[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the hardware side too. It looks like the SANDISK NAND that Samsung used in the Nexus is a bit unstable. Also, I ran...

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

sending 'userdata' (139193 KB)...

OKAY [ 15.448s]

writing 'userdata'...

OKAY [ 9.876s]

finished. total time: 25.325s

Not surprisingly the data was unchanged when I booted up. I might call Samsung later today to get the ball rolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptnk:
Yeah, that's not surprising me...let's them repair their **** after all....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Samsung was pretty quick with the repair. There was a status update yesterday...

"The unit has left the technician. SOLUTION: Replaced Component - PRL Updated - S/W Updated - Passed"

I assume they replaced the module that holds the SIM slot and SANDISK chip. I'm sure I'll receive the phone soon, although I've been using a backup i515 I bought on eBay earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewmonde:
Just wanted to add some additional information to this thread for even better searchability. I've experienced the same issue.

Summary of symptoms:

Device boots to boot animation, the animation locks, and device enters into Boot Loop

Using ADB, have fully functioning access to the internal FS, and read/adb pull any data from the device

All write commands appear to be executed successfully, however no write is actually completed ("read only")

Any flashing of .img files to the device execute successfully, but no actual change is made on the disk

To verify this I looked at intentionally modifying a specific memory block using dd via adb shell

I first took an md5sum of the test memory block:

~ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 count=1 bs=512 | md5sum
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes (512B) copied, 0.001831 seconds, 273.1KB/s
bf619eac0cdf3f68d496ea9344137e8b -

I then wrote data from dev/random to that same block. The write completed without error:

~ # dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 count=1 bs=512
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes (512B) copied, 0.002259 seconds, 221.3KB/s

Then compare the md5sum of the test block:

~ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 count=1 bs=512 | md5sum
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
512 bytes (512B) copied, 0.001739 seconds, 287.5KB/s
bf619eac0cdf3f68d496ea9344137e8b -

The md5sum remains unchanged, which seems to verify the same "read only" state of the internal memory.

ErichMoraga - did the module repair fix the problem? I'll have to see if I can find a replacement module online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErichMoraga:
Samsung confirmed it was defective and replaced it for me under warranty. I have 2 i515 phones now, just in case. That said, it's basically impossible to find just the memory module out there on its own. You'd have to buy a $100 phone w/ cracked screen, etc. That said, it would be helpful to have a full dump of your memory card prior to replacement because I recall there were some settings in memory that were quite specific to the system board (various IDs, etc.).

[HTC ChaCha] pintspin:
hi , is it possible to have different color LED notification on CHACHA , i hvae noticed that its allowing only two colors..... orange and green but since red color is also avaialbe so ideally it should allow red as well , any idea how to apply other colors by any application like blinker / light flow ,

actually i love these retro notificaiton style.......... its very much helpful......
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
I actually never have seen a red color on the Chacha led. I red somewhere that it should be possible, but even when playing around with lightflow i didn't see any red LED. So either this was just a rumor, or the differnce to the orange LED is minimal.

However you can use the Facebook-Button-LED (which is white).

-Change the name of the file to bootanimation and copy to sdcard.

-With root explorer copy boot animation to system>media (replace the original one).

Well, after reading several pages on epsylon thread, I understood that with this big step we can use panorama camera and chrome

what are the other advantages of this thing? ^^

do they have disadvantages such as faster battery drain? (using chrome for X hours would drain more battery than using default browser for same hours)

thanks hope that someone can explain it in a simple way XD

Well, here on my Defy+, I've noted a lot of ram being consumed. And a bit more heat on it's back.

But battery duration is OK for me. I think that Epsylon should say something about what goods and bads it brings to us. I still wanting a better video decoding and better game play, but without HWA Decoding (and without a date to fix it), we're still trapped.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Me[kk]A:
Have a rogers S2LTE, running ICS 4.04.

I ran Odin and used cwm recovery, and used what I found to be the most recent TAR file for the i727r.

during the download procedure to put superuzer on the phone, I had one error aborted installation, but success the second time.

