[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broknindarkagain:
I actually haven't tried anything yet. I won't have the phone for a few more days (ordered online).

Rooting isn't my only concern. I guess I worded my original post wrong. I would like the option of loading custom roms as well as rooted.

I also like the HTC programs (e-mail app, etc). As far as I know, I will need a Sense build to get all of that. This is the reason I would like to load a custom rom.

As far as SuperOneClick goes, I've tried to use it in the past on other phones. Its success is kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BRICK0044:
it will start if I disconnect and reconnect
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BRICK0044:
Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Sorry, I don't. Tethering works fine for me. Best of luck though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cheffz:
More Info

What software ver are u running?... What Rom?

If your using a cust rom try fixing permissions or reflashing rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] BRICK0044:
All is well, I had to turn off wireless on my laptop now works fine
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Ah, you were multihomed. That'll do it ;) Glad you figured it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
If you have any questions, concerns or problems, please post in the CDMA post because I will no longer be checking here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgrimberg1979:
For starters that file doesnt exist under the directory "system"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
By "that file" I'm assuming you are referring to "recovery-from-boot.p" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
I'm on stock 4.0.2

updated OP to reflect the OS version I'm talking about.

Accidental thanks btw
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jermaine151:
I had to do this same thing on stock to keep the stock recovery from restoring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Yeah it's a known bug, that's hopefully getting worked on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dc iz 2 legit:
Thank you for this! Now one question if I didn't do this and the stock recovery booted what would be the steps too get this recovery installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Then you would follow the steps in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xirix12:
What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?

Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?

Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Flashing through ROM Manager is just a simpler way to get CWM. And I'm not sure why you would have gotten the red triangle, unless you didn't rename/delete the file in system. And I haven't heard anyone say the couldn't do anything in recovery, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
When I try and change the file name it says insufficient permissions??

I have root...

Cwm doesn't stick though. I always have to boot reflash recovery and then boot into recovery through from manager..

Any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Your file manager doesn't have root privileges, so until you rename/delete the file you won't be able to reboot into CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
This. I was using astro but changed to root explorer and changed file name. Turned phone off and went into fast boot and then recovery and it worked.

To be clear, I was able to go into recovery before. I would have to open from manager, reflash cwm and boot into recovery.

I was just unable to power phone off and boot into recovery manually. Now I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Okay, so glad that you got it sorted out(:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reflekt2099:
this step by step process was incredibly easy. thank you!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Your welcome(:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xirix12:
Thanks for the reply. I did rename it the file to .bak following the script to the t! I don't know what happened either. Since then I deleted the file entirely this time and reflashed the cwm seems to work a little better than before an now I can do things in cwm recovery. Hope nothing else goes crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Yeah, that file can cause problems with CWM on LTE, although it's a quick fix, I'm sure it's being worked on for future editions. And since you've been able to flash things, when you use the volume keys to high light options, does it skip one or two every now and then? That's only problem I seem to be having.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steeeler:
Same here. You gotta go slow. I selected the wrong option many times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Okay, so it's not just me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iastonish:
Cool, worked like a charm. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
No problem, I'm here to help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xirix12:
Late reply but yes it skip a couple when I am using the volume keys to scroll. I am sure there is a fix coming it's very early! I have learned some more about adb and stuff with this phone and plan on using it more often!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Yeah, your right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
Thanks for figuring this out I did not know it was problem until I was wiping my bat stats and lost my recovery. Glad I found this out on a bat wipe and not trying to revcover from a bad flash. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Good luck, I just wiped my battery stats, and currently draining it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] largo79:
Hi. recovery flashed successfully but when i go to system folder with Root Explorer i dont see the file im supposed to rename. any ideas? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Can you still get CWR?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
Has anyone had terrible making a backup? My phone won't complete. I get an error and it never generates an md5 sum. I've tried countless times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Is your phone encrypted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
Nope. I've never had a problem with CWM before. On every other device I've had it's worked perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Revert to stock recovery then reflash CWR using the steps I've posted.

Restore Stock Recovery:

Unrar the attachment and place the recovery.img inside a folder.

Inside the folder, hold shift and right click, then chose Open command prompt from

​

the drop down menu

Connect your to your computer and boot into the bootloader (vol up and down then power button), and in the command prompt do

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BABABANG:
I'm on the stock rom but I can't find the file I have to delete in the /System folder. I know for a fact I am rooted, and I flashed CWM via Rom Manager already. I just can't see that file I need to delete for the recovery to stick.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Only thing I can think of to do is, check if you can reboot into CWR and if you can, you'll be fine, or either reflash CWR and check again or revert to stock, and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
I know on my Charge it always had troubles on the md5 sum but when I did a recovery it always worked fine. Have you tried just doing a restore from cwm? I am guessing it will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
Yep no dice...

Here's the error I get when doing the backup...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Not sure what to tell you :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhalsey205:
I have Rom Manager installed, but...

