[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpinDisc:
So I have a question about updating to 4.0.2 after rooting. I bought the VZW LTE Galaxy Nexus yesterday, and in my excitement, I immedately unlocked the bootloader. Around the time I finished (hadn't downloaded the SDK in advance), I found the instructions to root, and figured since I hadn't set my phone up yet that I might as well get that out of the way, and make a new back-up.

Well, after I finished rooting and the back-up, I fired up the phone, and attempted to start the OTA update. It started and look like it was working for about 5-10 seconds. Then it stopped, and I was greeted with a little green Andi, with it's stomach open and a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. After searching around, I obviously learned that this is not great, and that I can't get the OTA update to work. I tried a few more times with the same result. Needless to say, I know that I probably rushed through everything, and should have updated to 4.0.2 before rooting, but once you get on a roll, it's hard to stop. ;)

So after a lot of searching last night, I think I might have found a solution, but want to run it by others before I try (because I can't stand the system update pop-up coming up anymore!). I downloaded the 4.0.1 image, but haven't unzipped it yet. From another thread I saw, after you unzip the boot.img and system.img, and place them in the same folder as fastboot, I could do the following (in fastboot):

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

So my question is - If I do this (and basically remove root), can I accept the update to 4.0.2, and then root?

Any and all help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Couldn't agree more the support and back up from dev's and most of the guys is second to none, your much quicker getting stuff resolved on here than phoning your service providers helpline...

I've thanked as many as i can with a Donation too when i've been able to afford it...
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
Thanks to all of these people, a bit drier one than the one above but still a thanks ;)
[Desire HD General] kaleavi:
Absolutely true, better come here than ring service providers.. its like DIY, its easy and fun.. love it.

Without XDA I wouldn't use my phone for anything like I do now :)

There would have been sooo much issues that I could not have resolved on my own...

THANKS XDA Developers and users!!

I got the OTA update downloaded but could not install.Read somewhere if you have CWM ota update wont work.So i have downloaded the stock image for 4.0.2 and its in .tgz format

How can i upgrade to 4.0.2 using CWM or odin and not loose my data and setup.?

Please advice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbroeders:
Check out Chainfire's thread. He posted a no-wipe version flashable through Odin. Follow the instructions there and make sure you download the correct version for your phone (GSM/LTE)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hussainally:
hi thanks for your reply.His update you will not be updating to new bootloader am i right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbroeders:
Indeed, it won't touch your data, recovery or bootloader. They're all safe afaik :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hussainally:
thats the prob...4.0,2 has a new bootloader right?i want that.

ok what if i just want to install fresh clean stock 4.0.2...how do i do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbroeders:
If you want fresh clean stock then you can do two things:

1) on linux, extract the contents of the tgz package and use the sh script inside to flash.

2) since that's not possible on windows, you could use Chainfire's odin files first and next manually flash the bootloader and/or radioimage with fastboot. You can extract the bootloader and radio yourself from the tgz/tar package or look for them in the development section, someone posted them there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
You can flash it in windows using fastboot, you don't need to use odin for anything:

Extract the factory images

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hussainally:
Thanks everyone...will give it a go.....Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbroeders:
Thanks. Just checking, if I would like to do this, but without a wipe, can't i just flash the bootloader and radio like you suggested, and then use Odin to flash Chainfire's no-wipe version right? Just so i fully understand, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
What I posted does not wipe. There's little reason to use Odin. Using Odin you *can* easily brick your device (Ask all of the folks in the Nexus S forums that used Odin to flash the wrong package for their device).

fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This does not wipe

fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This wipes (-w wipes)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hussainally:
ok guys please bare with me here,Never done this before.when i run command adb-windows.exe,it works,thenwhen i run fastboot-windows.exe devices it works

then when i go to bootloader more...the green android with word start on top when i type fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img,nothing happens and it says on the phone bad command or something

please advice

Nevermind guys...I DID IT.Thanks so much...excellent guide

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] L-ViZ:
Hello Guys, i bought a new mugen akku and dunno what´s the best way to calibrate it.

There are a few things that are confusing me:

1.Mugen Instructions: "Never drain battery to 0%"

(but that´s required for calibration, isn´t it?)

2.the battery got its full power after a few charges/discharges

(so would it be better to wait to calibrate the akku when it got its full power?)

So finally, should i wait with calibration or do it at the beginning? I think one time is necessary to let it go down to 0%.

So what are your advice?

thx in advance, l-viz :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] matthewjett:
The way I calibrate mine is to discharge it completely so it turns off by itself (normally happens around 1 or 2%) then plug it into the charger and let it charge completely to 100%. Note that the LED will turn green at 90% .. so its not done yet!

Just my 2 coppers...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
You are just calibrating the battery meter on the phone, not the battery. People constantly abuse the terminology.

You don't need to drain the battery to zero, because the battery meter is not even remotely that accurate in the best of circumstances. Draining to 10 or even 20% is no different than draining to zero.

What CAN happen if you drain to zero, is you you may trip the safety circuit on the battery, and render the battery unable to take a charge, thereby rendering it useless. Its not very likely, and safeguards on the phone are designed to prevent this, but plenty of people on here have had it happen. Full power cycles (draining to zero) also shortens the long term life of the battery. Especially considering there is NO value added to draining the battery to zero, there is no point it doing so intentionally, and taking an unnecessary risk.

Just charge your battery to 100%, let it sit on the charger for a while after full, to make sure its really topped off. Then use the phone until 10-20%. Repeat this a couple times. You can also go into recovery and clear battery stats before you charge/discharge. But I haven't noticed this to make much of a difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] matthewjett:
Wow. I didn't know that. Thanks! :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] UnSungHERO420:
Draining the battery to a literal 0% is almost impossible. Lithium ion batteries do not allow devices to utilize all the juice in a the battery. Once a device shuts off and tell you the battery is "dead", there's actually a bit more juice that is only used by the battery to prevent the battery's level from becoming too low.

