Yea Travis a link would be great so 2.3.4 is what I should sbf to and i have rootkeeper already but was just wondering what the root method was? Psouza has a method for that right.:D
[Motorola Droid X2] Broadley1:
yea a link would be awesome
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Rootkeeper isn't necessary for 2.3.4. It could actually cause problems with flashing the rom. Use Pete's one click.
[Motorola Droid X2] Broadley1:
Thanks I did the 2.3.4 update and rooted now I wanna do a rom but not sure of the process read a couple of different ways, kinda confused:confused::D
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Which rom(s) are you looking at? The flashing process is cake! Which part of it is confusing? Everyone can help you!
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Indeed we can help. You can flash cm7, eclipse 1.3, liberty (its not all that great), and molten rom. I recommend eclipse for stability and cm7 for customization. All you will need to do is install the bootstrap recovery and use it to make a backup of your stock rom. Then wipe data, cache, and dalvic cache. Then flash the rom of your choice. Cm7 requires a few extra steps but we can cross that bridge of we get to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Broadley1:
Yea I think eclipse is my choice, seems the most stable. I'm not sure about the step by step process for doing this I would like a detailed walkthrough for this it would be greatly appreciated.:confused::D
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Is there a 2.3.3 version of Eclipse? Let me know which version you want to use.

Here is a skeleton walkthrough just to give you an idea:

Make sure your device is rooted

Download the appropriate version of Clockwork Recovery abbrev. (CWR)

Download the rom of your choice and any other zips you need and make sure they are on you EXTERNAL sd card (very important but DO NOT freak out if forget, these things can be fixed :)

Install CWR from inside the app labeled System Recovery

Your system will reboot into CWR.

Whilst in CWR you want to wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache and System Data

(things will be muy poopy if you dont wipe sys data and Cache; Dalvik not so much)

You would then proceed to 'install zip' --> 'install from SD card'

Find the zips need to flash the rom, let everything work, go back to the CWR home menu (the first one you saw)

Hit 'Reboot device now' and bam, you just flashed your first rom!!!

For future reference: When a developer or anyone for that matter says you have to flash a zip file, the above process is what you would follow; sans wiping the Big Three (Cache Dalvik Cache and Sys Data) though some zips may require to wipe one of three and the poster will tell you which one.

Once you decide which rom you want to flash, Ill give you a more specific walkthrough.
[Motorola Droid X2] Broadley1:
im on 2.3.4 now and want to go with eclipse. That seems to be for me from what ive read. I have read i should do a nand backup but do i have to do that even though im only rooted with no rom? And you mentioned a more detailed walkthrough that sounds great, the noob frendlier the better.lol

thanks again
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
The first thing you want to do is upgrade to 2.3.5. That is the kernel you need to be in in oder for Eclipse to work.

You really always want to nandroid when you are installing something semi big. You'll save root and time if something messes up. Do you know how to nandroid? It takes about 15 minutes to do
[Motorola Droid X2] Broadley1:
No I've never nandroided, not really sure how. And can u walk me through the process of doing the 2.3.5 update :D:thumbup:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Okay, so I posted about a week ago re: my softkey issue and fortunately that was fixed by returning my phone to stock, however, I followed nexushacks method and when it told to do this:

Step 12. Once you get the Android guy with exclamation mark, hit Volume Up and Power button at the same time until you get blue menus.

Nothing bloody happens. Please don't tell me I have to hold it for something like 60 seconds because I. Will. Rage. Lol.

When I try to go into recovery I get that symbol and can't do anything but batt pull. I'm still unlocked and rooted, to my knowledge.

I downloaded ROM Manager because I wanted to flash a recovery on it but it told me that "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"

It also says this when I open Rom Manager "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/xbin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use google blabla"

I'm also in the process of trying a command prompt on windows but it keeps giving me the "waiting for device" or awaiting a responce from device" whatever that message is...

Trying to give as info as possible so someone can help a brother out.

I can't deal with this Stock OEM crap anymore *twitch*

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Herp Derp

Okay, I didn't realize it was Press the Power button, then the volume up button.

Silly noobs.

So my question, is there a way to get Clockwork Recovery back on now or do I have to go through the whole "Rooting" process again?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I assume you see a lock symbol while booting. This means you're unlocked. Now you'll just need to use fastboot to flash a custom recovery (namely, CWM). NexusShacks details how to setup and use fastboot and i think they provide TWRP now, feel free to use this or just download CWM from here and flash that .img file instead.

After this, download the latest Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and flash that. Note that on a stock ROM it will flash stock recovery on every boot. To change this, rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to something else.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
But how do I flash a .img file when I don't have Recovery mode?

