[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
I seriously doubt you killed your Nexus S. Temporarily disabled is more like it.

From off position, hold down Power + VOL-UP. You should be greeted with a screen with a green android and 4 options. If you can get there, that's the bootloader, and unless you manage to kill it (which is VERY hard to do), you can reflash everything from there via usb and adb.

What model Nexus S do you have? That's important for helping you to flash it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Yes, I can enter this menu - there already. My model is an i9023GSM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
OK, then you DONT have a dead phone. You just need to reflash it correctly.

I'm sorry I can't be helpful for longer, because I am at work,but follow this guide and make sure you follow every detail (take note of step 6 in particular).

I know it's a long guide, but it's VERY detailed, and should get you up and running.

On a side note, for ROM selection, are you looking for an Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM (android 4.0) (less stable) or the older Gingerbread ROMs (2.3.7)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
You gave me the good news so, thank you for that. Now, I should follow this guide and come back in case I have a problem.

As far as the rom, I wanted to flash an ICS since I cannot wait any longer for Google to release the official update. But right now, anything that can get my device up and running would be really good!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kijp15:
Edit: nvm. >_<
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Will this solve the problem I'm facing? If yes, then it's fine by me.

Ok, just saw the edit, no worries!:o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
OK, stuck already. On Part 2 what I understand is that I have to open the CMD and copy-paste the path to the "tools" folder? Because this is what I do, and after - since this is what I have understand - I type "fastboot oem unlock" and I get "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file."

What do I do wrong?

EDIT:

Tottaly stuck on Part 2. It seems that there is no fastboot.exe file inside "tools" folder. I don't think the problem is something else - I'm sure I give the right commands since I tryied for fun another folder I have with fastboot.exe inside and it worked - to be exact it just gave me a FAILED messsage since device is already unlocked. Plus, regarding Part 3, Step 1, the first file for download is missing so I used the second link and downloaded 5023-cyan file. Hope this was a right move to do.

EDIT 2:

Ok, here is the story so far: I followed the guide given step by step. The USB drivers has been installed correctly so the device can be connected to the PC.

In the "tools" folder there was no such fastboot.exe file so I manually added one that I've found on the newer guide given on the 1st post. The unlocking process is failing because the device is already unlocked.

I did manage to install after this, the 5023-cyan.img file since this is the only link working from Part 3, Step 1. This gone well too!

Now, I couldn't go on with Part 4, I mean, I could not install the .zip file as it describes so through recovery mode I installed the .zip file succesfully (confirmation message to Nexus S screen).

I reboot and still get the same Google logo on the middle and an unlocked padlock on the bottom.

I cannot understand what I do so wrong? Oh, I'm so disappointed..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
OK, people, head's up! I did manage to install the latest stable rom of cyanogenmod and the phone is up and running! It means that somehow everything went well! Now, how do I return back to OEM? Because I just need to make things as they where before..

..or should I give cyanogenmod a chance?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomwalker:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 or use ROM manager and select Stock ROM (you should then receive OTA upgrades to 2.3.6).

On the latter: You colud just back up different ROMs and switch between them using CW.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixtapes08:
If you are still facing problems. Try locking your bootloader again with this method. Then it will let you go back on stock. Use v3 it is stable solid and easy to use.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Can you give me a CM9 kangs link since as new here, I'm kinda lost?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Ok new problem this time! After I installed my 3rd rom (probably, a totall noob thing to do) which was the OEM one, I tryied to re-enter recovery mode to wipe all data and re-install the rom I want. But now I get this mark of the small green android with a big exclamation mark on top of his head. What is this new hell that found me?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kijp15:
Try re-flashing the recovery. Either threw rom manager or fastboot.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Worked just fine! Thank you!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Nice, glad to see you managed to get it working. Honestly, the hassle is kind of worth it, because you learn more about the process anyways.

That being said, give CyanogenMod a chance. There's also several other ROMs. Unless you need stock OS for warranty service, I'd recommend going with one of the many custom ROMs we have here.

There are several minimalistic AOSP-built ROMs that mimic the feel of the stock OS, but are optimized for speed, and still have some very nice tweaks that you may enjoy. Just take a look through the dev section, and you'll see we have tons of options.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
It did worth the hassle, that's for sure. Now I think it's so easy to unlock a Nexus plus I now have a little more knowledge regarding Android :D.

