you might have to buy a "Factory cable" but there should be a program that lets you send fastboot to a dead device...

oh rly? how did you send it? is it just a different fasboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
I just edited the tar that contained it and removed the radio-cdma.

flashed it with odin then was able to use android and re-unlocked the bootloader with the toolkit, then flashed the tar with the radio-cdma just in case, and then relocked the bootloader.

Now i can send it in for warranty lol

okay so while i was at the fair tonight, i rode one too many rides and threw up on myself and had to go home (lame me) and in the process of getting in the car i stripped down to my boxers and shoes in order to not get vomit all in my car. well stupid me forgot to take my phone, which i had layed on top of the car, off of the top of the car before i left and didn't realize it until i got home... my question is does anyone know any apps that can decently ping the phone without the gps being on (or turn the gps on and do it) it has my google account on it so i can load apps but i can't set them up... please help i just got this phone last week and love it...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying the nexus 7. Came across this article that compares all the current tablets. Is the source accurate? Should I buy the 16gb or 8gb one?

[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
Specs look about right, except I think the Kindle fire has 1024x600.

For it's price and size the nexus 7 is the best. If you want full sized go for the transformer infinity.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Get the 16gb version asap. This device rocks. Very fast across the board.
[Nexus 7 General] challa3223:
there are a few not on the list dropping shortly. If you have 500 dollars i suggest Huawei media -pad 10 , 200, tegra 3 acer a110 similar nexus 7 less screen resolution but does has sd card slot and hdmi port. Might research more before you decide. and the nexus will get best support and development. so cant go wrong there either.

What do people think on how the n7 compares with Motorola xoom2 8.2 media edition which can be picked up for around 200 UK pounds...and will also receive the jb upgrade?
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
I was hoping that the 2011 tablets that haven't sold too well like the Xoom would drop to near fire sale prices because of the N7 but I guess not.
[Nexus 7 General] mchu6am4:
I think the xooms have dropped considerably in price...xoom.1 can be picked up for around 200..xoom 2 a little bit more
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Given that you are asking on XDA...the Nexus 7 is guaranteed to have a massive development following. Other tablets are hit and miss. For example, the A500 has way more development than the A200, event though the A200 was one of the first ICS tablets on the market. What is especially weird is that the A200 has an unlockable bootloader and the A500 does not. But by the time the A200 came out, all the devs already had an A500. Acer tablets are very close to stock google, and they are pretty good about updates, but you never know where the development will be. So the A110 may be a great tablet...but given the massive presence the N7 has in the 7" tablet development world...I have my doubts.
[Nexus 7 General] mchu6am4:
It's just that i have purchased the n7 and not sure whether to keep or sell and get the xoom 2 media edition 8.2 which i can buy for a little more than the n7?
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
You are correct sir.
[Nexus 7 General] qhinton:
I have the Acer A100 and a Xoom. The A100 is good battery sucks so unless you can get one for around 100-120 don't waste your time get the N7. I can't really say anything bad about the Xoom is has reliable and will get a JB update. Now I think the 7inch screen is too small and personally I believe 8 is the perfect size. so I might try the Xoom 8.2 once they are cheap enough.
[Nexus 7 General] mchu6am4:
So you think i should go for xoom 2, 8.2 media edition if i can get hold off one?
[Nexus 7 General] qhinton:
I just like 8 inches for a tablet not too big or small. For updates and support you can beat the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] mchu6am4:
Motorola is Google owned now and they have announced jb will be coming to xoom products!
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
I got my xoom for $200 brand new from Verizon on cyber sale Monday last November
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
That is $200 plus 24 times $ the amount you contracted to pay every month for two years. Not at all the same as owning a device out right.
[Nexus 7 General] bjrosen:
Get 16G

I got the 16G, would have been happier if they had an 32G option like the Galaxy Nexus phone or an SD slot but 16G is usable, I wouldn't consider 8G given that it lacks an SD slot.

