[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STARSHIELD:
first off, im not sure if im putting this in the right forum section, forgive me if im not :Palso this is long, but please read on.

anyway heres whats up.

Recently the Nexus S line started receiving their 4.1 update. I have a Nexus S 4G (so obviously Sprint). Angry - again- that the 4G model did not get the update (or will be anytime soon) i rooted my phone again after some time.

after some random issues with it (apps would crash constantly) i attempted to switch to CM10. that didnt work. so i went to CM9 and then CM10. everything was fine until the phone would reboot on its own from time to time and every now and then i would pull the battery. After some time the issues stopped.

NOW, the other night my phone died. this morning i decided to charge it. after charging for about 20 minutes i attempted to turn it on, but i ended up getting stuck at the bootlogo (Google with the unlock) i pulled the battery, and tried again. Same thing. I proceeded to go into recovery and flash a ROM that i knew was safe to boot into, except, the SD card would not mount- saying there was an error. Thats where im at now. the SD will not mount, and im stuck at the bootlogo. I believe i "bricked" my phone.

heres what i need help with. I locked the bootloader with Fastboot,but i still have CWM on the phone. i cant delete CWM without getting into the SD card, but the SD card refuses to mount. I want to get CWM off, so that i can send the phone in for repair/a new one. my warranty - although void now - still has a 5 months left on it. Im not worried about switching the ROM because the phone wont boot anyways,which means that when i give in, they wont be able to do anything besides see that its not rooted.

TL;DR

i think i bricked my phone, but i still have hope for it. SD wont mount, and im stuck at bootloader. i need a way to either fix this, or delete CWM somehow. Im on a Nexus S 4G.

PLEASE! Any suggestions are appreciated!

Do u have a backup showing when u go to backups?

Or is it SD card not mountable at all?

Next can u mount via USB?

If so copy ur SD to then format it.

Do u have a backup of ur SD card on ur computer b4 this happened?

If so then try to format SD card then put ur backup in it and then flash a backup or new ROM.

Vs Nexus S 4G

if you have fastboot then you can flash factory images... read this guide a couple times before trying it

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STARSHIELD:
no backups at all, but even if i did, the backups would be stored on my SD card,which i cant access. when i go into CWM and go to install zip from SD card, it says "error mounting SD card"

ill check that out. another issue im having is that i think i found a way to fix this, but i can only fix it if my bootloader is unlocked, which, in attempt to mask my errors, i locked, and now i cannot unlock it. when i press "yes,unlock my bootloader" the phone freezes up. i need some way to unlock my bootloader OR enable USB debugging from my computer. thing is, while i DO have all the drivers for my phone, the computer will not recognise the phone. It makes a sound when i plug in the phone, to show something IS plugged in, but it does not show up in my drives.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doa4ever:
Is the phone locked by a provider?

CWM works? Format all - data & system & cache & SD CARD.

Then use ODIN to flash a proper stock firmware, unlock & root your phone one again.

A lot of work but necessary...:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STARSHIELD:
heres the catch about CWM, i can format all my data and system and wipe the cache. When i format the system, that also formats the SD.BUT under the advanced options in CWM, i cant format ONLY the SD. it gives me a mounting error. And i believe i found a solution through linux, but i need the bootloader unlocked, which i locked up again. Everyone says odin is the way to go but i cant get it on because the SD is unmountable.

is there some sort of adapter i can plug into the USB port at the bottom of the phone that lets me attach an external SD? i believe if i can attach an external SD card which contains the things i need such as a stable ROM, then i can get the phone working. i came across a website which repairs bricked phones. In a video of a Nexus S brick repair, the tech guy installed some files through a "jig"(?) do you think if i can get my hands on one of those i can fix my phone?

Looks like 'm jumpig the Sprint ship ASAP and going to Verizon.

http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/31/verizon-can-no-longer-charge-for-tethering-fcc-declares/

Verizon has been slapped with a $1.25 million fine for charging customers to use their cell phones as a mobile Internet hotspot, and has declared that it must allow tethering for free. Google must also reinstate tethering applications from its Android store, which Verizon had asked them to remove. This is especially great news considering more Android devices (and perhaps the next iPhone) are 4G compatible, making mobile Internet nearly universal for Verizon customers. Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T customers should prepare to be gripped by overwhelming jealousy, as it only applies to Verizo

So they won't charge for tethering but the plans are still expensive and capped... I'll stay
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Ummm so?

