[Q] Official rom number?

Hi all
I just got my Nexus S from UK this week and i can see there is a few around that got android 2.3.3. So my question i am still on 2.3.1 and can't get any updates on the updater on the phone so is there something wrong or is it just a slow process to get the updates out?

I had the same issue but I manually updated using info on here. Search for it and you'll find it no probs.

Android update

Does anyone have the leaked update file so I can download without having a data connection on my cell phone? I had to get the leaked update for my Asus but now they have the official on their site. Hoping someone has the att update file so I can do the same.

Here it is as it showed up in my /sdcard/Download/ directory, but I don't know how you can force it to update without going through the actual OTA process.

No. It is an edify type update that contains a PD98IMG type update inside (called firmware.zip).
Even though it is an edify type update, it won't install from recovery unless you hack out some of the ASSERT checks (since recovery doesn't have all the getprop values that a running system has).

Would it be possible to pull the information from the update part, and convert it to a hbkot update.
Just curious, if we were able to, id post it in the guide for easy reference.

How do you put the Inspire 4G into recovery mode? My Asus I can hold down the volume down key and power button to get a specific menu my Inspire doesn't.

You're doing it wrong somehow then because that is exactly how you do it on the Inspire. Make sure fastboot is off in the settings though (Settings->power->fast boot).

Not really. This update contains a number of "patch" files that use a method of updating files in-place by applying a patch that just replaces the parts of the file that changed. It's like a diff file is for text files, but it's binary. The only way I know of to apply these is through edify commands (or manually patching them on a PC first with bsdiff, see: http://linux.die.net/man/1/bsdiff).

How do I reinstall Android 2.3.4 from 2.4?

Device: Nexus S
Carrier: Telus
Country / Language: Canada English
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): OS 2.4, Model: GT-I9020A
Build number: full_crespo-eng 2.4 GINGERBREAD 142 test-keys
My phone was sent in for service and returned with a version of android 2.4 with troubleshooting applications installed.
The problem now is I cannot access the android marketplace with the phone which means I cannot install anything.
I need to either reinstall android 2.3.4 or be able to access the marketplace
Thanks!

There are guides in the development section. You need to unlock the bootloader then flash a rom of your choosing.I would call them up and complain before you attempt that. You should get something for that inconvenience.

If it's anything like the instances of this that have come up before, it's just an earlier debug build bug of Gingerbread before it was versioned to 2.3.X

[Q] Anyone how to fix calling issue with newly rooted phoen

I just rooted my phone and loaded eaglesblood 2.3.8 and now whenever i call all i hear is a clicking noise. I updated my baseband use getRIL and checked my sim card it works on other phones. What is weird is my 4g internet works and i can call using wi-fi calling but i just can't call anyone normally. My phone has essentially become a tablet.

GetRIL only updates your RIL, not your baseband. The only way to update baseband using either OTA update or LG tool/KDZ method. What is your current baseband (settings/about phone)?
It is a known issue with the latest baseband (11 March 2012), if you're on the this baseband you will only be able to use it with 2.3.4 ROM.

Currently only kwes1020 rom in dev section works with the March 2012 BB. Flash that.

Thanks for the help, and out of curiosity would an Ics rom work and if yes which one would you recommend. The one with most functionality.

He said "only" as in... no other roms

Network/Signal Issue

Friend says he tried to root his g2x, now it's running 2.2.2 (which is a verison of andriod i'm not familiar with) and he has no signal and is unable to connect to any wireless network.
Also, when i search for networks, it pops up with both tmobile and att, but, as far as i know, the phone is not network unlocked.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Is he running a p990 rom on a p999 or vise versa? That would cause some issues...
Pin it to Win it.

I know very little about this phone, what kernel and build should it be running stock?

He just has to make sure he's running the from for the right phone. If he's running a 2x rom on a g2x that can cause problems. Also might be a baseband issue? Not sure on that one as I never even bothered with 2.2.2 or don't know if they have 2.2.2 roms lol

Does his phone say T-Mobile on the top?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

yes it's a tmobile lg p999, but i'm not sure which rom he's running. from the research i've done, it looks like his baseband has been changed from what it was running stock. but i'm not entirely sure how to reset the baseband, he already did a factory reset, but the baseband remains altered. are there any other threads where i can find out how to reset the baseband?

Please go to Settings > About Phone and report back the following for us:
Android Version
Baseband Version
ROM version (mine is third from bottom, says CyanogenMod Version and then the build info under it)
If this is too confusing I can send a picture or the settings screen.

Android 2.2.2
Baseband M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1
Kernel 2.6.32.9

That baseband is the March 2012 baseband. He needs to have 2.3.4 or another rom that supports the new baseband. Try loading up the newest cm7 and see what happens.
