[Galaxy S III General] jnr21:
Do you have pics, video, music or something on your internal sdcard? It doesn't get wiped (and it shouldn't) when doing factory reset or cache wipes. So if you wan't more space, backup important files to your pc and format internal sdcard.

Edit: All partitions (system, data, internal storage, cache) is in that 16gb flash chip, and if you make factory reset/data wipe and cache wipes, then only system, data and cache get wiped, not internal storage.

Hey guys,

I just currently purchased a Nexus 4 android phone. The thing is that i've had an iphone for a very long time, the current one im using is iphone 4S which im going to get rid of for when this nexus 4. i never used an android before so if you guys can help me with the tips tricks or guides on how to use it.

I know on ios there is jailbreak and there is cydia and installous. Is it similar to android? do they have those things too? If so can someone instruct me on how to perform these tasks?

Thanks so much!

Unlock your boatloader and then root it. It'll give you more freedom and some great apps that require to have "root"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonTS:
You can root an android device which is much like a jailbreak for an iOS device. However, most of the things you need a jailbreak for on iOS, can be done without rooting.

If you would like to know how to root your phone, take a look at the original development section, there are many guides and tutorials for this sort of thing
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klvnhng:
Take a look at this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34769183

It contains pretty much everything you need to know in order to root (essentially the same as jailbreak) your device.

OP, welcome to Android!

Understand that any transition will be difficult. There are things that iOS can do, or do better than, Android. The reverse is also true. Be prepared for change and you'll be OK.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Hey IMHO, there is no need to "jailbreak" on android, as its not locked down like iphones. Especially the nexus 4. I would suggest you skip rooting and unlocking your bootloader* for now.

Since its your first android device, enjoy and learn it as is.

*thing about unlocking your bootloader, it resets your phone and you lose all your data, and customizations, so its something to consider doing at the onset. Not a big deal, your contacts and apps can be easily restored/ reinstalled.

Root is just giving yourself administrative permissions/ access to your own phone /os. Once you learn using your phone you can decide if there are any features you need access to that require root. But if you do this at the start and fiddle with your phone you will not know if its the phone acting up or something you caused.. You can accidently delete, move or change something that can potentially render your phone useless and unbootable. Also malicious apps would have access to do the same ( there arent many though, youll most likely kill it by your own hehe).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Welcome to android buddy!

As a mulit-platform kinda guy, it is simply great to have both OSs.

1. No, android doesn't not have anything like cydia or installous. (Btw, installous is gone. Hackulous abandoned the project)

2. On android the equivalent to jailbreak is call root, rooting and rooted.

3. How do you obtain root access? Head over to the correct android development thread and find "how to root xx device"

Follow the guide below on how to use the toolkit to root. (This toolkit is the same for the nexus 4. Don't worry about it even though its in the nexus 7 forum)

The toolkit is an easy way to gain root access similar to redsn0w or any popular jailbreak tether or untethered method.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtrader:
thanks guys, but i have a question, does rooting and unlocking bootloader open the phone up to any insecurity or possible virus hacks? since i heard android phones have a lot of viruses and exploits so i wanted to make sure before i proceed.

so in terms, rooting means gaining full administration and what does bootloader do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
no. only viruses you'd get are if you sideload APKs from third-party websites/app markets, so don't sideload apks from random websites.

rooting: allows you to do changes outside of /sdcard/

bootloader: allows you to change recovery/bootloader/radio via fastboot mode.

recovery mode allows you to flash stuff to your phone (to obtain root, flash custom rom, flash custom kernel, flash custom recovery, flash radio, etc)

press thanks button to those who helped you :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
The only people who get viruses are stupid people who try to pirate apps or install apps from sources other than the official play store. Stick with Google Play and don't pirate crap and you have nothing to worry about :)

Also, pretty much everything that you needed to jailbreak an iphone to do, can be done on bone stock android without needing to root or unlock the bootloader.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
No cydia since you can sideload apps.

I've seen a few apps like installous but none that I've stuck with.

Root is useful since it allows you to use apps like titanium backup, tasker and adaway.

