[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
It's not a root thing, it's a pre-release thing.

I would try flashing it via CWM with verification turned off personally, should skip that check then.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
I got a bnib phone with a Dec 18 build date that came with the test signed release. The Ota would not flash as a result. I had a nandroid from a release grh55 that I flashed over it and it then received the OTA and flashed no problem. It seems that there are definitely some devices other than the one I got being sent out with what appears to not be the final release.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
This won't work. The update script will complain because the build fingerprint isn't grh55 (I tried that with my test keys phone). You could unlock, flash the su binary, edit build.prop and try it then.
[Nexus S General] SpookyTunes:
Samsung site: (Manufactured: 12/18/2010)

Just took the phone back to BestBuy and did an exchange.

This one had

Build number: GRH55

I got the 2.3.1 update less than 5 minutes after I powered it on.

Build number: GRH78

Glad I took it back. This one with 2.3.1 resolved most of the issues I had.

Thanks for the help ;-)

[Nexus S General] ataozcelik:
Ok now I'm having the same problem as my stupid Nexus has that debug OS in it. Since the phone shipped to Turkey, I have no chance to replace it. My previous Nexus One had also problems, so this is the last time I'm buying a Google Phone.

Anyway, can you help me what to do? Should I root the phone?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
You should install ClockworkMod recovery, and restore this NANDroid backup to get back on track.
[Nexus S General] ataozcelik:
Which means I have to root right?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Technically no, unlocking the bootloader doesn't automatically root the phone.
[Nexus S General] ataozcelik:
Can I install Clockwork recovery without rooting the phone?

Hey

Im just looking to see if any one know a good leather pouch for my I900

And when I say pouch I mean a case that the phone slips into and I can get out without having to undo something

Just like the cases that come worth blackberry s

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Brownstone:
I treated myself to this one just before Christmas. I love it. Phone fits nice and snuggly, and it comes out when you pull the strap. Doesn't add much 'pocket bulge' either, and it's £3 cheaper now.

I like the vintage leather look but I had my reservations about the metal logo tag. It's really grown on me and I love it. Hope that helps.

The neoprene cases from Bugatti are good. I got me one at the vodafone store around the corner. Fits perfect and you can easy slide the galaxy in and out all day long. Cost 15.99 $. The good thing about.neoprene is that you can easily wash it (I'm not sure but is it right that you shouldn't wash leather cases?)

[Focus General] xThe Enforcer:
I ordered the Samsung Focus with Amazon Wireless for one penny and a two year contract with AT&T! Couldn't be any happier with that.

Anyway, I ordered a case:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00495YF8A/ref=oss_product

And a screen protector (I know it's tough to scratch but eh, why not. Lol)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F8C1GK/ref=oss_product

So I've been thinking about how much memory is on the phone. 8GB is nice but I will want to put a few of my 720P movies onto the Focus. I figured I could get 8B Micro SDHC (Class 10) and it would make it, 16GB. That's pretty decent, right? I think it will hold me over... Lol.

I did some research and I get the higher the class, the higher the write speeds. Right?

Well, what do ya'll think of this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220493

Thanks in advance everyone!!!
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
8gb is good enough for me....for now! Ill be buying a 16gb card soon enough tho because everytime you change the sd card you have to do a full reset on your phone, so id rather just do it now and get it all over with. So, what im trying to tell you is just get yourself a 16gb card if you going to be adding 720p movies...that way you wont really need to worry about changing the card later. As for the class...class 10 is unnecessary....class 2 has been proven to be VERY sufficient in the focus...even class 4. I had a class 6 and now I have a class 2 and there is NO difference in performance on my focus. Anyways, as for sd cards, be careful because some aren't working properly....I would say your safest bet is buying Sandisk...since thats what Samsung is using in the focus for memory right now.

Hope this helps!
[Focus General] xThe Enforcer:
Well, if I put a 720P movie on there, I'll just delete it once I'm finished watching it. Not going to have more than a few gigs of music too. So 8GB is good for me.

Obviously once you put a movie on there you can delete it and get your memory back, correct?

