[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Included too much information. What update? I'm assuming you're stock and didn't root or do any tweaks?

Just update, all of your settings and such will still be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_desal:
OTA 4.0.2, it is rooted for the Titanium Backup, stock ROM and kernel (4.0.1, KK1-Baseband, 3.0.1 Kernel), no other tweaks I am aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
An OTA update doesn't erase anything..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daz.g:
I'm in a similar kind of position and I think that provided you have standard recovery the update will work fine and you'll lose no settings although I've seen some suggestions you'll lose root by updating. Not sure how it would affect you if you have a non-standard kernel tho...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Having root doesn't mean anything. As long as you didn't do any changes to the kernel, or anything outside of /sdcard/ even though you have root. You'll be fine, it won't wipe anything. Just accept the OTA and everything will be okay.

I'd recommend using https://market.android.com/details?...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ.. as it will keep your root access post-OTA.

@daz.g: Not having the stock kernel provided by Google and accepting the OTA is a huge-nono and will most likely fail. You can keep root with the app I linked above. But using stock ROM + stock kernel + root, your options are rather limited and it's better off going off with Custom ROMs. If people are going to be risky and root, might as well go all the way. Risking and flashing ROMs aren't even that scary ;)

Screen goes black after updating to .62.Its even black when I reboot it but after boot it gets on for some time.Anyone know how to fix it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abhishekcal:
phones shows black screen for sometime after updating and takes a little bit of more time to boot for the first start after update.

If u are having this problem multiple times then what u can do is connect ur phone to pc and start update using PC Companion not SEUS. if there will be problem with the software the pc companion will show "Repair" link. Just click on that and ur phone will get updated.

Rply after doing this.

Lets wat else can we do...

Good Luck...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DanteEx:
In light of all the recent wifi issues with the Asus Transformer Prime. I got thinking.. Would it be possible for the prime to theoretically use a USB wifi dongle as the receiver through the keyboard dock?

Obviously android since gingerbread has had USB hosting and the ability to use mice, keyboards, game controllers and other devices, but how about a USB wireless networking adapter?

Thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Interesting thought and I have no idea... For average use wifi suffices but might be a nice option when going to a place where wifi is crap (like vacation house or something).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TBTransformer:
Iwas thinking the samething. The question is would there be driver issues with the USB device?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Not quite yet

If you are simply talking about a Wireless N Wifi dongle, there would be little gain, While not the best, a properly functioning Prime gets reasonable WiFi performance. Witness mine, which I regularly see 15-20 Mbit downloads speeds, so not great, but certainly acceptable.

If insetad you want a 3G wireless stick, at the present this is not an option. Honeycomb and even ICS do not provide support for these natively, though a rooted device I believe can be made to work with 1 or 2 3G sticks. When talking 3G, the best move is just root your phone and tether to that, but watch to 300 Mb game downloads folks. AT&T will make your head spin with the $ if you go over the measly 2 Gb plan (I was grandfathered in on an "Unlimited' data plan, and lost it... no biggie, they still bust you if you repeatedly use high bandwidth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] topher1978:
Good evening

I was wondering if there is any other thoughts on using a USB WiFi dongle with the prime. The reason I ask is that I note several retailers are starting to get stock in the UK and I am on the verge of purchasing.

The only issue I have is the WiFi range issue as I work on an offshore oil rig which has a WiFi network and I can currently use this within my cabin on a night with my net book to surf the net. However as there are a fair few partitions and a good distance etc between the WiFi router and the cabins, I don't think the Primes WiFi range would be sufficient (based on others posting issues when they are trying to pass through a few walls).

If a USB WiFi dongle could be made to work i would buy a prime tomorrow, otherwise I think I am going to stick with the net book for a while longer and wait for another model / manufacturer with Tegra 3 (I really don't want to follow the crowd and get an Apple!)

Many thanks!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Should knlw what that could be a good idea. THERES a guy in developement thread named Saturnde. He has made a thread called new or added drivers or something. He compiled a list of new drivers into a zip file for support of new USB devices that aren't normally supported by prime. He said if you want drivers for a particular device tl let him know. He will need name of device n model number or something. Won't hurt to run it past him and see if its feasible or possible. Let us know how it goes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Friends,

I have been having problems since I flashed XILA2 ROM. I was on XWKL1 earlier. In the first try of flashing XILA2, everything went smoothly and I was getting a good network signal of H+. But after rooting with CF root, I tried to do some mods with UOT Kitchen. The phone refused to boot after applying the UOT zip file in the Recovery mode. So I had to reflash the XILA2 Rom again via Odin.

