Getting tired...

When I plug the phone into the PC a "New Hardware Wizard" starts. I guided it to the "\\android-sdk\extras\google\usbdriver" folder and it "cannot install this hardware because it cannot find any software". The folder "USB driver" has a file called "android_winusb.inf", which appears to contain information specifically relating to the Nexus S, but the sub folders contain .dlls which are not recognized by the wizard, and there is no file called "Android Bootloader Interface" anywhere.

So I tried again. This time I let the wizard search for software, and it found an Acer USB driver which it installed. But when I connect the phone it is still not recognised, and the wizard wants to run again.

Ok this time I try the PDA net software that JayJay recommends. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, but when I try to connect my phone the PC says "Error 2:PDAnet driver is either not installed or must be reset, try to reboot you computer", which I do, with no improvement. Oh and a pop up from the systray sez "Broadband error 13"

I am assuming that when the phone is "recognized", I will have full access to the file system. At the moment, when I connect, it calls the phone " usb mass storage device, drive J " and is treating it as if it is a memory stick. I have successfully backed up photos, music and downloaded files to the PC. One of the things I have been trying to do is get at the wallpaper photo which I have read is in "data\data\com.android.settings\files\wallpaper.jpg" but I cannot find such a folder on my phone, so I assume it must be one of those things you get to see when you've got this "android debug bridge " thing.

I am getting tired now I have been at this for hours.

Tomorrow I will try the "ROM Manager"

Goodnight.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
Progress

So I download the ROM Manager. On the first Run the screen goes black and stays black. A great start. I reboot and get Rom manager. It is trying to sell me google chrome. No thank you I want Android 4.1.

Rom manager tells me that my ROM "is not set up to receive over the air updates - please contact ROM developer." Who might that be? Is it called Herring? I have no idea who supplied the 4.0.4 ROM for this device. I try to backup the current ROM and Rom manager wants to reflash the ClockworkMod recovery.

Now I have discovered that I have CWM installed already. (It must have been there for the previous owner to have installed ICS.) I have CWM 5.0.2.0.

Still, best to have the latest version...and so I flash the CWM.

This fails 3 times and I have to reboot each time. I then try updating Superuser to the latest version. This also fails and hangs the phone, just a screen saying "downloading manifest". No sign of progress, no status bar, no rotating thingy. Eventually I reboot and try again. ( I am getting confident about this reboot game, I've had to do it lot's of times and so far it hasn't let me down, and brings me back to a working phone.)

When Superuser has finally settled down to v3.1.3, su binary v3.1.1 I have another shot at flashing CWM from ROM manager. Yeah! This time it sticks!

I now have CWM 6.0.1.0

So I back up my ROM...this seems ok apart from a message "no sd-ext found"... but I don't know what that means so I ignore it.

Now I try applying the 4.1.1 update. All looks good for a while with a little android with a dodecahedran or something in its belly. Then..clunk!

The little android is on it's back with it's legs in the air. There is a report that I send to rommanager. It is long, (would you like me to Post it?)

basically it says:

" can't open /dev/tty0: no such file or directory"

"unable to get recovery.fstab info for datadata fstab generation"

"failed to verify whole file signature"

"failed to open /sys/class/android-usb/android0/state: no such file or directory" - this over and over again...

Now I think I have a BIG problem.

I get the feeling that something is corrupted and there are bits missng from my file structure. This would explain why I could not find a "data/data" directory and a whole lot else.

Actually beginning to enjoy this, I may end up with £150 paperweight, but I am learning a lot about code. Like when I got the SDK ADB installed and typed help then found that I couldn't send the output on the Command Line to the printer so I had to look it up on Wikipedia...

I am still learning. I think I need to know where to get the true Google Android 4.1.1 from if I cant get it over the air.

I have read about a thing called Nexus Root Toolkit by a chap called Wug fresh or something, I am not unfamiliar with DOS but my command line skills are a bit rusty.

I started with Algol 60 you know.

Goodnight
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
Close but no cigar...

OK. I have backed up my rom, using Titanium Backup.

I have "unlocked" my bootloader using the downloaded Android SDK ADB fastboot.exe ( It's in "platform tools" now, not "tools")

I have CWM 6.0.1.0 , Superuser 3.1.3 with OTA survival ticked.

Now all I have to do is wait until the OTA upgrade is offered again. ( It seems to come round randomly, every few days.)

Ssh! wait.. Yes! After leaving the phone overnight, the upgrade was waiting for me in the morning. I tap install..

...and fail again.!

This time its:

E: failed to verify whole file signature

E: error in /cache/9ZGgDXDi.zip (status 7)

installation aborted.

Why do you guys make it sound so easy?

I clear my cache ( if there is an error in it, it makes sense to clear it.)

I'll try again tomorrow.

Ok now just get the proper factory image. You are a Nexus S i9020 just check if you are a T or an A (look under the battery). Flash Android 4.1.1 (JRO03E). Follow part 1 of this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785672

Then flash clockwork and super su

Stock, rooted, profit!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsnax:
stick with it...

Its a bit confusing to begin with mate, but read and re-read the many tutorials and guides on here, take it slowly and step by step and youll get there in the end.

