[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:

http://db.tt/MW5XbuRY unzipped

Here is a full nandroid for twrp just unzip it and push it to the proper twrp folder

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
nvm

So how do we use this to go back to stock?

Do we just, place this in the same folder where other TWRP Nandroids are, then go into recovery and flash your nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Yes sir :)

It shouldn't have any accounts on it atleast It shouldn't because when you unlock it it forces you to wipe all data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poontab:
Anyone want to dd the the basebands & post them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dallastx:
Im confused. I havent been on the seen in a while... I know what TWRP is, but the version of clockwork that came in with instruction on how to root Verizon Nexus will not work? I cant do a nandroid through clockwork and restore it successfully?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Delete
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phrac:
Clockwork works fine for backup and restore. I have already done it multiple times since I got the phone yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
I'm making a nandroid of my current setup now. Then, I'm gonna go back into recovery and flash your nandroid
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Idk why people wanted a stock nandroid probaly because they forgot so I uploaded it!

That's all I know

Can someone let me know asap if there is personal data in any of that nanadroid there shouldn't be but I didn't check
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
ok so we have a stock kernel and pre-rooted kernel now, if we could get someone who hanst rooted to stop by the irc and flahsmy pre-rooted kernel we could get stock dumps of recovery and system (fastboot images not nandroids) then you guys can flash happy and devs like dreamsforgotten and maddoggin can begin work on stuff ;P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Could somebody please make a tar out of the zip so I can flash via Odin. I can't push anything to phone & I can only get into Fastboot and recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umerien:
Did you see any problems with texting or wifi connection after you rooted your sprint gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
No, I didn't
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Cwm - touch?

I was making a Nandroid and booted into recovery using ROM Manager -while in ROM Manager, I saw something about CWM Touch - has anyone tried this yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm using cwm touch now ..Installed via rom manager.. Works fine..

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaymoon:
Just restored this, updated Profile & PRL, rebooted, and now I have cell signal and data working!

Awesome job man, you rock! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Do your Google Wallet Work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umerien:
Can anyone please take some time of schedule and write down all the steps and and links to files needed to root sprint gnex...I thought more I would read about this better understanding I will get but I am more lost about this rooting than ever. I have never rooted or flashed custom roms before....I will highly appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
im hoping to make a stock fastboot flasher for yall, however a nandroid doesnt contain teh stuff needed for fastboot. hence why im hoping someone will join that is unrooted to http://webchat.irondust.net/?channels=sprint-nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Back to stock..

So I just wanna make sure.. I take the zipped version of the nand and put on sdcard and flash then reboot? Do i wipe data first , then flash zipped file? Or use unzipped file? Whats exact process? I'm using cwm touch.. Does that matter?

Heres a test build of CM9: http://goo.im/devs/winner00/update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-torospr-UNOFFICIAL-20120421-signed.zip

I have the Verizon version so I can't test it. Not even sure if it boots. Also remember to flash the latest gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:

I would like to welcome all my old friends from my Sprint days to the GNex family! There are a lot of familiar names in this thread from my Evo 4G, Nexus S 4G, Evo 3D and Epic Touch 4G days.

A special shout out to my favorite troll...riggsandroid! What's up buddy? Still trolling? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
They could always flash twrp from clockwork then put push these files over
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It would be helpful if you gave information other than the word Failed.

Unless Sprint users do not want custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
Thanks man. I was finally able to get adb to recognize me while in recovery. Not sure why it wasn't doing so yesterday but everything is good now. I thought the nand would have .imgs in it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
I gave him excat info in irc I just don't want others downloading

Yea thats what I think to. The extract-files.sh is supposed to extract files that aren't on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That and the phone is identified as toroplus, yet AOSP identifies it as torospr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paleryder:
with all that said i wonder how the new EVO 4G LTE will compare (wait or not)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Wtf...I believe my G-Wallet/NFC is gone bad and based on what I've been reading I'm gonna have to get a new phone.

I flashed the Android that was posted, tried to log into G Wallet and got some message about Secure Element Not Responding. All the infoni found about this states that I have to get a new phone...so I'll be up at sprint in the morning with everyone else....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Help pls

I go into fastboot mode, phone boots and is ready i type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-toroplus-2.1.2.img and wont load ..I used -toro.img and wont load..Will somebody pls help me with this very simple thing plss. Im all outa tks today, but will most def hook you up tomorrow.. :confused:

(Was trying to switch from cwm to twrp recovery tks)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Secure Element errors = game over. You can try restoring a nandroid if you have it and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
Was that my fault? Because he used my nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I don't know. I am not sure if anyone other than Google knows what kills the Secure Element. On my first Nexus, it died on the second day, and I had not used anyone's Nandroid. Some people that are 100% stock have their SE die. My current one has a good Element that refuses to die.

