I'm not familiar with fastboot at all but have you tried adb kill-server and then adb devices?

I had an issue before with finding a device and it fixed it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
ADB is handled by the daemon adbd which starts during boot and is an Android/linux binary. The bootloader most certainly isn't something that high-level though so it makes no sense to try to interface with it using ADB in that mode. :)

Recovery is a very slimmed down Android though so it would work if it's enabled in stock recovery.

I just tryed to flash the system image using fastboot flash system gnsys.img from *THIS* thread and got the following:

sending 'system' (669696 KB)... FAILED (remote: Exceed Buffer Size (0x16400000))

Kinda getting lost here. Any experts around? :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Doesnt do anything I have tryed going through the recovery selection in the fastboot screen. Also that page is inacurate as you need to hold Volume Up + Volume Down while powering up. Volume Up + Power just boots up as normal..

My only bet before taking it back is via fastboot which works fine. I still have the bootloader unlocked but that system image wouldnt flash :(.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Well theoretically you can try to use fastboot and

fastboot flash system system.img

All you need to do is to make system.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ydaraishy:
The system image is probably not a sparse image -- that is, the image exceeds the RAM size for fastboot. Same issue with the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
How do I make a system image from the system dump *HERE*?

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes thats exactly what I read about in the Nexus S thread when I was researching this. Is there any way to make it smaller so its flashable?

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Post here your framework-res.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Here you go :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
In the meantime - have you tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193915

It has "Flash multiple files in one click by using custom folders and tags."

Worth to give a shot. Let me know if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Ok I think I know how to solve your problem :) What is your stock ROM? ITL41D?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes its the retail build which is ITL41D :)

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
So here is what I have done:

I included framework-res.apk in ramdisk inside boot.img. This way it should fix your problem but now keep in mind that you can't replace framework-res.apk because it will be reloaded from ramdisk on every boot. So if your device will boot with boot.img from me then adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework and reboot in fastboot and fastboot flash boot boot.img BUT stock boot.img this time so it wont replace your framework-res.apk. So:

1. Modified ITL41D boot.img - flash in fastboot using fastboot flash boot boot_mod.img

2. If system boots (I'm not sure if will) then adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

3. Boot in fastboot and flash Stock ITL41D boot.img - flash in fastboot using fastboot flash boot boot_stock.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
WOW. nice if it works!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Doesnt work im afraid..

I get the following information in the command screen:

fastboot flash boot boot_mod.img (my input)

> writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)

On the phone is displays:

rename it to boot.img and try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorado_al:
I'm out of contract and am interested in the Sprint SGS2 aka Epic Touch 4G to replace my EVO. $200 from Sprint. Saw today that Amazon is selling it for $.01 to new subscribers. Attempting to renew through Amazon gives me a price of $130, but still would have to get a new plan.

I'm not interested in doing anything illegal, so the question is: If I want the SGS2 on Sprint with my current plan (includes 15% discount and 300 extra minutes) am I stuck paying $200 for it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
I think this would work.

Add the new line and get the E4GT for $.01

Get the cheapest prepaid phone you can find.

Activate the prepaid phone and port your original Sprint number to it. This will cancel service on that line from Sprint.

Once your number is ported to the prepaid phone, call up Sprint and port it to your new phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorado_al:
That would get me the phone for $.01 but I would have a new plan from Sprint then. It might still be worth it, but I usually use about 700 plan minutes each month, so my savings on the phone would evaporate pretty quickly if I had to go to the next higher plan. The more I think about it, the more I think I will have to pay $200 to keep my existing plan and get the new phone. Still, in the long run that would save me money compared to a new plan that doesn't include 300 extra minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
Well, Sprint will buy back your EVO for $90 so you can upgrade for $110. That's what I did.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorado_al:
Did not know that. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
No problem. Just checked and yes, the buyback is still $90.

https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer/app/ViewEditableModelsPage/

Although, I'm sure you could sell if for more if you wanted to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorado_al:
I don;t think I could sell it for more. I think the charging system is messed up. My batteries charge super slowly. Only 50% charge overnight. I thought it was a bad battery, so I purchased a new one. Still not good. I bought an external battery charger and have been charging them that way instead. I tried using different kernals to see if that was the problem but it has not fixed it. I think the charging port may be partially broken.

