this has gotton significantly worse....is there any fix to this? Im currently stock. Does rooting fix? plz help
This is due to the radio on your phone, it's really bad in up here in Canada from what I have read, if you root your phone and use KB3 it will quit doing that, at lease it has stopped on both of my phones, seems it only happens in bad service areas.
What search button bug?
I got my Nexus from Canada and had the same problem.
Like the other dude said, rooting and flashing a ROM is the only way around it. You won't have any problems after that.

well i like the stock rom on the nexus do you think i could root and then just disable the search button to do nothing? ALso, i'd love to do a new radio but i screwed up my first phone that i had once by doing something wrong and now i have somehwat of a fear of flashing radios.

Can't disable that button, the radio is fairly safe to flash on this phone. I do it lots, best thing to do is download the radio, and get the md5 hash and if that matches you're golden.

Oh ya, when you root you don't have to change from your stock rom.

You want to get kb3 that one seems to fix it. You will flash it with clockwork after you root.

Edit, link didn't work out from the app.
ok so just to be very clear, first i root the phone (no new rom). Then i just put the zip file onto the root of the sd card, and go into fast boot or whatever its called, select from sd and flash it? is it as simple as that?

You will unlock it with adb, install clockwork mod, then su to root it, then yes, just put the radio on your sdcard and flash it through clockwork mod. Make sure you know the model of your phone to, it's under battery.
This is the md5 hash I get for the KB3 radio under the "Radio for I9020a/I9020T/I9023" heading.
4e9c9cf4d6470be800e00f8508b9c175 Radio Nexus S [XXKB3].zip
Just to double check if your paranoid, download the Radio and a md5 checker and if your numbers match mine your good.
see what you just said there confused the hell outta me lol....what do u mean flash radio with the clockwork mod? And those numbers im not sure what that meant

Read the stickies.
Quick primer:
After you get root, you can replace the recovery partition of your phone with clockworkmod. That's the "flash recovery" part. This gives you a pre-boot working environment that lets you flash ZIP files (ROMs, kernels, boot animations, radio images, etc), make backups, wipe data, etc. Using clockwork recovery you can flash a new radio firmware which apparently fixes the problem.

Clockwork Mod is the recovery you will install when you go to root your device, the numbers is the md5 hash, when you download a file you can check the md5 to see if it is corrupt in any way.
umm ok i rooted via one click root mechanism....how do i apply zip from sd card now? i dl'd rom manager and flashed clockwork mod. Now what
Shut down your phone, hold up volume and press and hold power button until you see a screen with your phone info, then use volume key to select recovery and hit power button to select it. You should be in clock work then, go to install zip from sd card

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but rooting and/or flashing a radio will not solve this issue.
What you are describing is a known issue and it is a hardware defect. The touch buttons sometimes incorrectly register a long-press and execute long-press behavior. It affects different buttons on different phones. On phones where the search button is affected, you see long-press behavior of voice search opening. On my phone, back button is affected, so I see long-press of back button behavior. It seems to stop after ten seconds. And sometimes home button is affected, and I see the "recent apps" screen appear.
You can read about the issue here:

Maybe you should do some more reading. The radio will fix it.

I've seen devs mention to flash a radio from Hboot and Fast boot before. Are these terms synonymous? Fast boot is accessed from Hboot correct? I've flashed a radio a few times, but never understood the terminology. A PD98IMG is always flashed the same way from what I understand.
More or less correct. HBoot flashing is done with the PD98IMG.zip on the SDcard. PD98IMG.zip can contain any number of images to be flashed. Fastboot flashing is done using the fastboot.exe and can flash a single image.

