[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
I recently flashed ICS 4.0.3 on my Nexus S, and now when I enter Recovery it shows me the Android guy lying on his back with his chest open and having an exclamation mark on top and then the screens turns off.

I tried using a flashlight to read the screen and I tried re-flashing the 4.0.3 but to no success. I wanted to use ClocworkMod's ROM manager to boot but it says my phone is not rooted.

The phone was rooted when I had 2.3.6, but since I've updated I didn't root again.

I looked around the forum and I saw something about fastboot, but I'm a n00b when it comes to these things and I don't know how to use it..

Any idea on how to make it go into Recovery mode again? Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
While your phone is off; hold the power button and hold the volume up button, then you should be in recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
I've done that, I used a flashlight and tried to flash ICS all-over again, but nothing flashes...anything else?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] payneardo:
Same problem

A friend of mine has the same problem unrooted stock 4.0.3 when he boots in to recovery black screen. Tried using a torch (flashlight) to see the screen but couldn't see anything on it.

A bit of research has found this section and just trying to find bright lamp to see if works as per a few of the posts on the link below :)

and yes you can just see the text, we have used a bright lamp at different angles :) but not managed to do the 4.0.4 update yet...

Cheers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
I've already used a flashlight and I could see part of the menu. I tried re-flashing the ICS update to 4.0.4 and the original 4.0.3 ROM, but still nothing. I couldn't tell what error it had or it said. I want to know how can I root again and try to install the ROM from ROM manager?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelsonhtb:
I remebered I saw this dead droid and seems like need to go into fastboot and download custom recovery again.

I think you should try to load in custome recovery. That is what happen to me and able to have a live droid.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
When you see the android guy lying down with his chest open, just hold the power button and push the volume up button, then let it go and you should be in the bootloader menu. Then just use the volume buttons to move it down to recovery, then click install zip from sd card.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
I tried that, it doesn't work (i tried flashing 2 ROMs and it didn't do anything to the phone). What custom recovery would you recommend?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
Flash back to stock I guess
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iuliano:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
thank you, I'll try flashing and reply whit the result
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
Finally did it. I used fastboot to re-write the recovery.img. Now it works.

Anyone can recomend a good ICS 4.0.4 ROM?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can recommend AOSP+. It's very stable and fast (ROM benchmark 2nd place). It is very stockish, I LOVE IT. The developer is also involved in CodeName Android, a highly customizable ROM, they should update to 4.0.4 soon. If you like STOCK you should go with AOSP+, if you want more options for customization you can install CodeName in version 1.6 or wait for the Update on 4.0.4.

Also very good is Pete's Bugless Beast and Brainmaster's Stock 4.0.4
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woolf4ever:
last night I got OTA for 4.0.4...dk how since I have root. I installed it and it runs sweet. thx for the help guys

You can just inter to bootloader, and reflash the recovery image with fastboot tools.

Are there any good screen portectors out there that dont compromise my screen quality? I saw someone with a matte textured screen protector on his iphone which looked neat, but are there any that would effect screen quality for the E4GT? Finger print resistance would be a great plus too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] info[]box1:
I found the basic sprint OEM clear screen protector are pretty cool and does the job.

I use stealth shiekdz, only bad think I notice is finger prints. I have too clean screen every now and then. But if put on right you can't even notice it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
I've tried:

SGP Ultra Fine

SGP Ultra Oleophobic

Sprint clear/matte

Reallook Crystal

The SGP Ultra Oleophobic is anything but, it got terribly messy quick. The SGP Ultra Fine takes away too much of the screen quality due to its matte finish. By far my favorite is the Reallook Crystal. These fit the best, are inexpensive, (2 in a package) and don't seem to fingerprint as bad as other crystal protectors I have used. They also do not reduce screen quality at all, it's the best protector I have used on the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I tried several different dry and wet application types and ended up with sgp steinheil ultra crystal. You dont even know its there except that it gathers fingerprints a bit faster than no protector.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
I've been using Ghost Armor since my Evo and I love it. It's $35 for the whole phone and only a $5 replacement charge for whenever you want it redone. It also carries over from phone to phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
+1 on the Steinheil. Hands down the best screen protector I've ever used. Easy to apply and you can't even tell it's there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
Fosmon .... super cheap extremely durable. 7 months and no scratches

