[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmorD:
Thanks for answer!

I thought myself that while S2 may be a bit more powerful, it doesn't mean Nexus couldn't run all those nice games, it is anyway a dual-core phone.

What about the battery life?

So far I think I'll go for GNexus... It's more... exotic! and I really like the screen. I just need to be very sure about it, I have bought so many phones just to get disappointed at them after two months... Though these two are pretty high-end phones(for me anyway!)

Thank you too, Theshawty! It doesn't mean that while S2 has more roms, it's automatically better. Nexus has pretty cool roms as far as I know :)

And I'm pretty damn sure Google's support is more reliable than Sam's ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeeholim:
The SGS2 has a worse screen, but a better performance because of it. The Nexus on the other hand, has double the pixels, but a worse performance. SGS2 will run games smoother, but it won't look as good as when the Nexus runs it. Performance vs Great screen.

Dev support is good on both ones, but Nexus will be much better long term compared to the SGS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
You're welcome! Yeah, the ROMs we have so far here are great, and they're starting to pile up to become even more since afterall, this phone has a "developer-flag".

Samsung's support is ****, in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
What a sad misconception. The S2 has AOSP roms just like the Nexus does. They have AOKP just like the nexus does, and they have awesome kernels as well.

What it really comes down to is screen size/resolution and size of the phone. Both will run ICS just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
What I wrote first was basically if someone chooses to stay with the stock firmware and not use a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It would be true in that case, but he mentions community so one could be lead to believe that he will flash roms ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmorD:
Thanks to evrybody! I think I'll pick GNex... It's just such a hard choice... But it's a lil' bit cheaper and I really appreciate the bigger/better screen.

One thing that I wanna know the answer to, is, how long will Google support GNex? I reckon it'll get the next Android upgrade unless it's tablet-only, but what about after that? Time to move on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Ah, ok. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P30SiNa:
If you want a higher camera and you don't care about the os version or blah blah, go with S2

But I recommend you to get GNex! It's awesome!

Better screen quality, Stock Android OS, Will be upgradable to JellyBean, Lots of good roms, ... ;)

I have a droid incredible rooted using clockwork recovery v2.5.1.2 for a long time now, all of a sudden when i boot into clockworkmod it wont let me select anything from the menu...

when you hit power button it goes to black screen, hit the power button again it goes right back into recovery menu.

simply trying to factory reset the phone to let someone else use it.

Thnx in advance for any help Dominick
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
The power button didn't allow you to select options in CWM, use the optical button.

If that doesn't work, you need to reflash CWM through hboot by downloading the recovery file from pvillecomp.com and renaming the file to: PB31IMG.zip

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Hello XDA.

Huge problem over here.

I can't flash anything on my device (HD2, Europe) anymore.

Newest Radio-Rom, SPL-2.08.HSPL.

Tried everything listed in the forums, event tried to flash stock leoimg.nbh from sd. nothing.

Whenever I try to flash via USB, the screen is stuck at 0 % (independent from what I try to flash).

HSPL won't let me reflash it, get an error msg.

When flashing from sd, stuck at "loading..."

Hardreset (VolUp+VolDown+Power) works, but doesn't change anything.

I really tried E-VERY-THING, nothing seems to work.

Bootloader is starting up, even the white screen with the green HTC logo is showing up, but then: nothing.

Worked my ass of through hundreds of threads in dozens of forums.

This is my last chance.

Anybody? Thank you!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you've tried literally everything as you claim, then nobody can possibly help you. ;) Have you tried flashing a stock ROM via the SD card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
are you 100% sure its 2.08.hspl and not 2.08.0000?

also, tried different usb ports? different PC even, if possible? (not 64 bit either, if you can manage it, , , an xp machine is perfect)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Drowzz:
Probarly your phone is bricked yes.

You say you tried everything and nothing worked, then i think there is no option left. Maybe put it in the fridge or something for like 10 minutes?:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
To all:

I'm sure, its hspl 2.08, pic of bootloader on its way.

I tried Stock ROM from sd. Stock oben AND provider one.

Tried 2 different PCs. Will try XP 32bit when possible.

