The design is just a wallpaper matching the skin. Nothing is covering the display.

The skin is 3 parts:

The back skin

The front-top skin covering the earphone

The front-bottom skin covering the softkeys/home button
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twistmycap:
That's correct. Gelaskins let's you download the matching wallpaper with the phone skin. Pretty awesome, make sure you pick a design you wont get sick of.

This is nice I wish this was around 2 weeks earlier when I got this phone this would have made setting up a lot easier. This deserves to be sticky
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
I added also a quick Howto for the Android SDK setup in Windows 64bits. Lots of crazy info out there on the Internet so I said might as well post it so others can do it right in their computers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d.cortez:
glad i came across this post. I'm going to use your instructions to return my daughter's GSM Galaxy Nexus to stock JB so we can determine if the proximity sensor is bad or if it's due to the other JB ROMs i've put on her phone. right now, the proximity sensor does not turn the screen off when she places the phone to her ear during phone calls.

question: i prefer not to overwrite the CWM recovery, so i'm planning to remove the recovery.img from the image-yakju-jro03c.zip file before updating via fastboot. next i'll reboot to recovery and flash the superuser zip file to gain ROOT access. my question is this: will removing the recovery img cause the update via fastboot to fail? thanks to anyone who replies to my question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
I would simply flash the entire stock image without skipping any files. Then temporarily flash back the CWM, just to keep the phone stock.

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-maguro.img

This will not write CWM to the phone, but rather use it once to bypass the stock recovery. Personally, I'm only interested to root the device and will not install custom ROM's. But even if you do install custom ROM's, you rarely need CWM... and if you do, you will work near your computer where you have access to adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
This is a splendid guide!

Absolutely what all new Androiders need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slivingston:
Did everything you said and got to the point where I was testing those commands, and it says devices attached but my device isnt listed. I was still in boootloader and fastboot usb was attached. is that correct? any ideas? I do have CM9 installed and there are plenty of options regarding root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
Mate, when I type "adb devices" I am getting an error saying that "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

I installed Android SDK and Java SE JDK and it all went well. I installed the drivers and when in fastboot mode, I get "Samsung Galaxy Nexus BootLoader Interface" in Device Manager, which I think is what I should be getting.

Would you know what is it that I am missing? Could it be something that I haven't installed from the Android SDK? Thanks again for the tutorial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
You need to change to the directory in which you installed the SDK

So like:

cd <insert directory here and remove the arrow brackets>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
I'll try that, thanks.

His screenshot shows that he is not in the SDK installed folder though.

My phone was in fastboot mode when I tried that. I hope that's the correct mode.

One more thing, when I choose go to Recovery in fastboot, the red triangle comes up, but Volume Up + Power doesn't do anything and I have to take out the battery in order to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is because you missed this part:

What you are seeing is the main screen for the stock recovery. To access the menu from that screen, hold power and press volume up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
I did add a line in the Environment Variables, I installed the Android SDK in the root of "C" though (C:\!Android\.....). It might be the issue, and I will use default path after I uninstall it and then install it again. I also added the Java SE in the Environment Variables.

Thanks for this, I got into now. I guess all the time I was holding vol.up and then power.

I am on stock now, so in order to root, should I be following the following procedure?

Stock Device

1) Unlock the bootloader (if locked):

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock

2) Install the image files (match the file names with the ones downloaded).

Commands are listed inside flash-all.sh shell script, validate them:

fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primelc03.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxlf1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-takju-jro03c.zip

3) Lock the bootloader:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem lock

My baseband is XXLF1, and the build is JRO03C.I9250WLH2, if this helps in any way.

Thanks for the comment guys, much appreciated.

