[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
So, the next BB customer gets a modified phone? That's nice.

To the OP:

If you have managed to irreversibly modify the phone then the decent thing to do would be to sell it on eBay as pre-rooted. You will probably make a profit.

I'm sorry if this comes across as a little harsh, but seriously, if you haven't decided if you're going to keep the phone, you shouldn't modify it. But now that you have, please do not dump your self-inflicted problems on somebody else.

Imagine how this looks from the point of view of law enforcement: You buy a phone, then you hack it for purposes unknown, and then you return it so that somebody else can buy it.
[Nexus S General] poulosjr:
They'll just reflash thru odin themselves but its a simple process to unroot they actually have unroot directions on http://www.theunlockr.com
[Nexus S General] velazcod:
I did

adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

Then adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery stockRecovery.img

fastboot oem lock

Then I went back in the phone, deleted data from internal memory, and then I did a factory reset, let it boot to make sure it worked and that's it...

Easy, now, they never checked anything, or even opened the phone to check if the battery, or headphones or anything wasn't missing, I could have installed Cupcake and they wouldn't even notice...
[Nexus S General] jroid:
You're right. I did remember it saying something about Max size in system on the bottom. Can't wait to get those factory img's. Will there be one .img available that bootloader will recognize and flash all of them? Used those on the G1 and nexus one, they're pretty sweet
[Nexus S General] jroid:
Its true. I've returned like 3 nexus S (this is my fourth) because of hardware defect touchscreen issues. All I did was erase root and flash stock boot.img but couldn't flash stock recovery so just wiped data ,OEM locked it and returned. They don't sell them back to customers btw, they send them back defective to Samsung.
[Nexus S General] GrandMstrBud:
Unable to remove su and superuser.apk even in adb
[Nexus S General] rickysquared:
Everyone has to learn somehow and everyone starts somewhere... Besides, this is good information for those people techie enough to take the plunge but find out it's not exactly what they had hoped for.
[Nexus S General] sshtac:
4 bad devices in less than a week? :confused:
[Nexus S General] jroid:
Yea well 3 unfortunately. 1 had dead pixel, other 2 had defective touchscreens. I have the 4th one now that fortunately has no issues so I'm happy. Only thing is the purplish tint on lowest brightness setting but I don't care. Ill fix that with a theme ;)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] brianbrain:
I'd think this would be incredibly simple, but I haven't tested myself. Given that when you unlock the boot loader it wipes your phone, perhaps just unlocking it again will do the same. Then go back and re-lock it and you should be set.

Possibility?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I don't think the /system partition is wiped, which is where the su binary goes (/system/bin). Not willing to check it out for myself at this time, though. ;)
[Nexus S General] ia1324:
I bought a Nexus S on craigslist but didn't realize it was rooted. I was trying to update to Android 2.3.1 and as you know it fails. So I guess I have to wait for the release of the sparse rom images?

Thx
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
No, you don't have to wait. I updated a rooted NS to 2.3.1 manually by flashing the update from Recovery (CWM). Wasn't difficult at all.

There's at least a few different threads about how to do it, a little search and pre-reading and you should have no problems, start with the FAQ stickied at the top of the NS forums...
[Nexus S General] ia1324:
Awesome, thanks!
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
anyone reach out to google about getting the stock ROM image?

would make everything infinitely easier
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Did Google ever do that for the Nexus 1? I never even considered going back to stock images after getting cyanogen on mine, so never paid attention.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
ya there is a thread in the dev section i beleive that has links to all the updates and such and even the full FRG91 image

it would great if we could get our image
[Nexus S General] ViLANDER:
Hm, I get this error when I'm trying to remove Superuser.apk: "rm failed for /system/app/Superuser.apk, Read-only file system".
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
After adb shell type :

remount

It'll remount the filesystem as read/write
[Nexus S General] ViLANDER:
Get this error then: "remount

remount: permission denied"

EDIT: Solved it using "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system" in Terminal Emulator application.
[Nexus S General] dman777:
I ordered my phone which should be here next week. Just so I understand...If I take a back up of the stock image...the image will be to large for the utility to use it for recovery?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I don't quite understand what you're asking but what you could do is this: Fastboot push CWM and do a NANDroid backup before doing anything else. That should preserve your stock build before doing anything to it.
[Nexus S General] moises1204:
how do i fastboot oem lock?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Get your phone into fastboot menu. Volume up + power on.

Run cmd and set cmd to the folder your adb/tools data is in. use the command you mentioned above.
[Nexus S General] derrick_:
Mobile does their own returns, so yes we are clever enough.

