i posted in my cwm thread, just need someone who has a booting NG4 updated device to flash this zip http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Unbrick-Creator.zip

it will create teh files needed on their sdcard, zip them up so its 25% of their original size and then upload it. once i have that file off a NG4 device i can make an unbrick image to uise with sdcard booting. since no one bothers to read posts and instead skips over reading them to post questions on when are things coming, eta?, how long until we have cm/overclock/ android 6.2.3 no one is responding to your stuff.

Zohaer, I've been following the craziness around the 8525 release pretty closely (borderline obsessively :) and Sleuth is pretty much right on the money. As of right now, 11/1/2006, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the entire Cingular organization who can give a firm release date on the 8525. Seems they still have some software issued to work out, and until they are resolved, they can't rightfully give any type of release date.

Team UB Style CM11 Style Rom. GPS fixed but camera still broke. http://www.abun880007.co.uk/ . If you have problems loading certain apps go to the app store and download an app called SELinux Mode Changer and that fixed it for me. Enjoy!!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] -PiLoT-:

[Galaxy S 5 General] github:
Yes it's a legit compile. It was posted several times in the now closed CM11 thread. I fear this thread will end up the same way. Honestly it doesn't even appear that OP is a developer and is just posting a link.

GPS working: Did you confirm this with a GPS lock and a GPS app? Position can be found without GPS via WiFi and basic triangulation. Again this was an issue that people kept reporting as being fixed when it actually wasn't.

edit: Seems someone else beat me to it: "This post (54138134) has already been reported. Our moderation team is evaluating these report(s) and will be making a decision shortly."

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmetdagtas:
Hello guys. I've got a GSM version of GNex. I was using SlimKat 4.4.2 build 5 and I just wanted to get back on stock rom(Yakyu). So I downloaded my factory rom. I watched this video actually. youtube.com/watch?v=uO7HkTrRzwM

By the way, There is no rom installed in my phone. In fact, I erased all the data where I can see when i plug it in my computer.

Then I came to CWM, I wiped all partition, cache, dalvik all the stuff. Now My phone cannot boot. It stays on the boot screen when I try to boot my phone. Is my phone a brick now?

I cannot see my phone in My Computer when I plug it in. So I can't copy new image files on my phone. I am being searching for 4 hours and still couldn't get any further. I don't thinks there's a hardware problem.

I don't have much experience. Can you help me to get rid of this situation? Thanks. Sorry for bad English.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
Try sideload or galaxy nexus toolkit.

Turkish: Hocam galaxy nexus toolkit diye bir uygulama var. Çok eskiden forumda vardı da linkler ölü olabilir. Onunla orjinal romu kurabilirsin. Her şeyi adım adım o yaptırıyor zaten. Bulamazsan eğer, adb sideload ile kolayca indirdiğin romu kurabilirsin. İçinde rom yokken sd karta ulaşamazsın malesef. Ha adb push ile koyabilirsin romu telefonuna ama sideload daha kolay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmetdagtas:
Usta Allah razı olsun senden, sideload ile çözdüm işi. Biraz uğraştırdı ama olsun. Youtube'dan da bir video buldum, sideload olayını anlatan, 10 numara 5 yıldız oldu. Gnex toolkit için Unified Android Toolkit adı altında bir program indirdim fakat pro mro bişiyler dedi, kullanamadım onu.

Şimdi boş bir vaktimde tekrar stok roma dönmeye çalışacağım. İşler ters giderse yapacağım şeyi biliyorum en azından. Çok sağol.

Guys, I figured out how I am gonna get my phone back working. It's secret is CWM's sideload. First, you need Android SDK. Download it and unpack it on a directory. It doesn't matter where. After that, you should put the custom rom which you're gonna install on your phone into the \sdk\platform-tools in Android SDK. By the way, you should install some of add-ons of the SDK. I recommend you download everything except Android APIs on the manager.

After that, go to the platform-tools directory. While pressing shift button, you should right click on anywhere empty in file explorer. And you should see something like open command prompt here. I am not sure about what it says because I'm using another language of Windows.

When you open command prompt, you should get to recovery mod on your phone. When you get there, go to install zip from sideload option. During this operation, your smartphone has to be connected with your PC. If your pc doesn't recognizes your phone, I recommend you download and install ADB driver. I would have been given a link but I'm just a junior member. Administrator doesn't allow me to give links, so you can Google ADB driver. When you made it, just type this on your command prompt.

adb sideload your_rom_name.zip

After that, don't panic. You should wait 1-4 minutes for results. If you see some number in the end of operation, it means it is successful.

All of that worked on my GNex. I hope the same for you.

I'm managing my wife's phone for her (and often looking at it longingly). I was an HTC Evo 3d user before it took a dump a few months ago and at that point I went over to the dark side (Samsung). Happy to be staying in the HTC loop vicariously through my wife's phone.

She's s-off and on a sense rom right now but I'd like to get her on cm11. Unfortunately, texts do not work for her using the official release. Anyone else on cm11? Anyone else experiencing this issue w/cm11?

Either way, I figured it would be useful to have a thread to discuss cm for the m8.
