[Motorola Droid RAZR] spc_hicks09:
All you need is fastboot files, RSD Lite and maybe, the factory cable. Just so everyone knows there are ways to get around everything!

Let's say you messed up your phone and it won't boot up. All you can do is get into fastboot and the bootloader. Problem is, your battery is too low to flash anything. Too easy:

Press and hold the vol down and power button until you see the screen flicker, let go of those buttons and quickly press and hold all 3 buttons on the side (power and both volume buttons). Once in the bootloader, plug in your wall charger. Now hit volume down until you highlight the SBF option and press volume up to select it. Now press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds and release it. Your phone will power down and should begin to charge. Once you get a full charge, repeat the process to get into fastboot, use RSD Lite and the fastboot files, viola!!

It's virtually impossible to hard brick a Moto phone unless there is a hardware issue or the bootloader gets corrupt somehow.

hey...

just bought a bad ESN galaxy nexus from ebay..

planning on using it with tmobile with 4G....after i unlock it by code.

you think that would be possible???

or did i just waste $300 on a new looking bad esn verizon galaxy nexus....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I'm not from America but isn't Verizon cdma and T-Mobile GSM??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] florelui001p:
Your right, the phone won't work completely different networks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burninglava001:
hmmm....i assumed that the phone supported cdma and gsm carriers....it appears that i was wrong....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
No idea what bad ESN means but you can't use a Verizon Nexus on T-Mobiles network. CDMA phone on a GSM network will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
No, pretty sure you hot confused by the penta-band part.

That's just for GSM frequencies.

The Verizon gnex is a different model number too, its the i515 and the GSM is the i9250.

I'm not 100% certain it won't work but I'm 99% certain.

Maybe someone else can second that for me.

Can you sell it on again?

EDIT: I see someone already posted and verified it before I posted this! Me derpsta! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GavinMazey:
Yes a verizon cdma phone will not work on a T-mobile gsm network. They are completely different networks. Now you may be able to flash the phone to work on another cdma carrier like boost or metro pcs. You would need to buy a european gsm version of the galaxy nexus to use it on t-mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Not to pour salt on your wounds or anything, but here in Canada, BNIB Galaxy Nexuses are ~$450. $300 seems a bit high for such a fatal defect in the phone. Maybe this is Canadian pricing as all of our carriers sell the phone.

Hope you can somehow get some money back for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burninglava001:
well i actually sell cellphones for a living and most of the world phones usually come with cdma and gsm bands, i.e alot of blackberries.....i did made a mistake and did'nt read the bands, my mistake....will try an cancel the transaction with the seller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Really? I thought there were very few phones with both, if any.

I know there was one blackberry with GSM and cdma but that's it.

Now after my smartass comment karma has her eye on me..... :)

Damn! I never knew there were that many!

And now I know!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shoman24v:
I doubt you'll get your money back. You should know what you are bidding on, never assume. I mean would you really give someones cash back because they made a mistake? Put it back on ebay and cut your losses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
You'll be lucky if you can resell it for $200-$250 with a bad ESN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rquinn19:
I'd buy it for $200...better than a galaxy player IMHO. There are a bunch of cdma/GSM phones. I have one...Droid 3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsweetness:
Yeah, there are a lot of them. Besides several different Blackberries, off the top of my head, I know that Verizon has had the Touch Pro 2, Droid 2 Global, Droid Pro, Droid 3, Droid Incredible 2, and the iPhone 4S. I know Sprint has also had several CDMA/GSM devices as well.

I really wish Verizon's Galaxy Nexus had been a world phone with GSM capabilities, but it's not. Then it would be absolutely perfect for me. But up until this point, Verizon hasn't released a LTE phone that also has a functioning GSM radio for global use. Some of them (Droid Bionic, Droid Razr) have a GSM radio (one of those CDMA/GSM combo chips), but the GSM portion doesn't actually function. There were some rumors awhile back that the GSM capabilities might possibly be enabled later, but I never saw where things went beyond rumor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Don't you people know better to ask your questions here first before spending your money?

