the only way you can do that is if you're on 4.0.2, but i would bet you are on 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Just 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash "su.zip", reboot, done.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Wouldn't recommend relocking the bootloader. He'll just have to wipe again next time he needs to unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I would NOT recommend it either.

However, if he feels like he really has to re-lock, we now have a method that can unlock the bootloader without wiping, assuming you have root of course. (But if you ever lose root... you are screwed! :)

EDIT: I didn't realize that the OP had a Play Store device. Although I don't have one, the Play Store devices are said to NOT wipe when the bootloader is unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Thanks for the info. And just an FYI, my Play Store device does wipe data when I unlock the bootloader. Not a huge deal, but it does reset it to factory state.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
some people have said it didnt wipe when they unlocked the bootloader when they got theirs from the playstore.

i always assume its going to wipe everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teomor:
I had no idea that unlocking the bootloader would wipe everything, but I knew I had to unlock it first in order to root it so I could backup all my apps with Titanium Backup, so guess what happened.. :(

The thing is, if I hadn't done that, I would have waited for the official Jelly Bean from Samsung for quite a while, for my yakjuxw variant...

Pfff. Everything about this whole affair with ROMs, rooting, backing up, seems so weird and counter-intuitive to me. I just don't understand it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That just means you haven't done enough reading. :) It is actually quite simple and logical once you read and understand how things work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
I just dont like seeing the opened lock icon below the google logo when the phone boots up, But i just want root, and the stock recovery for future ota

So Rooting it and re-locking the bootloader doesn't limit the root functionality right?

and is there a possibility of having root + CWM + Locked bootloader ?

will CWM work that way ?

Plus whats the procedure to unlock bootloader without wiping device if your device has root + locked bootloader?

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
No.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Seriously? How often do you see the boot screen?

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Use segv11's app. It is linked in the "Unlock bootldr w/o wipe" link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoronaDelux:
Just FYI

I have a Google Play GN and my phone did NOT wipe upon unlocking the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
No issue for me personally. I change the splash logo on all my oem devices with my personnel symbol. Kids device their name in place of the Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandradithya:
Well my previous phone was an android which was never updated officially after eclair. Running Cm7 ports kinda lagged the phone which was pretty noticeable after 24 hours or so,

So i used to reboot it everyday to clear memory. and yeah, I guess old habits die hard :p and i just love the jellybean boot up animation, so no reason not to reboot it, and thanks a lot for your replies :)

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Cool :) Ill give it a try soon.

Yeah, i felt it was cool too for the first 3 months of having the Gnex but recently, Every friends non-google device i see (specifically the s2 or the s3) has the triangle on the splash screen, When they see my phone start up without the unlock symbol, they're all like "whoa dude, you still haven't modded your phone?"

then i'll go like "Nah, Why should i do that when i have the purest android ever and there's no need to mod this fast beast"

Long story cut short, i just wanna show off how awesome pure android is :P

Is it worth using HTCdev?
[HTC One X] taha198:
If you have used your phone for more tha 15 days without any fault (hardware fault) than yes, go ahead and unlock it and enjoy the world of amazing rom flashing.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
awesome another nag thread!

your HOX will never fly unless you unlock but make sure your device is in a perfect state
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
It's been fine and I've had it since launch.

Actually, the only problem I've ever had was the minor screen flex, but that's only if I push hard on the edge. (which I presume happens with any phone)

Do you think I should then?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
flex as in LCD ripple is normal provided your screen is rock solid and not physically moving up and down, if this is the case the ripple will reduce with time
[HTC One X] TommUK:
You're sick of waiting? Figure out how to get S-off then.
[HTC One X] crazy88:
I feel your pain, I am waiting patiently for S-Off, but want to install some custom rom's so bad. Since the phone (to me) is only about 6 weeks old i'm staying with stock for now. If S-Off takes another few months I think I will end up using HTCdev.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Please help out guys i think i have boughten a stolen phone the NS4G.