I've never quite understood what the advantage is to fastboot flashing. Then again, I've never truly understood fastboot in general.
Something I definitely need to do more reading on.
I've tried several times, and several methods to flash my radio to the 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio img. And nothing seems to be working. My best guess is its user error. I'm a noob and trying to learn how to flash my radio. I currently have the 12.39.30.19P-26.06.04_M with the TPGB-Ninja_0618 ROM and [email protected] #28 kernel.
I've done the method where i go into adb to access bootloader, then i flash the radio.img then reboot the phone and that doesnt work. I've tried running the radio.img though CWM and that didn't work.
If I power off my phone and then hold power and -vol down to get into the bootloader it automatically will go into hboot and start to run through the PD98IMG.zip. I'm wondering.
Do I need that .zip folder on my sdcard forever or can I get rid of it?
Also, can I just switch out radio.img in the PD98IMG.zip with the new radio.img?
Can I do the above question without having all the other .img 's in the .zip folder?
I've done some research, but haven't found my answers, or was able to fix my problem.
So hopefully someone can help me.
Please be gentle with me, I'm new to this type of thing, but a fast learner.
Thanks in advance

Assuming the PD98IMG.zip containing the radio flashes properly, you can remove it afterwards.
Have you checked out the inspire only radio thread in the dev section, yet?
There's already a ready-to-flash PD98IMG.zip for the radio you want to flash on that thread.
Download it from that thread, verify the MD5 checksum, plop it in the root directory of your SD card, reboot into hboot/bootloader, once it finds the PD98IMG.zip, confirm the update, and away you go.
Ok I'll try that as soon as I get to my computer. Thanks for the reply and I'll let you know how it goes.

Just don't forget to check that MD5. I have had incomplete (meaning...BAD) radio downloads on a solid WiFi connection, so it DOES happen from time to time.

Couple of things. 1) Be sure to give the radio long enough to "warm up"...I'ave had it take several hours after flashing before I started getting decent speeds from a radio I know works. 2) It is usually recommended to keep a copy of your radio flash on your SD card in case you need it (GPS fail, etc., ) so you can reflash if you are away from a PC, but not keep it in the root of your SD. It's very possible to end up in a continuous boot loop until you somehow either get the file off your root (SD card reader) or fool the phone into thinking it isn't there by pulling the SD card when you pull the battery to recover (I've only heard the last trick works)...

You've also made sure you have the appropriate RIL for the new radio you flashed, correct? That radio thread also has the RILs + info about them, as well.
Also try rebooting more than once after flashing a radio/ril, just for good measure.
When I first flashed the 04_11_M2 radio, I had only rebooted once, as a result of the flashing process. Once my phone was done loading up, I received my first call with it, the caller couldn't hear me, but I could hear them. Caller tried calling back. Same thing. I decided to give it another flash and reboot. I called that person back, and it was working, never experienced that since.
Coincidence? Who knows? But radios are weird, quirky things that seem to need a little "voodoo" type flashing/rebooting to kick them in, I suspect.
Well I think I found out why I'm getting these speeds. My radio has a "P" and not a "U" like in meiguoguizi's sig. I have the same radio as that (number wise) but he has a "U" and not a "P".
The radios that I can flash have an "x" in that place so won't that just mean it will switch to whatever letter my data is running on?
I think I found out why I am having this problem.
I can flash the radio.
I can flash the RIL.
But I have a "P" where the "U" is supposed to be to represent the HSUPA speeds.
If thats the the reason then I don't know.

I think that U/P thing is determined by one of the settings in the build.prop file. I know it's been discussed before, I just don't recall the details. If you visit the "editing the build.prop file" thread in the dev section, or possibly amongst the comments in the inspire radio thread, I think you might find the specifics in one of those places.
Or browse through henrybravo's posts, I think I remember him explaining it to someone.
Bottom line is that you have the same radio, it's just a setting that's determining the connection type and as a result, that letter changes, depending on that setting.

First, try another re-flash of the radio.

Yes the x is a placeholder (remember your algebra).
Open he's right. You have to flash the Riley that goes with the radio and then reboot twice. Make sure you are using the best radio for your Rome.

Well, there are two different S-OFFs (I mentioned them above). Go into bootloader (volume down + power, make sure you disabled fastboot or take out the battery) to check.

Crap, I misunderstood your question. If you have it on your card, then yes, you can just flash it normally (also read my first post)

ok so i booted it that way and it basically found, and updated it for me. Thank you!!! Looks like it was Ship S-off?? I was trying from clockwork before. Hmm. I don't know if there's a simple answer.. But whats the difference?