Please tell mehr, that here's a german Euthanasie a jtag device... or pleeeeease name another option...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Tried it. Outcome:

:/

... recently I tried to flash a whole new ROM. RadioROM was ok.Task29 went good, MAGLDR had problems. First time stuck at 4 % (Connection Error 262 (?)), second time at 96 % (also connection error), third time I held the data cable in the port, not too strong, but it worked this time. MAGLDR booted, but didn't show any options, just the header. So i did another Task29. From this time on, nothing worked anymore. :/

Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also trying another sd-card atm, doesn't seem to work...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Sorry for double-posting,

but i was able to re-flash radiorom via sd. maybe this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr_Grip:
This is the most stupid bit of dangerous "advice" I've ever heard. Not only is a phone not "bricked" as long as the bootloader is working, but more importantly, "put it in a fridge" has never done anything good. It's an urban legend. If you feel like it you can try it on a broken harddisk right before getting out the black candles and the chicken blood, but it's completely useless.

Have you tried a different USB cable? Everything points to the connection, maybe your phone's USB port is shot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Wouldn't this have been solved when flashing over sd-card?

RadioROM worked this way, whole stock package does not.

Tried different usb cables, different pcs. and different stock roms over sd.

so chances are good it's not bricked, if the bootloader works? I mean, it even boots to the green htc logo on white bg....

thanks

EDIT: Also, usb-port worked fine before flashing, it also works now, bootloader recognizes "USB".

EDIT2:

MTTY changed nothing. Task29 was succesfull (it seems), tried task 2a (that should format the WHOLE thing, like i unterstood) and 28, too, seemed succesfull, too, but my problem remains.

and why the hell can i flash a radio from sd but not a full stock rom? sd card is formatted in fat32 and 2 gig sized... tried all official roms...

and hspl still throws this error....

EDIT3:

Set up a VM with Win XP 32 bit. HSPL doesn't throw an error now, but it seems to take forever to install. Almost 10 Minutes and counting.

is this normal?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Didn't work.

Dont know what else to try, if nobody answers...

Think about sending it in to get JTAGed (Bootloader rewritten...)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spaqin:
Why? I've seen it working. A friend bought a broken HD2, the seller said he couldn't flash anything and he had problems with camera and games before. So after dozens of tries, he put it into the fridge for half an hour and managed to flash magldr and a new rom. Well, the motherboard was faulty and he couldn't do almost anything because the phone suffered constant freezes and restarts when doing anything else than looking at the homescreen, but well, the fridge helped him a bit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
USB Port on the phone, USB Port on the computer, USB Cable, Drivers in the computer, Firewall or similar host security software on the computer - these are some of the things I'd double-check.

But a ROM in nbh format should still flash from SD- what exactly happens, does it not find it or not complete the flash? Does it throw any error code?

And did you see any bad blocks while on mtty?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
No bad blocks, will check it again.

As said, USB-Port on phone seems ok to me, used 2 different drivers on 2 different pcs with 2 different data cables and 2 different OS. Firewall and Antivir disabled.

When flashing from SD leoimg.nbh seems to be found but it gets stuck at the grey screen with the blue "loading...". forever. no error code, not even an option to confirm or cancel the flash. cancelling the loading process with voldown failed. tried three different sd cards and all official stockroms that could possibly come in question for my phone.

But why was I able to flash the latest radiorom again?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
Beats me. How long it you wait for the full ROM to flash though? I know you have tried a bunch, and am sure you would have waited long enough, but asking just in case. It might take as much as 10 minutes or more.

But ya, at the moment JTAG seems to be your best bet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
waited for almost 1,5 h now for an sd flash...

jtag seems more and more acceptable...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
If tag is available, go for it.

There are a few variants of this problem, that I think of under the umbrella name of "stuck radio"

Usually its the radio that gets stuck, but sometimes the spl gets stuck too, or sometimes just the spl. Either way, some types of flash work whilst others don't (radio works hspl doesn't for example, or custom roms flash stock rooms dont ), or a flash seem to work but nothing changes, (hspl gives hacked it but spl doesn't change,or the flash hangs...

My guess is two causes, some being corruption of the software, some actual hardware...bad blocks at a critical area of memory perhaps.

There are one or two success threads with this family of problem, but hundreds with no successful outcome. Sometimes just flashing the oldest correct rom from SD does it, sometimes freezer trick works, (not an urban myth), sometimes just trying again and again works. Often though, nothing does, so if jtag is an easy option I'd take it.

