[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnubbyaBush:
Hello, so it looks like i screwed up here and got ripped of on ebay. I bought a nexus i9020t for a friend at work to bring back to india.

The seller said it had a rom install badly on it, but it could still get into the bootloader. He claimed with some effort it was likely fixable..which me and 33 other bidders agreed (*dumb move*)

Unfortunately with some further research I think this phone is having the eemc problem where it can't read its internal memory. It is stuck on the google boot screen, but bootload is accessible. When i go to look in the sdcard from recovery, it can't mount it.

"Fastboot oem unlock" won't work and from what i read, its because its trying to wipe the internal memory..but it can't access it, it freezes and when i boot back into bootloader its still locked. Also the phone boots into android every once in a blue moon, like after 20 battery pulls it will boot into 2.3.4. I've tried Wugs tool to try unlock to no avail, driver setup checks out according to the UI.

I need to unlock the bootloader to do anything, i even need to unlock bootloader to put on clockwork mod. Anyone know of a .zip package that will install clockworkmod, so i don't have to do "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img" because that requires unlock.

Also i'm having trouble seeing the point to all this because even if I get the bootloader unlocked thats not going to help a hardward problem.

The fact it boots into 2.3.4 on ocassion indicates to me that its freezing at boot because the internal memory..i mean if there was no rom on there it would never load jack.

So other than my clockworkmod .zip install question, anyone know if the internal sd card can be replaced? I mean ill go in there if its an actual sd card and not attached to the board or something. Need some guidence here, I see the problem around, but is there reall a solution so this?

Have you tried flashing with odin ? Mabey tick the repartition option.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnubbyaBush:
Yea I will do that this afternoon, also I will try using the PA drivers and Wugs tool on another machine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bronko15344:
I'm not sure but you could try to root the phone with the gingerbreak exploit over an adb shell. After doing this you could install ROM manager and flash cwm. The ROM manager app doesn't need an unlocked boot loader. It just needs root permissions.

After doing this you should be able to boot into cwm.. BUT I don't how it could help you with your hardware problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I'd get a refund. If it boots once in a blue moon, something isn't right hardware wise. It either boots or never boots, not "when it feels like it".
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnubbyaBush:
Yea idk i hoped the guy had just super effed up the software.

Now where i'm at is i got the bootloader unlocked using the fastboot command, i had to try serveral times, but it worked eventually.

Now i need to load something or do something that will alow me to repartition system.

Basically once bootloader was unlocked i used wugs tool to "flash stock + unroot" from "can't boot" status. It worked on recovery, bootloader ect..alle the way up until it tried to write the system, and gave an error "write failed (unable to remote write)" or something like that.

So now i'm basically tyring to get the "sabra root toolkit.zip" on the device so that i can use clockwork to partion the /system. Or some other way of partiioning /system.

But i'm having difficulty pushing files to the device because wugs tool is expecting you to be booted with usb developing on, and i can't boot.

I've tried "pushing files", and "installing .zip packages from my machine" under wugs tool, and it fails every time because adb device not found, and i think its because i'm not fully booted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Still recommending a refund. This isn't easy to fix, it's actually not fixable by commoners.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnubbyaBush:
Okiedoke here's the update, I got this puppy working. Just as I did with the "fastboot eom unlock" command, I just kept trying the wugfresh "flash stock + unroot" with the "can't boot" option checked. Several times it failed when trying to write to /system, eventually I tried and it worked. Now I havnt had a boot go bad since the fix (knock on wood) and its running jelly bean.

As for the troubles couple things I noticed

1. I don't think ABD works unless you're fully booted and you have USB debugging on.

As a result not much of wugfresh's options work, only the fastboot ones do.

So the "can't boot" option only uses fastboot so it works while in bootloader.

While the unlock option won't work, because it's trying to use ABD in the beginning.

In fact the only option that doesn't use ABD that I can think of is the cant boot.

So if youre locked like I was, you need to use the command line.

2. I think the problem was the rom the guy had on before had a full blown bad flash.

The /system and I think the bootloader was messed up as well.

Luckily sometimes the device could communicate with its storage, but most of the time it couldn't.

3. Getting the drivers right is a total pain, sometimes one set of driver will work for one thing, and fail for others.

I used two laptops and switched back and forth messing with the 3 available driver settings in wugfresh.

