I was just browsing through all of the other unbrickable mods, thats really impressive :) you are phone god.

I remember reading that and seeing the pictures of the nexus bootloader on your captivate, it was a few months ago and that is when the idea of wp7 on android hit me haha...

Installing custom bootloaders and such on these phones seems like a ton of hard work, which could end up not working.. This is still a great tool for resurrecting bricked devices, thanks much :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Cuxx:
Will it also work with the i9023? Or just the i9020?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolfranz:
Awesome!

I also like, that you are still developing for this "old" device, altough you already have SGS2. :D
[Nexus S Android Development] random1234:
If we got Windows Phone or iOS running on this phone, it would be amazing. How was Windows Phone on the HD2 completed? Would it be a similar process now that we have this?

RE

Hi Adam, I made a bad flash bootloader I put in my Nexus S 4G a Bootloader.img of korean version. Now I'm not root and my USB can't set connection. All things are working less USB and CDMA radio. I can start in fastboot mode and download mode but the usb connection is broken. I tried to follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1566475 but when I opened my nexus s 4G the electronics things was in different side. I made a USB to UART converter and I could see a linux debugger and a state console and sent me a message such as: The bootloader are not ready to start a USB connection. As I have a Android 4.0.4 working now I'm waiting a Jelly Bean Updated to patch a new Bootloader image. What do you recommend me to fix it?
[Nexus S Android Development] bubu782001:
Can this mod unbrick an already bricked device (Nexus S) ?

It is not identified by USB, no boot, no nothing (recovery mod does not working).
[Nexus S Android Development] bubu782001:
I can only get into downloading mode BUT ONLY if i select Galay S.

The phone it is "seen" by ODIN, but the main problem on ODIN is that its ask for PIT file.

[Nexus S Android Development] VictoriousShooter:
I know.that this thread is as old as dirt, but does this work for the Nexus S 4G (d720)? Or just the GSM?
[Nexus S Android Development] dddbbb:
Hi, I have a question regarding the mod, that I will perform as soon as I find the right person with the right equipment:

from this picture http://i43.tinypic.com/23k8zzs.jpg and the explanation in the first post

the two operations to perform are pretty clear.

---

But I cannot understand what does it mean the first phrase of point 2

Just for my knowledge:

a) is this an alternative way to get the same result?

b) are there any reasons to prefer one way rather than the other?

c) could somebody specify which is the "top position" and "bottom position"?

thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] wickid_d:
I'm getting ready to perform this mod myself as my i9020a just bricked a few days ago.. AND, [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION], I'm wondering the same things.. and..

I'm also wondering if this will work for d720 as I have one of those as well, and would like to do the mod as a preventative measure on that one, and I'm also (I know, redundant, lol) actually wondering if this same mod will work on my i9020a as the hardware appears to be exactly the same..

Thanks for all the help, in advance, Adam! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] KenEmerenciana:
sir adam, will this mod work with an m200 korean nexus s ? i recently bricked it by pulling out the battery while booting down,

i installed ubuntu, java but it just can't detect my phone, i know that i have to do the mod but i read in the other that this mod is not working with m200 variants, please help me sir adam to fix my phone :(
[Nexus S Android Development] wickid_d:
It's my understanding, and after some research, that if you had the right knowledge, you could apply this to any phone with a similar set up in hardware, but Adam's direct instructions are for the phones in the op. This is an i9020t and i9020a fix. D720 (and probably M200 as well) have different resistor and wiring layouts. You would have to do the math, be able to draw up a schematic for the area (for a guide) that you're working on, and know the trigger points of the pre-processing to boot into dev mode. This is all VERY low-level stuff, but if you have the time to spare and a steady hand, you could do this, by researching the programing specs on the chips, which is what it sounds like Adam has done.

Hope this helps, even if it's not much of a help..

One last note, D720's and M200's are going fairly cheap on eBay atm. S3's have come down considerably in price as well, if you decide to give up on the NS, which after 3 years of being an owner of 3 different 9020s and 2 different 720s.. I'm sorry to say, I'm about at that point..

