[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] userno69:
Hey guys I am having a very annoying issue with my Sprint Gnex. It runs the latest OTA (I believe 4.1.1) and is not unlocked or rooted.

Well, I want to unlock it, and so I try following this guide:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/05/how-to-unlock-the-galaxy-nexus-bootloader/

I have the latest drivers from Samsung installed on my PC. What happens is that whenever the phone is in recovery mode, it is not properly detected by my computer, and in device manager, it has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. When I am running the phone normally with USB debugging enabled, it works fine. Just not in recovery mode.

As a result, I can't run the "fastboot oem unlock" command! Essentially, I can't do anything with the phone! Can anybody help or knows what might be going on? Again, when the phone booted normally, it is detected by my computer and adb commands work fine. Just not when it is in recovery mode! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
First, of course it's your fault. Who else's would it be?

A tip for you: When you get that yellow exclamation mark when connected in recovery, you need to manually update the driver.

Another tip for you: naked drivers, you don't need any of that Samsung crap

And the last one: normal ADB mode doesn't work in stock recovery, only ADB sideload.

Okay, this is really the last one: if you had EVEN browsed this forum and read the stickies, you would have known that to unlock your device, you need to be in fastboot mode, not recovery mode, 2 different things, and you can get there by.. Searching.

Where do I get the driver to manually update? And sideload didn't work either, I tried using it to install the 4.2 official ROM, but it wouldn't detect the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I've edited my previous post. Where do you get the driver? Where did you install it to? Search for naked drivers in Dev section.

You know what? Piss off. I was tired when I posted this thread, and looks like I had some of my terminology mixed up. When I was in recovery trying to flash GA02, adb sideload IS what I was using. The drivers I got from Samsung simply didn't work. If you are trying to suggest that it should have occurred to me that "Hey, seems like the official drivers don't work for what they are designed to do. Obviously I need hacked ones" then you are out of your mind.

In fact, it turns out that the Universal Naked Drivers you referenced did the trick perfectly, which I do appreciate. Right now, that is aside the point however.

On to the terminology mixup. It turns out when I was trying to unlock the device I WAS in the fastboot menu, not recovery. I was not aware of the naming distinction, but I WAS in the right place, and it still didn't work. Presumably due to the Samsung drivers, which were apparently the source of all the problems I've been having.

Again, I appreciate you pointing me in the direction of the Naked drivers, but I take serious issue with condescending attitude that so many people have on XDA.

so the sim card is not working for whatever reason. i am looking into this now. my phone was a p999 in the google play store and is now a p990. interesting. I started this process of installing v30a ICS onto my p999 tonight by using clockworkmod recovery that was designed for p990 v6.0.x.x

I found this method by searching dual boot p999 on xda and i found a person wanting to dual boot and thought they to could install p990 rooms onto their p999. So it almost works yo

So maybe you should type up very carefully, step by step what you did. All i got out of your posts is that you have a p990 rom, running on a p999 and that you did it using a cwm made for the p990. You also mentioned something abt dual boot..... Im confused and i think some others are too. Plz explain what you did. Im not trying to hate, im just trying to understand. Thanks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I think everyone needs to calm down and not get their hopes up. I'm no expert but I know the following: what the op did is very much possible, when I first got my G2x I mistook it for an O2x due to poor advertising as well as a little bit of stupidity on my end. Anyways, I ended up flashing cwm for the p990 and then a gb rom from the p990 forums. For a long time I couldn't figure out why my radio wasn't working but I finally figured it out and fixed my phone.

So basically we can (quite simply) turn our phones into p990s without radio but this method will most likely (100% in my opinion) NOT help us get any closer to solving the radio issue.

P.S. The op could've gotten restrictions lifted off of his xda account by a forum moderator or administrator and that would explain why he can post in this section so don't jump to conclusions. Also, this is the wrong section for this thread

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
Why are you guys always throwing out interesting news while I'm not here ? :p

It's based on the same kernel source every CM10/10.1 builds has right now, which means no radio possible at this state. Still, bigred850 if you want to send me a kmsg I'd be interested to take a look into it.

Actually, I'm not that much surprised it works since support for the P999 has already been partly imbedded in that V30A source code. This thread should be moved to G2X General.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] n30wav3:
if u guys read the OP correctly he said he used the dual boot method. And it might work as it resize the partitions on p999. The original dual boot nvflash bit was from p990 the dev just converted it so it can match the p999 partition size. right now what could be happening there is that the dual boot bit is acting like a wrapper for p999 on which this p990 rom is booting up. But as obvious no radio can work til the RIL issue is resolved

Anyway I think its a good thing to play with.... stock rom... if its working and mazout could fix the wifi this might work similar to his cm10 rom

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokenMonkey:
Hi all,

Thanks for helping me out with this. When Jelly Bean was first announced I tried an unofficial ROM that was very buggy, so I went back to an AOKP ICS build. Since then I switched to CM 10.0 and continued to use it for a while until I heard about the recent Paranoid Android builds so I decided to give Jelly Bean another shot.

As we all know, Jelly Bean places its files inside a folder titled 0 (Zero) on the phone. When I upgraded the first time, all my files were automatically moved into the 0 folder and when I downgraded, they did not move back but I could still see and access the 0 folder with my old files in it. So far, so good.

Since I was using that configuration for a month I took a lot of photos and downloaded some files that I definitely don't want to lose. So imagine my surprise when I installed Paranoid Android and I could no longer access my old pictures and files!!