$90 from Sprint sounds like the best deal that I'm likely to get.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
That's what happened to mine too. Mine would say it was charging but the battery would still go down. Woke up a couple mornings to a dead battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colorado_al:
Maybe I can get more for my Evo! I tried all sorts of things to get this charging problem fixed. New battery, reset to stock OS, different kernels, different charging adapter. No luck. Today I want to try charging it again but could not find my micro usb cable. Pulled another one out and tried it with the same charging adapter and charged up as fast as it used to! I guess there were a lot of variables sand that was one I had not tried. Looks like no big rush to replace the EVO now either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thr970:
If you have insurance they will fix or replacement your same day at Sprint store. My wife had hers replaced in store also they do not sell the Evo anymore so you may get a better phone as replacement. Was in the store and they offered a SGSII to replace a broken power button on Evo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vibey101:
I went in to best but today and picked up one if the best buy mobile magazines. I saw a picture of the Galaxy Nexus saying it was coming to Verizon but it was called the Nexus Prime in the magazine. It was priced $299 on contract and $799 without
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That $799 off contract is just... wrong. And the Nexus Prime thing is an obvious placeholder. Why not take the magazine and give a pic to us?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
LMAO @ the $799. that's why i don't do business with verizon. the big red are crooks and a half. and then some. and what's sad is people are being robbed willingly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
$799?! Ouch! I was going to wait until Best Buy or other US vendors get the GSM/HSPA+ version. But I may as well get one for $700 at Handtec right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klarson:
I believe the $799 pricing is unsubsidized. It also says the rezound is $799 off contract which we know from vzw it is $649.99.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumaaneface:
I picked one up and didn't see this o.O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vibey101:
I attached pics

Edit: ^ beat me to it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DammitCubs:
The 799 is the best buy price. It's always been that high for a non-contracted phone. To give you an example: Sprint has the EPIC 4G TOUCH S2 for $499 while best buy charges $699. But their subsidized pricing matches all carriers. and they even price match against all carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
$799.

wtf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumaaneface:
Interesting. As long as it comes out before January 25th

i already call my gsm nexus the prime too..lol and i dont even have it yet

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
If its not out by then I won't be getting one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
Part of the reason Best buy has it priced like that is they don't want people buying it out right. If you are dumb enough then fine you can but you will over pay. They are more interested in the recurring revenue stream they get from the carrier for selling it to you than the phone profits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eallan:
This guy is right. Best buy always does this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bigsam411:
So like other said this is normal for Best Buy, however if they do ever carry the unlocked version they will probably price it competitively with other places. Case in point the Nexus S which was sold unlocked and exclusive to BB. You could get the for around 600 when it came out.

I expect Verizon to be much cheaper if bought outright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumaaneface:
This is not a gsm device and the situation is different. 799 is what they charge currently for off contract for the htc rezound. It's also MSRP. Just a suggested retail price point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
The MSRP for the HTC Rezound is $649, and it's also what Verizon charges for off-contract. I'd expect the MSRP for the Galaxy Nexus LTE 32GB to be the same.

Best Buy is just overcharging for the off-contract price as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
I hate to say I told y'all so. I didn't think it'd be below $600 unlocked, however, I also didn't think it'd be $800. I predicted the most it'd be unlocked would be $749. Ridiculous.

Will this be an indication of the price of the GSM unlocked when the Veriz' exclusivity is over? ... I don't know. But as I've said before, I can't imagine it being $529 as the Nexus S was. The lower the better, of course. EDIT: *If* the GSM version ever gets sold officially unlocked here in the US at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
The gsm version will be cheaper. Verizon is just a greedy crook.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I hear Verizon told ATT that TMobile should put on some weight. At the same time time Simple Mobile was making out with Verizon behind the portables off campus.BUT it turns out it was actually MetroPCS and not Simple Mobile!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
Does it rescan everything upon startup? Does it rescan photos when you take a picture? How do you put music on the phone if you can't drag-and-drop MP3s?

When you click the share button, does it still give you a list of 90 apps that are open?

