I have flashed the kernel and restoring the nandroid now.. will post my feedback

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

K, it appears there is no 3G signal, only 2G. However wifi does work now on DHCP. Again dont know why but the wifi and 2G bars are white (not fond of that) One down.... awesome DoomLord!!:D
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Personally, I just said to H*** with the whole thing. Leave it to Verizon to release a year old Android Version as a "new" update. And one that breaks GTalk.

Gingerbread is Gingerbread. Give me ICS or give me dea... ok, that's a little too extreme. Just give me ICS (with CDMA 3G data support)!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I have to totally agree with you, I mean they have held onto the 2.3.4 since Oct.... I mean did someone at Verizon sit down on it and know one took notice it was stuck to someones butt until now? And with ICS so close I mean what the hell VZ!! Seriously this 2.3.4 is a year old.. and we are getting it as a NEW update which is seriously done half a$$ed...... but that is VZ. I sure cant wait until my contract is up and I am going to tell them to kiss off
[Xperia Play Android Development] toppdogg93:
yea im wondering too
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
anyone else test it? are you also having same issues?
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes it's rooted.
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
I'm sorry this is a total noob question but how am I to go about using this on my never rooted and now 2.3.4 r800x. Thanks for any advice
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
If you've never rooted, I'm guessing you're not unlocked. If your bootloader is not unlocked, you can't use it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
well that's disappointing
[Xperia Play Android Development] kelvenha55:
Can he still unlock via testpoint method on 2.3.4?
[Xperia Play Android Development] paxChristos:
Probably
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
Ok, so I know I'm a new member here, but just trust me on this. I'm trying to gain some reputability.

1. Download the Verizon 2.3.4 nandroid.

2. Flash Doomlord's V14

GSM

kernel in fastboot mode. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176502

3. Launch clockwork.

4. Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, as well as Dalvik Cache.

5. Restore the 2.3.4 nandroid.

6. Boot up the system. You will have 3g ;)

7. Go to the play store.

8. Download the CWM auto installer.. and install CWM 5 or whatever it is. (The recovery that is built in on this Kernel will not install the next file you need for some reason.)

9. Now install the Doomkernel

CDMA

v02 wifi modules via clockwork. http://icxperia.com/doomlord/play/cdma-dk-02/PLAY-CDMA-DooMKernel-v02-modules_CWM.zip

^ I realize this is a strange process and it seems unlikely, but trust me, it works 98%. The camera app no longer force closes... however note Taking pictures with the back facing (good) camera will freeze upon shutter snapshot for some reason. However, the front facing camera works perfectly. Video recording is completely functional however, even in the 720p mode. (if someone could find a way to fix the back facing camera, this would be 100% functional :D )

ALL THANKS GO TO DOOMLORD:), I WAS SIMPLY BEING EXPERIMENTAL.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
I did the install and have 2.3.4 running just fine. Thanks netizenmt for the nandroid! The only problem is the camera crashes. Is there any chance I could get the camera.apk from someone that has it working on theirs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
Use the guide I just posted above... Flash the GSM kernel ... if you have an unlocked bootloader.. installing a different camera apk will not work... It's a kernel issue.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
God you think some people would read the thread before posting. Face palm. Thanks worked like a charm. The only thing I noticed is if you try to switch to the GSM kernel from the CDMA kernel you will need to wipe everything.

Edit: I had to use the GSM wifi module for the wifi to work. I started with the CDMA like you suggested but crashed every time I tried to turn the wifi on. I was also able to install the modules using dooms cwr.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

Another thing. My normal camera acts like it takes a picture but it freezes like yours. The only difference is it doesn't save the pic so the camera is still broken. But the front facing camera works just fine for me. The camera app doesn't freeze either when using it. Recording works just fine as well.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
Yeah, that is exactly how my camera is working as well... I'm about to try a little experiment to see if it fixes the problem.. if it does, I will upload a nandroid for you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
thanks for the advice. I don't have a computer at the moment but tomorrow I'll definitelytry this out
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
the link doesn't seem to be working for the 2.3.4 Nandroid. It loads for 2 sec them just stops. Anyone be able to send me it or a working link
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
The link worked for me just now. I misplaced my copy of the nandroid an just redownloaded it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
Ok yeah my bad. For some reason my computer didn't want to load
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm a tad confused by this thread. Is there any way to get to stock 2.3.4 (w/ root and overclock ability) from a CM9 rom and have everything work including camera/camcorder and wifi?

