I would recommend a PC and flash a stock lf6 ICS ROM through Odin if it were me.it shouldn't wipe any of the internal SD card so pictures and stuff should still be there.after that you can install custom recovery through Odin , and after that you can install custom ROM or stay stock and root it. If you need help installing cm10 like you were trying just pm me....

Hey guys i was wondering if any of you got the dev version that could shed some light on what version of BL is the dev version using???

I have an unlocked BL ( one of the few lucky Bell ones) and want to compare.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjairusx:
Hi all,

I'd like some clarification on flashing a new kernel and a compatible jelly bean rom on my galaxy s2, I've only flashed it once previously through ODIN with a stock rooted ICS rom and flashed a modem file via ODIN also.

I think I need to install CWM in order to access potential kernels, perhaps siyah or team skyfire? I'm not sure I like the idea of TWRP totally in case touchscreen was damaged and I needed to be able to recover the phone in some case.

I'm not asking whats the best, but there's going to be more people who have experimented more perhaps and can offer their opinion which would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenneth131:
OK has anyone had any experience on doing an exchange or return in the UK for a nexus 4.

I recieved mine today and the damn device is perfect in every way except the bezel had a big chunk of paint chipped off where the volume rocker is. I was gutted as the screen was pixel perfect the buttons were solid the back didn't creak. nothing.

So I thought I'll set up an exchange no problem Google are good this way. After all the guys over in the us get a shipping label send off the device and in the mean time a new one is winging its way to you. Thanks to ups.

So I spoke to Eric who said he would set up the RMA and I should send back the damaged device with the shipping label and RMA note in the email he would send.

Not so

I got the email and it had an RMA document but no shipping label.

I phoned to ask where I send it from then. Now Jeremy tells me they don't do shipping labels for the UK as its TNT that deal with things over here.

OK I thought I'll contact TNT

Nope they need a reference number for collection or before they can do anything.

So I phone back

In the mean time I check my Google account and notice the new device £279 pending. So I check my bank and find the £279 has been pre authorized on my bank account

Which wouldn't be so bad if they sent a shipping label etc as I could have it sent away tomorrow and with them next week. Well within the 21days return and they wouldnt charge me.

As it is I have no shipping label and no one can reassure me that one is or will be send and how I will receive it.

So I call up johnney at Google who tells me it should turn up but does not know how.

Well I can't have £279 pre auth out my account for a device that will ship to me sometime and £288 out my account for a device I have but is faulty so can't sell it and probably won't get a shipping label sent out therefore I'll end up with one good device which I will be charged for and another that's faulty and cannot return

That's if the exchange is OK when it comes

My god why don't they offer a door step exchange like Sony did with the ps3 etc through ups or city link

In the end I couldn't take the risk and had to cancel the exchange so that the pre auth will drop off my account and set up the RMA for the one I have to get a refund.

I know its not great but better than being charged again and ending up not being able to return the first.

From what I read over at the nexus 7 forum a lot of UK customers waited for about a month for refunds but some were 59 days or more as the shipping labels just didn't go out.

So I wanted to know if anyone had already went through this process in the UK and what the actual procedure was and how long it took to receive the shipping label etc. Did it get sent out or did you drop it off with TNT and give googles account number or what.

Any info would be great and I'm sure it would help other UK customers as I would have really liked some info.

Unfortunately we are not as fortunate as our US brothers and sisters to be able to deal with ups and simple returns.

Here's some pics of my lovely but flawed nexus

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrush4:
I've just organised a replacement due to white spots on the screen and the buzzing earpiece. It took a while to get through, and I was ready to break something due to the pre recorded message about high volumes of calls on a constant loop (as in it literally repeats the second it finishes) but the guy I spoke to was extremely helpful, more so than any UK based CSR I've ever dealt with!

In terms of the procedure, he's emailing me with an RMA form and he said a prepaid postage label will come with my new device in order to send the defective one back. He also said a charge will appear on my card and once they receive the defective device they'd take the charge off.

Although my experience hasn't completed yet, I thought I'd share my experience so far.

01354 226184 that's the none 0800 number to call for UK based support by the way, for those who can't call 0800 numbers for free.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenneth131:
Yeah same as myself.

