Guess I didn't check how often people post here

I imagine that the binaries I mentioned are probably incorporated into the system image(s) and that the purpose of the binaries is for development.

Why try and prove something when you can take an educated guess hey?

Am I talking to myself? Why, yes I think I just might be. Somebody else might tell me that's an early sign of insanity.

Adb driver configuration questionable, sort of know what I am doing, overtired, spent almost two days preparing to flash. 8:36pm.

Time to take a leap of faith. I guess I will be back if I make a meal of it.

Thanks anyway..

What's the best way to backup the SD card? Connect in MTP mode and use windows explorer to copy everything to some directory?

To restore the SD card, just copy from that directory back to the phone?

Will doing the adb backup and the SD card backup, then restoring after wiping, lose any data or settings?

quick question

is there a 4.2 rom or kernel or whatever that i can overclock and undervolt my phone?

i have the verizon nexus and installed the pure android 4.2 rom. it runs great. but i cant overclock it and one of my friends has a aokp rom i believe that is still 4.1 but he can overclock it to like 1.6 or so. i would love to know if there is a clean stock-ish rom that doesnt have any fancy launcher or anything that i could overclock to beat him but still have 4.2. any help is great but if there isnt one its no prob.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Macguyver:
Eclipse build 4 is still 4.1 based but has the 4.2 camera and keyboard and is overclockable. Nitro is also working on a 4.2 build right now that should be out in the next few days.

Thanks Effrant

Many thanks for getting me through my first ROM flash. You can make that two now.

I only got my first android phone in August (I think). To tell you the truth being a bit of a nerd at heart I have really grown fond of it and of the whole android community and experience. It is great that your average Joe (not me, my name is not Joe) is able to become integral in the development of an operating system with such potential.

I read and chatted to a friend who has IT experience for a few months before I decided to try and mod the phone. Considering I hadn't paid for it yet it seemed wise. So far I have had few troubles using adb. Except I would say that the fastboot adb driver installation guide doesn't seem to suit Vista (Service Pack2). Device manager quite often gave different names for the device than your guide (or the guide you referred to) suggested.

I did, however come to the conclusion (educated guess) that my drivers were configured. From a new users perspective, your guides were perfectly clear and easy to follow, except for the driver installation. But I wont hold that against you. : )

Anyway, thanks for answering me, and for the guides which have got me having plenty of fun with my new phone. I had only ever had a phone with buttons before so I am in seventh heaven. Give me a few of these things with more memory and I can throw away my laptops.

Many thanks

so im running the aliendroid v1 rom. and i have the 4.2 camera app which lacks the ability to use the power button to take pictures. is there anyway i can add this mod to the rom. and also if i copied a different camera app from a nandroid. would i lose the 4.2 camera app entirely?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymujtaba:
Hi, sorry if this has already been asked, but I used the toolkit to flash cwm and then get paranoid android's ROM on my GNex, now I wanted to go back to my stock ROM that I had backed up, but when I do attempt to restore it, it gives the md5 mismatch error. There's a detailed guide here on how to get rid on it, but when I follow it, the SDK Manager simply doesnt launch and cmd prompt tells me adb is not a recognized path. What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharp_shooter_ace:
Thanks

Love the write up. being i'm a new one to the nexus. just want to say thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Twitch043:
I'm definitely having issues with this.

I get to the point where I type "fastboot oem unlock," and it is stuck on <waiting for device>,

When I open up the Device Manager, my phone is listed under Android Phone, and says SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface. However, it has a yellow triangle and says "The device cannot start. (code 10)" I've tried installing the drivers from Samsung's website (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW), and the universal naked drivers that're here on the website (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379875). I saw the post here earlier in the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529058&page=25

This person had the same problem that I did. However, the one person who replied's advice doesn't work. When I try to update the driver again manually it just doesn't work. The same thing happens. I'm getting really irritated; I want to root my phone, but I seem to be the only one having this problem =/

I apologize for any important information I left out. Let me know and I'll tell you what you need to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Definitely a driver issue.

Check the write-up about naked drivers...

Don't use the toolkit. This tutorial is for big boys who solve their own problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Ah...a fresh breath of air.

All sections of the guide updated (slightly, really) to be up-to-date for 4.2...and minimized my need for future updates.

