[STICKY] [ATTENTION] - LOCKED BOOTLOADER INFO here - G Tablet General

ATTENTION - IF YOU ARE ON STOCK 4349+ or any MOD BASED OFF 4349+ USING THE NEW LOCKED BOOTLOADER! READ PLEASE!
Starting with the most recent update to Tap N Tap Viewsonic has introduced a new LOCKED Bootloader. This bootloader is locked in the sense that only a stock kernel will be allowed to boot on your device! This bootloader provides absolutely no advantage other than being able to boot any new STOCK kernels. Since we don't want the STOCK KERNEL and would rather prefer one of Pershoot's standard and newly Overclocked kernels or one of Clemsysn's kernels on MOST of our Modded ROM's you must Downgrade your bootloader and TNT Version before you flash a new kernel or a new ROM.
Please download the following downgrade update.zip and place it on your sdcard renaming it to "update.zip".
http://www.gtabdevs.com/releases/4349_Downgrade.zip
Then power down your device. And power back up while holding the power button and vol + till your display says "recovery key detected" in the top left corner.
Using the volume keys to navigate up/down in the menu highlight "Apply Internal update.zip" if you copied the update.zip to the internal memory or "Apply External SDCard update.zip" if you happened to place it on an external SDCard and then inserted it before booting to recovery. Now select the menu choice using the menu key.
This process will take a few minutes. You will see a Box with an arrow and a progress bar while it applies the update.... when it is finished it will reboot to make the changes. Once the changes are complete your tablet will boot into Tap N Tap version 3588 (cringe).
You are now free to follow all the tutorials about installing CWM and/or Kernels/Roms.
Thank you and good luck.

[Q] Manual Update to 4.0.4 from 2.3.4?

Has Google (or any of the fine people here) Noticed a way to manually upgrade to 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 on the Nexus S GSM I9020A?
Not rooted or anything, just don't feel like waiting for ATT to push out the update because i want my ICS.
1. Download the official firmware
2. Rename it update.zip.
3. Copy it over to the internal storage space on your Nexus S.
4. Power your device off and then hold power and volume up to boot into the device’s bootloader.
5. Select Recovery using the volume keys and then confirm.
6. You’ll soon see a warning triangle and an arrow. Hold the power button and hit volume up.
7. A menu will pop up where you’ll want to select Apply update from /sdcard. Select update.zip.
8. It will install and you’ll want to select reboot system now.
Hope this helps
and download the update.zip from development section...

GUIDE ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148 )
This method works on the released ICS rom from Germany and I would expect it to work for the rest of the ICS roms due for release..
This method does not increase the binary counter or causes a yellow exclamation mark
Update :
Due to rising numbers of phone being bricked based on rumors and stuff, I strongly suggest NOT trying to use any nandroid backup or restore on this CWM and it is best we keep CWM out of our devices to do major I/O stuff. So far I have never seen anyone bricked their devices on this small rooting/unrooting process but JUST DO NOT MAKE BACKUPS OR RESTORES!
Rooting
Download the Files first and put in your EXTERNAL SD
Reboot to stock recovery. - Shutdown your device completely, press and hold Vol Up + Power button + Home, releasing the power buttons once you see the Samsung GALAXY Note N7000 screen but continue to hold the Vol Up and Power buttons still until you enter recovery
Choose apply update from external storage. - Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
( From this point on, the volume rockers and power buttons do not work! It is now a Touch interface like how you use the phone normally )

safe root method
I prefer always cf-root method. it looks for me very safe
If you have superuser app you are rooted.
Try adfree and droidsheep apps.
For a rom try KingDroid ICS ROM.
Good luck

Neither having a busybox, su binary, or superuser app is a proof that you infact have root access.
You could have all those things and still couldn't use root.
If you can get root in console, or apps can request and obtain it, then you have confirmation.
If you are still unsure:
Root Validator checks the most common things.
Funny enough you can't make a complete backup without having a rooted device .

upgrade to CWM 10.1 caused my device to FAIL..need help!

