Hi!

I also bought a second hand Nexus S and had the same issue!

I noticed that sim reader was damaged! :banghead:

I have to put a little paper piece to force sim reading!

After 1 year of usage, no more problems!

Received OTA update to 2.31 after changing CID to HTC_Y13, restoring stock recovery, bootloader LOCK and flashing 2.2 RUU. DONOT CHANGE THE BACKUP NAME! backup dated new as it was wiped/cleaned version of my earlier 2.31 backup. Until HTC Dev releases the RUU for 2.31 update suffice with this!

This backup WON'T UPDATE your RADIO baseband or HBOOT! (chrikenn)​

4- Run CMD > cd to Fastboot folder > type fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One S] phositadc:
Thanks dude. One thing to note is that I'm pretty sure a nandroid does not restore radio or recovery. So even though it updated those things for you when you were completely stock and ran the actual OTA, I believe that anybody who flashes this nandroid will keep whatever radio and recovery they have when they flash it. If they are on hboot lower than 1.13, they can separately flash the 1.06es radio in TWRP.
[HTC One S] McGiver93:
should the bootloader be locked? or can i just restore this with un-locked bootloader hboot 1.13 and root?
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
You are supposedly restoring this back up from recovery and long as you have a custom recovery twrp you can use this.
[HTC One S] ICWS:
Additionately I think we need a boot.img to flash, because everytime I restored a TWRP backup I had to do so. When I didn't I got stuck on boot.
[HTC One S] McGiver93:
ok but like chrikenn said with this backup the radio won't update right?
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
Besides flashing custom roms, never had to flash boot.img separately when restoring nandroid backup.

Right. If anybody needs it, he can download the boot.img offered in the viper rom thread, right under installation instructions. It's stock and can be flashed in recovery mode via 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.

quick question. When I restore this backup will it already be rooted, or do I need to flash superSU after I restore this?

Edit: one more question. Does this have the problem where the g, E, and H signal strength icons are messed up? I see that is a bug in viper rom, and the devs are blaming HTC, so I'm curious if that bug is present in stock 2.31.

[HTC One S] ICWS:
I ask because I'm not sure: I ran 2.21 RUU weeks ago and now restored this backup. I have an unbranded One S, so is this backup the same software as the original stock unbranded rom I used when I bought my phone? Does this also mean that I can do OTA updates if they arrive (of course with restoring stock recovery etc. blabla)?
[HTC One S] mughalgxt:
OTA updates aren't applicable to this backup, unless ALL THE MISSING APPS are restored! those incllude HTC STOCK, HTC WEATHER, FRIENDCASTER etc. in the recent update, the update script had lines assertively checking all stock APPS! try the RUU 2.3 when the JB update arrives!

Since a new rom which optimizes tablet ui called paranoid android has been ported to our phone.

I had a few doubts

1.Its says that reducing the dpi below 120 often results in crashing but our phone has a dpi of 120(ldpi).

2.is the rom deodexed or odexed?

3.The gapps provided are 50mb so will /system have enough space after flashing them.

Thanks in advance for helping....

Rom deodexed and system have enough space after flashing gapps,you can change ui and dpi of each apps in setting->paranoid->last option->apps->all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Texag2010:
I want to install Codename Android 3.4.1 today and have been reading the thread very closely, but there is one thing I cannot seem to get the answer for.

Why does someone need to install gapps? What's the problem with just installing the google apps from the play store? If I were to install a gapps, and an app therein receives an update, the gapps version won't update correctly? Only play store ones will update?

Anyways, seems to me gapps is unnecessary if I can just download from the play store. Obviously I'm asking this as I'm somewhat clueless and am very possibly missing something, so if someone could please explain I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Gapps should have the same signature and package name as the ones from the play store.

Any updates will thus still be available.

Also, Gapps includes the play store...so without installing them you'd have no place to get applications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ithamatam:
true, I learned this the hard way. :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leijonasisu:
For some reason I can't send anything to my Galaxy S 2 via Wifi-Direct on my Galaxy S 3. But I can send anything from the SGS 2 to the SGS3. Just not the other way around. I have no frozen apps/services on either phone at all and no modified files. Except the kernel on my SGS2 has been flashed.

When I go to send a file from the SGS3 it just sits on 'Waiting to send file...' and nothing happens. If I disconnect on either phone the transfer says failed. If I try and send something from the SGS2 to the SGS3 it is received immediately. So why can't I send anything the other way around?

