No Romanian HTC phone can be unlocked by codes from the HTC database.

Reason is this : The Romanian networks relock their phones with their own code therefore the code is changed to what was set initially at factory hence the factory code would be wrong.

The only way to unlock this is using a unlock device, you can pm me maybe I can help you out with some shop in Romania that does this for you.

Thank you.I sent a PM.
[Nexus S General] AlanS181824:
I just now got the update for JB 4.1.1

Heres how I did it....

(Note this is just if you don't get the notification saying the update is ready and you have the requirements to update)

1> Make sure your on stock 4.0.4

2> Make sure you have Nexus S variant i9023 & i9020T

3> Check for an update just in case if one is there ignore all the below steps

4> Go to App>All>Scroll down to "Google Service Framework">Clear its Data

5> Go back to System update in about phone and check for an update (It should say something crazy like "Last checked 1/01/1970

(Sometimes you must do this several times for it to update)

6> Download & Install

7> Enjoy!
[Nexus S General] rubenflush:
I hope that will work! Thanks!

Glad to help

If I help do you mind thanking me? thanks

[Nexus S General] antreasrx8:
huh?

emmmm..... just lost directions on the last step. Cleared data and

I can see the weird date. 1/1/1970. then I press check now or wait for an update notification?

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] z80dan:
Yeah, just click on "check now" - if it works it'll put up a 4.1.1 information screen and start downloading straight away.

I'm in the UK and i've been trying this technique to force the update over the past few days...with no luck. This afternoon it worked!
[Nexus S General] muziqaz:
Somehow have no desire to sit and flip through setting menus back and forth.

It's never easy with UK :(

Mine is I9020XXKI1 stock 4.0.4
[Nexus S General] muziqaz:
haha, was sitting next to the phone, thought will try once again. Erased data, and through the phone on to the bed not expecting anything and going on with my stuff on pc, and noticed with the corner of my eye whitish screen :D JB here I come

CM9 problem

What should be done if I am already on CM9?

I currently have a 9023 with CM9 RC1. I tried forcing the OTA to appear (clear + stop google framework and then check updates). However I am still not getting the update.

Will I have to first move back to stock ICS 4.04 or can I keep CM9?

Any ideas what I should read to move back to stock ICS?
[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
I got mine just like that but, I cleared the framework data, then tried checkin and the update on the configs. Nothing... Then went to work, and forgot it. Then, I had to send a whataspp to my wife and there it was the OTA.

Buttered smooth, oh yeah
[Nexus S General] keftess:
Did you have CM9 when you got the OTA or did you revert back to stock ICS ?
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
You failed to mention that you usually have to do your directions at least ten times before it shows up.
[Nexus S General] darko.baruh:
After 3 attempts it worked. JB update is in the middle of downloading. I hope that everything will be ok. Thanks.

P.S. I was on stock 4.0.4 locked and not rooted. My phone is from wind - Canada but I live in Israel and I'am on Orange provider.
[Nexus S General] jayjay3333:
Pulling the SIM or going into airplane mode with WIFI on is best also. Make sure your wifi is a strong signal. Just reiterating what was said here a thousand times. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1736645

If you are not on stock do this.

None,I am on pure stock.
[Nexus S General] salochinnicholas:
It WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleared data according to first post then airplane mode then code *4
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
This is ace! So much faster everything seams to work smooth and faster!

Like I said in last post. Cleared data > airplane mode > code. Noticed that it probably worked on the first code punch, because it was already downloaded when I checked in again.

Clear data in Google Framework, reboot to recovery and clear cache/dalvik cache in CWM. Reboot and got the update notification.

Too bad for me, I've deleted GoogleEmail.apk previously and got assert failed when installing the update.

Anyway, for those who are waiting for ota notification, the ota zip downloaded 9ZGgDXDi.zip is exactly the same as that found on http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/ or http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9020t/ for 9020T variant. Just download and flash with CWM.

[Nexus S General] OtiAU:
Hi there,

New here, and thought I'd try out the suggested steps to force the JB update on my Nexus S.

I've lost count now, but I've tried the steps at least 25 times over the last 2 days, with no luck.

My nexus s is a I9023XXKI1 model. Unlocked. I'm in Australia, so I'm unsure if it's due to my location or (major city) I'm just not doing something right. :confused: (I've followed the steps as they are written)

Any advice? Assuming ill just have to wait until it's available OTA..
[Nexus S General] eim21048:
me too, the same model as your, no luck! !!:banghead:
[Nexus S General] Gadderloat:
I have the same model and I'm in the exact the same situation as you. What carrier are you on? I'm on Telstra, so I don't know if that's affecting it at all.