Have been jumping ROMS too long, and having to deal with questionable performance in games, which is why I got this device in the first place. Also if I do go back to a stock Verizon rom, has there been a way of tethering wirelessly found?
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
If you follow zachariahpope tutorial everything will work for you except the forward facing camera. The backwards facing camera and video recording works just fine. Still no word on a fix for this. The only thing you might need to change is instead of using the cdma wifi modules. You might need to use the gsm modules like I had to.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
That seems to have done the trick, I also used the GSM modules and have no trouble connecting to wifi. Everything works except wifi.

I also seem wireless tether for root users working by selecting the nexus one as device, setting up encryption and using adhoc mode. It says there is an error, and doesn't show usage stats. But most importantly, it works. :D

EDIT: Wow, space constraints. Does the dalvik hack work here?

Emus are playing great. FPSE seems to not let me get into the system menu to change options, but on a fresh install it plays perfectly like an original PSX and shows no keys on the screen, so it is definitely livable until I can find out what's up.

A final note, with stock roms and Doom's kernels it feels like everything is moving at a good speed from games to system navigation to I/O operations. Class work.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kelvenha55:
Open garden works for me. it uses ad hoc wireless connection, I believe. Rooted 2.3.4 locked BL.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
:confused: So the GSM wifi modules worked or didn't work?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Except back camera, sorry. Haha

And I am definitely going to stay put with this Rom. With an overclock to 1.7ghz I can play THPS2 in OpenGL mode with AA at 60fps with no sound skipping or frame dips. Holy Crap! also a debloat of system apps has brought my available RAM from a cold boot to 230MB. :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Here is a link to the 2.3.4 nandroid, the correct kernel, flashable wifi modules zip and instructions all in one file.

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS: Credit goes to netizenmt and DoomLord. just trying to make it easier for everyone.
[Xperia Play Android Development] kelvenha55:
Well this is embarrassing... When I tested open garden the other day, I just loaded up the xda site and figured it worked but when I needed to use it today it worked for like 5mins before I got the VZW redirect. sorry for the bad info. Lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully wireless tether wont have the same unfortunate end. You pay for data, why restrict the use?
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
ok well i got as far as to put my phone in fastboot through flashtool but when i try the .img it says it needs to be rooted first. any advice? (besides rooting it obviously)
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] greenskull13:
No my bootloader is still locked
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
In order for you to install this with a custome bootloader like doomkernel you will need to have your bootloader unlocked. Otherwise to just install the rom you need to have clockwork recovery installed. To do this you will need to root your phone. Go here. Once you have completed the install you can come back and run a nandroid restore using this backup.

Do this first if you can:

In fact if your phone is bone stock you should be able to ota it to 2.3.4.

Edit: Just noticed your from Denver. Weird weather were having hu.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
Is anyone else having issues with gmail syncing?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
Unfortunately the Gmail sync is COMPLETELY broken... I was able to FTF back to stock 2.32... then I let it upgrade to 2.33, then finally to 2.34... I don't know where it goes wrong, but that is everyone's main complaint about the 2..3.4 upgrade... Gmail sync gets completely broken somewhere. Verizon is really something, huh ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
I hate to say it but Im glad to hear this. I hate trying to fix a odd problem that no one else is having. It also doesn't bug me that bad since Im mostly home when I go through my email.

If Verizon doesn't pick up the ball here soon they might fine a butt load of people dropping them. Ive been able to stand there nonsense since I know how to change roms. But I know several people that cant stand there crap loaded phones. I can hear the boiling pot getting ready to boil over.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I noticed that Google Voice sync messes up. Can this be verified for a stock 2.3.3 r800x upgrading the legitimate way to 2.3.4? If so then that is absolutely pathetic on Verizon's part.

