First things to do to a new Nexus One

Hi all,
Just picking up my new unlocked Nexus One this week. Cant wait.
In your opinion what are they "must do" things that need to doen straight away with this device to improve performance, add feature, optimise etc
Cheers
Chumby

Hmm... I'd say SEARCH. Cuz it's been asked before.

Brick it! There haven't been enough bricks yet for us to end up with any threads on "There must be a way to unbrick it, stop holding out and fix it you guys that broke my phone!" Those are always a good time!
For real, though... if you keep it stock you will be happy... check out Swype, it is amazing keyboard! Also take a look at the Live Earth Rotation wallpaper, is it my favorite!
I would also say unlock and root and flash a Cyan, then a Desire, then Enom's, then pick which one you liked the most, and rock that for a couple days, then flash again!

Hi there,
Yea have been searching but cant seem to find anything specific.... about the BEST things to do straight away.
Can you remember the name of the thread?
Cheers
Chumby

fap perhaps? It's a large screen you know.

Thanks for that
Ok... thanks for the advice here... will check out the apps mentioned and then the various Roms...
Cheers

seconded!!

Swype...
Now have the N1 and started to get going with it....
Also searched for swype and checked a few other postings... this keboard looks nice.... does it work as good as they say on the N1?
Cheers
Chumby

No
everyone on the internet lied

First thing to do would be to unlock the bootloader! This opens tons of possibilities!

hahaha thats just mean

Root it and unlock bootloader....after that,start having fun flashing all the roms.

Ya def root it then put on cyanogenmod. Don't know how I lived without for the past few days. World of difference.

First, charge put hte battery in and don't turn on phone, charge battery up all the way until its turns green light, then wait another two hours then power it on, then don't plug it in to computer or adapter and let battery drain until phone auto shuts off this will calibrate the battery to last the longest. Next don't unlock/root it right away play around with it for a week make sure everything is right with the phone no defects etc, because one you root/unlock it you void your warranty. After that its all up to you!

Make sure the phone works well and there are no defects, give it 2 weeks to a month before unlocking the bootloader...

1st buy this ASAP :

Flash would be handy.

I flash the wrong ROM

OK. After I installed HSPL and mistakenly installed the 1.43 ROM i thought it was just OK. So I let it go until it reach 100%, after that the phone just went completely off. It won't start, it won't charge and it won't turn on. I try to do a hard reset but same thing nothing works. So right now its completely no working. Do you its still fixable?

nope... you'll have to wait and see if one of the brilliant devs come up with a work around. till then you have a very nice paper weight. If you got it from t-mobile you might still be able to warranty it but you run the risk of them finding out that it has the HSPL on it.

Yes I got it from Tmobile. I just got it yesterday and I went back to the store and they're going to give me a direct replacement. I'm just trying if it might still be revive. I know it can be done but i think its difficult.

if it was just a bad/wrong rom you would be able to boot to bootloader and flash a different rom.
problem is that the official roms also include a radio, and it is the radio from the 1.43 that has bricked your phone, not the rom.
no one has yet managed to start their phone from this kind of brick.

I know..hopefully one of this days one of the developers will be able to crack it and find a cure for it.

There is no cure I can think over other then pulling the actual radio chip and putting in a new one. I would think it would be like killing a BIOS chip on your computers mother board.

I agree. I don't think that there will ever be a cure for this kind of flash.
Question, though... I know HTC has some ways they can directly patch into a phone's hardware. Would it be possible for them to see the data on the ROM section?
I ask, because this would probably be the only way they could detect a Hard SPL or cooked ROM, I think...

They're going to replace it but the store that I bought was out of stock when I went there. They said in 5 days they receive their new HD2 and they will call me.

I think he is just talking in general.

sometimes a rookie mistake can ruin your life..or your phone just next time you flashed it read the whole post atleast 3 times and if you dont understand something read it again or google it so know what it means thats what I do all the time. flashing a rom takes time you cant really rush it and it happens to alot of us.