What do i do???

I'm scared of what's going to happen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
What makes you think that? Unable to activate on Sprint?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Because I don't want to activate it I just to use it for fun, but it connected to 4g and started to ring as I dialed a number. So I'm scared to as in what's going to happen.

I don't want to get in trouble.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g1user101:
You won't get into trouble. Just say you bought of Craigslist ans show some proof that you actually did. I've been through this trust me,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
Sell it, tell the buyer that you got it from a friend that didnt want it anymore, but you dont want it either, so you decided to sell it. With the money you gotfrom it, buy an other NS4G.

---===:::Greetzz, jojoost:::===---
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
What exactly do I do? Do i go to sprint and tell them I bought it off craigslist and show the text messages between me and the seller. I have the seller's Posting Id, cell phone number, and email address.

I want to keep the phone as a backup and learn from.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Well I paid 100 for it and no one else is selling one for that price I just don't want to to jail.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosterwp:
If I find a phone ringing even though I have not activated the phone yet, I would definitely inform Sprint about it if I was in your situation. If it were me, I would be completely honest about everything.

But the end decision is yours.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
I dont think you will go to jail for buying a stolen phone, haha. Just one tip, sit down, take a deep breathe, think more bright!

---===:::Greetzz, jojoost:::===---
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
Okay haha, well I'm going to be honest to sprint ill inform them. I just want to be able to keep the phone, and have them deactivate it I don't care if I wouldn't be able to activate it. Bad ESN or not I just want the device as playing/learning tool.

hi everyone, new here

first, i have a tf201 32gb on ics 4.0.3

i rooted the device yesterday with RootDebugfs and it worked perfectly, even played with it for a few hours

went to sleep and when i woke up today i saw some wierd error about android.process.media... somthing

panicked and shutdown my prime, now it won't boot again. it vibrates when i press the power button but nothing else...

i read some posts and realized it's in apx mode (device manager confirm that) and read some more posts and found out that i didn't install rootkeeper (@%!@#$%!@)

is there anyway to recover from this??

btw i tried every button combination possible for 3,5,15,30 and 60 seconds :\

also i read stuff about nvflash but didn't find anything that i can actualy use...

can i flash the device from apx mode??

or in other words, can i do anything at all from apx mode?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Engadget's review is out and one of the negative things they had to say about the Optimus 4X was the screen. They say that the screen isn't bonded to the front glass, resulting to not having that "floating icons" feel and more importantly, poor viewing angles.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] vcrp94:
Where did you see "poor viewing angles"? I am watching the review right now and it says respectable viewing angles. Besides the screen is very bright.. At least in the GSMArena test..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
18:20 of their video review. He didn't literally say "poor viewing angles", but I think that's what he means when he said "it just goes away". That's doesn't sound too "respectable".
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
I haven't noticed poor viewing angles at all. I can still see the screen at obscure angles.

Its no more or less visible at angles than my HTC Sensation was. IMHO, the screen is amazing on this device. Pin Sharp, natural colour reproduction, I have a wallpaper from Zedge of a forest with "God rays" shining through, looks simply amazing on this phone to me.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Don't the colors get washed out more and more as you look at the screen at increasing angles?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
Not really no, a tiny bit maybe but not worse than my sensation. Id call it more of a tint than a wash out, and surely a phone is a single user device, why do viewing angles matter that much?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
I get your point but I would still want a screen with great viewing angles.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
I think it does, to be honest, I was actually surprised how well I could see the screen from steep angles, considering what some have said.

The problem is, the best way to know if you will be happy is to see one in the flesh, but thats not so easy when it isnt available worldwide yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stesa:
its not so bad tbh

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Is that a One X on the right?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stesa:
yes sir
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
honestly why would anyone look at their phone from a 170 degree angle or even just 90? worthless requirement, just to say mine is better than yours. when all viewing angles from left/right/top/bottom works and equally the same within the 0-20/30 degree viewing, its as good as it should.