I'm putting more focus into my tablet these days (Transformer Prime), as it is, after discovering OnLive.. Lol

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

Adam, can you please explain the "top" and "bottom" positions? That sounds like it would be the easier way to go, as I attempted the latter fix, and due to a hot iron, knocked off the resistor that was supposed to be just jumpered. Thanks man!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
Even after doing a factory reset....and after wiping every time of cache i could in recovery...my internal storage is still stuffed with stuff from the stock when my i first got the device. How do i

actually

perform a wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Why don't you just go into Settings -> Storage -> Format? Or just delete everything with your computer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
There's no option to format the internal storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
As well, wiping the internal storage may be possible through the stock ROM under settings-> storage....but i was working with codename android. I tried the "Erase Tablet" under Settings->Backup and Restore-> Factory Reset-> Wipe all personal information.

However, after restarting, nothing was deleted.

I'm going to flash the stock ROM and try to look for a format option under Settings->Storage, and i'll try doing a factory reset under settings-> Privacy.

If that doesn't work, i'll have to reflash Revolver 4 beta, and try to look in the settings there.

But as far as trying to delete everything from a computer, idk if i have to have USB debugging enabled, or some settings switched, because browsing the contents of the internal storage over USB doesn't even show all of the folders.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
if you have a SBK1 devics you can use NVFlash that wipes everything and repartitions it and i believe there is a superwipe script in the arhd thread that wipes internal storage
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
Will this wipe CWM as well? Was hoping this wouldn't be too complicated. This will be a joke if i have to redo EVERYTHING.

I really just wanna wipe the internal storage and then flash a ROM from my sdcard.

So if things do work out like i want them to, I can just use the ICS Nvflash and things will be wiped?

Or will this be convoluted---as in i'll have to use the script, install ARHD (which is honeycomb right?) install CWM, rewipe (at which point i'll have some crap from ARHD in my internal storage...grr), and then, finally, install my ROM?

BTW, i have a B70 transformer that was rootable via the one-click live CD. I assume that means i have a SBK1.

I can remove my MicroSD during this, amirite?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
C'mon asus, this is such a basic feature.

If i recall correctly, wasn't there a feature in settings, that if you entered your pattern or password incorrectly a certain number of times, your data would be wiped? If this wipes ALL personal information, that feature would be really handy right now.

Download the super wipe. Then use the recovery to run it. It will handle all things internal. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horndroid:
Not sure which CWM you are using but in Rogue XM Recovery, there's an option to format /sdcard under Mounts and Storage. IIRC the regular CWM has that option too. There is also an option to partition the SD card under Advanced.

You can also use the the superwipe(full version) script to delete everything on internal storage. No it doesn't remove CWM.

what is this one click live cd rooting? Some sort of linux live cd? Why didn't you just use ViperMod?

How did you come to the assumption that you have a SBK1? Did the author of the rooting method specifically say it only works for SBK1 devices?

FROM THE MODERATOR . . . Watch the use of profanity... please use respectful language in this forum--- THX
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
The One-Click live CD was in it's prime during intitial release. ASUS changed the bootloader encryption key during the second half of B70* production. Before the second encryption key was released, B70*+ users were in limbo.

I came to that conclusion because i had no issue rooting and installing CWM with the first batch of tools, while others, who had devices with serial numbers in the second half of the B70* spectrum did. So yes, there is a method to my madness.

And i used the Live CD One-Click method because i was rusty with a CMD prompt. To each his own. It rooted, partitioned, and installed CWM.

I might add...this was my first Android device, and it was certainly my first time lurking around root. It was perfect for someone with a limited knowledge of android and Linux (at the time).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
Thanks! I might as well give ARHD a try while im at it! Will report back!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horndroid:
Oh I see. Yes you are right about having sbk1.

