Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349652

Download adb.zip from that post.

Unzip it.

go into the directory.

run:

./adb-mac install blah.apk

If your on windows:

adb install blah.apk

You just need to make sure drop the .apk files you want to install into the same directory as adb. Makes it easier..otherwise you have to include the path to the .apk file:

./adb-mac install /var/tmp/blah.apk

Does that help?

I am trying to choose a rom right now, but there is 2 that i like for different reason, but i wanna try and compile them into one and use it with everything i like from both

this might be a bad question, and im not trying to steal anyones work, but i want to do something that is probably simple. I will name them #1 and #2 so that i people dont think i am butchering their work. On #1, i like everything except for the internal themeing(dialer theme, settings menu theme, drop ddown menu theme, and stuff like that) so i want to take those things out of #2 and then make it flashable in some way, however i haven't got a clue how to do that. i dont know the process, but i will say they are both on infuse which makes it easier im sure.

not really ste4aling unless you post it up for download without consent.

sounds mostly like you want to re theme a rom, the .png files can be moved in and out of .akp files with an archive manager type program. anything athat handles compressed files. but if there are framework and other app mods to accomplish things like pics where ther ewere just commands that named colors and such would need a lot of work and knowledge of java. it is difficult to know if it is easy or not if you dont name the roms. also what is rom 2 missing that you like from rom 1?

one thing which seems to confirm that it is software - hold volume down, dont let go, and then hold volume up at the same time. the volume goes up instead of having a battle....anyone concur?