For my problem the pnet drivers are not an option...because you have to be booted to install them, so I just switched between signed and raw. Also the USB ports you use deffidently matter so switch between those as well, if using a desktop use only the back ports.

Here are the steps I took, unfortunately they weren't precise so I can't really say what did it.

1. Download wugfresh, do the raw driver install (if you can use another machine and do the signed driver install).

2. Download the adroid sdk.zip, and extract it.

3. Use command line and go to the tools folder in the adroid sdk folder (I forget exact path, but it's the tools folder somewhere in the extracted folder).

4. Now type "fastboot oem unlock".

5. If fastboot is working right you should get the unlock screen, choose yes.

6. Mine froze here and I had to try several times until it worked..switch back and forth between the 2 comps if you have that option.

7. Once unlocked do the wugfresh "flash stock + unroot" with the "can't boot" option checked.

8. It may fail, but again switch back and forth between machines, and USB ports, if it works then you should be good to go.

One thing I noticed is that recovery showed it couldn't mount my sdcard, but after option 7, and it failed to write the /system, my bootloader changed to a more up to date version (android laying down) and it was able to see the sdcard (which shows me the recovery/bootloader where kinda screwed up in the first place). After I tried again after that maybe 1 or 2 times writing system was successful.

Thanks for all your help I'll click thanks on all you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royalfox:
I recently got a 32GB Sprint G-Nex, and I want to transfer my files to my phone, but I´ve tried connecting it to the PC and nothing happens, my phone only charges. I tried installing the drivers from Sammy site, restarting the PC and it didn't work.

I also tried MTP & PTP usb mode and same results. Last, I tried checking USB debugging on/off, nothing happens either!

EDIT: Tried different USB cable, that made it work, thanks!

anyone else had this issue? It has happened 4x today. I'm running stock 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
A little more derails :p rooted or not? Bootloader unlocked? If your rooted have I done anything to your stock rom
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] drummaniac83:
Total stock, no root (stuck with 2.2 from factory)

It happens quite a bit. Phone seems to freeze, screen times out, won't power on with power hold, won't go to bootloader with volume and power. If I plug it in, led won't turn on.

If I wait about 2-5 min then phone will be charging and I can reboot, power in etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Hmm total stock?:( the most I could advise is a factory reset ...but what are usually doing before this happens to you? Heavy tasks or...?

Someone savvier than me would probably be of more assistance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I'd suggest the same. If the problem persists, return it for replacement/repair. Is it pretty new?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] drummaniac83:
Thanks! I'll try factory reset. It's over 30 days so I would have to go through att.

Not super excited about getting a refurbished :-\
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
You can also call HTC. They won't send you a phone. They actually will fix your phone, although you will be without a phone for a few weeks.

If you do go through AT&T, there is a chance you get a 1.85 phone so you can root!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAble:
I just purchased the larger stylus holder that was intended for the 5.3 Note. I tried to use it, but it would not work without first removing the original stylus from the unit. I would like to use the new one and keep my original in the unit in case of emergency.

Anyone able to do this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
Go into settings and find the settings for the pen and uncheck the power saving setting for the pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatbuccha:
OK, i tried to check that option, still the tab still detects when i remove the pen, is this option really working? I'm on build N8000XWALG7, is this a good build? How do i know which country firmware to upgrade? I am from philippines. My baseband is N8000XXLGA
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAble:
I found it and it works. I can use my new sylus with the original still tucked inside. BTW... I really like the stylus holder with the 5.3 stylus much better than the origanal. Handwriting is much better. I am not getting all the extra squiggles on my letters.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatbuccha:
Good for you, but mine is not working even if i check battery saving, still detects my pen, so i cant use other pen if my pen is dock, any help here? Firmware prob? I got 2 note N8000 and both are not working
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nefariouss:
I think it will always detect if the pen is removed or not irregardless of that option being checked or not. But by turning off the battery saving feature you are able to use another pen while the original 10.1 pen stays docked.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatbuccha:
Hmmm wierd coz i tried using my other note's stylus and its not working, or do i have to buy another stylus? Both devices doesn't work when pen is dock
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAble:
As soon as I went to settings and removed the check from battery saving, my second pen began to work while the original was in the dock. At least I think that as what I did to get it to work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatbuccha:
So the setting should be uncheck not check? Im sure i tried all the combinations but will try again later, thanks

So when I use speed test, it is choppy, it's kind of like watching a scratched DVD. I average speeds between .5 and 2mbps, sometimes I get 12-15 mbps if I keep redoing the test. It's like I'm getting data I'm small spurts? I'm unlocked but on TMobile prepaid, I'm not being capped, I called and made sure. There's also no network outages. I'm using stock 4.0.4 ROM.

