baseband: I9020XXJK8

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-g119403d android-build@apa28 #1

build number: soju-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 79397

sounds like i'm a debug phone, what does that mean?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You have to OEM unlock the phone to get CWM...no other way.

Did you see my last post, and it's edit. I think you're one of those userdebug phones google screwed up and shipped out to the public...
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
LOL, we're each one step behind the other. Read this thread for details, and I think there are fixes in there.

haha, thanks a lot, I'll try to read through that thread and figure out this stuff.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Well, the bottom line over there is just to email the guy who works at Google.

I don't know what he'll suggest you do. No one over there's said.

If you're in a hurry, your alternate is to oem unlock the phone, then install CWM recovery, root it, then flash one of the 2.3.1 nandroid images you can find in the Development section.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
i have seen lots of ppl complaining how to apply the new update. so i updated the first page and posted a link to the excellent guide u gave. thanks.
[Nexus S General] SheerazRaza:
Roger that!
[Nexus S General] P1f:
can anyone please post a link to Gmail 2.3.1 ?

I uninstalled gmail and now I cannot update my rooted NS to 2.3.2 because of gmail, I get the Status 7 error.

Thank you very much in advance.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
try this one and let me know if it works fine for you
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
Thanks!

Update installed, root still in place and I'm now on the latest version of the Market (which I've been waiting for OTA for a while now...)
[Nexus S General] P1f:
thank you deeren but unfortunatelly it doesnt let me install that version, it says "Application not installed"
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Do you have "unknown sources" checked in Settings, Applications?

Also, if you're rooted, just push/copy the app to the /system/app directory on the phone

Also, you might be able to just download gmail app from Market, but I'm not sure if that one will be updatable via the update script.
[Nexus S General] P1f:
yes I have that option checked, I could install versions 2.3 and 2.3.2 I just couldnt find any 2.3.1 version to allow me to install the latest OTA update

I will try now to coppy this apk to the /app folder because to install from Market gives me the latest version 2.3.2 and the update fails with this one.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
are you rooted? do you have clockwork recovery installed?
[Nexus S General] P1f:
I was finally able to place that apk in the /system/app folder using terminal emulator but still the same error message during update.

Should I try removing Gmail.apk.p from the update zip file ?
[Nexus S General] deeren:
did u try extracting the gmail apk from the nandroid backup posted in the rom section?
[Nexus S General] P1f:
I am downloading it now, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

BTW the Gmail.apk from bellow looks to be version 2.3.2, I unistalled it now.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
If you go that route, you'll also have to modify the update-script file to remove the line that tells it to patch gmail.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
i meant remove the gmail version 2.3.1 from the nandroid backup posted here and try installing it.

anyway , i think the best solution and easiest would be to restore the nandroid backup from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884093

and then roll the update.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I quoted you by mistake, I meant to quote the guy who asked about removing gmail.apk.p from the update file. I edited my post that quoted you by mistake. ;)
[Nexus S General] P1f:
I removed the Gmail.apk and .odex from the updater-script but it still doesn't install because a "signature check failed"
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Are you using CWM or stock recovery?

Try it with CWM if you aren't.
[Nexus S General] P1f:
you are right DL, I was trying with stock recovery.

CWM recovery doesn't check for signature, I installed it and used it and now I am updated to version 2.3.2

Unfortunatelly for me internet still doesn't work on 3G but thanks everyone for the help with the update I will try to seek help for the 3G issue in the appropiate topic.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
Did you enter the correct apn?
[Nexus S General] P1f:
of course, they are the same as on the old phone Nexus One, I double checked them from the provider here and they match:

http://setari-telefoane.vodafone.ro/telefoane/?id=2525&content=vf-live&service=postpaid

strange thing I noticed is that somehow it puts a line "-" in front of the APN and APN type like this:

-live.vodafone.com

-Internet

but even if I enter and removed the 2 lines and save still no 3G internet only wifi.

I use widgetsoid for shortcuts to enable/disable 3g and wifi + other settings, could it be from this widget ?

edit: with everything enable the Mobile Network Type is HSDPA just that the signal bars are grey and there is no 3g icon next to them and of course the internet is now working.

You're right, but after reboot all is working good.

I have a brand new Nexus s out the box 2.3 will I be getting any update
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Look at your Settings/About screen. If it says Android 2.3.2, then you won't, if it's anything smaller, you will.
[Nexus S General] jblade1000:
thanks for making the update painless :D
[Nexus S General] Bspence415:
Its not working for me I guess I need the ota update it says aborted my build is GRH55
[Nexus S General] deeren:
You have 2 choices

1) try updating to GRH78 manually and then rolling the new update after that

here is the link to GRH78

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884097

2) second option is to load the nandroid backup of the GRH 78 posted somewhere in the dev section and then update from there

hope this helped

FaQ

Known devices to work which do not supply power to the usb port.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HD2

Known devices to work which do supply power to the usb port (you need to skip the power bypase to the phone on these devices).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this list will most likely contain tablets.

