Someone still on 2.3 need Build number

Can someone who hasn't applied the 2.3.1 OTA let me know what they see under build number? I swapped out my phone today and got a new phone (build date 12/18/2010). I can't apply the OTA and the build number shows test-keys, not release keys......I don't remember this from my original Nexus S. Can anyone confirm what they see pre OTA?

Mine just say GRH55 under build number everything else matches your screenshot.

That's what I figured. Odd getting this out of the box.

Andoid 2.4 Soju

Hi Guys,
I got today a Nexus S and it has apperently a Developer Firmware.
It says :
Android - Version
2.4
Build-Number
soju-userdebug 2.4 GRI06B 88106 test-keys
In Fastboot Mode it says :
Lock State - Unlocked
Here´s my question, is it possible to root this Nexus without damage and putting a CM Rom on it?
Thanks for the help!

I don't know where you got your Nexus S at, but OpenSoju is a Rom here on XDA that is at version 0.2.4 right now. I think you phone may already be rooted so no harm in putting CM on it. Here's a link to the Soju Rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080009

Definotely wouldnt flash anything yet. Dump system first? sure some other nexus users would love to get tgeir hands on that

Oops, I thought he was mistaken. Sounds like you got your hands on something quite useful. Maybe we can get some 2.4 goodness.

Early 2.3.4 builds were labeled 2.4. He got an engineering build that's likely an early build of 2.3.4 - especially looking at the versioning. There was a thread on this a while back and someone at Google listed their email to contact about this (IMEI, location received from) so they could get you on a proper build as the engineering builds will never receive the OTA(s). I actually received one NIB from Best Buy Mobile on a swap from my original device back in December.

Uhm well i managed to get clockwork mod recovery running and could provide a backup of the image if anyones interested in.
Update:
Oh and another thing... is it now safe to instal CM Mod Rom on this handset or may i **** somthing up by doing so?

Indeed it might be very useful especially for those who have the imei messed up.
Please dump the files if you can

Exactly which radio is it?
I'm sure a lot of us would be very happy to get a system dump.
As for the question regarding being CM7-ready... Yes, sounds like it is. But give us a dump first! Please???

i´ve another stupid question.. did the dump and had already set up a few things like marketplace, google account , facebook etc.. is that stuff also contained in the dump .. because if yes i would have to do a factory reset and dump again
Update:
I love it to ask stupid questions and then figuring out by myself.. seems like i have to do anyway a full reset / factory reset , and make a backup
Gonna upload the image in a few minutes!

Lol. None of your info will be in the dump. You are fine.

Indeed, if you have backed up your rom with all your settings, these are kept. You should factory reset n backup again please.
Concerning the radio, can you tell us the version? Its the baseband in settings.

I have a NS4G, I had no idea whether this was something important or not. But I think I would have been an idiot to tell him to flash CM7 without dumping the system first.

If anyone is familiar with creating system images and the likes or helping me get TWRP on there without wiping it would be fantastic.
Edit: I added a couple more actual screen shots of the rom since I'm home from work now.

I happened to have an Asus Fonepad 7 and its UI (Zen UI) looks completely different.
Maybe its their old UI as the screenshots suggests that it runs on 4.2JB and its KitKat on my Fonepad

I would be very interested in how they test their touchscreens.

That looks like an Asus eepad. Not a nexus 7. Nexus7(2013) is built with 4.3. ??

Can you force-install the ADB driver to the ME571K device? I recall a few times where the (ADB) device would appear under Device Manager under some name, but wouldn't install on it's own. Manually selecting the ADB driver worked fine though.
Alternatively, if you can put it in fastboot mode, just do that, attach it to a computer, install the fastboot adb driver on whatever unknown device appears, and then temporarily run (I think you can do this instead of just directly flashing it) TWRP on it.

Yes, you can use this to temporarily boot into TWRP. Where "twrp.img" is the name of the version of twrp you have. (or you can rename it to make it easier.)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If this is really an ENG model, it would be amazing to get a full dump of each individual partition but I'd be most interested in the bootloader to see if there are any additional fastboot oem commands. Having a package of every partition might help in unbricking some of those people who ran into the emmc issue with the OTA updates recently.

Where is the one with the K at the end? I think maybe the decryption process is different per image as each image has their own stock kernel (boot.img) with decryption.

it's just above those with l and m

I'm receiving my 6P Thursday, but all the guides I see for unlocking and decrypting are for 08K. After I get my 6P to 08K unlocked and decrypted, can I still take these updates?

MDB08L Root Tutorial?
How can I root my nexus 6p with the build number, MDB08L? I just got the November update. I have been trying to root ever since I got this phone but I can't find a solid tutorial, because of my build number changing. Does any one have a good link?

I manually flashed M update last night before rooting it and I had to decrypt the rom so that root could work. All fine now.

I used this to unlock, root and install TWRP. I had the same build as you.
SKIPSOFT TOOLKIT

I guess I bit off more then I can chew... I'm really new to rooting and I really want to get in to it. But all I only ever rooted my old nexus 5 and that was extremely simple lol. This new nexus 6p to me feels like you need experience and I don't want to brick my phone. The different build numbers hesitate me. Videos make it a lot simpler for me so I can follow step by step and see what is supposed to happen.

Make sure you flash Chainfires boot.bin and install SuperSU zip in TWRP. Dont say yes if you exit TWRP and it asks you to install root.

Not sure what the difference is (most likely the monthly security updates but thats pure assumption) but i was able to unlock and root on build M with the same instructions as the K build

That was the question/concern I have as well. I just got my 6P two days ago and the November security update was pushed to my device. However it shows I'm on the L build and not the M build. How long does it take for an OTA to be pushed to your device? I would assume if M is newer than my phone should get it? It's just weird that I have the most up to date security patch but not the most up to date factory image and IDK why that is. Thanks.

Not every update is for every phone region. If we haven't gotten an 08M OTA there's a reason.
Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P

Saying then if on L build won't get the M? If that's the case if on L shouldn't consider flashing M images?

The last image for the Nexus 7 2013 razor that I see is still MMB29V.
So much for Google being responsive in getting security updates out. I would have thought that after making a big deal out of that mid-March kernel fiasco that they would have fixed and re-released the images for the three devices that they pulled for whatever reason on Monday. It's now the weekend and no explanation or update from Google. Why am I not surprised?

These monthly updates while obviously a good thing, there also kind of a pain in the ass. Every month I have to flash the new image, re-root the phone, use Titanium Backup, to go in and delete enough from sys partition, to flash Xposed, followed by flashing my beloved ElementalX kernel. Unless there is some way to streamline all that, a noob like me isn't aware of. Presumably we got just a couple weeks till the May security update anyway. I'll wait.