Sounds nooby but just double checkin... Lol.

The higher the class the faster it gets on the card, right?
[Focus General] trips52:
sd card

i got a sandisk 16g class 4 from radio shack cost about $34, had it in since two weeks before christmas.... loaded it almost full, empted most of it out loaded and unloaded stuff, havn't had any problems so far....... been running strong and just as fast as without the card...
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
correct...once you delete things you get your space back. I didn't notice much difference in transfer speed between my class 6 and class 2. So if you can, just save yourself the money and get class 4. There was an article I read somewhere that a higher class can actually make performance worse on the phone. Don't know how true it is, but class 2 has been perfect for me. No difference anywhere.
[Focus General] smuook:
You need too spend some time reading this thread before buying a microsd card:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834144&page=3

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2450831

A higher speed class can actually work against you because sometimes the maker sacrifices random operations for speed.

You can either wait for official "windows phone 7 certified" cards or take your chances. Read the first post carefully, especially the most recent posts. I personally have been using a 16gb Samsung card with no problems. Caveat emptor.
[Focus General] xThe Enforcer:
Sweet, thanks for the info.

This one looks promising...

Patriot Signature 16GB Micro SDHC Class 4 Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC43P

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220524

If you read the feedback, nothing but positive reviews.

"Pros: Very good price to performance ratio. Works with the Samsung Focus. Good read write speeds.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Not sure why some say negatives about the speed of the card. Maybe they got a bad one, but this tested out at just under 4.5gb write speeds. I had been using a Sandisk class 2 card with my Samsung Focus, but it would do some random rebooting and crashing. With this card it has been absoulutly perfect for over a week of use. I have 15gb of music and photos on the phone so I know that I am using the memory card along with the 8gb that is onboard with the phone."

Kinda sold on this... Should I do it?!?!?!?! Buy it right now?!?!! lol
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
This is pretty much what I was asking in another thread. I want to go with a 32GB card as I don't want to go through hard reset if I ever need more memory later on.

What is a good 32GB tmicroSD card hat works with Focus with no issues? I would like name of manufacturer, class and even the part# so I can source locally (go to store or order online).

Thanks.
[Focus General] xThe Enforcer:
No lie, you're going to spend a lot of $ and 32GB is overkill.
[Focus General] Bwyan Benton:
like I said before class 2 or 4 and Sandisk would be your safest bet.

I see you have never read the whole thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834144&goto=newpost

In that thread you'll see that around 7 guys with that MicroSD had multiple problems with that card, including myself.

Good luck with that L!
[Focus General] Andrew725:
After reading the large thread on compatible cards above, it seems the real test is if you've loaded over 8GB of data onto the SDHC card (or over 16GB total in your case) and don't experience any problems. If that's the case then that's awesome (and it also sadly verifies the fact that no one knows which brand of card really works than the Sandisk 8GB Class 2, which is mentioned in the official instruction manual).

To the OP, I've stuck with the 8GB Sandisk. I considered the OEM version for $12 USD available on Amazon but decided against it, and went with the retail packaged version, which I got at Radio Shack for $20 USD. 14 or so GB will be good enough until the official certified ones are announced.
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
well ill just refer to him as mr arse... but mr arse is partially correct.... mine was stable up to 15gb then after that it went downhill fast.... so give the dude a bit of a break....
[Focus General] lavike:
Has anyone seen any OFFICIAL announcement that there will be APPROVED cards for WP7. I know that Sandisk tried to pull a fast one and say their's were approved but then pulled them. Is MS even allowing such a program?
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
If by program you mean "a system through which to certify cards", as far as I understand, that does exist.

