[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
.

I would like to start out by saying thank you to all of the wonderful devs that motivated me to start devving, and to all of the users who kept me going. :)

I don't want this to be a long goodbye, as most users don't really care. I just figured I should explain my leaving instead of just disappearing.

So, I have almost obtained an Epic 4G Touch, as most ns4g users have started doing. It will be shipped tomorrow, and development for it will start the minute I get it unboxed. My Nexus S 4G will happily sit on the table in my room, prolly collecting dust :p

I want to continue providing ports and such for the nexus s and nexus s 4g, but development from me will continue to decline and may eventually stop. I have a few unfinished projects that I would like to get somewhat close to working ( sense 4.0, touchwiz ), and hand over to the other devs. I have a few updates to my roms that have been sitting on my laptop for months, which I want to release. I have an update for just about every port I had done. I plan on updating sense 4.0 until it is usable. Other than that, I'm outta here.

I made tons of friends over here, and also made a few enemies..... but in the 5 months I had developed for this phone I had the best experiences ever. :) Thank you to all the devs that helped me out with my stupid questions (Lithid, fergie) and also thanks to all of the users that kept me motivated when things seemed down... I hope to keep in touch with you guys. If you have my gtalk just hit me up with any questions or even just to chit chat, im a nice guy ;) This community was awesome, I hope to one day see you all on another device, maybe this years nexus? ;)

Anyway, farewell Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
Duuuuude.... I just flashed that 4.0.4 stock ROM with your tweaks and it's so smooth. Now I hear this..... :'(

Well good luck in your future with the 4g touch :)

Thank you for your work I wish you would stay :) Btw that mod makes 4.0.4 so much smoother!
[Nexus S General] Rblacula:
Please tell me this is an April Fools Day joke...
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
Hahah I had a 4.0.4 rom I made last week with all those mods, I almost released it. :) not bragging, it was by far the smoothest I have ever run, and I'm pretty sure those mods were a big part of it. glad you like it :)
[Nexus S General] dirt:
good luck w/ the et4g brotha
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
For our sakes (NS owners) I hope it's a joke, I've tried probably all your ports and love seeng what you'll try to port next.

For yours, I hope its not haha. The e4gt is an awesome phone.

Thanks for all the hard work you've done.

And for the flashable zip you made yesterday.
[Nexus S General] stellar:
It definitely is the smoothest I've tried, if it had a trebuchet type of launcher like codenames to utilize the join with apps feature it would just be melted butter! :)
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
Sorry to see ya leave the ns4g . Your moving to the phone my wife has so guess I'll see ya there . Thanks for all your roms and ports swamp.
[Nexus S General] slawson:
Good luck! I loved taking over evoblur! Keep in touch with us all!
[Nexus S General] MaXmeOliver:
I'm so hoping that this is a April fools joke! :(
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Swamp you leaving a development phone to develop for a carrier phone? Good luck with that :P.... Anyways been a pleasure connecting with you on these forums, Android is universal so just cause you going to the et4g keep in touch! Btw seek Maddoggin and Scott Brissenden (sbrissen) on the et4g forums both are my boys and willing to offer help.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
April fools day joke?
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
Yeah, things are definitely going to be different, the nexus was so easy to mess with, and we always had what we needed for roms and mods... first few weeks on e4gt will be interesting, I am preparing myself for a brick hahaha..

I'll be popping into this forum from time to time for sure, I couldn't just leave.. and I have heard about sbrissen all over the forums, I see his name somewhere on just about every device haha, i'll get in contact :)

I think its hilarious that I posted this on april fools day.. there might be something fishy about it, but nobody knows for sure...........

;)
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Maddoggin bricked two already ask him there is a fail safe method when something in cwm goes ape ****, sbrissen bricked one already lmao.
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
Almost every e4gt dev I have talked to so far has had at least one brick.. I will most likely be joining that group haha. I need to find out every mistake they made, I have never bricked a phone and don't want to find out what its like.

A few days ago, I tried odin'ing a e4gt rom to my nexus out of boredom, with my own custom pit file.. I was expecting some kind of brick with the radio or something, but nothing. This phone is insanely durable. I will miss it :(
[Nexus S General] jaestreetss:
Hope to see those releases sOon ...gonna miss the almost impossible ports...

[Nexus S General] iGoogleNexus:
I still have my Nexus S and I'm still in the forum helping those who need it =P

-Google Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus S General] The Batman:
Why didn't you just wait for the HTC Evo 4G LTE?
[Nexus S General] swamp goblin:
My upgrade isn't until the end of september.. And i've had my share of htc phones, I'm waiting it out and hoping that the sg3 lands perfectly for my upgrade :)

Haha just looking around, I realized that the nexus s truly is an aosp phone.. not one of my ports is being taken up or looked at :( ohh well, i liked them
[Nexus S General] Jamin13:
If I had a clue on how to maintain your ports, I would definitely attempt to keep them in a great working order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbrian:
The version I have is when I go down it skips like 10 times and is really annoying. I read on here someone fixed it but I can't find the thread. Can someone help???

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
I had been running the leaked ICS for a couple of weeks, when after a short fall (1 ft) my Iconia A100 failed to boot. After a power - volume up keypress, I eventually get the following errors:

E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

(No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

(No such file or directory)

E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)

Then the Android system recovery utility appears. I can navigate up/down using the volume rocker, but nothing selects any of the options (reboot_system_now, apply_update_from_external_storage etc.

