ODIN option also wipes data

For those who didn't know (like myself), the ODIN option also wipes data :(

Whole reason I went this route was because it seemed by the description that this wouldn't wipe data, I could to a backup, then root fully and restore.

To be clear, there's a warning about the fastboot route wiping data, but not the odin so I mistakenly assumed that meant it wouldn't.:confused:

Still, thanks for the tools CF :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordNickerchen:
So after i flash this boot.img i will still be able to receive OTA-Updates.

But how to unroot? And will i loose Root after an OTA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
Apparently, ODIN forces an OEM unlock, which wipes your data, if you were not OEM unlocked before doing this.

Yet another reason to OEM unlock.

OEM unlock wiping data itself is a really really annoying "feature" though.

chainfire said:This means you don't need to flash a recovery with your kernel

sorry but i cant understand you?

did you mean if i want custom recovery the only way to have it is by following this thread after flashing your kernel?

thank you for every thing chainfire :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
That could work, yes.

Hey Chainfire,

First and foremost, I tip my hat to you for your continuing and amazing work!

I'm a big fan of this 'beginner's' rooted kernel as I like to root but keep as close to stock ROM as possible. I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM) with Android 4.0.3 on it and this kernel doesn't play nice. A humble request to get an updated version that's compatible with 4.0.3?

Thanks-

S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
Stock 4.0.3 doesn't exist yet, so that question doesn't even make any sense.

hey i am having an issue, I followed all the instructions. I even printed them out, and followed line by line. But now my device is in a boot loop. it shows the google in white with the unlocked lock at bottom. however it powers on, for a few seconds, shuts off, vibrates and powers back on. any help?

i am on 4.02 it updated yesterday right after I bought it.

I am trying a factory reset, to see if that will help.

If i have ICL53F, will it work with this bulid with any problems? boot loops etc?

and next question:

if i use 'fastboot boot boot.img' and then 'fastboot boot clockworkmod.img', this will give me ability to install roms via cwm? or i must use fastboot flash boot.img?

GSM or LTE

I take a look where you said and I realy didn't found an information for sure if my device is GSM or LTE.

The informations is:

Model: Galaxy nexus

Android Version: 4.0.2

Bbv: I9250****

Kernel: 3.0.8-gaaa2611android-build@apa28 #1

Version number: ICL53F

Anyone can tell me how can I know if is a GSM or LTE? I don't want a just reply, I realy wanna understand. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moody:
linux? kill adb and run as root. Windows, run as admin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thiagotomais:
No one take me a response, anyway, I discovery it by myself and I will try to teach who have the same doubt:

1) Access the Market, search by Android Assistant. Download and install it;

2) Open the App, click on TOOLS (up right side) and open System Info (line 4, middle);

3) Click on "Platform Info" and take a look on "Product".

If the value is "YAKJU" you will need the downloads for GSM;

Else if is "MYSID", the files for LTE.

Do it by your own concern and responsability.

the problem is that i cant seem to get rid of the root user any more ! I tried 20 times a official firmware, after wiping data and factory reset .. then the s2 root application also .. NOTHING HELPED ! :(

what is there left to do ? I dont understand how can it be is still there when i do a firmware install from that official firmware thread we have here , that is listing all the countries ! .. I have xwki8 .. Nordic ( Norway ) .. Please help me ! I am totally stucked :(

CF-Root for Jelly Bean JRO03C?

Hello,

Is there a chance that we see CF-Root for Jelly Bean JRO03C?

I miss Root to use StickMount and am looking for a "non-wipe" method. Using Odin looks like a pretty neat one (I used it a lot on my SGS).

Thanks for answer (and all the good job).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharky34:
If ChainFire does not release simple root kernel anymore for the Galaxy Nexus, what other method would you recommand?

I wish I can stay as standard as possible and do not wipe.

Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Use the Galaxy Nexus toolkit. It boots an insecure kernel (doesn't flash it) and then through ADB it sends over the root files and gives them the right permissions, then when you reboot your phone, you'll boot into your regular kernel and all that has changed is that root files have been added.

It works for Jellybean JRO03C.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharky34:
Gnex toolkit is definitively a good hint, thank you for your answer, but from the thread dedicated to [GNex TOOLKIT V7.4] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash, Mods + MUCH MORE [GSM] I understood that it needed to unlock the fastboot. And unlocking the fastboot means wiping every data of the phone.

Perhaps, I misunderstood; if it doesn't flash it may not need unlocked fastboot. Can you confirm, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharky34:
Ok. I did give a try to gnex but almost every function uses fastboot. It is virtually unusable with fast boot locked, though it looks a very good tool to go that way.

