[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lazer Bear:
Okay, this is extremely irritating. I'm getting an "installation aborted. Status (0)" when trying to install the SU zip from recovery. If I use superboot it just gets stuck at Google's logo. Below are some more info:

running IMM76I 4.0.4 (GSM)

I tried using CWM, CWM Touch, TWRP 2.1 (all "booted" only), superboot. All recoveries were for GSM Galaxy Nexus (maguro)

I tried using su binaries only, full su, downloading again both. MD5 is correct.

I tried fixing permissions, wiping dalvik cache, mount/unmount system, toggle signature verification, toggle script asserts, fastboot oem lock/unlock

At the end of everything, SU is installed but I have no root..

Update: I think I *might* have pinpointed the problem: it appears that the recoveries are trying to read the su.zip from /sd-ext, which if I'm correct does not exist on the GNex (only sd-int).. now why the heck would that happen? Might it be because I only fastboot boot'ed them and not fastboot flash'ed? I'd rather keep my stock recovery if possible..

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been going crazy for the past 3h trying to gain root, which should be a matter of minutes with a "dev phone" like the Gnex...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asawoszc:
Unless you're specifically trying it the manual way for the experience why not just use the GNex toolkit to unlock/root/etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Why not just flash the recoveries then return flash the stock recovery back..?

Why do you want to keep the stock recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Copy the file from here to the root of your /sdcard, reboot into CWM and flash the zip... Or better yet, just follow the instructions in that link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lazer Bear:
Ok, I tried WugFresh's Gnex toolkit. Everything goes fine till the phone reboots, than it gets stuck at "rooting your Galaxy Nexus".

I'm starting to think it might be the ROM, despite it being 100% stock. I will try re-flashing the whole stock image (downloading atm) and see what happens.

p.s.: I'm not a noob (I thought it would be obvious from the first post but apparently some people missed it :laugh: ), so I know how to root under "normal" circumstances. No need to point me at "how-to-root" threads unless they contain particular information about this specific situation (su.zip installation aborted).

Thanks to everyone who has replied so far!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I pointed you to that link because you may have downloaded an incompatible superuser zip. I packaged that one up, so I know it works.

P.s. Not sure about other recoveries, by the non-touch version of CWM looks for files in /sdcard (i.e., /data/media) and sub-folders, not anywhere else...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lazer Bear:
HOORAY! I did it!!!

This is what I did:

1-downloaded latest WugFresh's Toolkit (tired of doing everything manually and getting 0 results..)

2-tried flashing stock rom, got stuck after it flashed the bootloader

3-Downloaded another toolkit from xda (Gnex toolkit 7.0)

4-successfully flashed stock with that.

5-tried rooting using that one, got stuck after booting insecure image

6-went back to Wugfresh's, successfully rooted using it!!

So, basically I have no idea how or why this problem happened nor how I solved it, but after 2 days and 5h I did it! Lol..

US needs two update files if going the FTP site download route.....~A310~(291M) and ~A400~(4.9M).
[Thinkpad Tablet General] obscure.detour:
I was able to download both from the FTP here: ftp://slatesftp:sprt!42tes@lenovo.download.akamai.com/slates/think/tablet1/

Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.

Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?

Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] armondole:
I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.

After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....

Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] obscure.detour:
That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

How were you able to update using CWR?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
I commented out the lines of the update script that checked for "indigo" in build.prop.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
so you're now on official ISC with Root AND CWM ??

it's a great news !
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
No, when ICS installed, it got rid of CWM.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
Do you mind posting how you did the whole install process? Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
I did not have CWR to start.

I downloaded the update through the "update" menu on the device.

Update failed due to gps.conf being modified.

Reverted to what I thought was old gps.conf, update still failed.

Install CWR

Try update through CWR

Still fail, due to indigo being required in build.prop (this error is caused by CWR)

Commented out the Indigo lines in the update-script in the update

Flashed again

Still failed for gps.conf.

Commented out each line in update-script mentioning gps.conf

flashed again, it worked.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
I take you flashed 310 first then 400?

Where is the script located?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
The update-script is in the META-INF/com/google/android folder in the zip. a # sign will comment out any line.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
Do I put the number sign in the front?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
Here is the file i used

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8479005/updater-script
[Thinkpad Tablet General] quyTam:
ok, after hour of struggling with update script, successfully flashing ICS with the CWM.

But it was useless because CWM don't seems to work with ICS as other has already mention it with EU and Row version.

Problem is that I've removed installation of default recovery in script to conserve CWM, so I don't have any recovery for now (must install manually the default one...)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
I edited the built prop, but not I get a different error, not build prop related.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] PurpleBrad:
how

Never edited the build.prop before, sound easy enough. Everyone talks about using Wordpad.. It's all jibberish. Wordpad, Notepad, N++, doesn't matter.