I notice that it syncs up when you go from wifi->3g and vice-versa. But never while steady on either connection.
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
Sorry Ive been away all weekend. Any word on a gmail sync fix yet?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
Yeah, I spoke to a couple of verizon reps.. they are "aware" of the problem AND "working hard" to fix it... and also, just so you all know, this 2.3.4 upgrade broke our phones and Verizon WILL send you a new one if you call and complain about the gmail/gtalk sync issue.. (as long as you are still under warranty.)
[Xperia Play Android Development] BrownEye02:
Well the sticker behind the battery has a giant tear through it from when I unlocked the bootloader. So I doubt they will take it. In fact I held one of the new ones and I hate them. There made with lighter and more fragile parts. So ill keep mine.

I figured Verizon was slaving away at a fix. Im just surprised no one here has cooked up a fix for it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zachariahpope:
They would take yours.. after all they took mine, and my back battery sticker was completely removed :D. Interestingly enough though, the new xperia play they sent me doesn't say verizon when you slide it up, it says Xperia.. does anyone else have an r800x like this??
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeanuC:
I need the 2.3.3 FTF.........Anyone?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
I got mine around the end of July, and it says Verizon :/

[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
Bestbuy called me around 12est to tell me my new one was ready kinda wondering which one I get. edit- nope I got a verizon one and they broke the volume keys. If I wasnt working tmr I would go yell at bestbuy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
The official download link for Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 has been discovered. Here's what you need to do in order to upgrade from stock 4.0.2 without needing to be rooted first.

PLEASE NOTE: My apologies for the flip-flopping. It appears Step 4, the booting into CWM Recovery, will NOT work if your bootloader is locked after all. You will first need to unlock your bootloader to use this upgrade method. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE PHONE BEFORE PROCEEDING. Unlocking the bootloader wipes ALL data on your phone and it is NOT recoverable.

For instructions on how to update without having an unlocked bootloader or root access, see the link at the bottom of this post.

1. Download the OTA ZIP from: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM76K-from-ICL53F.12f767e7.zip

Mirror: http://min.us/mhhv9ahG4

Mirror: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-nexus/i515/

Mirror: http://emuneee.com/downloads/12f767e7a5d0.signed-mysid-IMM76K-from-ICL53F.12f767e7.zip

2. Copy the ZIP file to the root of your Galaxy Nexus internal SD card and rename it to update.zip

3. Download and install the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400871

4. Once you install the software and drivers for the Galaxy Nexus, start the Toolkit and select Option 9, to Boot to CWM Recovery without Permanently Flashing it.

5. Once inside CWM Recovery, you can choose to apply /sdcard/update.zip

6. Reboot when finished and enjoy!

You can go from the 4.0.2 Radios to the 4.0.4 Radios and bootloader with this CWM zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt Devo:
you'll absolutely need to have the 4.0.2 radios (EK02/EK05) first, since the LTE radio is a patch file. Link below taken from Rootzwiki.

Download them here: http://synibox.info/synik4l/razorloves/4.0.2Radios.zip

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moosc:
Will this muck up aokp? Also need to reflash stock radios are those available
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
What if I'm already on the previous leaked 4.0.4 radios? Do I flash the old ones first and then try this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Yes, go back to the 4.0.2 radios before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt Devo:
Also, the bootloader appears unchanged from the earlier 4.0.4 leak (PRIMELA03)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
I dont know if this is any indicator but I just went from 4.0.2 and had -93dbm and did not move the phone once I flashed the new 4.0.4 radios and I am now showing -83dbm.

Lets just see how good the 3g/4g handoff is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Is the zip supposed to be only 39.7MB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
This thread makes little sense to me. Are the new radios any different from the prior leaked 404 radios or no? What's the base bands?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
Yes, the new baseband is FC04/FC05
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rootuser3.0:
Anyone make a zip for the "new radios"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
you have to go from 4.0.2 radios. Heres the link for the new baseband:

http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/galaxynexus/IMM76K_radio_bootloader.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idkwhothatis123:
Zip only like 3.5 mb big. Is that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Motorola? Nope! Thunderbolt have best lte signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
It will probably drop right after I replace this phone with something with more reliable signal strength and less likelihood of spontaneous reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
That's how it usually works with technology. :)

My honest advice is to be patient. All the fixes will come. You might want to try a nightly of Cyanogenmod 9 in the meantime. None of their builds have the rebooting issue.

