[Nexus S Android Development] blancer:
good day guys! please help me with my problem.

i have recently bought a used nexus s. i have acquired this phone because i know that it uses the wolfson audio chip and i want to make it a music player by using the voodoo sound app (this app needs root access). my problem is i don't know what version it is hence i can't root it for fear of flashing the wrong kernel and bricking the phone. i'm in the philippines so if the phone was bought here, it must be an i9020 international version. besides, there are no korean apps or characters present. i took a picture of the sticker under the battery and saw texts in korean and then it says SHW-M200K at the end of the first line. i know that this is the code for the korean version. so is it right for me to assume that i have the korean version? but then again in the fourth line of the sticker i saw text that says FCC ID: A3LGTi9020. this is the code for the international version so i'm confused. when i checked the settings, about phone, it showed android version as 4.1.2 and baseband as XXKI1. lately i saw a korean version of the nexus s and the baseband starts with M200..... however, my phone's baseband is XXKI1. i'm really confused please help me. i'm planning to root this using this toolkit but i don't know what's the version of my phone.

i don't know if this is the right thread to seek help but thank you in advance.

here's the pic of the sticker under the battery:

Korean version did not received the 4.1.2 yet so your situation is strange. It is not possible that someone before you converted the Korea version into international? It is possible and this could also explain your strange situation with baseband.

Anyway if in this toolkit you choose the "any version" option you can root your phone, immediately after unlock and root do a backup in this way if you later find some trouble with kernel or rom you can go back with a nandroid backup.

You can also use links that I've pasted here to find original nexus s rom to go back to stock if you need.

Hey guys, Im having difficulties rooting my device using the tool. I have successfully rooted my device before. But when i installed a slimbean rom some how i got unrooted. I have tried with the nexus root toolkit and it does all the nessesary things like boot to recovery and then it stops at trwp recovery it doesnt do anything. On my pc it says waiting for device to fully boot up, if i dont manually hit reboot on trwp nothing will happen.

So after a reboot, still not rooted. When i tried to follow directions for busybox, i get an error on busybox something about improperly rooted device. I unistalled and install, same results. Same thing with super user, i install and uninstall, i flashed it no use, same thing.

I also did the test device and passed :confused: so what could be wrong. im using nexus s 4.2.2 slimbean rom 4.2.2 build 6.
[Nexus S Android Development] ej8989:
Re-flash slim bean 4.2.2 build 6. Do a nandroid backup then a clean flash before re-flashing.
[Nexus S Android Development] cosmos10040:
It says i cannot do a nandroid backup unless i root. But i saw the error on trwp console. Something about readytoflash.zip was not found

(update) I just went ahead and flashd a newer build and that fixed the problem after the backup . thank you.

Hi guys!

One friend brought me his Nexus S because he has a big trouble with it. First he has CM 10.1.2 on it and he told me that he tried to flash a stock rom, unsuccessfully, and then he formatted the /sdcard from the Clockworkmod. Now when it reboots it only shows the screen with the Google's logo and the opened lock. I've tried to use NRT but it show me an error message about the fastboot. I've also some problems with the Initial Setup of NRT in the Step 3 because i can't enable Debugging Mode and try the Driver Test. Please help me!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Consider it soft bricked and use the toolkit accordingly.. power on your phone (power and vol. +) and select soft bricked/ flash to stock option, you won't need debugging mode activated...
[Nexus S Android Development] alfax21:
I've tried and it gives me the error "fastboot device not found". The phone is plugged in with the usb cable and i've tried also to change the usb port.
[Nexus S Android Development] alfax21:
When i do the full driver test in the initial setup of NRT it gives me the error "adb device not found". If i launch the command "adb devices" it doesn't find the device. And when i try to flash the stock rom with NRT considering the phone as soft bricked it says "fastboot device not found". Please i really need help!
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Try another USB slot... don't go into recovery or power fully up... make sure your adb drivers are up to date...
[Nexus S Android Development] alfax21:
I've tried all the usb slot, and i didn't select "Recovery". The drivers are up to date because i've unistalled and re-installed them before.
[Nexus S Android Development] alfax21:
Ok i've solved the problem by installing different drivers. I've installed the RAW drivers and then used Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the stock rom. Thanks anyway!!
[Nexus S Android Development] StyL3sX:
Hello, i have one problem. When i plug the phone to PC the program recognize it. Everything is fine until program restart my phone in fastboot mode after that he doesnt recognize the phone... i uninstalled all phone drivers, reinstalled , trying all steps.. nothing work.. what i did wrong :( ? anyone have the plasure to help me please ? Thanks :)
[Nexus S Android Development] WugFresh:
Based on your description your drivers are "half-way" configured. Your device has different modes. On with USB debugging is one mode (ADB MODE), and in bootloader mode is another (FASTBOOT MODE). When your device is in bootloader mode, open up device manager and look for unconfigured devices,. You can use the "manual" driver method in the guide to walk you through this configuration if it doesn't auto configure. Cheers