If you have SIM Contacts hidden, when you SMS someone, does it show the SIM Contact and the Google Contact? When you send a SMS to more than one person, does it still make a group SMS, or does it text each individual person and update their message threads?

On Google Contacts, currently, my Contact Photos can only be as big as thumbnails. If ICS uses high-res, big Contact Photos, how does that work? Does Google Contacts have updated Contact Photos for you? Did it make you get rid of your old Contact Photos?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
Wow a lot of questions I see there.

I can answer a few for you.

1. It does rescan everything on startup. Also checks for updates.

2. It updates you photos like if you take one it goes straight to gallery but doesn't do a full scan again. As far as I'm aware.

3. Unless I'm missing something you can drag and drop music, photos, and media into folders that you select.

You have to select the option in settings to camera (ptp)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xile6:
How much it cost u? And is it worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
Less worried about this one now, since it's a Galaxy Nexus-specific issue. But thank you for your answers!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NatTheCat:
Upgraded from IPhone 3gs. On 24 month contract. Then since then I've had 4 Android phones and never looked back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
Anyone else care to take a shot at the remaining questions? Does anyone keep their contacts on their SIM Card anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Hopefully not. The SIM storage is very basic and I wouldn't recommend it as anything but an extra backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
I keep my contacts on my SIM as an extra backup, but that doesn't stop Android from putting them in my message contacts regardless of their display settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I wouldn't recommend relying on storing SIM contacts.

Why not just use the Google contacts for your phone (and general backup) and then also export them as a csv file (from google contacts) and store on your computer/dropbox/flash drive? You can have good backup without duplicate contacts on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
I also have few questions as I`m looking to switch from iPhon 4 to Galaxy Nexus after volume bug is solved.

1) Can ICS push emails directly on the screen so I don`t even have to unlock the phone? Liks in iOS5 - I don`t need to pick up the phone or unlock screen, I can see first few lines of the email.

2) Can you set custom ringtone for incoming emails?

3) Is it possible to change how fast LED blinks and what colour for sms & emails?

4) I`m using TomTom, but Android doesn`t have TomTom. Is there turn-by-turn SatNav for Android?

Thanks :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
The high-res contact photos is still NO go if you are syncing with Google Contacts (GMAIL contacts) only.

If you do it this way, you will receive low res 96x96 pixels contact photos.

I know, this is ****. It's been ages we have requested this to be fixed.

But, apparently, Google won't listen.

NOTE: I read that if you synced with Google+, you will receive high-res photo from Google+. But, not all my contacts are in Google+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Mmm no. You can access the notifications area from the lockscreen so that you can see who its from and click into the gmail app, but it doesn't show the first lines.

You can set a specific ringtone for each e-mail account.

There are certain apps that let you customize the use of the LED.

YES. GOOGLE MAPS!!!! Its included and knocks the socks off of everything out there. (and yes it does turn by turn voice navigation).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
:(:(:( When I drive and my iPhone is in windscreen holder, its very safe as I don`t have to take my hands off steering wheel to check who is this email from and what about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
I thought ICS was them listening! So the contact has to be stored on the phone to get high-res photos? So that means I'd have the whole SIM card contact/Google Contact/Phone Contact deal all over again? It's like they don't know how to design a phone OS sometimes...

And what's unreliable about SIM Contacts? I trust Google Contacts completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The problem with SIM contacts is that the SIM is very specific in what it can store. A UMTS sim can store 2 numbers per person and type (I dumped my SIM with a usb sim-reader). The is no way to store a picture and all the other things Google allows you to store and sync. Sure, they could keep different databases just for the stuff the SIM doesn't support but that would just result in more problems in general and you would have a hard limit on the number of contacts set to 250.

Summary: SIM contacts are too limited to be useful today. It's only decent as a backup in my opinion.

Why are you so against having your contacts on Google contacts or just as a vcard locally? To me, Google contacts is really great as I can change my contacts from anywhere and I always have them backed up. It also makes it extremely easy to setup a new Android phone and allows me to export them to a number of formats if I need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thehyecircus:
1. It'd be a hassle to delete all the numbers off my SIM. It also should be unnecessary. There's no reason why Android should be looking at my SIM after I told it not to.

