I have an deactivated Nexus S 4G that I am testing roms on. Can I use standard Nexus S roms on it. I do not need use of the cellular radios.

It's more than just radios... There are other small differences that cause compatibilities to be different..

You'd need to swap the boot.img inside the crespo ROM with one from the crespo4g in order for it to boot, don't expect everything t work flawlessly though, and don't expect to get a working kitkat ROM either lol

I know ROMs for the GSM Nexus S won't work for the CDMA variant, but can someone explain why? If there are files within 2.3.4 that support WiMAX and CDMA, why can't we use them on the NS4G? Will it brick if we try to flash a GSM Nexus S ROM on it?
No answer?
From what I understand the problem is with the 2.3.3 roms there are ns4g Tom's in the Dec section and I can't be sure but I bet cm7 will support it when all the 2.3.4 code is merged but I may be missing some other aspect
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It just doesn't make sense to me. Won't 2.3.4 ROMs work if the radio files are replaced with CDMA files?

ok, first i am new the forums but not new to the rooting game. I should've researched a little more before i went and jumped on the sprint deal. i just thought that the nexus s 4g had a much larger dev community. What i mean is, when i had my OGD it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, i mean it got soo much love and it was easy to modify. i moved to the DX after that and then jumped the NS4G for sprint. So here's my questions...
1)Can/is there a better radio to flash to improve data speeds other than the update?
2)can i flash some of the NS roms on my NS4G?
3)why is everything thru adb? i mean, why no zips and simple metamorphs?
4)a better comprehensive guide on how to use adb coming from where ive been. lol nowhere near using adb. i need this bad
5)any other kernels im not seeing?
6)will miui ever support 4G?
i just want to know as much as possible bc i have a lil baby girl and ive spent alot of time searching. i cant spent all day so i skim thru. please if there is any others questions that i shouldve asked please guide me in the right direction. lets get me up to speed as well as others. thanks guydes
There is plenty to flash for the ns4g.
The KE5 radio is the latest and by far the best. It came with the 2.3.5 ota.
There are plenty of kernels. Matr1x, netarchy, Trinity, Jame bond, just to name a few.
There are roms that are compatible with all versions of the nexus s. Read the rom descriptions.
I believe MIUI.us supports 4g but don't quote me on that.
The reason you see alot of ADB talk is because the Nexus s is considered a development phone. ADB is a more advanced and more reliable method. Of course you don't have to use ADB for everything. Most everything is made as zip files to be flashed from recovery like every other phone.
How old is your baby girl? I have a 9 month old so I can relate!
There are some really good guides in the development forum I suggest you read to become more familiar with the phone before you do something you regret. Good luck!

Unfortunately MIUI does not support 4g since there's no 4g in China.

I want to run miui but my 3g is incredibly slow here. I need 4g. Are any off you guys good or familiar with adb? See i'm miss that in cyanogenmod, where you could easily go into settings and change the status bar colors and such. Now I see you have to conduct mad science routines just to change it. Hell, anyone have a very good guide to learn this stuff from.

That should give you everything you need to root...plus links and such
I use this kernel on my stock rooted NexusS4G. The base 1 @ 1.2, tiny undervolt.
That guide is pretty helpful. I'm already rooted with deodexed stock
2.3.5 I look at that party everyday thinking it will get updated with something I haven't seen. I like the kernel to I think I might flash later after the bears game.

OK, here's a problem. Why can't u flash recovery in fastboot? I typed exactly how its spelled and its in my tools folder. I unrooted earlier today to learn adb. I'm stuck without custom recovery and su. Thoughts, I've searched for 4hours and can't find the answer.

You can flash recovery from fastboot. In fact it is the preferred method!
Make sure the recovery image is in the directory you have adb open from.

Hi All,
I'm having issues with my 4G on the latest nightly of CM10. It's giving me no connection to the 4G network and when it says it's connected to 3G it's still greyed out so I have no data network available to me! Since I wiped the cache's to upgrade from the 8/20 nightly do I have to do any network calibration? Should I try flashing one of the other radios here:

I've seen this a lot on AOSP ROMS and unfortunately CM doesn't get a free pass. I'm sure it'll get better as development continues. Maybe try out a 4.0.4 based ROM. (Synergy)

It's weird though, when I first flashed the rom it was connecting to 4g EVERY time it had a signal. Now i'm lucky to get 3G...
I have been trying out a few ROMs and it seems the WiFi on the jelly bean ROMs are weak compared to ICS roms. Has anyone had this problem.