Not sure which version of CWM comes with it but it should have an option to format sdcard like I said earlier. I know this because I used that option to delete everything before flashing ICS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
The Super-Wipe script worked perfectly for deleting the data, but the ARHD thread says that it reformats the partitions as EXT4. i installed ARHD after using the super wipe script and during the restore (Google's cloud restore), iI immediately got swamped with Google Play Store errors- Error 403 every time it tried to install an app.

Codename Android installed, restored, and ran fine...including app installation, so im not sure what was the problem, but i have a feeling it has to do with the file system change. If this is true, be aware. The script may function well, but its also possible you'll end up having to reformat anyways to change the filesystem back. Ill post this as well in the proper thread...but i thinks it's also relevant to this discussion.

I suppose XDA and Android have led me to my next topic of research--filesystem usage in Android with stock and custom ROMs.

To All, Let's get clear what kind of bounty thread is acceptable and what is not :

A bounty thread that is posted for anyone to claim should they solve a problem or provide a fix is Acceptable.

A bounty thread like this which is to provide a person money or specific team money...etc IS NOT ACCEPTABLE........

THEREFORE...... THIS IS CLOSED AND DO NOT POST A BOUNTY LIKE THIS AGAIN......

THANK YOU ••• MODERATORS

I used the T989 (S2 for T-Mobile) before switching to the note and I must say that his guy is one of a kind and would be a great asset to the i717 dev community.

His T988 ROM (Darkside) is very popular as well as his kernel (Darkside Kernel). Used by 7+ different roms.

I managed to talk to him via PM about helping us out and would contribute if only he had the device.

I will be collecting the funds on his behalf and paying the rest needed for the device within a week or two tops so he can start developing :cool:

He's a great guy so please let's not piss him off with ETAs and unnecessary requests.

Lets set our goal at $750 for a new one from Bestbuy or $550 used from craigslist/ebay.

I'll start the bounty with $50 and will pay for the rest for a device after two weeks tops.

This is going to be interesting to see how many people respond.. This is bounty is legit. I honestly never do bounty threads because i seen a lot of them bust. @djxcee convinced me to help you guys out and I am willing to contribute whatever I can..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
First off, no disrespect for you in this post, thederekjay, don't know your work, I'm sure you're great. ;)

But OP, your thread title is disrespectful to the devs working on the Note today. Just because you have a favorite dev/rom on another phone/etc, doesn't mean you should post with that sort of slant. Devs are taking enough crap here lately for no reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] djxcee:
didn't mean to disrespect anyone but I changed the title to be a bit more board.

Hope its fine now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JaZart:
I HIGHLY recommend donating to this guy.

He has created some amazing roms/kernels/tools for the t989.

I know people in the t989 forum would get this phone just because he's deving for it.(which may not be a good thing based on how things turned out)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Master&Slave™:
Good luck...I had a troll get the bounty someone set for me, deleted...

TDJ...Nice to see u still at it

Honestly goodluck where ever u go man.

buy him a device regardless of how $$ you receive ?

add myname to the list .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
i can vouch for that dev .. His work is incredible i had a t-mobile galaxy s2...I used his roms over on SGH-T989 board....i will donate in a couple days for sure...this is great we do need more development here. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Master&Slave™:
It doesnt matter how the money is received IMO. As long as donations are for a good cause (Hence Getting TDJ here) then it shouldnt be a problem. People get burned everyday with money, people donate to even "greater real world causes" and get burned, its the way it is, not saying that thats how it should be.

I had no intentions on development for this phone until yesterday night when a few guys insisted that they wanted me to dev for it. They started a bounty the same as this one. I didnt have anything to do with what happened to you all with these other guys that came in and did nothing "per say", so it was not fair at all for my thread to get deleted, nor trolled. I thought the rules were "A dev couldnt ask for money to get his/her a device"

But anyways, im donating 10$ to TDJ Because he is loyal and he works very hard, i have much respect for the man. His Rom was very great, not to mention I even used his kernel and advertised his super wipe script in both of my ROM threads.