At least the seller was up front about the bad ESN. Now wonder if he was the one who stole the device, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Probably covered already... but no, this will not work. Ever. You bought a paperweight. Could've bought a GSM model for $100-$150 more.

Its amazing that you didn't research before buying, and you spent $300 on a bad ESN phone w/o a plan on what to do with it. A simple 5 minutes on Google would have given you the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alnova1:
There are people that will flash a Verizon Galaxy Nexus to Straight Talks CDMA phone part of their system....and I don't want to get into the whole flashing thing but that could be an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leerpsp:
I need to know how to do that so I can use mine on straight talk that's what I have been wanting to know I won't to use my Verizon nexus on it can you pm me with this info because I need it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leerpsp:
Man then the 1st I will just have a cool MP3 player if I can not pay my bill
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
Incorrect. Straight Talk does both CDMA and GSM. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TracFone_Wireless#Straight_Talk )

CDMA Galaxy Nexus(Sprint/Verizon) can be flashed to any CDMA carrier in the States.. as well as many CDMA carriers around the world. ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27080769 )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leerpsp:
thank you man this is what i was looking for i have been wonting to use my verizon Galaxy Nexus on straight talk and now it looks like i can thank you so much for this now i dont have to buy me a new phone your the best!

i can not belive almost every one on this fourm dont know about this it works and you dont have to give any money to get it done this needs to be posted at the top so every one knows you can do this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
By bad ESN are you referring to a blacklisted phone? IE stolen?

As far as I know, here in Canada, if its blacklisted with one carrier due to being stolen, its blacklisted on every carrier. I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Well at least you got a really cool device to play music on or tinker with.

In all honestly, just sell it and put the money towards the Play Store GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
The Verizon Galaxy Nexus is NOT a "World Phone" like the HTC Rezound and Galaxy S3 that are on Verizon. It has NO GSM radio on it at all. You just bought a very nice Android Wifi Device.

Galaxy Nexus on ST

Hi,

I just finally found this post about using a Verizon Galaxy Nexus on ST and I wanted to find out if you were able to do it. I have been given one by someone else who didn't want to use it anymore, but I can't afford a Verizon plan to use it. Please let me know if you were able to do it and if it's possible to lead me to the tips or way to do it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dogredwing1:
i just recently bought a bad esn gnex for the screen and popped my sim in when it arrived and it got a signal and everthing.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abcwang:
So you are currently just able to use it without any issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alanthemanofchicago:
Not really like that here, GSM phones that are blacklisted can just be unlocked and CDMA devices can be flashed. But AFAIK the fed is working on a unified blacklist system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dogredwing1:
yeah, been using for awhile with zero issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
I feel like 95% of the people in this thread are confusing the ESN and GSM acronyms. I'm positive you will not be able to use the phone on Verizon due to the bad ESN. If you have an upgrade available, you could sell it maybe for around 200 or so as already said, and pick up a new Nexus for one cent on Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Ya, as far as I know it's a unified system here, at least with the big 3 carriers.

So if am IMEI (GSM) or ESN (CDMA) is blacklisted on one, it can't be used anywhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfriend33:
Hmm.. I was under the impression that phones with a bad ESN...there is a way to have them activated after 1 year. I need to speak with my friend. He claimed one time he was able to reactivate a phone on verizon because the bad esn expired after one year. Who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vendetta718:
The reason why the Verizon GNex has a sim card slot is because it has LTE. In order for LTE to function the device has to have an LTE sim which registers its data on the network. Btw that sim slot only supports micro sims. It cannot work with GSM carriers because it doesn't have the radios they use, hardware wise.

Next time ask before spending money on a paper weight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
You best bet would be to flash it to a smaller carrier like if your in the U.S boost mobile, kricket, metro pcs? other than that i dont really know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
Hehe, its been 5 months since this was posted so am sure the OP has already figured out what to do with his bad esn device :) Hopefully no one else has made the same mistake
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardidito:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jhall8:
Ardidito, your first two posts were on 2 year old threads. What's going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
It looks to me that your baseband is showing up as unknown and the assert failed because of that.

