If you weren't planning on unlocking the bootloader an root it maybe you should never have got a galaxy nexus an got iPhone or something that doesn't need to be modified to receive updates.Android phones are well know for being slow at getting updates from their respective carriers or missing out altogether unless their rooted an flashed with latest stock or custom roms , its more a developers phone an for techy people who like to customize an modify things.People who complain about not getting updates should either root their phone or return it.Most people have been on 4.0.4 since march 2012.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
The Nexus phones are the only phones providing a stock Android experience out of the box, that is, how Google wanted Android to be.

Rooting and unlocking is optional, and for those who want it. All that yakju** mess was unnecessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
True but I know if I was unrooted on galaxy nexus here in Australia I would still be stuck with ics 4.0.1 stock even though it is now june -10- 2012 today an still no update since last december when it launched ,we have yet to receive any ics updates because we don't get them direct from Google like most but from our carrier providers here an they keep everyone waiting an in the dark an keep saying their still testing the updates before releasing them ota which is nonsense, I think they must be waiting for jellybean or sum sh$t ridiculous like that.More an more people are returning galaxy nexus phones in countries like mine because we don't get the updates we should normally ota, its quite a shame really but that's what's happening.If you buy an iPhone there's no carrier interference with updates everyone gets them at the same time globally through apple why so different for android nexus phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure why you keep hammering away about being "rooting". Getting root has nothing to do with flashing a generic Google stock ROM -- there is no need to root to flash yakju. There is no need to root to get prompt updates either.

Just like an iPhone, you can fully re-install the stock firmware (via iTunes), which is exactly what you do when you unlock the bootloader and flash yakju (via fastboot). Has absolutely nothing to do with root or modifying your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
When I meant root I was meaning unlocked bootloader as well which you need to do.The yakju ota update still doesn't work for ota updates here it will only get you onto 4.0.2 here.You still have to manually install to get yakju 4.0.4 an its easier just to flash 4.0.4 using cwm than to do that.You understand why people just root an skip all that unesassary bullsh#t plus gain root features.Going from yakjudv which is what my version is to yakju using your method still voids your warranty so what's are the advantages over just flashing 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I still don't fully understand what you are trying to say. Everything that you talk about can be done without root, and be fully stock on the device for those who want it.

As for "my" method, if you are talking about this, then that IS just flashing 4.0.4, so I don't understand what you are comparing it to? To be able to get future updates, just unlock the bootloader, and flash a yakju build. Nothing more, nothing less. No root, no CWM, no whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
If your going to the trouble of unlocking bootloader you may as well root is what I'm saying as cwm makes flashing a whole lot easier than using a computer an for backups ect titanium for example can restore your whole system in minutes ect whenever you update os.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
You raise an interesting point. The iPhone seems to be the exception to the rule that carriers enforce their terms all the time. It's a shame this wasn't done for the Nexus line.

Also the plain yakju build seems to work everywhere. There's really no reason to have different builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAG:
Yes... it is a mystery why there are different builds but the carriers likely have something to do with it.

I'm in Canada and many of us are still on 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 in June!

Last month I got fed up and unlocked my bootloader, then installed 4.0.4 using efrant's tutorial. Very painless, worked like a charm. Despite the phone being wiped most data like photos, contacts and WiFi passwords were saved to the cloud. Even most Apps installed again on their own, and installing the rest was no big deal, the Play Store remembers what you paid for. The only hassle was having to redo all my email accounts.

4.0.4 is so much nicer in ways that have already been discussed, but for me the improved appearance of the display is very much appreciated. On Auto it doesn't get as dim as before so the "linen" appearance is reduced or eliminated, and yet it is not too bright even in total darkness. Also the quicker rotate is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I'm a bit perplexed as to just what purpose this thread is supposed to serve? Is someone trying to start a support group for unhappy GN users? If I were that unhappy I would try taking some positive action like getting a different phone. No phone platform is going to please all of the people who buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zebra333:
I actually bought the Nexus for the same reason : to have the latest android version without wasting time rooting and flashing the phone, but I ended of flashing a custom rom (AOKP/Franco kernel) anyway for two major reasons :

- better performance

- much much better battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbutt:
This. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yup, totally agree with you here. However, not everyone needs root, and not everyone needs CWM.

