[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
I know my post count doesn't look like a noob. I am a noob at nexus one.

I got an old nexus one on stock from my friend yestarday.

I was looking at the roms seeing what to flash. I got really excited for some of them.

I looked at the instructions... mindblown... never so confused

I come from the LG Optimus One and all I had to do there was just go into TWRP/CWM/Amonra was just clear data, system, cache, dalvik cache and then flash new rom+gapps

Here, it seems it is way more complicated. I tried searching around. no avail

Can anyone try to explain to me how to flash custom roms. I think I know how but I don't want to make any mistakes...

please?

for example, on texasice's JB rom it mentioned

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

can't i just do that in recovery?

and what exactly is HBoot. is like a bootloader?

and since i come froma device that took relatively little effort to flash things... can anyone tell me stuff to avoid so i don't brick my phone?

help a member out... everyone has their firsts

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Only thing different is that you *need* BlackRose bootloader (HBOOT) for larger ROMs. All is explained it the BlackRose thread. Don't give up too soon, it's all in there.

You also might want to repartition your µSD for apps2SD (m2sd is a very good one, also has a dedicated thread), as the internal memory is not very large.

As for recovery, go for 4EXT recovery (also has an own thread) and indeed, fastboot erase is an alternative for wiping in recovery.

I wish you good luck, and don't forget forum rule number 1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
thanks

I already partitioned my sd card with CWM on my Optimus One. Do i need to repartition it? I plan on using either s2e or link2sd. I use an 8 gb sd card and i already have 1 gb of space paritioned for my sd-ext.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Partitioning with CWM has lead to many corrupt µSD cards in this Nexus One forum, so ditch it and install 4EXT :) Amon Ra recovery is 2nd choice. But CWM is definitely a no-go.

I was only suggesting m2sd as I read many people love it, but feel free to use your own A2SD!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
What do you mean corrupt? My SD card is partitioned already so as long as I don't repartition it. It shouldn't be a problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
Tell.me if I'm missing anything for installing custom rom on nexus one

1. Root

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Install black rose

4. Change partition sizes

5. Wipe everything

6. Flash?

7. Reboot
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
many ppl have reported that partitioning with CWM has created problems. thats y tommert was suggesting you to go for 4EXT . which is currently the best recovery for n1.

exactly. you are good to go.

provided you repartition & create ext with either 4ext or amon :)

PS- u MAY lose ur recovery after installing blackrose. in that case jus FASTBOOT RECOVERY.IMG :)

I dont get a usb connection to my omnia 7

I tried it on 3 pcs 1 with 64bit 2 with 32bit and all usb ports

On all pcs I installed the usb driver

All pcs recognize my phone but the software gives this error:

[Error Description]:

Please make sure that your device is connected to your computer.

also make sure that right drivers are installed (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe)

Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.

Also you can try to exclude USB hubs.

[Info]: USBWorkDMLI_SAM.cpp (173)

anyone knows what i am doing wrong ?

regards chris
[Omnia 7 General] GwenGuts:
Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as chris1005, with an Omnia 7.

I strictly followed the instructions to install Magldr:

1) Installing Usb Samsung Drivers

2) Put my phone in download mode

3) Connect it to my pc

4) Launch "DMLI for Samsung V1"

And when i reach the "Connect" step, i get the "173" error (view attachment).

I run on a Win7 x64, my phone is developer unlock.

Thanks for the answers
[Omnia 7 General] NdotGdot:
I had the same problem, but it was solved when I used a USB port on the back (connected to the motherboard) instead of one on the front (connected trough a hub).
[Omnia 7 General] GwenGuts:
Hi,

Thanks for your response, but i tried this method, it doesn't work too, whether the usb on motherboard or the usb hub.

:/.

I don't know where this is blocking.

Is there any other solution to flash a rom on an Omnia 7 than the DFT solution ?

Thanks.
[Omnia 7 General] NdotGdot:
I flashed back from 7.8 to 7.5 and had the same problem again, but ater I rebooted my computer, it worked.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MorelikeVirgilBAD:
Hello, noob reporting in.

I am holding my T-Mobile prism, an orphaned phone. I've been browsing the market, and there sure are a lot of apps which require icecream sandwhich. My phone does not have the update, and is seemingly locked to gingerbread.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever modified a bootloader to load a non-native version of android onto their device.