Think of it like space partitions in hard drives. While you can use 100% of a single partition in a hard drive. There will still be space left over in the other partition.

Now what mugen means is to not allow the battery to reach the 0% of the ENTIRE battery. In order to make that happen you would have to discharge the battery until your device doesn't turn on and then NOT charge the battery for a very long period of time. I'm talking weeks and months of no charge whatsoever. Other than that, feel free to allow your phone to die and charge it back up. This in conjuction with deleting your battery stats file will speed up the calibration process.

Hope I helped out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
What is supposed to happen with the failsafes on the device and what ACTUALLY happens unfortunately are not one and the same. There have been plenty of people here that have let their batteries drain to zero, and then the battery will no longer take a charge.

True, the battery is not actually zero voltage. But its low enough that the safety circuit on the battery will prevent it from accepting a charge. The phone is SUPPOSED to prevent the voltage from dipping that low, but it doesn't always work. So the only way to bring the battery back to life, is with a special battery meter with a "boost" function. Since the vast majority of us do not have access to such a thing, the battery is effectively dead, as buying one is likely cheaper and easier than getting access to such a battery meter.

As I've already mentioned, this is unlikely to happen. But its happened to at least a few people with our phone, and I've seen it happen to other XDA users with other devices. No point in playing probabilities, if it happens to you, it sucks and it doesn't matter how "almost impossible" its supposed to be. As I already discussed, the battery meters on phones are not even close to accurate enough to read single, or even 5% battery increments. So draining to zero is not any more beneficial than draining to 10%. No benefit in draining to zero, so why risk it?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] WTF?:
I have learned the hard way that discharging lithium ion batteries below 20% is the fastest way to kill them early! (greatly shorten their life)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] L-ViZ:
thanks 4 replies, a lot of useful knowledge :)

I would try rubbing alcohol maybe. Is it a sticker? On the Verizon LTE version, it's inlaid in the plastic.

That or just buy another back door.

Like these: http://www.scottsmenswear.com/product/henri-lloyd-bradley-jeans---reg/01877/ ... I have worn them a few times with my phone so it didn't happen straight away

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, I have tried fairy liquid and it didn't work :/

I could do that but then it will make my jeans lose their colour :( haha

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I dont have this...are you LTE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qw3r7yju4n:
Confirmed - LTE

My LTE has those antenna ports as well. I suppose you could plug in a laptop antenna and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhinolow:
I've got them on my lte
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjskalet:
Its possible that they are ports for a wireless charging system that may come out for the nexus. I have noticed more phones are incorporating it in from beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikm19:
It does look like port for antenna, I don't think its for wireless charging back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ITGuy11:
Those ports are used by the carriers to hook up their test equipment during the phone testing and certification process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yegoshin:
This is correct those are not really intended to be used as external antenna/amplifier ports. Those of you who want a correct connector it may be found here: wpsantennas.com

WARNING: Those connectors are really fragile and I have had to resolder a new connector after one of mine got stuck 'open' (wpsantennas put up a warning for that adapter).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptkill:
I'm curious given all the talk of poor signal issues with the GNex... Would it be possible / beneficial to connect to one of these ports and coil / attach something to the battery door? I am certainly not suggesting I go experimenting, but if after research it turns into, buy this adapter, cut here, buy this, solder, attach here... that would awesome. Even a little improvement would make many people happy I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
I have the GSM version of the gnex and I only have 1 antenna port on the back of my phone.

I've tried connecting a wireless antenna but the connection is too small, the gnex connection is a bit bigger than your standard wireless connector plug.

I'm assuming you need something special to plug into it ')
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] btate0121:
What about the one labled "G"? Is that a GPS hookup? I have the airwave at home and it happened to have a gps antennae in the box. If i recall correctly.... one end of that cable looked like it would connect to this port...

If i were to experiment, could I damage my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
You could. I won't try it though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diver47591:
Gnex connections

Based on my 1 yr. of robotics, I would say (just guessing ) that L1 and L2 stand for Line1(neg.) and Line2(pos.) and G(ground). As to C1 and C2, no idea. All these are probably intended for trained techs and could potentially turn your phone into a paper weight if used incorrectly. Just sayin'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
Once you attach an Antenna, it will open that port and it will be sick open meaning it won't ever work again without an Antenna. A friend of mine did this to the epic 4g

Im not even worried about my signal strength but the bars seem to be extremely inaccurate.

Hi there.

I've been using gtg's "UNnamed"ROM. I absolutely love it. However, there are some bugs that lead Me to believe the kernel is at fault.don't ask me why I think that, i'm a noob. Lol. Anyway, I tried to flash Chris 41g's acs recovery repack (matching el13). When I try booting after that, it shows the galaxy s 2 start screen and then goes to a blank screen.

I'm wiping cache and dalvic before I flash, using cwm to flash the zip from my phone. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there some reason why one wouldn't be able to do that?

I don't want to bog down the dev thread with this one.

I made the app using appmakr, I know I can simply change it from there but that's too simple. It doesn't get me to learn anything at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GoodDayToDie:
The app name is in the WMAppManifest.xml file. There are a few elements called "Title" that should be changes (I think one is for the app list, one for the pinned tile; I forget which is which so change them both). This file is located in the root of the XAP. XAP files are just renamed ZIP files; you can use any archiving tool (including Windows Explorer if you rename the file, though I prefer to use 7-Zip) to open it up and edit the contents.