If you are on a non-yakju or non-takju build, yes, but if you are running yakju, you get updates pretty darn quickly, faster than most devices, if not all.

Utterly not true. Since when? Maybe in Australia, but in Canada, it was certainly positioned as a mass-market phone. So many advertisements on TV and in print for the GNex.

You mean if you still had a locked bootloader, not "unrooted", right? Not to sound like a stickler, but comments like yours confuse n00bs into thinking that unlocking and rooting are the same. You do not have to root when you unlock, and you do not have to unlock when your root (unless you are running 4.0.4).

No need to unlock the bootloader if you want root unless you are running 4.0.4 or higher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
Galaxy nexus in Australia is fairly non existant, they do show commercials for it at beginning of release then stopped now its the S3 ads or the usual apple.A t my workplace about 95% have iPhones the rest have S2 ,htc, low end android phone or nokia. I'm the only person with nexus an that's out of 300 people or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I saw no advertising for it here in Portugal. No one seemed to know about it, except crack flashers - even so, their attention was already focused in s3 rumours, since most are using s2, which is a great phone, but lacks aosp support as we know.

even the SGS3 is also getting the 4.0.4 update. Hard luck for non-yakju builds. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madphone:
A friend of mine, who used a stock samsung rom (i think it was jvt) with a rooted kernel received an mms which didn't want to display the picture. he clicked a couple of times on it nad then everything began:

- First problem, the phone froze and then it was stuck on boot loop. That was when he called me and asked for help. i adviced him to do a full wipe and try again, no success.

- than i told him to mount his internal sd card, to put a rom on it and flash it. but his pc didn't recognize it.

- i told him to put it on his external sd. I knew, flashing from external sd could cause some problems, but it helped me sometimes. everything went fine. phone booted up, but asked for a pin and displayed something like "encryption failed". So it adviced him to wipe, what didn't help

-the next they i got his phone. First thing i tried was to flash a 3file-stock rom, but it ended with a dbdata errer after installation, so it bootlooped again. Then i tried to install dozens of roms, with repartition, without repartition, a one zip-rom, only the missing dbdata. nothing helped.

- my last attempt was to flash an older froyo rom, which i flashed with pit and repartition. Now recovery and download mode are gone. only thing it does is dislpaying "galaxy s" and turing off again.

long story short: the phone is totally bricked now and i have no idea what to do?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androidboss7:
Its not totally bricked cause it turns on. :)

Buy a JIG and connect to phone then download will appear

flash stock rom then get warranty if still not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madphone:
thanks, so i hope i'll get the jig soon. what would you flash then?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androidboss7:
i would flash stock using odin. then if that works root, flash custom and etc.

If the flashing fails then just fix it from support or try again with JIG.

If u fully stuff up your phone and it doesn't even turn on, go to samsung

and say it stuffed up while u were updating it and hopefully they will fix it for you!

:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madphone:
ok so that's what i'll do. any suggestion which specific ROM i should flash? One file rom or 3 file roms? Gingerbread or froyo? do i have to flash a fresh bootloader?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androidboss7:
To be honest i'm kinda new with rooting and etc on the SGS, but luckily had heaps of experience on my other android phone.

Well if i was you i would do some research on how to unbrick bricked phones, there should be heaps of vidoes on youtube.

Then i would ask here, then do pray that everything will go well and flash stock rom with ODIN. Well i would prefer GingerBread but it doesn't matter which one.