As long as its sharp and true colours represented and details are there representing all colours as they should, i am happy.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] zerooonekenobi:
I own the 4X and let me tell you the viewing angles are superb under normal light conditions. There is some visible glare under strong direct sunlight and viewing angles do become a bit worse but you won't have any trouble with it. It's quite good under direct sunlight.

For one I'm glad I choose 4x over S3 ore One X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] justrayen:
for me the 4x have the best display,very high ppi, i like the galaxy s3,but dont like the super amoled just because its a pentile display and the pixel are not tru hd
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
What's worse is all Amoleds have burn in or image retention that will happen in about a year or so.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Yaky Peanut:
Not convinced by this. I'm thinking of updating from an HTC Desire, which has an AMOLED, and it's beautiful. I have no problems with burn in. Maybe that happens if you leave the screen on for a couple of weeks on the same image, but that's hardly likely.

One of my big concerns is the 4x screen won't look as good in comparison. What's the brightness like anyone?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] m_primdahl:
I did exatly what you're thinking about!!

I've had the HTC Desire for a little over 2 years, and bought the 4x a couple of weeks ago.

Yes the Desire has a good screen, but the one on the 4x i way better!!

I always used the autobrightnes on the Desire, but it was often very hard to see the screen in the sunshine.

On the 4x the autobrightness works a little different. You set a base point, and the autobrightness changes relative to that.

That way it doesn't turn the brightness all the way up or all the way down.

I've set it to a base point of 20% brightness, at it gives me a screen that are easier to read outside then the desire ever did.

So if the screen is you only worry, go right ahead and buy the 4x. It's a big improvement over your HTC Desire.

The only thing I miss from the Desire is the notification LED (and ofcouse ROOT, but I'm sure that will come soon!!! :laugh: )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] atlexx:
i had a SAMSUNG GALAXY S with S-AMOLED before the O4X.

Amoled screens have perfect blacks , but those of the SGS and the Desire have also wrong "funky" colors

The le LG screen does not have perfect blacks, but is brighter , sharper (because of the pentile matrix, there is no amoled that sharp on the market) and has realistic colors.

talking about angle . what i can say is that i can watch the film, or read any message of someone sitting next to me ...

so for me the angle is not an issue: at an extreme position, it becomes dark, but the angle is so wide that, even if it could be clearer, it would also be unreadable with any type of screen technology.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Yaky Peanut:
Cheers for the detailed reply. Nice to know it's better in sunlight, because I always found the Desire was awful.

I tend not to use auto-brightness though in fear of it draining the battery to much. I just had my Desire at 15% and that worked fine in most situations, except bright outdoors :P

Once your battery is low and you put your phone on charge, what sort of screen-on time do you normally have? I found typically I'd have 2 hours of screen-time from my Desire by the end of a day, 15 hours or so off the charger, and that would be about 20% battery remaining. What's it like for the 4x?

Unfortunately the LED is probably the biggest killer for me then. I love having the light on the Desire, especially since I've got it rooted and Handcent can use blue and pink and stuff. Looks awesome :P I know one isn't supposed to play the waiting game, but I'd hate it if I bought the 4x and then in 2 months time, a phone with similar specs and an LED came out :S

Such difficult decisions...

Ok, so I upgraded the rom on my Dell Streak 7 a long time ago. I remember having this problem , but forgot how to get past it. When You boot up for the first time and it says welcome and has the "next" button, it does not work. I remember having to skip activation and then adding the google account in the store etc. So the four corner touch or swipe DOES NOT WORK. How do you get past the activation screen???

This is killing me.

Need help bad brothers!

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Reflash again.

Try the four corners while holding it in landscape.

I know there is a command to bypass activation, best bet is to use adb and pull the build.prop and edit the line that has to do with the activation wizard.