Hey whiz kids,
I upgraded to a new NIghtly cm-10.1 for my tf300t through the custom roms app. Problem is I didn't have a upgraded bootloader, it could be as old as honeycomb I don't know. Whats happening now is a the first Asus screen loads up and its just frozen there permanently until the device dies. I can get into RCK and Fastboot. Apparently I don't have a backup either. What are my options?

Whoops, sneezed and clicked the Thanks button. Oh well... you have my thanks.
Load a stock ROM on you microSD (available on ASUS' support website), and flash it from recovery. This should update your bootloader in addition to flashing a bootable ROM. Then, reflash CM's nightly.
It might be better to ask in the 300T section in case there's any slight idiosyncrasy's that differ from the TF700T.
Marty is right though you should be able to flash back to ICS and start over with an unlocked bootloader.
Appreciate the comments back..thanks. I tried the suggested idea, however, the microsd card inserted on the side of the tablet doesnt have an option in recovery to open up and view the files. The only option I have is to look through the internal usb storage drive, since I cant connect the tab to my computer in an way I tried so far, I cant get an old rom into the internal drive.?? Its just frozen on the asus bootloader screen and wont even turn off lol.

Hold down the power button long enough will enventually turn off the device. Make sure it off first then boot into recovery and see if you can access your sdcard. If not working hookup usb cable between pc and your device, boot into recovery (home page), then open adb on your pc and make sure the rom file is in the same directory of your adb command, on your pc run this command to copy file to your internal memory:
adb push c:\folder_where_adb_and rom_zipfile\rom.zip /sdcard
OK..I sent the file using adb push it took like 90secs and it confirmed the asus jellybean firmware (10.4.2.16) file at 100mb. Only problem is is that its not showing up in the sdcard. There are just a bunch of folders with no new .zip files.?? I dont understand why the file wouldn't show up after it says it sent it.
Which custom recovery are you using? Sounds like you need to re-do it from a PC when in fastboot mode ( choose USB icon in boot loader ). Make sure you use the latest TWRP or CWM as they both read the card fine.

Shamelessly ripped from Pretoriano80's excellent summary thread from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
I copied it here because I wanted to point out the rename step that's needed if you're on stock recovery somehow. I too am curious as to what recovery is active on your system...
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
* If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
* if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery =========