I already have WiFi tether, and there are non root tether apps in the market. You go have fun tethering your limited 5gb data that costs you $100 a month. I'm going to stick with what I have.

Enjoy your jealousy over our savings and unlimited data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpapa:
I thought the judgement was that they couldn't block access, not that they couldn't charge for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slvrap1:
Even with the family share plan the most you can get is 10 gigs.....if you heavily rely on tethering get ready for huge bills
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
You know it's just about unblocking the apps? Nothing about the plans has changed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] habitformer:
Why would you leave a unlimited plan to go to where you data is capped and expensive as well? There are unrooted tethering apps and rooted as well even rom with wifi hotspot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
Might want to do a little research on what the FCC actually ruled on today. It is just stating that Verizon cannot block 3rd party tethering applications from the Markets. They can still charge for tethering if they want just by charging the customer for the "app" but Verizon is getting away from tethering plans anyways so this is not really newsworthy.

i have evernote so i can take notes in class, i have the calendar to schedule appointments but what else can i be using for a business solution ? or just productive in general. i have splashtop HD but how can i move files on my home computer to my tablet ?

what other things do you recommend to make this tablet do some work !
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
A little research on the forum wouldn't hurt. Have a look at the list of the apps for the Infinity we've been jointly creating.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
they are all either for games or for general tablet use, i want specificially named apps that would make the tablet a workstation, or creative ways to use this, not just apps themselves. for example, people shouldnt wait for a 3g model, root your phone and wifi tether your already exsisting data plan.

so far the only office suit ive found for free is kingssuite office , and using BOX from this thread gives 50 free gb of cloud storage http://lifehacker.com/5887769/grab-50gb-of-free-storage-for-life-on-box-by-using-the-android-app other tips are welcome
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
If you root and own a keyboard dock, you might want to check out setting up a Debian or Ubuntu chroot. Think of it like desktop linux in an application, letting you run software like Libreoffice or Gimp. Since those applications are made for desktop computers and laptops instead of tablets, they're a lot more flexible.

I've got a Debian chroot set up and its pretty sweet. Apps are a little slow to launch, but once they're up they act pretty fast. I'd write a tutorial, but I"m having trouble getting it to cleanly shut down. If you're not afraid to do a little googling, you should be able to set one up for yourself without too much trouble.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Often wondered why I have a tablet

Probably an ages old question...

I know the main reason is because I am a gadgeteer.

I do use the tab for navigation and other home user stuff.

Seeing more and more ipads and android phones used by small business owners.

A coffee hut near us is using a tablet as an order slate and a cash register.

The last time we dined at Chevy's grill they have tabs on the tables for gaming, texting, ordering drinks and cashing out.

As far as personal use for this owner I'm still looking for an application that will make the tab an indispensable item.

Maybe some day a tablet device will help an old-timer like me organize his thoughts :highfive:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
I'm going to agree with everyone else. Google or search the forums. But I will play your game sir...

Airdroid - hands down you have to download today, if you want to move files.

Team viewer has been the best remote software on my prime and Infinity for work. Much better than splash top, Log me in, etc all have issues where teamviewer has always been super smooth and consistent. Use it from my phone too.

Why I got a tablet

I admit I'm a bit of a gadget junkie, but I got mine for work as much as home. I'm a teacher of sorts. For a couple years now, I've been floating the idea of getting tablets for the instructors, rather than having multiple binders and notebooks (the analog kind) cluttering up a desk or podium.

I've taken all the PowerPoint slides I use for work, typed all the hand-written notes I had in multiple binders into the Notes Page view of PP, and I view them on my Infinity while I teach. I use EZ pdf to view them. While there are multiple apps that view .pdf files -- like Polaris Office, which comes with the Infinity -- EZ pdf allows me to write on them, using my finger or a stylus.

