[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swetland:
As I mentioned in the other thread, you need a sparse filesystem image. Until the original factory images are made available online (it's in the works, but I don't have an exact date), somebody with a working device could create such an image by running (as root):

# make_ext4fs -l 512m -s /sdcard/system.img /system

This should create a flashable system.img (~145MB) on /sdcard (that you can then grab with adb pull or usb mass storage)

Fastboot sends the entire filesystem image to the device before it is then written to flash. The bootloader on Nexus S only supports images of ~300MB, but the system partition is 512MB. If you use a non-sparse image, it will fail to flash because it does not fit in ram.

My connection keeps dropping randomly on the NS. It will be green on 3G then outta no where be grey. Im talking about my house in normal spots that always get 3G on my N1.

Anyone else noticing this?

I also activate my Wi-Fi when the 3G sinal is gray and then the Wi-Fi goes straight to gray and then it takes couple minutes for it to settle back to green on both 3G and Wifi...

Bah whats going on -_-:confused::confused:
[Nexus S General] graemegb:
Grey isnt something bad per say... all it means is that your not connected to googles servers. as long as you still have a connection you are fine.
[Nexus S General] mortal300:
Not being connected to googles servers kinda defies the whole point (GTalk, Email, etc)....

IT drops very randomly for me sometimes when I just unlock the phone it drops..any one else?

[General Questions and Answers] dav3yb:
Ok, so lately my family has been considering switching over to Cell South (we live in mississippi) due to ATT being hardasses about switching my dads phone over to his business account.

Cell south has the Galaxy S phones available, and its currently the leading phone they offer that i'm interested in, followed next by HTC desire.

From everything that i've gathered, they are not updating their android phones to 2.2 until sometime early next year. the Froyo update is one of the main reasons ive been wanting to switch to something over my iphone. Wifi tethering being the leading reason. I know this is doable with apps and a rooted phone.

From what i've gathered, i might be able to update it, but i might have to manually input the carrier info into the phone? Is there a way to tell for sure if this will need to be done? If anyone else happens to be on Cellular Souths network who had delt with updating their phones, i would love some help/info, or if anyone can point me the way, i'd be quite grateful.

I've just been taking in so much info about these phones over the past few days its starting to get a bit fuzzy in areas.

Also, is Rooting these devices the same as any other, regardless of which network you are on?

And just another quick Galaxy question, im not sure im crazy about the "touch-wiz" interface samsung has, and i think i would much rather be using the standard android UI. Is this something you can do by default on the phones, or do you have to do some of the rooting/other customizing things on it?

Thanks to anyone with any amount of information. getting excited to get away from apple.
[General Questions and Answers] msstapleton:
You can change the input settings without rooting the phone. Z4mod on market is the best and easiest rooting method. Phidelt82 released a custom rom for the cs galaxy a few days ago. If you do get one and need any help pm me up.

[G1 General] VeryCoolAlan:
Please don't rape me for flaming on a phone that I have and wish to trade with my little sister!
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Why put software updates before hardware?

The G1 was never officially upgraded beyond 1.6, and the gingerbread image we have is ripped from the emulator, you can do that for any Android device under the sun, but no one has bothered to do it for the Galaxy S.

Either way, we shouldn't need to be cooking ROMs, updates should come out in a timely manner, neither device has delivered that.
[G1 General] dhkr123:
Please quit using the word "official". It seems to apply only to SERVICE PROVIDERS and not to any *truly* official source, like google.

In fact, google *DID* officially support Dream right up until 2.2, and only finally dropped support for Dream starting in 2.3... the OFFICIAL word is:
[G1 General] AdrianK:
I know. I think it was pretty obvious that by 'officially upgraded' (I meant updated, that's my bad), I was referring to updates being pushed out by carriers.

[Galaxy Tab General] Eltahur:
I dont have access to a linux box and I think in order to flash the latest JMA firmware from samfirmware i need to extract the rfs files in order to load them up via odin...if im completely off please disregard or point me to the correct path..

if any helpful souls out there that wouldnt mind extracting the files and uploading them here?

thanks

Im just a noob trying to flash the latest JMA firmware on my JM6 tab :o

thanks again..