Now the problem is that I am not getting any Network Signal after flashing the XILA2 ROM and the phone is asking me to "Insert a SIM card", even when the SIM card is already inserted in the phone.

So what should I do now to get my Network Signal back?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Did you flash a modem? Reflash the modem via Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
I flashed the Intratech file of XILA2 which includes modem, Multi CSC. You just need to flash that single Tar file of Intratech by putting it in the PDA. Have flashed dozens of Intratech ROMs before without this problem.

Now IMEI is showing as "Unknown", IMEI SV is Unknown, Service State is showing as Out of Service.

What is the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
Efs corruption.

Hope that you have a backup of your efs folder.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
what is EFS corruption? :( I have Titanium Pro installed, but I don't think I backed up anything in my phone.

What exactly happened and what to do now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Hey Seniors, Experts.....any solution?

Calling the Seniors & Experts on this forum.....My IMEI showing as Unknown. No Network. I'm told my EFS has been corrupted. So what's the solution now???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilingcruel:
Do you have EFS backup?? as far as i read, there is no backup which you have mentioned........

one solution is to get your phone back to samsung service ...hopw its under warrenty...

not sure whether it works or not....but try flashing a orignal samsung firmware...

Thanks Veyka, but I am scared to use this tool as it gives warning that it might brick my phone. Wouldn't it be wiser to just take my phone to the Service Centre while it is still working and is on STOCK ROM XWKL1 as it is still under warranty?

Also will it help if I reflashed just the MODEM again? I have read on some forums that flashing Modem again worked for some people. Can somebody give me the link to download the Modem file for XWKL1

Flash any modem, go to the modem sticky in android development, extract and flash modem.bin, try that before you do anything with efs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
I have a modem_xwk1.rar file from which I have extracted modem_xwkl1.bin. So I can flash the modem_xwkl1.bin fil as it is via Odin or do I have to rename it to anything? If yes, then what should I rename the .bin file to?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
That is what the tool i posted a link to does.

Flashing a modem wont help, if you have never rooted or flash any custom roms, then just take it to samsung or call your provider or whoever you got it from and tell them you lost service.

As you have flashed roms and mods and i imagine you have root, you might as well try the tool, It cant break the phone anymore than its allrdy broken.

And if the tool doesn't work, just flash back to stock, reset the flash counter with a USB jig and get it repaired under warranty, don't tell them about flashing custom roms, tell them it just happened.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Cool, will use that repair tool as a last resort. It will be pretty easy for me to invoke warranty so why go thru unnecessary trouble. Right now I just want to flash the Modem file as a last try. I have a file named MODEM_XWKL1.RAR which contains the file MODEM_XWKL1.BIN now all I want to know is which of these file is to be renamed and renamed to what for flashing via Odin???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Just send it off for warranty then, as flashing the modem will not fix a corrupt EFS.

And to flash via odin, rename it to modem.bin, shove it inside a .tar file and flash it in the modem slot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
What do u mean by "shove it inside a .tar file"....do you mean I can just change the name of the file from modem.bin TO modem.tar OR I have to compress the modem.bin file using some compression tool?

"flash it in the modem slot" ....... I guess you mean flash it in the PHONE slot, coz there is no slot named Modem in Odin. Right?

Thank you for your patience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Thanks all for trying to help, but I guess I'll have to invoke warranty

Thanks a lot for your help, everyone, I really appreciate.

I tried flashing the modem.bin file by renaming it to modem.tar and putting it in the Phone slot, but it failed in Odin. The top left box of ODIN turns RED and says Fail. So I guess I have no option now but to take the phone back to the company.

What a bunch of helpful people are you!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
You can't?

A .tar is a .tar and a .bin is a .bin. Different types of files. A .bin is usually inside a .tar, so renaming modem.bin into modem.tar is just stupid and useless.

