Well, I finally decided to flash my phone with the pre rooted ROM version from this post and works great. Keep the great work you're doing!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FelipeRRM:
While trying the first method it failed, is started to show something and after a few seconds it stopped, and now I'm trying to enter the sd card to do the second method, but I'm stuck at SE's logo...

Delete it and reinstall it,i hope this will not happen again

Tried it now and the baseband is still 2.0.46, not 49. It is apparently necessary to flash to get 2.0.49.

[Q] Help! online ordering from Best Buy

I just paid for the Nexus S through Best buy, and now I am afraid that I made a mistake. When I added the phone to my shpping cart, it asked me i I am a T-Mobile contract holder (Which i am not) and I said that I do, which gave me the option to buy the phone at the full price of $529. I am afraid that I am going to receive a LOCKED Nexus S with T-Mobile affiliations and that it's maybe not Sim Free.

Is this the case? If so, how do I order it SIM Free and UNLOCKED Online? The only options on the website was to buy it either for $199 with a T-Mobile contract or to buy it for $529, but again, I am not sure if this is fully unlocked or it is still with a T-Mobile Simcard.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
AFAIK they are all unlocked - even the phones sold with T-Mo service.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonatansofer:
Will the phone say T-mobile on the phone or connected with it in any way ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
nope, box has a tmobile sim in it but noowhere on the phone does it say tmobile
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp888:
People at best buy online support are complete fools, they keep saying it's locked, even though twitter and their FAQ say its unlocked.

The whole point of Pure Google phone is that it's unlocked and unbranded
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
All Nexus S phones are unlocked by default with no carrier branding on the phone or box.

Pricing just varies based on if you want a contract or buying outright.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Well, not everybody have the intelligence required to flip burgers.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bicster_:
Best Buy couldn't even get the ordering live until about 10 minutes late ...

Then I tried to order 3 times; each time I got a vague credit verification error that made no sense.

Plus, they tried to switch me from my $10/mo unlimited 3G data to $10/mo 4G data with a 200MB cap... no thanks.

I was able to order by phone, but the process took over an hour. At least I got to keep my data plan.

Total cost was $250 after taxes and activation fees.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpooz:
hi folks, is there anyone from from non-US/UK manage to buy a Nexus S>? If yes can let me know how? Especial from Malaysia. Thanks..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i had help from a fellow XDA member in the USA to help me buy one

as all the BestBuy stores were out of stock on the first 2 hours of the release date

make sure your phone operator works with 900/1700/2100 data
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I bought two on launch day. The second is unopened. PM me if you want to buy it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 94wolfpack:
Wow!

I have a G1 and tried to upgrade to the nexus s with my existing 24.99 unlimited G1 data plan. The rep in the store said she was pretty sure I had to upgrade my plan. She said she would try it without upgrading my plan and got almost through the entire process but her system would only allow for the full price option for the phone.

Did you do anything special to get them to let it work with your existing plan??

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Has anyone actually bought this online?

I'm having problems getting Best Buy's site to let me buy this thing. It keeps getting hung up when I select a plan - just keeps asking me if I currently have T-Mo service and won't let me actually select an answer...

Also, since I'm a new customer, would I be able to sign up for T-Mo's promotional plan (1500+unlimited for 79.99)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marmle:
You have to go to the store for starting a new plan.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpooz:
If just happened that you have an extra unit or you're willing to help me, please PM me. THanks; )
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
That's ridiculous - there's not a single Best Buy here in TN that will sell it with a plan. I suppose none do T-Mo. And my local store says $529.99 - available at Bestbuy.com for $199.99.

Whose idea was this Best Buy debacle?

where to buy nexus s?

so i have to go through best buy to get the nexus s? my wife and i are switching to t-mobile next month but i do not see the phone on their website?

so basically i have to sign up for tmobile and get the phones at best buy? do i have any other options? i think it's stupid tmobile doesn't carry these in store or online. there are web specials id like to take advantage of. **** i may have to go with a g2 instead. :(

Bestbuy online, dude.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Go to a BestBuy that sells T-Mobile service and you can switch/port to T-Mobile and get a Nexus S.

Or, go to bestbuy.com and switch/port that way to buy the Nexus S.

-Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
I made frantic attempts to get the NS on D-Day (16/12/). Unfortunately, I'm neither in or from the US. The BB site insisted that I enter a local phone number and I was stuck :(

I have read reports of how orders were canceled as the Credit Card and/or address was not from the US.

Now, a friend has offered to help :) Said he would get it for me, check it out for known problems and then ship it. I really do not want to trouble him by shelling out cash in advance and was thinking of various options.

As I have his address, would it be possible for me to modify my BB address to his (for shipping) and then I use my paypal account at the checkout? That way BB would never know that my credit card is from outside the country and I would be leaving no trace of my origin anywhere on the BB site.

