do I need to copy part of the 4.2.2 zip file somewhere first? Right now I just have the full (zipped) download in the download folder of my gnex.

I guess I'm wondering, where do I get system.img and where do I place it so I can load it via fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
if you downloaded the image from google,

untar the image

there should be a zip after you untar it, which will have the system.img in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
Thanks ... very helpful, now i just need to know where to put the system.img? DOes it go into the same directotry where platform-tools is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
where ever your fastboot.exe is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
Hmm the file came as a .zip not a .tar

5939ff985946.signed-mysid-JDQ39-from-JRO03O.5939ff98.zip

I unzipped that and I see

folders (META-INF, patch, recovery, system) and two radio images. Did a search and couldn't find system.img in there.

Copied the full directory to where fastboot is and did the dir *.img in command prompt also didn't find any files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
that is from a OTA zip.

you need the full factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
Ah got it - thanks. They haven't put 4.2.2 up there yet for VZW as far as I can see. Can I use the 4.1.1 to somehow flash over just the gallery? Will writing system.img do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
That's exactly what it will do hence why you were told to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
^ Sorry on the confusion, I thought he was telling me to get 4.2.2 that way. I understand now. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
considering you never mentioned you were using a toro device until just recently...

if you had a maguro device, my instructions were correct.

since you have a toro device, you need factory 4.1.1 and then apply the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
You are right I neglected to mention it. Thanks, going to give this a whirl now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
I am now a happy camper on 4.2.2.

Thanks!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
good deal. glad you got it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
I am not a total noob to this, as I used to root/ROM the OG Nook Color to death, but I have a few questions on what to do when going from CM 10.1 M1 to the newest M2.

On the Nook, I could put files onto the SD card for flashing after I wiped the device in order to install a new ROM. However, on the Nexus there is no such option. I downloaded goo manager and got the latest GAPPS and M2 zip, but if I wipe the device prior to flashing the latest M2, won't these be wiped also? I guess I'm asking what is the best solution for updating ROMS since I don't have the benefit of loading files to an external SD card.

Along the same lines, I also made a NAND backup of the current ROM and a titanium backup of the apps+data. All of these files reside on the phone itself, so should I move them to the computer first, wipe the device then load them back on for flashing?

Thanks a ton.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
There is no such need mate! When you root your phone, you get "an image of your internal memory" - forgot the word for it xD

So, when you do a "wipe" in recovery (TWRP or CWM) you do a factory reset - wipe system(on twrp) - wipe cache - wipe dalvik - and it just delets the current ROM you have, all your files remain on the internal memory, togeather with the titanium backup - zip files you just flashed and so on ... Hope you understand what I meant :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
Wow, I didn't know that it left files after doing a factory wipe in TWRP. So you're saying I can wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache, but my m2 zip, Gapps zip, nandroid backup zip and titanium backup files will still be there?

What about my wifi and bluetooth settings? do I need to do those over again or are they "saved" somewhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
If they are synced with your google account, they will restore back!

When wiping - do cache - dalvik cache- factory reset - system ... DON'T wipe anything else, especially internal storage! THAT will wipe everything off ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
I don't know how to check if they are synced. I know I have contacts calendar, etc synced. How can I tell if wifi settings and bluetooth are synced?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Go to backup & reset in settings and check there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
ok, thank you! it is checked, so I guess i'm good to go.

I will wipe "SYSTEM" in TWRP - which wipes the ROM only. I will not do a factory reset in twrp.

Doom, you've been a ton of help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
christ, i tried to install m2 and in says "FAILED"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
**** **** ****! I am screwed. why did the flash of the latest m2 fail?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
Stuck on Google splash screen

I am re downloading the latest M2 from get.cm to my PC. I guess I can reboot into recovery and try to get the zip onto the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
restoring from Nand backup now. UGH. what went wrong with the goomanager m2.zip??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Perhaps you had a bad download ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
That's what I'm guessing. now my PC won't recognize the nexus...as if the device drivers won't work on my PC. ugh.

after the restore, i'll see if I can get my PC to recognize the device when I plug it in. This is odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
I ALWAYS download this via PC - then send 'em on my GNexus and then flash aterwards ... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
Thanks doom, I am restored to my old M1 rom, but my PC is not recognizing the device, so I can't move the downloaded m2 zip to it just yet. I've got to figure out what is going on with device recognition before trying this again.