The N4 should be an easy transition from 4S, it's certainly the first android phone I've used in 3yrs that I feel compares to its equivalent ios counterpart.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtrader:
thanks all

also i was wondering is there any kind of program or official program for nexus 4 like itunes?

for my iphone, i just plug it in and hit sync and it does evrything for me like backing up and syncing music and apps
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You can use Google Music on your computer and sync music to your nexus 4. But you really don't need a media manager like iTunes to sync media to your device. Just load them up on the device and play!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtrader:
and how about backup? how can i backup everything on the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blakmagic:
That's where rooting comes to play. Titanium backup is the best but requires root.

And nand backup will backup the phone as is but you have to root it. Nand is in recover mode after you root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juicyjones:
Music on Android sucks. I can't wait until Microsoft finishes the Xbox Music software for Android and iOS in another couple of months. You can get close to the same functionality, with a crap music player, using Play Music.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I believe you can backup in stock recovery without root but I'm not 100% sure. For app backups, you can use carbon. No root required, but you'll have to download an accompanying app on your computer. You can do it all on device with root however.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:
Hello,

Trying to get my new mb525 setup. Got it last night and everything worked well as far as the radio, able to get 3G with decent connection speed.

After rooting and installing CM10 (quarx) I'm not getting anything on the network, no 2g, no 3g, and just "emergency calls only". Thought it might be the tmobile sim card, but tried others and still no luck. Put in an old AT&T sim card and got a connection, so seems that there is something wrong with the radio itself, at least for the frequencies I need, but for GSM I'd think there wouldnt be any problem since all the radios are quad band GSM, right?

I've tried using standalone Baseband Switcher, as well as the one built into CM with no luck. I also tried the 3G fixes, replacing the files in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default with those in freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip.

Baseband is at EPU93_U_00.60.03, and I know it has previously had JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf flashed onto it. Have rebooted, reflashed, wided dalvik/cache/system quite a few times since last night, with no luck.

Is there a solution for this? I would appreciate any insight.

Thank you,
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:

Re: No radio after rooting, tmobile US

Did you install any custom kernel?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:
Yes, I've tried both the signed kernels here http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/, that were linked from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795647.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:
So following up on this.

I flashed the JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz sbf file, Tmobile base, as a start. No signal. Pulled the official OTA update, still no signal. This puts baseband version at epu93_U_00.58.00, and kernel at 2.6.32.9-g8431013.

Rooted with Gingerbreak and installed Baseband switcher, have tried each of the 3 TMobile bands and still no signal.

At this point I've largely given up on getting this to work for me, but now I just want to understand why it doesn't. Is there something that controls the radio that wouldn't be taken care of by flashing and SBF? Is there anything that controls radio frequencies/firmware besides this, and is there any way to determine what frequencies a current radio firmware supports?

Does anyone have a working tmobile nandroid backup that I could compare with this?

Seems unlikely, but is it possible that this is a hardware issue that just happened to occur while I was initially putting on CM10?

I realize this is a wall of questions, so thanks for reading this far :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman88:
Last update.

Success, I'm a dumbass. I finally realized that the baseband I was selecting wasn't for the network I was trying to connect to, it was for the radio hardware! One of the Chinese firmwares, ME722 1.0 was perfect for me, and seems to support more than just the bands listed in CM. Says 850/1900/2100, but I'm getting nice HSPA speeds on tmobile, which is in the 1700 mhz band, so great stuff.

Hope this helps someone else, and saves them a few hours.

If you have an unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash enter cwm :)

I would do it like this:

1. Take off the battery

2. Insert battery

3. Hold volume up

4. While holding it connect it to PC

(It's in fastboot mode to flash the kernel)

5. Flash an ics kernel with flashtool, flash the one you like (or see which is recommend for a miui rom for ST18i)

6. Unplug phone, boot in cwm

7. Mount usb and copy the zip of the rom for st18i to your phone

7.1 if this won't work, do

adb push name_of_the_rom_zip /sdcard/

8. Wipe data/factory reset -> wipe cache

9. Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache

10. Install the zip

11. Reboot and enjoy ;)

Should work ;)