Could somebody help me out for that..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
You must add the number to contacts, then select all calls to voicemail.

Or use Root Call Blocker, it works well on the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
This "add number to blacklist" was available in the older CM's (7 and previous) but I haven't seen it on any of newer Roms, not even on the CM's.

Any call blocker software from play store does the job but having it integrated into the ROM was a good feature

First off I searched but didnt find it.

Is there a quick and easy way to update nightlies to the newest release.

I am currently using ericwill ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL.

I have 2012-09-15 and would like to upgrade to 2012-09-18.

Do I need to do a full wipe and flash and then reinstall my apps with titanium backup or is there a simple way given that they are very similar?

also can I restore all the system data as well or is that too risky given that system may have changed a bit?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mightymike889:
U can just flash it on top but to get the best results its rly best to whipe... U avoid problems wen u do the whipe.... N as long as ur on the same rom as far as I no n my experience u can restore all system data with no problems but only do that if ur staying with the same rom other then that it's really not recommended... Hope that helps :beer:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Don't forget to flash gapps again if it isn't included
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
thanks guys flashed last night worked out well

I did a darkside superwipe

flashed new rom

rebooted and let sit a while 10 mins

flashed gapps

rebooted and let sit 10 mins

rebooted again and did full sytem and apps restore with titanium backup.

one question should I do the darkside cache wipe as well and if so when should that be done?

I think as if it should be done after flashing the rom. if so after the gapps too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NextGenROM:
When flashing a nightly you dont have to wipe! You can just add on top of each other!!! But make sure to WIPE DATA if flashing a new ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
To build on the first reply, I backup current nightly with trwp. Wipe all, install new nightly, Flash gapps, restore data from last backup. Wipe cache just in case and reboot. Now if on aokp, use aokp backup to restore settings. No tibu needed, all user apps restored with data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6KayZee9:
thanks thats a great tip I will give it a try. when you say to use the aokp backup is that a backup that is in the settings for the aokp rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
market
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
If your going to wipe your data, might as well wipe your system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nkia2sg:
the aokp backup market app? All the reviews below it say it doesn't work with nightlies or other versions.. they say that the app itself has to be updated for every nightly. At least what i got from it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Its an experience, not a game. You build a house while fending off monsters, you search for hours just for diamond, you farm and kill animals just so you don't starve to death. You do all this knowing that it can all be taken in a second by a creaper, or gravel falling, or falling on lava or off a bridge your creating. No matter how many times I've died and lost ALL of my hours of long work. I keep on going back just I think that I can do better the next time. And when I do finish everything in the game..... I start a new world and experience it all again.

So you're saying minecraft is a ripoff of the sims?

But seriously, I got the android version when it was really cheap. Tried playing it once, and couldn't figure out what in the world I was supposed to be doing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Lol! No.. I was not referring to sims, and definitely as far as I gather Minecraft and sims are totally different... I was just pulling the leg of the OP! :cyclops:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
You are totally correct. The Sims and MC are two TOTALLY different worlds (games.)

When people reply to sarcasm with more cheeky sarcasm, then soon no one knows what's going on and a good meaning samaritan will come along and try to explain things, and then others make explanations too and well, it just goes nasty from there on! (Read last sentence in Cleveland's voice...)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Hmm, maybe we should always use Comic Sans if we are being sarcastic? :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
That is a problem. If I assume your statement to be true, at face value, then since you used comic sans you are being sarcastic. But then, if you are being sarcastic, then it means you don't really want us to use comic sans when we are being sarcastic. Ergo, you don't have to use comic sans yourself, but you did. So, the question is, where you being sarcastic? ;)

I think this is why we can't regulate sarcasm on the interwebs, or for that matter in this world... Toodles.​