EDIT - Thank you all for explaining it:

For anyone else presented with the same issue; use the zipped JMA file in odin in the PDA box and the pit file located at the bottom of the samfirm page when flashing the latest JMA firmware.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Extract them yourself by opening the file with 7Zip or WinZip. They're just archives.

Also - Should be in the General section.
[Galaxy Tab General] Eltahur:
thanks for the tips. I just installed both winzip and 7zip and could not extract the factory.rfs file with either.....

im guessing I have to extract the factory.rfs file and zip as a tar file for odin right?
[Galaxy Tab General] maniac3389:
The file you download is a zip file. Unzip it. There should be a tar file in there, tar is an archive format (similar to the way zip is, only it's uncompressed), so use 7zip or other unarchiving software to untar the file. There will be all of the JMA files including the RFS images contained in the tar file.
[Galaxy Tab General] Eltahur:
I see, so i downloaded a ziped file from samfirmware with the JMA firmware, unziped it down and got the pit file but there were no tar files in there for me to use in odin under the PDA box.

when flashing JMA what file do i put in PDA box? i pressume thats the only file i will use besides the pit file given that i dont want to replace the modem (phone) file...

I'm sorry if this is not making any sense
[Galaxy Tab General] maniac3389:
Go find the thread here that has the JMA firmware, that's where I got mine from :)
[Galaxy Tab General] RNGuy:
Use the JMA file here on XDA. Extra JMA.tar. Select that file ALONE as PDA. No repartition, PIT, Phone or CSC. It'll update PDA, Phone and CSC automatically.

If it doesn't reboot on its own after flash is complete, reboot into recovery.

You should be upgrading to JMA from JM6.

My friend tried to install something on his own and it went really ugly. His phone is stuck on Samsung screen and it's not doing anything. I'm trying to help him recover his phone using odin. His phone already has CWM recovery flashed but no nandroid(<~what an idiot!). I made sure all files on the picture are odin flashable.

1. Download mode to odin flash these files

PDA_JI6modem<~no pit file required, (stock kernel, T959UVJI6)<~ with pit file.

2. Manually open recovery, and I'm assuming it's going to be purple for factory recovery

-> push wipe data / factory reset.

[Nexus S General] napereira:
Hi everyone,

There seems to be an issue where the Nexus S is losing its "sync" with Google Services (3G and bars going from Green to Gray) 3G continues to work except that each time it goes from green to gray, it logs me out of Google Talk. Google Talk will NOT log back in until the icons turn green once again. It seems to completely ignore the fact that the phone still has a 3G connection. They must be green in order to log in. Has anyone else experienced this? As well as the fluctuation between green and gray? Thanks!

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Honeycomb-now-due-for-February-launch-as-Android-2.4_id15400
[myTouch 3G Slide General] PcFish:
Maybe Honeycomb was design specifically with tablets/higher res devices in mind?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I agree. Honeycomb was mentioned as being tablet centric. I don't think there will be much that will affect the phone side. I think that's the big reason they're making it a 2.4 release instead of 3.0. That and I think it is also to get more android tablets out before the iPad 2 is released. That's my theory.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] etu_aty:
I hope thats the reason... otherwise i will start hating my slide real bad xD
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Well look at it this way. T-Mo/HTC can Skip over Gingerbread and go to Honeycomb since the time difference between 2.3 and 2.4 are so short.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xenoletum:
If honeycomb is being designed with Tablets in mind, there'd be no reason to put it on a phone. Screen sizes won't match at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
True but it all depends on what features Google adds in addition to tablet support.

I see Honeycomb as adding Major Support for Tablets. If it was just an update only for Tablets they probably wouldn't given it a codename. Just left it Gingerbread but 2.4. Again just my theory.

i hope 2.4 does end up tablet centric, otherwise it 2.3 would be a waste if time.