Everything seemed normal, albeit aside from a slightly slower speed in the operation of the phone.

The only reason I noticed something was wrong was the fact that superuzer didnt really do anything, I couldnt add any apps or get past the initial screen.

Also, titanium back up didnt work, stating it couldn't get root permissions.

At this point, I installed root checker and got a negative response on my phone being rooted.

I'm posting here as I'm not sure how to progress, and as the phone is running normally, and im not sure if any real damage is done.

Do I simply try to flash the phone with Odin once more? Or do I flash it back to stock, and factory reset, and then try to root again?

Thanks in advance.

download procedure?

just put superuser on sd and install from cwm.

no root access means no su binary's installed. su binary's will not install from the superuser in the market that's just a front end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SeraldoBabalu:
wouldn't you also require busy box and then fix permissions using rom manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] popcorn900:
no. busy box has nothing to do with su. and rom manager sucks and you will have nothing but trouble if you use it. just download odin and cwm and superuser thats all you need to root that expensive phone.

So i tried to reflash again and use the new hercules file in odin.

All went well until I went into cwm recovery to make a back up, it said the it couldn't mount and aborted.

I backed up onto the SD card and it proceeded, however, when trying to load the superuser file from the external sd, it also said it couldn't mount, and aborted there.

any way around this?

I have the same phone this is what I did

Flash phone with CWM use this one

Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 Odin tar http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1566613

Then wipe data/factory reset, format- system, data and cache, and clear the partition and dalvik caches, do that to all of them 3 times each, using touch cwm.

Then odin ICS download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/

(make sure only Auto Reboot is checked nothing else)

Once the phone loads go through the setup then leave it alone, let it sit for about 20min then flash back the CWM. Then download Superuser from here and put it on the root of your SD card then flash it in CWM if it fails just keep doing it until it works, it worked the second time for me.

Once superuser is installed install busybox from the market and everything will work.

This method worked perfect for me I was having the same problem like you. The key is to wait about 20min after you flashed ICS before you do anything else.

Hope this helps you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Me[kk]A:
I'm not entirely sure. After not being able to back up, I grabbed an external sd, put superuser on that.

The back up went through with no problems. Also, superuser installed on the 2nd try and all went well with permissions from there.

Friend of mine had picked a zip file labelled "root" to use with Odin, and I'm suspecting the tar files I had attempted with in the past weren't correct and this file was.

Either way, I have lots more reading to do to fully understand what is available to me now. Busybox, nandroid, ROM toolbox installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] popcorn900:

Hey everyone!

I've recently purchased a GNex from Google play and it had a yellow tinted screen to I called in for a replacement and on this one it has the black spots on an all black screen. I kinda don't wanna call in for another exchange but would if necessary. What I want to know is if the black spots will cause any future problems since I can live with only seeing them in dark rooms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
I see them too.. so does my other galaxy nexus... chances are your replacement will have them too, the only time i see them is on a completely black screen in a pitch black room. It doesnt bother me any other time. Although it would be bad if you had like an entire row.. how many exactly I only see like 4-6 on mine and on both they have them in nearly identical places.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisMonsterr:
Yes that's what I'm experiencing, I only see them in a pitch black room. I have probably about 10 small spots scattered around the screen. Do you happen to know if this would cause any future problems? Thanks for the reply

Doubtful. They will eventually multiply possibly. I'm not entirely sure I've gotten over it since. Doesn't bother me. Its am "only time will tell" kind of deal I guess.

Q2: I've tried activating the 3d in a boost store, and the meid supplied in the phone doesn't work, any ideas?

Q3: without going through a third source and having to pay $100 for a reflash, is it possible to reflash on my own?

Q4: and finally, can anyone supply me with a link or two with step by step instructions on how to achieve each one, if not both. It would be greatly appreciated.