I unlocked and rooted via Superboot. I then installed Rom Manager and flashed Clockwork Mod(5.5.0.4) successfully. I also installed (at least initially) BusyBox via JRummy16's BusyBox Installer. When I went into Root Explorer/ system/ I failed to see the "recovery-from-boot.p" file. As a result, I am staying out of Rom Manager for the time.

I subsequently flashed Revolution HD 2.1.1, entering CW Recovery via holding down volume rocker + power. I have also flashed the "1% batter mod" and "Nova Launcher" without incident. Generally speaking, I have no complaints, but ...

I am looking for a solution beyond re-flashing the stock recovery via Fastboot. Any suggestions appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
If you can get into CWR, whats the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
I"m confused about what he's looking for as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhalsey205:
Just concerned that I cant flash from Rom Manager. When I try doing so, the device locks ups and I have to do a battery pull. Something is wrong. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Rom Manager without resolving the problem.

But your right, as long as i can get into CWM, i have not pressed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
I can understand your inconvenience, I'm sorry I don't have a fix:/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stukovx:
I recently bought the docking cradle for my Epic so I could use my phone as a bedside clock at night. Problem is that the 4 buttons (home/menu/back/search) lighting never turn off. Is there a way to make it turn off while leaving my deskclock on?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djinn23:
This was a known issue that got worked out somewhere.

I believe it is fixed in clean gb and some other roms.

I think the tineout matched that of the sceen ratther than the keyboard.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahmbo1:
It's not a problem with the ROM, but the Kernel.

If you're interested, check out the custom kernels out there. For example. I.A.P Samurai has found and fixed the problem with the capacitive buttons staying on.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
My first post is a legitimate question as to why use this specific channel (with the likely small amount of people to respond) while there is global #xda-devs channel (where a fair share of the people actually do have the Galaxy Nexus).

Furthermore, if you think answering a question with "guess" has any place here on XDA-Developers, you might want to reconsider being here.

Why would #GN be better than xda-devs?.. Let me illustrate.

topic for xda-devs: Note: This is #xda-devs, the operative word being DEV. not "I'm a spastic who can't even flash a ROM"

..

where as GN is for anything and everything... so if I am a user looking for help, the folks in xda-dev's are not helpful.. If i'm looking for specifically help on a g.n., once again, xda-devs, on the off chance I find someone who is a helpful person, the chances are they will not be helpful with a gn as the phone itself isnt their target audience.

And yes, I realize that this topic is old, but it still deserves love.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
You can join an existing hangout from your phone by clicking on the Join Hangout button in your stream (not messaging). You can't start a hangout. I don't know why.

So I flashed my rom using the GSM version here, everything seemed to work perfectly but I'm now stuck in an animation loop that just won't go away. I've tried to boot into recovery, but it won't even let me. I can only get into download mode, and no idea what I'd do from there. :S

Hope someone can help me soon..

edit 1: ah, hold both volume buttons down to get to recovery... used to the Nexus S where it's volume up... I should be able to fix this now. If not, I'll be back!

edit 2: recovered the backup I made earlier today. this can be closed.

THANKS, XDA! :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madmikethespoon:
I'm also stuck in the boot animation, after you booted into recovery, what did you do to fix it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] suprtrukr425:
My buddy just got an Inspire through a trade. The person he traded with said he was not the original owner. What I want to know is if there is any way to tell when the phone was manufactured, or what rom was on the phone when shipped. It is running 2.3.3 unrooted. The reason I'm asking, is because he wants me to root it for him. I used AHK 12.3 for mine, which I would like to use for his, but am afraid that his may have shipped with GB which would require me to switch to the newest version of AAHK 12122011. It's not a huge deal if I have to upgrade my hack kit, but being that I have used the older version before it makes me more comfortable working on someone else's phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Just use the new one. Its actually much easier now than the old 12.3. Besides, if it is the newer phone you will really screw it up using the older hack kit. Totally not worth it to use an old 12 version over newest. Just be sure to read the manual again as some stuff is different. No need to make your own gold card anymore and no downgrade necessary. It just leaves all data on stock rooted rom. From there you can do a nandroid and start flashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] suprtrukr425:
I ended up just upgrading AAHK, and it was flawless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Hello...I am a Noob here...just reg'd today. The only applicable thread for this phone is basically non active with little to no recent posts so created this new thread for some hopeful help.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Q which is actually the exact same phone as the Gravity Smart..it's Canada's version of it..same model. SGH-T589R.. After much work I just found this out today because searching for help on Galaxy Q was useless...

I have rooted the phone no prob with one click and done a lot with app2sd,etc to get more space on the smaller internal mem. Got Rom Manager and have been trying to FLASH ROM's/Kernals but to no avail!

I want to oc this phone as it only has an 800Mhz cpu.. the limited forums I have found about this phone have mixed info about kernals and oc's.. firstly there are only a few roms available for this phone i believe? Some say there are NO kernals for this phone.. is this true? Some say you can oc with only flashing to a different ROM but using the stock kernal and others say this wont work..

