ExcessBLarg! posted:There's a key you can press to make the recovery menu appear. If you never press it, recovery times out and reboots automatically (as you describe). It should be the home key, so if you mash it a few times while booting recovery the menu should turn on and off. If not the home key, try others. Home... key? The only hard buttons the G Nexus has are volume up. volume down, and power.

Thanks, that works, but I don't have an option to update from SDcard, just /cache. Should I drop the .zip in /cache or is that a bad idea?

In 4.0.x, you can no longer manually flash a signed OTA with the stock recovery.

I don't think you can manually flash through the stock ICS recovery - on my Nexus S the option is there but it just fails when you select the zip. I unlocked the phone and used Clockwork recovery to flash the 4.0.4 OTA - actually turned out really painless.

Mark Larson posted:If you have S-OFF, you probably also have a custom recovery. If not, CWM works fine. All you need after that is to update the firmware and flash ICS, all together because IIRC the new firmware isn't compatible with GB roms. Check out Virtuous Inquisition. It ran rock solid stable for me and I found the firmware I needed from there as well. I muddled through the whole process and finally got Virtuous installed correctly. Everything's running fine so far. Only complaint is poor battery life, even after resetting battery stats. But I've been reinstalling apps, getting home screens/bookmarks/passwords reconfigured, etc, so I will give it a few days. Thanks for help, sorry for being a big gay baby. XDA is both the best and worst that Android has to offer.

Likely a dumb question, but here goes: I live in Korea and got a Google Nexus S through Korea Telecom KT Olleh (UMTS). I rooted it a year ago, but these should have been sold "unlocked to carriers. It's running 2.3.4 and baseband M200KRKC1 I'm going back to the US for a month. If I pop out the sim and put in one from Tmobile it should work right? I'm unsure which frequencies each system is using.

politicorific posted:Likely a dumb question, but here goes: Depends on the frequencies yours uses but I'd seriously doubt it will do 3G on US T-Mobile. T-Mobile uses an oddball frequency set here and I really don't think anyone uses the AWS bands overseas. Googling gives me nothing on the carrier but in the US T-Mobile uses 1700 & 2100 bands for 3G. If your phone supports those then yes, it will work. I'm pretty sure the Korean model numbers are unique too, but on the off chance they aren't, can you tell the model number of the Nexus S you have? The one you'd need would be the i9020T or i9023T. No other version will work on US T-Mobile.

Thanks for the help guys, I figured out what to do to unlock the bootloader and root the phone. Basically I had to turn on the USB Debugging on the phone, turn off UAC in windows 7, install the drivers on the pc using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, then I basically just unlocked the bootloader and rooted using the toolkit. I made sure to install CWR and turn off the stock auto-flash thing. I'm gonna drop the 4.0.4 update in the root storage /SDcard folder and use the clockwork recovery thing I flashed to install it. Cheers for all the help, I hope 4.0.4 sorts out my restarting issues.

I'm using less than 100mb/month You may or may not be fine with EDGE, but just in case you haven't thought of this: For many, the problem with EDGE has less to do with how much they download in total every month and more with web pages or whatever taking much longer to download. In other words, EDGE degrades the user experience.

I asked this earlier and got no response. I messed my Asus Transformer up a while back and was just able to fix it. I had installed a new version of CWM on it, flashed the regular rom on it. When I went to reroot it with the viper method it worked fine. However I reboot it into recovery and it appears to have somehow corrupted itself. It can boot up fine but going into recovery just gives the Android guy with the warning triangle. I've tried googling but I'm not sure what to search for.

I've tried googling but I'm not sure what to search for. There was a version of CWM that was making the rounds a while back which cause a recovery bootloop. The fix involved access to ADB or a terminal emulator, so I would suggest going back to stock and re-rooting it if you can.

SeaborneClink posted:Sure about that? You never said anywhere you were talking about the 3G not working. You opened your post taking about 3G, but finished being very ambiguous. To a point it could have, and was misinterpreted. Because I assumed everyone knows that carrier unlocked GSM phones work on every GSM network. Obviously the poster to whom I was replying knew that as that's what he was asking about. The only thing that was in question is whether UMTS would work, again something the poster knew because he specifically asked about UMTS. So even if it was ambiguous to you it seemed obvious to me he knew GSM worked everywhere and was asking whether he'd get 3G data where he was going.