Or can I use do that through the OEM Recovery (blue screen)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You flash it with fastboot. Fastboot is a command line tool to flash various images through the bootloader screen. To enter the bootloader, turn off the device and hold Vol. Up + Power. This is the same place you would've typed "fastboot oem unlock", except to flash the new recovery you'll be typing something along the lines of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". NexusSHacks teaches you how to do all of this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Ah sorry, I still get Fastboot and Bootloader mixed up.

Only problem is that I don't know if my computer is recognizing my device when I plug it in through Bootloader.

As mentioned in my original post

"I'm also in the process of trying a command prompt on windows but it keeps giving me the "waiting for device" or awaiting a response from device" whatever that message is..."
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
I'm at work now and trying to figure out how to do this using Terminal on my mac.

When I type in "cd /nexussrootICS" it keeps on telling me "no such file or directory"

Do I need to put this file in a specific folder? I got this step working on my PC at home but it told me "Waiting for device" the whole time.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'm not particularly familiar with OS X so forgive anything i say that might be off target.

You need to direct the terminal to the relative OR absolute directory of that folder. A relative directory can be done by "cd ./blah", while an absolute will be done by "cd /blah". This is quite confusing for people who aren't used to command line, but very simple once you've done it a few times.

Easiest way aside from magical OS X shortcuts i don't know about is:

-Unzip the files to a "nexus" folder on the desktop, making sure the adb files are in this nexus folder and not a sub folder

-open terminal

-"cd /user/artist/desktop/nexus" or whatever the FULL PATH to the folder is. You should be able to see this through the folders properties or in the file explorer.

-Now you are in the folder, you can use adb and fastboot by just typing those words

I believe OS X can recognise the device straight away so you shouldn't need to install any drivers - at least my linux distros were like that. Installing drivers on Windows is detailed in the video, too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArtist8:
Ah!!!! I feel like I'm so bloody close...

Okay that part worked perfectly, I found out how to at least direct Terminal to the right location but now I'm lost again...

It's giving me this

"

unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img'

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
The command should be

./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

You were missing the recovery flag in the command.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Also do "man fastboot-mac" in terminal to show all its options.

Hey guys, i just order a pair of GNs for myself and so, though im now having buyers remorse.

I love the look of the nexus, though i just feel as i mad a bad decision and should of gone with the Note, S2, htc one S, or even the X.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
for one, it will most likely have the best deveolper support and nothing rivals vanilla ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MonsterAndroid:
That is to bad I am having Buyers Rejoice. Never had such a great phone. Let alone the best phone on the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Well, do you take so many calls you need two phones?

I'd feel remorse too in that case ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natious:
Haha no, so = significant other (fiance)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Oh well, in that case, no.

My wife loves hers.

That said there is always remorse in buying a 5 month old device. It is a dinosaur in tech terms; even if the software is cutting edge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I would say take it back and get the phone you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidstech11:
The GN is a great device. The developer support is great if you wish to try all kinds of amazing ROMS. But even if you don't, the GN is a great stock. I love not having to hack my device to remove all the bloat. Just stock ICS. But as someone else said, its about 5 months old. Something to remember. Devices will always come out. But I am not sure if I would buy it today. Not with the HTC One X out (import). And the Galaxy S 3 is more than likely going to be a device worth upgrading for. In short, its up to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kharnage:
I came from the sgs2 and I can honestly say this phone is far superior. I havent tried the one s yet so I cant speak for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinfamy:
I for one came from the MyTouch 4G slide, and couldn't he happier.

The developer support on that phone is pretty much dead, and I actually got used to have no physical keyboard really fast.

This phone is fast, gorgeous, and its so relieving not having to worry about crap like Sense, or Blur from my previous phone the Motorola Cliq.

Sense 4.0 looks nice, but vanilla ICS is so much more beautiful without the extra bloat.

As for the hardware, I want a phone that can do everything a phone should, with a bit of extra fun, and this does just that.

Running games at ~50FPS is great, I don't see why I need a quad core phone to have them run at ~60FPS, at the risk of more battery consumption for little significant gain. There is no future proofing since a year down the line you will switch again; and by that time, your phone will still be just as powerful.

Hell, the G1 is still a great phone if you use it as one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
sounds like you dont know what you want and will probably feel the same with any of those phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Early May could very well be the announcement of the Galaxy S XXX super duper HD and I'd still not care. If it's not a GSM Nexus, it's not for me, because of the myriad of reasons already covered in this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Spec wise, the HTC One X kinda beats the Nexus but isn't as fast in real use because of Sense 4.0. The only phone to beat the Nexus will be the Galaxy S3, but that usually will become the basis for the next Nexus anyway, so you just have to choose which cycle to get on, the Nexus Cycle or the Galaxy S Cycle. Stock Google and latest Firmware make the Nexus Cycle a no-brainer. I just hope you got a deal on the Nexus(s) because they are dirt cheap now (~$450)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
I enjoy AOSP and the ease of modding with this device. Sure there might be other devices coming out w/ newer tech, but I don't think I can stand skins anymore. Even de-sensed and de-blurred don't cut it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
I always get buyers remorse so can't really help you there. All I can say is that I wish i'd waited for SGS3 because if it's anything like the SGS2, which blows the nexus out of the water in every way but the screen, then I will be having a very very bad case of buyers remorse on 3rd May lol.