Also some minor clean-up and notes about restoration fixed for newest Titanium Backup and CWM Versions.

(Yes, it will still all work on 4.0/4.1/etc.)

Definitely been putting that off for too long <_<

Reaction on [GNex TOOLKIT V10.0] thread

since i don't have enough rights to post in the develop thread I would like to post this here, hopefully it gets to the right persons:

[GNex TOOLKIT V10.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash, Mods + MORE [GSM]

As an reaction on Mskip, Mark's post:

I have exact the same problem and this is my info:

I have the stock recovery and stock image and installed the 4.2 OTA update on my (rooted) JOP40C Yakju/Maguro Nexus.

I had used the toolkit previously to root my phone using Superuser.

Once I installed the OTA I tried using the (10.0) toolkit to root the phone selected no on the insecure boot image and went on with SuperSU.

This gave me the SuperSU icon in the app tray, but no root.

Opening SuperSU told me it needed to update the binary which subsequently failed each time.

i have a question , just got my nexus one week back and i am planning to read whatever i can and then root it. what if during rooting or unlocking , it get stcuk somewhere. casn we just pull the battery and restart it.

OTA update for stock image already flashed

Hello,

Hope somebody can let me know if it is odd I should get an OTA update on my GSM maguro Nexus to update to 4.2 when I already have this image flashed. I just figured that when looking for updates the update manager would check my build and version and then respond accordingly.

I admit Virgin would be right on the money giving me this update had I not flashed stock 4.2 myself as I was on 4.1.2 before I moved to 4.2. But I did change builds, from yakju to takju. I am concerned Virgin may question the build changes. If someone can give me a quick rundown on how the OTA's assess when and if you are ready for a particular update I would be pleased

Thankyou

Well, my USB port stopped working, so I tried this... but all I get now is the first "Google" screen indefinitely.

USB is non-op.

I can boot into fastboot (not helpful without USB AFAIK).

I can boot into Odin Mode (not helpful without USB AFAIK).

I cannot start CWM Recovery from fastboot any more.

Is there anything else I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
First of all, great guide :)

Second, I should be getting a GSM Nexus and I have a simple question:

-Can I use TWRP or CWM to install EVERY ROM on the forum? Or are there any differences between these 2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
Could someone please answer me? I know this is a noob question, that's obvious, but this is my first native Android phone (had an HTC HD before) and I'm not sure of this because some ROM devs recommend TWRP, others CWM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It's personally preference. Try them both and see which one you like. TWRP has more features, but is strictly touch-based. CWM has less features, but comes in both touch and non-touch variants.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
First of all, thank you for your answer :)

Secondly, then why do devs recommend TWRP or CWM to install their ROMs sometimes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you love Mercedes, would you recommend to others to buy BWM or Mercedes? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Macguyver:
To add to that, the biggest difference I've noticed is TWRP is noticeably faster.

Nevermind
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schueyisking:
this is whats so annoying about all these sites.

for a n00b, this information is virtually useless. Where do you enter this code. How? On what device?

This is exactly the reason why you'll get hundreds of people on here, like me, asking the same questions, asking for guides, asking for help. Nothing is ever ever explained step by step, key by key. When I finally find out how to actually install custom roms, i swear im gona do a proper job of documenting it properly, putting it on youtube, in a full proper step by step keystroke by keystroke button by button guide.

This guide is hilarious. It goes straight into code typing, doesnt tell you where, what program, nothing. As a guide for someone who has never rooted a phone, or installed a custom ROM before, it is totally 100% useless.

EDIT - oh it says in command prompt. Fine. I'll continue to follow, i bet i dont get far.

No Factory Reset after Unlocking the Bootloader

I just unlocked my boot loader and when I tried to do the factory reset through the default recovery it rebooted. When the phone booted the unlocked symbol was shown and the phone just loaded like normal and I had all of my data as if a factory reset didn't happen.

I eventually factory reset to be safe though.

Does anyone know how this could happen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slyd0997:
Go check out the QBKing77 YouTube videos. They are a great way to get you familiar with the language and the process. He takes you thru it step by step, then this guide will make more sense. Hang in there. This is really a very good guide.

