Hi, sorry to hear that you are having problems. The good news is as long as you followed my big red warning about having your sbk you aren't in too bad of shape. The only reason to do the linux thing is if you did not get your sbk/uid.

There is more than one way to take care of this. I prefer to use Blackthund3rs APX Flash Tool. To get the apx tool google this. blackthund3r apx tool

Basically what you will do is get the tool, open it, choose bundle market, choose 17, use default bct, enter APX download mode, and flash the V8 bootloader with CWM. After that you can start all over or flash whatever you want.

The steps are... (Copied from here.)

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Step 4. I used number 17.

Step 5.

Step 6.

Step 7. I used the default since my tab was fried.

Step 8. At this point you will have to choose to enter APX mode manually. Follow the instructions on the next screen.

Once you are in APX mode and plugged into the pc you should see the message APX device connected. Choose the next arrow, once it runs for a few seconds it will ask you to confirm that the APX download mode has started.

Once it has. Confirm and wait for it to finish. Get into CWM, flash the rom and you should be good to go.

But other than that you should be back to normal in no time. To get the apx tool google this. blackthund3r apx tool

Good luck.

Hello,

I haven't got jellybean OTA yet, my version when i booted it first time was chinese and the box IIRC it had google.com.hk/nexus

I'm traveling day after tomorrow and I REALLY wish to use the new navigation, maps, cards and all other nice stuff

any workaround to flash jellybean officially or so?

I did almost all clearing cache tricks and no update came yet...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bashar .:
I've found https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images how to know my device is takju or yakju to download the proper image and flash my device?

and any difference between flashing or waiting for OTA other than losing every single bit on data on the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ACHILLES R32:
try this not sure if will work, but read the thread a bit.

edit: I should have read a bit " You can easily convert ANY GSM/HSPA (i.e., maguro) device to stock yakju (or takju) from any non-yakju build (yakjuxw, yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr, yakjujp, yakjuxe, etc.). " lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yakju or takju, it doesn't matter.

No difference between full images and ota (other than data loss).

That will certainly work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You're not takju or yakju. Doesn't matter what you have now, you can flash to takju. It'll wipe everything and you'll get up-to-date OTAs from here on out.

Yes, that URL works. That's the preferred guide to follow. It's all there.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andersenk:
This is my second smart phone, my first was Sony X10, and I have been saving my contacts wrong the whole time. Any time I added a new contact, and it asked if it was a phone contact or a gmail, I chose phone (made sense to me...). I backed up my contacts anytime I flashed, and restored from sd card. this would, for some reason, save all my Facebook, and Twitter friends also. After reading and figuring out I should have been saving them as gmail contacts I went about doing that... It didn't go so easy for me so I figured I would tell you what I had to do. I'll leave out all the things that didn't work. :).

First I opened Contacts and deselected everything except my phone contacts. Then I went through and Deleted all Facebook, and Twitter profiles. Backed up the remaining contacts. Deleted all contacts. Opened Settings / Apps / contacts then clicked clear data. then did the same for contacts import. After that I opened my contacts back up selected import contacts from sd card, then saved them in gmail.

At first I tried just backing up, deleting, then restoring on gmail, but for some reason it would not sync, so I had to clear the data. I hope this help someone out.

Maybe I'm getting too old for technology... haha
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JaredP:
Another great thing about synching with gmail is that you can manage all your contacts from your computer. Just go to http://contacts.google.com, and anything you update there automatically updates your phone.

I'm looking for a custom ROM that keeps all Samsung apps and widgets. Preferably removes carrier Bloat. Good battery life. To be used on Rogers Wireless (Canada). Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
I think KyanROM might work for you. It's based on the Samsung ICS ROM and uses Rogers version for now. All the AT&T ROMs should be compatible with Canadian S3s.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
Ultimatum is great (i'm on Rogers too) and is good for the same reasons as the above post. If your feeling adventurous, the ICS Domination theme by Josh Beach works perfect over this ROM and gives that black and cyan theme look(if you like that kind of thing). v7 at least, i can't speak for the new v10 update recently.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabesh:
Thx guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
Just a note on Ultimatum, if you go that route it doesn't keep the samsung apps but you can install the kyanappend stuff from kyanRom which gives you most of the removed samsung apps, that's what i've done and it works great.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonaldxD93:
Hi, i messed up (i guess) a mod that installed the S3 task manager following a tutorial from an Spanish forum (btw i'm latin, so i did read well the steps). One of the steps was to delete the original task manager from the ROM, so i did it. In the end, i have the s3 widget, but when I tap it, the manager gets FC'd. Also, the manager isnt in the app drawer.

So please someone with the 4.0.4 RLG Rom with Root explorer, etc. could make a copy of the apk from system/app and pass me in PM or GDrive, Dropbox, etc.

Thanks in advance, cheers! :D

UPDATE: After 4 reboots, It works both the S3 task manager and the widget, but no luck appearing in the app drawer, which i didnt use it anyway xD but just in case case i need the stock apk.

