[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Honestly you can forget upgrading through kies and use Odin or mobile Odin.

There is an app called checkfus which will tell you if there is an upgrade for your carrier in your region.

Then from intratechs thread you can download whatever official firmware you want and flash using Odin or even better mobile Odin which will root the firmware at the same time as you flash it.

I know I haven't answered your question but Odin/mobile Odin in my opinion are better options.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As ace of Clubs said you can wait for Kies to upgrade whenever and its not a guarantee that you get updates even on original firmware and once you mess with firmware its pot luck as to Kies updating .

The same idea for Nexus4

It's a great idea for all the nexus devices and especially the brand new Nexus4:

Simple

Cheap

useful (protective case + expendable memory).

It should also provide a mecanism to offer a microUSB port left for letting us charge the phone even if it is plugged to the case.

Any news?!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nessim19:

Find out a small company doing such a thing for the iphone but seems too massive (coz of the expendable battery on it).

Should be ok for a Nexus device with only expandable memory. The sucess for that hypothetic product would be undeniable regarding ppl anger about the lack of sd slot on those devices.

[Nexus S Android Development] ffosilva:
Hi! I'm generated some images to restore device directly to ICS. It also include md5 file for file verification purposes.

Every file was tested on I9023, but I think it will works on OLED version of phone. Some images was generated using applypatch that uses SHA1 verification, so... it's allright. =P

You can find it at:

http://android.fabiosilva.org/crespo/ICS_4.0.3_IMAGES/

It includes recovery_fixed.img. I'm compiled it using AOSP and fixed graphics manually so screen doesn't goes to black. It also includes an system_preroot.img if you wanna a rooted stock image one and to finish root simply download Superuser from market.

Thanks.

Description of files:

md5 -> MD5 Checksum of files

bootloader.img -> Bootloader: I9020XXKL1

radio.img -> Baseband: I9020XXKI1

boot.img -> Stock kernel (unmodified)

recovery.img -> Stock recovery image (shows android and disapear - stock buggy)

recovery_fixed.img -> Recovery built by me with graphics fixed

system.img	19-Dec-2011 01:08	286M

system_preroot.img -> System partition with superuser preinstaled. Needs to download Superuser via Market.

system_preroot_custom.img -> System partition with pre-root and Galaxy Nexus ringtones included.

system_rw.img -> Stock 'system' partition ext4 image (can mount it on linux - not sparse)
[Nexus S Android Development] GallStones:
So this contains also a boot.img with the stock kernel?

What's the line I have to type from fastboot to flash only the kernel image? "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
[Nexus S Android Development] ffosilva:
Yes! Everything is stock except recovery_fixed.img, system_preroot.img and system_preroot_custom.img.

recovery_fixed contains a custom build of stock recovery that shows image, stock one have a bug.

To root system_preroot only needs to download superuser from market.

system_preroot_custom also contais preroot and tuna ringtones.

system_rw.img is ext4 image that can be mounted via mount (not sparce).
[Nexus S Android Development] fherbet:
Hi guys, could you explain what are the different steps to flash these images via fastboot?
[Nexus S Android Development] ffosilva:
Steps:

1 - Put phone on Bootloader Mode. (Volume Up + Power)

2 - fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (to flash bootloader)

3 - Reboot bootloader (recommended)

4 - Type: fastboot flash radio radio.img (to flash radio partition)

5 - Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to flash recovery)

6 - Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (to flash kernel)

7 - Type: fastboot flash system system.img (to flash system partition)

You can also use system_preroot.img or system_preroot_custom.img on step 7 and recovery_fixed.img on step 5.
[Nexus S Android Development] santet:
Hello.

Is this image still available. I am unable to mount my memory card to drop the stock image for flashing via recovery and so need this to flash via fastboot.

At&t does not push the update, Google does. As far as I've read only the 9020t (T-Mo) version has started to receive OTA updates. Google's announcement stated that the entire roll out will happen over the next month so it could be mid-January before all NSs get on official OTA.

There are ICS ROMs, based on the 9020t OTA, in the development section that work fine on the 9020a, just use a 9020a radio.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnathan:
Hey guys

Simple question. Is there any way to use the NFC chip inside the Nexus to replace my NFC security passes for work? I have two for different areas of my work place and was thinking it would be cool to replace them both with my phone if there was some way to use the phone.

Any ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shailentj:
Not quite.

1) Your NFC card youuse at work is probably locked with an authentication key. In order to replicate the NFC card (read this as a full hex dump of the card's information), you need the secret keys.

2) If you are able to do this, then there is a possibility. Some NFC security uses the UID of the card. You will then have to change the UID of the phone to be the same as that of your card. I am not sure whether the UID of the nexus S chip is hardware based.

What has your research taught you so far?

I never came across this issue with my G2, but during google's 10 cent sale I bought a few games (asphalt 6 was the main one I wanted) and when I first got my sensation it came preloaded with N.O.V.A 2

Since rooting my phone neither one of those is now available, they don't show up in the market and when I tried to push the apk file it still doesn't work. When I check the market on my desktop it says my phone is incompatible. I have tried multiple roms, thinking it may have been a sense 3.5 issue, but it happens on 3.0 roms as well.