The issue I have with it all is they don't really know who arranges what in the UK. I was told its TNT that arrange the returns bag but TNT say its Google that have to initiate the return through TNT. Then latter sounds more sensible but Google cs don't know how to do this and presume its automatic.

Problem is you only have a limited time to get the return back to them.

If I could walk into TNT give googles TNT account number then pop the device in a bag with the RMA note I would be happy.

It would be sent off and tracked. Simply just have to wait on it being received and refunded.

What makes me uneasy is the potential for the returns bag to never turn up. You get billed for a second device and no way to return the original defective one.

I'll keep this going as there are lots of threads about returns in the US but nothing about how the process works in practice in the UK which leaves me wishing Google had a walking store or doorstep exchange service.

Also thanks for the non 0800 number :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpqpqp:
You know I remember reading somewhere in the agreement Google say that they reserve the rights to send out used/refurbished items as replacement. Maybe your nexus is one of those.

Just a suggestion: Do try to make sure you handle your RMA carefully. I recently did an RMA and the CSR sounds like a complete noob and in the email they sent me has a RMA agreement with ASUS and link on it.They're just getting real sloppy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
There is no way the RMA stock already has returned/refurbished devices in it. They have to go back through a process to be repaired, inspected, tested, and repackaged before they can be sent as RMA units and this process takes weeks or even months. Any RMA units that are sent out at this point in time will definitely be new units.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenneth131:
The RMA devices are new as they have as said before kept a stock of new ones aside for this purpose.

As of yet I have not had any returns envelope or shipping label etc.

I know j could use the nexus 4 just now until returned but I'm just so fed up with the whole process its left the device tainted with this experience. Its an awesome device and love the design I just can't bring myself to use it because of all this. So it will be returned as I got it if I ever get to return it

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rob014:
I'm trying to arrange a collection for my faulty Nexus, I have the TNT bag with the consignment letter, which has a senders account number registered to Google. The delivery address on the consignment letter is that of LG Electronics in Poland, TNT won't collect it as the delivery address that they have registered to the Account Number that I'm quoting is for Google in Belgium.

Did anyone else experience this? I'm tempted to blag it with TNT and just say that the delivery address is what they think it should be.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randalla0622:
I had broken Bluetooth when I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2. To fix it I had do a clean install of the stock ROM via fast boot (NOTE: it wipes everything).

Instructions to do that are floating around in here but if you can't find them let me know.

Adam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] legato89:
I just did a clean install of 4.2 via fastboot using the image from Googles site, then upgraded OTA to 4.2.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gialakias:
If you are in 4.2.1 and your Bluetooth does not work here is what worked for me: IT WORKS ONLY IF YOU HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND FASTBOOT SET ON YOUR PC. Download the 4.2.1 factory image from Google yakju or takju depends what you have. Then with 7zip extract ALL the compressed files until you have the file named system.img . Put the system.img file in your fastboot folder and boot your Gnex in bootloader. Then open a terminal in fastboot folder and flash the system image with the command : fastboot flash system system.img. After finishing, reboot and the Bluetooth should be fine. At least that worked for me. WARNING! YOU WILL LOSE ROOT AND OTA ROOTKEEPER BACKUP IF YOU DO THIS SO YOU HAVE TO REROOT. You will not lose data and all your settings doing this. For further explanations and guides about flashing refer to efrant's guides and threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gnoise:
This fixed it for me (with HOWTO)

Awesome, this fixed it for me! Although your instructions were a bit to vague for a novice user like me, I managed to get the fix working on Windows with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V10.4.0 (www skipsoft net):

Download the Factory Image (https //developers google com/android/nexus/images)

Extract the tgz-file (with WinRAR or 7-zip.org)

In the extracted files, find a zip file (in my case image-yakju-jop40d.zip) and extract it.

Copy the system.img to the "put_img_files_to_flash_here" directory in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toolkit directory (in my case C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_img_files_to_flash_here)

Now start the toolkit and select your device model (in my case "7. Android 4.2.1 (Build JOP40D)"

Choose option "11. Boot or Flash .img Files to Device [Fastboot Mode]"

Make sure "system.img" is displayed as available image file

Type "system.img" (or s* for short) to select it

Now follow the instructions. I can't redo them to document... They are clear. But give it some time, it will reboot once or twice and return to the Fastboot menu.