Okay, I found the kernel ... now I need to find the rom, right? because if I flash the kernel into the stock rom it will freak out ... so it's just a matter of executing two zips from recovery, the rom then the kernel? or am i forgetting something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
As long as the kernel matches the stock rom you can use it. It needs to be a git gingerbread sense kernel of you are on 2.3.3 or 2.3.5 stock if you're on 2.2 stock needs to be a froyo kernel. If you go to something like cm7 or decks reloaded, anything aosp based make sure you use an aosp gingerbread kernel. If you try ics and want a custom kernel or jb make sure to use matching kernels or you'll end up in a bootloop and need to reflash the rom to fix the kernel

Edit: when flashing make sure to do the proper wipes. For a rom wipe everything but the SD card, for a kernel or a modification wipe only cache and dalvik cache. When flashing a rom and a kernel at the same time, wipe everything but SD for rom then wipe.cache and dalvik and flash the kernel

Okay, I ended up installing cyanogenmod 7.2 ... which is a "rom," right? now i see these kernels ... right now looking at tiamat-dev dot com / supersonic ... this would work with the rom right? and what would change by installing this kernel? and which one would i want to download from that list? sorry
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yes cm7.2 is a rom, I always used tiamat 4.1.0 on cm7.2. The kernel will add different governors, clockspeeds for overclocking, change the scheduler and allow for undervolting. The kernel is what allows the rom to talk to the hardware and vice versa, it contains all of the drivers for the hardware.

You got 2 ways to solve it.

1. Change your sim

2. Find your SMSC number and use http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode to convert it to the format that android uses and put in into the SMSC blank in the *#*#4636#*#* menu and press update.

[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
Hello, I have been scouring the internet for ways to help people unlock their Motorola Photon 4G that had the newest soak update which was 2.3.5 from Motorola directly. I admit, I didn't find jack and they say it's impossible... So I gave up searching and went into my think tank.

I did recently hear that Motorola gave the XOOM users the ability to unlock the bootloader via the internet or using some sort of software just like HTC did. Well, what if we did this.

We found a way to port the XOOM's OS, in that case which is ICS and then matched up the version information for the XOOM and made it available on our Photon 4G? Like we could somehow change the information and make our Photon's be recognized as a XOOM?

I can't guarantee this will some how magically free up our Photon from the dreaded bootloader lock. I am not near in developmental stage but maybe this kind of information will get us users free from this hassle once and for all. Using the XOOM bootloader unlock maybe somehow we can figure out what kind of information that software uses to identify the XOOM as a REAL XOOM. The real questions what I really have below:

1. Does it use a certain encryption or special keys?

2. Does it only see the software version?

3. Does it recognize a certain type of hardware chip?

4. Is it software or hardware type lock?

I mean we can do this, we have tons of users already with unlocked bootloaders and it sounds like to meet it is a software issue. We install an update from Motorola and bam... No more unlocked bootloader.

I mean we already know how to create kernels, custom roms, recoveries. Why not try this? What do we have to lose?

Thanks guys,

- JWT
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Very interesting. I wish you the best of luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
Thanks, I might try it later on when I start building my own custom ROMs for the Photon. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
To answer your first question I'm pretty sure Motorola somehow sends you a special key. I think I read that somewhere.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
If we can somehow change and/or decrypt that key, we can use a 2.3.4 SBF. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
The only thing is I think your suppose to give your device ID, and then Motorola will send you a specific key for your phone (maybe). Something I found funny off the unlocking page.

WARNING: Motorola strongly recommends against unlocking the bootloader and/or modifying or altering a device's software or operating system. Doing so can have unintended, unforeseen, and dangerous consequences, such as rendering the device unusable, violating applicable laws, or causing property damage and/or bodily injury, including death.

Apparently you can die from unlocking your bootloader lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
We maybe then can try to incorporate that key into our bootloader somehow and then Motorola will see that we have a "fake XOOM". This is really interesting! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
I hope one of you geniuses find a way to do it if it's possible.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
LOL I hope I can possibly be the first... Like I said, I am no where never becoming a developer but I am pretty bright at least I would say so myself. :) I fixed my first computer at the age of 15 :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Hey man your ahead of me. I don't even know all of the parts that make up a computer, and I'm about to start my first year of getting my degree in software engineering lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
the xoom is a nexus device, fastboot oem unlock does the trick, no special software needed.

the bootloader has to have the software to support this not just the tool. what that means is unless you plan on flashing the xoom bootloader (please dont do that) then your bypass for teh xoom isnt gunna mean anything. i could set the version strings and build.prop info all day long to whatever i wanted doesnt make my phone anything but a gnexus.

in order to get the token you have to enter your device key, i assure you they are gunna have a database so you cant just make one up. at which point the code they give you is only gunna match up with the device its paired to.

you wanna see if moto has any plans for photon officially any new updates (including the 2.3.5) try running fastboot oem get_unlock_data while in fastboot mode and see if you get an output. you do then there is a pretty damn good chance they are planning on adding support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
Good point Shabbypenguin, but the whole point was missing. I wasn't planning on flashing the XOOM's bootloader but to imitate the XOOM's bootloader by somehow injecting a the token associated with the XOOM and their databases into our current bootloader... Either by an SBF flash with the current soak ota update. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryantek:
Look I think moto is ready to release the tool to open the boot loader
