[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardedpig:
Hi there, I'm new and I've been snooping around this forum and I couldn't really come across anything about my issue, or at least as close ):

My Nexus S 4g will only boot into bootloader / Recovery and Download mode. I'm unable to mount my sd card what so ever, I've done a cache partition wipe and a factory reset. Also, I'm not able to mount via usb storage, and for that. I get the following error message:

E:Unable to write ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

Even though the sd card won't mount, I thought using Odin to go back to stock (or what ever it is that the files are) would help. My laptop recognizes the phone in Download mode, I've tried three different versions of Odin (v.1.85, v.1.87 and v.3.07) with files that I've gathered from an androidcentral thread (this is my first post here so I can't give links yet :/)

If you google "Odin nexus s 4g" it'll be the very first link from 'AndroidCentral'

In all three versions of Odin I've used, it barely starts. It would stop at:

<ID:0/008> Initialzation..
<ID:0/008> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/008> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/008> bootloader.img
<ID:0/008> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/008> system.img

and it fails everytime.

Hoping some one here can still help?? :(

Using CWM Recovery v.6.0.1.0

Was rooted with CodeName Android 3.3.2

and it had Air Kernel BlueColor

EDIT: I read a thread, and I guess that means I should move it there? But a member says that the newer 6.0+ versions of CWM has a broken usb mount feature and says to REFLASH to an older stable version. My question is, how do I reflash a stable CWM image when I can't mount it to my computer in the first place? Is SDK Tools able to read my phone just like Odin and I need to do it there, or what?

I really apologize if I'm spamming already answered questions and not searching properly, if these exact problems are answered somewhere PLEASE point me to the right direction!

EDIT #2: I found out how to with the cmd prompt haha. I reflashed to CWM v5.0.2.0 but it still did nothing, still unable to mount sd and usb mass storage. ALSO I noticed when I flash a system image it just sits there. :( (really sorry for clogging this with more possible spam)

Hi! I originally made this mod for my Galaxy Nexus however I like using as most of my screen as possible and I also prefer having a fast glow animation on the navbar as in my opinion it makes the device faster. As with the Galaxy Nexus, I made this mod for myself however I decided to share it over here but if required I should be able to do some requests :)

Mod Features

32 DPI / Stock DPI

Fastglow

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] veeman:
You made the NavBar shorter I'm guessing?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] john9:
thanks for share.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Yes the navbar is a smaller DPI (shorter) and the animation when a button from the navbar is pressed is faster which I find makes the whole device seem a bit faster.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mattcooper:
Going to install CM10 later on and try this out - looks great!

On another, unrelated note, any chance you could share that wallpaper? Looks awesome :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Here you go :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
Thx for the wallpaper.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] erica_renee:
i have my navigation bar set to show on the far left the Munu toggle.. on the right search.. so i have total of 5 icons there ... Does this work with nav bar in this situation..

Please advice .. Thanks in advance Erica ..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Yes the only thing that will be different is that the navigation bar will be smaller and the animation will be faster.

This is a screenshot of what it looks like on my Galaxy Nexus but it should look the same on the Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] erica_renee:
thank you ..

i will give it a try ..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] erica_renee:
here is my home screen. thou I do not like the wallpaper so well

I'm using nova launcher with dock turned off its not needed on a tablet and looks gross on the side in landscape mode

Erica Renee
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Good to see it worked out well for you :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] zjed:
I like the idea of a smaller navbar, but after installing this i get stuck in a boot loop, had to restore from recovery
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] erica_renee:
Did you wipe dalvik and cache.. You also know this is for the jellybro rom ONLY...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
As long as there are no changes in the SystemUI or framework with a new update it should work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] zjed:
Yes, tried it with a clean install the latest rom from jellybro/euroskank http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29037694 what release are you using?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Im currently not using this rom on my Nexus 7 so I can't really tell you if it's compatible with a new release or not. However if it isn't just leave a comment or send me a pm and I'll update it as soon as possible.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slick_rick:
I have been waiting for something like this forever. Would you please mind sharing how you do this? I have source on my laptop and just want to know how to do this. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
Sure I'll try to make a guide on my site (just finished it yesterday :) )
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] iamhcg:
This works great on my Euroskank ROM. Thanks. ^^
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slick_rick:
Thank you very much! Cant wait :)

Edit: Do you make this change in source it after its been compiled?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] zagazeta:
Awesome! I like it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] veeman:
You just edit the dimens.XML file and the navigation bar XML from framework-res and SystemUI right?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slick_rick:
Figured out how to do it from source. Edit the dimens.xml in /frameworks/...../ and also in the overlay. Can add more info if needed. Didnt bother with SystemUI and no fc's or anything.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] zjed:
The last couple of jellybro roms have had nav bar customization added, maybe that's why it's not working. I'd appreciate a guide or updated release for your changes.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:
I made a guide on my site on how to decompile apps. Once you have done that as other users said you need to edit dimens.xml. I'll probably put up a tutorial for that later. So the mod isn't working with tthe latest releases ?

Here's the link on how to use apk tool : http://www.modstorm.co/how-to-decompile-android-app-with-apktool/

EDIT : Also finished guide on how to change the navbar size and navbar glow speed : http://www.modstorm.co/tutorial-change-navbar-size-and-glow-animation-speed/
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kevinngck1:
What widget is it in the screenshot?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] modstorm:

I've seen a couple of posts that always refers to arc,arc s and pro.Does this mean

the same files and method applies for all

3?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashikonxda:
The kernel used to downgrade in this method is the same, If you want to root LT15i please follow this

Unfortunately There is no seperate section for Xperia Pro :(

Thank you..