Obviously you can always flash a stock ROM in the Samsung tools they offer if the buyer requests it to be perfectly stock which will wipe all the data on the device.

I froze a bunch of services on my Razr Maxx yesterday and seem to have lost 4g connectivity. Is there something I could have frozen that would do that? I'm on the stock ROM, didn't uninstall any of it just froze services I didn't want running or at least thought I didn't need. Everything else works just fine outside of 4G.

nimper posted:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760 I just installed this the other day and it increased the performance significantly with regards to how well games perform. One problem though with ICS is when I switch my volume mode to vibrate it doesn't mute my notification sounds which I have set to not linked in volume but I do have it set to link in mute states. Is this normal ICS behaviour or a problem with this CM9 build?

StickFigs posted:I just installed this the other day and it increased the performance significantly with regards to how well games perform. They're screwing with how the volumes are linked so this may not be the final behavior in the release version. I haven't really tried to mess with it yet. I usually just set everything to vibrate and don't bother with linking anything.

LastInLine posted:Not sure what you're asking but you can wipe data/cache/Dalvik in recovery and have the custom ROM be virginal. Some recoveries also have a way to wipe /system which isn't necessary and can be dangerous (if, for instance, you accidentally reboot without flashing another ROM) but you could do that and then reapply the ROM you have if you want it to be "out of the box custom ROM'd". I know the Vibrant has a lot of flaws that you pretty much need to fix so I'm guessing you're looking for it to be wiped of your data but still have things like the lagfix/file system conversion in place which is what wiping data/cache/Dalvik in recovery would do.

Wow, 4EXT recovery is a world of improvement over CWM. I used it to flash a ROM on my Sensation, along with an add-on, and the menu options (along with fluid touch input) are incredible. Koush better step up his game.

I saw a while back that he had it in development, but the options in 4ext went past the touch element. I flashed a "super-lite" ROM, which left out a bunch of poo poo that probably shouldn't have been left out. When I went to flash the addon pack through recovery, I was presented with a checkbox menu that allowed me to select the addons that I wanted, and didn't have to add on anything I didn't want. Really nice stuff.

Is there a a good guide that explains the steps I need to take and the different versions of ICS? Is there a version best suited for the Bionic? I'm also interested if someone more knowledgeable can comment. I have lots of experience with Samsungs, but nothing complicated with a locked bootloader and stuff. I can be a little helpful, though. It sounds like none of the custom ICS Bionic roms are really ready for prime time. Gummy 1.x seems to be the consensus least buggy, but that still means no video recording, no hardware acceleration (meaning issues with some video playback including Netflix, among other things), and possibly data connection issues. If anyone actually running ICS on a Bionic can comment, that'd be great, but it doesn't sound quite ready yet. E: Or alternatively, if there's anyway to get Chrome working on Gingerbread, that would be good enough for me. I'm guessing not though.

Any thoughts on CM9 vs AOKP for GSM Galaxy Nexus? I'm running AOKP milestone 4 right now and it works great except my cell signal drops randomly where there should be signal, then bounces back again within a few minutes or after turning the radios off and on. Hoping a 4.0.4 build will fix this and trying to decide between sticking with AOKP or trying out CM9.

Is CM9 using 4.0.4? I've also been thinking about switching from AOKP to CM, but don't want to lose out on 4.0.4. This is on my VZW GNex AOKP has become really...large. It's just a lot for what I need, and I think CM9 is a little slimmer and would run better.

LastInLine posted:On my buddy's G2 we ended up using either 4ext :snip: Yeah it's a pretty good recovery. I've avoided touch interface in my recovery because most implementations strike me as somewhat buggy and if there is one place I really don't want bugs, it's in the recovery. I used 4ext RC 1 a while back and I really enjoyed how thorough their database was on how your partitions are set up. That being said, I don't really flash a ton of roms anymore. G2 devving is stuck at an impasse of nobody actually talking to each other and fixing the issues with their ICS based roms. Thus, everyone keeps pooping out the same 2/3 working generic crap and calling it the best thing next to sliced bread.

I've just flashed Andromadus Audacity vB2 on my G2, and so far it seems fairly good. I was running cm7 for the longest time, and finally decided to make the jump. So far it seems pretty good for my uses, but today my sdcard went corrupt. Not sure wtf thats about, first time since cm6 though.. I hope its just a fluke, I haven't even bothered looking into it yet.