Basically, I want icecream sandwhich on my phone that didn't get the update.

(This is my first thread, please don't deem me unworthy of your company.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rudjgaard:
The apps don't require ics, they are updated to run on ics. GB still has so far the largest throughout compatibility, as well as better battery life and better performance than ics which mostly only offers some ui improvements. If you really really want to get ics on your phone, provided someone hasen't developed custom rom/kernel for your device you can check the cyanogenmod project.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MorelikeVirgilBAD:
Could I, say, build cyanogen for my phone?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xoom Master:
I just want to know if there is anyway to do this as I hate when my icons snap to the grid...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fudsak:
I don't think it's possible.

This function on a PC is called "align to grid" on your desktop. With that off, you can have icons/text overlap and pile up. That's what you want? There's definitely not a simple toggle an option to do that in stock HC/ICS/JB, the only thing I can think of may be a custom launcher but I've never come across one with that option. I think you may be in a small minority of people who would actually want to do that and so most launchers don't include that as a feature. Your best bet may be contacting the developer of your favorite launcher and asking if they would consider adding this as a feature.

So yeah, I finally flashed my first rom: cm9 stable and i love it... before flashing i wiped everything from my device so i had no photos nor music nor apps nor nothing....

when i wanted to drag music back to my internal sd card (never bought an external sd so i do not have one) its taking ages to transfer, is going at 1mb/s which i think is really slow... any idea what could possible be causing this and how to fix it ? thanks !

Flash a 4.0.3 based rom and you will get 7mb/ ++

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Connect your phone in Mass storage mode instead of MTP mode.

On your phone, Goto Setting > Storage > press menu button and select USB computer connection > enable Mass storage mode.

Now connect your phone to the PC. YOu should notice increase in transfer speed now.

[Nexus 7 General] Pittsford:
Hello,

This is my first post on this forum, but I've been lurking for over a year, but now I'm in a serious need for help. On August 19th, my Nexus 7's screen had cracked due it becoming loose, it had cracked only from me picking it up from the table, and so I had sent it in for a replacement. I received the confirmation that they had received by UPS and now I've been waiting for over a over a month for the replacement. I've tried emailing and all the emails have been the email below or that they're looking into the problem and it's being escalated. I've tried calling and they told me that there was a problem and the replacement order (They are holding $199 on my account) never fully went through and that they had escalated it to a specialist. It's been over 2 weeks with no information and no response from the 'specialist" that I had emailed. I am wondering what I am supposed to do?

Thank you

[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I know in early September they had an issue with their RMA process and supposedly replacement orders got "stuck" in the system. Mine was affected by this. I had to call several times to get them to move on the issue.

I'd say just keep calling them and bugging them about the issue.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
i posted on the pages of a few high up execs at google. I got the same run around crap for over a month until yesterday. after my bank and bbb called them with complaints. I still have the original device to get refunded. I will be buying something else. I LOVE Android but the google device team/ support so called specialist are insanely very non customer service oriented
[Nexus 7 General] Pittsford:
Thank you for the replies, I'm going to complain to my bank but I welcome any other advice.
[Nexus 7 General] warmonked:
Oh man, I'm having the exact same issue. Bought on 8/16, had a device with a bad screen lift, so I RMA'd on 8/29. I sent my device back and have been waiting ever since. I've called twice before and each time it was "forwarded to a specialist." Of which I never hear anything about it. I called tonight and asked them to cancel the RMA and refund my purchase. The CSR then told me she would forward it to two specialists. Whatever. I'm going to give it a few days, and then dispute the charge with my credit card company.
[Nexus 7 General] nkedge:
Had the same problem. Requested RMA and ordered replacement on 9/11, followed up on 9/18 (escalated), again on 9/25, and again on 10/2. Got an automated email on 10/5 that my replacing order was canceled and to call for more details. The CSR said she wasn't sure what happened but did mention that the system was down for some time and several orders were stuck in limbo, so she just processed a new RMA for me.