Hit Thanks If this helped..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DaRk MaDnEsS:
thx for the post i used this way in the 431 version but now i got unlocked bootloader so i unlock in other way but thx for the method :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ferrard:
Hello,

I tried rooting my phone with the instructions you've provided. They all goes well! But after the last step I start my phone it has all software that are included in the full Kernel... But Superuser app is missing and I cannot open any application that requires root access, they all say Device is not rooted. Any idea what could be going wrong?

*Cheers
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashikonxda:
So what you are saying is, basically u are having the same device with no changes BEFORE and AFTER doin al dis, ryt?? :cyclops:

Hmmm...

Sorry I missed a step over there, since i mentioned kernel, i thought you would know..

Its my bad..

U need to exclude System, baseband, Fota, TA

I'm pretty sure u did that step wrong.. Sorry to say but now u have to do the entire process again..

To help you with this, here's how the Flastool looks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ferrard:
HI,

Aw, that's where I missed. Sorry I'm new to Android and just getting things started here.! I'll do it again. This process anyways takes less than 15 minutes.. Thanks for the reply!!

Link2SD

Hello,

Does anyone here use Link2SD with their rooted xperia pro's (rooted with this guide

and with this built)? I'm asking because I have this phone and obviously followed

the above guide which worked perfectly btw but I'm getting weird problems with

Link2SD and I wondered if it might be a consequence of the kerneltrick applied here?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Usui218
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] davezone:
Hey, if you already had a rooted phone with another kernel version, do you have to do all the rooting procedure again, or do you simply flash the new kernel?

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashikonxda:
Could u b more specific, abt the problems?? I've been using the app, but haven't faced any problem.. better contact the dev of d app for more info.. I will too, :) just to confirm..

And the "kerneltrick" wudnt matter since u've used a stock kernel.. :) Shdnt b a prob.. :)

Locked bootloader+USB debugging+Unknown sources

U've rooted and if it was the same procedure den YES, u cn.. :)

Let us know how it goes..

Hi, nice tutorial and thanks, but i have one question.

The firmware that i have before flashing the Android 4.0.3 Kernel 4.1.A.0.562 must be an original 4.0.4 or it can be the 2.3.4?

Thanks.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] irfanindian:
I followed all the steps till :

OUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF KERNEL|BOOTLOADER MISMATCH

WARNING: AT THIS POINT CLOSE FLASHTOOL AND SUS(if running)

and as expected, the device did not restart. I followed it through to

4. Now you have Android 4.0.3 Kernel 4.1.A.0.562, now you can follow DooMLoRD's method, it goes like this

a. go to C:\DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su

b. doubleclick runme.bat

c. sit back read the on screen instructions

d. the device will reboot a couple of times

e. when the script finishes it will say "ALL DONE"

But, what I got was this :

--- STARTING ----

--- WAITING FOR DEVICE

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

and nothing happened. I restarted the device and the device booted normally. Only it was like a factory reset one.

Any help would be really appreciated!

unable to root mk16i

having ICS 4.0 ,,tried these steps everal times but unable to root ma xperis pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashikonxda:
#

It looks like the problem is with the Flashtool and not DooMLoRD tool, since the tool works wid only Android 4.0.3 Kernel 4.1.A.0.562, It is clear that the flashing of Android 4.0.3 Kernel 4.1.A.0.562 wasnt successful, since u cn actually restart your device :o

Follow this..

IMP:%Also DONT FORGET TO ENABLE UNKNOWN SOURCES and USB DEBUGGING

I guess by this you meant that the device did not restart Automatically, ryt?? At this point ur device will not restart even if u remove the battery and try to restart, not just automatically restart after the process and THIS is due to bootloader|kernel mismatch :)

lemme know if you to get it done this time k..

#

Are you able to complete the entire process succesfully??

If so Follow this step carefully, especially the part where you exclude options

Any more problems, feel free to reply back :)

What seems to be the problem??

Can u tell me whats happenning? forget the log for now.. please explain wts happening and upto wt step u r able2complete..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] akhan360:
well i've been trying to do the basic steps:

flash 4.0.3 kernel

run easy root toolkit

flash 4.0.4

that log is after i flash 4.0.4 back on to my phone. phone boots up but now, certain root apps work and some don't. i also tried updating su binary to 3.1 but it always fails to get 'root access'. everytime i connect my phone now, flashtool spits this line: 08/042/2012 11:42:20 - INFO - Root Access Allowed

edit: i'm also using build 4.1.B.0.587
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ashikonxda:
Sorry, I don't understand wt u r sayin.. Are u sayin that the Superuser app itself does not work?

1. Wen u completed the process did u have Superuser app?

2. Inside superuser app under apps, do u see Superuser listed?

It hasss to be thr, if u see it, check if its allowed or denied, just tap on the app under app list and then look under status, If its Denied, tap the bottom left icon.. U will notice that d status is now Allowed..

Edit: If u use titanium backup it may tell u that certain permissions are not present or smtin lik dt, and it'l give u an option to fix permissions. Go ahead and do it. I think dts wt u r looking for.

Reply back if it works & let others know the solution. :)

Thanx..