Apparently if you comment out the part about Indigo in the update.zip. you can flash through CWM without stock recovery.

Can someone tell me how to view this file?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
Editing worked fine in wordpad for me, though not in Notepad. On the other hand, I wasn't able to flash it in CWM. :\
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mandrsn1:
i did not edit build.prop because the update will modify it. I was afraid this could **** things up.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
Well I pretty much did what you did in the file you shared, don't know why I said build prop.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Anapmac:
Did you revert back to stock recovery to do it then?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bigsnack:
No, should I have?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d1ez3:
Coming from a thunderbolt I am really interested in a thin case which has a kickstand, but I always use my phones naked in a holster which clips on my belt.

I found this on amazon, should be released tomorrow

http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Kick-Stand-Packaging-T-Mobile-Cellular/dp/B008B85DNC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=G6MAD593YXAT&coliid=I1UCOZWOUS0H0M

But I'm not sure about the quality. Anyone know of any good holsters with belt clips? or anything else like the one from amazon.

Thanks:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinnyjr:
I have this same case style for my HTC Rezound. It is a great case, very strong but super light and thin. The kickstand is a good design that works. When you have it folded you can not even tell it's there. Well thought out. I will get one for the SGS3 as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d1ez3:
Great, I think I will be ordering this one as well. The holster has a belt clip on it, correct?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d1ez3:
Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 3_D:

http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...amsung-T-Mobile/dp/B00805SEHI/ref=pd_cp_cps_0

I've currently got a Qmadix for my GNex but the version they have for the S3 is not very attractive in a professional setting.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d1ez3:
Just ordered the one I posted in the OP, I hope the quality is good as there are no reviews, but I need a case for this when it comes in
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fludiddy:
I don't care for this one because of the exposed top part of the case. Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/8156.htm) has several cases with holsters -- one of which has a kickstand. I had the Surface version for my S2 and it worked great. Even dropped it a couple of times from about waist high onto the lovely slab concrete hallway at work and fully protected my phone.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomburnes:
I doubt it can do 120fps. The phone wasn't made to do slow motion video capturing, you would probably have to hardware modify and write your own drivers.

I'm very new to the android world but I'm wondering if there is a fix for the GS3's inability to play over my car's USB. I know Blackberry, HTC, and Apple Phones do. Is this an update that XDA can create or do we need to whine to samsung? Basically, can XDA dev's add in Mass Storage?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
so... i was on cm7 with twrp and i wanted to install the new aokp team acid released with fixes. I thought i read the op correctly and could use twrp to install aokp. i was getting an error but i already wiped system and did a factory reset. anywho i had no os and all my backups on my sd card got deleted a few days prior than today. so i busted out heimdall and everything was going great but the usb cord i was using was some poop and it ""disconnected" during installation. so i rebooted the phone and it gave me the connect to kies message with the 2 computers and i tried i again leaving the phone in one spot. again it came "disconnected" (what a bs usb cord it is). so i went to try a third time and now heimdall cant see my device. but i know its not the cord as poopy as it is it will detect my wifes phone which is a sgs4g too. is there anyway to get heimdall to see what my phone is again?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imxsteezin:
Calm down you will have to buy or use another USB a Samsung USB is preferred and try a different program I always had trouble using hemidall look up stock one click its a Java app
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] enelyam:
Either that or you may have a broken charging port also. That could be a broken charging port on your phone. Not always is a usb cable fault. But like Imx said, just calm down and youll see the light at the end. After all, youre using an unbrickable Galaxy 4g. Which worst case scenario is the most simple to apply unbrickable mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imxsteezin:
Exactly I brick my phone all the time
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Technically called "soft bricks"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Actually a blackberry cable is preferred. The samsung cable is not the best quality. I use it but Im also scared Im going to have issues. I use to have a blackberry cable around here somewhere and there wasnt a phone I couldnt get recognized on my pc with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
thanks for the advice guys i will try a different cord and reply with my findings. i dont think it is my charging port. that should be fine never had a problem charging it. i never applied the unbrickable mod do you think this would help me?

All i get in the unknown device error when i plug the phone in right now. samsung drivers still dont help it. like i said when i hook my wifes phone which is a galaxy s 4g too to my computer it will recognize hers just not mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imxsteezin:
When you google one click stock for our device and download it the Java app requires you to install Java on your PC one this is done the program will automatically ask if you won't to install the drivers click yes then you will need to go to list at the top left corner select recent devices then Samsung will pop up install them then you click flash and it does all the work

Be sure to follow them exactly how they are written. lumin has a guide on how to remove your drivers that is probably what is causing your problems is a wonked out driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imxsteezin:
Are you putting it in download mode? Also have you tried to use a different USB cable like I recomended
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eb13:
It kind of sounds to me like your drivers are borked. I would recommend uninstalling all drivers, reboot and then install the drivers included with the heimdall one-click.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
guys, ive been messing around now for about 5 hrs trying to get this thing going and no luck. i know there has to be a way. this is a list of things that ive tried and any other suggestions would be very helpful.

