[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ180:
Right dude, the reason u got the android logo with an exclamation mark when u tried to recover your backup is because flashing stock rom will delete any custom recovery you had on ur phone (eg. clockworkmod recovery) and reinstall the stock recovery, and the stock recovery cant restore the backup u made, only the custom recovery can.

Since your pretty fond of how to root ur phone using the unlockr guide, just repeat the step where u flashed clockwork recovery using cmd, and then use ur phone to select recovery (to get to clockwork) and then restore the backup you made. make sure that backup ur gnna restore isnt the one that will delete ur custom recovery again (saves u having to flash it again using ur usb cable and cmd again) otherwise try flashing any brand new rom you would like, whether it be gingerbread, ics or jelly bean.

Oh and make sure u select: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache (in advanced settings) before restoring ur backup or flashing a new rom. Dnt worry my phone has this problem not connecting to t-mobile too sometimes, its either an uncleanly installed rom, or u simply gotta go into the settings and select the search for networks option, wait a while and select t-mobile from the list. it happened a lot with cm7, never with ics or jellybean tho . .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyaiphone:
OK I updated to JellyBean when it was first leaked and have just left it alone. Have been pretty happy with it. While today I have some free time so was going to spend it on XDA all day learning what else has been done since JB was first announced/released. I tried going into recover and CWM was not there. I still have superuser. I downloaded ROM manager and it seems to have installed CWM back on my phone.

Questions are:

Did I lose root?

How do i get permanent root back?

Sorry if there's been threads on this. I work full time, FT student, Getting married in 2 months, and in escrow. I've barely had enough time to take a dump.

Thanks for any help guys, really appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iceshark:
two files download when you take the OTA update that essentially revert you back to stock recovery. Go to the new Nexux 101 thread sticky on top of this page to find how to edit those two lines and simply load new custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mele:
First install root checker and verify you have root:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en

Second check if you have SuperSU in your apps, if not install it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.

Third and most Important:

When flashing a rom in CWM, you select reboot system, CWM will give you a warning about installing default recovery.

Select the "fix this" option and it will reboot. I suspect you didn't do this and you now have default recovery.

Install Rom Manager:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd

Open it and select option to flash CWM Recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyaiphone:
I didn't accept any OTA update. I flashed ACS's JellyBean ROM. I'm lost :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lafester:
rom manager requires root so you should be good to go.

you said you have all day to mess around on xda so maybe you should spend some time learning the basics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlexWekell:
Go back to stock, go through adb and push a new recovery image. Don't use CWM though, go with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
101 thread by efrant is definately a excelent resource. Everyone should read it, even if it is only to remember!

a few tips:

1- with the device in fastboot mode, reflash a recovery (latest versions of either twrp or cwm) with fastboot.

2- in a custom recovery, adb is rooted, so you can even mount /system with rw, and delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p

3- rooting android itself is as easy as booting a custom recovery with fastboot and flashing a previously copied supersu.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarackMitzvah:
I've been using CM7 now for over 6 months, keeping up with the nightlies etc. But now with all of these new ICS/JB roms and no new nightlies, what should I switch to? Are there any roms worth switching to that are really usable as a daily? I really would like to know what you all think.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalchameleon:
I tried Albinoman's Jelly bean rom and its not bad, however its definitely not a daily driver yet. I personally have been using drk.hd's build of CM9 for a few months now and It has been very stable. I definitely recommend it. This is my first ever post so I hope i didnt do anything wrong lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airkenada:
Kinada new to this. But

It is ok to charge the Samsung stock gsm battery at any percentage or should I wait till it low to charge it??

Like if I'm at 30% at night and need full battery for the next day, should I drain it to 10% ish or just let it charge from 30%??

