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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

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.

kexec bootloader bypass

User Kholk says he has a working bootloader bypass for the GSM razr, which basically allows him to run a unsigned kernel on the razr, which has a locked bootloader, it works, but still loading the motorola bootloader and kernel, but after booting the stock bl and kernel, it bypasses them and boots again in a unsigned custom kernel. here is the razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519448 and here is a thread about talks of porting it to the droid 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594406&page=3 . if they port it to the droid 3 id say there is a good chance it could be ported to the atrix 2 and other similar moto devices.
This basically wont be much different that having a fully unlocked bootloader XD and will lead to easier AOSP based rom development, and of course allow for custom kernels to be loaded !!!

We already have e memebr here that is working on the port and as soon as he gets permission will get it to us

I'm not being rude I swear I'm just wondering why only one person can can work this port at a time, isn't it kinda the more minds the faster it goes? I'm sure there is some red tape or a good decent reason I'm just curious...

I wasn't saying you couldnt work on it, I was just stating that we have a memeber here who has been working on it and probably has it ready to release, he is just waiting for Kholk to release it and word that he can relaease it.
Just trying to save some of you some time, thats all

Kholk released it today, for razr, but cpu1 (2nd core) still isnt working, but its something XD

AT&T put extra security measures in the a2.those are making the kexec bypass much harder to implement on our phone.the member working on it is working closely with kholk,embeem and others to get this done.

Oh OK I see I was just making sure it wasn't rude to try on my own... thank u

does it mean:
compile a kexec module and install it after booted, and change kernel while system running. is this right?

thank you,

How long???
I have 15 days left before I can return my Atrix 2. I truly despise this POS device because of the lack of an open bootloader. That is my fault for not checking on here before I bought it. My questions is, should I just return it or is an unlocked bootloader on the horizon, (3 weeks or so. Heh heh). Thanks.

As far as the bootloader goes we'll call it even odds on being unlocked eventually. However I have spoken with the developer working on kexec for the A2 and it is nearly ready. He's just got a couple of issues to work out before releasing it to everyone. Don't give up a2 owners,hope is on the horizon!

Am I beating a dead horse..... This seems to be the answer same bootloader as raz should be able to get something going.....

If you take a look in the bootloader unlock thread, I posted a link to grab the one Kholk released. I worked on this for months, and tested it and compiled and worked with these guys and on my own.... But Kholk has released it, and it has been tested and it is working, but we now need a kernel. I am working on releasing my CM7 kernel and build here very soon.

Cyanogen mod????

Every other good phone has it...even the ones with locked BL like defy......
Come on guys..we have one of the best phones .....atrix 2 aint bull****...if not everything then maybe CM would atleast make most of us happy......be a team ..if not many then atleast one awsomely working CM ....i dont want samsung or htc....look at them ..brick bug or touch issues or battery backup........we have no issues except BL ......

I dont know anything...but its a harsh truth that moto wont unlock bootloader..

Locked boot loader means NO CM7/9.
PERIOD.
Whatever the defy boys have is probably some half-arsed hacked port.

Do a search... we already have done something similar, it is slow, and not worth it, since we don't have space on the internal storage to put the 2nd ROM, so it MUST go on the SDcard.
It was abandoned due to the fact that it was so slow it was unusable. Besides there are many of us that have been working to get CM7 and CM9 working from a port without success.... but you are more than welcome to jump in and lend a hand, we have a post in the dev section about it for aokp and CM9.

Do you mean as in a multi boot?
The Defy I had, I flashed a defy+ sbf too then plonked cm9 on, no 2nd rom/boot or such.
My understanding was that the purpose of 2nd init was to hijack the init process and allow to boot into boot manager.
I'm also guessing bootmanager would need to be built from source to suit the A2?
I've read a few of your posts mate, worked with Linus? Legend.
You will by far know more than I do these days, but I'll see what I can do to help.
First I'll deodex the ics leak I'm running and make a Cwm backup to upload. Not sure how useful it will be due to the kernel.
The U.S, Europe and Asia hardware is all different?
The one last thing I remember from defy was I had to use at&t baseband since telecom nz uses the same carrier frequency.
And ran the defy+ rom on old red lense ddfy without a single issue at defy+ stock clock freq

Yeah we used a util called safestrap that another dev and I patched to make it work on this phone that was originally from hashcode.
It allowed us to boot another ROM on say our SDcard, but again it still has to use our kernel due to the bootloader issue...
The only way around the bootloader as of now is by using kexec, and that only works with 1 CPU and can only load a "stock based" unsigned kernel, so the CM stuff is out.
We are working to get CM9 and or AOKP booting from a port on our phone using the stock GB kernel. There is a post on it in the dev section.
Yeah Linus is a Friend, a great guy and I can't say enough good things about him. I have not seen him since the last Linux world / Opensource world now as it is called.
Yeah you should jump in and join the frey, we can always use more help in here.

Well it wasn't hard to work out how to get a 2nd init style boot. (As in, blue light, press vol down, gets bootmenu)
Except bootmenu is garbled screen. I need to test more, and probably mod some of the scripts.
Heres a system nandroid of ICS http://www.4shared.com/archive/bp3qzA9o/Atrix2-ICS-NANDROID__672112asi.html
Dunno how much use it will be since I didn't get the kernel.

Got it.... thanks

Porting ROMS

Now I'm not talking trash or causing drama but I see a lot of of ROMS being cooked up in the m8 forums. Will these be ported over?!
I'm just excited to flash flash flash!

Even though yes they are the same phone.
Porting ROMs can be difficult as some are GSM based and we are CDMA, so sure could port it easily but getting RIL (data/calls) to work is a diff story.
although if you look some ROMs state they are for ALL variants such as this one

No, you just need to get a CDMA SIM, a Verizon LTE 4G SIM is best, yes, I know the device is 3G, dont bother asking or wondering, just take my word for it, ALL of the LP d2vzw ROMs require SIM because they are for the Verizon S3 which is a 4G device and 4G devices require SIM for service and data, that makes us need it also. Another thing, stock MMS won't work with any other SIM than Verizon 4G SIM then dialing *228 to auto program SIM then manually edit APNs. Get a SIM and I'll set you up with what you need. Until you get a SIM just go back to stock or one of the kit kat ROMs from the first 6 months of last year and you won't need the SIM on those.

Does anyone know if Android M (Marshmellow) will be available for the S3 ? (d2vzw) ?

I don't know about the preview version. Everything is hush hush for now.
The team of guys I know are pretty good at what they do. Its mostly in the works upstream with the CM team. The guys I know are working as it comes from upstream. Its coming soon to the STS3 though. The team I know is already at work on it, they have it under control, I don't know about the other ROM teams though. It won't be out for beta testing for a couple of months so just be patient.

No recent news or developments yet, they are still working on it, very few teams or developers have it ready to go yet, I've seen it released for other devices but not this one yet.
