[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CloakedUltraling:
Hey Guys,

New to the forum here and quite a noob on Android Systems. The GNex is my 1st smart phone and I've had it for 6 months now.

Wanting to root, unlock, and flash the new JB rom onto my phone and is using the ToolKit for the process.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original problem is now immaterial, what is bothering me now is installing drivers.....I cannot seem to find a way to properly install the proper drivers for my galaxy nexus. All my laptop would do is install the stock drivers upon connecting the phone to the laptop.

It doesn't matter what drivers im trying to install the condition is the same. I've so far tried out two ways, 1st is following the step by step instruction from efrant, 2nd is installing using the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.0.

For a android noob like me I really have no idea what is going on here @@"

oh and what role does "USB debugging" play in installing drivers? when should it be ticked and when should it not???

----------------------------------------------------------------- below is my original question posted --------------------------------------

However during the 1st step where I need to select my firmware build, I realised the IMM76k build is listed under CDMA where my GNex has this build but is a GSM model.

How should I proceed?? Choose a similar build under GSM or choose the correct build but under CDMA instead??

thanks guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
I would root,unlock, and flash recovery via adb so incase something doesn't work you'll know what happened. Also if you want to use the toolkit just select the correct version under gsm and install the drivers. It should work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I personally would not use a toolkit, as you learn nothing by going that route.

If you want to do it yourself, look at the "flash" link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CloakedUltraling:
actually I was going to do it your way by following through all the steps you have listed out. Like you have said somewhere its like learning math 1st before using a calculator.

However I found myself stuck at the very first part.....installing drivers....

Before yesterday I have not tried to install any driver myself. I guess the only driver that was ever installed to my PC is the one that automatically runs when you plug your phone into a computer for the first time.

When I was following your steps, I first went into device manager --> galaxy nexus --> details --> uninstall driver

and then I have no idea how to install the drivers that I have DL from following your steps. I remember in the instructions you said to plug in my GNex and I should be able to direct the PC to install whatever driver I want, but instead the PC just automatically installed the original drivers again...

So today I decided to give the toolkit a go. As you have seen the 1st problem I ran into was the mixed up variants.....(what does "build code" stand for anyways??)

And the second problem im having now is, again.....it wouldn't install the universal driver. Or at least it does not seem to have installed....

Well, now that I've got your attention (:D) I would like to follow your steps again if I can get pass the driver issue....I like the JB rom you have uploaded better anyways~~ fan of original stuff from Google!

thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CloakedUltraling:
Just to mention, my purpose of doing all this is to get to JB faster, and maybe learn more about my device on the way.

My GNex is a GSM model, yakjuzs, build code is IMM76k (this is the odd part) if these information would help solving my problem.

I normally prefer stock google released ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
@CloakedUltraling, installing the drivers is the only tricky part. You need to get to the point where you see something like "Android 1.0" in your device manager with a yellow exclamation point.

To get to that point, right click on anything you see related to Samsung or Android in device manager and click uninstall. Then go to View in the menu at the top and select show hidden devices, and uninstall anything related to Samsung or Android. Then reboot your PC, and once booted, plug your device (while it is booted into the bootloader) to your PC.

Now, you should see something like "Android 1.0". Right-click on that and select update driver, then follow the menu to manually install it, and navigate to the directory where you unzipped 1wayjonny's driver. This needs to be done TWICE: once when your device is booted into the bootloader, and once when it is booted normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CloakedUltraling:
i was doing some reading since I've missed out the backup step....lol

and I realised that having ADB installed seems to be a pre-requisite for pretty much everything...and which I have not done.

Is this the case for removing/installing drivers as well? ie, do I need ADB installed before doing all this??

OHHHH and Android SDK as well....this looks REALLY important but I have not had any knowledge of this either. Guess I should start from the Android SDK first??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
SDK is not required for you (unless you are developing... :) )

Drivers need to be installed before you can use adb and fastboot - one for each.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neotoky:
I am planning to exchange my phone back to the store. I have unrooted and factory reset but it still shows clockwork recovery. Since there is no odin version of stock rom, how do I then return back to stock recovery? Thanks.

Edit: I think I may have found the answer myself. Will report back.

Edit 2: Didn't realize that there is in fact an odin version to stock under development thread. I just odin'd and everything is ok.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_Biz:
Can you post the exact thread to the stock method? What I've seen so far is what seems to be half axed ways.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neotoky:
I actually had to return the phone since they didn't have any left in stock and bought it at another store. I forgot about the flash counter. I have been looking around and don't see any answers to reset it or not count for T-mobile. I think ATT and Sprint have a way to reset it. Can anyone chime in? I will probably start a thread here or in general about it.