2. I am not against having my contacts on Google Contacts. I have them on Google Contacts. I used to have them on Google Contacts AND my phone, but all that did is have Android list each contact three times. A nightmare!! All I am saying is, don't look at my SIM card if I say not to, or be smart enough to not list duplicates because THE CONTACTS ARE MERGED.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Hello everybody,

I'm pretty sure my SGS2 just died. I didn't drop it or anything, just left in plug on my computer for a while. Since 2 weeks, it started to act weird when it was plugged to this laptop and the laptop was plugged too ( the touchscreen was going crazy when I tried to use it ). After 2 hours not looking at it, I tried to turn the screen on and it just wouldn't, but the two buttons were lighting up still. So I took of the battery to reboot it. Then I looked closer to the screen and I saw it was all cracked, but from the inside. Exactly like if I dropped it ( which I didn't recently ), but literally inside of the screen. Here is a picture I tried to take ( sorry for the quality ) :

It doesn't feel like cracked at all when I scratch it with my nails, and the screen remains black no matter what I do

So I don't really know what to do (and what happened...). My phone was running a custom ROM ( CheckRom HD ), and I still have access to the shell as a root. Should I do something before sending it to warranty ?

Second pretty big problem is that I'm an Android developer, in the middle of a pretty busy developing week so I would need to change it as fast as possible. I'm living in France, and I bought it online on some french website, would you guys know if there's some kind of samsung shops where I can change it ?

Thanks for your advices, I'm gonna go cry now :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I just wonder if it overheated, using it during charge. ? ? Hope someone can help you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Yes, it always had overheated, since day 1 (so a bit before I started flashing roms on it). Not especially when charging, but when playing sometime the device was literally burning ( I read a lot about that, some people say really warm only, but this one was literally burning my ear when at maximum temperature ). Didn't play game or anything these past 2 days tho, so I don't think it overheated because of that recently

For information, I've been flashing ROMs for a bit more than 2 years now, never had any problem, I'm 99% sure this is only hardware related for those who are scared.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I don't know what games you're playing, but if you're burning your ear, I think you're playing them wrong :p.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Haha, from what I remember it was occurring playing dungeon defenders and getting a call in the middle :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhhans1:
the problem is that you have a custom rom in it, and that for sure void your guarantee, even the fault is hardware related to the screen, and not to the device itself. Did you try to call and see how it react the phone? It ring?

Maybe there is a solution, even without screen, to put it in download mode, flash a stock rom with odin, and send it back to warranty.

I read about a user wich have a SGS2 with a creen wich cripple it by himself, without even touched...so your best chance is to your warranty. (I think you need a special warranty to can send it to any samsung store, not just to one or carrier from you bought the phone).

Finger crossed!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Hey, thanks for your answer. I contacted Samsung yesterday, there's apparently no Samsung store anywhere around here ( I guess France's capital is considered as a small village in the middle of nowhere ), they just told me to write a letter with pictures to their repair address ( not even the phone ) and they had no idea what was gonna happen next. I guess I'm gonna wait for their answer and eventually try to reset the flash count and restore stock rom from Odin :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhhans1:
but the site, from where you bought the phone, didn't give you some warranty papers? I bought a neverlocked SGS2 from an online store here in Bucharest, and they give me a warranty paper...and for sure if Paris is in the middle of nowhere, then Bucharest is the definition of nowhere..just kidding.

It's impossible that a site wich sell new SGS2, to not give you the warranty.

And the process to send pictures of phone is like, my car engine doesn't start, but the lights are on, and i will send pictures to the service...it not like even samsung care-service.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
You might be luckly and get it under warranty cos its obviously burnt-out from the inside so they probably wont have access to anything (bin counter)cos its all fried inside.Then again normally a warranty covers only certain things and when a power cut killed my mates phone that was plugged in during a storm here in Spain they told him it wasnt a warranty thing and he had to talk to the power company or use his house insurance as it wasnt a direct fault from the phone itself cos it was plugged in and not under use.All he said was that it died over night while charging,nothing about the storm.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irajh:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
The website actually do have a store that I went to, but the guy from the store from the store told me he won't do it for free since the screen is cracked [even if it was from the inside...], so he just took me for responsible and there were no way to negociate :/

I'm gonna see in the next few days what my options are and let you guys know ;)
