[DUMP] Nexus S System Dump

Here is a dump of the Nexus S system.
Bout all you can really get atm, as they have no root, no custom recovery, etc.
Thanks to k0mpresd for this.
http://efragtv.com/android/nexus/system.tar.gz
Have fun

Not sure what can really be pulled from it, if anything can, but I'm going to download & give it a shot anyway

Meh, it's there for anyone who cares to get anything from it
Problem is they don't have root and whatnot yet, so it hinders getting much of anything else from it.
And of course, no source doesn't help

[REQ] Can someone post a ROM easy to install for a ROOT SR? Like, DFT or something?

When I had HTC I just installed ROM's with a DFT (Dark Force Team) easy to run and install, can I have something like that for my Skyrocket? I don't know about kernals and that hard stuff to do .. even step by step I found that a little confusing and Im scared to brick something!!

There arent many roms available yet only this http://briefmobile.com/alien-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-att which is alienrom and going to be the easiest for you too install withbout messing with kernels you said your rooted so you have cwm recovery correct? Put this on your sd card boot into cwm wipe data wipe.cache wipe.davikik cache 3 times each then install zip from sd card. Very simple

Your good intent aside, if you post your response with clear English then it may get a better response. I had trouble reading anything you said.
It only takes two seconds to use a spell checker and correct punctuation.
You might start with your signature.
With that said, I hate it when people don't say "thanks" when someone tries to help.

Ok, let's say something INTERESTING... I'm a advance user, I just was asking for a easy ROM install, if you don't have the answer or you are not polite... bye then.
Really, this forum is full of good people with good intentions... be part of them! Be polite, cool, good, and bring a smile always !

you say you are 'a advanced user' but you dont know what CWM is....you need to read up on the terminology used here.
you are likely to brick your device by not understanding what you are doing. this website isnt a 'make your device cool' site. its a learning tool for devs/hackers/enthusiasts to learn and share ideas and work. if you dont comprehend what you are doing, then you dont need to be hacking on your device.

Also xda can be entertainment i get alot of laughs reading some posts on here..... and that advances my good mood.

Accidentally deleted data folder

Hello,
Couldn't find any solution in the forum.
My friend accidentally deleted data folder on sd card on his HTC Incredible. Now his phone is not going to boot at all. Are there easy ways to resolve this?
I have a little experience in rooting, flashing roms on my Desire Z. But feeling a bit scary to perform this with another phone.
Would appreciate any help.
UPDATE : I asked him again, now I'm not sure what exactly he has deleted. He is far from IT person, and unlikely that he has rooted phone or made something like that, that is why I guessed that he just deleted something from sd card. Let me try to explain behaviour of the phone:
When the phone is starting to boot, it at first shows htc screen, then screens on the pictures, then phone just freezes.
Holding Volume Down button with Power button allows to see menu, but then trying to boot recovery or just boot makes same thing as above, Trying to make Factory reset just freezes phone on the menu window.
ANY GUESS WHAT IT MIGHT BE? OR WHAT IS THE BEST THING I CAN DO?
UPD2: My friend deleted some apps (processes with names starting com...) from All applications menu in Settings in HTC Sense.

If he has a recent Nandroid backup then he can just flash that and let it rebuild what it needs to. Otherwise you can S-Off and root his phone, then install a custom or stock ROM as you like.
You will find more help in the HTC Incredible or HTC Incredible S forums, depending on exactly what model phone your friend has.

I think deleting any folder on sd card never cause this type of serious problem...
Unless and unless you screw in system files or boot files of your device this happens..
And as we all know that all these critical files stored in device memory so deleting anything on memory card never do this..
Just inquire him he must screwed up something in root directory of device..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

maybe your friend deletes data folder in which is in the internal storage.
maybo you can access you phone after a full wipe.

My suggestion is to restore with a NANDROID or flash a ROM.

Just full wipe! The data partition doesn't affect the rom, because rom is in system partition. The only problems are mismatches of data. Full wipe to assure the system "knows about your forced data wipe".

just updated the post
Thanks for reply to everyone!
I've updated the post. You can find more details now. I cannot perform anything because I cannot boot anything.
Hope you can help, will wait for your kind replies before making any radical steps.

In that case, I would recommend flashing your kernel anew.
If it doesn't help, you could try to flash a stock firmware. If this didn't help, I would probably visit a repair shop.
Hope it helped, best of luck

As I wrote I cannot boot into recovery.
Can I flash kernel or rom using my laptop if the phone is not going to boot into recovery mode?
Repair shop is asking too much. I want to know could I do it by myself, with your help, of course.

