[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadis:
Hi I just brought new nexus s phone from vodaphone Australia.and its network lock.please any one help me or guide me.so I am able to Unlock phone.

Thanks in advanced

i found solution now

unlocking the Bootloader

Warning: Unlocking the Nexus S's bootloader will void the warranty.

If the Bootloader on the Nexus S has already been unlocked, you may skip this section.

You will need fastboot on the computer to unlock the bootloader on the Nexus S. Follow the Android SDK guide, to get the fastboot on the computer.

Power the Nexus S down, and hold Volume Up & the Power button until booted into the bootloader. You should see a white screen with three skating androids.

Connect the Nexus S to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run:

fastboot oem unlock

On the Nexus S, a prompt will open up asking you if you are sure you want to unlock the bootloader and again warning you that doing so will void your warranty. If you agree to these terms, press Volume Up to select Yes, and then press the Power button to confirm.

NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader wipes the device.

The Nexus S will reboot.

Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery Image

If you have already flashed a custom recovery image, skip this section.

Download the latest version of the ClockworkMod Recovery:

ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0: Download

Place the ClockworkMod Recovery Image in the same folder as fastboot (the /tools folder with the Android SDK folder).

Power the Nexus S down, and hold Volume Up & the Power button until booted into the bootloader. You should see a white screen with three skating androids.

Connect the Nexus S to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the Nexus S.

The Nexus S should not be network locked. It may not run on all frequencies (from Voda AU, most likely 850mhz), because it was not made to.

What makes you think it is network locked?

I too have a aus vodafone nexus s. When i unlocked bootloader and rooted it, it was sim unlocked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I've not heard of a single case where the sim was locked on a Vodafone AU Nexus S. A locked phone would tell you the sim card is not compatible, did any error message come up?

Also, try a different sim card from another company.

Hello Guys,

I recently got a new galaxy s 4G, and its branded as T-mobile. 1 problem is that it does not read arabic properly. I used to have such problems with my nexus s but I used to install a zip file in CWM and the problems gets fixed. Can anyone please point me in the right direction of fixing this?

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
Try using the Hebrew ROM. It has Rtl support though I'm not sure about the language pack.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Android Native Arabic Support!

This link above may be the file you flashed in CWM. The developer says it "Support(s) all firmwares and all roms" and he "provided the code to do it manually."

You may want to try it!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnavia:
hello guys. I have two samsung tab 10.1 (4g). My first one updated to 3.2 via kies easily. I have tried on a second tab (same model, using same computer, usb cable etc..), and kies does not detect it. My computer detects it fine (for drag & drop), but kies just says "please disconnect, then reconnect" or something along those lines. I've uninstalled, and used the connection troubleshoot built into kies to no avail. Please help!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealTic:
I am beginning to notice these horizontal lines that run across my screen. They appear in the top left part of the display screen. They run halfway down my screen, and go nearly half way across. They only show themselves on true bright colors, except white. Bright red, Orange, Blue, you name it. They especially show up when I open up the Voltage Control application which has a yellow background. It seems that Voodoo Control has made these lines alot more noticeable. Is this an issue that is normal when using voodoo control, or should I swap this baby out for a new one?

Again, they can only be seen with bright colored backgrounds. Dark backgrounds show no trace of these lines.

No, I run StarksyROM v2 (MTD), and MarcusantROM v3 (MTD). It doesnt really matter what I run, as long as the kernel I use has voodoo control enabled, the lines become very noticeable.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Ok heres the past 12 hours of my phones life. I instalaled Zeus V5 with the ICS theme, I flashed Entropy's latest daily kernel. I was setting up my phone back to what I had it at before I restored it. It was working perfect at about 3:00 AM CST. I plugged it in and went to sleep. When I woke up at about 11:00 AM CST. My phone was off. I assumed it just shut off so I tried turning it on...nothing. I tried the 3 button push and nothing. I then took my battery out and put it back and still nothing. I've tried removing the sd the sim and the battery and then plugging it in. I've tried DL mode in several different ways. I've used different computers, different cables, different wall outlets. No matter what I can't get a single thing to detect this phone and it won't respond to any amount of button pushes...So if anyone can help me fix my phone I will send you either 50 bucks through paypal or a 50 dollar giftcard. Please I'm begging you. Anyone please help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] verticae:
Do you have a different battery you can use? Sounds like it might be the one you have in there.