I just know that in some cases, restoring a Nandroid will fix a Secure Element.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Naw..its not your fault...stuff happens. So don't worry about it. Hopefully sprint will give me another one. If not, I'll drive to another sprint store.

Do anyone know how I can relock the bootloader if I'm on his stock nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Because im rooted i cant use google wallet? Is there a fix for this? Says unsupported device. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wordlywisewiz:
You can
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Unsupported doesn't mean won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
JBQ says our gnex will get no AOSP love :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I had problems texting for about 3 hours after rooting - I could get texts - but I could not send them - for no apparent reason, texting capabilities came back - so now, I have everything I had before I rooted - or so it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You misunderstood. He is just saying that it will not be supported anymore than Verizon's will be. As such, he will not elaborate on details.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
If you go to QB KINGS You Tube channel and find his instructions for ROOTING the SAMSUNG NEXUS - those are the exact steps I followed and it worked for me. He makes it very simple - there are several seperate videos he has created - first to unlock the phone - then to root - and he offers links and step by step video instructions for everything.

I realize his video is for the Verizon Nexus LT but just the same - it worked for me and several others I have seen posted here.

Good luck

I have not tried to buy anything with GOOGLE Wallet - but I did set it up on my phone after rooting and I was able to do it succussfully - I will try to buy something tomorrow to see if it really works -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyea:
I came across this when searching on torospr. This doesn't sound good for sprint galaxy nexus rom development.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umerien:
I know this is exclusively sprint Gnex forum so can someone with knowledge help us noobs learn about rooting and flashing. From what I know verizon's gnex may or may not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I had that problem when I first tried rooting - I discovered that I had put a \ at the end of the Environmental Variables when I was editing "Path" and shoud have just had a ; when I typed in the folder where I had the file was flashing.

This was the first time I ever used ADB to push anything to my phone so it really took me a long time to figure it out - but the message you are getting is exactly waht I got - so I wonder if you entered something wrong in the path ?

I have to be careful trying to give advice here - I am a noob when it comes to this stuff - so forgive me if I sound stupid - just thought it might help to look at that -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
Yeah..that's what I figured. I went back to my nandroid and attempted to log into G-Walllet and it just stayed on the "Initializing your device" screen.

Can I just revert back to the stock nandroid and run the fastbook command to re-lock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
DO you mean GOOGLE Wallet should work for me? I wonder why I have seen so many say they can't use GOOGLE Wallet after rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
In my situation after rooting, I was able to setup my G-Wallet account but I was not able to add the Google prepaid card. I flashed the nandroid that was posted. After It finished flashing it, I attempted to log into G-Wallet and that's when I when I got the "Secure Element" error message.

Another thing that is happening also is that when I Go Into Network Settings,the screen goes black and the phone immediately freezes up and closes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
This is going to sound dumb, but it won't be the first time -

Can I simply move this file to my Nexus by dragging the file to the "Neux" Drive on my Laptop? or Do i need to push this file using ADB ?

I have CWM installed - so for me, the easiest thing to do would be to copy it to my phone by dragging the file to that drive - then boot into recovery and flash it with CWM? Will that work or do I need to push it using ADB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastert33:
Someone posted that this doesn't boot...I wouldn't flash this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Where?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hoopsdavis:
I was able to set it up and add the Google Prepaid card and received free $10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:
Wow!! That really blows!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Thanks - I was tempted - I need to be more patient - LOL -

But to my question - I can just drag things to my Nexus right? Was ADB really just needed for Rooting the phone and getting CWM installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:
This means no AOSP roms for torospr... no binaries means you cannot compile from source...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emd2009:
Does Google release binaries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Negative Nancy!

It just means it will take a bit more work. We already have the binaries. Thats why I asked for a system dump yesterday. There are other issues to work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
Sprint LTE galaxy nexus team EOS test build

Download

Everything works except telephony. In other words, radio is down. Ill keep working on radio and I'm close. Maybe somebody will see something I missed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:
This means no ROMs before an OTA then right? You need the OTA to extract the binaries...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
For what it is worth, we were able to get calls working in IRC on AOSP.

Edit: False alarm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Overstew:
I apologize if it's been mentioned. Is there a safe way to stay on stock and root? I'm familiar with fast boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
56 pages and this isn't in the CDMA forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
I read it in this thread - a few pages back - and a few more before that - It looked like the "Secure element" went bad or something killing GOOGLE Wallet - and unless I am grossly mistaken, I thought they indicated it happened when they rooted - I may be mistaken about that - or maybe they could only fix it by going back to stock?