Q1 ... No.. Rooting means installing the su program in the system partition. It can ben done through a recovery program. I did it using ClockWorksMod (CWM)

download , e.g., Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from

androidsu.com/superuser/

Here's a video on youtube

youtube.com/watch?v=UXgeKSIPRuE

Q2.. Don't know

Q3.. Normally, yes.. if you install 4EXT recovery it's even easier. Be careful. Briking the phone is not easy but it can happen and if u brick your phone you're SOL and on your own

Q4 .. Once rooted it's easy to flash via recovery. Follow the recovery menu. It you are S-ON and you don't have 4EXT you have to flash the boot partition via fastboot, so install 4EXT..

I bricked my unlocked Captivate (bought on Amazon for $240 - I was avoiding a data plan) trying to get Ice Cream Sandwich on it. The phone was rooted.

Initially, the phone was only loading a Samsung splash screen when I tried to get it into normal mode. However, recovery mode was working; it would boot into Clockworkmod. Which is a bad thing considering they would easily tell I had messed with it!

So, I loaded the phone into Download mode and tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin. Odin said "failed" and now my phone was completely soft bricked, and the infamous "[phone]-----/

!

\-----[computer]" screen was showing up. Download mode worked though. I tried to flash all types of stock and custom ROMs to no avail. Now, recovery and normal modes don't work while Download mode does.

So, I called Samsung and told them it wasn't working; they told me it was still under warranty and I could send it in for repairs.

My question would be: will Samsung repair my phone, or will they find out I messed with it and refuse to do so? Also, if they find out, how much will I have to pay them to fix it?

Getting a new phone is out of the question... I might just buy

Has anyone sent a bricked phone in to Samsung before?

I tried flashing stock Captivate Gingerbread kernels to no avail. I googled and googled, and I tried everything I found. Including Odin and heimdall.

It was running Gingerbread 2.3.5 when I updated it myself to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3. It was running beautifully. Then I tried to recover my backed-up data, which worked, but then I tried to reboot the phone and it wouldn't boot.

And no, I don't remember seeing any "flash counter." Would they still be able to tell?

Has anyone sent a bricked phone in to Samsung before? If so, what were the results?

Also, how much do you think Samsung would charge me to fix it if they found out and voided the warranty? Hopefully less than $50? And they would charge me for shipping too, right?
[General Questions and Answers] cessprin00:
You recovered your apps thru TB? If yes, Didn't you read that you're not supposed to restore apps from titanium from GB to ICS? Might cause problem like this. No flash counter, they're not gonna notice this. Have you tried flashing again stock GB rom?(not just a kernel but a rom) And when you flashed that GB kernel, was that after you flash an ICS rom? Remember, when you're on ICS, you must use ICS kernel and not GB kernel. If it didnt work Just make a good story! Tell them you updated it through kies and updating was interrupted. Im pretty sure 2.3.6 is out on captivate. If they tell you its your fault for updating it, ask them why did they put update on kies when you can't even use it. Plus, they didn't warn you not to update it.
[General Questions and Answers] random_person1308:
No, I used Clockworkmod to recover data. It worked, and then I hit "reboot system now," and the phone wouldn't boot.

I already shipped the phone off, but thanks for the help, I really appreciate it! If Samsung doesn't fix it I know what to do now!
[General Questions and Answers] random_person1308:
Ok, so I've been doing some research over the past few weeks and I figured out what I did wrong. I inadvertently tried doing a Nandroid restore (i.e. - restoring the whole system) instead of just apps. And I didn't wipe data first. That's why it was failing to boot. Why I couldn't flash the stock kernel from Odin; I have no idea.

As for the phone; Samsung fixed it free of charge (all they had to do was a reset...) and sent it back to me.

After getting it back, I rooted and installed Clockworkmod recovery using Corn kernel version 7.05. Geeve420 has an excellent guide over on androidforums.com. Then I flashed Cyanogenmod9 RC2, then Slim ICS version 4.2. It's running smoothly, though in 24 hours I have had 1 freeze (I did a battery pull and restarted) and a few force closes.

I also installed that Google Now app (the thread on XDA is called "The Google Now for ICS Project"). In other words, I went from being a complete n00b to getting JellyBean software on my phone! All I did was follow the directions, step-by-step, and it worked.

Thanks to all who helped!