I really understand whats the do's and don'ts of flashing a ROM. I read it very carefully. It was just I'm so excited with it and didn't even read what I am clicking in my computer. I just hit NEXT..NEXT..NEXT. But what I am going to do the damage is done and there is no point of blaming my carelessness. As what most people say "learn from your mistake".

EVO does not charge, completely revert back?

Hey guys so my EVO has been my daily driver since the day it came out, haven't had any problems and been loving it since.
Recently i purchased an extended battery to hopefully increase the amount of time i have to leave the phone charging. When i switched to the new battery i didn't notice much difference, even conditioned the battery perfectly as well.
So my next step i installed a SBC kernel to see if that may help, well the only thing i can think is that i got lazy and somehow left my phone on with the SBC kernel and now it has messed up the phone.
PROBLEM:
Phone will not accept charge via USB, OEM or Aftermarket charger. The only way for me to use my phone is to charge a battery with an external charger and then just keep switching them out.
So i believe this may be caused by using the SBC kernel but can't be sure (the phone is a bit old and beat up), but i want to revert everything back to stock so i can take it to the Sprint store and see if they will just swap me with another EVO so i don't have any phone downtime. I know worst case scenario i can order another one through insurance but i don't want to spend the $100 deductible if i don't have to.
What is the best way to revert completely back to stock and hopefully make it so at the Sprint store they can't tell that i used a custom rom and kernel?
I created a NAND backup of my current install and was just going to remove the sd card when i go to the Sprint store so i can at least have a backup.
I found these stock roms:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-htc-evo-4g-development/121961-sprint-htc-evo-4g-shipped-roms.html
But can't seem to find any stock kernels except this thread on XDA:
Stock Kernel - xda-developers
Anybody know where i can download the stock kernel?
I also found this thread on XDA with document from a Sprint forum saying that they will accept rooted phones?:
xda-developers - View Single Post - Sprint returns
So my question really comes down to, should i just worry about flashing the stock kernel and rom and then just bring it to a Sprint store?
Anybody got any feedback that has done this before or can point me in the right direction? I want to try and stop by the store today to see what we can get done, have a big week of work ahead of me and don't need any phone downtime.
I also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812030
But is that still viable if they are accepting rooted phones and since it is a bit dated? Should i just print out that thread from a forum to bring to sprint store in case they give me problems?
Thanks guys!

I would revert to stock just in case, especially if they can link the kernel to your issue.
Question, you said it won't accept a charge, is that just for the aftermarket battery or the stock too?
Does the USB port function at all?
Because it sounds like it could just be a USB failure.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MUSAURP7
Take that file and rename it PC36IMG.zip and boot into your bootloader and approve the update.
That will return it to complete stock. [Kernel, radio, ROM etc]
If you used unrevoked you need to flash this .zip first.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip

Thanks for the quick reply, it looks like it's USB all together, it will work for a minute or two then cut off, same thing with charging. Normally i just take my micro SD card and put it in a converter that hooks up to my laptop, now that i tried with USB i notice that doesn't work either.
Are there any fixes/troubleshooting guides for USB failure or is that something hardware related?

There was a thread in the development section some time ago but I think this is just a straight hardware issue.
Unroot just to protect yourself and take it in.
Be warned you will likely get a replacement with 2.3.3 (not rootable currently) if they can't repair the USB port.

Ok but it goes straight to bootloader screen now and nothing else?
I tried flashing another ROM and that did not work, guessing because im no longer rooted, but all i can find for shipped roms are the RUU.
Do you know where i can get a stock rom to flash via recovery? I just dont want to take the phone into the store and them put another battery in it to see that it goes straight to the bootloader screen
Any ideas?

Oh you flashed the s-on .zip, sorry there's so much goddamn trolling around here that you can't help but get caught up in it.
Here's a list of the RUUs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
The .zip are the one that you change to PC36IMG.zip
If you do one of the two top ones you will not be able to re-root the phone later.
[Might not matter if they are replacing it anyway]

Ok great, let me give it a try, thanks for all your help and quick replies!

