Use the Auto Root link in my signature.

Choose Option A to root the phone

Choose Option C to install EG30

Choose Option B to unroot the phone

You will then have stock recovery and be unrooted.

I think when he said he couldn't find it, it's that signatures don't show up in the XDA app. They do when you click on the persons picture to get profile but its just text, not a link.

Hi,

Just wanted to know whether you guys think that this battery is the real deal, if it is it would be the ideal solution to the short battery life.

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexnm:
There is a topic in this forum about batteries... Some people say it's really good, and battery last indeed longer. I'm concern about that, and I don't really trust non-official stuff. Our ace comes with a 1350 mah battery, 2430 is almost double capacity, way too much for such a small battery, IMO.

But I'd love to know if someone finds a better battery, I can't stand the crappy battery life we have now.

On the other hand, it costs 15 euros, so, if it's not as good as the original, you can still use it as a spare one, just in case.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jangrie:
Then u have to buy another device, cause the Ace is made for 1350mAh. Its a phone for beginner and therefor not really expensive. If u want a better battery u should buy an S1 or SII or just accept the fact that u have to recharge every day and enjoy ur phone ;)

I personally wouldnt buy any battery on ebay or whatever cause its all fake and cheap it can even damage ur phone..2430 mAh for that kind of battery? surely not possible and it doesnt even say its a lithium Ion Battery..so forget about it its just third party crap u wont have a lot of fun with.. think about why it only costs 12 pounds..

[HTC Rezound] David9723:
In my contacts list there are #BAL twice #DATA twice etc how do i remove them completely? I only want the contacts from my google contacts.

Also is there a way to stop the keypad from coming up whenever you click on phone? It will always pop up in the way so i can not see my contacts.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I know you can get rid of half of those by long pressing those that are on your phone (the picture of the face next to the contact, not the sim card), and then push delete contact. As far as getting rid of those that are on your SIM card, I'm not really sure. I just played around with it, but can't seem to get them to go away. I think I froze SIM Toolkit, but that might have something in there that you can use to delete those.

As far as your dialer coming up when you push phone, that's just going to happen because that is a shortcut to your dialer, not your contacts. You just have to push the people icon in your dialer to see all of your contacts. I use Go Launcher, so I have a shortcut to contacts already in my dock. You could always just set up a shortcut for people on your homescreen if you wanted, I guess. Hope this helps a little.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
idk how, buuuuuut i somehow hid those SIM contacts of #bal etc....i remember playing around all day with it when i got it, and somehow i got rid of them...but idk how lol
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
Go to your contacts and in the top bar where it says PEOPLE click it and it let you choose what contacts you want to display.

That's the way I hid all my sim, facebook, phone contacts and only Google's contacts are showing.

If you want to delete your sim card contacts do the same as I explained but enable only the sim card and then delete them all.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
My head is spinning...lol. All I have is the phone contacts from my last plain little ol' phone.

I used to only have one set of Verizon contacts after the initial transfer from my old phone. Then after I went to the store to fix g4 connection, after the rep downloaded LTE on/off app I have double set. Noticed one set was on Sim. Wonder why that happened, hope she wasn't poking around my contacts or something.

EDIT:

I took a peek at what Kratz was talking about and see I already deleted my dupe Verizon contacts that were on the sim. Pretty sure all I did was long click and select delete.
[HTC Rezound] drewcam888:
my cars voice recognition thinks I say #data. I need a way to delete the sim contacts. anyone find a way?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Supposed to work that way. As mentioned by others, if you just want contacts, use People, not Phone.

Also, when you use phone, you can click on the button on the bottom left side of the keypad to hide the keypad

and put it back by hitting the Keypad bar at the bottom to get it back.

Personally, I don't store anything on the SIM card. So not an issue there for me.

[Nexus S General] Jabaculemos:
I don't think it's necessary to wipe the SD card, I followed the procedure in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396913 and although it said my SD card would be wiped, everything was still there after I was done!

