I9020A Beta Testers Needed - Nexus S General

Hi Everyone,
I need a beta tester or two. You must have an I9020A.
I have created a CWM-flashable version of the stock ROM that comes loaded on the I9020A (2.3.3/GRI54) along with the stock recovery, radio (I9020AUCKB2) and bootloader (I9020XXKA3). This ROM is 100% factory, no root, not deodexed, etc. It is built in the same fashion as Google's official OTA ROMs for 2.3.3/GRI40 for I9020T and 2.3.4/GRJ22 for I9020T and I9023.
I have absolutely no idea if any of this stuff will work as I don't have an I9020A to test on. I have done 3 of these packages before (2.3/GRH55, 2.3.1/GRH78 and 2.3.2/GRH78C) for the I9020T (the phone I have) and have had no issues.
If you choose to beta test this, you will flash it in CWM and I'd like you to do a data/cache wipe as well as a dalvik wipe. Then I'd like to know the following:
1. Does the system boot.
2. Does the radio seem to be working (making calls, wifi works, 3G, etc.)
3. Did the stock recovery install correctly?
4. Did the bootloader install correctly?
After flashing this ROM package, you'll have to re-flash ClockworkMod after you verify the stock recovery installed properly. If the radio messes up, you messes up, you can flash the radio in this post which is tested and works.
If you're interested in beta testing for me, post in here or send me a PM and I'll fire the link off to you.
Thanks!

Any takers?

I'll give it a shot

i'll give it a shot as well

There's already a full I9020A 2.3.3 stock ROM that I posted a month ago, along with the radio. I managed to update to 2.3.4 with it. I also made a full stick ROM for 2.3.4. I can dig up the thread later but it's also in the stickies above.

[Q] MultiBoot & ICS

Unfortunatelly I don't have permissions to reply in this topic, so I created this one.
I have Installed CM7.2 (from Quarx) on stable recovery and ICS to latest recovery. I use multiboot for this.
Everything worked good, but one of the newest version of ICS has newer kernel, so after I choose it phone just stucks at Moto logo...
So I have 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to get working new ICS on multiboot?
2) If no, how can I delete ICS from latest recovery and install there other firmware?
Thanks

Nope its not possible to have the newer versions including 111207 on multiboot!
to get rid of ICS in the latest boot you can just flash an other .zip over it, like miui or stuff...
hope it helped, greetz Esok
It is possible
Yes, it is possible. The only vital pre-requisite is to upgrade the main CM7 system to 2.3.4 kernel version.
But before, take care of:
1. The 2.3.4 kernel has some issue regarding camera, specially green lens (I think it doesn't work yet). Red lens work great, after a few work around with some overlay libs. (all this stuff very well described on CM7 thread).
2. Once you upgrade the kernel, you could install CM9 latest test builds.
pros:
- both systems running latest GB kernel (remember be sure to use 2.3.4)
- great to have CM7 and CM9.
cons:
- be sure to fix your camera in CM7. (of course, hope you have red lens )
- in my case: CM9 boot, but it doesn't detect the baseband (if I check "About phone" Baseband details show "Unknown"). WiFi work Ok.
I really appreciate any advice in this last comment.
Happy holidays

[Q] Please check my approach - Flashing right from UK stock Defy to Quarx CM10 4.1.2

Hi All,
I've done literally weeks of research on this, so hopefully I've not missed any easy posts, but I want to check my approach and ask a final question. This is my daily phone, and while I know the risks and issues with custom roms, I want to get it right. Hope someone can advise.
ROM I want to install is Quarx's JB 4.1.2 CM10.
Phone I have is UK Motorola Defy (Red Lens, original):
System version: Blur_Version_2.21.0.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Model Number: MB525
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: EPU93ST2_U_03.02.00
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
My plan is:
1. Official upgrade to Froyo - it seems this is not yet done on mine, and custom ROMs require its Kernel, I read
2. Root phone - SuperOneClick
3. Titanium Backup - Needs Root
4. ClockWorkMod Recovery - Needs Root, and gives me Nandroid Backup capability in BootLoader
5. Nandroid Backup - this should provide me a route back to stock (* see question below)
6. Flash ROM - this will give me CM10 based on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
Question is, despite reading many threads, I'm still confused on CG versions and SMG file versions (CG##.smg). I do want to be able to flash back to stock after this, in case I want to sell the phone - if I flash up to Quarx's CM10 JB 4.1.2, what CG version is it and is it higher than I can possibly get back to stock from? Or can I find a Fixed SBF of a Stock ROM that will let me go back? How can I best prepare for this?
Anything else to be aware of or concerned about?
Thanks very much.
Steve.
The easiest approach is to directly flash cm10 first and check off it works(you can flash back your stock sbf if there's any problem) because CM10 WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CG VERSION
The potential problem you can face(which can not stop you from stock sbf flash) is an incompatibility of 2ndboot with your stock kernel.
If you run into that problem (which I think should not occur) you will have to flash a compatible sbf, with higher cg version and a compatible stock kernel.