In addition, I've got my work schedule (multiple schedules, actually) in separate Google calendars, and I view them on Business Calendar or Calendar Pad. I keep a ton of notes in OneNote, though I'm thinking of going back to Evernote.

I've got a bunch of reference material and research articles in .pdf format, and I've bought the Kindle versions of several books that we reference. You can't beat having an entire bookcase in the palm of your hand.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Midnitte:
Just use google drive (or dropbox) to save your files too, no need to connect to your desktop.

edit: does polaris allow you to show powerpoints through hdmi but show any powerpoint slide notes on the tablet at the same time? :o

Hi, my dhd dosen't like undervolting. I was wondering why. Each time i try to undervolt my device it automatically freeze, definitly..(have to get out te battery to reboot.) I know that some series of dhd have different label of components. For instance camera some are samsung and some like mine are omnivision (buggy with JB). Maybe some series of dhd don't put up with undervolting.

Any ideas men thnaks by advance and my appologize for bad english

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitteridge:
Hi all,

I've been running the stock UK ICS, flashed with PC Odin, for a couple of months now. I rooted using Dr. Ketan's guide, flashing CF-Root, then flashed the speedmod kernel initially, but was not too happy with the battery life, then the NoteCore kernel about a month ago (can't remember the exact version).

So I haven't flashed anything new for a month. Today I noticed the phone getting very hot in my pocket, and noticed that it was stuck on the Samsung Boot screen (I hadn't restarted, so happened without my input). Taking out the battery and restarting didn't work, so I was worried by this. Restarting to CWM was also worrying, since I couldn't mount the internal or external storage - the phone wasn't recognised by adb either. I therefore re-flashed the stock UK ICS firmware using Odin on the PC, and this seemed to work successfully, getting the green light with Odin.

However, when it rebooted, I was stuck on the Samsung logo again, and he phone won't boot. Is the device bricked, or is there anything else I could try?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
Try flashing a gb rom then perform data, cache, and dalvik wipe before rebooting. Do this while in gb rom only.

And I dedicate this post to iSaint.

Oh yeah, I started that ****.

Started on one of my themes. He was really into calling first, so one day I took it and simply put "First. Sorry iSaint"

He replied with "Damn you!!!" or equivalent.

And then EVERYONE for a long while did it as well! And I mean everyone. Even lurkers then were doing it.

Good times.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Quite a journey you've had! Man hard to believe this is my first smartphone ever and already know the things I do! And uber will always be biggoron to me too! :p I know I loved this last mortify v2 and your cm9 theme was amazing (forget the name, the red one, haha) I jumped on this phone after the ec05 update and promptly rooted and flashed srf 1.2... good times... gonna hate it when I upgrade, but sometimes a little hate is a good thing :thumbup:
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
I was thinking about the first time I posted a thread, in the Q&A forum, trying to find the stock rooted EC05 tar. Ugothakd and this "Kennyglass" guy posted replies, like;"dude, did you check Dyehya's 'How to Unbrick your Epic' thread? Its right there!" I felt like such a moron, but Kenny was very encouraging. Come to find out he lives 20 minutes from me, originally from NY; kind of my "kindred spirit". Whenever I asked a question, he was the first to answer. I'm sure he regrets the day he gave me his Gtalk contact info...

[Epic 4G General] vwags:
How odd that just this morning I was thinking about how far things have come and the journey the Epic has had. You mention alot of what I was thinking but I was also remembering the journal/don't journal debates, RFS vs EXT4, battery calibration by discharging your battery then pulling the battery with the charge cord plugged in, CIQ just to name a few more. When was the golden age of development? For me it begins with the Epic since that is the first phone I even new could be improved by you guys.

Thanks for taking the journey and helping us lurkers out.
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
Ah yes. I remember all of that! I was all about calibration.

i was a journaling off kind of guy. But until MTD it was EXT4 4 life!

And when k0 found and removed ciq. And then it went kind of unnoticed for a long time. And then trav made such a big deal it set a ball in motion.

Thanks! Maybe i should just make a list of topics that arose with the Epic.

