[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Bro... Chill... They're just trying to help you out. There is NO way to to root your NS without a computer (currently. We are not Epic 4G owners here). You said you didn't use your NS since GB, SO during the time in between something could have happened to the hardware. Don't rule that out just yet. Your drivers might also be bad. Is this what migrating to iOS does to people? Makes them snobby and demand fixes to problems they can't figure out on their own? Don't hate on the XDA forums. If we're not helping you "hit the thanks button anyways, you ungrateful bastard" (XDA into video :P). Anywho. Chill. Keep trying.

Nexus S (GSM i9020a)

Paranoid (14.a Hybrid - 4.0.4)

Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)

Intellidemmand (800/100)

Live OC (105 - 800/1000)

Deep Idle (On - Noop)

BLX - 96 (Inverted Apps)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpySasquatch:
I am chill, i am just trying to describe what I've already done so maybe someone could suggest something else. And no what i meant is i downloaded the OTA on my computer than transferred it onto my Nexus through USB mount a couple of days ago so i know its not a hardware issue. Im not demanding fixes, just trying to see if anyone has done been able to figure this out yet as i know im not the only one with this issue. And there is a big problem w/ people on the XDA forums as a whole.. i am a little frustrated and just dont like when someone is telling me is a User issue when i have tried everything conceivable and know what i am doing.. Sorry if this offended you. and IOS is a good device.. its just like.. NWO they want to control everything haha. I'd rather be part of the rebel faction. even though i love my ipad XD
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
There is currently no way to root 4.0.4 without an unlocked bootloader (and no custom recovery), and the only way to get an unlocked bootloader is to either have root or plug it into the PC and unlock via fastboot. As such, you are stuck with sorting out drivers - despite how annoying they are.

The video i linked to above describes in detail (and through video) exactly how to sort out NS drivers on Windows machines as well as the required fastboot commands to get a custom recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpySasquatch:
Yes that is a good video, and does a job well done in describing on how to install drivers. My main issue is that my Computer(s) are'nt recognized my device at all... It doesn't show up as android device, or nexus s... but Unknown device. If i could figure this out i believe i could handle the rest.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Pretty sure that video describes that. You need to open up device manager, double click unknown device (while device is in fastboot), hit update driver and navigate to the provided drivers on the site. Watch it a few times, you'll figure it out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
Have you tried to install PDANet? I've read numerous times about it working wonders for users who have trouble with drivers. It has all of the necessary drivers built in.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.sabra:
yes i second that,PDANet Drivers usually work across all devices you should try them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg2826:
Like ppl said before, try PdaNet drivers it might help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpySasquatch:
thanks everyone, , but like i said i tried pretty much every driver you can find online. they will not install as my device comes up as "Unknown", i've literally tried every piece of literature on the web relating to this issue... at this point i'm just going to wait for the JB update and see what happens.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
So the ICS update makes you unable to boot to fastboot and makes your device unable to be recognized by your computer from there?

That's a new one. As far as I know, "Unknown device" is actually your device being recognized, just the driver doesn't get installed correctly.

Have you tried manually specifying which driver to install and selecting the PDA Net driver? Look at Harbb's last post.

Have you went as far as editing the drivers inf to match your hardware ID? I know I had to do that way back when the PDA net drivers weren't even available.

'til then, user error.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpySasquatch:
I swear you people don't listen, look i did everything in the video exact when i try to manually specify the driver it comes back saying that the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device... I'm not an imbecile and know how to follow instructions on a video. I know most people skip research cause they're too lazy to figure it out themselves... i posted on here as a last resort and feel like people are telling me what i already know then telling me its my fault, ridiculous. if you guys are just going to repeat what the last five people have said instead of trying to offer a new soloution then why even bother posting?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Epic 4G could do this in FROYO... It was patched by google in 2.3+. Do you want an app to secretly root you and install malware?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Well it is going to be basically one of two things.