Hi i am looking at getting a new Atrix, is it true that the bootloaders are locked in all new stock? thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soldier-2Point0:
I have read some people have received phones that have a blocked bootloader, some have said they had no problems unlocking the bootloader. I guess it is a matter of luck.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgs640:
When the atrix gets android 4.0 will it mean that we dont need to unlock the bootloader to use custom roms based on 4.0 like cm9 and miui 4?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ska4fun:
There is no way to relock the bootloader again. It's only possible to put a official bootloader that only accepts official stuff from motorola, which is easy to undone, flashing a vulnerable bootloader again. Some new atrix are coming without sbf mode, blocking the flashing of stuff through rsd.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plade:
Just remove the sim?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Like the previous poster said, any ROM can work without any SIM card inserted as a wifi-only device. However, I'm not sure if it's possible to disable the ability to make emergency (911) calls. That may be an issue for you depending on the age of the kid.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themacman1000:
You could put it in airplane mode and then turn the Wi-Fi back on. I know for sure this works in CyanogenMod 7.2 I'm not sure about other ROMs.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohil69:
make sure ur bootloader is unlocked properly

A friend of mine had a similar issue on his Sony Live with walkman (WT19i).

the unlock code he used was not correct as IMEI he submitted was wrong. however it showed the bootloader is unlocked and device rooted.

trying again wont harm. make sure you use only 14 digit IMEI (ignore the last digit) at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com :D
[General Questions and Answers] eldavar:
I just recently switched calling plans and the one I got has a 2 gig limit. Before the switch, I reviewed my data usage for the preceding several months and saw that I was consistently between 2.25 and 2.5 gigs. I figured if I cut out some of the heavy stuff like Pandora and YouTube I'd be fine and stay under the limit.

This evening my phone was having trouble connecting to the internet. But the 3G icon was up there, and I had a strong signal. But the signal bars were grey, not blue, indicating there was a network connection - but I just couldn't get online with it.

I finally thought to check my data usage and just about lost my mind after seeing Google Calendar has used over 1 gig of data in 5 days! How is that possible? What data is the calendar downloading? I can't imagine that syncing every once in awhile with the occasional appointment I might add could use up so much data.

The other apps, ones I figured would be the data hogs, were actually not. Facebook, JustPictures, and Google Play all used way less than the calendar. How is that possible? I'm attaching a few screenshots so you can see what I see.

So now I've got not data on my phone for the next three weeks because I've used it all up (or I should say the Calendar used it all up).

Anyone have any ideas or know anything about this?

[General Questions and Answers] eldavar:
I'm planning on disabling the background data as soon as my plan renews. Hopefully that will prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

But I'm still wondering how the calendar can be using so much data. Isn't it just like syncing my email? Doesn't the calendar just check with Google servers for new appointments and download those to my phone? Even if it synced a lot, isn't the info being downloaded just text? How many appointments would it take to equal 1gig of data? I don't have that many entries on my calendar!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeteroll:
Hey guys, this is my 1st, just wanted to say this is a really awesome community :D

A few quick questions:

1) DO ROMs such as AOKP (My current) come with CWM? I believe installed CWM v 4 as per droidstyle's (awesome) guide, but then after AOKP was installed, I have CWM v 5.

2) When I look in my phone's root directory I see the folder sdcard, but also in root/mnt/sdcard, is there a difference?

3) What is the difference between flashing via odin, or via CWM if any?

Thanks a bunch for tolerating yet another noob :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cookiemonster21:
Welcome to the Forums!. Im new here too but thies seems to be a great place to get information and help, as far as ive seen.

1.)Most Roms do come with CMW, unless the rom doesnt not include its own kernel.

2.)Both sdcard folders are the same, just different ways. Theres a couple folders in android that are like this.

3.)Odin is typically used as a fallback, because CMW can perfroam almost the same functions, except for completely reformatting.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeteroll:
Awesome thanks!

So am I right if I say that ROMs that have their own kernel include CWM because CWM comes in the kernel?

It looks like you dont know anything about how 3G works and why it may affect BL. Its all about range, protocol switching, and BTS placement.

Keep in mind, this is SMARTPHONE with QUAD+1 CORES and HD display. The good battery life score with average usage is 1 DAY. with heavy usage is couple of H. If you want it to work a week without charge, get nokia E51.