Here's hoping to an update sooner or later. :(
[Nexus S General] OtiAU:
I'm with TPG, they use Optus lines. However, I bought the phone unlocked.. So I'm not sure if the update is reliant on the provider initiating the release or if it's just done gradually by Google through out the world.. I even did a factory reset to see if that would help!

Also, my Nexus is running stock 4.0.4. No roms.
[Nexus S General] Gadderloat:
Yeah, mine's also running stock 4.0.4. I would flash the update from the servers, but I don't really want to risk it. I guess us Aussies will just have to be patient until we get our share of Jelly Bean. *sigh* :(
[Nexus S General] AlanS181824:
That puzzled me as I thought Aussies were the first to get the 4.1.1 update on the Vodafone network, but anyway.

Ok for you guys having troubles I would recommend this:

1> Either take out you sim or put your phone into Aeroplane mode

2> Attempt the "trick" mentioned in my 1st post (try this at least 5 or 6 times)

3> Still nothing? Try Dialing *#*#2432546#*#* which should force the device to check the Google servers to see if an update is available

4> Check whether an update is available via Settings

If this doesn't work I am really confused as to what to do and if I was in this situation I would have 2 options:

Download the update from the Google servers and itstall it manually (Link for official 4.1 for i9023/i9020T variants is below) or

Simply wait for the update to come.

I am trully sorry for this guys and hope you receive your update soon!

Link: MOD EDIT (Replace underscore (_) with dot(.)

Sincerely,

AlanS181824
[Nexus S General] keftess:
So if you're running CM9, there is no hope of ever getting Jelly Bean without having to do a full wipe? I can't afford having to install all my applications and contacts again...
[Nexus S General] roshan567:
worked like a charm..

thank you so much
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
Your contacts should be backed up to your Google account.
[Nexus S General] AlanS181824:
Well if you simply wait Cyanogen will almost definitely release a version of CM with JB so just be patient :cowboy:
[Nexus S General] BunkerGuide:
Many thanks!

Worked perfectly. :D
[Nexus S General] -CMX:
Another Aussie here, I've got an unlocked i9020T with Optus. So far none of the methods suggested have worked. I'm not very familiar with how OTA updates work, especially on an unlocked and non-carrier branded phone.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steverg:
Ive flashed to cm9 and I can not get any external device to connect via the dock. Any one had the same issue ?
[HTC EVO 3D] f4k3pyr0:
By installing a different su i will replace the current one right? Or will i brick it etc
[HTC EVO 3D] greeg32:
I've wondered about this too. I'm sure no brick, worst case maybe have to reinstall a rom; but do you grant new superuser root access with old superuser then delete old superuser?
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
In the old superuser application, you must go to settings and press the "prepare for new superuser application" button.

Once you have that done, download the new one and it should work from there.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I don't see that option in the settings of the Superuser app. I was always under the impression that you could install the new app, update the su binary using the new app (giving it superuser privileges from the old app), and then removing the old app.
[HTC EVO 3D] Simba501:
I've done this in the past with no issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] f4k3pyr0:
Thanks y'all but I installed a new rom, last one i had was outdated as hell
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
Ok, I've been thinking about this for a while now so I'm going to make a test to decide if I really need a battery saver. I'm making this test for myself purely but I thought someone might wanted to see the results as well so here we go.

The gear:

Samsung Galaxy S2, non-rooted

2000 mah Samsung battery

The competitors

Phone on its own

JuiceDefender Ultimate

GreenPower Free

The settings

Prefer Wifi over data

Connect every 30 min to sync

No night settings (to be fair against the others)

Screen brightness: Auto

I know the battery savers are made to save battery when not using your phone so the screen will be locked the phone only used for a small amount of time between chargings.

The phone is unplugged at 100% and I will continue down to 30% before charging again. I will only be testing each one once, as of now at least.

We'll see how it goes over the next days so feel free to ask questions and such.
[Galaxy S II General] Samzung:
Many people I know with an S2 use battery saving apps but i really see no point in them, when we used to compare our stock phones running the same stock ROM there was minimal battery difference. Haptic feedback will be off or on? That makes a big difference.

You should put in a custom ROM to see how much better it is compared to stock.

i look forward to seeing the results of this test though :)
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
If I got it correctly haptic feedback is phone vibration on touch, right? That's off at least, never liked it. I'd like to put a custom ROM but I don't want to root the phone, yet.. Maybe in a few months or a year...