I've used Bruce's CM10 builds and recently switching to the official Cyanogen CM10 builds. Last week I tried out Nikez's JB 4.2 AOSP build. I had great wifi on all of them. Like satndin gout in my front yard with the wifi router in the basement in the back of my house good. So it's not the ROM itself. (Though it could be a combination of the ROM and some app or mod you're running)
You might have a weak connection on the wifi anteneas inside the back case of the phone. Take the back cover off, look at the gold pins on the phone, and make sure they are all raised up. You can take a tiny screw driver and pry them up a little more to make sure they are getting good contact with the back cover (which is the antenea). Juts be VERY careful when doing it.
It might not help, but it's a cheap thing to try.
I have tried that too but its strange I can switch to a ICS ROM and I will have full bars in my whole house but with the jelly bean ROMs its one or two bars unless I'm right next to it.

I've got some WiFi tweaks in my kernel that might help. My kernel, Sultan, has the WiFi voltage increased to the max and it has some WiFi signal parameters altered at the kernel level so WiFi networks with weaker signal can be seen. If my kernel doesn't really help then I can build a kernel just for you that forces the system to use the BCM4329 WiFi driver instead of the BCMDHD WiFi driver; that may help. BTW, if you download my kernel then make sure you download the one for Jelly Bean and not the one for Sense.
I tried your kernel and my WiFi is still weak compared to ICS but does seem a little stronger
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
This is a confirmed issue, its not kernel related, because even with the kernels with improved wifi voltage (which is more voltage than stock), its still a weaker signal than on an ICS based rom.

Is it an issue with proprietary drivers/code or a issue with JB itself?
I tried two different ones but both the same still weak WiFi ... I am new to HTC so I might not be wiping something right but anyways what kind of recovery should I use and what should be wiped every time I flash a new ROM

most users who are S-ON(like me) 4ext has a feature which calls smartflash
before flashing any rom you have to enable smartflash before flashing(if you are S-ON)
and then flash the rom
for S-ON devices it is one way to boot a rom after installation
if you are S-OFF you don't need that feature
So if I'm s off then ext4 isn't really a must have for me

4ext was really buggy for me. 1 of the many bugs I experienced with 4ext was that sometimes after flashing a kernel the phone would get stuck at the HTC screen and I would have t use fastboot to flash a boot.img file in order to get my phone to boot; flashing another kernel in the recovery didn't work and it would still be stuck at the HTC screen -_- If you have S-OFF then use TWRP. Just my 2 cents.
Can anyone confirm getting there at&t skyrocket to make calls threw T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling feature running a stock Hercules Rom on the T-Mobile network of coarse. Tried Jedi mind tricks 4.1.2 and I keep getting "Error: REG09 "Missing 911 Address"

Just curious did you flash a stock T989 ROM onto your skyrocket? any issues? did you use odin?
Also LTE should work with any of the skyrocket modems by default as long as the APNs are correct. There are threads and info on this in the skyrocket forums.
Yeah I flashed a few stock roms on it without Odin, using twrp and infamous wipe/superwipe and without infamous. Although when I did it without the infamous zips about 20% of the time on reboot it would hang on start up which was fine I just reboot and it was good to go. Noticed it hasn't done it since I reflashed with infamous though.
Lte did work just no hspa which is all I get in my town. So I put the stock uvmc6 radio in since 4g sits around 2-7mbs over here and that's more than enough. Heard you can get 2g,4g,lte with some blaze radio's but never cared to try. Only glitch I'd can't find a fix on JB for the screen rotation. It's all wacked out.

Oh most defiantly. There sister phones. But I've tried flashing I'd say about 4 or 5 different ones and no dice. I put an ics stock Rom and flashed a fix, worked fine. my brother which who I gave it to would rather live with vertical movies and sideways camera on JB than go with ics. Haha but if you know of one that works on Jb can you share the link?