After flashing system.img, the device is unrooted, so you have to root again. You can do it your way, or use the toolkit option:

"4. Root or UnRoot your Device [Fastboot Mode]"

Then choose your favorite option. I chose option 1, because I already had it rooted before.

After these steps, you have your root back and a working bluetooth!

Thanks gialakias!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Confirmed

I also had bluetooth issues after reluctantly accepting the 4.2.1 ota. I lived without bluetooth for a while, but then finally had enough of the seeming joke google played. After considering aokp, for now the solution was reflashing the system.img from the google developers site. Works like a charm now, and i do not know why i had the issue in the first place. Again, a confirmation that a reflash of the system image via fastboot will fix your bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vrehenriqu:
Guys, this only applies to factory rom, right? Só I guess I can't do this using a custom rom...

I'm tempted to install Google factory image to see if it fixes the annoying issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I'd think a factory image on a custom rom would only cause problems. Perhaps you could unzip the custom rom zip, and find the system image to reflash. Either that, or its likely a known bug on that rom. What rom are you using, and is it a nightly?

Hi All,

i have similar problem, but BT was working more or less fine. Only hang up few times. But main problem is that i could not use BT in my car any more. Phone connecting to car with no problem, and i could receive calls from anybody, but as only i try to call from phone, not from car HF system, i get problems. While phone dialing, it happens in background mode, car audio system working, but as only recipient answer the call, Gnex turning his internal speaker, but not the car's HF system, like it was on 4.0.4 - 4.1.2. I flashed custom rom - the same problem, then i download and flash stock rom again, and nothing happens. Does it helps if i now reflesh system.img

p.s.

I asking because i gave Gnex to the warranty service (with all above mentioned explanation) and they gave me back Gnex with 4.0.4 and claim them for that. now i don't want to flash 4.2.1 until they response.

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BtM909:
I have the exact same issue with my car kit since 4.2.1 and am about to reflash my system.img... I'll let you know what the results are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BtM909:
I actually re-imaged the system.img and it seems a bit better now... It still loses it's connection after a while and it could be after 2 minutes or after 60 minutes. Once the connection is flaky or broken, I cannot connect to my carkit anymore and the weird things is, no other phone can connect until i completely reset my carkit. It seems like it's messing up with either communication or whatever as it affects the way my carkit behaves afterwards.

most important thing is to wipe your system partition / dalvik cache.

if coming from another rom (stock or whatsoever) you need to do a factory reset too.

back up your data before, cause it will be gone then.

[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
I think it came out around June 2011. Don't expect any official Jelly Bean updates from HTC but there are some great ROM's in the development section. If you like the Sense based ones, I recommend ViperS if you want the most latest Sense version, or ARHD if you want a slightly more stable Sense 3.6 experience.

If however you like the AOSP look seen on the Nexus devices I recommend either Bruce's CM10, Frankinstine's AOKP JB. My personal favourite is HyperNonSense which is Sense based but has the AOSP look for speed. My overall opinion would be to try them out, see what you like and make your own decision.

Hope this helped!

Just download the 6.1.A.2.45 generic ftf file from whatever you want, then root the Stock system with Bin4ry's method. Install CWM if you want too.

When the OTA notification appear, just download and install as usually. And the root will be there.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] CrazyPeter:
Confused by all of this...

I connected my phone last night, and it told me there was an update. I assumed it was 6.1.a.2.55 So after reading reports of OTA updates I checked for OTA updates on the phone, none available. So I figured I would try OTA RootKeeper and install the one that the desktop software offered.

As it turns out, it wasn't 6.1.a.2.55, it was 6.1.a.2.50, and I lost root by loading it. Fortunately Bin4ry's method still worked, so I could re-root.

Concerned about loading any 6.1.a.2.55, as surely it will load the same way as 6.1.a.2.50, and this wipe the system partition and lose root.

So really not sure how people managed to keep root and 6.1.a.2.55...

This post just adds to the confusion, as it's talking about FTF:

"Just download the 6.1.A.2.45 generic ftf file from whatever you want"

and also OTA updates..

"When the OTA notification appear, just download and install as usually"

Which one was it???? Surely the FTF is one thing and the OTA is something totally different....

Even more confused that I originally was....

This method is for those who want to have the latest version .55 clean. First go back to version .45 can be updated to .55. here the simplest version we get is for the Singapore market. Here