Filenames aren't too long, storage isn't locked etc. I've tried multiple files, has anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks a ton. I really don't want to have to wait ages to send things over Bluetooth when Wifi-Direct is 100x faster. :victory:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Hey :)

AOSP ROMs are Android Open Source Project Roms, so they don't have any of the HTC Sense, Touchwiz, Motoblur bullcrap (IMO) on them and are pretty much a pure google experience e.g similair to the stock firmware on a galaxy nexus/nexus 7 but most are tweaked e.g CM gives you additional mods and things

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xentar712:
Asus didn't add anything significant to the Nexus 7. They add a few apps to their transformer series tablets and tweak the UI a little, but it's pretty close to stock as well when comparing to what Samsung and HTC do. I will only buy Asus or Nexus brand in the future because of this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Tbh im just going for google only phones even if asus is close to vanilla from now on, don't care about how vanilla it is because most popular phones have atleast Cyanagonmod ROMS for that but I just want fast updates, good dev community and easy unlocking unlike s-off and all this other crap which is a pain in the ass
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cetin:
That's why I don't understand why we have android development here too? It's all original here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TjPhysicist:
well, there are multiple ways you can do ROMS:

1. "I downloaded source from google.com and just hit compile without any changes whatsoever (aside from whatever was needed to get it working, like drivers etc)."

2. "Long time ago I had downloaded from google.com, but since then i have added MANY MANY of my own cool changes (like `long press volume to skip to next song'), of course I make sure i pull in whatever latest changes google made to their source too"

3. "there were 2 or 3 ROMs from the above 2 that i liked and i combined them"

#1 is `AOSP',

#2 is `NO AOSP', the person making these "drastic changes" can be HTC (in the case of senseui) or just some dude/team of dudes (in the case of CyanogenMod). This is basically `original work', in the sense that, aside from google's source which i obviously must have taken from, a lot of the stuff is my own. CyanogenMod for instance has immense amount of changes, not sure how it works, but just consider that JB for CyanogenMod is not even beta yet, even though google has stable JB obviously. Meaning their changes are so immense that they had to start from scratch and do all the cool changes to the new JB source (or smthg to that effect).

#3 is regular 'non original' roms, since there is very little 'originality' in these roms. CAn be anything from "All im doing is compiling CM10 and putting it up, although im not officially CM" to "I just added some cool stuff from CM to AOSP and compiled it".

--

I'm unsure as to the line between #2 and #3 ofc, it can get a little confusing/fuzzy at times.

If you are rooted and have no recovery just get Rom manager from play store and install recovery from it, the app also has a reboot in recovery option

This is the easiest way.

Procedure for our newbie friend.

1. Download rom manager from play store.

2. Open the apps then click flash ClockworkMod Recovery (need internet connection to flash)

3. After flashing click Reboot into recovery

I suggest that use the old clockworkmod(Version 5.0.2.6) because base from my experienced i always have a hard time rebooting using the touch version. It's like there is a time out, i ended always into bootloop and it takes an hour to reboot. :)

Hi - yes, yes, I shouldn't happen but I seem to have wrecked my perfectly nice mb525 (no sign of life from any button combination, no Bootloader, doesn't show in RSD Lite).

I'm getting by with my trusty old Nokia but if anyone (in the UK preferably - I'm in Wiltshire) has an mb525 they are happy to sell at a reasonable price (paypal or transfer to your bank account) I'd be well pleased.

The more mods it has been through the better... I bought a phone running CM7 and got it onto CM10 but, frankly, I was out of my depth and should have been satisfied with where I was.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunc:
Found this guide, which I'll try next week unless I'm advised otherwise...

[2.2] White LED when plugged into PC and no response otherwise

In this situation, your phone is failing to enter any recovery modes correctly and it cannot charge properly either as the battery is not recognised properly. You cannot load the bootloader correctly for RSD Lite to recognise your phone as the battery is not detected.

The only way to fix this is via the MacGyver method which involves cutting up any USB cable and using it to power your phone. To do this, cut the non-USB connector part of the cable off and strip the outside and specifically get the black and red cables and strip a bit off them and ignore the white and green ones. Take out the battery of your Defy and using some tape, stick down the black on + and red on - (according to the Motorola battery), making sure the wire touches the connectors.

[Note: Personally I make sure the wires are on the outside of the connectors so I will either lose the connection only or get a better contact. If your wires are in between pins, you may end up shorting the phone if the wire touches the wrong contact.]

Once you've done this, hold down the Volume down button and power and you should get into bootloader fine without any "Battery low" errors. You can then follow step [1.1] to flash a working sbf file.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsrars-d:
Yep, try that :thumbup:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunc:
Are you supposed to get the white LED light as you do when the phone is plugged in to a computer by USB cable? If so, nothing yet. I think I need crocodile clips to get a firm connection, tape doesn't seem to be very good.
