[Nexus S General] darwin82:
Hey guys,

I had miui on my I9023 installed and upgraded to the new miui v4 version. But miui v4 is too laggy and unstable for daily use.

So I decided to test the official ics 4.0.3 update from Google.

After testing I wanted to go back to the old miui but my bootloader seems to be not correctly unlocked, I have a lock symbol below the Google icon but in the Bootloader the status says unlocked. Confusing.

Also after flashing the old miui i get the ota message from the official ics 4.0.3 update.

Anyone ideas?

Greetings
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
if you see the lock symbol under the google logo its unlocked.

if its locked you wont see a lock or something. you'll only see Google. :)

@darwin82 You should do a full wipe when switching ROMs.
[Nexus S General] darwin82:
I did full wipes for installing roms.

I see a lock but its closed not opened!

Hi!

Here's what i did:

-Installed ICS 4.0 via OTA

-Didn't like it, so installed Clokwork in order to get another ROM

-Installed a ROM which is for I9020 (my phone is 9023 - only now i realize the mistake...)

-Now it won't even boot

-I can get some button lights to lit (either the 2 on the right or the 2 on the left, or the second from left to right)

-When i press the up-down volume keys it makes a sound like its incresing/decreasing volume, so it might not be really dead...

I really need help. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I already tried to follow those instructions, but i don't seem to be able to get my phone into 'Download Mode'.

I can get it into Fastboot mode as the Ressurector says that it's on that state when i power it on and press vol up. But i don't know how to get it into Download Mode.

Can you help me with that? :D

Sorry, no expert, but since you can't you get into clockwork, and erase everything, then flash another rom, or perform a nandorid backup?
[Blade General] scizor12:
So, I got into this problem some time ago and been trying to fix it since then.

It seems this is a problem with the SMSC, but I cannot solve it. I can only send SMS that are not bigger than 1 or 2 sms together, if I try 3 or 4, it doesn't send.

My cell's network is Vodafone, I'm in Portugal and this is the SMSC number I should be using:

+351911616161

The +351 is the country code.

I tried to use the *#*#4636#*#* code in order to change it.

I click "refresh", then "update". I click back, go there again and it's blank. Also tried to use other SMS app, still doesn't send big sms.

Thanks in advance.
[Blade General] justme1988:
Did you try it with an alternative sms application to see if this fixes anything?
[Blade General] GuestD2797:

He is portuguese like me and i talk in our language ;)

BTW i have exactly the same problem and i saw today, i cant send a big sms like 8msgs in 1 :(

i use rom client and GOSMS pro client and same problem, i think maybe a problem with cyanogen or other thing...

Need URGENT help............? Nexus S. Problem with Android Bootloader Interface or perhaps i don't have any idea what the problem is.

I am using nexus s 19020T, rooted, clockworkmod . My problem starts with ICS update. I got update and tried to install it. I got bellow error

"Opening update package...

"

Then i reverted every thing back to 2.3.1 (nandroid backup). Now I am not able to become superuser. But I got 2.3.6 OTA. Again tried to update super user binaries. I am getting error "signature verification failed. Installation aborted."

I able to access the adb via command prompt whenever my mobile is power on but when I am in fastboot I am not able to access adb and fastboot commands. I can clearly see whenever device reboots under "devmgmt.msc" Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface is disappearing.

It seems same problem faced here http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1304158.html. But in my case I don't have clockworkrecovery access also, My mobile is just unlocked without root access. I don't have any idea how to install image. At least I want to install clockwork recovery. Is there any other way around to do that?

Please let me know if you need further information.

Thanks in advance. Really not being a superuser sucks..........!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
Try read the stickied thread for rooting carefully. You need to get at least fastboot working, so that you can flash CWM. I suspect you have a driver issue. Believe it or not, doing it in Linux is probably easier than you think... Most modern Linux distributions have drivers for these phones out of the box. When I was trying to resurrect my bricked phone, I used the Ubuntu live CD. It detected the phone on the live CD without me doing anything! If you want, you can read the stickied root guide for Ubuntu. Do it in a VM or install it on a spare computer, whatever you prefer.

Put the downloaded recovery image in the same directory as fastboot.exe then use the command fastboot flash recovery your-downloaded-recovery.img to flash it.