I will stick with CM 2.3.7 as it looks just fine. I don't care about warranty, I don't think I will ever need the official service for a software issue. Now I have to re-install my apps, re-sync my accounts and setup the phone the way I want it. It will take a little more time.

But I'm glad that I pulled this through - with your help of course! Guys, you rock!

I wish that I'll be as helpful as you at the near future.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Today's latest CM9/ICS kang is here

I'd also recommend getting a custom kernel.

For batt life, morfic's SEUV kernel.

For reg performance, perhaps Matrix's kernel

MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CLOCKWORKMOD PERMANENTLY INSTALLED BEFORE DOING THIS. It saves time if you mess up. Also, make sure you get the latest gapps HERE

Instructions:

1. Go to clockwork recovery

2. Select data/factory reset/wipe

3. Select clear cache as well

4. Adv Mounts and Storage > wipe /system (note, this wipes android off the phone. It's a good idea since youre going from ver 2.x to 4.x)

5. Choose "flash from zip" (or whatever it's called.....NOT flash from update.zip)

6. Flash the cm9 update file first, then flash the kernel of your choice, then flash the gapps file.

7. Back out of the menu and select reboot.

Take note though, that the new ICS OS has incompatibilities with certain apps while GPU rendering is turned on, etc. It'll prob reboot on you sometimes, etc. For the most part it's stable, but that's completely subjective.

If you do run ICS, make sure you turn on GPU rendering in Dev Options. It takes full advantage of the GPU for UI animations, etc. Sometimes there's a stray app here and there that doesnt play nice, and you'll notice if the window looks really tiny or funny. Turning it off will fix the problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatastamoutrasas:
Two questions:

The link you give me to download the ICS rom keeps loading for ever. So, I choosed this one instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356228

Right or wrong thing to do?

It it essential to install a custom kernel? I ask because I forgot to copy/paste the .zip file and due to lack of time, I procceded without it, installing the ROM and G-APPS.

If your following this guide, step 4 rooting, give it some time. I thought mine was froze at that step as well, but I waited and it booted up. Probably took about 2 minutes or so (though it felt like 20).

Edit: Ha, swm beat me to the punch :)

I found the LTE img here , I actually loaded odin and wiped data and it solved my bootloop, wasnt stuck on the animation it was stuck at the actual Google, then it would vibrate and reset Google just keep doing it. Apparently that old img works fine with 4.0.1 but 4.0.2 sends you in the loop

How to flash the stock image file for those of you having issues:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20344760&postcount=2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davehasninjas:
ok, when you unzip it, go to the image-mysid-itl41d.zip folder, and move system.img and boot.img to the same directory as fastboot.

Now once you have fastboot up in a terminal and your device is in fastboot mode the commands are:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Unless you're going the method from the noob thread, in which case thebfastboot commands should be (correct me if I'm wrong):

fastboot-windows.exe flash system system.img

fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.img

fastboot-windows.exe reboot

And that should have you booting back to stock.

I ran into this issue myself since I was on 4.0.2. Once I was back on 4.0.1 I used super boot straight from paul@modaco's thread and it worked fine. Upgraded back to 4.0.2 afterwards and still kept root.

Let me know if this helps.

I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that I just got like 2 weeks ago.

I have played videos using the VEVO app, Youtube app, youtube on the web, and watching Netflix.

All the videos I play seem to play choppy videos. My friend said it might be my bandwidth. I tried on my wifi, and also when connected to HSPA+. But when I do speedtests on T-Mobile's network, I get as high as 21Mbps down. Videos still choppy at times.

Is it the phones screen, or TouchWiz UI, or the T-Mobile ROM itself? I want the videos to play clear like on my old Nexus One, ipad 2, and like on my PC.

If I flash a nightly over my current cm7 do I have to do a full wipe or can I just flash over after cache and davlik wipe and will I lose data??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phazepiracy:
I think wipe all is not necessary for your case
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It's ALWAYS a good idea to do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) when flashing. If you are flashing the same rom, you can get away with just cache and dalvik, but you are still running the risk of things not working. IMO, just do the full wipe. Backing up and restoring your apps with Titanium only takes about 5 minutes for each step. And putting your settings and honmescreens back in order only takes 10-15 minutes. It's not worth saving a half hour of time for the chance things wont work out because you didn't do a full wipe.

Pulled battery, allowed it all to cool down, water marks were clean, no bulging to the battery or burns to the device. I then put battery back in, and turned it on. Noticed battery went from the 38% it was at, down to 7%. Has this happened to anyone else or just me?