Instructions:

1) Make sure the drivers for the Infuse 4G are installed (installing Kies is the best way to accomplish this)

2) Download and unzip GTG's_Ultimate_Unbrick.zip

3) Run Odin3 v1.7.exe as administrator

4) Place your phone into download mode (pull battery, replace battery, press and hold both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable)

5) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##

6) Click the PIT button and choose infuse.pit (and make sure Re-Partition is checked)

7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_UCKD5.tar.md5

8) Click the PHONE button and choose PHONE_UCKD5.tar.md5

9) Press Start

Thanks to GTG!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
It has to be your battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Mine did this, but it was when I was messing with different ROM's and kernels, etc. It just plain shut off. Nothing would work, not the 3 button, anything. So I pulled the battery, put it back in and plugged in my jig I bought from Mobile Tech Videos, $8 at the time, and it went into download mode. From there I went to GTG's Ultimate Unbrick, and I was fine. Try it, if you have a jig. If it works, then cool, and you don't owe me a thing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] projectvirtue:
try following the GTG unbrick up above with the odin.

i recall a post a while ago from someone who had bricked their phone and it seemed to be like yours, and one of the responses was that even though the screen didn't show up as download mode, it was still connected and able to odin properly.

when you plugged it into your computer in download mode, did odin pick it up?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
You guys don't pay attention to what you read. He said, Nothing comes up on the screen and he can not put it on DL mode.

I would try getting a battery or if you know someone with an infuse, barrow the battery and see if that works. If that doesn't work, try the Jig. I'm sure with the JIG you will be able to bring back your phone from SOD...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Ok guys, took it to AT&T and the guy tried like 4 new batteries. It is NOT the battery. He doesn't know what's wrong with it but then again I didn't tell them about the ROMS or rooting(duh) there is not physical or water damage at all. Anyone else??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Doesn't go in to DL mode...try again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Based on the description, since it had a functional ROM and died later on not in the middle of a flash:

1) Battery dead as a doornail - I BELIEVE that with certain types of jigs (potentially not the standard one) the device will turn on without a battery so this could be confirmed. If so, you might be able to fix it with a new battery OR topping off the battery in an external charger.

2) Total hardware failure of some sort, highly likely going beyond a brick. (e.g. even if you JTAGed a good bootloader it would still be dead - probably because the bootloader is still good.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
I went to an AT&T store and the guy tried several batteries. How could it be hardware when all it was doing was charging...While I was asleep and not touching it at all.

good luck !!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Like I stated before. Mine did the same thing. Black screen, no power, 3-button didn't work. My jig popped in into download mode, and GTG's unbrick from there. I leanred a long time ago, to always have my jig with me. Love my jig! Thanks MTV! best $8 I ever spent.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
I'm sure you tried this but I actually never use three buttons to get into download mode. I just insert the battery, hold down the two volume buttons and, while holding the buttons, I plug in the usb that's plugged into the computer. Flame me if this is obvious but I didn't see anyone suggest it. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mejori:
hey faux ..how long have you had this phone and how long have you been with ATT?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
JUST MAKING SURE... You have kies installed on your computer right???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Had the phone about 6 months...att for 3 and a half years. IDK what "Jig you're talking about or else I might try it if I can easily get one today and it doesn't have to be shipped. I'd rather not try the unbrickable thing because my phone as of right now is in warranty I'd rather not void it. And yes I did the two button DL mode. Not 3.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Yes I do have it installed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
if you're under warranty, take it back.

Sounds like a harware failure to me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Hmm so what was your method in trying to get into download mode?

With odin open, you tried pulling battery, put back in, plug in while holding volume buttons and seeing if odin sees it? As someone stated, the screen may not turn on, but odin might see it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rocket42:
yup!!! I haven't needed mine yet but got one off ebay ..Just in case..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Sometimes it's a butt to get going Odin.. Different USB ports. The ones in the back generally work best. And in my experience the thicker the cable, the better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rocket42:
This may be a once in a lifetimething but i wonder if possibly there was a power surge last night that killed your phone??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Pull battery, plug in usb with computer turned on. Leave battery out. Try turning phone on.

If phone boots it's the battery otherwise......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
Really! never had that problem before. I have odin many many times and I have never had any issues like some ppl here have had.

unless your phone is bootlooping then its necessary to pull batt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Call ATT device support, they will ask you to do few things, like pull battery put it back etc.. After that they ask you to take it to Device support center. or they will send you a replacement device.

4 days back, my phones speaker stopped working. I called device support, they asked me to do basic things, when I said, it didn't worked, they told that they will send me a replacement device, but it will take 1 week, so i said I will visit a device support center. I went there and I replaced my phone. Now I have a new phone. Try this.