You can ROOT your device very easy...

first download : http://www.4shared.com/zip/2L09-JyW/Root_Nexus_S.html

Just unpack , connect your device and click run.bat

After that you need : remove install-recovery.sh just in .....

run in windows-> Start->at the search bar write cmd and navigate into your android sdk is installed

For me :

C:/"Programs and Files (x86)"/Android/android-sdk/tools/>adb shell

# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

#exit

or with Root Explorer into system/etc/install-recovery.sh just renam it (ex. : .sh.old)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alexjustdoit:
Hello all. I am running the latest Tsugi rom, and I installed MiLocker as well as multiple milocker themes. Something I have noticed: I can use locker themes where the unlock function is a pull down box, but when I switch to another theme that uses a different unlock function it does 1 of 2 things. Some themes wont even switch at all. It will say it was applied succesfully, but the unlock theme is exactly the same as before. With another theme, the background will switch, but the button will not switch to a different kind of button (in this case a 5 way radial button, or something like that). It will remain as a pull down to unlock box, albeit with a slightly different look.

This is incredibly frustrating, as I pretty much cannot switch the themes to anything I like. Someone want to help me out?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
While being an experienced linux user, I still consider myself android noob, so I hope I can get some info about the problem here (yes, and you said to be nice while I was registering, so please let me solve it myself, it may be a new challenge :p )

System:SGS I9000 8GB, not overclocked (tried 1200 for some time)

OS: Gingerbread 2.3.5 XXJVT

Kernel: Semaphore 2.1.1 JVZ

Battery: huge fat 3000mah buddy, to be replaced by 3500 ones and a desk charger

System uses semaphore script manager to manager init.d directory

System is rooted(3.0.3) and uses voodoo control(2.1.1) to manage sound possibilities

Problem:

After applying a list of mods I found here (originally, I used froyo ...), I thought everything was fine, but I noticed 2 problems:

1. the system is unstable: when I do not use the phone, it often completely turns off, without me noticing it. This weekend however, I noticed this does not happen when connected to USB. I consider the voltage description for my cpu a bit too low at the lowest frequencies, or the battery has had its time and needs replacement (when performing on USB power, the SGS always is at highest frequencies, and on battery, the ondemand governor does its work and slows down the CPU).

2.When dialing a number from the dialer, or getting dialed, everything works fine. However, when I take a number from my message history and try to dial it, the microphone does not work. it does not matter if the phone is in my contact list or not. The person at the other side only hears some cracking noise and that's it.

So, my question is about part 2: where can I find any information about the android audio subsystem? by using my linux experience, I can already make the following statements:

- The audio system works with the dialer (phone and microphone work)

- The audio system works partly while the message program passes its information to the dialer (phone works), but the system fails to pass the microphone information to the dialer.

- The message program may have some kind of 'lock' on the subsystem (it must be able to send MMS messages with voice), but 'forgets' to release it when starting the dialer.

but this is just guessing info, I'd like to have a more clear vision on the situation.

So, where can I find documentation related to the problem?

all ideas are welcome, this is not urgent
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
I normally use wifi and thus mobile data is normally off. On my previous phone, I used extended controls which worked really well. I like having widget on the screen to turn the mobile data on or off, really not into screwing around with settings.

With the RAZR, with extended controls, the data off option seems to still allow the phone to "think" there is a mobile connection. I see the sync symbol appear and I think that this searching for a data connection is killing the battery life somehow.

I have now tried various widgets like APNDroid, extended controls, etc and they all seem to have the same effect. I think it is because they just rename the APN versus completely turning off the data.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on this issue? Thank you in advance.

Rob
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
I think you can set up smart actions to toggle it off for you whenever you connect to Wi-Fi. And then to toggle it back on when you leave the Wi-Fi area.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Thanks for the suggestion Gary. Thought about smart actions but I leave mobile data off all the time until I need it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Defiant79:
I was using the smart actions our Razrs and with the mobile data off it wasn't downloading Voicemails or pictures in text messages until the mobile data was turned back on. Not sure if its something with our setup or not, but I disabled the smart action until I investigate it further.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Yeah, the not downloading MMS thing is fairly common when you turn off data. I don't receive many MMS so it is not something that I really concerned myself about.

After searching for some time now, I found that juice defender has a mobile data widget which is doing what I need. I do not have juice defender enabled but installed it just for the widget. In the widget list it is called "Toggle: mobile data". Seems to get the job done.