====================================================

EDIT: @efrant, I just checked your guide on rooting without unlocking the bootloader, so should I fail with the backup you also referenced in you guide, I will give it a try. The phone is rather new though, so even if I lose some apps it's not that big a deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I think you are confusing a few things. Unlocking the bootloader is not the same as getting root. You should have a look at the "basics" link in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
So the path was not the issue. Originally I had this in Path in the Environment Variables: "....;%!Android%\Google_Dev\android-sdk\platform-tools" and adb did not work unless I went directly inside the platform-tools folder in command prompt.

I then tried to add additional line in Environment Variables for the whole path, without the % symbol (C:\!Android\Google_Dev\android-sdk\platform-tools). And it worked, now adb lists the device at any time and location.

The final line in Path looks like this: ....bunch of lines......;%!Android%\Google_Dev\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\!Android\Google_Dev\android-sdk\platform-tools
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
If you add adb to the Windows path, you will not get this error. I explained into tutorial what to do.

Edit: Never mind, efrant explained well what to do. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozint:
I got it rooted now, but I need to do some additional reading yes. I'll read the guide and hopefully things will be more clear. Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
No. The tutorial has separate sections, Root Device" and "Stock Device", not "Rooted Device". You want to root, so you follow the "Root" procedure, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Logic_:
Does anyone have a separate link to the ADB drivers for windows? I need this pc to recognize my N7 in bootloader etc but I don't want to go through the whole Java SDK etc hassle to get ADB just to get the drivers, it's not my pc.

android sdk does not come packaged with android adb driver any longer...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
The Google ADB driver was never packaged with the SDK, you have to download it. Google tells you this anyways:

"setting up a new SDK requires that you download the SDK Tools, then select additional Android SDK packages to install."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You're right. But Google also stated that the driver included in the packages is for the ADP1, ADP2, N1 and the NS, not for the GNex and that you should download it from the Samsung website via the link provided.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wakeboarder357:
When I go into Device Manager to right click on Galaxy Nexus and install the ADB drivers, I do not even see Galaxy Nexus or Other Devices. Mine shows up as Unknown Device under Device Manager. When I right click and try to update the drivers, I select the proper location, when I click okay it says " The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a drivers, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems. I loaded the adt-bundle-windows folder which contains Eclipse and SDK into my Program (86) folder as it showed in the tutorial. I also added the Java_Home path and added the end part to the Path value.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Phone won't boot after following this tutorial

I am using a 7" Smartfren tablet called S7.

I was following this tutorial. When I got the last part about the bootloader, I turned my device off. I tried to reboot using the volume buttons and power button, and it showed in the taskbar as an 'Unknown Device' and continued the tutorial and installed the Android Bootloader driver on it. But even so it cannot be seen by using the command adb devices. Thus, I can't use any adb command to access it. What am I doing wrong?

It is recognized by my laptop as Android Bootloader Interface. So, it means that it can still be detected by my laptop, but not when using adb devices in cmd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jernest002:

Thank you but I finally got the file pushed into the sd card doing via recovery. Since I am using TWRP recevery it was not too obvious how to do it unlike CWRM which I used to use.

"Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen

- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable

- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)

- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd

- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.

- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)"

The One XL is physically smaller (by about 0.4mm.. yes, you read that right) than the One X International. That may not be a big difference to you, but it is enough to make the pogo pins (the 5 little holes on the rear of the phone) to misalign and prevent the external battery from connecting.

Hey all,

I was just wondering which phones are most popular here at XDA in terms of developer contribution and such. I'm looking to buy a phone, but a little low on money, and that running a nice custom ROM will compensate for the potentially ageing hardware.

The original Atrix 4G is rather smallish, but not sure about the bootloader options. I do know that the Atrix 2 DOES have a locked bootloader, is slightly larger than the OG, and has some good development regardless of its locked down BL. I personally would NOT recommend ANY Motorola devices, they lock them down and updates are not coming quickly. The A2 devs are working on cracking the BL with a possible brute force script to hit the CDT table in order to flash a custom CDT to bypass key signature checks. But, it is uncertain what RSA encryption is being used- either 512 or 1024 bit cyphered. I got the SGS3 for the performance and dev support...