The performance of the Nexus 7 is very snappy and Jelly Bean is a real improvement over ICS so if you are going to get a 7 inch tablet the N7 is definitely the way to go.
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
I can't find a Xoom for any cheaper than $300 still. If it was like 150 or less, it'd be bought in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 7 General] np231:
Do you guys think the price might go down during the holidays for Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 General] qpqpqp:
I don't think the price will go down soon with so many places being sold out and play store stop taking orders for the 16gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtbarry:
Unlike my last device the Galaxy Nexus does not come with Swype. So, I have been testing both SlideIT and TouchPal.

So, far I would give TouchPal a slight edge as it is easier to see the predictive word choices for me and adding to the dictionary is super easy. Accuracy of both TouchPal and SlideIT appear to be about the same with a slight favor to TouchPal for me.

SlideIT feels like it can do more, but maybe I have just not fully explored it yet. Or maybe the interface just seems busier to me.

Regardless, I think when my SLideIT trial ends in about 5 days I will opt to keep TouchPal. But as this is a neck-and-neck race, I can still be swayed.

Anyone have any thoughts that might help me choose?

Thanks!

!!!This is NOT for Nexus S 4G!!!

Hi all,

Bootloader version updated to I9020XXLC2, in JB OTA(4.1.1, JRO03E)

IMO, Bootloader is important because it's optimized for OS(Dunno it's exactly true)

For someone doesn't want to flash OTA and update Bootloader version, I decided upload this here :)

**How to check bootloader version?

Turn off ur phone, and then, press volume up button and power button. It will show u bootloader version.

1)

Here is fastboot flashable file in attatchment.

You need to type

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

FYI, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884

-Fastboot zip file is in this Thread. "Method 2"

2)

Flash via CWM-Zip file.

Then power-off your device(thanks to SuperSaiyan.IV, I dunno why:p)

Thanks to lar5, added md5check sum.

Is there a new radio too ? This is 9020 only right ?
[Nexus S General] daniozzo83:
can i update on ICS too? i want to stay on ICS(don't want update to JB for now)

This new bootloader can port me some benefits on ICS?

thank you....
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
Nope, no faster phone, no better reception... it's just only the bootloader.
[Nexus S General] daniozzo83:
thx for answer.

Another question: i tried jelly bean with full image (not upgrading with ota)...

I tried then flashing from CWM recovery doing full wipe data etc.

Did i installed new bootloader in this way? i noted some battery drain and UI lag. Maybe i had old bootloader and that created some problem?
[Nexus S General] Articudos:
There is no new radio.:(
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
I don't know what Jelly Bean "full image" you have flashed and whether the bootloader was included. But as said before: the bootloader isn't related to any battery drain or UI lag. It's just the bootloader, i.e. a piece of software bringing the phone into a state it can run the OS.
[Nexus S General] daniozzo83:
is it like bios on a pc?

Thanks for the info in your OP links! Still have a couple questions. I'm using the latest Jellybelly release, all is flashed, all is well, no issues at all. But still want the new bootloader, is this new bootloader the same for all nexus s's?

I have the i9020A and just want to make sure this won't cause an issue. Also, after installing the new bootloader, will it require being unlocked again? May sound silly, but I'd like to know before potentially erasing my SD.

Thanks!

Well, I never used NS4G, so this is just suggestion..

[If ur USB works in bootloader mode!]

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/sojus-imm76d-factory-10660f4c.tgz

Download this, and flash via fastboot...

Other method(If u don't want full wipe, maybe not working...Just try it..I never looked sojus update-script)

Unzip ****.tgz, and there will be file like "bootloader—*****blahblah.img"

Change to "bootloader.img"

Next,

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

(Similar way when u unlock bootloader)

I hope u can fix it..:)
[Nexus S General] Nexus85:
Thanks again, but thats just it,the phone won't connect via usb and no computer recognizes it due to (I'm assuming) the bootloader drivers not matching up. my computer has ns4g drivers and the bootloader is ns3g. I really wish I could fix it the same way I broke it but I've been uable to locate via google or xda a flashable D720 NS4G bootloader update zip that I can simply flash via cwm (the same way I flashed this one accidentally)
[Nexus S General] XxSilent22xX:
Download the a pure stock rom HERE and flash in cwm.