Okay she's at the store now sitting in that long ass line of phones that need repaired...sometimes it's hard to explain to the sprint people you know what the problem probably is without giving away too much information.
Either way i took the forum printout with me just in case...
BUT they told me they only have (1) evo in stock (obviously besides the ones for sale) and there are 3 other evo's in front of me needing repair (software hopefully).
So as i sat there for a good 30 minutes waiting to give my phone to someone i looked through all the phones they have out now.
Been with Sprint for over 5 years now and the only real upgrade they gave me was the EVO from the TP2 because of how much i complained and complained and complained until they finally gave me one.
I don't have any problems with my EVO, but i use my phone for work and not having it for a day almost makes me feel paralyzed (should not have given old phones to friends, ugh).
What do you think the chances are of them just giving me another phone they have in stock? I'm not too concerned with what it is right now as i just need something to hold me over until i buy another one, but i've had my fun with my EVO and they have plenty of other phones that cost just about the same thing.
I know this question is hard to answer, but if they tell me they have to order the EVO you think if i complain enough they will just give me another phone instead? Maybe i can call Sprint before i head back to the store and see if they can work something out for me?
I'm not saying i want them to give me the phone that cost $200 after rebate as the EVO is now only 99, but if i pay the difference would they? Anybody had this work before?
Hopefully they can just repair my EVO or give me another one, i'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this without having to buy the damn phone at retail cost then return it when my EVO gets in, cut up all my credit cards years ago and thinking about it now just makes me want to cry since i really need one now...ugh..hellp!
Does anybody also know if their business plans have any type of SLA for phones? I would pay $15 a month instead of $8 just to know i can walk into a store and they would give me another of the same or something comparable just so i dont have to go without a phone??
Thanks, i'll let you know how it goes today!

The phone shows signs of corrosion, so they say i have to file an insurance claim. I told them to open it for me and show me where and the dude showed me this small spot on the other side of the board the camera is on that has like an outline of where there may have been some type of liquid?
Who knows, the phone hasn't been dropped in anything, hasn't been used the rain, but they said they are not willing to fix it because they found that spot. BS, that's not what caused my USB port not to work but obviously they don't care...grrrrrr!

Honestly, in a case like this, IF the phone truly has never been dropped in liquid I would call Sprint retentions and complain.
But please only do so IF it truly hasn't.

It really was never exposed to any type of water, only thing i can possibly think was maybe when it rained by i have the otterbox on it so i dont even see how that could be possible.
I did call them and complained a whole lot. They basically gave me a credit for next month and i just paid the deductible for insurance.
Anyways thanks a ton for your help man!

Do you know of a way to root the phone without having USB? Since i'm going to keep this phone i want to try and fix it myself now but USB doesn't work in order to root it again haha
So now that i'm going to keep the phone i guess i need to bring it back to a rootable state...and since i flashed the newest ROM im guessing i can't do that yet, eh?

No, android 2.3.3 is not rootable for the Evo yet

Only a few days later and here's a wonderful thread that worked perfectly for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
Rooting was even easier than before!
Now i can finally use Synergy which is very exciting...i'm also going to try that usb trick and see if i can fix my original EVO, maybe use it for dev or something.

yoiy

Definitely not working for any company, and I have developed many Android ROMs and never had this problem. I've been here since 2005, for crying out loud. This is my first Samsung ROM, so I admit to being new there. I will even accept your "stupid idiot" comment, as I guess I deserve it. Although, I wonder why 150 people have downloaded it and only two or three people that I can see have been bricked. Something must connect those with issues. We need to find what it is.
Also, I am happy to pay for the de-bricking of those who are legitimately bricked i.e., followed instructions, have a receipt from JTAG, or whatever it is). Just PM me.

Absolutely. I understand. I have gotten into many messes since i started developing, and know that panic. I just need to know everything you.and the other user who had this problem can tell e about your device so i can find out what the common denominator is. So, confirm it is the wifi and 3g version you are using, and what build you are coming from, if you would. Are you using a sim card? Have you tried pressing power and volume up for a while? Thanks. Also, does your tablet feel hot at all?

