[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Hi,

My friend has a Nexus S which isn't doing OTA updates. She's still stuck with 2.3.6 and I'm trying to help her get ICS which means I need to know exactly what model it is. Under "About Phone" the baseband says I9020XXKF1. Is this a I9020A or I9020T?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'd be leaning towards an i9020T but unsure if that baseband works with the A too. Best bet is to check behind the battery cover, if there is i9020 or i9020T it is the T version.

You'll be able to get her to 4.0.3 by downloading the upgrade .zip manually from google (through stock recovery), there is a stickied thread with the official links.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Thanks. I did a little googling and it seems that it's a T. If it ends up to be otherwise and I try flashing a T update, would it throw an error or would the phone get corrupted?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyd73:
Sticker

You can get the exact model of the sticker underneath the battery also :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
If you flash in stock recovery it'll just throw out an error if it is a different model.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killyy:
Hello guys,

I was having the same question today so I took the battery out and looked on the back of the phone.

It just writes GT-I9020 and the baseband version is I9020XXKI1. A friend of mine imported it from Hongkong in February and had android 4.03 installed. So what version could it be?

On the Wikipedia I read that a version of GT-I9020 was especially made for the Korean market. Can someone confirm that I have only GT-I9020 and not the A or T version?
[HTC Sensation] flitezone:
Folks,

My phone is rooted, h-boot. I can't load any custom roms, so I decided to just stick with the stock rom. I received the OTA ICS updated today in the US (t-mobile) and tried to update. It errors out giving me the exclamation sign and green android logo. I've done research and tried to flash the RUU, I've tried several RUU that I thought fits my phone description. Apparently not the case though. Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

Here is my specs:

phone: HTC Sensation Z710e European non-branded T-mobile

on 2.3.4

Software: 1.50.401.1

baseband: 10.56.9035.OOU_10.14.9035.01_M

The OTA ICS update I received this morning is the following name:

OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401.1_release_252072fll6erq
[HTC Sensation] davebugyi:
It was told at least a million times, that never install official OTAs on a rooted phone. Search the sticky/guide threads for solution.

And when flashing the correct RUU flash it from fastboot and make sure you have HTC drivers (come with HTC Sync) installed.
[HTC Sensation] flitezone:
What's worse case scenario installing official OTA update on rooted phone? I don't care if i lose root or not. I just want ICS.
[HTC Sensation] irtiza.nazar:
Problems without root

Hi,

I'm getting the same problem on an un-rooted phone.

The phone died half-way during the update download due to power outage/low battery.

So I deleted the old update file, which was half-downloaded and ran "Check for updates" again. This time it downloaded the complete file, but when it begins installation it's stuck for hours at the Android logo. The update doesn't seem to be installing. Had to re-boot the phone to get the old ROM back without ICS.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I know some other people were having this problem a couple of ota's back, but the random reboots are increasingly happening. Anyone else having this problem on .21? Any known fixes? Thanks for any support/help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
THIS is the stuff that kills my enthusiasm

/start rant

So what I really don't get is the incredible mix of results in the field to updates. I realize that there are infinite variables as far as installed software, system settings, environmental conditions (Temp, WiFi signal, router type, etc.) but from my observations, including results with my 2 TFP's and the posted results, it appears that:

For every new FW roll out, the following things will happen. 100% of the time:

1. Your WiFi Signal strength and throughput will get better

2. Or it will get worse - # of affected units vary, but we can tell exactly, just by estimating (LOL) Seems to affect roughly 50% of units in the field.

3. Your WiFi + Bluetooth streaming will get better (Unless it gets worse, which happens on half of the units affected bt the update.

4. It will stay the same. Exactly. This seems to NOT be affected by whether you had ****ty WiFi or Great WiFi.

5. Your GPS will come back after losing it in the last update. Or it will go away, if you got it back on the last update. Or it will stay the same, which is to say, it STILL works like ****, even if you can, for 9 seconds lock onto 14 out of 18.

I mean, Asus has ASSURED us that there are NO rolling hardware revisions. Even though a Support MANAGER, high enough up the food chain to have some real power told me my 2nd Prime "Had the new Hardware" Then again, he told my the GPS - THAT THEY TESTED ON THIS UNIT would be at LEAST as good as my TF101 was. (It isn't)

Why WOULD Asus admit new hardware was in place, even if it was? With the returns they are getting on these (less than 1%... ih, shuuure) could you picture the run on returns when folks caught wind of new hardware? For each Serial # revision, we see a slew of "Anything different?" questions. Picture someone saying, oh yeah: Wifi is off the charts, and the added 5 Ghz radio, and GPS works! It would be a feeding frenzy/bloodbath for folks to get the "NEW" ones..

Ahh well, all this is old news, been said time and again. Also when new users hit these forums, I kind of feel sorry for them, knowing the same old crew is gonna pounce on them with their positions and tell the poor noob what to love, what to hate, why the Prime is the best device ever since the dawn of time / worst POS that anyone ever sold... Man, I hope they are made out of taffy, cause they are in for some MAJOR being pulled in dif. directions.

Okay then. /Rant over
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cullenmq1:
I understand completely what you are ranting about, but buggy wifi, bluetooth, gps doesn't really bother me. What I'm wondering about is less about hardware specs and more about these random reboots i got after the .19 update. Just wondering if anyone knows an effective fix...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
Okay, this should fix you up.

So, .19 - Thats obviously not US. Is the .21 we received here in USA available to you? If not and you are on the latest available FW, do what I did when .15 gave me issues: Roll back your FW. Using the instructions in this thread, you can roll back to whatever FW was trouble free for you. As I said, ALL versions were okay for me with mixed success but no major bugs like reboots.