Known devices which do not work at all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: I can not find the power path or protection on my hub.

A: Post a high detail closeup of the print of the hub so we can help and draw the path on the photo for you, like in the manual.

But consider the fact that you are getting into a very risky situation, we could be wrong due to a bad picture and you could interpret the photo we draw in a bad way.

I highly recomment that you get help from someone more skilled.

Q: My phone does supply power to the usb port.

A: Do not attach the power cables from the phone usb to the hub, leave it all to the external powersupply.

But remember to tape/isolate the cables to avoid shortings.

Q: I really want to have a hub like this but i'm not capable of building 1.

A: as i got only 4 requests by pm the demand seems to be very little.

but feel free to try and convince me by pm, but pls make it at least 5 hub's.

plopper
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mf_1:
Thx for the idea and the detailed information.

Just bought a hub today and will try it within the next days.

But one question:

Is it neccessary to change the powercables to the phone?

I'm not sure, but wouldn't it work only with the 'bypass protection' wires?

With this bypass the old connection points are on the same power level as the new ones? Do I miss something?

regards and thx again

mf_1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
the protection bypase is indeed enough, but that forces you to stick 2 cables to the small connection points of the original usb cable.

the connections on the usb port are free and mostly they don't even cut off the leads, so you end up with more surface area, resulting in a stronger connection.

on my hub the usb ports are actualy holding the print on it's place, and by using the same length on all the leads (data and power) from the usb cable, and using the usb ports to connect the power makes it less likely that some jerking on the cable breaks/damages the print, also since i picked the 1 which was furthest away.

doesn't change anything on the workings but it's a safer idea.

good luck and have fun building.

plopper
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mf_1:
Works great.

I've bought a very small hub and it wasn't easy to find the connection point (only needed the +5V connection), but thx to your description everything works fine.

With ubuntu it was plug & play, now I'm trying WM and android.

regards

mf_1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
updated the manual a bit, inserted a trick to find them quicker.

on android you might have to enable the usb host mode in the kernel (like ubuntu's usb_host kernel).

not sure tho, pls inform me if this is true.

we tested it on a android tablet in a shop and that worked out of the box.

plopper
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mf_1:
To make it a little easier: gnd should be the same on both +5 areas, so you only need to make 1 connection.

My Hub is a LogiLink USB 2.0 4 Port HUB (UA0003), a very small hub with a 2,0A Power Supply (in Germany available at Conrad electronics for 10€).

Your hint regarding Androids seems to be right, unfortunaly I'm not able to activate it by myself. Maybe one of the developers will built a version sometimes.

Do you have drivers for WM 6.5?

I used Zenos driver without success so far.

Regards

mf_1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
based on our use of the hub you are indeed right, both gnd's should be the same and can be made with 1 connection.

but if the gnd's in both area's are connected by default, then you found a very bad hub.

connection the psu wrongly on a hub like that can have very bad results, smoke out of the computer.

but for our mod. they are perfect, safes a bit of work.

i haven't found any working wince drivers so far.

i'll contact some of the android cooks if they are willing to help with a test.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mister B:
Technical opinion on hub choice

Can I use hub like in picture ? have one lying around doing nothing.

No external power supply on hub, but could buy 2.25A power adaptor & wire it to power tracks.

Could use standard built in usb lead with micro USB adaptor plug ?

Want to keep size & weight to minimum as travel a lot.

Could this replace standard HTC charger(1 less plug to carry) or is full charging via a 2A+ power adapter risky !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
any hub can be used, just some need more or less modifications then others (due to bad design).

to be sure i would need a high resolution picture of the board.

the hd2 has multiple charging mode's.

the standard htc charger is 1 amp, but this doesn't mean it always pushed out that 1 amp.

it can deliver up to 1 amp, the same goes for the external psu you mentioned, just now we have a max of 2.25 amps..

if you worry i suggest you try and keep a close eye on the temperature of the battery.

above 60 celcius the risk of it exploding appears.

personaly i didn't feel a difference in heat on charging on 1 or 2 amps.

another option would be to drain the extra power by hooking up something like an external hdd, those need 1 amp (0.5 amps per usb port, 2 are used on these devices).

plopper
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mister B:
thanks for reply.