[Nexus S General] agambatra:
Link fixed, sorry for that, SD wiping might not be necessary, but I suggest as it makes it cleaner. Might work for I9023 and M200, I have no clue, maybe some experienced developer can answer that better.
[Nexus S General] fromthestars:
Not to crap on a great tutorial, This is exactly what I would be looking for if I were not already set up and running. Last night was a dizzying whirlwind of flashing, high heart rates and finally becoming familiar with fastboot and flashing things like that.....lol

But in the end I simply found a cwm flashable zip without radio or bootloader and installed through cwm like any other rom. As far as root all I did was flash a zip file found on the forums and I was good to go.

Stuck at step 13: "Failed to verify whole-file signature. Signature verification failed"

On Koodo/Telus Nexus S i9020A

Edit #1 Took OP's advice on post #24. When I use the correct 2.3.6 update, I get past the above error message. Just a note: if you flash an alternate radio before updating to 4.0.3, you get a Radio Error.

Edit #2 Followed OP's instructions, except without wiping SD card. ICS boot animation is blazing fast! But I'm on an infinite bootloop. More to come
[Nexus S General] fromthestars:
ya, im a bit of a stoner and was on a flashing frenzie last night.

but I swear I saw a user post a file "Nexus-S_ICS_root_unsigned" which was the OTA without bootloader or radio files, and I flashed it in cwm.

I remember doing a procedure basically similar to yours before finding it, but ending up with a device that wouldnt boot past the google screens.

sorry for being so unhelpful and likely wrong!
[Nexus S General] atiroch:
cool

tried your method and it worked. few comments though:

- I didn't format sdcard, too much stuff on it to copy back and forth

- regular recovery didn't work in 2.3.6. so I flashed CWM and that did the trick (I kept getting the triangle with exclamation mark)

- flashing CWM in Rom Manager once ICS is set up works, so no need for adb

Thanks for posting all the necessary steps, tried to just flash from CM 7.1.0.1 yesterday and it wouldn't.
[Nexus S General] agambatra:
Both of these seem to be errors that come when the 2.3.6 rom is not of I9020T , make sure you download the one linked in this thread.
[Nexus S General] agambatra:
Nah, don't worry about it, those files are around too (found out now) , have their own quirks and bugs though.
[Nexus S General] :
Roger that! Will give a try.
[Nexus S General] agambatra:
Yup the triangle thing needs to be timed well to get it, but yeah you can do it like that as well. I have written that CWM can be flashed through Rom Manager, but not everyone would have installed it while on 2.3.6.
[Nexus S General] abbysingh:
Really good detailed guide. Just did a successful install thanks to this guide.

Nice work agambatra!
[Nexus S General] :
Followed instructions and was able to apply ICS update, but I'm on infinite bootloop. The loop is on the ICS boot animation. Very blazing fast and smooth though. i9020A Koodo/Telus

I9020A Google Wallet

Anyone know if Google Wallet works on I9020A using this update to 4.0.3?
[Nexus S General] Naa Laa:
Thanks for the excellent guide!

I would just add two things from my experience with update to ICS from MIUI 2.3.7.

1) Please add the step to actually use the OTA Root Keeper app before flashing ICS - I didnt, just downloaded the app from the market after flashing 2.3.6

2) After the ICS update it didn't flash the radio image nor kept the old one - maybe I was on a different radio before and not the default one in 2.3.6. I had to manually flash the radio for my phone to catch T-mobile network. I use the image from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396532

Thanks again!

ok been flashing a while and now my phone is not booting at all after step 13. Got the rom installed and when I chose reboot I am looking at a completely black screen. Pulled the battery a few times and still nothing. Can't even get it to boot into bootloader. Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] agambatra:
Seems like you did something wrong, try wiping.
[Nexus S General] abbysingh:
This guide is confirmed working on i9020T. If you get stuck somewhere, make sure you didn't miss a step or anything, and make sure you wipe all the correct stuff - data,cache,system and I would suggest do a Dalvik Cache wipe too.