This is my second last attempt to get this phone and any help/ suggestions/ input would be really appreciated :) If you'll guys think that this may not work, I'll have to the last option of asking my friend to pay now and I transfer the money after he ships it to me ... that way I can even pay for the shipping in one transfer.

Thanks again and ... cheers :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Can someone please help? Or should it be asked in the "General" Section?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabilfhm:
If i'm not mistaken Best buy has the option of 'international Buyers' whereby even if you don't live in the US you can purchase the phone. You must, however, ship it to a US address. Shouldn't be a problem for you since your friend is there.

I'm planning on doing the same thing myself. Currently living in malaysia and craving the phone xD
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Why don't you just paypal your buddy before he goes to the store and then paypal him the shipping cost after he finds how much it costs?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Hey, thank you nabilfhm and irishrally :)

@ irishrally, I have never used a paypal account and hence did not know that I could use paypal to my friend ... was always under the impression we had to do some kind of click on a paypal link on some website and go that route :o

Really appreciate that info ... I can now do as suggested :)

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] camalot:
I have not seen this mentioned over here in the Vibrant sections at all, and sort of wonder why...

I found this thread by darkbyt3 while searching for cifs support a while back. I have tried the froyo module originally designed for the I9000 and it does work on the Vibrant. I am using the Stock + Voodoo kernel with Nero 3. You can use these modules (needs cifs.ko and slow-work.ko) along with Cifs Manager to mount your network shares.

Update:

Mount Manager (shameless plug) has been released and supports the loading of multiple modules. See the link for full details.

Astro file manager can sort of do this without the cifs module using its SMB plugin, but I've never been able to open anything directly using the Astro SMB. I have to copy it to the device first. With CIFS, I can open anything just like it is already on the device.

To use these modules you have to load them. I copied them to a folder called modules on my internal sdcard.

$ su
# insmod /sdcard/modules/slow-work.ko
# insmod /sdcard/modules/cifs.ko

You can check that the cifs module is loaded

# lsmod | grep cifs
cifs 257211 0 - Live 0xbf29c000
slow_work 12113 1 cifs,[permanent], Live 0cbf0bd000 (P)

Then you create the mount (or you can use cifs manager)

# busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.222.1/shares /sdcard/network/shares

The only thing I haven't figured out yet (haven't really looked either) is how/where to put the insmod commands so these modules automatically load when the device boots. Since slow-work.ko has to be loaded before cifs.ko, cifs manager cannot be used to load the cifs module since it only supports loading one module.
[Vibrant Android Development] lqaddict:
Thanks a ton for the write up :)

As for the insmod commands on startup, I wonder if you can put them into init.rc, but I guess you need to create an update.zip like file to mod it and flash it via recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Nero V3 will run /system/bin/userinit.sh on startup... you could put the commands in there.
[Vibrant Android Development] kslays:
Will this also work for NFS? I followed the steps in the OP, and the cifs modules are live, but I still cannot mount. I created the mount target directory as root with permissions set to all (777). It works on my computer. I tried typing these command into better term emulator:

busybox mount -t nfs 192.168.2.1:/my/mount /mnt/network

busybox mount -t nfs 192.168.2.1/my/mount /mnt/network

mount -t nfs 192.168.2.1:/my/mount /mnt/network

mount 192.168.2.1/my/mount /mnt/network

but I got this error for all of them:

mount: mounting 192.168.2.1:/my/mount on /mnt/network failed: No such[the

terminal gets cut off and I can't read the rest!]

CifsManager has this error:

mount:Invalid Argument

I'm running Axura 2.1 which uses JK6. Does the cifs.ko need to be compiled for specific kernels?
[Vibrant Android Development] camalot:
AFAIK nfs is different then cifs. I don't think cifs will work with nfs shares.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Couldn't you also add them to init.d if you are running nero or using voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
one more step in making the Mobile Phone a True Computer :cool::cool:

Thanks for posting this CIFS Support, one more step in making the Mobile Phone a True Computer :cool::cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
I got it to work by adding it to init.d but I had to move the two .ko files to a folder I created in /data. I think it is because the sdcard doesn't mount until late in the boot process. Other than that it works perfectly and I can read my NAS.
[Vibrant Android Development] hololight:
What is the slow work module for?
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
in which folder and which file?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Doesn't matter, just point point the insmod cmd to where it is located in /data ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Sym_Link:
I just created a folder name CIFs in /data and put the two .ko files in it. Then in init.d I created a file that looked like :

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /data/CIFs/slow-work.ko

insmod /data/CIFs/cifs.ko

But, just as dasunsrule32 stated, it doesn't matter what folder you use as long as your file points to the one you are using.
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Awesomeness. Worked out great. Just as grendel905 stated I threw the .ko modules into a folder in /data and threw a script into init.d. They now load at boot. Just an fyi for ppl this method will not work if you are using a stock 2.2 kernel. You either need to be using voodoo or one of TW's kernels with the modified init.rc.
[Vibrant Android Development] camalot:
I've released Mount Manager on the android market that will allow you to load these modules on your device automatically (without having to edit any files). It can load them when the device boots, or when the app starts.