New to Verizon Galaxy Nexus- Having Rooting Issues

Hi Everyone,

I hope that someone can help me. I'm new to rooting the nexus. I have now tried to root the phone 3 times. I do have super user installed, but when I go into fastboot, and then into recovery mode I'm unable to get access to the CWM menu screen to install the ROM that I want to try.

What I get on my phone's screen is a picture of the android laying on his back with his chest open, and a red explanation mark inside of a triangle.

It someone can please let me know what I need to do next in order to move forward with installing ROM's that would be great.

Thank you,

Aaron
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Flash CWM and then flash the ROM immediately afterwards.

Stock android (as explained in post 1; there is a workaround) has a script to re-write custom recoveries with the stock one (which is what you're seeing) on each boot.

All custom roms remove this script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gameg2l:
I just got myself the GNex like 2 days before, and have not let it off my hands since. I have to admit, coming from HTC HD2, this thing is noticeably smoother.

But, I might have been spoiled by all the great dev for HD2 roms and kernels... Battery drain on my GNex is CRAZY! I mean, on idle, I'd get like -40mA drain at minimum! On my HD2, I'd only get like 2mA drain- I'm using these 2 phones the same way! I'm talking about Idle, so the screen should not be the difference here (it's off)...

Is >-40mA drain what I have to live with from now on? I'm using Paranoidandroid+Leankernel ... which should have pretty good battery life (it's got pretty good screen on battery life), tried Franco, didn't work out as well.

Anyone has any inputs?

Hello!

I have a question regarding ROM flashing - If I have a certain ROM, and a new update appears - What should I do ( So that I keep my apps/accounts etc. ) ?

Clean dalvik cache, cache partition and flash the ROM ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
It depends on what your ROM developer says. If he/she calls for a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, and system), you're going to need to use TiBu to backup and restore your current apps and their data to your sd card. If your developer says dirty flashing is fine, then just wipe the appropriate things, and flash your ROM and Gapps.

You should really ask this in your ROM thread though, because every developer and ROM is different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shardzmi:
I see, thanks for the reply!

Indeed, now it all makes sense. The dev states clearly that dirty flashing is fine :)

Dear Team XDA and Team Paranoid Android

I need some help please! I tried to update my ROM from Paranoid 2.54 to 2.99 (3.0) but something has gone wrong. I don’t quite understand what I am doing wrong. I made my nandroids. Downladed the ROM and Gapps via Goo Manager, followed the instructions on page 1,

After flashing the ROM I rebooted – all is normal so far… then when the phone gets past the boot screen it keeps saying the Force Close message “unfortunately the process com.google.gapps has stopped” followed by the Force Close message “unfortunately, the setup wizard has stopped”

I then powered off and booted into recovery. When I went to reflash the zips I noticed that I have 3 new folders

0/

legacy/

obb/

I have tried to restore my nandroid but it says “couldn’t open directory, No files found”

I have tried to get into ADB and try and use my rank amateur knowledge to try and pull the data. Unfortunately when I type “adb devices” the next line is blank.

Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed?

i can see all of my files in 0/ but have no idea how to restore or access them!

I would really appreciate any help to fix this! Its gone past 2am here in London UK and I have work in the morning. I am hoping to fix this ASAP!!

Thank you Jubakuba!

Sorry

it has taken me so long to reply to you - i work 12 hour days + an hours travel to work and then another hour travel back home. by the time i get home i just eat and sleep.

i have been using a dumb phone more or less all week and have now managed to solve the problem thanks to your help! THANK YOU!!

one last question before i call it a night and get some sleep: i would like to purge all my data on my phone, what would be the best way to do this, and if i did this, would i lose root?

is rooting the same process in 4.1.2 and 4.2.2? i think i read somewhere on XDA that 4.2.2 you have to update something in order to use adb again, but am unsure at the moment - my mind is not really fresh and i am a bit foggy.

would i have to push the ROM onto device to reflash it? or can i drag and drop via windows? i have managed to pull all my data via adb already (damn that took a long time!)

i am hoping i am making some sense but if not i will edit/clear up anything that wasn't understandable tomorrow

after i wake

.

Thank you once again.

I'm in the middle of doing this. I've just unlocked it. When it comes to picking the CWM I presume I pick GSM because I'm in the UK? Obviously we don't have Sprint/Verzion.

First time rooting without a one click root option like my current phone has. (Desire HD). Once I root this one it'll be my new phone!