My Nexus recognizes that it is connected to a PC as a USB device and I can hear the bleep on my PC that it is connected, but I cannot see the device in windows explorer.Consequently, I cannot move the zip to the device if I cannot "see" it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Do you get the icon in your comp's status bar that it's connected? Android debugging enabled in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
Its actually working now. I launched nexus root toolkit to recheck the drivers and now it magically appears in windows explorer...go figure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
should I also install the latest GAPPS after flashing M2? I was using late 2012 Gapps, but now there is one from 3/1/2013 or will that screw up something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
I don't really know ... Didn't try those out! Neither did I try M2 .. xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluewhite79:
Thanks doom! Flashed the M2 zip and newest 3/1/13 Gapps. No need to set up the phone all over again! I am now on M2 (4.2.2).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Glad you made it pal! Enjoy! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
Recently I have been experiencing this problem which drive me nuts right now.

OK, here is description.

I have been tried Omega v43 MB1, Android Revolution HD 22.4 MR2 and wannam lite v5.9 MR2, all with siyah 1.8.9

I have some background application like music and LBE security.

Just don't why, music very frequently get killed, LBE less frequently, but it happens from time to time. Every time it occurs I checked memory still over 100mb free.

I've checked LMK which is being set to "low" ...

So I really don't figure out what's going on???

I have been using siyah for very long time so I don't think it's about kernel, so I decided switch ROM, so far I tried these 3 ROMs I mentioned before but all the same just matter of more or less frequently...

And I also tried use Jkay framework to lock the apps in memory, but still kill kill kill kill...

What went wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Ok, I need a couple of opinions on what to do ... Just an hour ago I've recieved an intruiging offer ... To trade my GNexus for a LG Optimus G ... My GNexus is really in a mint condition, from the day I bought it it had an SGP Case + screen protectors, so no visible scratches on it ... And today a guy offers me a brand new, unopened Optimus G in trade for my GNexus ( which, by the way, has a decent amount of accessories - extended battery - regular battery - 2 back covers - 5 screen protectors - 2 SGP Cases ) + 120 $ ... I mean, I have to pay additional 120 $, not the other guy :D I wasn't really planning to buy another phone ( YET ) ... Atleast for another 10 - 12 months ... But he made such a good offer :D I don't really have much time to play with my GNexus lately, since I got a new job ... So what'cha think folks? Trade or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Check out the optimus forum and get a feel for the community and check the q&a section for common problems and general section to see how complicated it is to root and what not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
As I said, don't have much free time lately ... So don't know IF I will root it at all ... Maybe a bit later, wanted to hear thoughts of the GNexus community first :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
this is a pretty good deal. its a much more powerful phone, it Should have Jellybean Fairly soon, build quality is really nice, and screen is amazing. the UI is a little "meh" but the bad part (launcher) can be covered up fairly easily. but you just have to ask yourself what is more important to you....quick updates with new features about 2 times a year, or powerful hardware that will probably not get past 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
I was rather waiting on a new Nexus device, or perhaps for the Phone X ... So I would switch my phone anyway in about a year or so ... And what's crossing my mind is the fact that I'd probably sell Optimus G for more cash then I would sell the GNexus in a period of 1 year ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
So you have time to read our comments but not to take less than a minute to look in the Optimus G section? Seems legit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Actually I did read about the Optimus G, not really much of a dev support there, no need to flame right away mate ...

What I'm looking here, are opinions weather some1 else would accept the same trade ... If yes, why - if not, why again? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
there is a reason why he makes such a offer.

im coming from a lg device and would not take that bait;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
Why is that if I may ask? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I don't think I'll ever go back to anything other than a nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
i think the older devices were pretty poor. but i really haven't heard anything bad about the Optimus G. the build quality, and screen are great.....the OS is "Meh" but how bad can ICS or JB really be on a device with a quad core processor and 2GB ram? probably not that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
I asked him pictures and it's on 4.1.1 JB! So I've got project butter :D

Thank you for answer but

Please I have a question :

I have this firmware ( I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX ) and I install it through Odin .

My question is what else I need from below to flash it :

1- ( RootBox-JB-i9100-V3.8 ) .

2- ( gapps-jb-20120726-signed ) .

3- ( XXLSJ-ROOT-CWM6 ) .

4- ( CWM-SuperSU-v0.97 ) .

5- ( TriangleAway-v1.50.apk ) .

6- ( Siyah-s2-v4.1.5 ) .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Do you have CWM or not (and I assume you already have root access..?)? If so, flash Rootbox and Gapps like the instructions say in the Rootbox thread.

If not, root your device, install CWM and flash Rootbox afterwards. There are plenty of guides for how to accomplish this;)

Edit: Siyah v4 won't work for JB. Make sure you flash the right version. Check the changelog on www.gokhanmoral.com.

So what i understand from your answer is , after i install firmware ( I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX ) .

by recovery i have to flash these respectively :

1- ( XXLSJ-ROOT-CWM6 ) .

