Hi ,
I turn on Download mode on my Nexus S .
Odin detected my phone , but I haven't Firmware to upload..
Maybe this method will be help to fast root Nexus S in future ?
The nexus s is already rooted.
And there is no reason to use this ever. (just install the rom through recovery)
unless I am missing something????
My objective when I bought the Nexus and sold my Galaxy S was to remove Odin/Kies from my life
I would like to never hear again these words
Ok , but in my opinion root as Odin is simply I look for Firmware with Polish language , but probably does not exist. In SGS I upload Firmware as Odin and I have Polish language. Now I have Nexus S from USA and it hasn't Polish.
You're not going to get a download mode on this device. I appreciate your dilemma, but 99.9% of us are overjoyed we don't have to deal with that methodology. The less Samsung this phone feels the better.
I would post in the Google forums and see if you can get a Google employee/dev to address your request.
Wrong forum.
Odin is really not that bad. Its a really easy way getting back to stock and makes the device practically not brickable.

The Nexus S is "practically not brickable" as well. Flash a new image via fastboot.
Fastboot just as easy to use as Odin, and in fact easier, since it can be used on any platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) and doesn't require Windows-based buggy software and drivers to talk to the phone.
As a Mac owner, I for one am glad to have no need for Odin any more...
To the original poster looking for Polish...the Nexus S is setup totally different than the SGS line of phones. You're not going to be able to push some currently available SGS Polish enabled ROM to the NS and get it to work.
LOL,
Really dude? Odin is pointless, and certainly isn't simple when you compare it with the mere 5-6 lines of terminal commands required to root your Nexus S. Not to mention there's already a 1-click rooting tool out, so unless ODIN can get you a zero-click root, this is just useless.

which key combination did you use to get in?
this is a nice safety net, to use Odin and recover from bad customizations

Wow, I am guilty as charged in that regard. I didn't even notice there was a picture attached!
There's another thread about this right in this forum...it ends with a post from a guy with only one post on xda that says yes, you can get into DL mode. No one asked for more details there...
I tried a couple of known 3-button combos from other devices, and even a "su reboot download" from the terminal. None of them got me into DLM.
I use connector with resistor 301K to turn on Download Mode.

thanks!
yay! my old 301k is compatible
i had a hunch it had to be it
after all the SNS is part of the Galaxy S family
Odin detect 4 ports when you connect SNS.
Is possible move one file (Polish language pack) from SGS to Nexus S ?
I agree with everyone who dislikes Odin. It's almost a surefire way to brick your damn phone because the app is so unstable! I'm no n00b, but I bricked my Vibrant...twice. Never had an issue via fastboot with my N1 or NS. It's so easy, fast, cross-platform...it's darn near perfect.
Coming from vibrant and plenty of expirience ...Its impossible to brick with Odin and Odin is a no brainer easy to use and very quick to use to flash. But IMO no need for it on NS

I see it as a very good safety net, to prevent bricking the phone for occasions when you can't even boot into CW recovery

Yup, when I had my epic I can't even remember how many time I had to Odin because I couldn't even get to into recovery. Freakin' lifesaver.
Dear all
I just have a big problem that I still cannot solve by myselft and all the things I searched on Internet
I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock rom from Google dev site. Then, I tried to install it by Google Nexus Toolkit 1.6.4 but it was not successful
( Perhaps the universal driver is not fully compatible with Windows 8, I often have this problem on Windows 8 )
Then I changed to use Google Nexus 7 Toolkit v5.0.0 and flash the stock ROM
This tool could do a little bit further. It extracted, deleted user data, send file to machine but after that, it flashed unsuccessfully
The screen is still in bootloader mode. So I decided to press Start to check whether the ROM had been installed successfully or not
And it said boot failed
I turned off the device and then couldn't turn it on till now. I plugged into laptop and it said lacking of APX driver.
I searched and know that this is a mode only for NVIDIA processor devices
I tried so many ways on Internet to turn it on, but still cannot
So can you help me wake it up ?
Thank you so much
Sorry for bad English

As per now... you are stuck in APX mode. No solution for that in the Nexus 7 device. Asus cover that in warranty, you´ll have to go that way... It happened the same to me.