Youll be flashing custom ROMs before you know it! (take your time and always backup)

Is worth it. :good:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
It is good that in the process you learnt lot of things. Now you have fastboot working and you know how use fastboot. :)

Now that the OTA is giving errors, the best way is to flash the Jelly Bean factory image which is available from Google. As per suggestions from

Go to the link to download the image files first, then flash the 3 files using the fastboot commands provided. The overall process of flashing the factory images does not take more than 5 mins.

Best of luck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
nearly there...

Ok I downloaded the jro03e file it is 191Mb

The download is a .tar file not a tar.gz It is called soju_jro03e_factory_c9f5a67d.tar. It is196,458 kb

The instructions say I should 'extract' it, using 7zip, which gives me a file with the same name but no extension! Windows identifies it as a ".file". It is now 207,410 kb.

The instructions say there is a folder inside which I should extract. No such thing is visible.

The next part of the instructions says I should modify the file names before running. Does that mean:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update image-soju_jro03e_factory_c9f5a67d.tar

Is that right? Shouldn't all those hyphens be underscores?

Is that xxkl1 or xxki1 the same or different? ( looks like a typo).

Does only the last bit change?

Ready when you are!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
oops silly me...

Well it looks like I don't understand 7Zip very clearly.

After a bit of fiddling about I "extracted" the .tar file, then "extracted" the resulting file to get a folder with a bootloader image, a radio image and an image-soju-jro03e.zip

I tried to follow the XDA instructions given here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785672

but it seems I don't understand how to use ADB fastboot either, because when I entered the commands all I got was a list of options, a sort of helpfile for the fastboot command.

I am just not comfortable with the command line, you make one mistake and you've got to enter it all again.

Anyway I decided to try the "Nexus Root Toolkit" http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/nexus-root-toolkit/

After ensuring that my drivers were OK, I pointed the toolkit at the files and executed them individually. ( There is a "flash-all.sh" , but I don't understand how to use that. )

first of all I flashed the bootloader... Success! I now have bootloader crespo i9020xxlc2.

I didn't bother with the radio, I already have radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.

So I try to flash the jro03e.zip... Damn! The toolkit cannot find my device! Funny, it was perfectly happy before the bootloader flash...maybe that has changed something. I start again, reboot everything, check drivers... yes all ok. This time the toolkit is happy and offers to install the .zip, I include a full nandroid backup and drag and drop the image-soju-jro03e.zip to the install/flash.zip box.

TWRP v2.2.0 does it's thing and after a lot of stuff happens on the phone screen I get a menu, from which I access a report that basically says: "Error flashing zip". My heart sinks...

Other attempts with different settings result in the same:

"signature verification failed"

"no MD5 file found"... etc... etc...

So I reboot again and am relieved to find that I still have a phone.But it is still 4.0.4.

Ah! but now it has the image.zip on the SD! Progress! My heart soars with new hope!

This time I use ROM Manager to install the .zip from SD... But no such luck, "installation aborted", the little green android is flat on its back again.

Rom Manager generated a recovery log. (would you like me to post it?) Basically it says:

W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /datadata during fstab generation!

W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /emmc during fstab generation!

W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /sd-ext during fstab generation!

Preparing to install ROM...

run_program: child exited with status 1

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

result was NULL, message is: assert failed: install_zip("/sdcard/!ReadyToFlash/image-soju-jro03e.zip")

Have you any idea what that all means?

Will I ever get JB 4.1 on this phone?

Its beginning to look like there is something fundemental missing.

Please help!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey shoulder:
its gone quiet...

This thread doesnt seem to be getting attention anymore so I shall start a new one.

Is that ok? Its a new question "what does this recovery log tell me?", but it is still the same problem. The trouble is there are too many questions and it is very difficult to know what to ask.

I am still trying to get Android 4.1 on my phone. I have read the various instructions and tried to follow them but they did not work in the way I expected. Part of the problem is that I do not understand what I am doing. I don't understand the tools I am using.

I think it would help a great deal to see the file structure on my phone.

Is there a program that can look at that like windows explorer? Then I might be able to see what I am doing. At the moment I have no idea what is on my "SD card". The Nexus S doesnt actually have one of course, but I understand that it has 16Gb of storage that work like an SD card.

Now In the course of this project, I have "Backed up" with Rom Manager, but I don't know where that backup is, or what it is called. I did a "Nandroid backup" with the Nexus Root Toolkit but I have no idea where that is (is it on PC, or on the phone somewhere?) or what it is called. I assume it will be found automatically by the software when it needs to restore it. I have not backed up with "Titanium Backup" beause I am not sure how to do it. When I select "Backup/Restore" it displays a long list of files, some in red some in green, which say they are not backed up yet. Which ones do I select? All of them? I have no idea.There are so many options in the menus that I am terrified of Titanium, and don't know where to start, and it is going to take days to read the helpfiles. Is Titanium saying they are not backed up because it didn't back them up, or because it can't recognise the backups that were made with Rom Manager? If I backup everything with Titanium, is it going to make backups of the backups that another program made?

I'd like to be sure that I have just one good copy of the backup, that I havent filled my memory with useless junk.

Is there any way to flash different lock screens on the Verizon galaxy s3 the reason i am asking is because even thought the boot loader is locked I was able to flash a different splash screen (original Samsung logo) so i was wondering is there a method similar to that with the lock screen or is it possible? I would really like to flash the galaxy nexus lock screen with short cut apps to my Verizon galaxy s3!!!