I would try flashing back to stock (starting from scratch) in fastboot with the official images from google. http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoninja118:
First I will give you the usual response (not trying to be a douche though lol :p ) : should've put this in Q&A section, should've checked for other threads about this first since I'm sure there are others, look through development section for the appropriate radios thread that will answer your questions, etc. etc...

Now to answer, I'm assuming by "no radio" you mean no functioning signal i.e. no data/sms/calls? if so I'd recommend looking in the development section either here or at Rootzwiki (recommend there first since they have a sticky thread with all current radios/roms) for a flashable zip... if you want to do it a better way I would suggest learning about ADB and Fastboot and doing it through those means, it does require a little bit of computer savvy to set up but is immensely helpful in many ways... also I don't believe the zip you are trying to flash is the correct one, or you may be flashing it wrong... I am on the go on my GNex but can give links if you can't find anything

blazing through on my Nexus Prime via XDA app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
seems to me that the cwm zip you're using is not doing it right. attach that cwm zip for us to look at it, or a link to it.

better yet, use fastboot as suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfoman:
doh sorry for being in the wrong thread.. if a mod can move to Q&A..

thanks for the replies, i was able to get the google roms and update successfully. Here are the versions I was using and commands for anyone else..

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norazi:
thx for posting your solution.. i hate it when people find a solution and abandon the thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Those are commands for GSM images.

So... According to your OP you had flashed a CDMA rom on a GSM device. Then were trying to flash CDMA radios?

That is the reason why you had no service and the .zip file wouldn't flash.

Make sure you flash the correct ROM's the future.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jodic100:
After looking over the specs of the HTC One V, they appear to be almost exact to that of the Nexus one....and that phone ships with both Android 4.0 and Sense 4.0 ... any thoughts on a port to the Nexus one? Would that be possible? Or has anyone heard of this happening already? Just had to ask, as they are so similar.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
First there has to be a dump of the device, which I have not seen.

Second there needs to be space on the phone, that would require a bunch of scripting to be done.

Third problem is images size. Rember all the resizing that was needed to make the icons the correct size for our screen size.

Last comment would be driver and kernel compatibility.

At best the rom would be as stable as our best 3.5 sense ports.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiroken84:
Hey guys. I listen to around 4 to 8 hours of music each day at work on my Galaxy S2 and I'm wondering if anyone knows which music player is best in terms of battery life.

I downloaded winamp and while I like the program it feels like it drains battery faster than the stock player and when I checked the CPU usage was around 16% while playing 448k aac. I understand that the stock player decodes the files via hardware rather than CPU and I was expecting this to be more power efficient. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? The stock player was showing up as near to 0%.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecalou:
Try to use the miui music app. It use 2~3 % of the cpu. I think the user interface is the best on this music player. You can found it at xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500763
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthVesh:
Doubletwist or Winamp

I prefer to use Doubletwist or Winamp. They do use a lot of resources but I find with ICS battery life is offset due to the new batter management system.

*I do use CM9 or some variant so that also might have some benefit as well.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Glonkable:
So, I installed the openOptimus rom on my phone (LG Optimus P500h), and I love it, looks great, awesome battery life, but I've noticed a couple of things aren't working that I would like to get working, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix the problems so I'm hoping you guys can help me.

First problem, appears alarms don't vibrate, I have one particular alarm set to vibrate as it is a daily reminder for medication and I can't always have it make noise. So, if anyone has a fix for getting alarms to vibrate awesome.

Second problem, tethering/wireless hotspot doesn't work right. I turn it on and get error (both USB and Wifi), laptop will still connect to the wireless network (I generally don't use USB because my laptop is incredibly picky and refuses to accept it to begin with) however there won't be internet access, and I can't figure out why. If I go back to the stock rom it worksfine but with this ROM it won't. I've even tried installing with a different kernel and still no go.

Third one was getting apps2sd to work but I found a second option for doing that so I'm going to give that a try and see if it works, if not I'll post a reply for that.

Thanks guys!

Edit: Apps2SD now working. So just alarm and tethering I'd like fixed

Looks like a lot of people are in the same boat here, which is why I'm hesitant to instantly assume its our batteries frying themselves.