Frustrated that it took so long but glad to finally have forward motion on the issue!
[Nexus 7 General] Pittsford:
I got my replacement today and it's clearly refurbished. I only got the replacement when I threatened with a dispute, but this refurbished replacement won't even turn on, I'm going to try charging it for a couple hours and hope for the best. It makes a sound when I disconnect it when it's plugged into a wall outlet.
[Nexus 7 General] computingwarren:
Try holding a bright flashlight to it. Auto brightness may be on.
[Nexus 7 General] Pittsford:
Thank you, but the screen is clearly off. I have either the most terrible luck or Google has some serious problems. I've never had such a bad experience with a product, especially one that I enjoyed using so much.
[Nexus 7 General] AndIKnow:
I just applied for RMA as well for the auto brightness issue and screen responsiveness. I've done everything but I don't have the funds to hold since I'm a student and live off what I earn. The rep said I could email him when I have the money and they'll send me out a new one so I'm gonna be stuck without a device for sometime I guess. Anyways quick question - does the courier company come to your door to pick up the defective device or do you have to post it somewhere? I booked a pickup for today but nothings happening so far so this is the best place to come to for help :)
[Nexus 7 General] Pittsford:
I brought the tablet to UPS with the RMA slip on the package.

Edit: I can access the nexus 7's storage, but the screen still remains off. I tried doing the flashlight trick and I see no logo on bootup.
[Nexus 7 General] AndIKnow:
Well thanks. I actually gave Google a call and they said that they'll have someone come over and pick it up. I guess it's different in the US of A.

For AOSP, we have CM10, AOKP and Miui... Among others.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skillfulshoe:
Our development is so much more than what other phones have. We have multiple great AOSP ROMs. None of which are broken, in my opinion, but I can see where you are coming from when you say things have come to a stop. It has slowed but I'm a patient person so I guess it didn't bother me too much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ttinjust96:
i dont mind waiting at all because devs do an awesome job. I just hope if they get the One X+, we won't be forgotten!! :L I want to hold on to my evita for a while longer yet! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hey, I'm sorry to threadjack a bit but I don't want to start a new one because this one is pretty basic. If I were to get a new One X that wasn't on the 2.2 OTA, unlock it's bootloader, root, and put some CM10 on it before it developing some stuck pixels or some manufacturer defect like that, how would I go about getting it into a condition in which the device support center folks won't process the return normally? This is very easy on the Inspire 4G
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
relock bootloader and run the 1.85 ruu. pretty much all you can do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] venelar:
Great news. I swore off HTC because they were pushing out hardware so fast but they lured me back in with this device. When my next upgrade comes around...so long from now... it'll definitely be a nexus device. So tired of this bootloader game and the headache they cause.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lunercrab:
Ugh. I had the hox before when it first came out and the bootloader was locked. I liked the phone but the multitasking stuff and the lack of space and the non- replaceable battery made me go back to the galaxy line. Well ive been missing my x lately so I was looking to get another one and obviously wanting one that can be unlocked to run roms and stuff. But now I see this one coming out. I'm curious would it be better to wait for this one? I do like the fact the battery is bigger and the phone space is bigger since u can't use an sd card. But I'm sure the bootloader will be locked up tight. Wonder if I'm not better off just finding a used hox. U guys ever run into issues with only having 16g?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Saenzscene:
I honestly have not had issues with storage. I use drop box for pics and videos and Google play music for my collection. Most other things I have on my tablet such as games and other apps. So storage for me is OK but it may not be for you. I to will be getting a nexus for my next device so I will be keeping the one xl until then. It has been a perfect device for me. Awesome devs here and great people willing to help.

While I'm still mad at HTC over my original tegra 3 one x, I can't help but lust over the x+. I've run out of storage on my one xl due to my music...kinda sucks. I'll wait to see how development pans out for the one xl first before making the jump though. It would seem 2.20 has our devs stuck. Wouldn't want to buy the x+ and be stuck with the stock att ROM!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ttinjust96:
haha lucky I got my bootloader unlocked a while ago. custom stuff is no problem for me. and it's a shame you've only got 16gb for the AT&T model. I've got an unbranded One XL so therefore i have 32gb :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
The One X+ looks like a pretty significant upgrade to me.

Just a question to those saying that they're gonna get the next Nexus - do you really want an LG made Android device and one that may be named the LG Optimus Nexus G? Rumor also has it that it will come with carrier bloat and a way to install LG's custom interface.

The Nexus phone being the flagship Android phone is no more. Google, sadly, isn't going in that direction anymore.