Thanks - good to know CM10 has no CG version. I expected the developers to want to get rid of that kind of limitation as soon as they could!
Hmmm, so could someone confirm, that Quarx's CM10 will flash directly over the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM as listed above (with root/CWM), and doesn't need Froyo deployed as a base? That would really help if so - then I have no further considerations and I can just get on with it. I'll take it carefully and I'd rather not be faced with non-booting etc the first time round.
I believe wifi tethering doesn't work on it, though, or there's some problem with restarting regarding wifi tether. That's a shame, but maybe an app like Barnacle or OpenGarden can work instead...?
You could try it yourself by taking a Nandroid backup and if you face the non booting problem then flash stock sbf+ restore. Beware that sometimes first boot hangs or bootloops and in such cases you can fix the problem with a battery pull, or data wipe respectively
Open garden works without issues
Hit thanks!

[Q] No baseband when on custom rom, but working on stock

Hey there,
I am an active reader of this forum for 4 years now - thank you for all the information - and have a uncommon problem with my nexus 4,
yesterday i upgraded my purity rom to the actual build and have no cellular connection since then 8excuse me for my english right away)
What seems to be a trivila problem is kinda tricky (of course a looked a lot for possible causes and resolves in the forum).
the problem is: i have flashe the actual bootloader, radio and made a factory image flash and my nexus is working when on stock rom.
but when i flash a custom rom - i tried purity, psx and cm 10.1 - the cellular connectivity and in some cases wifi is gone. once i flash the factory image everything is fine again.
can you imagine a possible explanation?
one more information: when flashing the new purity update, i accidentally flashed not the current one, but the 2 month old version... but i allready made a clean-flash, wiping everything and flashing just the rom.
i'm on the most recent bootloader, radio und cwm-recovery
Any idea? Thanks in advance...
alex
update to latest recovery for either cwm or twrp its a common issue that many have posted issues about
hey,
it worked, reverted to an earlier cwm build and it works again. thank you very much

[Q] Nexus 4 Update from CM 10.2 to CM 11 Bootloop

Hi all,
My specs are as follows:
1. Got a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3
2. Did a Sideload update to 4.4 and did not like what I saw )
3. Installed CyanogenMod 10.2 -20131114-SNAPSHOT-InstallerWPPQ46R-Mako via CyanogenMod Installer (screenshot attached)
4. Flashed the 4.3 radio via WUG's Nexus Root Toolkit because I did not have wifi.
I have CWM 6.0.4.3 that came preinstalled with the CM 10.2
I tried to do an update so I flashed the cm-11-20131205-SNAPSHOT-M1-mako.zip and the kitkat gapps via this process:
1. Booted to recovery
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe davlik
4. Installed Rom
5. Insalled Gapps
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe Davlik
The result was a "beautiful" bootloop. I like the new CM logo BTW )
Reading through some similar threads I came across several pieces of advice:
1. Update the recovery as the verion of recovery that comes with CM 10.2 is unable to flash CM 11.
Is the recovery from here an option?
2. One was to install a fresh version of kitkat and then install CM 11 which I don't fancy
3. Wipe data from device.
Could I get your input on how exactly can I proceed in order to get a fully working version of CM11 on my Nexus4?
Thanks a million
Andrei
Nobody with this problem?
no one has had this issue?
Updated to CM 10.2 Stable
In the meantime I updated to CM 10.2 stable version and also updated recovery to CWM Touch 6.0.4.5 from the link in the first post of this thread. Strangely enough now I am receiving information about update builds, even to the CM11 Snapshot.
As fellow Nexus 4 Users, which do you recommend: TWRP or CWM?
Thanks!
help

Do you already did it upgrade to "cm11"? if so how did you do?

Nope, just upgraded today to 10.2.1, the last stable version of cm10, released on the 3rd of Feb. I didn't upgrade to CM11, but when I get bored I will I was on kitkat before and it did not impress...
I think you need to update the baseband
To flash a 4.4 based rom you gonna need :
1-latest selinux compatible recovery.
2-latest bootloader, ver makoz30d .
3-.97 or .98 radio.
Radio and bootloader you can find in googles stock img for mako, extract them and flash via fastboot or find them on xda in a form of flashable zip file.
After all 3 stages you will be able to flash cm11 without a problem, note that a full wipe is highly recommended when coming from 4.3 roms.
Good luck buddy.

Updated Radio - Sensors Not Working - Please Help

Like an idiot, I updated my radio not realizing that I needed to also check EFS (I think) to backup the radio. So, I use Mahdi rom on my VS980, and I've tried every combo of radio version (10b, 11a, 12a, 12b, 24a) with the versions of Mahdi based on the older and newer Kernel versions. I can't get any of the sensors working. So no camera, rotation, auto brightness, etc. What are my options here to get that stuff working?
Got my answer....

Actually I'd use one of the 24a bootstack zips in XDAbbebs thread or Malladus and then flash their ROM. Get the lock, then flash Mahdi. You'll be all set. What does the GA stand for after you flashed SuperSU?