My guess is that the files are still on the phone's memory, but since the operating system now sees 0 as its root folder, it isn't aware of all the files existing outside that directory and can't physically access them using Astro or Android File Transfer (or Windows Explorer).

So my question to the amazing community here is this:

How can I access 100% of the phone's internal memory?

I assume there is a way to do this from recovery, but I don't want to do something that could potentially delete those files before I get to copy them to my computer and the folders inside the 0 directory.

Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Use a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and move the files into the relevant folder under 0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spider37:
Hi,

i have the same problem than you ><,

appeared after flashing nightly CM10.1, the only solution to remove the folder "0" than I found is to save everything (by ftp because by usb connection I did'nt see my file) and formatted the sdcard ... not clean solution...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrokenMonkey:
ES File Explorer is not working for that. It still doesn't see the old folders. Any other suggestions?

I tried using ClockworkMod recovery and selecting "Mount Storage" while connected to my computer but when I click "Mount Storage" nothing happens. Any help with this would be appreciated, because when I browse using ClockworkMod Recovery (like for a .zip to install) I can definitely see the old folders with the old files in them.

[Nexus 10 General] Nickslife89:
I was thinking... I know a few Asus tablets you can open and fix the light bleed in a few simple steps.. Well the nexus 10 is extremely easy to open, so playing around with it a little might result in a fix. Has anyone tried this? I searched online and can't find it. I'm half attempted to crack her open to see what's causing this.
[Nexus 10 General] Patrik G:
how do they fix the lightbleed on the Asus?

you cant fix it on the N10 as the display and the glass is glued together.

what causes the lightbleed you think?

its simple

the so called gorilla glass? that is more like plastic bends.

or more correct its the frame that isnt flat.

its the curves on the display that makes it bleed.

if you find a Nexus 10 that is completly flat on the glass then you probably wont have any lightbleed.

do this

place the N10 with the glass facing down on a flat surface and put some weights ontop of it

just as much weight to bring the bended glass down to the surface.

in my case i used about 3kg (6.6 lbs) ontop

do that for a couple of nights and you will se an improvement as the frame slowly reshapes.

trust me its no way you can crack this glass

i have used ALOT of force on the corners :)

44-66 lbs i think as i wanted to know how much force was needed to bend it back to normal hehe

this glass is just to soft.

the frame is build with steel or aluminium and not plastic so its the same there

you cant break the frame.

it just bends with the force you put to it.

its the frame you reshapes to flat not the glass.

the glass only follows the shape of the frame

i had lightbleed on the low right corner but not anymore as the frame is flat.

weird that i couldnt find this solution in the manual

why is that ;)?
[Nexus 10 General] enik_fox:
Damn that's a really good tip. Mine doesn't lay flat. What do you recommend as a weight?
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
Hmmm I'll give it a shot, perhaps if I apply some heat while doing that I'll fix the back flex
[Nexus 10 General] Patrik G:
i dont think the display will like heat so dont do that :)

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

6 pack BUD ? ;)

use anything but dont use a to small size weight as you want even weight over the whole backplate.

to small size weight over a small area is not recomended.

use a larger plate over the backplate and put weights on the plate

then you will get the weight even distributed

optimal would be to just put weight around the sides where the frame is

Solution 2:

if you got lightbleed at just one corner just hang the tablet at that corner.

use the tablets own weight to reshape it.

does it sound crazy?

hanging a Nexus 10 from one corner over night just to get rid of lightbleed.

it sure does ;)

but its the only solution to get rid of it.

do it for one week and your lightbleed is gone or not as bad as it was before

note: display upwards with this solution and not the opposite :)

then you will get even more lightbleed.

[Nexus 10 General] Patrik G:
no i wont because photos increases the problem

it looks worse than it is.

you will allways have a slight lightbleed on these types of displays that has edge LED

what you want is an even lightbleed and not more at some parts of the screen.

just try it for your self and you will see if it works or not

[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Just like the weird Nexus 7 fixes for devices with screen lift I don't understand why anyone would risk some of these DIY `fixes' on a device that cost hundreds of dollars.. If your light bleed is bad enough you're willing to try some wacky fix, it's bad enough to use the warranty that comes with it.. One sounds a lot more logical than the other.
[Nexus 10 General] Nickslife89:
Lets face it.. there is not a single device out there without light bleed.. however the nexus 10 is just to awesome to give up.

Now when you say hang the device, do you mean, for example let the side with the light bleed to hang off the side of a table. like, 50% on the table and 50% off? :silly:
[Nexus 10 General] atg284:
Just by going by the last pictures that were posted I think he means to have the pressure on the corner with the light bleed. So wedge it in between two things and let the weight of the device itself reshape the frame. Correct me if I'm wrong...
[Nexus 10 General] Patrik G:
with 50% you will not get enough weight to affect the frame

its more 80% off hanging in the air

---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

correct

english is my second language :)

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

well its better than return the tablet 10 times and still not get one back without lightbleed

sending it back and get a good one in return is just pure luck.

you can put 60lbs of weight on the corners and bend it,still it wont break so nothing will break with this solution.

so no need to worrying about using warranty for a cracked screen

wacky fix haha

i agree

its a wacky lightbleed that needs a wacky method.

Idk that this will work. I don't think metal will just conform to a shape because you hold it there for x amount of time. Usually metal has to be bent past the point that you want it to be at and you don't usually have to keep it there for very long.
