CDMA and GSM NXS Threads...

Can the XDA Mods or whoever please please make 2 seperate threads for this. I have a SPRINT Nexus S and i want to root and put a good rom on my NXS but after reading and reading and reading, i realize the thread is meant for the Tmobile GSM version. I am seriously just done, im confused, i dont know what threads to even go by right now. I dont know what Recovery Console, Root Method, Files, Roms are even what i should be looking for at this point. I didnt even know that Tmobile has the nexus s. I work at a Sprint Corporate store and i thought we were the only one that has the Nexus S...
Can someone shed some light for me here??
I was pretty active with my Samsung Moment over at SDX and even posted some Write-ups on rooting, theming, installing roms for the moment. Now i have the nexus s and want to do the same but this is mind boggling now that im seeing people talking about the tmobile gsm version.

So if it says 4g then it for you. If not then don't flash it. Easy as pie.

What he said. Anything that pertains to sprint version will say so on title otherwise assume its for gsm version. There are plenty of stickies with ns4g noted on title with info on roms root methods etc.

not to mention i cant even post replies in any DEV thread asking if this thread/files are meant for the sprint nexus s.

I think they all clearly say what phone you can use it on.

i havent seen a thread title that had "sprint" in it. so is "ns4g" pertaining to the sprint version? because tmobile has a 4G network also

Yes, the T-Mobile version is just known as a Nexus S and the phone doesn't actually support the 4G radio. It will often be referred to as the i9020, i9023 and such.

Yes it is easy to figure out which threads are for which phone, but I agree with the OP that there should be a separate forum for the CDMA and GSM versions of the phone. Especially now that the CDMA version is catching on and more and more people are jumping on the NS4G bandwagon. I hope the mods listen and separate the 2. I love my fellow T-Mobile peeps and would miss them, but it needs to be done because I can see how it would be confusing for noobs especially.

tmobile has a 4G (3.5G cough) network but nexus S GSM does not support it. CDMA NS 4G from sprint does.
The actual names are also different in that respect:
Nexus S (T-mobile GSM)
Nexus S 4G (Sprint CDMA)
As you can see 4G is the only difference in the name hence the [4G] in most thread titles.

thanks for clearing things up, im not necessarily a noob..a noob to the xda forums yes. i got really into my moment on the sdx forums but FINALLY upgraded and sdx really has nothing. its looking like the process to root and install roms/kernels/kitchens are slightly different. im seeing everything done through adb where on my moment i just flashed the android opsys + recovery.tar with the samsung updater. threw the rom.zip, bootanimation.zip, themes and modded files/update/zips on the root of my sd and updated through recovery.
anyone have a stable rom you'll recommend? whats the difference between the CM Nightly and CM7?

There is no stable for crespo4G (NS4G) but nighly 7 runs just fine. You can get it here. I also use Netarchy's kernel found here Make SURE you get the universal if you are running CM7.
Now, for stock, there is nothing better than Pete's stuff here You can also flash Netarchy's kernel but this time, you need the other one which says "for stock".
Also, be careful with which kernel you flash. Netarchy's post has many links including the GSM NS. Also, be careful with any other ROMs. We've had a case of bad ones for NS4G.

Like everyone else has been saying, in the ROM title it will show NS4g, or CDMA, or sprint. I have been browsing the dev section and have no issues. As far as a stable rom I am using Opensoju 0.2.4 and it appears to be working quite well. Read through the rom threads and see all the comments and then pick one and try it. If it is not to your liking, try another. When I had my EVO I flashed roms 10 times a day haha. It gets addicting!

I see my voice has reached higher power and there is now 2 seperate parent threads. Nexus S and Nexus S 4G (sprint) .
Anyone clear up what the difference of CM7 and The nightlies version?

You really didn't know T-Mobile had this phone first? Ive been eyeing it since they got it.

new lg mytouch 4g root?

I know this isn't the lg mytouch thread, but there isn't one. I ordered 2 of these phones as a test order I couldn't cancel, but was pleasantly surprised at the solidness of the device. Very thin and light, and solid enough build quality. Screen is AMOLED sharp.
I need to use the hotspot therefore I need root. But it doesn't look like people even acknowledge the phone's existence.
any Ideas?

