ah... ok thank you

then i will install ICS again and start all over again.

Thank you!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You don't need to start all over again.

SDE is still enabled after you update your firmware to a new official version.

You can just copy the custom firmware to /data/media (for flash model) or /mnt/storage (for HDD model) and reboot.

It will install the firmware.

After that, go into SDE, remove Android Kernel and you're done :)

When i first got my phone back from repair i wanted to use download mode to put the CWM in and flash it. But when i first did it it started a download process is it normal?

2.3.6
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
What download process exactly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
In the middle

" Downloading ....

Do not turn off target"

It has some writing on the top left too would you like to know what it says?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
nothing is downlading...it by default shows like that...when you start download from ODIN you can see the WRITING PROCESS TIMELINE under that logo

Could you please elaborate how do you put the CWM in while on the Download mode
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yep, as above. That is download mode. Now your try to connect to Odin (kill lies first). Edit: kies not lies (stupid Swype) :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
Oh Im just following these instructions.

- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start ODIN

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar

- Put your phone in download mode

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure repartition is NOT checked

- Click the START button

- Wait for the phone to reboot

Im sorry its just my first time doing anything like this xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
yes instruction is correct,

Make sure dirvers are installed, Kies to be killed,

once you connected the phone to PC (connect to mother board USB socket backside)

the ID:COM box will be highlighted in yellow, and in the message box you can see "added"

Good luck...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
Do you kill kies first then go into download mode?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
doesnt matter
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
Thanks. So i made sure i had drivers for my phone. I go into download mode without phone in. I start ODIN on pc then plug it in (my phone that is) but the ID:COM doesnt change. Am i doing something wrong?

OVer: 1.85
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Odin must identify your phone first like said above..

uninstall the Kies, download the latest version from Samsung install after a PC reboot, after install reboot PC, (kill means not unistall, close the applicaion, also check in your system tray)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Ensure USB debugging is on (checked) on settings first so Odin well recognise. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
Thank you that was the missing piece! Kies for PC lol! So how do i know if my phone was successfully rooted?

I dont think i had debugging on. How do i know if its on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
if you have successfully flashed correct CF-root from ODIN, thats it, next is your duty to google for rooted applications.....

@ UpInTheAir : for my knowledge if I am not correct,

Download mod itself is a debugging mode, not essenstial to do it from Menu...

the people who did not enable the debugging mod and bricked the phone or stuck on boot logo have been flashing ROMs by enterin into download mod without any treble...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renren1403:
@ZACQ8

Thanks i installed a custom rom now and its working fine and dandy.

One last question. Could you point me to where i can find how to check flash counter and reset it? and re flashing stock roms increase flash counter? or really how do i get everything ready so i can return my phone to repair if the time calls?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
to reset counter you need a Jig and old bootloader to flash, if the current one is new...

I will just borrow Mistahbungle's posts here dont forget to thank him..

[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
I didn't realize that the wire I was using was a little sharp on one end. As you can see, this can do bad things to the PCB.

My phone is rebooting the instant I touch the wire to ground, so I don't know if I am going to be able to do the wire trick. )= We shall see.

I ended up taking the back case off of my phone so I could have better access. It does make it a little easier:
[HTC Rezound] Quada:
Good catch. This should be kept at the top for people to see. How hard was the wire you used?
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
What wire did you use?
[HTC Rezound] maqsur:
I tried a clipped old cat5 cable but found it too flimsy. Switched to a plain small paperclip and was successful.
[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
It was a 22awg jumper wire. I guess I had clipped it at some point so it formed a sharp tip. The wire itself is fairly soft even.

My hands shake a bunch so just the sharp tip and trying to keep a firm connection was probably all it took.
[HTC Rezound] Nopi45:
Just plane old speaker wire worked for me. (For people who look at this later)
[HTC Rezound] nolimitzr2:
I took a plastic ended wall tack wrapped some speaker wire tight for the pin 1 hole then did the same for other end to tap the ground. Pretty precise for me looks good on the pcb over here
[HTC Rezound] dogswind:
Seriously? I could have just used a paper clip? -facepalm-
[HTC Rezound] baker954:
Yep. That's what I used. A paperclip, and wrapped it in clear tape from a desk dispenser so I didn't have any static electricity. :)
[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
IF anyone does happen to be as clumsy as me you will be happy to know that you can lift up the motherboard and there is a large pad on the bottom you can use instead of the tiny dot.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
I found that a small piece of coax cable works well.

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I used solid core Cat-5.