Hope this helps!

im using a telus nexus s I9020A i followed the guide and was stuck in a boot loop like buddy over there so then i flashed using this OTA update

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/ZD3PyN0t.zip

then flashed using the same radio thats in this post

http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&d=1313224429

then used the script in one of post to get root back

works perfect now just battery is a issue but it seems im not the only one hope that helps some telus peeps :P

Hey guys,

Ive somehow stuffed up my update on a i9020a device, flashed the 19020t ICS firmware onto it, now I dont have root access on my phone despite bootloader being unlocked.

Can i just go about rooting my phone similar to how it was done on GB, or is there another way?

Help is appreciated!
[Nexus S General] vavix:
^Didn't you use the rootkeeper as the instructions say? There is a guide online on rooting the ICS already. I tried the one on dottech.org in google search results and it worked.

Installed on my I9020A and like some probably mentioned already, had to use CWM recovery to install radio instead of stock recovery (I was getting verification failed error). Don't skip that step or you won't get any signal!
[Nexus S General] elpolaco:
Nooby view

Thanks a lot, this was my solution.

NOTES:

Before this tutorial I had to "unlock" the bootloader. See this thread.

Then if you think your Nexus S was bricked (you press the power botton and don't do anything, but when you plug it to the USB port you see the device on the PC) read this thread.

I originally did that so i9020a users could flash it without the radio/bootloader flashing but it is rooted (busybox) with custom boot animation support and is deodexed.

Edit: Updated Superuser + SU & added HSDPA SystemUI from AndroidUser00110001 (on top of being odexed & Galaxy Nexus sounds added in place of GB sounds in previous release).

I want to install overcome rom where can i find the details on how to install and which version should I use could you suggest any details
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafaeker19:
If you want root you can use a custom kernel that includes root.

http://www.multiupload.com/PC21LDJXIK

Enter in download mode (volume down + power button when the tab if off)

Flash it using odin v1.7, the tar file goes on PDA.

Repartition unchecked, no pit file.

After this the tab will take several minutes to boot, don't worry this is a normal procedure.

After this you will have a EXT4 file system and rootes tab.

If you want the lastest overcome rom:

Warning: this will wipe your data, make a backup of your data and apps with titanium backup.

After you flash the kernel.

http://www.multiupload.com/9F0Z0JU3HJ

Download the file above, copy it to the internal sd of the tab

Then go to the recovery mode (volume up + power button when the tab is off)

Go to Installation menu the select flash zip from internal sd card, and select the zip that you downloaded. Wait until the installation is complete.

The reboot menu > reboot to system.

You don't have to flash to root, but you can if you want too. If you flash a rom like overcomes it will automatically come rooted. But you can, if you want to just stay on stock Android, flash a cf-root kernel with Odin, or use super one click wish is nice and easy :) .

Rooting assistance

Dear all,

Please help me, I've been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab but been unable so far, here are my device details:

Model: GT-P1000L

Firmware: 2.3.6

Baseband version: P1000LUMJI1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Compilation: GINGERBREAD.UMJR2

I've tried so far with the follosing:

Super One Click runs until step 7, it gets frozen and won't respond even after 25 minutes, retried this process more than 10 times.

DooMLorD runs but on every step it states that the route was not foud, retried this process around 5 times.

z4root runs and wether I select temporary or permanent root it will just start processing and suddenly app will close itself, retried this process around 5 times.

I have read a lot of threads about using ODIN to flash custom firmware, but I've also found a lot of replies where process was unsuccesfull and tab wouldn't turn back on. Because of this I'm reluctant to try it, at least for the moment, since I'm so noob I will have a real hard time flashing back to stock firmware.

Thank you all in advanced for the time you will take reading even if you don't have the answer.

Best regards.