Well I used yours as a base, just chopped the usual crap out, resigned, flashed, everything seemed OK. Initiated reboot, bam, doesn't turn on.
Charged all night, tab is hot along left edge, so I'm guessing still charging. 8600.

first we need to get the device powered so maybe remove and return battery could do something?? but how?
any external way to use it throw usb slot while charging ?

I would try pulling the battery but have no idea how to get the case off.

Steve, just wondering out loud whether those who have the hard-brick issue be because there are on pre-production hardware, so they have a slightly different hardware SKU. Hence your ROM does not work for them.

That seems to be the case for one of them. I am not positive about the others. I am having a hard time getting people to just tell me what build they were using prior to the flash...There seem to be 3 people who have had this porblem, and there must be something linking them, although it may be something random. Need to figure it out.

I came from P6800ZSKL2. Dont know if it was from the very first production line, but judging by the quality (i bought three, all with crap displays) they probably were.
Also, i believe the device is on and trying to unpack something because it is indeed warm.
This of course means that there may be hope of getting into download or recovery yet... i will drain it for 34 hours and then attempt to turn it back on.

For the record hard bricks on the Exynos 4210 will occur generally in one of 3 ways:
1) Mis-matched boot.bin and sbl.bin
2) Incompatible boot.bin and sbl.bin combo
3) Invalid PIT file flash from an earlier generation TAB or Galaxy S device
Anything else causing a black screen is simply hardware failure.

I feel your frustration but in the same time, it's funny to see you put a blame on the G2 instead of the custom ROM or even yourself. Seriously.
You said it was NORMAL, didn't you. It only happens after you "play" around with it. Don't you have anything in your mind such reverse back to stock?

First off, sorry you're having problems with your phone, but it might not be going into deep sleep. You could try BetterBatteryStats or CPUSpy to see if you could alleviate the problem. Good luck.

Did you say this? "it`s normal but i installed new firmware ... "
Did you say this? "buy those sh** phone and not bought nexus 5"
You buy a Rolex, rip it apart, put something else in, then it doesn't function well. You say the Rolex is a piece of junk?
You buy a BMW, rip it apart, add some mod. and it looses power. You claim the BMW is a shyt?
You buy a MAC, put Windows OS in, ehhhhhhhhh. The MAC sucks????
Use some thinking before doing anything to your device.
As for your case, I advice you
1. Call your provider or LG, tell them that the G2 sucks 'cuz you flash new firmware and it wouldn't work the way you expect. Demand their apology. See what they tell you.
2. Throw away your LG, and buy the Nexus 5 and be happy with it.
Mike already gave you some suggestion, I hope others will too.

OK you,
0. Don`t act like super genius person and don`t act like u`r boss
1. "Did you say this? "buy those sh** phone and not bought nexus 5"" <-- Yes i said like it
2. "Did you say this? "it`s normal but i installed new firmware ... "" <-- no i said that "ye while root it`s normal" and reseted firmware for unroot
and you think that i`m always like that way? noo man u are totally wrong... i installed new firmware cuz of those battery drain and root (actually same version as i had but just re flashed, but u can think its new firmware)
ohmm Nexus 5 is by LG by the way xD xD
oh and about carrier contact xD i bought from reseller in my country so...
idk what u mean in suggestion for Mike but at last he helped me, he suggested a apps that can help me he`s not like u. Oh ye and i actually was (and im now) nervious cuz it? why not? its a simple problem? nooo
and last thing: i`m not going to "fight" with u in my thread so its my last words, if u have to tell something more to me. PM me

No one fights with you.
I just take a little time to educate you a bit so next time, instead of say "this one sucks and should have bought the others", just saying "i have done some stupid things and now it won't work, please help" or "what's wrong with my device since it drains so much, can someone please give me some advice".
That will make your life better, not only in this sub-forum of G2 but every other aspect in life. Nobody wants to hear you put a blame on something that wasn't there in the beginning.
Have you ever searched and see how many people get great battery life on stock ROM?
Have you ever wonder why only a few come to your thread and help?
Anyway, that was just my advice to you, take it or leave it.

Kids who blame the device because they can't use it.

if you wanna keep everything the same as before, you shouldn't flash any customized roms, only the stock rom is the most stable one.