I will be updating this as we go along. At the moment we are at 96% with 3 hours of sleep time and only a few minutes of screen time.
[Galaxy S II General] darkmage17:
Ermm, can I ask does task killer drain your battery? Sorry if I ask the wrong question.
[Galaxy S II General] republicano:
task killer will drain battery if the programs you closed restarts, use advance task killer and ignore those that do,you may need it for those apps that didnt close properly

im interested in your trial, juice defender service was failing to run on my s2, it ended up eating my battery restarting the service.

im looking to save power as i lose 15% over night with flight mode while i hear people lose 1,2%
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
Yes Android is a bit different than computer OS. To start an app drains more battery than just pushing the "back"-button and let it be in stand by so don't use task killers.

Yea I have had trouble some times with the battery saver draining quite a lot over the night but usually it has been because I had a mail as a widget with push-notification so the battery saver wouldn't disable internet but almost push all my other accounts as well. That was my solution at least. We'll see how this goes.

4h in 93% battery

15 min scrren time
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
A little update. You see where we are.

And does anyone know what can have caused this? This is a picture from a few days ago. It has happened maybe 10 times over the last 2 months. Simply the phone gets hot and the only way to unlock the screen is to remove the battery, refit it and then start it. And then it shows this massive drain.
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
Okay we got 1 day 13 hours down to 30% with 30 min of screen time. Next up is the Juice Defender Ultimate with night settings off.
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
An update for you all. As you can see JuiceDefender has already passed the "vanilla" time.
[Galaxy S II General] 2oo2:
I had an odd problem. Sometime during night, the battery suddelny decided to drain at much faster rate and it took it only 6 hours or so to drain from 75% to 15%. I checked with BetterBatteryStats but there seems to be no app that has kept it awake. Anyway, I can't continue with this test spimply because I don't have time for reruns.

What I can say in previous experience:

Vanilla

Great that as soon as a message comes in you get notified immediately.

Unfortunately that's because wifi or data is kept on all the time, draining battery.

JuiceDefender

Usually gives my phone 3-4 days of battery.

It does take some time (up to 15 sec or so) when you unlock the screen to connect and that can be annoying if you are in a hurry.

When I have night settings on to set phone in no vibration, no sound but also have different night setting time for weekends the phone vibrates once at midnight between weekdays and what JuiceDefender recognizes as weekend.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like the apps are updating even though settings are set to allow "dumb apps" to update as well as plenty of time to do so.

GreenPower

I have only had time to use it for a few days and it is only the free version. I will probably buy the premium soon.

It has a better UI than JuiceDefender though not so many settings. I'm not really sure if I need those other settings.

Best thing, it connects instantly to data when I unlock the phone so I can get on to the web or viber or such to see messages directly.

If anyone wants to continue this thread you may do so but I won't make more test as for the moment. Bottom line is that the data turning off when phone's locked really do help with battery life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfs_mihai:
Hi, I'm looking for a ROM that can play music very well and will also play FLAC files without interruptions or buzzing or any other distortion. I have been using MIUI XJ but I understand development has stopped and recently it seems it doesn't do the job anymore (weird buzzing during playback every now and then). Maybe its not the ROM, i don't know. Tried with 2 sets of headphones and it's the same.

At the moment I am about to install MildWild CM5.

Awaiting suggestions!

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Maybe try this one: http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=2365

Also which music player are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannySID:
I recommend RunnyRom...trust me it's the best i've seen, it has beats audio and other stuff,dont really know if there is much of a difference but it sounds better than my pc...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Beats audio on Desire is just equalizer setting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannySID:
Well yeah...like i said idk if it is a difference but...it still makes it the best rom for music :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
The fact that OP prefer FLAC files over mp3, I would assume he listens to his music without any or with little use for equalization.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfs_mihai:
Thank you all for replying.

Well, I will take a look and maybe give it a try. I'm using the default player in MildWild, Play Music v. 4.1. Before that it was just MIUI Music. Tried PowerAmp a while ago, but it really didn't impress me enough to convince me it's worth paying for.

I had (still do) considered RunnyRom as an alternative. I had used a ROM with Beats Audio before and it was awful. Beats Audio did not work, everyone recommended swapping it on the installation for DSP Manager, the latter being present in MildWild as well. Beats is pretty wide spread these days, but it doesn't always function properly. It's just a brand gimmick anyway.

This is correct. I don't ever use equalizers, although there are a few exceptions. With the HTC Desire I think it's mostly the headphones that make a difference. Unfortunately I don't have good ones. Bought Sennheiser CX 280 and the cable noise is like someone is tapping on the damn thing with their fingernails every step I take.