[Q] (Q) - running custom ROM but recovery is Stock

Dear NS forum - my colleague has crespo work phone.Last year I rooted and installed custom ROM for all my co-workers. The Nexus S user came to me with a problem; lately has many force closures and is very slow. I booted it into recovery & got the Android on its back with red triangle --> this is Stock recovery, right?
Not sure how CWM disappeared and got replaced by stock recovery.. but that seems the case. Am I correct that -
1. I need to load my PC with Samsung USB drivers to communicate with phone while in fastboot/download mode?
2. I need to install ADB SDK on my pc too?
3. I need to enter fastboot/download mode and flash a custom recovery?
Kindly help confirm the steps required, am I missing a vital step? Which recovery is best suited ... I have no preference over TWRP / CWM.
Lastly, I am very much out of touch with latest ROMs, appreciate any advice on a simple ROM, maybe 4.2 is best...
appreciate any help, I used to know all this stuff but I moved to Note 2 a year ago. Cheers.
Hey, I just read about Wug toolkit, is this a suitable tool for my issue ?....seems I could use it to flash a recovery for this phone which magically reverted to stock recovery .
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Hey folks, here I look forward to guide the Google Nexus S users of the XDA Community to go custom with their Samsung Nexus S. I shall try to put forth the most prevailing steps to make my way to your minds. Also I will use the fastboot method to accomplish custom during this entire guide. Before we put our hands on the device and begin with the instructions, I would like to state some general terms, for your ease. :good:
Terms & Understanding
* What is Bootloader and Why do we need to Unlock?
A bootloader is a boot initializing component which is generally locked by the device manufacturer to avoid any messing around with the OS. We need to unlock it for the same reason. Once unlocked it will allow us to change the boot sequence and modify the OS in accordance of our needs.
* What is Rooting?
It is a process of gaining root privileges over an Android subsystem. Rooting an Android device is easy in most cases. If you will to Install custom ROMs, kernels, other patches or addons to your Android device, rooting is what you will need. It can be achieved in two ways; either by manual method (using fastboot) or by automatic method (using toolkit or software) . Here, I am going to follow the manual method by using fastboot commands.
* ClockworkMod, what is it?
In short, CWM; It is a secondary recovery system created by Koush (Koushik Dutta), which adds enormous features like wiping partitions, flashing flash able .zip files like ROMs, kernels, patches etc to the stock AOSP recovery. Visit ClockworkMod website for more.
* What does Custom ROM means?
These are the aftermarket Android firmware which are not official supported by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). They are made available to the Android public by Android developers and contributors all around the world. Custom ROMs are either built from Google’s source code i.e AOSP (Android Open Source Project) or are modified versions of the device manufacturer’s ROM (Stock ROMs or Factory ROMs) with additional tweaks and extend functions which are not delivered with the Stock ROMs. Some of the popular Custom ROMs include CyanogenMod (CM), Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), MIUI, Codename Android (CNA), Oxygen, ParanoidAndroid and many more.
* What is Custom Kernel?
A Kernel is a bridge between the applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level, In simple words, it is the communication between the hardware and software of an Operating System. In Android world, Custom Kernels play a vital role since they provide the users with several features including changing CPU frequencies, modifying the boot sequence and boot scripts and other features too.
* What are Google Apps (Gapps)? The name speaks for itself. Gapps are Google apps for Android available in flash-able zip format. Most of these applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs. In some Custom ROMs, the Google Apps are included. These are usually stock ROMs, smaller or less-common ROMs, or those from areas where intellectual property laws are less commonly obeyed. But many AOSP ROMs, most famously CyanogenMod and AOKP, do not include the Google Apps due to licensing issues. They are after all proprietary code owned by Google and not included in the Android Open Source Project.
Disclaimer
Early necessary requirements
* At least 60% of battery to ensure no random shutdowns due to low battery.
* Backup your storage manually. Also your text messages and contacts using some backup app.
* Install Google and Samsung USB drivers from here
* A compatible USB data cable for undisturbed connection between PC and device.
* Enable USB Debugging in your device’s settings [Settings > Developer Settings > USB Debugging].
* A PC with Windows OS.
* Download Required files
* Extract the downloaded NexusS_files.zip to the desktop. So now you will have a folder named "NSFiles" on your desktop which beholds all the needed files during the process.
Please make sure to follow every single instruction mentioned during the guidelines. This will resist you from any mishaps during the process. Lets begin!
Unlock Bootloader
NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader will erase all the data on the phone as well as SD storage. So be sure to back everything up.
1. Reboot your Nexus S into bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen.
2. Connect your device to the PC via the USB data cable.
3. Open the extracted folder "NSFiles" that we have have on the desktop. On an empty space inside the folder, press shift and right click and then select "Open command prompt here". This will execute a new CMD window which is already cd'ed to the folder's location.
4. Type in CMD:
5.