*This may or may not work because i am not totally sure which and if either one of those roms has your bootloader. also i am not sure if flashing stock through recovery will flash correctly.

**You have wifi/data right? you can always download file with your phone and flash.

Ok i found your bootloader and i attached it to this post, i am not sure how to make a flashable zip with it though. but once you have a flashable zip you should be good to go.

I tried and I thought I had it but when I flashed the zip file I made of the boot img I got an error i cwm. I then attempted to replace the boot img in a custom rom & that failed too. I've looked online for someone who can fix it but have had no luck, I don't want to give up because the phone isn't bricked but since usb debug doesn't work I'm pretty much screwed.

After flashing this armory of a bootloader its probably best to poweroff the device after flashing from CWM or ADB. Just a tip.
[Nexus S General] catalinu:
Can't fastboot!

Hello, I just bought a phone (9020T) no-root, locked bootloader. with that bootloader version. I tried to unlock the boot but the phone is not detected at all in fastboot mode. In ADB everything is ok, drivers ok (in device manager), can get it through "adb devices". But when I boot in fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), I hear the ti-da windows sound (usb unpluged - from adb session), but no ta-di when the phone re-boots in fastboot. No exclamation mark in device manager, nothing. The USB receive nothing when in fastboot. Is it possible that the fastboot image is corrupted? Can I reflash it otherway? Or any other advice?

Thanks

EDIT - SOLVED - at least this step

The problem was the famous "broken power button"! I knew that I had problems with the power button (didn't work - that's why I try to flash a rom (4.2.1 or customized) with sleep tile in notification area).

I thought that the button is all the time OFF and don't switch to ON, but I finally understood that when when I boot in fastmode it freeze before installing device on the PC (I also had no volume up / down navigation in fastboot, a sign that it was frozen). So I ended to consider that the power button was permanently in ON position. I opened my phone and I measured the impedance on the power button. I had ~ 4ohms in off position of the button and 1.8 ohms (cheap multimetter.... probably should be almost 0) in on position. I measured also on volume switch where I had ~ infinite on off position, so I concluded that the button if blocked. I tried to see if I can resurrect it but no choice, so I took it off (unsoldered). I put the battery and the USB cable and it powered up and boot. From ADB I reboot it in fastboot and voila! The device popped in device manager! One problem solved! BUT...

I tried to use the Nexus Root Toolkit and it boots in fastmode and try to unlock the bootloader, but it asked me on phone screen if I agree for unlocking. I was able to use the volume to select Yes but I couldn't choose it with power! I had no option but to take the battery off. Starting from that point it was almost impossible to power it again. When I plugged the USB it shown the battery icon (charging). I tried every trick that I found on web, but nothing worked (even to fast plug / unplug many times the USB to overcharge it, but nothing). I was able only by pressing on the middle of volume (so Up and DOWN in the same time) and plus the USB to get to the screen of unlocking bootloader, but without the options YES/NO on the screen. Seems that it saves this state between boots, but why no option? Finally I was unable to boot at all, and it is like totally bricked :(

I thought that the power button is a simple switch ON / OFF, so I soldered 2 wires and I tried to touch them (short circuit) to simulate the ON, but nothing happened. Is it the button more complex that a simple switch? no ideea...

So now have a better phone than before (at least theoretically it should be able to fastboot), but it values zero because I can't power it on....

Check in security your device admins and if one has policy to restrict that. Probably some exchange policy.

If it is contact your exchange admins to clarify why its needed.

If it is not there is a list of save to remove apps, it also states what which does just in case you deleted wrong one.

Its in settings, security then device administrators then admins, if there any then click on it and you see what they allow or not to change.

If one has external SD or likewise disabled then you contact the policy admins. If its an app that set itself up as admin unallow it as admin and uninstall.