That said, I've gotten a few phones from our service

Center on rapid exchange that were rooted and had custom roms on them... ;)
[Nexus S General] :
Nvm, managed to resolve problem with NANDROID. Thank god :)
[Nexus S General] BlackHawkA4:
Did you try erasing those partitions with fastboot before flashing the new img?
[Touch2 Accessories] erik.aragorn:

I just went from Rogers 1.6 to O2 2.2 "froyo" today

1.) Follow instructions on this page perfectly, it will get you to O2 2.1

weethomas.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/updating-the-dell-streak-to-android-2-1/

2.) After getting your Dell Streak to O2 2.1, follow DELL-Amy B's link to O2 2.2 "froyo" official link from your Dell Streak. Then let it download to your Dell streak as OTA. Once its complete, run it and viola your good to go.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Has anyone had their phone randomly reboot? It's happened to me twice now (twice in 4 weeks). Both times the phone was in my coat pocket and I felt it vibrate (which surprised me since all vibration effects are off), and was even more surprised to see the MT4G splash screen (meaning it was rebooting). The phone is not rooted and is running the stock OTA ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Then your mostly like to have a defective device. Send In for a replacement.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Are you sure? I was hoping it wasn't since it does not happen frequently, which I would think it would if it was a real problem. I'd assumed it was just a software glitch (both times it's happened I've been in a building with weak signal). I'd really like to know for sure before sending it in, because that will most likely mean getting a re-manufactured unit. :(

EDIT: after thinking about it, I realized it happened before when receiving a text. The incoming message indicator briefly appeared, but before I could read it, the phone rebooted. I then texted the person who I assumed texted me, and indeed they had just texted me. That has only happened once (this was several weeks ago).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamalou:
Happens to me about twice a week as well. I just live with it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jota164:
Was just browsing around to see if anyone else had this problem as I did. First time was when I just got it. The second time (same week) it rebooted when I was getting ready to text someone back who just text me.

Phones getting replaced because a dead pixel. Hopefully that one has a good screen like this one and no problems. :cool:
[HD7 General] ukbatman:
Just wondering, has anyone found a way to make the HD7 less like an IPHONE and more tech user friendly.

seriously hate the new software, failing that anyone working on getting the Desire HD rom to work on a HD7 I would love to hear any feedback

cheers:)
[HD7 General] bananana:
I am so regret to bought a HD7.

I will return it to the shop to take some lost.

What a piece of **** that I can't use my legacy software for it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] greengoldmello:
I just received a replacement phone from a warranty issue, and upon inspecting the phone, I see "with htc sense" and I lol'd. I was just wondering if anyone else saw this on their phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] HootZager:
Yeah, mine says that as well. It doesn't really have much point, except to advertise that the phone has Sense and to distinguish it from the other versions of the Desire Z (not sure about the Vision, but the G2 doesn't have Sense on it).

Mine also says "with Google" on the battery cover, just in case I wasn't sure who made Android I guess....
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Yeah G2's say "with google" and DZ's say "with HTC sense"... really only helpful to distinguish between the two but who really cares about sense on the back of their phone? :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
"Vision" is just the codename for the phone. All models of the Desire Z and G2 are "Vision" (e.g. the word is in the filenames for RUUs for both phones).
[G2 and Desire Z General] greengoldmello:
May it doesn't matter, just thought that it was an interesting mistake
[G2 and Desire Z General] helloelan:
Sounds pretty awesome and weird.

Wait, so you're telling me you started off with (what I assume to be) a T-Mobile G2 and they gave you a HTC Sense-less "Desire Z" in return?

Does the front of your device say "HTC" or "T-Mobile" on it? Does the battery door have a "G2" engraved or is it blank? Maybe you could take a couple pictures? I'm really curious about this. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Replacements don't come with battery covers. What I wanna know is if does it have sense?
[G2 and Desire Z General] helloelan:
I don't think it does, as he/she mentioned it being "an interesting mistake", implying it's a Sense-less device. Guess we'll have to wait for a reply.

I'm extremely curious about this peculiarity, as I am trying to remove all non-HTC branding from the device in an attempt to transform my "T-Mobile G2"-branded Vision into a more HTC-esque Desire Z. Except without Sense... simply because I don't like it.

I'd like to get a screen that says "HTC" and not "T-Mobile". I already ordered the appropriate battery cover.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yeah, this thread is pretty fail, since the OP didn't mention what version of the Vision they had.
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Ok so here is the thing I just lost my HD2 and its gone for good. Now which device should I buy? Name me few.