1. Is user error of some sort. That is what people have been trying to help with.

2. Is hardware issue that no one can help you with of course. Or some software issue causing it to not show up for who knows what reason. Neither of which folks can help with since a computer is not seeing it. So they revert back to what they can. Point 1

When you asked a question like is there a zip that you can flash in stock recovery to give you root or custom recovery that also doesn't help your cause for people assuming user error.

The one other thing you can try is download mode and Odin.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Cool. Trash your Nexus S, clearly broken. :rolleyes:

Edit: That's nice of you albundy, but Mr grumpySasquatch (fitting name eh?) has tried everything, including modding the drivers inf. His Nexus S is broken beyond repair, also the first one we've ever seen that won't adb but works fine for USB mounting. *chuckle*
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grumpySasquatch:
Apparently you didn't read any of my posts, it doesn't USB mount... so why would ADB work? Anyways, I took it to the sprint store finally and they are just saying the USB port is broken which is retarded cause like i said it was working fine before i updated, maybe ICS has a bug that frys the usb port *sarcasm*. They are sending me a new one that will probably have gingerbread so i'll be able to root again and make sure i dont update to an OTA... O_o Sorry if i was being rude to anyone, thanks to the peoples who tried to help. I was just super frustrated cause like i said this ain't my first rodeo and i normally figure the problem out after reading tons of threads and anything i can find, this is the first thread i've ever opened asking for help since 2009 and was getting annoyed at people telling me its my fault lol.

I know that will be Deleted, I will be Banned, IP Banned(lets see if you really can), and some of you will troll me...

But, what is happening with Moderators. Some time they are doing a Great Job,cleaning up threads from trolls,moving threads etc...

But God!! They are going crazy closing treads, just because they dont know what to reply. Even Mods. from Gods know where came here to close/delete threads.

XDA needs to move/delete/close/ban/ip ban/ many of their moderators.

And not, this is not my real acc,so dont waste your time banning me. :p

Ip ban this kid for using alts... Threads are closed for violating the xda rules or being posted in the wrong section. Posted a question in development in the wrong phone section will not get you anywhere. Obviously you need to read the rules of the site you are using... Also, this belongs in "about xda developers".

I believe they are called puppy accounts or something along those lines

Idc really I really haven't seen them do much wrong

The one time I did I sent a pm where the mod was able to clearly justify his actions to me
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You have 3 posts and 1 thread since 2008 including this.

And this is what you decide to post?

I will PM you like adults do and we will try to find out what you are talking about.

Threads are not locked or deleted here without reason.

A couple of threads have been locked in Q&A because they are in the wrong forum and not for this device. That is done to prevent many "wrong forum" posts.

If you have a problem with a specific moderator (guessing you are in the wrong forum as well), you should PM him and discuss it. If that does not provide satisfaction then you PM a Senior mod. And then to the Moderator Committee after that if necessary.

Rants like this would normally result in no one wanting to help you. And probably the actions you requested for yourself. I only see one other account under the same ip. If it is not yours are you trying to get a friend banned?

Thank you for your cooperation

i thougth i would share this app as i will be including this in my roms as soon as i release a upadate mean while i will share this.. this app creats a zip for all your apps with passwords and everything keep in mind ics only compatible apps and visa versa i would create a ics only zip for them any way here you go enjoy :)

[Epic 4G Apps] hayzooos:
Seems like it could be quite useful. What about data? Will it retain data for apps, or just the app itself? And do you have the choice to retain data for certain apps or not?

Maybe you could create two zip files, one for just apps and another for apps+data...
[Epic 4G Apps] darkierawr:
But restoring data can break things!

:crying:

Also, I'm going to try the **** out of this. It looks invaluable.
[Epic 4G Apps] XxLostSoulxX:
not really when i restore apps/data and etc... with my backup pro i never have a issue at all. plus i can restore and re install the data within the app as well.
[Epic 4G Apps] darkierawr:
Well, and yes this backups data, 12 of my 39 applications that required uninstalling and redownloading.

Depends on the the tool though. MyBackup Root still works beautifully for all data restoring needs.