Would it shorten the length of the battery or harm/damage the battery in any way??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
doesnt matter with lithium.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] realzahed:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses Li-Ion battery. So it doesn't matter if u charge it any way u like.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
Does leaving the phone plugged into the charger all night degrade the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohaimed:
yes it does.. overcharging the battery is not good. it may decrease its capacity. it is always recommended to unplug it when your phone is fully charged
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
- It is best to keep the battery between 20-80% and never fully discharge it except for the first time just for calibration

- It is preferable to use the pc for charging (slow charging is better)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sanyokt4j:
What you'd stated is true but doesn't the galaxy nexus have its own safety for this where it stops charging and runs off the battery til it drops to ~98-96% and then charges back up ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
Is slow charging really better? In my experience, when charging from AC, the battery lasts longer than when I charged it from my laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
It should be better because its cooler also its more steady than an AC Charger
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airkenada:
I just charge it at night before sleeping and unplug it when I wake up..taught the battery stop overcharging??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
No, the charger will stop charging when the battery is full. If it didn't, an explosion would awaken you at night.... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron-Marcus:
Hi there,

I flashed my s2 galaxy with the rom here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1696419

However for some reason on the two occasions i have flashed this rom everything works fine except for when i reboot, when i do that, the animation just loops on booting up, left it overnight to see if i havent waited long enough and have had no luck, so on the second occasion i thought i would flash the rom again after deleting cache/dalvik etc first and still have the same problem, is it something anyone else is having an issue with or is it just a bug in the rom? (couldn't post in the android development forum where this rom is posted due to being a new member).

thanks guys

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Data for browsing, etc works like normal... But I'm unable to stream any media on 3G, WiFi is fine and I don't have 4G. On YouTube I get an error about connection to the server being lost (something like that) - App or Browser - and Pandora/Songza just won't buffer, but the apps will load up fine.

Oh, also I on occasion will use WiFi tether to connect to the Wii to stream Netflix, but that works pretty well. Occasionally it needs to buffer.

Any guesses as to why, or more importantly how to fix this? I'm stock and rooted, LG8 firmware, but this was an issue prior to this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Update prl and profile. Are you in a weak signal area?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
So odd. I had updated both following my update to LG8 last week when I was at work... I just updated both again, and now all 3 are streaming just fine. I'm in a good signal area, and so is the are that I like to run in too. Weird. Guess it just needed another update. Thanks for the tip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cleeker:
I was able to fix mine by changing my Sprint network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
WTF. So now tonight it's broken again. Even re-updated the PRL, etc... This is annoying as hell. And on an unrelated note, anytime I try and copy a URL in Chrome it crashes and doesn't copy. And copy/paste everywhere else just doesn't work. So mad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
very interesting...the issue hit LTE evo owners too. ....I have a conspiracy theory but unfortunately can not share it.

those that have contacted pandora get a letter that they are aware of the issue and working on a fix.

Still nothing after another PRL and Profile update. This is some bull.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
Sprint is just slow and that's just how things are On 3g. There's nothing you can do to change Sprint 3g network it's old technology.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
If that were the case then it wouldn't have worked on my Evo... When it did. So, I'm thinking that's not the case...

Anyway, I will place a call to tech support this afternoon, I just need access to a 2nd phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Welp. Call 1 was no help. All they had me do was type in some code on the dial pad that took the phone through the hands free activation process. Didn't work (duh)... And then I was told to clear the cache and cookies on my browser (how that'd help Pandora...?) which also didn't work. He then told me he could set me up with an appointment at a Sprint store. Uhm. No. Have to try another tech.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
0 for 2. Again asked to update profile... Even after explaining I literally just did. Same with cookies/cache. When I reiterated that I can't stream via apps or a browser the tech sounded perplexed, and then we got disconnected.

So, is my best bet to unroot and take it in? Lame.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
No, it has something to do with their freaking network. They are updating a bunch of crap and its ****ing with our phones. Your best bet is to always be in a wifi area....lol. Sorry man, but Im in the same boat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcantol:
Has anyone tried the ##data# trick? Been working for all my customers give it a go and if it messes something up make sure to write down the settings so you can restore them

This will work rooted or not

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Word.

Tech called back and after many more updates to the profile etc... She told me the best she could offer was to do a hard reset... Maybe tomorrow, we'll see.

I'll try this... Where do I locate my MSL? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
I have already set my proxies to 0, it doesnt work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcantol:
Mine works just fine with the steps I gave did you touch the rtsp? I think that's the other server setting above the http

And for locating Msl you'll have to call or inline chat unless there is an app that I'm not aware of
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Yeah, I reset my proxies to 0 everytime I odin my phone. Ive been using that 3g hack since I had my OG Epic.