Now that clarified it all. Of course you can flash it anew... Even in the worst situation your phone could be in, you can always flash kernels and firmwares!!!

Assuming the rooting process is same or simillar to Desire HD u could use hack ace tool to downgrade to stock rom, root and install cwm recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom.
You can find a third party site link in this thread (marvin02's post):

Rooted and Unlocked

Basically I am happy with the stock ROM but would like to get rid of the "fluff" that's there. Also want to theme I think. Anyway, What should I be looking for if I do the ROM? I am a 3 year past user of iPhone and had it jailbroke, so now I am reading and learning about Android.
The things that really matter to me are:
GPS applications
Photo Applications
Organization without the bloat
Any advice?

Clean Rom
Thanks everyone. Sounds like that would be a good one for me but I will do some research on it first though. A few questions though, on the iPhone JB's it is pretty much a one click affair with the addition of tweaking and daemon removals for speed and such. How does one mount the ROM, do I navigate to a folder and drag it in (PC) or? BTW I am doing the research on this.
Also, how do I tell whether I have twrp recovery or CMW?

This guide works pretty well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

It takes a while to read through all the steps, and don't forget the backup steps at the top before section 1.

Well for beginners you picked the right Device, and welcome to the good side.
Recoveries are kinda user preference. TWRP is touch screen / CWM is button operated. Both work good.
You know what recovery your on but the one you flash.
Do alot of reading and Enjoy !

Reading through this guide I think I understand that you must update SuperUser before proceeding. If that's true where in the app is there an option to do so? I sure don't see it playing with the menus.

Also get familiar with how to put your phone in download mode and use Odin to restore to stock just in case something should go wrong and turn your phone into a paperweight.

I am reading about Odin as we type. Lots to remember on Android. Wish there was a one click for all this...lol, but I will learn I suppose/hope. I like that the Clean Rom keeps the stock ROM for now. I think that will help me understand what a ROM accomplishes.

Its preety easy once you use it a few times. To restore just have the factory image. And choose it on the PDA option in Odin and flash away!!! No more annoying iTunes errors when trying to mess with a jail broken iPhone or when trying to downgrade it. I do miss many of the games though

One clicks are great until something goes wrong. And when something inevitabley does go wrong you are up a Creek without a paddle since you have no idea quite exactly what the one click did.
Look at droidstyles guide. That will teach you how to do essentially everything with this phone. Just make sure you always verify that anything you flash is for the USA gs3 Verizon.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda premium

Do your reading and read everything twice! Make sure you unlock your bootloader, and verify that you only flash files for the Verizon version of the phone!
Rooting is similar in some ways to Jailbreaking, but gives you significant more control. Rooting is simple, but it is only the first step if you want to flash custom ROMs, kernels, themes, etc.
Once you flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and start flashing things through Recovery, you are doing way more than you ever did with Jailbreak.

I already have ROM manager on my phone. Today I ready about and installed Titanium Backup Pro. I've been getting rid of bloatware with it and doing back ups. Don't Rom Manager and Titanium Backup do essentially the same thing?
What do you do with "kernels" anyway?

[Q] Help ASAP! Might have bricked Galaxy S3

Hey I'm pretty new to rooting, and I think I might have seriously f'd this one up.
I actually did the root just fine, no troubles with that. I just ran something called saferoot, verified the root and actually made a backup with Titanium (on my PC now). After that, I used an app EZ-Unlock which told me my bootloader was successfully unlocked.
Now comes the rough part. I got ROM Manager and used it to install ClockWork Mod. I hit "Make backup with CWM" it shut down my phone, and now I can't get it to boot at all.
I could really use some help ASAP here, I need the phone. Thanks guys

Someone wanted me to help with an S2 root, their TouchWiz got corrupted. I think 4.1.2, that's fine right?

Yeah the s2 should be fine....should be but read up. The Verizon s3, specifically the 4.3 ota is the problem. They locked it down real good. Anything before the 4.3 ota would've been fine. Sorry
Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...

Thanks man. I found an explanation of how to do it online so I thought it was gonna work, but I guess not everyone can be trusted. Read through a tutorial on the cyanogen mod wiki for the S2, seems like it'll be fine.
That debrick fix isn't working...I have a year insurance on this, am I better off throwing this at the wall? Getting a replacement without them knowing it was being changed?