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce205:
I have a stock T-bolt and it has a terrible GPS function. It rarely locks onto anything, and thus my location in Maps is usually off or bouncing around even if I have VZ and Google locations turned on. I've tried all the fixes in the forum, including the GPS Status Toolbox app clearing the GPS cache and it does not help.

I read in one post that there is a patch:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447596

Can this patch be applied to a stock (factory) ROM?

I was thinking of rooting but I'm wondering if I can just download a newer radio and flash that, or do you have to flash both the ROM and radios? My baseband #s are 1.49.00.0406w_1 and 0.01.79.0331w_1,
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoso59brst:
You should be able to flash the radios without touching the stock rom... However, you would be amazed at how much better your tbolt can be without running all the bloat of the stock operating system. It's like trying to tow a house with a tricycle. The ICS roms are still a little buggy, but awesome nonetheless, but there are several great gingerbread roms that run perfectly. If you decide to flash a new rom check out Liquid Smooth 3.2 or some of the BAMF roms if you like HTC Sense.

As far as the GPS goes, the tbolt GPS has always sucked. The patch helps somewhat. I don't think you can install it without root.

You can try to install GPS Status & Toolbox from the play store, but again I don't know how much you'll be able to do without root access. If it works it will allow you to reset the GPS data and download helper data of current satellite positions. Worth a try for free.

Edit: just reread and saw you tried GPS status... I'm a dope.

I currently have the best GPS function I've ever had, running Twisted's ICS rom... "Liquid/cm9/aokp/random ics" or something on xda.

tl;dr: root your tbolt and never look back.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce205:
Here's something else I've discovered. The GPS actually came alive but it seems to happen way more frequently when I have the extended battery installed regardless of how much charged it is. I have a Seido battery and rear cover. I use the GPS Test app to check my satellite reception. When I put the HTC battery and stock cover back on, I rarely pick up a signal and if I do its only 1 satellite. Then I can swap batteries & covers and frequently, but not constantly, I'll pick up 6,8, or more satellites and get a good enough lock that I can use Navigation. Why would the battery & cover make a difference?

Hello,

I'm having trouble with my S beam. My wife and I both have an S3 rooted stock rom (VRLHE), and has wallet installed. the other day we tried beaming images to each other and it doesn't work. I'm not sure what the problem is and was wondering if anyone on here can help. we've used s beam before in the past.

NFC is enabled, android beam and S beam are both enabled on both devices.

when i put the two devices together, it makes that "i'm about to beam something" tone then instantly makes the error tone.

anyone know how i can fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
try odin'ing back to stock and see if that issue persists, if it does, then it could be bad nfc

or first try nfc'ing with someone else who has an nfc chip with both your phones, see if its just an sbeam issue or if its nfc issue or what

Users have reported things like this when using my wallet guides or other ones. I will look into it, but will be hard for me to work because I dont have another S3 accessible.

*sorry can't post link due to my "status"

The body glove is not bad, what Dioscorus meant was he paid $25 for the body glove and he could have bough a similar case on Amazon in the 'Icon Guardian ' that has a similar or perhaps superior function with aesthetics at half the cost.

Has anyone gotten this yet?

Looks pretty nice - I tried the samsung flip, but it offers NO protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Actually, the flip offers 100% more screen side protection than this case. Side note, you thought the flip would offer anything more than that? It's pretty obvious when looking at it that it won't.