Oh well, doesn't matter - for me - it looks like it is working -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Secure Element going bad is fatal yeah, but it is not caused by rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranmasaotome510:
upon further investigation, i thought google wallet was not going to work with root. However!, i

fastboot oem lock

'ed it back and bam, wallet works again, and its still rooted.

i did this at work, and tested it on our POS at The Shack (since we have the NFC readers) and it worked, i loaded the $10 on a gift card i am stashing for future phone purchase (Evo 4G LTE)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
i can't give you the instructions personally - but go to YOU TUBE and search for QB King's Videos on ROOT Samgsung Nexus - he has step by step video instrucitons - links - etc. Worked for me and lots of others.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joypunk:
Restored this backup with TWRP 2.1.2 and my phone still says "No sim card" and has no cell reception.

Any ideas? Try restoring again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Anyone?

EDIT: oops, read the post on last page. TY
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Yes - I have the Sprint GNEX - I got it yesterday - rooted it last night - I had never used ADB before, so it was a little tricky for me when I first started - but watching the videos from QB King made it easy - even though his instructions were for the Verizon Nexus - it worked fine - I did have an issue originally with the first Superuser File I flashed (Su.ZIP) that someone posted - it didn't work for me - but I found another one that had alonger title (sorry, can't remember where I found it) and it worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Did you wipe data after?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joypunk:
Yes.

Just restored again, wiped data again, and still thinks I need a sim card.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
What kernels have you guys tested?

My camera quality is great I must say, even when on the computer and zoomed in, don't know what all the bs is about.

I figured out the issue with Wallet. If you activate wallet and then "oem unlock" which resets your phone, you have caused an issue with your account and when you try to add your prepaid card you get an error that the card cannot be added. The only way to fix this is to call wallet and get money network to reset your account.

If you plan on using wallet, do so after you have ran "oem unlock" and the phone as been reset. You will have no issues then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
ok so got the one click flasher, got some guys in irc testin it out. if i get teh green light ill be posting :)

its not a true stock as its pre-rooted so ill need someone who hasnt rooted to stop on by at some point and get me what i need but its better than what youve got flashing verizon roms ;P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheddaface:
My Google wallet has my card attached with the free 10 bucks but at the top it says unsupported device and just gives a warning saying you should not use wallet if you have root. I can still use my wallet right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Yes. My issue is I activated before I wiped and now my account wont even let me add the card I added originally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shabbypenguin:
any brave adventurers?

http://www.shabbypenguin.com/ACS/devices/Samsung/Sprint/GNexus/Stock/Stock-Odex.zip

please make a backup before attempting :)

ps this is cwm flashable, has stock odex'd system and stock kernel no root included, just wanted to get people up and running again :)

Getting mine today, can't wait. Couple of questions.

If I am reading right the cases that work for the verizon nexus will fit ours? Looking at the black matte diztronic case.

We can flash kernals that are under the cdma/verizon development section? I know not to flash the roms.

So happy to be back on a nexus after parting with my nexus s 4g for a couple of months to a ET4G. ET4G I gave to my wife is a awesome phone but I like Nexus better in general.

Ouch.

Although, I hate all of them. I've had FedEx drive up to my place, say I am not there on status and drive off without ever checking.

Fed ex sux!! I agree. Funny cuz I live in Houston area and they are same way. They have never once brought a package to me without me having to go get it from the nearest office!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yeahthatsme:
FedEx and UPS are good in my area and their online tracking is fantastic.

I suppose the mystery shipping will add to the anticipation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Oh, their online tracking is top notch. Thats how I found out the FedEx driver marked me not being there when they drove up. I saw them, and the status change. I had to call in and ***** to get my package delivered.

Bastards.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Dont forget about getting us a system dump; whoever gets it :)

Easiest way would be unlocking and flashing or temp flashing clockwork and making a nandroid.

Otherwise, its a PITA because there is no cp command available to adb on stock roms (unless you push busybox) and dd requires root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] journeyman73:
This... USPS tracking has never been that great for me either, but they do deliver on Saturdays though for no extra charge. Looks like I'll have mine tomorrow as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Yes, I added my prepaid card before I unlocked and Wallet functions perfectly.

Yes, you can flash kernels. I am testing the Jame Bond kernel right now. As far as ROMS, I flashed AOKP B32 and it worked but no cell service. That seems to be the problem with most of the ROMS right now. I'm sure all the devs will get it sorted out soon.