6. You will now receive a message on the screen. Use the volume keys to highlight "Yes" and select it using the power button.
7. Your bootloader is now unlocked.
8. Highlight and select "Reboot" to reboot your device.
9. You have successfully unlocked your Nexus S bootloader.
Installing Custom Recovery
1. Reboot your phone into bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons altogether.
2. Connect it to the PC via USB data cable.
3. While in the "NSFiles" folder on your desktop, press shift + right click on an empty space and go to "Open command promopt here". This will execute a command window which is already cd'ed to your current location.
4. To Install ClockworkMod touch 6.0.1.0
Type in CMD:
5. To Install ClockworkMod non-touch 6.0.1.0
Type in CMD:
6. To Install TWRP 2.3.1.0
Type in CMD:
7. The CMD prompt will indicate when the flashing is complete, it barely takes a few seconds.
8. Do not exit the bootloader mode, since this is the way to boot into recovery.
9. Now to boot into your new custom recovery, highlight "RECOVERY" and select it using the power button.
Rooting the Nexus S
If you plan to use the stock (factory) ROM, it is preferable to root. Otherwise, all the Custom ROMs out there already have root access.
The mentioned process is recommended to carry out using ClockworkMod Recovery.
1. Download the latest SuperSU flash-able root package. [Chainfire's SuperSU Thread]
2. Power off your device and boot into the bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen. Highlight"RECOVERY" using the volume buttons and select it using the power button.
3. Now, your Nexus S is in recovery mode.
4. Go to "mounts and storage" > scroll to the very last and select "mount USB storage".
5. This will mount your device's storage to the PC.
6. Drag the downloaded "CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip" to the root of your storage.
7. Select "unmount" to exit the USB storage mode.
8. Go to "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > select the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip" you placed in the storage and flash it.
9. Once flashed, select "reboot system now"
.
You now have your device rooted. You can officially declare yourself as the true master of your device.
Install Custom ROMs
Installing a ROM is quiet a simple process, you can say that it is the easiest of all.
1. First, you need to choose a suitable ROM that meets your requirements.
2. Once you have chosen, download the ROM's .zip (flash able zip file) as provided by the Author/ Developer .
3. Also make sure to download specific Gapps and other add-on if provided by the developer himself. [If not, download generic Gapps from here]
4. Put the downloaded files to your SD storage either by using USB mass storage directly or by mounting USB storage in recovery mode.
5. Reboot your Nexus S into Recovery mode. Power off your device and boot into the bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen. Highlight"RECOVERY" using the volume buttons and select it using the power button.
* Using CWM:
wipe data/factory reset.
Go to "mounts and storage" > "format /system".
Go to "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > select your ROM .zip file that you placed in step #6. Flash it.
Gapps are the next to be flashed just after flashing the ROM. So, flash Gapps following the same way as the ROM. further if your are provided any add-on in a flash able zip format you can flash it the same way after flashing the ROM and Gapps successfully.
Once everything has flashed successfully, select "reboot system now".
* Using TWRP:
Go to "Wipe" > "System" and "Factory Reset".
Go to "Install" > choose the ROM .zip file and flash it.
Gapps are the next to be flashed just after flashing the ROM. So, flash Gapps following the same way as the ROM. further if your are provided any add-on in a flash able zip format you can flash it the same way after flashing the ROM and Gapps successfully.
When flashed, go to "Reboot" > "System".
Your phone will now boot into the custom ROM.
Install Custom Kernels
1. Download the flashable zip package of your desired Custom Kernel.
2. Connect your device to PC via USB cable in USB Storage Mode.
3. Drag the downloaded kernel zip package to the root of your device's storage.
4. Disconnect the device from PC.
5. Power off, now press the volume up button and the power button altogether until you see the bootloader screen. Use the volume keys to highlight "Recovery" and select it using the power button.
6. Your device shall now be in recovery mode.
* Flash using CWM:
"advanced" > "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
"install zip from sdcard" > choose zip from sdcard" > now browse and select the kernel zip package that you placed in your storage root during step #3.
Select "Yes".
Your Kernel will now flash to your OS and replace your current kernel.
When it has successfully flashed, select "reboot system now".
* Flash using TWRP:
"Wipe" > "Dalvik Cache"
"Install" > now browse and select the kernel zip package that you placed in your storage root during step #3.
Your Kernel will now flash to your OS and replace your current kernel.
When it has successfully flashed, go to "Reboot" and select "System".
You now have Custom Kernel installed on your Nexus S.
NOTE: Before choosing any Custom Kernel, do verify that the Kernel is meant to be flashed on your present Android OS version.
Congratulations! You shall now enjoy the full packed potential of your wonderful Nexus S.
If you have got any questions/ queries or you're stuck anywhere in the mid process, comment here. I will try my best and provide you an helping hand.

Enjoy your phone has been successfully installed MIUI7. In my opinion, you should move with the latest android and MIUI version it will fix your all bugs and the newly updated android has many new features that 7 does not have. If you have still an issue then you need to talk with a mobile developer or you should visit your nearest mobile service shop. Try to contact a web app development company that is also an expert in various mobile fields.