Be warned though, it could be hardware, in which case it may not work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
^This.................. with that v

Looks like we have a winner .... :D

You said "flashing a Radio was OK" .. so we shouldn't be having a problem there. Also, a task29 went good, too.

You started having those problems during MAGLDR, but after you held the cable, everything went fine.

So in other words, during attempt 1 & 2 of MAGLDR flashing, you pulled the cable.

I know that pulling the cable midst a radio flash will 99% cause a brick.

Same with ROM with a Radio (but less chance).

But MAGLDR, I don't really know, maybe sam will help ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
I'm not sure, what you want to tell me. I did NOT pull a cable at any time, connection was there, even when i didn't hold the cable. Also, I didn't try to flash a RadioROM via cable, only via sd-card. And there it worked!

Now my phone won't flash anything, no stocks, no customs, not even hspl.

Is there maybe a possibilitie to "delete" hspl or reflash it via sd? Task2a in MTTY only does a backup of the (in my case broken) hspl and restores it back after.

Any way to just delete it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
I know you did not pull the cable. I wanted to say that it was just loose, causing a disconnection.

OK, that being ruled out. I think you are left with the jtag.

I don't know why it happened, I mean, what caused the first sticking (4%) ?

And since I did not help, I want to give you this advice:

As soon as you get your device fixed, do this ONLY ONCE:

*Install radio 2.15 or 2.12 (depending on what works best for you.

*Install HSPL 2.08

^After that, never touch those again. (unless returning for warranty)

One more thing: too much task29 is not good, only do a task29 if you feel it is really necessary, otherwise, just flash things normally over each other.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Don't forget that the order matters a great deal - HSPL 2.08 THEN Radio 2.12/2.15. But I definitely agree that Task29 is often unnecessary and useless.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
amen to that.

I recently had to use task29 to get a rom to boot, first time ever that i've needed one in , , erm, , how old is the hd2? lol 2009 i think got mine. (and in reality i suspect it was actually an sd card problem really, cos i full formatted that at the same time))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schousta:
Ok..

I think I'll go with a jtag then..

A german forum user here, that can do such stuff?

Thanks to all the helpers!!! Appreciate it...

But still I'd like to know why i was able to flash a Radio from sd but not a Stock...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
because a stock rom flashes in this order...

1 - spl

2 - radio

3 - rom

so if the spl is stuck and causing a fail, the flash cannot continue to the radio stage.

example, Many people whose radio is stuck, CAN flash custom roms (no radio) but not flash stock roms.
[General Questions and Answers] FriedPie:
What is the general consensus on what is the best format for playing audio files on Android phones? File size, battery-life and audio quality are all factors where a compromise that has to be made somewhere I imagine, so which format gives the best balance between those three?
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
I'd say go for 320kbps mp3s. Everything more than that is probably just a waste on phone hardware anyway, even tho there are some (rare) exceptions.
[General Questions and Answers] FriedPie:
Just looked this up a bit more and found out this about my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3)

"100dB SNR Class W Headphone amp output" If that's a proper 100dB then I think I might have to look at dropping FLAC files on to this mother-trucker.
[General Questions and Answers] dazza9075:
that's just marketing speak when used on such devices, something you need to be careful about is the cleaver use of cut offs, you can make it 100db SNR on a blank file (often how its measured) by having it cut off all audio

If you have zero noise music file at standard volume id be Impressed, if you have a music that's so clean that you can crank it up to 100dB before noise and distortion is introduced id be speechless. So if noise is in the original input it will be output as well

Fact is, unless you crank up music to room size functions you wouldn't notice the difference between a 320bps mp3 and lossless wav
[General Questions and Answers] FriedPie:
Ahhh there we go. No FLAC on my mobile for me in that case. Thanks for the help.

Wow how to flash this recovery?

Here are the steps to install it

You need to be rooted before proceeding further

Step 1:

Download recovery image from above link

Step 2:

Switch off your phone and connect your phone to SP Flash tool

Step 3:

Load the scatter file and recovery image and tick only recovery in flash tool

Step 4:

Flash it and reboot to recovery and voila you are done!!!

Step 5:

Now take a backup of your existing ROM in backup and restore section :D