Clockwork is the recovery... the other way is via fasboot. Type it on google its the easy way of learning. Have fun with flashing roms...
You don't flash a radio from recovery.
File must be named PG58IMG.zip. No other name will be ok.
Next, do a MD5 check, because a corrupt file will brick your phone. Correct MD5 should be posted st the source. There are a few ways to check, buy the easiest is with Astro. Long press on the file, then select "details". In a few seconds MD5 will appear. Check it against source.
If ok then make sure it your PG58IMG.zip is on the root of your SD card.
Boot into bootloader (not recovery). It should ask if you want to update. Press the volume up to accept. Wait until update is done. Don't press any keys. Don't pull the battery. If you do, you're out $600.
Reboot, and enjoy your new radio. Make sure you don't leave the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your card, phone will constantly try to update.
You should then load the matching RIL. That should be a flash in recovery, but you have to mount system before you flash, and unmount it before you reboot.
P.
So here's the situation. I've been running NoSensi 1.0.4 ROM w/o problems for the past month but all of a sudden tonight my phone started to freeze up. I would take the battery out and turn it back on but after a few minutes the phone would freeze up again. So I decided to try to flash the new version on NoSensi (1.0.8) and the first step was to flash the NoSensi_EXT4_Wipe and it was almost complete in CWM when it froze up and wouldn't respond. Waited a few more minutes to be sure it wasn't just taking a while so I took the battery out and went back into recovery. In CWM, I see the menu options but when I try to select install from SD, the CWM menu would reset every few seconds and leave me at the main screen.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that won't boot cause I don't have a proper ROM on and can't install a new ROM cause CWM is messed up.
Any ideas on how I can reinstall CWM or something?
First off, can you boot to hboot? And next do you have adb set up on your PC or Mac?
I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't really help you all the way but can give you the things you need to get started. And if anyone reads this and knows more about this please help thanks

I built a recovery PD98IMG for a user yesterday. It is the recovery I've been using since I rooted. It is v3.0.2.5 with offmode power mod, but It doesn't have any EXT4 support (don't get me started on EXT4).
CWM Recovery v3.0.2.5 in PD98IMG format:
http://hoxnet.com/droid/PD98IMG_cwmrecovery.zip
Rename to exactly "PD98IMG.zip" and place it on the root (top level directory) of your sdcard, then boot to HBOOT and it should pick it up and prompt you to install.
I'm worried that there may be some hardware problem with your device if it keeps freezing up like that. It might just be a loose battery or loose sim holder, but it might be worse. I'd try to install a stock RUU just to be sure. You can install this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191793
It is completely stock and you'll lose root, but not S-OFF so re-rooting is easy. You can instead, install my rooted version of this ROM too. Identical to stock except that the system and boot images are properly rooted and busybox is installed:

HTC warranties the device for a year. I don't think any Inspire is a year old yet so you might want to call them first. Even if not covered by warranty, HTC is pretty reasonable on repairs.

So I tried reverting back to stock via the PD98IMG method with both the gingerbread and complete stock in the post you mentioned. Both them it updates fine but on the reboot it just hangs on the white htc screen. Any recommendations? Would HTC warranty if it's stuck like that?
It sounds like a hardware problem to me. The first and most obvious sign that a phone has been rooted is the S-OFF in the HBOOT screen. They probably won't warranty it if this is still set. Unfortunately, you need a functioning phone to get to the point that you can re-apply S-ON. I'm really not sure what advice I can give you at this point.

Missing CWM / No Recovery
Through a long string of mistakes, I'm stuck with an Inspire that will not load Recovery (just get black screen with phone icon and red exclamation point).
This thread was the best match I could find. I used the method above (renamed Gene Pool's file to PD98IMG.zip, placed on SD root), but HBOOT does not seem to find it during the startup scan.
Here is what I've got:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
I've tried 2 different SD cards - I got into this mess because radio updates were not being found in PD98IMG.zip files either, so feel like its an HBOOT problem.
Any ideas?