What constitutes as bad design for our intended modification ?

Is it not more simple to wire a non external powered hub as it will have no diode circiut to bridge, I'm thinking would only need to tap into power line for external 2A supply & with a micro USB adaptor on original recoil lead it would fit & feed HD2 correctly.

Will strip hub tomorrow if got time, is my rough summary sounding practical from your experience ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
with our intended modification the world turns around.

the best designed hub becomes the worst.

every protection they add, we have to cancel out.

i had the same idea like you, get a non powered hub and connect a psu to it.

but when i unpacked it the power socket appeared.

i wouldn't be surprised if you found the socket painted on the top side of the print and the diodes replaced for bridges.

means less work, hookup 1 random usb port to the psu, replace the plug and done.

plopper
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] youngdaddytc:
hey this is a great idea, but unfortunately for the electrically illiterate it's a bit over our heads. i'd really like to tackle this but im going to have to learn some of the basics first. is there any chance that someone who has made one of these could upload a tutorial vid on youtube? im sure im not the only would who would appreciate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robbie P:
non soldered way?

I have bought a 4 way USB hub which has a usb socket on its input lead. This can be plugged into your PC or into a usb mains charger or usb car charger.

If the input lead is plugged into one of the four output sockets and the lead is cut open and the red and black wires are exposed, a 2A 5v charger can be connected to these wires by twisting together and taping.

This then powers both sides of the hub with 2A supply and by-passes the protection.

It does sacrifice 1 output socket but HD2 +keyboard+mouse= happy Ubuntu

Will this work?

Edit; I have posted a Thread in HD2 Ubuntu Q&A http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130905 to try for more feedback.

If it does work then thanks should go to Plopper for his hard work in this and on other Fora. (And apologies for any lost business!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robbie P:
DOH!

I must have read this thread quite a few times, but I have only just understood what plopper and Mister B were saying in their last posts.

There is no protection in unpowered usb hubs, so no need to bypass it!

I have checked this and it works.

No wonder there have been no replies!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plopper:
what you made here is a Y cable.

but i advise that you do solder the wires, this to avoid problems due to the bad contacts.

problems like sparks can do nasty things to any electrical device.

apologies accepted gracefully.

so far 4 have requested a hub, and 1 of those managed to build 1 himself.

thats not enough sadly.

beside that i'm working about 60 hours per week on average, so not much spare time left.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
I'm still highly confused, and I've yet to find the answer.

What exactly has Samsung/T-Mobile updated in the new sbl.bin?

It isn't the 3-button hardware lock issue, because that was already fixed with

JI6, so what exactly is different in this new sbl.bin?

Also, I been busy all day and haven't kept up with the news, is T-Mo providing an OTA or is the update via kies mini only?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:

Still nothing? You mean to tell me, no dev here knows the difference between the bootloader in KA6 and that which was released in JI6?

I'm updated to DI09 and rooted.

I installed Ti Backup and Rom manager

and also did odin flashing CWM recovery.

I got aborted msg few times, and tried again while installing CWM.

When it went thru alright, CWM installed, then bluetooth not working.

it keeps saying turning on then goes back to off mode.

before CWM installed, (after rooted) bluetooth working fine but if I install CWM then bluetooth not working.

I had to flash original stock back then did all the steps again to go that point.

I'm now stuck here "currently not trying to install CWM because I need bluetooth working!"

Anyone has an idea?

PLEASE HELP!!
[Fascinate General] bendbowden:
Not sure which CWM .tar file you flashed, but I would suggest you flash this one. It has been modified for DL09. Once in recovery, I would recommend that you wipe data and cache. Reboot and BT should work fine :)

wow i just tried it and BT and CWM both working fine!! THANK YOU!!! =]
[Fascinate General] katsymoon:
OMG, another prob is coming up!

after I successfully installed CWM, I launched Rom manager and clicked "flash CWM recovery(?)" and then selected Samsung Fascinate.

then I clicked backup current rom, the screen went to recovery screen says

"Installation aborted" so I chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" then this coming up

"Istall from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update pakage...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

What did I do wrong?

maybe I shouldn't have clicked flash CWM recovery from rom manager?

don't buy it.

hop on craigslist and buy locally. you can touch, use, and test the phone before handing over tons of cash. ;-)

as far as 'tv-like' phones that 'only play videos for demos' that's completely wrong. the phones in store are running a demo application that showcases the features of phones. it's much, much cheaper to just install an app on a phone and put it on the shelf. du huh ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] michael2041:
It was like two dollars with an hour left...it was a t-mobile store G2 that played demos of the features, it said. So I can or can't flash full android on it if i bought something like that?