But I digress... Darkie is onto something here. I love to remember the old days. I learned to root at my youngest son's 11th birthday party. The laser tag place had free wi-fi, and I brought my laptop and watched all of Randyshears and DJR3Z' videos on rooting...

DRockstar...Noobnl...Bthomas22x...TPhillips...JohnCorleone..everyone helped everyone else. Magical!
[Epic 4G General] sgtkwol:
Your post got me thinking about how much I'm learning. Even if it is so late in the lifecycle of our phone. It'll be a bittersweet day, when I find my I9300 for a good price and move on from this phone. I'm sure I'll keep my Epic, although it'll be in eternal airplane mode. It'll make a nice crash machine, mini tablet, media center remote, etc.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
And that carries on to other device forums...except those with their devices stuck up their ass report those posts as trolling! I snuff those as quick as I get them.

Nice trip down memory lane! I finally jumped on the rooting and flashing with DK28 because I needed Flash to work on out Epics for my GFs website to show up. Then the Best Buy tech was walking around with his Epic flaunting his Froyo so sat my ass down and read and read. Flashed SuperNova first, then Midnight the next day, then determined to get the SuperNova bootani on Midnight, then Bonsai where I became part of that team, then the rest is history. Once the bug gets in you it is tough to get it out.

Nice Epic history my friend!

May the Epic live forever as the first of it's kind to boldly go where no phone has gone before with a slide out keyboard!

Wow darkie, I remember alllll of that. God ViperRom...and BakedSnack lol. hero_over! Lol. Jesus that was bad...but BakedSnack was my first ROM. But Viper quickly stole my heart...and Rodderick's kernel were just so....good. the best.

I remember when froyo went official OTA, and the freaking mayhem that ensued in that thread trying to teach the noob how to pull it.

And Zanderman! Darkie, the zanderman saga was amazing. And I remember he was waiting for....the lock screen mod? Yeah, I think it was that...I remember referencing it in that thread ("somebody tell zanderman") and the OP didn't know what I was talking about...so sad lol.

I've been here pretty much since the beginning, and although my OG epic is my secondary phone, I still have this forum favorited and pop in every day.

What amazes me darkie, is that you seriously lurked for that long. I heard of you and always thought you were on a different device. That's some serious stealth, considering my time spent on xda rivals the mods. To think that you were here before dk28 (those who don't know dk28 should spend some time in the zombie threads) amazes me.

Oh yeah and...when's tmiller gonna get tv-out working? :p
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
I got my Epic like 2 weeks before Froyo went OTA I kept checking every day to see if I got it. After a few days I got ticked off and started searching and came across XDA and haven't left LOL.

[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
gotta love the trips down memory lane.. :)

My epic barely made it 12hrs before it was rooted.. And that's mainly cause i didn't go home right after i got it. ;)

Had my moment rooted and on froyo, so it was only a matter of minutes once i was rooted that i updated my Epic.

Rodderick's genocide kernel was one of the best kernel's i've seen for this phone. Loved learning all the stuff i did as the crashtest dummy for ERA and a lil more..
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
This feels a lot like watching the last season of a favorite TV show that I've watched since the pilot...

I'd like to add the prologue to my own Epic journey:

Our last family plan was with VZ, and we decided to switch to Sprint when VZ made their $30/month data fee mandatory - I'm the tech guru in my family, and even I was still resisting the jump to smart phones (I knew I'd become an addict... lol). All carriers were making the same sort of move, but Sprint had the best price, and unlimited data.

Then I almost got the Evo... thankfully, VZ tried to screw us with an early termination fee, exactly 24 months after the last two year renewal. We decided to put up with the extra month of service instead (screw yourself, Verizon), and the Epic came out a few days before we signed on with Sprint. The keyboard was all it took to make me forget the Evo (whew - close call)

A quick search brought me to this forum, and within a day I had read and downloaded everything I needed for the first root method - before the phone was even in my possession :)

I didn't need a puzzle lock screen to pursuede me, lol
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
I was stock for a year! Such I waste. I can't explain how much I hate touchwiz. I always knew rooting was on option but was afraid for some reason. I don't know why because I am computer fluent.