It also can manage your cifs/nfs shares too. Allowing you to mount/unmount them. You can also set them to auto mount when the device boots, when the application starts or when connected to wifi.

For more info you can see the thread for the app where I will maintain the changelog.
[Vibrant Android Development] Darksurf:
You have just become a friend to vibrant users everywhere! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] hololight:
So here's the problem im having. Both modules load fine and I've confirmed they are loaded, but when I try and mount anything, mount says cifs is an invalid argument for type.
[Vibrant Android Development] camalot:
What are you using to mount? An app or from the shell?

Sent via my Samsung Galaxy S
[Vibrant Android Development] hololight:
First I tried mount manager and when that failed I did it myself from a term.

Double checked that slow-work and cifs modules are loaded...

Here is terminal...

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.12/d /mnt/sdcard/sd

mount: Invalid argument

#

Doesn't matter where I try to mount to...

Chris

Nm, wasn't paying attention to case for my share name.. works. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] camalot:
you should be able to do this and not have to worry about the case of your shares:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.12/d /mnt/sdcard/sd -o nocase
[Vibrant Android Development] unkle_george:
nfs.ko

has anyone been able to create a nfs.ko module?

Thanks to the directions here I was able to create a loading cifs.ko for the Firebird SGS / GT-I9010 Kernel, but my nfs.ko built with the same process wouldn't load.
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
I can't get into recovery. Long story short I went from TnT to ????. I was able to figure out my back back :eek: but now I get FCs all the time. I read somewhere that I need to wipe my data but I can't get into recovery.

This is what I have done so far:

1. Rooted again with Z4Root (it was gone after putting back the TnT)

2. I followed this thread to get Clockwork again (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245). After unzipping the file I made sure it was in the right place.

3. I reinstalled ROM Manager - I still can access the app but nothing happens when I select anything from the menu (i.e. Reboot into Recovery or Restore Backup) :(

4. Because ROM Manager is not working I did the power and Volume + and I see the message: Detect a recovery key pressed but I get all the way up and not into the recovery menu.

I have fixed the market and everything but I get FCs for almost every app that I try to use.

There are many custom ROMs available here with pics showing how they look on your Phone. There are also many themes in the themes & apps forum. check them out.

Heya,

Hence I haven't found anything about this topic (or I'm just dumb), I wanted to post this question.

- Have all my Apps and their data

- Have all the settings

in one ROM I could flash onto my device in the case that I "accidentaly" brick my phone.

Is there a way to do that?

If you are talking about xRecovery, all you have to do it make 1 backup, this backs up ALL data/apps/settings (also stuff like call logs, SMS, accounts, boot-animation, themes).

I use restore my main backup multiple times a day when I'm working with ROMs.

If you are talking about a backup that can be restored with X10Flash, well I would also like to know the answer to that.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It seems you have full radio S-OFF via gfree, because of that blinkied red LED mode. That's a special mode where you're talking to the OSBL, I believe, and in theory there are some recovery options there. However, I have no idea whether it's possible to write a new bootloader from that point or not. So far, to my knowledge, nothing has been posted up here about what you can do in that mode (which might be because no-one has figured it out yet ? I don't know).

Without any extra input on that, your phone is bricked.

I have tried turning the phone off and on but its still the same.

Anyone got a fix for this
[G2 and Desire Z General] dontbes:
I personally would of loved if htc had raised the trackpad a bit. Its useable but it feels like Its carved into the phone and doesn't always move when I touch it. Adding gorilla glass would of been great as well and haveing the phone in white(faveorite color) would of made this phone perfect for me! How about you?

[G2 and Desire Z General] catachresistant:
I second the five-row QWERTY...

A hinge that "locks" into place.

Better camera, especially in low-light situations.

Four inch screen.

Thinner is always better!

[G2 and Desire Z General] Kebab3000:
Tri-colour notification LED

A proper dock that rotates the screen and puts it in desk-clock mode

AMOLED screen
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
Definitely a dev-accessible multi-color trackpad/ball light would be a big improvement, I miss that from my Nexus One.

I really think that's all I would have changed. Maybe a dual-LED flash instead of just a single, but aside from that, I'm pretty satisfied. I'd have preferred a black color scheme, too, instead of the multi-toned grey, but whatever.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fablife:
My dream DZ would be what I have now - plus....

- tighter hinge

- 4 inch super ahmoled screen

- Thinner

- relocate the micro usb port to the bottom of the device

Not to hijack the thread - but for those of you who want a larger screen - would you consider the Desire HD? Im in Canada and its not available yet - but could be in the near future.