Hey, the same with me, after trying to update to android 4.3 with nexus root tool kit 1.64.
In this case the bootloader was deleted. Waiting for the feedback of asus....
Based upon this evidence I suggest you don't use a tool kit to flash 4.3 and do it manually

I'm not an expert but I would say there is no way for them to know at this point. So yes, you are covered. They need to completely wipe the device to get it back to life. This is something that happened to people updating OTAs as well, so it's not an uncommon issue.

Tried to update Nexus 7 4.2.2 rooted with Nexus Toolkit too..but got stuck at a APX mode Nexus 7.
Nothing could revive it, so had to send to Asus for warranty claim
They changed a new motherboard and all is well now.....with 4.3..but wifi reception still sucks
Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.
Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

I don't think so if you're not rooted. I'm trying out Dr fone for my own education, but I'm rooted and it seems to be working. It'll take awhile and I might try it unrooted too. I'll let you know what I find out.

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

Hey guys,
I would like to mirror my Samsung S4 with AppRadio Unchained to my Pioneer 2DIN unit in my car. The audio unit does have an HDMI input, several people do mirror the phone's screens with the help of a Dongle or HDTV adapter. I purchased the Samsung S4 HDTV adapter ET-H10FAUWEGWW and tested it, but my phone does not connect via MHL. The smartphone will be charged when plugged to the adapter, though.
I also attempted to mirror the phone to a Samsung HDTV, but the TV does not receive a signal, either.
I tried to mirror a Samsung S3 with my adapter on the Samsung HDTV and it worked flawlessly. I guess, the problem with mirroring my phone to a HDTV or my car audio unit is, that my S4 does not connect via MHL. Do you have any ideas why my phone does not connect?
Samsung S4 GT-I9505
Android 4.4.2

Thank you very much in advance. I would be most grateful if you could help me!

Try it with a fully stock rom with no root. Then you will atleast know that is the problem. If it doesn't even work with a stock rom, then it's not rom/root related.

Having read several posts, I guess the Kernel is the problem. A lot of people say that a modified Kernel with KNOX counter x1 will prevent the smartphone from using the MHL connection.
I am using this kernel: samsung GT-I9505 jfltexx KOT49H.I9505XXUFNA5 4.4.2 2
Is there any chance to use a rooted kernel and to use the MHL connection?
Thank you guys in advance!
EDIT:
Is this the right way for a solution?
- Flash stock kernel - which Kernel must be used for a German Vodafone S4 4.4.2?
- Use triangle away
- Check again if MHL is working
EDIT 2:
My knox warranty void is 0x1. Does this mean I cannot use Screen Mirroring anymore?
Thank you guys in advance!

there is a switch in advanced settings which enables otg, so i presume it natively supports otg without the need of an external app..
(though i have not tested otg function myself yet..)
thus defeating your need to root?

But if i flashed the official rom downloaded from the op site, will everything get locked again? E.g. oem, recovery etc

with a custom recovery (like TWRP) and root solution (SuperSU or MagiskSU), the recovery sticks across reboots..
and the bootloader stays unlocked after flashing the official rom..

Thanks bro, appreciate ur help
hmm you guys think it is to early to flash custom Roms and wait a bit for stable builds/TWRP ?
Since alot of software updates are being pushed at OP5 the upcoming time i think
i fully agree with your suggestion...till explore the power of 1+5
OTG works just fine without root once the option is turned on in the settings. I have used it last week to transfer my SD contents to the phone.
I have tested a cheap £2 USB C OTG adaptor from ebay that works just fine and i have also tested using a Micro USB to USB C adaptor along with a USB to Micro USB adaptor that works also.

OTG works fine No need to install any 3rd app or mods

I was thinking about it just then, maybe i wont root and flash when i receive the phone, i never had an op5 before so i am eager to know what performance it has, i just hope that their tweaks for the andoid711 is what i wanted :laugh:
I rooted right away so I could use some of my root apps, but I'm staying on the stock ROM for a while. They're pushing out tons of updates recently, so until the stock ROM gets most of the quirks sorted out, I'll be staying there.
Hi guys,
I come from a Nexus 5 and I've a nooby question...
If the bootloader is unlocked, the OTA updates are still ok ?
I mean, on my Nexus, with an unlocked bootloader I need to flash manualy the last update every time.
Is it the same with OnePlus ?
Thanks for your reply =)
I decided I was not going to root at first, thinking why bother, but then I got to thinking about data loss.
Let's say the phone bricks, my friend's OP3T did just that (he got it replaced no big deal). I want to be able to restore my phone to exactly the way it was either via titanium backup or nandroid backup.