This was such a better option though. I was excited. I wish there was an option for no data :/
[Epic 4G Apps] XxLostSoulxX:
mybackup pro has that i can just backup apps and thats it. i dont need to backup the app data either, or even other data like contacts, mms,sms, etc...
[Epic 4G Apps] styles420:
EDIT: I'm not entirely certain of what he meant... I'm actually not certain he knows what he meant, either... so I'll just delete my thoughts on that confusion ;)
[Epic 4G Apps] XxLostSoulxX:
i know what i said, i'm saying that in the MyBackup Pro App you backup/restore apps and if you want you can backup the data that the app contains, you can backup/restore regualr data like txt messages, system settings, MMS, contacts that are saved in the phone, call logs.

[Epic 4G Apps] DCRocks:
So, if I am understanding correctly what this app does, it will create a zip file of JUST your apps, and when flashed, will restore the backed up apps to /data/app

I use TB to backup my data, and HATE to restore any data for apps until AFTER I have fully tested the ROM with my apps and no data restores, so this would be awesome!

And yah, I know TB does this, but if this is a simple one click thing, would make it super easy for me, and the price couldn't be better ;)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] themightycat:
So there's the option to save contacts to sim, my google email, and the phone.

Can someone tell me the pros and cons of saving to any one of those? Since it doesn't let me save to all 3...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ikhtiaralam:
On the SIM card, you can't add things such as email or their address. Less options. At least that's how it is on my Tmobile sim.

On the phone, there's no harm but it does not sync to other devices such as the tablet or computer or a another phone.

On the other hand of those, Google Email is my personal favorite. You can customize with the address, add multiple numbers, add email address, etc. And unlike the phone option, you can sync it online and it'll be there on any device you use as you update your contacts almost in an instant.

I have not used JB, so I cannot vouch for it. I have nothing good or bad to say about it. However, at this very moment, being an EVO V owner, it would probably be your best bet. Ramjet73 and evomike77 have been very supportive in the thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
It's still a USB standard so even if it's not compatible it might occasionally show it but just the device not anything in it. Gnex doesn't run USB Mass Storage mode, it runs in MTP.

Jellybean is supposed to have USB Audio Out function though, I'll have to test it in a bit (I've turned on my PS3 maybe... three times this year) as I'm not sure if the PS3 can read that though I know quite a few USB audio out/mic in dongles do work so it's entirely possible.

Also, if you're looking to play video/music off your Nexus onto your TV you could just get an MHL adapter or a HDMI dock if budget permits. It'd work a lot better as a media player than the PS3 would just by virtue of playing most codecs without trouble.

it is all stock. i tried resetting, pulling battery, airplane on/off and still nothing. it worked for a moment when I put the unlock code but when i reboot the phone it stopped showing bars. and i cannot set the apn setting because it says instert sim card...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
Did you take the sim card out? The sim needs to be in to be used on mobile networks.

-or is the sim inserted but still cannot set apn?

-cannot access apn menu or apn settings are blank or missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dasistsparta:
Of course the sim is inside and when i go to set apn settings i cannot even emter to modify apn settings because it says insert sim card but the sim is inserted. K also made sure the phone is not blacklisted so that cant be the case. Would rooting and flashing a tmobile radio fix the issue or is bettet just togoto att store and swap it for a new phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
I didn't realize this was a new phone. Are you going to use it on T-mobile?

In that case, you could try to flash a t mobile radio or t mobile rom. Wonder if the att firmware is regretting the tmobile sim.

having it unlocked seems to trump having to do it all that though....

I'm going to have to do my own research on this. Did you buy code from somewhere b/c i thought att wouldn't provide the codes as I read earlier..... Anyone else have ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
You might not need to swap it for a new phone. It might be the sim card is either defective, or there's an issue with the carrier. Did you call the carrier & make sure that the account is set up? I know that these suggestions are obvious, but you often overlook the most obvious.

Even if you use the LTE settings it will use the highest available in your area for example I use the LTE settings and I went to an area that had HSPA+ so my signal icon popped up with H, or 3G in 3G areas etc... Though you can use those settings if you want to keep it at lower speeds/uses less power as well.