Which OS version is it running, to begin with?
If the bootloader isn't locked - you have a shot by using one of the temp-root methods and pushing Superuser.apk+su.
If the bootloader is preventing write access to /system partition - you'll need to wait until someone creates a method to unprotect the /system. And it might take a lot of time...

Runs 2.3.4
No way really to tell if it's unlocked bootloader. Superoneclick and gingerbreak didn't work

2.3.4 can only be temp-rooted by fr3vo.

I am kinda new to this but would this work on totally different phone I mean yes the original HTC Glacier AKA MyTouch 4G and HTC Vision AKA G2 were kinda the same both made by HTC but these phones the LG MyTouch and LG MyTouch Q are totally different and besides the LG MyTouch do not have a 2.2.1 rom out there, also I do read this thread so I do thank you for the help earlier but I just want to clarify if it will work on ANY 2.3.4 rom thanks again

It can't be said for sure - since nobody tried it yet. But it works on other chipsets - fr3vo was originally made for Evo 3D and Sensation. So, since no harm can be done by trying it (the worst you can get is having to reboot the phone), why not to try?

Instructions for rooting the LG MyTouch and MyTouch Q can be found here:

Lol. You posted these same questions on Android Central. At least that was in the right forum.
Without a custom kernel there aren't a lot of options with setcpu to save battery. What are your available governors?
One thing you might do to save battery while the phone is asleep is make a sleep profile that locks the max somewhere between 300 and 400 mhz (if possible).

[Q] What are the steps to install custom ROMs in this phone?

Hello all, I've been tweaking with my Xperia Arc and Samsung Galaxy S2 for 3 months now, but a friend of mine asked me to install a new ROM to his Inspire.
It's currently on stock. I found a nice ROM thread and read that it needed the "Radio S-Off" and I don't understand what that means.
I know I'll be able to flash the cwm, and unlock the bootloader (hopefully) but that one kept me guessing. Thanks in advance!

The steps are: Root the phone. Install Recovery. Flash custom ROM.
If you don't know what that means or how to do either of those steps, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at this point. All the information you need is already available in these threads. Do your research.

Research!! Each ROM thread the developer shows you how to flash them. There are also specific threads that teach you how in development section. Do not attempt anything with your buddies phone if you don't know what your doing or you may end up buying him a new phone.
Research and study!!!Reasearch and study!!! I myself searched and searched for weeks before I attempted anything on my phone.

Read the entire effin manual more than 3 times if you need to. There is a quiz at the end. Make sure that you are in the correct thread for your phones. You have posted this on the inspire thread.

Thanks all, lol I know guys! Geez, I did my research as soon as I asked this, just sometimes asking its part of researching for me buut it's done, thanks to someone who pointed me to Ace kit on pm and here! And yes, I read the effen manual 5 times. Although Ace kit it's pretty clear and easy. I found out that this phone in particular it's bit of a different work around than my other phones(Arc, S2). I flashed him Android Revolution HD ROM and it's pretty cool, although too stockish for my liking. Thanks again guys.

Getting 4G on Skyrocket using T-Mobile

So I'm new to all this root stuff and what not and yes I have searched but all of them just say flash this radio do cwm do this and do that. But I don't know how to do that because I'm new so it would really help me if you could guide me through the process of getting 4G on my Skyrocket. Right now I am in version 2.3.5 Android, rooted and that's it. Thank you guys!

Skyrocket lacks the 1700Mhz band so previously it wouldn't have worked on T-mobile 4G (3G-extend)
But the New 4G band (1900Mhz), I'm not sure it would work or not.
(Some articles said that you can flash t-mobile's radio to active it.)
Just make sure you had an unlocked one.
And try to CWM it!

I do have an unlocked Skyrocket using it on T-Mobile right now but only getting edge. I unlocked it with an unlock code from eBay. But how could I CWM it? And what is that? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

The only possible way I could see this working would be if the partitions were resized to that of the P990 which would make sense why the radio doesn't work. The baseband is unknown so its not the sim. Don't get your hopes up guys.

your SIM doesnt work because the RIL for the P990 is different than the P999. also, this ROM may of been modified to work with the P999 partition structure.

So maybe you should type up very carefully, step by step what you did. All i got out of your posts is that you have a p990 rom, running on a p999 and that you did it using a cwm made for the p990. You also mentioned something abt dual boot..... Im confused and i think some others are too. Plz explain what you did. Im not trying to hate, im just trying to understand. Thanks.