:D

Last time im gonna be here...Good luck TDJ

No need to add my name to the list. I just want this phone in more dev's hands. This is by far the best phone I have ever had and we need more dev's on this platform.

[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
Been running Clean GB BML rom (latest version) since it came out and haven't had any problems. Battery has been decent (not grand but not bad), and its been pretty snappy.

All of a sudden this morning i take my phone off the charger, as I do every day, and the battery meter is basically just counting down and draining. The phone lasts about 2 hours and its practically dead. I charge it up at work and again the battery is draining like crazy. I popped the battery out and cleared battery stats, no luck at all. Battery is smoking hot too.

So in an effort to hold on to juice, i fire up juice defender. This of course helps some, but still draining. And then it starts getting VERY laggy. A text comes in and the screen won't rotate for 10 seconds after popping out the keyboard and things like that.

I haven't installed any new apps in the last few days. I really haven't done anything unusual or different than I normally do.

Any ideas what might be wrong? Battery gone bad over night? Phone is actually dying?

I'd rather not have to flash a new rom, but of course if i have to i will.

help! lol

[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I had this issue, except for me, it started to last 6 hours, then in December lasted for 2 hours, and before new years it lasted 30 mins. I went ahead and ordered an Epic Touch 4G battery and it's back to the norm of 12- 1 day battery. Do try Marcusant's advice, but if you ask ME, as surprising as it may be, batteries don't last forever and it sounds a lot like what was wrong with mine. They're made to last about a year or two. Buying a new battery won't hurt, and if its fixed with Marcusant's advice, having a spare will only help for when it does eventually die.
[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
Thanks. I think I will go ahead and get a new battery. I get a free one from best buy black tie anyways. It can't hurt.

[Epic 4G General] goblue30093:
Well ready for a crazy unexplained answer. The phone seems to be working just fine today. Really really strange yesterday. I'm still going to get that new battery since I get a free one from BB anyways.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
My crappy chinese battery that I bought on ebay a year ago is dieing on me, the phone just shuts off randomly. I don't mean shuts down from low battery, I mean literally the screen goes black and it won't turn back on until I pop in my other battery. Kind of annoying, especially when it says I have like ~60% left
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
That use to happen to me on my bad oem after I kept trying to turn it on past the 30 mins. Also another good indicator of a battery not holding charge is if you notice its got juice, and when it "dies" on you, it claims to have none, then it magically charges in about 15 mins.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Be careful with that. They sent me these crap 1200 maH batteries. I went through 3 of them before 1 would work. I got fed up and called them and they said if I bought an OEM battery somewhere I can fax them the receipt and they will reimburse me. And they did. Got a genuine OEM from Ebay for $12.

Is there a way to export the registry from Windows Phone? I'm looking for the last key that my Windows Live ID is stored in, but having no luck. If I can export it as a .reg or .txt file or something, it'd make it much much quicker.

If you're wondering, I changed my Windows Live ID using the method in this thread, but there's one more location that the Windows Live ID is stored that no one's been able to find. It's preventing me from posting to Windows Live, Twitter, LinkedIn, and uploading things to SkyDrive.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revxx14:
Alright, found this, but the search doesn't really work (sometimes it does, but when you're looking for something pretty specific it doesn't look like it does). Still looking for a way to export the registry...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Get Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Manager & WmdcLauncher. It'll allow WMDM/AS to sync with WP & you can use CeRegEditor to export/edit the registry from your PC.

NOTE: Only works on FullUnlocked Custom ROMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revxx14:
Looks like that only works with Windows Mobile devices, not Windows Phone, but if it does, I don't have a custom ROM anyway...If you could do me a huge favor and export yours, and PM it to me, if you have the time, I'd be extremely grateful.

Also, I found another location that the Windows Live ID shows up:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Usage\SignedInuser

After changing that, it still isn't working.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If you're running a custom ROM that is FullUnlocked, than it does work. I'll export it, expect my PM in a few minutes.