I'm dense... But which two do I edit? I got my MSL... Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcantol:
That's strange as can be this last week I did about fifteen customers phones and It worked on all of them. On YouTube do you get an error? I only ask because my customers would have the error can't connect to server or something like that and after the fix the video would just play
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Yea, can't connect to the server is the error I get. And Pandora, etc... Just spin and buffer...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Just out of curiousity, today I odin'd back to LEN, then wiped the phone from the /settings/privacy/factory data reset. I rebooted the phone and installed pandora and it worked. I restored my previous nandroid, pandora still worked. I updated to lg8 modem and firmware pieces, pandora didnt work. I odined back to len, installed my lg8 rom, but didnt update the modem pandora is working. I am so glad I found a solution for my pandora. Hope it works for others.

The thing I have noticed is that the data signal is real spotty with lg8. I did a speedtest with lg8 and got like 548kbs down, and it was up and down. I then did a speedtest in the same spot, with the same rom, with the LEN setup and got 1010kbs down, with a smoother signal. Im guessing that the signal on the lg8 is too spotty to establish a good connection, so it thinks its connected, then the signal drops, then reconnects, then drops, then reconnects, etc. so the buffering cant complete enough to stream.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Good to hear you found a solution. Sucks for the average user that doesn't have the skills or knowledge to fix it. Fortunately, adjusting the ##data# settings worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ztrewa:
this problem is very irritating, I have flashed every modem multiple times, flashed roms, and all to no avail. Hopefully gets on top of their business and fixes this. This is unacceptable for a flagship phone to not be able to stream media.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Did you try the fix posted a few above...editing proxies, etc...

Also, I used the app "Get my MSL" from the app store...it didn't get my MSL right away, but when I did ##DATA# and clicked on MSL/Edit, and then canceled, then tried to get my MSL I could...YMMV.

But I agree...it's unacceptable for ANY Smartphone to not be able to stream media.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] envy5000:
The data -> proxy settings changed worked. Does this count against roaming data though ?

Thank you for those who helped with the solution I was tearing my hair out odin-ing back

Edit: Anyone know why the LTE status is disabled by default?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
One week on, and all is still well with my phone. Finally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JHBoricua:
Well, this only worked for a day. Now it's back to youtube not working and Pandora just spinning.

So my only question is:

Is this happening also with custom ROMs such as CM10? Because I would rather put a custom ROM on the phone if it solves the streaming problem, rather than deal with Sprint customer support.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Interesting info for sure. I am curious if len is better set up for 3g and lg8 for lte.

I couldnt connect to Lte until i flashed lg8 but now 3g is spotty

I will try and run some tests. Did anyone try setting network to cdma or was ot set to lte/cdma in your testing...or unknown

i have the exact opposite.. youtube works over 3G but not over wifi.. i keep getting "connection lost" when trying to play a video over wifi despite my connection being perfectly fine for everything else..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Do it the ohter way round please :) if you've already flashed a custom kernel, go back to stock first through PC Companion and then relock the bootloader.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I'm guessing relocking the bootloader helped then?

Do you have S1Tool? I'm curious about the output of the identify-button :)

Chances are unlocking your bootloader will disable your network again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Speederoff:
Grrrrrrrrrr, so hate :(

How do you did Unlocking bootloader ? .. Using S1tool or some other stuff?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
There are three safe circumstances in which you can unlock your bootloader:

1: You bought your phone sim-unlocked, in which case it's got a simlock-certificate by sony-ericsson

2: You sim-unlock your phone using an unlock code from your carrier (emma/imei-code), usually free after your initial contract-period

3: You sim-unlocked your phone using Omnius (or something similar)

I just bought mine without a contract, it wasn't that expensive, about a year after they came out, so i've got no carrier lock-in, which is a bonus. Apart from that, sim-unlocking your phone using a code from your provider is the safest way to do things.

Flashtool will unlock your bootloader, but s1tool will give you the information you need to know if it's safe.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LeonKim:
Same with me. After i unlocked x10 mini pro, and then upgraded to ARCMINI ICS 4 (for mini pro),

Omnius doesn't allow bootloader unlock after using it to SIM unlock. My phone is factory locked to T-Mobile UK and I've never unlocked it and my bootloader unlock was fine