Have any of you run into this issue? Why does this happen, and how can I fix it?
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
I can't comment on before or after rooting my phone because I did it straight away, but I can't 'see' either of those games in the Market. I also can't buy Shadowgun. Apart from those people running pirated copies, there are clearly also people who can buy and download these games. I just don't get it. At first I thought people must be using Chainfire's Tegra app, but I don't think it's just that. I guess it should be possible to change something on the build.prop but I can't work out exactly what the key difference is.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
After I posted I found this:

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-in...-from-android-market-for-unsupported-devices/

I haven't tried it yet but I'll post back when I do. Nova 2 worked just fine on my phone before I rooted it, and I bought asphalt6 with my phone (again, before I rooted and installed new roms) I'm assuming not everybody has these problems, so I'd love to know why some of us have issues and others don't?
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
Thanks for the link. I'm debating whether or not to flash a stock ROM first to see what happens.

Also, the other factor that clouds the issue is that developers can remove devices from their compatibility list in the Market as and when they choose. For example, looking on their forum, this appears to be the case with the Sensation and Madfinger's Shadowgun.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
So from what I'm learning I need the original buildprop from the stock sensation in order to make this work. I tried the directions from the link I posted and clearly changed something because I got an email welcoming me to the nexus s, but my market still tells me asphalt 6 is not available for my sensation.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Here's to add to the link posted.

[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Thanks, I'll try those edits and see what happens.
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
Purely for info. Flashing back to a stock ROM (1.50.401.1) didn't work for me, though I was still S-off, just in case that matters in some way that I don't realise.

Tried altering my build.prop as per the OP's link but it didn't work for me. Haven't tried kpjimmy's link yet.

I'd still like to find out for sure if anyone can buy these games without an altered build.prop, and if so, why? (excluding anyone who's using chainfire's app...)
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
So after spending an hour trying things out my phone's nearly dead and I'm at work so I won't be able to recharge it until I get in the car, but as I type it's downloading asphalt 6. It also thinks it's a Nexus S as it asked me if I wanted to update to IceCream sandwich. A little scary as I'm assuming that would brick my phone. Anyhow, here's what I've done so far:

Clear Market Cache & Data. Settings > Applications > All > Market > Clear data.

Launch ES File Explorer. Enable both Root Explorer and Mount File System under Settings > Root Settings.

Navigate to /system. Here you will find the build.prop file. Take a backup of it by copy-pasting it to your SD card.

Open & edit /system/build.prop

Change the following lines to make your phone identify as a GSM Nexus S:

ro.product.model=Nexus S

ro.product.brand=Google

ro.product.name=sodu

ro.product.device=crespo

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys

Save file and remember to change the chmod type button back to read only in the system folder

Reboot the phone

My build prop had 2 entries for build description and I edited both of them. I'm going to try to get NOVA 2 as well, I'll post back after I try playing both of them. I just don't understand why it was so flipping difficult to get these?

And why don't all rooted/rom'ed sensations have this issue?:confused::confused:

My last 2 questions I might find on my own, but maybe somebody has an answer so I don't have to experiment. If I wipe/reset and reinstall my current rom, will that rebuild the build.prop file back to original?

AND....if I do get both these games working and use Titanium to back them up, will I be able to reinstall them without re-editing the buildprop file again?:confused::confused::confused:

More to come, stay tuned...
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
Shadow Gun was available to us on the market until very recently.

Madfingers found out that there were driver issues that they couldn't fix... or something like that, so they pull it for the Senny for now.

there is a sticky on their forum regarding it.

far as Asphalt 6, log onto Gameloft's site via your phone(user agent set to Android) and you can purchase it directly from the site.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
That still doesn't answer the question of why isn't the Market working correctly?
[HTC Sensation] DaygosTommyT:
I'm assuming u have a US sensation? My thinking is if you flashed a Rom that is based on the euro sensation then maybe the market identifies the phone as a euro sensation and blocks certain apps that aren't available in Europe....maybe?
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I started with a US updated to the latest release. I rooted it and tried in this order (or close to it):

Android Rev. 4.1

Energy

Elegancia

TMXSS (maff1989's rom)

I had forgotten about asphalt and nova until I was on Elegancia, but on the TMX rom, which is a stock us version basically, it didn't work. I really don't understand the inner workings of android, I'm not even close to a developer level, so if this might be a stupid question...does the buildprop file change with each rom? Basically if I reflash the rom I'm using now it'll rebuild the buildprop?
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
Yes, build prop changes with each ROM
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Ouzo,

this doesn't answer the original question, but it's looking like going directly to Gameloft's website worked for me, at least with Nova 2. The problem though is even though I paid for it once through market the Gameloft site doesn't recognize that, so if I want either game I am going to need to either pay twice or request a refund from google.
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
Good news that you can download NOVA via Gameloft's website, though to be honest I'm not going to do that because I don't want to create a second account to access their games. I didn't like the idea of giving them my mobile number - knowing my luck I'd end up getting a load of marketing calls from all over ; )

I'm also just feeling stubborn about this. There must be people on here who know. Hopefully they'll read this thread and enlighten us. I'm going to carry on experimenting with other ROMs and see if any unlock the reason why.... Wonder if Sensation XE owners/ROM users can see NOVA etc in the market?