Also good kits for application only 6 bucks for 3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
+1also, no messy liquid applicator and easy to install. You really can't tell its there. Even ripped off the protector from my otterbox case so I could use the steinhall instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
I have used zagg dry and wet and have put the sprint oem protectors on customer phones. The zagg dry is awesome. I have had problems with the wet in the past but bought it anyway when I got my et, and it came off right away. Got the dry model and it is substantially better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elterible:
+1 on this one also.

I've tried a whole mess of screen protectors for all my phones and I always end up back with SGP Ultra Crystal. I hate matte finishes because they make screens look like garbage so I usually lean towards the clearer versions

I have had several people comment that they couldn't even tell that i had a screen protector on (which is the look I am going for). Downside is, because it feels so close the the original glass, it also attracts fingerprints just like the glass would but this is not a deal-breaker for me. If you ever buy a "cheaper", no-name version, some of them actually look almost as good initially but I have noticed they tend to scratch WAY easier than SGPs.

Hope this helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
+1 on Steinheil here as well, easily the best screen protector you can buy. I have the Ultra Crystal and my only complaint is that it attracts fingerprints a little quicker than I'd like it to.. but this is true for all crystal protectors. Keep a microfiber cloth at home ;)

I can't believe nobody mentioned Ghost Armor besides myself. I can't see any downside to it. If any of you have a rep in your local mall, you should really give them a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
so the sgp crystal is worth $14?

or is there somewhere I can find it for less
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
Its definitely worth it. I wasn't able to find it cheaper any where. At least it comes with two..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Yep another vote for sgp ultra crystal. Best quality screen protector I've ever had and as an added bonus, the easiest and fastest install i've ever had. literally took a few sec to align and bam it's on. no dust underneath or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bean:
Got the SGP ultra crystal and it's really easy, fingerprints collect but easy to apply.

I've used www.clearprotector.com in the past and my phone survived many falls without a broken screen or scratches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrwright83:
I used the xtreme guard off ebay and its been working pretty well for the last 2months with no complaints
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkkidd:
ditto.

I just buy cheapest ebay protector from ebay ( i think it was... $2 for two)

use it for couple of months and put on a new one.

You guys know that it's just a piece of plastic right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jus1haz2:
I heard the Xo skins are decent but these sgp ultra crystal look interesting too. I have a zags screen protector now and I'm not a fan of it. Fingerprints, 'orange peel' look and although mine was used there are colored specs visible in some light, idk kinda weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
It's definitely more than just a piece of plastic, it least the good ones are.

I too have some cheap ones right now, they scratch easily, have kind of a rainbow effect, and just don't look or feel that good in general. i don't have one on my phone right now because it makes it look that much worse
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:
http://www.basalent.com

These protectors have a matte finish and are awesome! Got these for my mom's skyrocket and they're great. The ones for our phones are not listed for some reason but I just ordered a set of 3 from eBay for about $9. I'm currently using the skyrocket version on my phone and is great except the skyrocket's front camera is in a slightly different spot, so it's all blurry. They use a dry application.

I came from it the other way. My last 3 smartphones (htc touch pro, palm pre, htc evo) , I've done it this way. Just buy some cheap stuff from ebay.

But I decided with the samoled+ on the galaxy s 2, to give it a little love. The screen quality is much better than any past phone i've had.. and what's the point of it if I'm just going to use some garbage on top of it? The SGP ultra crystal is pretty thick and really resilient as it doesn't have any visible scratches on it for the few months I've had it so far.

Pieces of plastic do have different qualities to them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:
Are there any protectors that offer similiar clarity of the ultra crystal but have better finger print resistance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
SGP offers a more fingerprint resistant version, but I don't know how effective it is. It's called Ultra Oleophobic, I think?