No, there's no official announcement. For the record, SanDisk didn't try to pull a fast one, all they did on their site was state that the cards were compatible, probably through flipping a "switch" like they do for every other phone that has a microSD slot. It was blogs that made the mistake of saying SanDisk was saying they were certified.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afaaron25:
I installed a few paid apps for free from a site using the .apk files. I was wondering if there was a way to update them? I have read other threads about using atrackdog, but i still will have to purchase the app from the market to update. I have already donated, i dont want to pay too lol
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Titanium Backup Pro lets you link apps to Market, that might do the trick...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afaaron25:
Are there any free apps that allow you to link them?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Could just steal like you did the others.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftdr:
He said he already donated. Read before you hurl accusations. Don't assume that the only legitimate way to get a paid app is through the market.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
If you shoplift a TV from walmart but leave the money sitting on the shelf are you still going to be charged with theft... yes. A site that offers paid apps for free as an apk download is not a legitimate source, donating to the dev after the fact does not then make the app legitimately acquired. And so there are consequences, such as not being able to update the apps. It's a fairly mellow statement I made, not even remotely worth bumping a nearly five month old thread.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlywily:
updating apps not installed thru market (amazon) but there's a catch...

Here is the short version.

Had Amazon account.

Account was compromised.

Had to make new account. (All apps that were installed thru amazons "market" are now not listed in "my apps".)

Sooooo, is there a way to check for updates on these particular apps manually? It's a strange thing, but driving me nuts!!!

[Epic 4G General] anti09:
Hey guys, new rooter here, hopefully somebody can help me out...

So I was running stock DL18 Eclair, decided to flash Baked Snack 1.6 (babystep.zip).

I rooted, installed Clockwork Recovery, made a backup and everything, as well as backed up with Titanium backup.

I loaded babystep.zip onto my sdcard and flashed using Clockwork. Install was successful, but when I rebooted the phone it hangs on the Samsung loading screen. I tried reflashing, to no avail. I also tried step2.zip, another kernel version of baked snack, no go.

So then I tried reflashing my backup from clockwork recovery. That didn't work either, same problem, just hangs on the Samsung screen.

Does anybody have any advice, or did I brick my phone and now I have to do a factory reset using odin?
[Epic 4G General] richse:
How long did you give it on the first boot? Sometimes the first bootup takes a really long time.

Worst case, just do an odin restore with DI18 and then restore with your clockwork backup. Would take like 15 min and you'd be right back to where you were.
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
How long is really long? I probably gave it a good 5 minutes before restarting.

And I was on my way to doing a factory reset with odin now... where do I insert the .pit into odin? I don't see a pit section
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
I'm not too familiar with Baked Snack.. is that the kernel file or the rom that you were flashing? Or does it only need the one .zip file?
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
Baked Snack is a kernel only, it uses the stock Dl18 rom.

Honestly by this point I'm just trying to do a factory restore, cause after re-flashing with my clockwork recovery (which also didn't work) I can't even access my sdcard anymore.

Odin recognizes my phone but I don't see anywhere to insert the .pit file... I'm using Odin Multi Downloader 4.3, is that the right program?

Edit: If somebody felt like helping me over AIM, it would be much appreciated! S/n is anticrombie0909
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I dont know what you are using but u should be usind odin3 v1.61 and the pit file goes right above the pda but you dont need the pit file. Just use the tar file and make sure its the approp. Size. Depending on what stock rom you downloaded it should at least be 255mb. And insert the rom in pda section and make sure only reboot is the only thing checked.

Sent from my Evo killer!
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
Can someone please link me to that version of odin? And why don't I need the .pit file? Finally, do I need to reflash the entire ROM, or only the kernel?
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Odin MultiDownloader is an older tool than Odin3 that really isn't meant to be used with our phones. Use Odin3 1.61.

And you should be able to get by without a pit as long as your partitions are still properly partitioned.
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
Ok, so I managed to do a factory restore using odin, back to stock.

I tried reflashing baked snack again, but it looks like it's hanging on the Samsung screen again... here's exactly what I did, step by step.