I have several oc apps installed but none can go past the 800 yet.

So can anyone help me with this to advise if and where (and how) I can get custom roms or kernals to install? And confirm if I can oc this phone at all and if so on stock kernal or must be flashed?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated even if only redirection to other resources as i have been exhaustingly looking for help on this for days straight...

Thanks

My girlfriend just got the GN and the phone itself is amazing. It's just suffering from the low signal bug that has been going around.

She is on EK05/EK02 right now

Is there other radios for the LTE GN? She is at -100db when her incredible was usually at -80 in this area.

If you have a GN with good service, what radio are you running? Does anyone have zips with different radios?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xelaboy:
4g is off. That is her 3g signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosympathy:
doesn't work that way with an LTE phone. You have to turn the phone off, pull the sim, and let it sit five mins or so, put it back together and reboot.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dmoisan:
I'm trying to find a good SMB client that can connect to my Win 2008r2 file server.

I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert. I've gotten File Expert to see my network share but retreiving contents is beyond slow, and I gave up. File Explorer won't connect no matter what.

I'm a Windows admin in my other life so I'm well aware that Win 7 broke a lot of old (and new :() SMB clients, but I was hoping for some luck.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Until we have cifs module compile, you have to use ES File Explorer. Did you do a LAN scan in ES File Explorer? My Windows 7 shared folders shows up and I can access them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dmoisan:
Yes, ES sees my server but either login fails or else server not found. I don't have guest access enabled. I run a domain network at home -- and I well know that is the steepest hill for any cifs client.

What are your settings? It's OK if you fake the ip's. Just so I have boilerplate to make ES happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moosc:
any chanche we can get a power control widget in the task bar? be really nice to have the touch wiz one for it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Try widgetsoid from the market ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
if you mean the "power widgets" on notifications, you'd need to get the latest CM9 Kangs to offer it. It's still a work in progress.

If you're referring to the one on your home screens, then +1 to joshnichols189. Widgetsoid works well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I was under the impression that you could use widgetsoid for the notification toggles as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elvendawn:
yes, widgetsoid works for notifications toggles too, but some of the toggles aren't working for the GN yet, and there is no LTE toggle either :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlphaVFR:
Speaking of power control. Any of you got reboot working from widgetsroid? If I am hijacking the thread let me know and I start elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
I couldn't get the reboot to work either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Widgetsoid can be used as a power widget - there is a 'how to' in the help section of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
Is there anyway to remove the widgetsoid icon from the notification bar? Initially I had it set to be invisible, but then when I had other icons in the status bar, the blank space where the invisible icon actually was annoyed the crap out of me. So I disabled the invisibility option so at least all the icons will look uniform...but I'd still rather get rid of it completely. Or find a different widget that works in the notification bar. Anyone know if Extended Control notification widgets have been updated to work with ICS as well as Honeycomb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlphaVFR:
I read the FAQ part of it. What I don't understand is this. "Make su; chmod755 /data/data/com.jim2/protocol on "Terminal Emulator"".

So I ran the two commands in Terminal and nothing happens nor the reboot working.

su

chmod755/data/data/com.jim2/protocol

This is my first Android phone. Sorry for being a beginner at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
Are you rooted? and you entered the second command with spaces right?

chmod 755 /data/data/com.jim2/protocol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlphaVFR:
Rooted and gave it permission. The spaces were in place. Not sure why the earlier reply didn't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcm2a:
Probably a silly question but how do you get the widgetsoid in the notification bar? For me it just shows up as a bunch of widgets that I can choose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sa seba:
Go into the appdrawer, scroll to widgets, choose widgetoid switcher and drag it onto your home screen. A config window will pop up where you can choose the contols you want. At the bottom of that window you need to open advanced and tick notification and widget invisible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcm2a:
Wow thanks that worked great. So by default we can only do 4 of them I guess? In one screenshot the guy has 7. On my Thunderbolt with CM7 I have 6 (not widgetsoid).

It will be great once flashlight and 4g toggles work for us!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhy8386:
you can do as many as u want. choose the 4x1 setting but it is not relevant if adding to notify bar. just add more and they will adjust in size to fit the bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
O.o wow! I haven't used Widgetsoid in awhile but that is a neat feature they implemented in. I was using CM7's Power Widget and never paid attention to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smckdwn989:
i've been using Widgetsoid as a notification bar and wanted to know if it was possible to remove the icon up the upper left corner altogether. i know there's a way to make it invisible, but it shifts my other icons to the right which drives me crazy. is it possible to remove the icon completely?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcm2a:
The difference I see from CM7 is that the toggles would stay at the top. With widgetsoid the toggles will be below the notifications. However, I now can have some applications and shortcuts in there which is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moosc:
This works much better on ics then gb. View attachment 820549