I decided I liked the front screen protection from the flip so much I purchased this to get The Best of Both Worlds

Back to the Ionic case... is it me, or does it look like polka dots?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mastergrim8:
I ordered it earlier this week, should have it next week. I'll review it once I get a couple of weeks under my belt.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
My case arrived today and I'm impressed to say the least. It won't replace an Aegis or Ballistic, but will definitely hold you over and for some be just enough. I took a lot of pics and I'm going to upload shortly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thunderwagn:
I also purchased this case and was a bit hesitant at first about the "polka dot" appearance. But once I got the case and put it on the Note II, all hesitations disappeared! Imho the side rockers are much easier to push with this case on. I must say, I can tell very little if any difference between the quality of this case compared to something like the Ballistic Shell Gel case I have on the gs3. Like mentioned above, the very top and bottom rubber is a bit flimsy, but really there isn't much device real estate available to firm it up much more. All ports and S-pen are easily accessed. For the $ of this case, I don't think you could go wrong. I bought it as a temporary case till the Ballistic or Otter comes out, but honestly I don't know if I want to fork out triple the green backs when this case seems to fit my needs just right.

If you're looking for something that doesn't add a lot of bulk, adds some nice grip and protection, check out this case. It's cheap and worthy in my opinion ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
I returned my Seidio because the soft rubber is not on very tight at the top and bottom edge. Looks like this one has the same problem. Going to try this $10 that has a hard shell that covers the sides, top, and bottom. Hopefully it will eliminate the short coming of the Sedio and Iconic. Also hopefully the rubber in this case won't be a lint magnet:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mastergrim8:
I've owned the Ionic Guardian Case for around 2 weeks now and I have had the Ballistic SG case for a week.

Here's the comparison:

Ionic Guardian Case

Pros:

-Great bang for buck

-Slim

-Good Build Quality

-Cut outs match almost perfectly

-Reinforced Corners

-Lay Flat feature

-Little pods in the back provide better grip

-Easy to remove

Cons:

-Silicon is somewhat frail, should be a tad thicker for better protection

-No port covers

-Silicon is not tight enough especially at the top and bottom

-Top and Bottom protection is almost non existent with the thinness of the silicon, phone will get damaged if dropped directly on its bottom surface or top surface.

Ballistic SG

Pros:

-Moderately Slim

-Good Build Quality

-Reinforced Corners

-Lay Flat feature

-Easy to remove

-Good side protection

-Very good drop protection if dropped on the back

Cons:

-Silicon is not "dense" enough especially compared to other models ex: iphone 5

--No port covers

-Silicon is not tight enough especially at the top and bottom

-Top and Bottom protection is almost non existent with the thinness of the silicon, phone will get damaged if dropped directly on its bottom surface or top surface

If you haven't noticed the Ionic is almost an exact duplicate of the SG case, here's how they compare to each other.

Build Quality: Ballistic wins but a small margin. It has a stronger silicon and thicker polycarbonate shell

Corner Protection: Ballistics corners are more dense and has less give.

Flat Screen Drop Protection: Ballistic would probably win due to its thicker corners and slightly higher edges on the front screen.

Back Screen Protection: Ballistic would win with its superior polycarbonate shell

Top Drop Protection: Neither because quite frankly, they both suck and would shatter on impact

Bottom Drop Protection: see above

Basically the Ionic is a poor man's Ballistic SG case. I bought my Ionic for $13 and my Ballistic for $26. If I had to choose again I would probably just buy the Ionic due to its moderate protection but if you have that extra money to fork over, they get the ballistic for slightly better build and protection. Overall I am disappointed that both cases couldn't deliver on the protection from the top and bottom, but other than that I feel safer than if the phone was naked.

Heres a breakdown of the pics:

1-7: Ballistic 1) Front 2) Back 3) Lay-Flat feature 4) Corner 5) Unimpressive bottom lip 6) Unimpressive top lip 7) Sides

8-14: Ionic 1) Front 2) Back 3) Lay-Flat feature 4) Corner 5) Unimpressive bottom lip 6) Unimpressive top lip 7) Sides

15-20: Comparison of 1) Fronts 2) Backs 3) Corners 4) Top 5) Bottom 6) Sides