Got it on the first try! :)

How do you destroy a PCB with a little wire? :)
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
I kind of gathered from the main thread that it's supposed to do that, and that they want the second contact 1.75 seconds into the reboot.

How hard were you pressing on that wire, anyway? I would think it took a little time and effort to do this damage.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Lol. I tried that but the Cat 5 in my house was all stranded copper.

[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
How hard were you pushing? Even with a sharpened point, you would still have to push pretty hard to scrape like that.
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
A 6 inch piece of household stranded speaker wire worked great for me. Fits into pin 1 hole kind of tight and is easier to hit the contact.
[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
Lol. Not very hard. It wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't.

Actually, I was just looking at it some more and I am starting to think it was already like that before I did anything. I just tried to purposefully scratch another spot and I couldn't do it.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I used a paperclip myself. Only problem I had at first was keeping contact with the first connection before hitting the ground. Found a bigger paper clip with less wiggle and problem solved.
[HTC Rezound] eriscentro:
Hopefully big red doesn't use this against us if we send the device in.
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
What do you mean? Having access to S-Off no means we can put our phones back into a "Locked" status that now doesn't show you tampered with it. Meaning you should be able to return your phone and even if they check to see if you unlocked it they won't be able to tell.
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
i think he's referring to pcb board damage.
[HTC Rezound] eriscentro:
I'm referring to the scraped PCB
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
:p
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I used a long cat hair I pulled out of the cat, and then dipped into Aluminum to make it conductive. Worked great without any scratching though the cat was a bit pissed off.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
I used ipod cable, cut both ends off n twisted the wires together

Can't think of a better use for i-anything. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
So if your like me you got your Sprint Galaxy Nexus, opened up Wallet and activated it to get your $10 and waiting for that $40 to come through. Well after you unlock your bootloader it wipes your phone out. Well some time between then and the initial activation your account becomes stuck.

You reboot and you go to activate Google Wallet again and you see "Unauthorized Device" which doesn't really mean anything but after you try to add the prepaid Google card again it says "Error adding card".

The only solutions I have found thus far to avoid/fix this is:

1) Unlock the bootloader BEFORE you activate wallet, this will work fine for you and you won't have this issue.

2) Go into Google Wallet Settings > Reset Google Wallet Account then unlock the bootloader

3) Call up google wallet, have them connect you with Money Network and request that your account be reset. They will ask if you are rooted or not and ask for your MEID and will submit a ticket to have someone look at it and determine if it should be reset.

Money Network Direct Number - 855-896-0693

I am currently waiting to have mine reset but just a PITA so if you have already activated your google wallet you can probably expect this to happen.

If anyone else has found any other solutions please respond. Other than creating a new account I do not see another way to fix this. I have cleared data etc and reset google wallet account via app, none of that works.

[EDIT] I even relocked the bootloader and removed root, still couldn't get my card to add. I think some poeple's accounts are getting stuck and some aren't.

Screenshot:

http://db.tt/qm0kx7aK

*EDIT* After getting on the phone with Money Network and having them put in a ticket for the account reset my Wallet is fixed. This means your account is stuck in an infinite loop of adding the card.

Thanks,

Mike
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranmasaotome510:
i just relocked the bootloader, still retained root somehow, mightev been because i flashed it through cwm recovery.

and bam, wallet works again. i tested it yesterday by adding those 10 bux to my radioshack gift card at work on our pos system, and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
I locked my bootloader again and removed root and I still couldn't add my prepaid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
I have a question to see if anyone else has done this. After I activated my phone but did not setup up any Google account info, I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader but did flash CWM or root. With the bootloader unlocked I activated my Google account and the Google wallet. Everything has worked so far, even adding a prepaid card. My question is if I flash su/root from CWM now will I lose my Google Wallet? I do not have to unlock the bootloader as I did that first but have yet to flash root. Anyone have any ideas. I may just wait till I can use the $50 then flash root to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krichek:
No you won't if all you are doing is rooting. On the other hand anytime you do something like what the OP did and it involves resetting your device, you need to go into the wallet app and select "Remove card" for any cards you have added. If you don't you run the risk of having the problem the OP has or worse the dreaded secure element error which at this point is currently unfixable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
So you are saying that since I had already unlocked the bootloader before I activated Google Wallet I should be fine after I flash su/root from recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Yes you should be fine. Hopefully people will see this and not do as I did, mine is still not fixed. I will have to keep calling Money Network and hope they do something about it. I will keep this thread updated if they do fix it and how I did it. I need my $50 :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
Good luck on getting this fixed. I hope that Google comes up with a better way of running Google Wallet

because there are a lot of users that will root their device and still want to keep using G Wallet.