Just use that tool. It's your only chance to recover your phone. You rooted your phone and messed it up by messing up with flashing, otherwise the EFS wouldn't be corrupt. You lost your warranty already...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
GOD DAMN IT!!!! Can't somebody tell me how to do it, instead of just laughing here!!! I am telling you that I have a modem.rar file which contains a modem.bin file, so tell me how to flash this file via ODIN!!!! Somebody told me to rename the .bin file to .tar and flash, so I did!!!!

Will it work if I rename the modem.rar file to modem.tar???? Can somebody give me a MODEM.TAR file for my XWKL1 firmware so I can flash it on my phone???????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Download 7zip, compress the modem.bin INTO a tar file. Flashing a modem WILL NOT fix your problem, that tool may fix it, or flash to stock, reset flash counter, send of to warranty.

Dont go around renaming random files and trying to flash them.

Ps: Before you go buggering around with your phone, it might help to understand the basics, like compressing files...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
U can use mobile odin to flash modem.bin directly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
For that they would need root, and I have no clue if they have it anymore :P

But yes, that would work, or tools like DarkyOTA.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
You guys are of no help at all. I asked you before, you did not answer! I asked you if I had to compress the .bin file using some compression tool, you DID NOT ANSWER!

With all this rage from you, it makes us lose all "pleasure" to help you, so calm down.

I don't believe that'll work, because what you need is a fresh efs folder, not a fresh modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
Thanks a ton, Umarian. While other people were just talking here, you gave me exactly what I needed. Thanks again, mate.

This time the modem flashed perfectly all right. It's a different matter that it did not solve my lost IMEI or Network problem. I guess, The repair tool is the only option left now. Either that or invoking my warranty.

I'll choose between the two tomorrow now.

Good night, all.

In Download mode, is the flash count >0? If so, you've lost the warranty.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
Man, it was Your responsibility to backup EFS, it's mentioned everywhere. You are trying to blame others for your own fault.

That automated tool will not brick your phone IMHO. But, if it helps depends of what kind of damage your efs suffered. If EFS partition can be read and only nv_data.bin is damaged it should help, otherwise it will do nothing. I would go with manual repair (umarian posted link to tutorial), but it requires reading much info and understanding what You are doing.

If you decide to return phone to service center - check You custom rom counter. Flashing CF-root increases that counter and service will know that You are the one who blow your efs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Im sorry (:rolleyes:) I had assumed that following my post the following things would happen.

1) As your grasp of the English language seems to be quite good, understand that to shove something inside something is synonymous with putting something inside which would cause you to make the leap to putting the file inside a tar.

2) I then assumed that if you did not know how to make a tar file, you could search for "How do i make a tar file on <my OS>".

Maybe I accidentally moved into another universe where XDA developers has become XDA hold my hand though compressing a file and flashing it when it wont even help Developers.

Flashing the modem linked will move you away from a stock configuration so in the end you will have to download and flash a stock firmware combination if you don't want to try out a tool, that cant make your phone any worse, but may just fix it in about 4min (excluding time to root the phone).

I would hope someone who is playing around with a £300~ device would be willing to take the time to understand what what they are doing, and understand how to do the basics, before doing something that much damage or fix there device.

Good luck and have fun.

OR, he can try that tool, and if it hard bricks, he can just use MobileTechVideos.com's services : http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/

It's only $50 USD with free shipping, and it's better than dealing with Samsung and all their PR crap about warranties :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
All that tool does is cp /efs /sdcard then rm the /efs then replace the broken bits with the automatic backup the system makes (nvdata.bin.bk or w.e)

It *cant* make the phone's EFS more dead.

Jtag wont fix EFS, so if you hard brick it, even if they unbrick it, the EFS is still toast, unless they rewrite it which is illegal almost everywhere unless your the OEM (as far as i know). And once you have Jtaged your warranty is defo out the window so yeh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Illegal? :eek: Didn't know that...

Indeed... I don't quite get how that procedure of efs recovery can brick the phone... To hard brick it, you have to kill the Bootloader, so how are you touching the bl when fixing the efs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
If you change the IMEI to that of another phone you can pretend to be it on the network.

So you can steal usage from someone else, or w/e. You get the picture.

Now I know at least one person on here who has the ability and knowhow to rewrite the EFS and fix it, but again, due to legal issues blah blah blah.

And the "it may brick your phone" thing is a general cover your arse when doing something risky. :D
