[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jinfuse:
So I have a Rogers Galaxy Nexus (yakjuux) I'm interested in unlocking the bootloader and then flashing the official yakju build, no custom roms.

I've tried searching but my results are kind of mixed. Is there the following:

X) A step by step to unlocking the bootloader with my current device? (Found: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362957)

1) A step by step to installing the yakju build over top of yakjuux? (Thread link would be wonderful)

2) A step by step guide to re-installing yakjuux for warranty related purposes? (Thread link would be wonderful)

I'm only flashing to yakju for faster OTA updates, not really into custom roms atm. Do I need to be rooted to install yakju or can I just be unlocked?

Any help would be appreciated!

I bought my ATP from Gamestop and it came with a game controller however it is only compatible with a very limited number of games. Is there a 3rd party app that can make the controller compatible with more games or make it usable on the FPSe playstation emulator for android?

So I went to a few stores today that sells att phones. I asked everyone in all 5 of the stores about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, noone even knew about it as if it will be coming out 6 years from now -.- noone knew there was one even coming out let alone the name :/ it kind of makes me sad when the consumer knows more then the sales reps. They should train more in my opinion :) this was just my little experiance for the day just thought I'd share. Anyone else looking forward to the note lte for att?
[General Topics] phzi:
Nobody in a provider store is going to have even a small clue about phones they don't already stock, this should not be a shock. And if you're on xda you're a bit above the typical consumer...

There is basically no benefit in knowing about a phone you don't stock yet from a sales perspective. You can't sell what you don't have.
[General Topics] toxicpaulution:
They should for the consumer :) I really wish I could get hired there and be like "hey guys look at this site it will help you when a consumer comes in " Haha xD
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
In-store reps definitely don't know anything. Most reps aren't like us and simply don't care. I usually come across some reps who give out good information about upcoming devices. These reps are always over the phone as they have quick access to the database. Try calling about a general question, talk to them for a bit, and when you're about to end the conversation, pop the question.
[General Topics] Bush715:
Ive sold phones for five years in three locations. I can tell you most of us know about phones as soon as they are rumors. As someone said earlier if we don't sell it we really don't care. To be honest if someone asked me about the note I would kinda just try to end it fast unless we were doing pre orders as asking me about a phone I cant sell isn't making me commission. If it is slow though I will talk about announced upcoming phones for quite awhile. Also most consumers walk in and say i want android or iphone not asking specifics
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
That's understandable. Wouldn't it be better to actually care and inform a consumer of an upcoming device? By informing them of said device, they might wait for it and pay the $200 with the contract. I understand you want to make some money as well but I guess from a personal standpoint I would help the person that cares as much as I do.
[General Topics] Bush715:
If they are techie I will chat with them build rapport and leave them with a business card and an appointment only if the release isn't months away. The average consumer wants what their friend has and even if a better phone comes out tomorrow won't wait.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
I see now. Well that is just fine with me. :)
[General Topics] Bush715:
Though by far my biggest pet peeve at work is the people who say well I saw this was coming out on _________ tech site and I know all about it where is it. Most of those people end up name dropping xda. Kinda like this "well i frequently read xda and it said this and that and they tend to be just plain wrong. I know most of us on xda aren't like that but when you hear it multiple times a week you tend to want to hull smash something end rant ha
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
Haha yea I understand. I never ask about a device until it's all over the internet and comfirmed by many sources. That's like calling HTC and asking about the rumored Edge.
[General Topics] toxicpaulution:
I even tried bestbuy lol and the guys words were "our phone tech isn't here today he will be here tomorrow from 12-6" I live 40 mins away from anything so its not in my best choice to go back but anywho I go to the same att retailer when I buy my phones. They know me there and come at me quick because I don't just come in to buy a cheap pantech crossover I'm there with cash in hand and buy phones straight up xD so they are always willing to help. When I went in to buy my Sony xperia play 4g I handed her my iPhone to Bluetooth my contacts, she looked at my iPhone and her exact words were "what the F is this" it was running wp7 xD Haha but in all seriousness I think someone should be hired in the certain area. It'd be like hiring me to sell cars or ovens when I know nothing about them, I feel like they just hire anyone :/ I went to buy a computer once and the worker argued for 30 minutes that 512mb was a gigabyte :/ I shook my head and took my business elsewhere :) I just don't understand... sometimes I wish everyone cared about a phone as much as we do... instead of "as long as I can listen to music watch YouTube and look at porn, I don't care what it looks like or what it does" :'( I honestly just want to teach everyone for free so I don't feel so smart and dumb at the same time. :( anyone else feel that way?
[General Topics] Nuenjin:
I agree. I've perused tablets in Best Buy and after engaging the nearest 'team member' for less than 3 minutes, I realize that I know more than they do.