Note you WILL need to root to roll back, but then you can choose to root again or stay unrooted. If you need a quick, easy root, use the Sparky Root apk that doesn't even require a PC to root!

Install any version (ICS, Honeycomb, change SKUs) to your Transformer Prime:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887

EDIT: LOL - I just noticed you DID the .21 update, but you said .19 in your post, probably thinking about what it was predicted to be for weeks before they actually rolled it at .21
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cullenmq1:
yeah sorry... it was the previous one before .21. Just assumed it was .19 :). okay yeah i am rooted and in the U.S. with .21 thought there might have been an easier fix where i could be on the current version but i guess not. It hasn't rebooted lately, maybe it just needed time to settle. Thanks for your help!

reboots steps found

Hi,

I have managed to reproduce random reboots on my unit.

I'm running a TW unit on .21

1. Install TED from market place

2. Play any video, the one I used is Lucy McRae: How can technology transform the human body?

3. Pause the video

4. Wait for 5 minutes. I set my Transformer screen timeout to be 2 minutes

5. Press power again to activate the device and try to resume the video

6. 8 out of 10 times, my transformer will hang and reboot

Can anyone confirm this any other .21? Thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Khyrdantai:
I got a few random reboots after the update, but now they don't really happen from what I've noticed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wilco_sg:
1. Backed up my app using the built in app backup tool

2. Factory reset

3. Installed TED and tried to play the same video, no hangs/reboots now

4. Tried to restore apps, tells me FAILED?!!?!?

-.-"

5. To restore all apps and try TED again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Mine has been working fine since i got it up to the latest update wifi is strong and gps locks(not that i really use it).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordanmw:
There is actually a known issue with the TED app. They will need to update the app to resolve the issue on our primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wilco_sg:
It happens not only with TED but almost all other video players too. As long as I put it to sleep, once I try to resume the video, it hangs n reboots. It drove me nuts.

But I did a factory reset today (refer to the earlier post), and I haven't been reproduce the problem again. I will monitor for the next 7 days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wilco_sg:
In the past 7 days, I had 3 reboots, all video related. From TED to DicePlayer etc.

I also do alot of surfing and run some apps, these do not encounter reboots.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anonymous572:
Many people heard about FBI fail with android pattern lock. I became interested in this situation and found that it's possible to connect my device to PC and explore files using ClockworkMod bootloader ability to mount USB storage. This is not good, but I found another vulnerability. You can enter to Download mode and again without pattern lock or any password protection flash new firmware. After this you can exec smartphone and see all internal memory (photos, videos or any your private data).

Clockworkmod developers should and option to set password or pattern lock to their bootloader. I believe that it is a realy necessary option. But what with download mode? Is it possible to set password or pattern lock before you enter it and PC will see device ready for flashing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DAG425:
What you are really wanting is a Power On Password.... This would be the only way to implement what you want to do.

I have the Galaxy Nexus and you can encrypt the entire device just like you can do with other devices. Once you have encrypted the device you cannot mount the internal storage to flash a ROM in CWM. To un-encrypt it when you are running a custom ROM you have to flash stock firmware back and you loose all your data.

Can I get gingerbread on my rooted device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Are you currently on Gingerbread? If so, go to the first link in my signature and look for where it talks about SuperOneClick.

If you are on rooted Froyo follow the second link in my signature and flash with bootloaders. Flashing bootloaders means you will need to flash twice checking the"flash bootloaders" box the second time. If you don't - you will boot into a rainbow screen. When you are finiahed you will have rooted stock Gingerbread with CWM.

If you are on Froyo and NOT rooted you can follow the full guide in the first link of my signature to upgrade to Gingerbread and root.

Hello everyone.. installed the update (android 4.0) for my sensation xe, everything goes well unless the whatsapp. When I enter my contact I find the facebook picture for all of them but when I enter whatsapp there is no picture for any contact although sync is on for facebook and whatsapp how can I fix it??
[General Questions and Answers] ruudislang:
I experienced the same after updating my sensation to 4.0.

It happened because the account for "facebook for htc sense" got deleted, this one used to function as a bridge between facebook and normal contacts so that whatsapp could get its syncs from there. Whatsapp can somehow not sync directly with the normal facebook app so I guess you have to do without the pictures.

But if someone knows a solution, I'd be glad to hear :D!

Hi,

Helping my friend with a Nexus S flash her device to ICS. After some probing, I think her device is a I9020T, from the baseband I9020XXKF1 and build GRK39F. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So I've instructed her to download the 4.0.3 IML74K update from here to the root folder of her sdcard

I've had experience flashing zip files on HTC phones using CWM, but not on a stock unrooted Google device. Is the procedure the same? By that I mean booting to recovery, selecting the zip file to apply, apply it, then reboot.

Does she need to factory reset/wipe dalvik/wipe cache/etc?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madgibbon:
Try the following, you could restore the device the factory settings before but it shouldn't be neccessary.

1. Download the official firmware

2. Rename it update.zip.

3. Copy it over to the internal storage space on your Nexus S.

4. Power your device off and then hold power and volume up to boot into the device’s bootloader.

5. Select Recovery using the volume keys and then confirm.

6. You’ll soon see a warning triangle and an arrow. Hold the power button and hit volume up.

7. A menu will pop up where you’ll want to select Apply update from /sdcard. Select update.zip.

8. It will install and you’ll want to select reboot system now.