Dont go to ATT show room. Go to device support center,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Yeah. The USB's on my computer are all weird. At some point they just stop accepting devices..... which leaves me like.. wtf Windows?! I love you so dearly.. why do you not like my wireless dongle?? Yeah.. but once I find a good port then it goes and fails. And goes and fails. And goes and fails. I once went through this process 20 times in a night. Maybe more. Got pissed so I left it unplugged for the night, battery out. Came home and then I did it. Work second shot only because I messed it up myself the first time. EEEYEAH.......
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Same experience with the speaker. I got it from Best Buy. Ater a day or two I was like.... wtf? Y U NO SOUNDS SPEAKER! And then.. the lady at Best Buy was like ohh.. I'll fix it. Hmm.. oh wait. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT DOESN'T WORK. And then she gave me a new one. That was one of the three or four phones that I got when I first got infused. Took me 3 or so diffferent tries and finally a different store to get a working one that still works to this day. Good luck at the store. I support you fully. :D I hope that everything gets working for you Faux bro.

EDIT: I second qkster. I would love your money.. but I would rather see it go towards the devs. Maybe split it up because they have all done excellent work on their roms. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Easy - a solder joint might not have been as solid as it should have been, and finally decided to let go. Since you were charging, this can cause thermal stress on the board (more likely to break).

Although others have indicated you might not have been entering download mode the correct way. This has always worked for me:

Remove battery

Reinsert battery

DO NOT HIT POWER

Hold VolUp + VolDn (Note: On some devices it's just VolDn, but not the Infuse)

Insert MicroUSB into the phone (other end of the cable should already be in the PC)

It has always worked for me on the Infuse and GS2. If that fails - as others have suggested, try the jig. If the jig fails AND you've tried multiple batteries, you have dead hardware.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Well... He did say he was running the ENTROPY KERNEL.. And that crazy dev decided to add charging hacks to make it go faster! ;) crazy dev.. I love your kernel! It's my favorite..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
I just hope when I get my replacement I don't have any of the issues above EVER! lol. Sounds annoying :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FauxAffliction:
Yeah, this is the method to enter DL mode I've tried every time and it never works. I want to try the JIG but by the time it takes to deliver to me I'll have already gotten my replacement phone. I tried building one last night but I used an LG charger whose port still fit in my phone and couldn't get dl mode going...oh well I guess. I'll just have to wait. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Alright, good to hear. Problem solved. It's hardware issue.

You're getting a new phone, so it's unbricked.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] gezus_91:
i don't know if you still need input cause i don't feel like reading 4 pages of posts on my infuse but i had the same exact issue last week.here's what did it for me. do the download mod process (volume buttons and plug in cable) even if there is nothing on the screen check odin. if it pops up do the GTG process if it fails switch computers and try again.

Did you try lifting your left leg at the same time? Approximately 13 inches off of the ground, but never more than 14!!!

Heimdall One-click unbrick v1.0.2

look up heimdall one-click unbrick v1.0.2. its somewhere around the forums but i dont feel like looking for it. worked for me when odins werent an option, and i couldnt get into cwm or dlm. just plug your phone in to your computer even if its off (make sure whatever battery thats inserted has power) and click the big button on heimdall. it should reset the phone so that samsung at least comes up, but from there you can get into CWM or DLM.

edit: One-click unbrick is not the same thing as the heimdall one-click back to stock!

i had the same problem with my infuse where i phone wouldnt turn on i tried different cables and different batteries and got no response from the phone so my phone was kinda of weird i removed the sim card only and connected it to my computer while holding the volume keys down it flashed the first time then i tried again and i was able to get it to dowloading mode hope this fixes your phone.

has this already been resolved? if so great if not, then if download mode is unreachable by normal means, i would suggested looking into either buying a USB Jig or making one, if buying one then youu can get one off ebay here, or if you want to buy one off me (i have an extra) send me a pm, or if making one then youll have to search up what to do and such, then using it to enter download mode and use either an odin package or use a package from here to get you where you want
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
There is a working link on the ISET page. It's not entirely obvious.. Buried in the text on the gtg line. Note that this will get you froyo... If you would rather have stock GB, look for the threads from qkster or jscott30 for stock uclb3 with PIT file.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbutt:
I recently tried to install the free Avast Anti-Theft software. This software is free, and the feature set is pretty cool. It installs itself into your system apps so that it can survive a factory reset. However, this aspect of the software doesn't seem to be working. When I try to follow the in-app instructions and install the app via the direct write method, there are no errors and I am told to reboot at the end. When I reboot, the app is not there, and I have to go through the installation again.

I also tried an alternative method of installing via an UPDATE.ZIP file from within recovery. The zip claims to install with no errors in recovery, but again, no sign of the app when I boot.

This app used to be called Theft Aware until Avast bought them out, and the old version installed fine as root on my Hero. I have tried to get answers from the Avast forum, but the guys there seem to be clueless.

Any thoughts? Anyone successfully installed this app as root on their Hero? I am running Floyo 1.2 custom ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivakis:
Are you searching for the correct name? I just installed the app and as far as I can see it disguises itself with a fake name in order not to be detected and removed. You are prompted to choose the name yourself at the beginning of the install guide!