*tried a different usb cord

*used usbdeview to delete anything android/samsung related

*tried another laptopkn

*tried another sgs4g (which one click will say connected but then if i try my phone it wont)

*deleted all known drivers samsung/android related

im going to the store now to see if i can get a brand new usb cord and see if that helps. other than that fellas im clueless as to why i wouldnt be able to get one click to see my device. its almost as if the device doesnt know what it is. but sometimes by chance when i plug it in to my computer it will try to install and if i have one click open it will say connected and the drivers are being detected and then when the drivers fail it becomes disconnected.

Anyone have anything else i can try???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Install Heimdall.

Plug in phone, while it's on download screen.

Launch zadig.exe from the Heimdall\Drivers folder.

Options->List all devices.

Choose the Samsung one... I'm away from my computer so I can't give you the exact name, but I think it's Samsung Composite Device.

Change the driver to libusb0.

Install/replace driver.

Restart computer.

Log into computer.

Restart phone.

Flash successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] codealarms:
I remember seeing somewhere that once on mtd the phone responds to the Google drivers. You can install those from the android sdk. Don't know if that would help, but worth a shot if you don't have those drivers installed.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] servbot9k:
I did the same thing (reset, wipe, format) without flashing another rom, though I've no idea how to use heimdall. Neither Odin nor Heimdall seem to detect my phone and the computer says the device is malfunctioning (forgot the exact error message). How exactly could I use Heimdall to fix my phone? And is there anything I should know about drivers? I had AOKP if that makes any difference.

EDIT: nvm, I fixed it. Just needed to switch computers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creon100:
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? When I manually turn WiFi off when I get to work I'll look down some time later and the phone will have turned WiFi back on by itself. I'm not sure how long this takes, but so far I'm having no luck finding a setting that would affect this. I didn't have this problem on my EVO 4G, so does anyone have any idea why this is happening. I've got a Sprint S3, btw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
Sprint Connection Optimizer I think is causing your problem...not sure where the setting is since my 32Gb is lost in Sprint/Samsung Limbo, but look under network settings I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] martyzidek:
Settings> more settings>mobile networks>automatic connections> uncheck sprint automatic connections
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creon100:
Actually, I'll try that, but I think it may have actually been the "Network Notification" under the Wifi advanced settings. You can't change that setting when Wifi is off, but it remains checked if Wifi is manually turned off, so I wonder if there's a bug where Wifi will turn back on to to fulfill the network notification function.

So far, since turning that option off I haven't had the issue, but I'll keep an eye out. Either way, thanks for pointing out the Sprint Automatic Connections location, I couldn't find it to save my life. I'll leave it enabled for now, to see if the network notification setting actually fixes the issue.

Sprint Connections Optimizer

Here's a screenshot of how Sprint describes their Sprint Connections Optimizer. I wonder how much this monitors our use of WiFi Tether on rooted devices and reports it back to Sprint. Probably safer to leave unchecked until we know more from the developers on what it actually records and submits.

I'd love to see a thread on all the Sprint bloatware and which ones can be safely removed with Titanium Backup without disabling any major functionality like visual voice mail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranmachan:
yea, i see this "solution" all over. it does not work, my optimizer is off, i go into menu with *#0011# and shut off wifi power mode. neither work, it just keeps coming on "while im driving" and kicks me off of my internet radio. any other suggestion im willing to try. i dont want to root this phone just to keep wifi off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] janjanrex:
If you have any remembered wifi connections forget them so your phone can't auto connect and if the sprint optimizer connections has been disabled then it's weird that wifi keeps triggering. Because wifi shouldn't auto connect to found hotspots automatically.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
Are you rooted? If so, use Titanium Backup to freeze the connection optimizer.

Is there a way to do this in Sense without installing Apex or some other launcher or using Desktop Visualizer?

I LOVE DV, and I've made a ton of huge icons for it, but it's so buggy and slows down Sense after a few days of use. I'd rather just change my icons and/or disable the icon labels on the homescreens. Is this possible in Sense 4?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hadcook:
Not as far as I know (I am kinda a noob though), I think this is one of the main reasons people use 3rd party launchers. I have used nova on cleamrom De and my phone was much faster and smoother than using the stock sense.

It may be possible to edit the apk file to change icons for individual apps but it would take forever.