Sure it might be a security risk but it is one the the user should have to face on his on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Root isn't to blame, you can use while rooted. It's the fact that not removing the card or account from your phone before resetting after unlock just messes up the account. I guess it thinks it's still active so you can't add a card that is already active. So money network has to reset it.

Added phone number to Money Network Direct Number - 855-896-0693
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
So you are saying that it is the Factory reset of the device during the unlocking of the bootloader that is causing the problem.

Just having su is installed/flashed does not cause any problem.

If I understand you correctly if you deactivate you card/account before the unlock the bootloader

then you might be ok, as you would have to create a new account when you start back up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
The problem isn't the unlocking or rooting of your phone. The problem is that when you flash another rom or wipe/reset the device you are supposed to use the reset option in Google wallet in order for you to be able to reactivate the card after you have flashed. Using the search tool in xda will show you that there are a bunch of threads where people have this same problem and the only way to avoid it is to back up the app+data and/or make a nandroid and try restoring that way(if you are running into errors). But for future references always use the reset button. I myself reset and activate without issue. The error is in no way a flaw in their system. What you're doing can be basically compared to having a regular debit card. Activating it and then trying to activate it again. Obviously problems will arise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Exactly. This was confirmed by Money Network that it was stuck in an infinite loop trying to add the card.

So now it is fixed!

Are we already enrolled in the $50 promo from Sprint/Google??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Yes, when you activate Google Wallet on your GNex they MEID is recorded and then that is what Sprint will go by to deposit the $40 onto your Prepaid Google Card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
this 100%....... verizon/sprint/gsm it doesnt matter. I dont care if you are flashing a rom, unlocking your device or rooting it. please for the love of god reset the damn app before doing anything at all otherwise risk murdering your wallet as the thing is prone to die from breathing on it too heavily from the pure enjoyment you have from seeing cashiers freak out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
I won't have my replacement/new GN till later this afternoon, so I can't check this myself. My GW/nfc is so corrupted/destroyed that I can't even go into Settings>More Options because it will not open. The screen turns black, freezes and force closes.

So with all that said, when people say you have to reset the GW app, do the app itself have a reset feature or do you mean go into setting>apps>GW> and wipe data/cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Reset it from within wallet. There's an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
That doesn't work for this issue. I was on the phone and issued a reset and they told me the system couldn't see it with this error.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I know it wont fix the issue it prevents it. Supposed to do it before wiping /resetting roms. Some asked which way you're supposed to reset it. Via the app - not clearing data in app manager.

What if you had a Nexus S 4G ???

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unomar:
Sorry to bring back an older thread, but I had a question about the funds on the google wallet prepaid card. If you reset and re-activate the wallet do the funds remain or should I drain the card and root then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plmiller0905:
They remain on the card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyheli:
I dont know if this is related, but when I changed from my Nexus s 4G to my Gnex. The funds that were in the Nexus S 4G were not transfered. My daughter has that phone. she logged in with her account but nothing showed up. I am thinking to log in with my G-account and see what happens..... I am curious if the money I had there shows up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Call the money network and have them transfer your balance. (855) 896-0693
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KEYofR:
and sometimes the servers are just down

I read the warnings about resetting google wallet luckily before I ever had any cards activated. So I was careful to reset the app anyways before rooting, and, I didn't even do a full bootloader unlock yet anyways, just the regular root that gets su and busybox installed using adb without flashing anything.

Yet I still can't add the google prepaid card.

Called money network and it turns out the service is just down right now.

So don't necessarily freak out even if it _looks_ like you screwed up something because you rooted/flashed/reset etc.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] graphic1982:
so i recently traded my epic 4g touch for a gnex and tried unsuccessfully to activate google wallet. Called money network and they tell me flat out that they will not support rooted devices. I guess i should've lied and told them it wasn't rooted. They also told me that in the total history of the device, 3 accounts had been linked to it and they lock it after that so no more accounts can be added. He told me i may be able to call google and they might issue me a new device, but since its rooted, Money Network will not support it as is, at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] secretsofdiffusion:
I just got off the phone with Money Networks and they called back a little later and left a voice message leaving me high and dry

Has this happened to anyone else?

EDIT: Oh, lol. Should have read the previous poster's message... It seems from other sites that it will lock your Google Wallet if you do a factory reset so that's a good lie to tell them..

Double Edit: I spoke with this guy and he said that should Google Wallet discover that the phone is rooted, it will not ever allow the MEID to work with GW again. I'm not sure if he's just saying that so that I can't do anything about it or whatnot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810282 This thread gives a cracked GW for use with root phones.