BTW should I have the IMEI blacklisted? I know some prick found it and won't give it back, even left msg and sms saying ill pay more than the phone worth as I have Biz phone numbers. Also had this phone months b4 it came out in USA :(
[HD2 General] atomical007:
Samsung Galaxy S or Nexus S.:D
[HD2 General] H3ALY:
YES !! Get it blacklisted why give someone else the pleasure of the device? Especially someone who has had to essentially steal it to own one.
[HD2 General] hyellow:
Eh...

get another hd2? I did.
[HD2 General] umiss:
If you were running android on a daily basis, just get a desire hd! Way faster and better touch screen is enough.

If you wanna stick to winmo I guess another HD2 is the only option for you.
[HD2 General] H3ALY:
I admit the Desire HD is a bloody good device and a friend of mine has one but i wouldn't claim it was that much faster and the screens are not all that different. The desire does feel alittle bit better in the hand though in my opinion.
[HD2 General] crossmission:
Yeap, desire HD and moto droid x (cdma though) for android

HD2 for winmo

don't go for the Samsung I9000, it'll get really frustrating trying to find a decent lagfix which you'll have to "root" the phone b4 and it's battery is worse than HD2 running android off of sdcard (mainly due to the s-amoled screen)(oh, and it feels like holding a toy phone which is great for weight and shock resistance but not thtat great if ou like to feel your device, like me!!)

As for the Desire HD I think it doesn't have a scratch-proof screen like the HD2 (which is not that... you know... good for you)
[HD2 General] umiss:
Yeah it's not like getting into heaven, but the HTC Sense is as fast as launcher pro, which is fast.

What I meant with the screen wasn't the screen quality, but the touch.

The HD2 is very bad att multitouch even with two fingers (!!!, and this is the reason I changed my HD2 to desire HD), while the desire HD can handle two without problems, even three and to some extent, four fingers (pretty much how HD2 handles two fingers, which it does very badly).

But the screen itself is just LCD, no real difference there.
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Well believe it or not I had Desire HD in mind but ATM as they have Desire Z, which would be better? Is Desire HD even 4G (HSPA+) capable? or is only in G2. I also had my eye on Droid X but as it being CMDA I didn't want it but the spec is +1 on HD2 on Desire HD, or should I just swtich boat to Sprint and get the Evo 4G. Help me deside guys :O Help me decide guys :O as I am basically handicapped without my phone. Who would have thought how dependent we became on it. I know I can always count on support on XDA members.

R.I.P. HD2, the ****er who got this is super happy ATM as I tweaked this HD2 to the max.

Update:

-------

So WTF is the point of getting Desire HD in USA when you can't even get 3G as its dualband, more phone guys :( Desire HD is out as it did look better than HD2.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
You should have installed some security so that you could remotely backup/wipe/disable the phone.

You could have also set it to automatically wipe/disable phone upon changing sim card, its very unlikely that somebody bad enough to steal your phone will have enough knowledge to hard reset, plus you could get IMEI blacklisted as you say.

You could have even tracked teh phone via GPS ;)

PS. Sorry to rub it in :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Ya I know the thing is I just flashed my rom 2days ago and most thing is not installed. ATM I don't care about the phone as I can buy it but I have few numbers which is lost which is very important and I didn't have time to back it up. But the data on the phone itself is backed up 3x.

Within 2hours we called the phone like over 200+ times from 8-9 numbers along with text messages. So the prick who did find it later shut it off and swap the sim, I hope karma gets that mofo and someone break his ****ing legs lol or get run over by a bus. I even offer to pay for the phone and for them to get here and even give extra. But the prick chose to get his early XMas gift.

I was watching my text message and recent calls waiting for the mofo to call or send msg to somewhere so I get the number and contact it, but the prick must have fall asleep as it happend like after 2am. BTW I am aware of the GPS tracking, huh made no sense when I always had it on I didn't lose it lol when I lost it I didn't have it installed.

ATM yall help me get a new device, money is no issue as I am welling to pay $750-800 for phone which has to be revolutionary, as for HD2 I got it months before it came out in USA. So don't worry if the phone is not in market yet I have connections and my ways of getting it :P

Desire HD < no 3G in USA

Nexus S < screen to small, wtf 5mp cam? 15gb storage?

All the TMoUSA lineup for the current top device has very useless spec's and the phone looks fruity. ATM I don't want to pay money for HD2 as I can buy better phone with better spec. But man ill miss HD2, this phone changed my outlook.
[HD2 General] DJW6927:
Oh dude thats a sorry tale. Could cry for you.