Also, there are later radios that you can flash your phone with to improve its signal strength as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Maybe not typical...but I've had my VzW Galaxy Nexus since mid December, signal strength has really never been a problem... I WAS getting spontaneous reboots occasionally with 4.0.2, but it's been rock solid since I installed 4.0.4 from the recent VzW leak - not a single spontaneous reboot.

Not to get TOO far off topic.. Have to say I'm enjoying this phone more than ever these days -- Apex Pro launcher, HDR+ and Camera Zoom FX, Flipboard, Currents, Pulse, News Republic, Flixster and Movie Night Out and IMDB, Swype (beta), Sound Hound, Google Nav, QuickPic, etc. WiFi has been great, no signal drops...just very nice all the way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
The reboots are, thankfully, not rampant. But the signal loss is pretty bad. And I have tried every leak out there, and AFAIK the rom has nothing to do with signal drop outs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
well im hoping i didn't just void my warranty and or shoot myself in the foot. im on the latest ota radios but have been having serious signal issues since i received my device from verizon. i called tech support and they are investigating the towers in my area. i never drop below -100 while my wife's fascinate always has -83. she asked what version of android im and i told her. she claims i should be on 4.0.2 so i screwed up. i told her an ota was pushed to my device "yes i was lying" and that i read online some people received it while others did not. she advised me that she was unaware of any ota being pushed yet and asked if i was jailbroken, i said no. :D

im also reading that the latest version might not be the one being pushed to our devices. last rumor has tomorrow as the official ota. :confused:

my question is can verizon see if i got an ota or not? damn im such an idiot. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
If you like locked bootloaders than yes Motorola is king lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
You can't compare the radio signal strength in the Galaxy Nexus to another LTE phone because they report signal strength differently. If you are getting bars and data, then you're fine. You don't need to concern yourself with anything else.

As far as OTA, I'm sure Verizon engineers can see what version you are running. If you have upgraded to a leaked 4.0.4 that doesn't end up being the final version pushed out to everyone, then you are off the OTA track and will not be receiving the update.

The good news is, you can always restore your phone to stock 4.0.2 using threads found in this forum. That will restore your phone back to the OTA track so you will receive the official update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
That seems to be all Motorola is good for lately... bloated UI's and locked bootloaders. Seems like they're more a Jester than a King.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
i have no need to go back to stock unless i ship my device back in. if and when we get the ota all i need is the new bootloader & radios. the problem is i gave verizon my android version which was the leaked 4.0.4 that i thought was the ota. :mad:

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

i wouldn't say all samsung devices have bad signal because my wife's fascinate gets -83 consistently while im stuck at -100 or above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
You'll be fine. You won't get the OTA offer, but you can always come here for the build components you need.

And I didn't say all Samsung devices report bad signal. I said the Galaxy Nexus specifically reports its signal strength differently than any other LTE device made by any manufacturer.

I haven't personally verified this works as advertised, but the commenters on the page seem to think it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackdiamond01:
Sigh....If that's the case, they still haven't fixed the problem with the freaking muting mic. I've been running the leaked update from this month. This is unbelievable! :mad:

I guess I'll try the update and see if maybe there's a hidden change that fixes it. If not, me and Verizon will have to have a little chat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
Muting mic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeaconBoogie:
Yes, in the middle of calls your callers will stop hearing you. You can hear them, but they won't hear you. They will report that you started to break up briefly before your audio goes out. Ending the call and starting it up again corrects the problem until it happens again.

This has been a problem reported since day one.

It happens on both my phone and my wife's Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
I have not experienced this issue before with my launch device. Have you considered doing a warranty return?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjax:
I may or may not have experienced this. There have been a couple times where the person on the other end seemed to not be able hear me immediately upon me answering a call. Each time that happened, I've switched to speaker phone, then back to regular phone mode and the problem has gone away every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I've had a VzW Galaxy Nexus since release last winter - whatever issues I've had, I never experienced this either... if I did, I would certainly look for warranty replacement.

EDIT: curious - what carrier do you use? I wonder if there's any correlation between carriers and the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RyanTX:
Yep. I just traded my razr for a nexus straight up. Loving the nexus. It makes the razr feel way outdated.