It's the same experience when going to the auto parts store. There are some people who can carry on informed conversation, but 90% are the type who watch fast & furious movies in awe, and know nothing about repair or maintenance or they can only look up part numbers.

Basically, lower your expectations.
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
This is why I get mad when I've tried many times to get a job in those kind of places to no avail because I don't seem to have any big time qualifications to my record yet if I go into any outlet store and begin talking about phones, the sales rep looks at me like I'm making up things or shocked I know anything.
[General Topics] Nuenjin:
I have had similar experience with applying for jobs at auto parts stores. The 'now hiring' sign is displayed for several months and the staff changes about every 3 weeks, but I never get called. For a while there was an older woman who not only knew nothing about cars but she also needed help to use the computer program to look up parts.

I finally realized that these people will work for less money than I will because I actually know what I am doing. It really is sad that people with any level of technical or mechanical ability don't actually work at the retail level because they can't get enough money.

And don't get me started on the people who work at Home Depot . .

I have no past work experiance. I'm 19 years old have been the "bad" kid because I used to be a "black magic" hacker I've gotten introuble from schools best buys and targets because of it but now I'm past all that I do phones tablets anything mobile. There is never a time when I'm in best buy that I'm back in the computer/phone area and usually an older citizen is talking to a sales Rep about which one is better and the sales Rep says well product A is $1299 with 4gb ram touchscreen is way better then product B $899 8gb ram and so on but they go by the price as the sales Rep was walking her to the register I kindly walked up and said "hello ma'am I noticed you were interested in two different so-so" the sales Rep called the manager and had me kicked out for costing him the sale xD but they wont hire me? I have long hair and look like a "druggie" I don't do drugs don't have tattoos or metal on my body but yet they hire people who are clueless :(
[General Topics] fleurdelisxliv:
i have to say i agree not many of the people in the stores even know about the phones they have in front of them much less whats coming out.
[General Topics] Nuenjin:
I don't mean to overstep the rules of polite conversation but you may wish to think about your image. It isn't fair that we judge based on looks, but it happens.

*Edit - When I say looks I also means assumptions that people will make of others based on their prejudices. -*End Edit

Most recently, I applied for a job repairing projectors. During the interview they kept asking me about how well I would transition to an office environment. Completely Ridiculous! I would be working in the workshop not the office and I happened to be better dressed than any of my interviewers.

Basically, some people cannot see past their little world or people they can understand.

Man Verizon store by me they don't know anything. And they are jerks as well. Went to upgrade my moms phone and said she wouldn't get unlimited data with her Droid 3 so I just bought it from newegg called up and boom she got her unlimited data.

Couldn't agree more, at least that way they'll be able to list advantages of the phone they're trying to sell you over it's competitors, thus increasing the likelihood of a sale, which means more money for them!

I just pulled up the review for the bestbuy i used to visit... 2.2/5 wtf Haha they are rude I only like the one sales Rep he's been working there forever looks like a D&D kind of guy so we relate xD but he's super nice but then their are the homosexuals that work there in the phone department that were hitting on me and its just not a customer based place for me its like a zoo..then when you ask the reps for help and they say they are busy ALL the time -.-

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I recently got another MT4G and went through the whole downgrading to froyo and rooting process. Its now has CM7 and the latest Clockwork recovery on it. While I was on froyo I forgot to Sim unlock the phone. What will I have to do to Sim unlock now that im back on 2.3.7? Do I have to downgrade again for the gfree unlock method to work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnbrwn62:
Easy option: Call TMo and get unlock code by giving your IEMI. They will email it to you within a week.

Hard option: You guessed it, you have to downgrade.

Errr if you posted this 2days ago I would have gave you all you needed. Since I cleaned my MediaFire account and deleted master S2.2.1FY backup. Which included all you needed to root.

Best advice I can give you now is do a full nandroid backup of 2.3.7GB and do total system wipe. Then download stock nandroid backup if any is still valid in Dec sec due to file sharing sites restricting public download. Then just gfree unlock it and once verified then do wipe again and restore 2.3.7GB nandroid. If you had my backup it would take 2min max to finish it :O now it might take you 10min or so max.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I need the unlock soon so my better option would be to do it myself with a downgrade. Does it just have to be a froyo rom or does it have to be a stock restore that will change my recovery and everything back to stock?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alnbrwn62:
Most of the eMMc write protection exploits for our device works on 2.2.1FY. You can keep your current CWMR as that will save your life after unlock is done with simple nandroid 2.3.7GB restore. But answer is no to reverting stock recovery.img as it plays no roll.