This thread was the best match I could find. I used the method above (renamed Gene Pool's file to PD98IMG.zip, placed on SD root), but HBOOT does not seem to find it during the startup scan.
Here is what I've got:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
I've tried 2 different SD cards - I got into this mess because radio updates were not being found in PD98IMG.zip files either, so feel like its an HBOOT problem.
Any ideas?

If you are sure you renamed it correctly (Windows didn't mangle the name with its stupid "hide extensions" feature) and you are S-OFF, then the only other thing it could be is a bad or weak SD Card. Do you have a spare to try?
I solved this. Figured it was not reading my SD cards so I reformatted one (FAT32), redid everything, and was able to re-flash CWM. Bizarre, since the same card has been used successfully several times on this phone.

Please search....
There was no reason for you to root without first reading everything. Also there was no reason to root if your not good with phones or computers....just sayin. Please search.

Wow man best advice is the one given above. I searched for weeks for all issues before I tempted to root. Then days for the issues on custom ROMs. As well as radios. I dont bother with anything else but those. I would say get the rooted ATT ROM (PD98IMG) file, pull battery out of phone then put back, then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power button at same time. If phone goes to bootloader it will recognize the PD98IMG zip and load it. it will ask if you want to install, just hit volume up for yes and it will do its thing. I couldn't find the page for the ROM so I loaded mine to megaupload it includes the radio -26.10.04.03_M. If you find it in Development Section dont forget to THANK the developer, I TAKE NO CREDIT FO IT. Just place zip file in root of phone micro sd card (not in a folder). (I always use the gold card I made to root the phone). You may have to take card out of phone and use adapter to place zip in itthen put back into phone. AS ALWAYS ON HERE FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
AGAIN AS ADVICED ABOVE " RESEARCH" before anything.

If rooted use this method if not rooted try Lordpipa's method below.
PD98IMG is not a ROM, it's a radio file. Incorrectly telling him to flash this may brick his phone. Be sure you know what you're talking about before you post help.

He is talking about the s-on stock method. And yes he could do this and then try the hack kit. Then boot into recovery and flash cm7. Maybe it was a bad flash. But yes he should search, for the above info, but remember this is q/a. We were all noobs, and still have lots to learn.

Just a fyi...a PD98ING file is not always a radio file. Naming a file that's tells hboot to flash that file.
Splash screen downloads are named that as well. But back to what I said before. Please search.

Dude the PD98 zip file I put up is Pooles rooted ATT ROM with the .03 Radio. I know what I uploaded on here. So when I put something on here I know what Im putting up. I would not tell someone to flash something I dont know what it is. So please as adviced here SEARCH-SEARCH-SEARCH as I did.
Sorry, my bad. I didn't read your post thoroughly, plus I had radio files on the brain.

No problem
So I've updated my i9020A to 4.0.4 (official) downloaded on XDA and flashed over 2.3.6 stock. Worked fine and everything but I'm always getting low signal bars (none or one, two).
Using this radio (was updated with the OTA): I9020AUCKJ1
Is there another radio I should use or anyone with same device and similar issues?
Thanks!
Anyone? I can't open CWM with the OTA. When I flash it, after a reboot, it's gone and a "dead"droid appears on bootloader screen.. this never happened before

It happens cause the stock rom restores the recovery every time you reboot the phone.
If you want to stick with stock flash for example Brainmaster's stock ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569796
1 - Flash CWM from Fastboot
2 - Mount SD card from Recovery
3 - Put the rom in the SD card
4 - Flash it
If you don't mind about stock, you can use AOKP/CM9, etc with the same procedure:
1 - Flash CWM from Fastboot
2 - Mount SD card from Recovery
3 - Put the rom in the SD card
4 - Flash it
About the radio, you should search in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Search for opinions about the best radio for your area, or try to see if you get better signal with one of them.
Rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to something else, or delete it. When you flash recovery one more time it will stick.
As for your radio issue, i'm unsure as i don't have the 850Mhz band on mine.

Good guy Harbb, always giving useful hints
I actually remembered that he could delete a file to prevent the recovery from flashing, just didn't remembered witch one ahaha

I've said it (and deleted it) enough times that it's stuck with me Can also turn that file into a custom script if you don't have init.d support in your rom/kernel combo.