I will look into using the other features of juice defender as I have heard many good things about it. I am guessing it is similar to smart actions but maybe not as user friendly.

Many thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Defiant79:
Juice Defender was awesome on my Samsung Epic. I haven't looked at all the smart actions yet so I don't know if most of the features of juice defender can be accomplished with that or not.

Wasn't sure about the MMS, just wanted to mention in case it was an issue.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Just had the best battery life ever from this phone. Only real changes were the juice defender widget and setting almost all apps to close using task manager. Normal day at work, about 10 hours, used to come home with about 40-50% battery, today it was at 90% after work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
What's wrong with the stock Mobile Data Toggle widget?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Which widget is that one? I see airplane, GPS, wifi, etc but nothing for data specifically. It would be awesome to use a stock widget and have the same results.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
This one. Is it not present in VZW firmware? Could certainly explain why it's grouped separately from the rest of the stock toggle widgets if so.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Strange ... I do not see that widget in my list.

When you turn data off using that widget, does the data icon in your taskbar completely disappear or just go to an inactive state (icon grey all the time)?

With all the widgets I have tried so far, the data icon just goes inactive (icon grey all the time) but using the juice defender widget the data icon disappears completely from the taskbar.

When I had the data inactive (icon grey all the time), I would see the phone attempting to sync and this led me to believe that there is likely several things trying to find a connection. During that time, my battery life sucked hard, was worried that if my work day lasted too long that my phone would die (and I don't use my phone much during the day + wifi, BT, sound, etc all off). Since using the JD widget, I am rocking 80-90% remaining at the end of my work day so far.

Other items I have done to save battery are:

SetCPU profile - nothing special, just min CPU (300-300) for screen off, recharging or low battery

Task Manager - autoclose everything 2 min after screen off except the widgets I want running

Screen Brightness - about 30 or 40%
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Data completely disappears when the switch is toggled. It's the same effect as disabling packet data from within the settings menu (normally under wireless & networks, RAZR has it under data manager).

I've seen that grey icon too. Suspect the blue/grey icon colours represent the heartbeat connection to Google, just like the green/grey icons in stock Gingerbread. So grey data icon = connected to network with no throughput, which an APN change could well accomplish.

I will investigate the possibility of extracting the widget, but assume it has been left out due to differences between CDMA/LTE & GSM/UMTS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SallyC:
I'm using JD and my data is blue (just the 3G /4G words) but no bars when I have my wifi on. I am using advanced mode with Location if that helps.

I have no complaints about battery drain either. Pretty constant use today and at about 35% after 11 hours.

Hello,

I am new to this whole rooting thing (kind of, I have rooted the Droid Incredible and put CM7.1 on) so please don't flame me, I have a few questions:

1) What is the difference between root, fastboot, hboot?

2) The ROM is the OS? What is the Kernel? Radio?

3) What is a "non-permanent ADB root"?

I have the Galaxy Nexus, and I want to use Titanium BU, the stock ROM, so I know I need root, is SU/SuperUser what gives you "root"?

Is all I need to do here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362957?

I just need a little explanation... Also, where is some good in depth threads on these subjects?

Thanks for your time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Virnik0:
1) root is similiar to Windows's Administrator account/permission in linux/unix world. Android is just customized Linux. Getting your phone 'rooted' means that you will be able to do almost anything on your phone

2) Basically, ROM is package containing whole OS with it's filesystem (or tools to create it). After flashing (installing) it, you'll be able to run it on your phone (like you did with CM7.1). Kernel is basic running code/binary package, ie. Core.

Kernel = Linux/Unix/Android in it's most basic form. Anything from 'ping' command, window manager to your games are just additional parts of whole OS, which is based on such specific kernel.

Radio is something like BIOS/drivers/firmware, simply some piece of binary system or instructions set, so often called 'Modem', and it is allowing you to use GSM, 3G, and in some cases BT. Wrong/No Radio means you'll make no call, no sms, no 3G.

3) Non permanent ADB root is attack technique to successfully attack (hack) your phone over USB, to gain root access.This access is lost after reboot.

It works on some phone types.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstriano:
So in the case of the Galaxy Nexus root method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362957, you use FastBoot to gain access, then you push the SU/SuperUser over USB, and then you are rooted, but then if you reboot the boot loader is locked, but the phone is still rooted?