But if it does stuff up flashing Froyo would be better so you can make the excuse of updating to GingerBread and stuffing up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sasakocic:
Have you tried odin? Does it recognize the phone when you are in download mode? If you cannot go into download mode, find a usb jib for i9000 (cca 10e) and you will get into download mode. Then flash some XXJVU with odin. After that try Slim ICS 3.0 works flawlessly for me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madphone:
so this is going to get even more weird:

suddenly the phone started on its own and booted, but i was almost not responding and it was russian i think. then i removed the sd and it didn't want to boot anymore. when i reinsert the sd it boots, but only with this specific sd.

so i decided to make myself a jig to get into download mode. that was no problem, so i flashed jvq with odin. everything went fine, no errors anymore right after flashing. the phone restarted but it wasn't responsive like before. so i flashed again, this time without sd card. but now after flashing there ere some erros like "can't mount media...)

result: the phone won't boot up anymore?

something must have linked the sd card to the phone. to you have any idea? maby flashing bootloaders?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madphone:
i have flashed dbdata cause it was still mentioned as missing in the error report right after flashing. result: completely bricked phone. It stays off, no jig helps anymore...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OmarPlus:
Read broodplanks guide to unbrick i9001, may work on ur phone. Or try another sd card, unplug the battery, try everything..

Btw what's ur friends phone? I9000 ?

So I tried the juopunutbear method to get s-off. I got partway through, then got this error:

[1] Segmentation fault su -c "/data/loc...
Quit....
Press ENTER to exit.....

My phone now won't get past the bootloader. It just sits on the black screen with a picture of the phone and a green arrow.

I also seem to have lost clockworkmod.

Any ideas on what to do here?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HappyKhicken:
Looks like I got it fixed. Thanks for trying to help me out xmc, I appreciate it.

From what I can tell with my limited Android knowledge, something was up with the boot file. Whenever I used fastboot to flash a new boot.img it fixed it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HappyKhicken:
The funny thing is the part I was worried about was shorting out the SD slot. This error happened way before I could even get to that point.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
Ugh, run control bear with -r command line argument

Load up cmd or terminal, goto the directory where control bear is, and type

controlbear -r

and it will restore your boot.img >.>

Segmentation fault has nothing to do with the exploit, it's that adb is borking itself.

Hello guys,

I tried finding this but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm using ARHD 6.6.3 XE and I want to install a costum boot animation. only I can't find any of the folders that are needed for this using ES file explorer with root acces through SU permission.

can't find any these folders:

data/local

data/drm directory

system/media dir

the bootanimation mods linked from ARHD 6.6.3 thread say:

"mount /data/local as RW"

Quite frankly, I don't know what 'mounting' means in this situation. do I have to create that folder? I honestly don't think so cause ARHD has a default bootanimation wich I can't find.

Also, I tried looking for a 'noob' guide for installing bootanimation in ARHD, but so far no luck.

can anyone help me locate the current bootanimation in ARHD 6.6.3 XE?

tnx

I just received samsung focus, which I bought from ebay. It is still locked to AT&T & I am using it without SIM as of now.

When I connected, it was searching for 3 drivers, but it failed to find & installed only one driver. Could be the problem ? From device manager I tried to load drivers from C:/Program Files/Zune, but Windows not able to find them.

Where can I find drivers ?

I tried different USB ports with different USB cables. Still no success. I also checked from diagnosis mode & it is selected to Zune Sync.

Thank you very much in advance :)

Dear All,

As I was reading the threads in HOX and HOX XL, I was wondering how many HOX owners actually use their phones to make phone calls and how many minutes do you use each day?

Further, who are you from the below list:

1. How many are students with/without jobs?

2. How many are adults with full-time jobs and actually use the phone to make calls?

3. What is your daily "routine" normal usage?

Why I ask is our battery levels would deplete at a faster rate when using the phone for calls rather than surf the net, download apps etc..
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Your title is troll-ish but your post wasn't. Suggest changing title to how many minutes of calls do you make.

I'm in category 2. I use about 20-30 mins on calls a day.