So thank you all for the suggestions. I will be checking them out. I was really hoping for a ROM specialised in music, I guess there isn't one.

s-off

my htc haven't image on display

it vibrates after 12-15 seconds and sound of quietly brilliant about 3-4 minutes, sometimes not

in device manager the phone is seen as HTC Android Phone USB Device, under Disk Drives

is creeping me out, i don't know what it must be done:mad:
[HTC ChaCha] user_unavailable:
Bootloader

Have you tried booting into bootloader?

If so, boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then "wipe data/factory reset" and try booting it.

might restore the data later under advanced restore...

Hope this helps you out

:fingers-crossed:
[HTC ChaCha] stiksuri:
thank you for answer

that was the first thing done

now i observed much weird situations

try to put into boot -> vol down+power ; does not start into boot

just vibrates and presume starts normaly :confused:

when it is pluged into computer or charger red led show very very low light, visible only in dark

plugin out led not off, same low light

how can i roll back in stock rom in this situation? is another way to plug into computer to flash?

is seen when fully start only under disk drives like htc android phone usb device

and it shocked me, when i put a sim in it, after starts (about 5-6-7 minutes) i can make a call from other phone to it

the screen is ok, i tried on another phone
[HTC ChaCha] alex xander:
you could try using a app to boot into recovery, like rom manager
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Wait, wait, wait.. Can you see anything on your display? Does it even power on? If not, I'd say take it to a service.

*You should at least see the bootloader. That's not ROM related.
[HTC ChaCha] alex xander:
1. Do a "Factory data reset" through Settings>SD and phone storage>Factory data reset

2. power off

3. remove battery

4. reinsert battery

5. THEN vol down+power to get to recovery

6. In CWM go to "advanced"

7. wipe battery stats

8. wipe davlik cache

9. back to main cwm menu

10. wipe cache partition

11. wipe data/ factory reset

12. should be done, but you could repeat 6-10 to be safe.
[HTC ChaCha] stiksuri:
both Alex just read the replays my friends

i cannot say same word over and over again

could be a short on motherboard? said that becaouse of the red led whitch just stay barely visible just after push power and stay like that all over the time

could be a battery issue?

or just be the display however?

i can receive call after it's starts completely, after 7 to 10 minutes, but i cannot see anything on screen
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Drop it to the service.. Why wait so much? If you can't see anything on your display, not even the bootloader, or even the display powering on..
[HTC ChaCha] stiksuri:
you're right

Good day, people.

[V1]

I want to present my ROM for GSM users. Based on 215 ics leak.

Some info:

1. As much as I could - removed verizon things.

2. Fixed Mobile hotspot for GSM users. (if it still doesn't work, add dun to your APN type)

3. APNs for GSM users are integrated

4. Added Russian language.

5. Replaced Messaging.apk with SMS/MMS.apk from cm9, because standart messaging app is not sending mms.

6. Deleted normal apps that can be installed from market for free.

7. Removed verizon libs

http://d-h.st/vE3

+++++++++++++++++++++

[V2]

1. Based on 217 fastboot files

2. Fixed Mobile hotspot for GSM users and APNs for GSM users are integrated

3. Added Russian language to new 217 build files.

4. Saved Messaging.apk (but edited countrycode to 7 and max mms size to 512KB), but still can't understand - sometimes it sends MMS here, sometimes not. Added SMS/MMS.apk from cm9 as well, for sending mms.

5. Deleted normal apps that can be installed from market for free.

6. Removed verizon and several moto things (like hidden motoprint, for example).

7. disabled cdrom automount when you connect droid4 to computer.

8. can't remember

http://d-h.st/gs2

Flash as safe-system in safestrap.

p.s. donations are welcome :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
This sounds good. Downloading now.

Did you remove QE from the boot process?
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
Sorry, what is the QE?

I'm bricked now, can't even support this ROM for some time...
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
It's a piece of spyware that runs on boot. Hashcode posted about it here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...6-16-206-ics-leak-safestrap-2012-06-17-a.html

and oh no on the brick.. what happened?

Your ROM seems to work fine BTW.. I'm no longer getting nagged to update a piece of Motorola crapware, and unlike the AOKP and CM9 ports I can actually make voice calls!
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
Ah well. Delete QETest.apk and QETest.dex from the /system/app before flashing. Hope it'll help
[Motorola Droid 4] niai_mack:
aye i like this rom, would there be any bad side effects if i was to flash this to my non-safe partition, as i am trying out things on my safe side all the time and want to use this rom as my main one.

this should really be a problem as we have fastboot files now (still little hazy on how these act different form when i had the G2).
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
this rom was made specially for saving non-safe system untouched. intall safestrap to non-safe system and use this one as safe system. you can anytime make nandroid backup of this system and restore after new leak will come.