1) Find and download stock SFY2.2.1-nandroid, gfree, VISIONary+.

2) Nandroid backup current GB2.3.7GB, do system wipe + format /system. Then restore stock Sense2.2.1FY nandroid.

3) Load into 2.2.1 and just do simunlock flag and verify it worked on bootloader.

4) Once again do total system wipe + format /system. Then restore GB2.3.7-nandroid.

NOTE: You might also want to download basic file manager + terminal. As on stock you won't have it installed. So adb install it and make sure from settings untrusted source is enabled.

Thank you sir!

I downloaded the PD15IMG from this link here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

It loaded me up to the stock room and kept my S-Off but I lost root.

I then used visionary to root the rom again with no problems and then I was able to proceed with unlocking through g-free.

OK SO IVE DONE THE STEPS IN THREAD..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374

LIKE 3 TIMES BUT WHEN I DO STEPS TO INSTALL ROM..

Installation:

- Upload zip file to your /sdcard

- Reboot to recovery (CWM)

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe cache

- Go to mount storage and mount /system

- Go back to previous menu

- Install from zip from sdcard

- choose zip from sdcard

- reboot it will take a few minutes for first boot to complete

I DO NOT GET THESE OPTIONS WHEN IM IN RECOVERY..

What did i do wrong???HELP:(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
You have the standard recovery. If you're on Froyo and you followed the steps in that post, then when you boot into 3E recovery (yellow letters) go to "Reinstall packages" (I think...something similar). When you do that, it'll come back up into CWM.

I've seen a lot of threads lately about not being about the mount the sdcard. I don't know off-hand what the fix is, though. The best thing I can suggest is to search the forums for "can't mount sdcard" and see if you can find a fix.

So here's the deal. Flash my gnex with the file provided according to this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394051

Now the thread specifically say "NO WIPE". But every time I flash using ODIN its wipes everything on my phone. And yes I have followed instructions to the T. My phone is unlocked and all options that are supposed to be are unchecked/checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If your bootloader is locked, ODIN will wipe. Just unlock your bootloader and be done with it. See link in my signature on how to flash a ROM using fastboot instead of ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Yeah. What's up with this wave of modders buying a Galaxy Nexus, wanting to do custom firmwares/ROMs, mods, etc and then out of the blue they are afraid of unlocking their bootloader?

It makes no bloody sense at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
ODIN flashes always wipe, easier to use fastboot to flash the stock images
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Only with repartition set.

You can flash kernels, radios etc without wiping just fine. Or at least that used to work fine on my SGS1.

That said, I agree about fastboot being a on overall better tool for most tasks. I see no reason to use Odin if you can do the same thing via fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gmony01:
Agreed. But like I said my boot loader/phone is unlocked. I don't mind fast boot was just wondering why this wipe the whole phone when it say it doesn't.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Well after waiting what seems like forever for ICS I just finally bit the bullet and bought a Galaxy Nexus. I can say without a doubt that I will NEVER buy a branded phone again.

Its so awesome having a factory unlocked device that comes with ALL original accessories and NO bloatware crap, in the intended packaging. Jeez. I was really disappointed with what ATT did to the sgs2. Also I hate how the resale of US phones are CRAP. I was having a great time taking care of and flipping my iPhones every year. Boy was I surprised when I came to Android. With an international, hard to come by phone like the Nexus, resale will stay high until I want to upgrade to something better.

I am totally happy with my purchase so far. The phone really is great and the build quality and design is superior to the sgs2. The screen is really excellent despite all the negativity I read about the pentile display. Yes ICS is the majority of the reason the phone is so great, but I would still chose it over the sgs2.

Good luck to you guys, hopefully an official ICS leak comes out soon because you really are missing out on a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
This came out sounding like a brag thread when in reality I am just suggesting that you guys consider importing international phones. They are the real deal and updates come 6 months before US, fake, counterparts.

Sick of being a slave to crappy carriers.

Goooooood luck! :)

I calm down myself ...s3 is out there one day beating nexus :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
But do you see how this works?

When sgs3 gets announced I will sell my Nexus here in the US for top dollar and import the sgs3 and have it 6 months before anyone in the US. It will also be factory unlocked and hold a way higher value than the US versions AND ill get Google updates 6 months sooner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pfriederichs:
No offence but this post makes you sound like a complete idiot. You provide no specifics other then its cool??

Oh? No one in the US will want an international Nexus that they can grab on Craigslist VS ordering the sgs3 for 150+ more over seas?

Boy not only can you not spell, you're also terrible at math.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Because it will be 150 more and they have to order from over seas and deal with all that. A lot of people are impatient and want something they can get locally.