USB drivers do not recognize device, and when I try to boot normally (power button) it gets stuck on the first ACER logo.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
You could try resetting it with the small hole at the base. You could also try placing the ICS update.zip on your external sd card, then booting into recovery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
I have tried both the pinhole reset - just turns off unit. Also tried ics leak as update.zip on sdcard but I can't get the unit to update. I can get to the recovery screen and toggle between the options but I can it to select anything. I've also tries the power - volume down then orientation lock switch. That process flashes text in screen (erasing cache?) But no change.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Make sure the file has the correct name. Just name it update since it is already a zip file to avoid the "double zip" file extension.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tomlogan1:
If you are seeing text on the screen about erasing cache, you are in the right spot. I've had my tablet sit by seemingly doing nothing for 5+ minutes after starting a hard reset and then it pops up with the configuration screen. Try again the hard reset. You are on the right track.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
The text goes away quickly, reboot and then stuck on Acer screen.

How should the selection for recovery screen be? I can toggle between menu items but not select one.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] masterpker2:
Press power button to select an option
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
That is what I thought and have done in the past. The power button does nothing during selection but eventually power the unit off (and on again etc). Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
Try 'slapping' the device few times.

My A100 hardware buttons (power, volume, rotation) and front camera doesn't work after a short ball, and slapping the device back (precisely, on the back, beside the camera, near the volume button) few times gets those function back, the front camera now works again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
Thanks for the tip. Will give it try.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dacaz:

thank you for advance for your response for your help
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nobumoto:
I sent mine in for service.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] patrick_spd4u:
If you have managed to get the CPU ID, you can restore from EUU (APX mode). But if you don't have your CPU ID, I think you can't do much, just like me.

I sent my A100 to ACSC (Acer Customer Service Center) after trying to restore from EUU, but the EUU begs for the CPU ID, which I don't know.

Clues in the title all I get is waiting for device on the command prompt. Any help appreciated
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
Anybody????
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerryXP2600:
In what step are you stuck??

I read from your signature that you have unlocked bootloader, so "fastboot flash boot boot.img" must ended well.. or not?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
i get waiting for device? even when my device is connected
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veng3nce:
yep

i second that .. i have the same problem... works for unlocking the bootloader but not flashing to the phone ... stuck on waiting for device
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guillem.Rins:
Repeat the operation.

What compilation number are you running? Even though it's supposed to work only on 0.42 i did run the new version on my 0.62. I suggest you to repeat the following instructions written on the sony developer webpage

1.Make sure your phone is running the latest software release, which is build number 4.0.2.A.0.42. If you can’t upgrade to this build number, it is not possible to try the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for Xperia™ phones.

2.Go to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and unlock the boot loader of your phone. To do this, you must read through and agree to all the legal and warranty conditions that apply.

3.Download the Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROM for Xperia™ PLAY.

4.Extract the downloaded zip file to your Android Fastboot directory. For example: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta.

5.Open a command prompt and go to your Fastboot directory: ..\android-sdk\fastboot\

6.Flash the three beta ROM files one at a time using Fastboot. Use these three commands:

• fastboot flash boot ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\boot.img

• fastboot flash userdata ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\userdata.img

• fastboot flash system ..\Fastboot\Xperia_PLAY_ICS_beta\system.img

7.Once done, please reboot your phone.

I had also the same message you got on the console, but i kept waiting, and finally i could reboot as normally.

PD: Sometimes it's only matter of time and patience. As if I had it also xD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
Try adding "-i 0x0fce" to the fastboot command, like this

fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leidenhag:
Saved my day! I have no idea what "-i 0x0fce" means but it solved the issue =)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
i used quikimg in the end worked perfect :) thanks though guys

Where did you find this? Could you direct me to the original thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
Hi, thanks for the ROM.

I'm also wondering where this originated from? Also, where did you originate from? I noticed you joined today and also posted a ROM the same day. Not that I don't appreciate it, I'm just trying to make sure you aren't posting something malicious like a ROM with baked in malware...

Cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eskimo99:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chasport:
This is the original thread, no malware, I am posting this on behalf of cbinvb. This is a build he released to me and said it was ok to post it.

It's getting a bit annoying having all the children here putting up April fools "jokes"

Yes, i promise. Maybe I shoulda linked this tomorrow

Op, can you tell us a little more about this ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
Yea bro, something feels "off" here, I also have it, not flashing it yet..

EDIT: This ROM is GTG, this was prior to chasport beefing up the ROM's description, it was suspect before, not now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chasport:

Did an cache and dalvik wipe, installed v2.2 and let set for 10 minutes. everything working smoothly but mail and mail exchange crashing. camera and gallery crashing, saying "media scanning" every time i try to open..

should i system wipe for this to work or just wait on another release in current configuration?

ps. shut down working, good job! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bbobarino:
Its not that hard?? No need to b a dousche! !!! Cheer up life ain't that bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Arh1tekt:
I flahsed that modem and had no mobile data. it would say insert sim card while my sim was already inserted, had to restore nand backup :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aykiddo:
Hm, mine seems to work fine. Did you flash the modem before or after you flashed the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Arh1tekt:
After the Rom. It was yesterday on the last version V2, not V2.2

I think i'll stay with this rom's modem for now..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aykiddo:
I flashed the rom with the gingerbread modem, booted up, then went into recovery and flashed the ics modem. Working like a charm (:

RELAX
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jangst123:
I too was having all kinds of issues!

I think you need to let this settle longer than most, and you need you may need need to re-wipe cache & dalvik after flashing, plus fix permissions

DO A Darkside SUPERWIPE!! DO NOT SKIP THIS!

See below for more info on what I did to get everything working nicely with no apps forcing closed! Only bugs I seem to have now are stated in the OP

Awesome update 2.2 4/3

It is much stable for me now.

Note-

1. I did data wipe twice followed by Darkside SuperWipe twice and then installed the update.

2. Titanium backup works only if you restore mode is APP only.

3. Cyanogen alarm clock works

4. Galary/Camera works.

5. Incall echo - need to test more.

Thanks chasport.