Well, it looks like I did an error reloading all my applications from my previous phone and restoring all my files on that f... sdcard that does not mount simply as UMS.

What is a good way to go, then? Fast and secure for my data. Any help appreciated.

I can't seem to find good setting I fins 3.0 has better sound quailty but the size of the files are huge compaired to sizes on 3.5 drives me mental I have my hole Rom set up the way I like but just can't find that good video sound quailty

[HTC Sensation] malybru:

Have you tried switching off stereo sound.

Sometimes this improves it.

Yh I've done all that the video sound on a sense 3.0 n stock kernal and stero sound turned of is loads better than 3.5 but the files size of a video on 3.0 even on low are huge

I took a 3 min video on low quailty and it was just over 100mb

I took a 3 min video on 3.5 also low quailty and it was only 20/30 mb

It's shocking and I don't know of a 3.0 Rom with lower video formats so its a catch 21

I send a fear few video clips on what's app and what's apps only allows 12 videos size so around 1.45 / 2 mins ok 3.5 roms

And about 10/12 secs on 3.0 lol

Edit I've also found is if u use ur head set the video sound quailty is loads better but that really is a work around and no one want to be taking video with there head set plugged in

I have been experimenting and hopefully, this will help others. I have an app called Blade Buddy. I went into the settings and checked the setting for camera - sound.

I have recently updated my R800i to version 4.0.2.A.0.42 and I was disappointed to see the CRT screen lock animation replaced by a boring fade animation.

So, I ventured on a quest to get it back without downgrading if that's possible. The animation is probably in framework-res.apk, but I don't know anything more than that.

There is an animation, but the wrong one. config_animateScreenLights is false.

Another possible solution might be to upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.58, because they might have put the animation back since while googling for a solution I only saw more people whining and maybe SE noticed them.

Thanks in advance.

1. Place the superuser.zip file attached at the end of the post on your sd card.

2. Flash recovery in bootloader with "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img". I recommend CWM 5.0.2.3 found in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988686&highlight=recovery

3. Go to recovery, in "mounts and storage" select "mount system" and then flash su-install.zip (EDIT : Mounting system not necessary, the script does it automatically while flashing the zip, but just in case)

4. Fix Permissions and reboot system.

5. Use any root explorer (i recommend ROM Toolbox, free in market) and go to /etc and either rename "installrecovery.sh" to "installrecovery.sh.old" or just delete it (its not needed).

6. There it is - Rooted ICS with a recovery that sticks.

EDIT -- IF, by any chance, after following the above steps, you find that you're stuck without a recovery (android exclamation screen), just flash a recovery via fastboot and you'll be fine. This time the recovery WILL stick. I think its something to do with the su-install.zip. I dont know for sure because I found it off the internet, its not mine.

Also, I did the superuser market update and I DID NOT lose root. I have an I9020T. So others with the same can safely update, imo.

Thanks to ab.grafix for being a part of the team.

IMPORTANT -- The su-install.zip posted previously is NOT mine. I didnt know who made it but just found out. All credit to dzo binary and Chamb'. I just made a guide coz it worked for me and I thought it might help others too. :)

Tested on I9020T and I9023

[Nexus S General] ro_explorer:
For the guys using linux (like me :D) , just download the archive in the first post , retrieve from there 2 files: root.zip and recovery.img and use them with your current ADB setup.

HOW-TO:

Prerequisites: you have installed Android SDK, fastboot and you have set-up correctly the udev (ubuntu).

1. Place the above mentioned 2 files in the working directory

2. reboot in bootloader mode (vol-up + power)

3. connect USB cable

4. run "./fastboot-linux-i386 flash recovery recovery.img"

5. reboot bootloader

6. reboot recovery

7. mounts and storage -> usb mass storage

8. copy root.zip in the phone storage

9. go back -> install zip from sd card -> root.zip

DONE !

I just tested and is working fine.

If there are newbies out there trying to understand the nonsense I wrote, try following the rooting guide for Gingerbread and just use the 2 files I mentioned in this post instead of the ones in the archive for gingerbread.

Thanks for your effort.

But I'm curious about the flashable zip file.

What's the difference of the zip file between the orignal superuser ?

And did the recovery do some magic which CWM can't do?

After reading the script , I just see the zip is important ,maybe the recovery is doing some magic too.

I'll just flash the zip and see what happen.
[Nexus S General] sakisds:
In fact, you can use any recovery image you want, including the latest clockwork for example. I used TWRP to do this and it worked just fine. On linux, just flashed root.zip.

I've done it, thanks a lot. I've also replaced the recovery.img file with the last cmw and all went well.