1. Wiped my phone, clean Dl18 stock install.

2. Installed Rom Manager, flashed clockworkmod install. Loaded babysteps.zip (the kernel file) onto sdcard.

3. Ran clockwork manager, picked "select file from sdcard," flashed the kernel, which was successful.

4. Went back to clockwork manager's main menu, selected "reboot phone."

Once again, it's hanging on the Samsung loading screen. I've let it sit for about ten minutes now, no change. What am I doing wrong?
[Epic 4G General] joshottley:
You're flashing babysteps, which doesn't work with all phones. Do something a little more mild. Also there is a rom, you know, and the kernel runs better with his custom rom.
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
So should I try something like worksforall.zip? Or should I just go ahead and install the whole bakedsnack1.6 rom + kernel combo? And if I do the latter, is it the same process (load onto sdcard, go to clockworkmod, install and reboot)?
[Epic 4G General] irule9000:
be careful with it. I did works for all and then rebooted to do step 2 and mine hung samsungmobile.com screen. It took me about a week to fix it as i was having checksum errors, odin screwups, driver issues, clockwork problems, boot problems. Any problem that could happen happened to me. Im currently fixed and restoring my nandroid after using odin, im probably gonna wait for a better build and i suggest you do the same, but it would be probably easier for you to fix yours than me to fix mine
[Epic 4G General] anti09:
So I ended up installing the entire Baked Snack 1.6 kernel + rom, which seems to be working great now. Thanks for your help everyone, this thread can be deleted.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] apavolka:
Alright so I've been looking around and some people have said to wipe all days when just installing a theme when one if already installed. Sim say to only wipe certain data and yet others say nothing is required. I have the fission 2.3 gingerbread theme on fission 2.4 and want to run a theme for 2.4. What should I do?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Acid'sMark:
The easy way is to use Fission ROM Manager and install the straight Fission ROM over whatever theme, then intsall which ever theme you wish to switch too... This works great for me.

Another way is to reboot into clockworkmod go into backup and restore, then advanced, then choose a nandroid back up of the stock ROM, then select restore system. This takes long but will take most if not all of whatever theme you have installed.

Good luck, post if you have trouble.
[Captivate General] HHF2:
My employer just purchased an AT&T Captivate and loves it. He has already loaded it with apps and I flashed the overclock kernal (1.2) to it to make it a little bit snappier. He uses his phone and Galaxy Tablet for work and is interested in trying out a rom because he isn't too happy about the interface. I have the Droid X and that is the entire reason that he wanted a Droid phone. Anyway, he is addicted now and I am not too sure about the Captivate and don't want to make a mistake for obvious reasons, but would like to "hook him up" with a good rom. Any suggestions? I would like to put it on using Clockwork Mod, he just purchased it 2 days ago off of the market and I would like for him to see that he can actually use it. Oh, the phone is at 2.1, rooted with z4root and the 1.2 kernal.

He also has a friend that claims to have a Captivate overclocked to a stable 1.4? I have done A LOT of reading and short of trying something out on the phone, I am as ready as I can be! I have made a nandroid backup of the phone!

Thanks for any expert help out there!
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
You will come to find out that these threads get locked all the time because what might be good for one phone is not for another. Unfortunately I could suggest say Cognition because it works great on my phone, but his phone might not be stable. Same if I said to use Doc's rom. It really depends on if he wants to stay on a Captivate rom vs. an I9000 rom. Each has pros and cons and the best way to chose is read about each rom available and just test.
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
With my old Captivate I always had issues when trying to use i9000 ROMs (batch 1007). So I always stayed with Captivate based ROMs.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Yeah that was kind of what I was getting at with my explanation. Thanks for stating that because I personally have not had any issues, but I know people do with certain Rom's. That is why these which is best threads really are not good for knowing what is best on each phone. :D
[Captivate General] HHF2:
Thanks for the replies! I will try it out tomorrow. Do you know if there is a custom kernal that is overclocked past 1.2?
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Seitron has a kernel that people have run to 1.4 and I assume it is stable.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
in my experience the stock rom is best if you want minimal bugs

not very glamorous or fast, however
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
Setirons kernel goes up to 1.6 actually but there are not many captivates out there that can handle even the 1.4. Mine is only able to run 1.3 stable. Trial and error. Also you have to remember the captivates battery life is not the greatest stock so add an oc'ed kernel and battery is gonna drain faster.