As for helping with your buyers remorse, if you like the look and feel of the phone, and can live with some minor flaws like the odd bit of lag, you will be ok with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natious:
$429 NIB + 2 years warranty shipped(each), so it was a pretty good deal.

I like what you're saying and i think that will be my plan of attack and just upgrade every nexus release, even if i had waited for the GS3 i wouldn't of been able to pick 2 of them up, I'm guessing they are going to be $800-$900.

Well thanks guys i feel a little better, im using a desire Z at the moment so it should be a big leap.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I don't think you'll have remorse. You're getting a great package, great price and updating to 4.0.4 will be awesome. And if you're a tinkerer it can only get better. Just think, a lot of us paid over $700 and don't regret it at all, even with the small problems we've had. And if you're already on xda, free tech support. Notice I said tech support and not noob support.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
+1. I've had the Desire and Desire HD before getting the GN and I must say every phone I've come across with Sense on it has been so poorly coded that it's had FPS issues just swiping from homescreen to homescreen.

The HTC One without Sense will best the GN hands down when stripped of Sense but I can't help but think (despite not having used one) that it will still struggle to run at a fluid ~59fps with Sense on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
The Galaxy Nexus like all Nexus phones is a reference phone, Android as Google intended without all the extra manufacturers add to it (ie Sense, Touchwiz, Motoblur, etc.) which some people may actually like. If you like Sense then a HTC One might be the way to go for you.

My biggest thing with Android phones is developer support. I personally am coming from a HTC Thunderbolt, which at the time was great, a ton of developers, ROMS, MODS....life was nice. Then, the Nexus came out, and within a month about 75% of the developers had jumped ship, updates were slow, and it just wasn't fun anymore.

So that said here is my list of things I look for when buying a new phone

1. Good Developer Support (Pretty much guaranteed for Nexus phones)

2. Style, Build, and Accessories (I would say HTC usually takes this, but Sammy is catching up)

3. Newness of Technology (You don't want a phone that is still using 2 year old tech. However, the newest tech is not the best bet either, since this creates issues with developers being able to take advantage of the latest and greatest in their ROMS. The thunderbolt was a perfect example, it was the first with 4G LTE, which was a nightmare for developers to get the ROMS working right. Till this day CM7 is still not an official build on the Thunderbolt.

4. Resale Value - Lets be honest you do not have an Apple Device which gets good resale prices due to its limited lineup. However, Nexus phones often keep better resale then their counterparts just due to the fact it is a Nexus phone. I usually trade up every year, sell the old one with its accessories for about 300 and use it to buy the next one. This allows you to get the latest and greatest every year, for about the same price of an upgrade or cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cloney:
I'd buy the GN in a heartbeat at prices now... ~$440 unlocked.

This device feels way more solid than the Galaxy S2 that my SO has.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
I've had my Nexus for six months today, and the only remorse I've had was at paying $750ish pre ordering it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghostnote:
No remorse here for buying my Nexus. When I bought it I was coming from an LG 2X. No need to say I hated it because of the poor support it had and countless problems I encountered with it. Random reboots, sudden shutdowns only solvable with a battery pull and many many more issues.

Now I have my Nexus. Can't explain how happy I am with it. A huge developer support, easy of modding, and last but not least, I haven't experienced a random reboot in 5 months I own it!

So, at the end of the story, developer support is what counts for me when buying a new phone. I might not have the latest hardware specs but I don't care since I have a perfect phone software wise :) Guess I'll upgrade only when a new Nexus will come out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
GNexus is still the best Android device around. Check the comparisons @ YouTube, even with lower specs it is faster than the One X on many operations. And it will get Android 5 much faster. I would never change my Nexus for a One X or GSII :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] verve50:
Return them if your having buyers remorse after just purchasing them you will never be happy. I personally love this phone, and don't care about specs its fast enough for me and I think the screen and battery life are great(running CM9), and after owning the HTC sensation and many other phones I would always rather have vanilla android with updates directly from Google...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Glad to hear you got such a great deal :D

For added security, remember the Nexus line can actually hold it's value a bit longer than most phones, as they are always updated first. The Galaxy S variants around the globe are significantly cheaper than the Nexus S still, simply because the Nexus S is rocking 4.0.4 while they are indefinitely stuck on 2.3