I've been using BoxWave ClearTouch for years, and I mean years... Started with my HP iPaq 2200. Have to admit I haven't gotten one for this guy because of the gorilla glass. They probably OEM them, but they have been the best I've had so far. Tried Zagg and others, but always went back. They have both "clear" and "anti-glare" versions. I think they are reasonably pricing, $6 single and $13 for a three pack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I've been using the one that came with my Trident Aegis case and so far it sucks. It gathers fingerprints REALLY easily, and I could not get an air bubble out (got all of them except one - the instructions said any remaining ones would leave after like a week but it never did) so it looks weird. I don't want to spend $14 on a Screen protector so I'm not sure if I should just throw my Trident one out for keep it on for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Odom Project:
I have tried many many screen protectors over the years, but I really have to recommend ghost armor if you can find someone near you. I don't recommend the full body they will try to sell you, as it doesn't like to stay on the sides of our phone that well, but the screen protectors are amazing! They're crazy scratch resistant, and repel pretty much everything so it keeps your phone looking new all the time. I've had my phone since launch day, and put this on 2 days later and it still doesn't even look like there's anything there, just an E4GT straight out of the box. They are a bit expensive ($20-$30) but after that if you tear it up, call your phone on warrantee, anything, its only $5 for them to redo it. I recommend you at least find a place n let them demo it for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Reallook. I used to be an SGP fan and still am but prefer Reallook now for this very reason. They seem to fingerprint a lot less IMO.

Terrible. It seemed to fingerprint more than the the crystal version and was a bear to clean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
That's what I heard as well on the Ultra Oleophobic.

Are you sure the Reallook is better and not a placebo effect? I'm down to try something that picks up less fingerprints

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
I was going to get the SGP but the Realook protectors look nice, especially for the price. Though, review say they're difficult to put on, and they have bubbles! Im at a bind right now haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Just my opinion but I am personally convinced. SGP drove me insane with smudges and a generally nasty overall appearance. Reallook doesn't get

nearly as smudged, I never find myself disgusted with it.

Reallook does bubble more than SGP when applying it. No big deal to me, I've installed dozens of screen protectors. With patience you can apply it bubble free, mine is perfect.

So I am looking for a better kernel. Currently I am running simplicity rom 2.1.1 with a semaphore kernel. Sorry for not being specific. I don't know what it is:

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVZ-CL762603stratosk@semaphore

Anyway, I really do enjoy my great battery life. But I was wondering if it could be even better !

I also am very big on my OC speed. as I need my phone to be fast and snappy.

I am currently overclocked at min 1300 and max 1300 on performance.

If anyone could reccomend me a kernel or OC frequencys?

Simple. International version is me865. U.S. is mb865. Updates for one don't show up for the other and we don't seem to have many participants here with the me version.

Edit: I stand corrected. It was a mb865 Asia rom that got updated. The same principal applies though. An Asian rom won't show in a phone running a U.S. rom and vice versa.

[Motorola Atrix 2] seraphielx:
From what I have been reading the "Leaks" are usually pulled from the QA or the Staging servers.

I am on east coast and I think they are on west coast so I usually start checking around noon (its hit or miss if the servers are up before that time)

I would love to get a wireshark log of what it is sending packet wise to the servers to see if we can fake it out with a post or get request but for some reason my hacker tools (facenif,droidsheep,anti) do not work on the atrix 2 (worked on the atrix 4g and bravo) so I have not looked to see if anything else networking wise will work on it..perhaps I will research if I can figure out why catlog is not working on the blaze rom

Ok so digging it looks like tcpdump binary is not in system/xbin all I see if tcpsvd. I tested shark and it has a error message when I try to capture packets so let me go look at a razr and see if these tools work on it and if it has the binary in xbin..This may be the whole problem why my toys are not working

bah toys all work on the razr and it doesn't have tcpdump so at a loss..guess I will try again once ics comes out and maybe things will work

IIRC the update process posts messages to logcat. You can see some of what gets sent to motorola there.

From what I remember the update process is a XMPP (jabber) client connecting to motorola's XMPP update server.