2- ( RootBox-JB-i9100-V3.8 ) .

3- ( gapps-jb-20120726-signed ) .

That's all or i have to flash also

4- ( CWM-SuperSU-v0.97 ) .

And if i have to install one of the ( CWM ) which is better CWM6 or SuperSU-v0.97 .

I'm thanking you very much .

My XDA is not charging.

In fact, when I plug the

external power unit, or in the cradle the battery doesn't charge and the software doesn't detect anything and no orange light on the top.....

The charger has been tested and it's OK....

I tried soft reset...

What do you think about it?

Let me know...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guest:
I had this problem yesterday!

When I attached my GPS it was working correctly only it didn't charge.

When I put it in my cradle it was syncing with my PC correctly, but it didn't charge either. Even when I placed my charger direct on my XDA it still wouldn't charge.

I did a soft reset and still had no luck just like you. So then I made a backup to my SD card, did a hard reset and voila! My XDA is charging! So I put back my backup and my XDA was where it was 15 minutes ago, except that it is charging now correctly! :lol:

I hope this solves your problem! Good luck.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] francesco:

Can it happen again?

This happened to my XDA too, but i've done a hard reset and it still wont work :( Anyone have any ideas? I did that same thing as others have done, i plugged it into my mates in-car ipaq charger bcos they have the same connector. My XDA is on critical battery, cant do much with it :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cludwig:
FYI, I've had the opposite problem today... Phone always thought that it was charging. Even when disconnected from cradle / charger, the charge indicator light (both LEDs solid) would stay lit and Settings->System->Power indicated "Charging". After a while it became clear that it wasn't really charging itself byt drawing energy out of the air. Soft resets did not help. I backed up to SD, did a hard reset, and everything's fine now. I guess the charging system doesn't get "reset" when a soft reset happens, and so if something goes wrong there a hard reset is required.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zajDee:
Hello modders,

I am considering buying the Xperia Z because I really like the device and software.

However after my first hands-on experience, I have discovered that the c6603 model, sold by our carrier (T-Mobile CZ), seems to have LTE disabled. Although the service menu does show all the supported LTE bands, when I go to Settings-Mobile networks and try to change the enabled networks, only the following options are available:

- WCDMA only

- GSM only

- WCDMA/GSM mode

The question remains, how this is controlled and what can be done to enable the search and support for LTE networks.

Is this stored somewhere in some carrier settings file? Is it carrier specific, so that with some operators, this is enabled automatically, for others it's disabled? Can we change it somehow?

I am not feeling quite well about these options being disabled per-carrier.

Thanks.

I think flashing unbranded firmware will work for you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spida_singh:
I found in the UK, the option was missing on my UK Phones 4U firmware (350).

I thought it was some mods initially, but after applying the Greece FTF unbranded update (434), i got it back, even whilst running the same mods.

I flashed the UK 434 FTF update, and it's missing again, with the same mods.

These are only stock mods, status bar menu icons, reboot mod.

I will re flash the Greece Unbranded FTF and confirm if it's still missing, if it is not missing, for some reason, the UK unbranded FTF's (350 and 434) have it missing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justgotusedto1.1:
I flashed the .434 Nordic ftf and the LTE option is there. It wasn't on the original 3 rom.

I can't notice any difference at all that its a Nordic ftf and not a uk one, so I'll stick with this.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_j_88:
if LTE option is missing, it's only the option concealed but LTE is still there.

the culprit may be /vendor/overlay/com.android.phone-res.apk. try delete it after rooting.

otherwise, just ignore it and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter what mode and you can see LTE options there.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
This is controlled by your vendor's customisation of the ROM, I am guessing if they have removed LTE, then they do not support it. Therefore not sure why you would want to add it back, because you will not be able to use it. Because once your vendor supports LTE, I am certain they will send you out an update.

My phone has LTE, my provider has LTE. But I had no LTE on my phone, until I changed the plan I was on. And I couldn't force that on, because the vendor blocked that.

In addition as stated here any generic ROM should give you the phone/ROM in all it's glory, provided your vendor has LTE

Did you choose the correct setting in mobile network
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I bought a Phones4U unbranded XZ a few days ago, with a T-Mob contract, and it DOES have the option, it had on when I was on 350 and it still has it now on 434. Perhaps it's related to the APN settings that the carrier sends you OTA? Obviously T-Mob is part of EE which has 4G so that could have done something.

I don't understand why your XZ doesn't have the settings though.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreiundachzig:
Are you sure you have the Z supporting LTE? There is a LTE and non LTE version on sale.