Oh yeah I'd want to track the phone so I could have one of them "discussions" with the MF thats got it.

I think you're double unlucky - I honestly think most people these days try to return phones. My wifes a liability and lost hers twice for very nice local folk to ring up the last number in the history. Everyones got a phone that wants one - you've got to be picking peanuts out of poo for a living if a phone you've found has any value to you. Console yourself with what a peasant the twat involved must be.

Saddest thing is that 16 months on from launch there's nothing better out there since the HD2 runs it all. Aside from a certain very new OS that you wouldn't want to migrate to yet. But that it will soon probably.

You just can't beat the versatility of the HD2 - probably never be another phone like it.

RIP your phone and hopefully the MF too.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
if i was you ! i would effin try my best to catch d prick n get the phone back...:mad:...cos i have done it in d past...too....
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Believe it or not I have actually returned an Evo 4-5months and HD2 just 2months ago. Also tons of cheap phones so idk wtf karma is punishing me for. This is what happened me and my girl was at the bar we were little drunk so we took taxi and when I paid the guy thats when I left it on the seat. Soon as I got out of it I realized I left it and I waved my hands but he didn't see it, now I could have ran but my girl was other side of the street and the ****ing bus came, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan and then I had to make a choice lol so I ran to my GF. This is bunch of bull crap so within 1min she called the taxi operator and the dude from Lost/Found send message to the cab driver by then he reported he picked someone else which is near HardRock casino and when he checked it nothing was in it. So I guess some ****er lost money and saw that sign from god lol.

Ya I also agree with you that HD2 is by far superior in the lineup even today and 6.5.X you can't even beat with my tweaks. The ****er will show it to his friends and kids would be like "OMG" why don't my HD2 act this way. The stupid ****er will see it as GOD wanted to have this phone lol. This is all BS now I am at my recent call logs writing down phone numbers for incoming/outgoing.
[HD2 General] DJW6927:
On this occasion its a sad indictment of human nature - very often like we've said its a refresher that most people are actually honest.

Don't lose the faith over it buddy.

I agree 100% too that WM6.5 with mods dumps all over Android - you're talking proper sense. It won't even landscape properly in the car for gods sake.
[HD2 General] jirka607:
well if is the police same as in europe tell them taht you lost your phone and the guy who found dont want to give it back then they ask for your IMEI and they will track down the phone and push him to give it back to you....thats how it works in Europe.... you can try it i think they will find it
[HD2 General] Galactus:
Ahh i feel for you bro, I was so angry when I lost my HD2 at work, luckily a mate found it. Somehow it had fallen into my sainsburys bag which had rubbish in it, which i then threw in the bin lol. when i got the phone back it had coke in it. Still works like a charm.

Off Topic: I happened to drop my phone in the bath (Yep fully submerged, with soap) touch screen didnt work for FOUR months, then one day I turned it on because of a mate and VOILA, phones works as normal and the speaker is LOUDER lmao. This phone must have 9 lives in it.
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Well the GSM carrier in USA don't blacklist IMEI but they can still see it when call is made as its registered. ATM I am shopping for new phone and Desire HD has no 3G, wonder if it does HSPA+ which I doubt. Don't want to go with Evo 4G as I don't like CDMA based and has to go with GSM based phones. Most new phones I see has ****ty spec's.

What about Dell Streak 2?
[HD2 General] jirka607:
Try the police as i told you they will track down the phone and push the guy to give it back to you...
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Dude I know you are trying to help but I am in USA and in here they don't care. I mean what I don't understand is this phone is 1 year old and since then I still don't see one decent phone.

HTC Desire HD < EU based.

HTC HD7 < Good luck with that ill pick HD2 over it any day.

Nexus S < Are you kidding me what type of crap spec is that?

Driod X < New carrier and CDMA

Evo G4 < New carrier and CDMA

HD2 < Don't want it again

Vibrant < Will pick HD2 over it any day

GSM is lacking phones ATM even 1 year after WTF.
[HD2 General] jirka607:
well so Dell Streak is the right choice
[HD2 General] HyperNode:
Well I had Dell Streak 2 in mind, how much is new HD2 atm in USA? I mean WTF Tmobile still selling them for $450.

Only accessory for sale at my local AT&T store was the different colored battery covers... (and the USB cable)

Searching around on the internet, I found a standalone battery charger (takes the micro USB input) allowing for a two battery swap system. Unfortunately this seems like it might be a necessity for my particular phone/usage mode. I get barely 12 hours of use on a full charge.
