[Q] Cant update to Nexus one Android 2.3.4

Hey guys,
I bought a Nexus one few weeks ago.
When I switch on it and connected to my wifi, it automatically updated to Gingerbread 2.3.3
But still i cant update it to 2.3.4
I went to settings>about phone> system updates but update is not available.
I tried manually updating using the zip file downloaded from google, but it says file verification error.
I also tried forced checking using *#*#checkin#*#* but no luck
As I heard 2.3.4 update was released on May.
So How can I update to 2.3.4?
Phone's Android build number is 3.02.1010.4 CL492.8

That is not a stock Android build number. Is it a Vodafone or Videotron device? If so, you will not be able to get (OTA or manual install) the latest version until your carrier releases it. If you want the latest releases, you need to flash a stock ROM...

Did you root it and change any system files? If so, then you will not get future OTA updates. The file verification error sounds like you did change or delete some system files. If you did the update will fail. To install an OTA update (even from sd card) the phone must be stock with no changes to any files that came with the stock rom.

Rooting has NO impact on being able to receive or install OTA updates...

No It's not from Vodafone or other carrier. I bought it from Korea through ebay. It says it's an unlocked phone.

That is not a stock Android ROM. It looks like there is some sort of Sense ROM running on it.
A stock build should look something like the attachment.

Thanks for the reply.
Phone doesnt have any sence UI. But as you said it may have a carrier specific ROM.
So is that mean I need to flash a new stock ROM?

If you want to get stock 2.3.4 then, yes, you need to flash a stock ROM. You will lose all your data, so make sure you back up as much as you can. The easiest way to flash a completely stock ROM is to download the zip file from this post, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and place it in the root of your sdcard. Then boot into the bootloader, and it will recognize the file. After verifying it, it will ask if you want to flash it. Or you could unlock your bootloader, and flash all the images in the zip file using fastboot on your computer.

I'll try the first method you said.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Finally I did it guys!
First I downloaded FRG83 and tried flashing but it didnt work.
It said "CID incorrect"
Then I tried flashing with FRG33 it also didnt work.
Then I tried downloading images form HTC. Didnt work either
Then I found out that issue is with the memory card.
I turned my other memory card into a gold card and tried flashing with FRG83.
Voila! I worked!
Then I updated to 2.3.4
Thank you very much for the help guys!!

Since you didn't use the link I posted for you, you are not upgraded to the latest radio that came with the latest Gingerbread ROM. (Compare your baseband version with mine.) You can flash it manually if you want (assuming you either have root or an unlocked bootloader).

I was not sure whether it is compatible with my phone because it's has a SLCD.
Later I found that the ROM you gave me, is a newer one.
I havent rooted the phone yet.
I feel lack of wifi signal after flashing. Now I think it's because of this baseband version.[not sure]
Actually I haven't noticed the baseband version until you tell it.
Is there any other significant different that you feel between these two baseband versions?
Still I havent planned to root because it'll void the warranty.
Then I'll flash again with the ROM you gave.

Rooting your device does not void the warranty, as it is easily undoable, with no trace. (Note, however, that you cannot root 2.3.4 with a locked bootloader, so you will need to downgrade to an older version, root, then update using OTA, but being careful not to lose root. There are many guides on how to do this.)
Unlocking the bootloader technically does void the warranty, however, it has been reported numerous times in these forums that HTC still honours the warranty even if the bootloader is unlocked.
The difference in the radio affects each user differently, as there are too many variable to compare.

REPARTITIONING ISSUE WITH HEIMDALL 1.3.0
Heimdall currently has an issue with repartitioning. 99% of the time you will not need to repartition. Failure to follow these directions can possibly lead to bricking:
Do not flash bootloaders if you see this message:
Code:
Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!
This message means your partition tables do not match the firmware.
You will need to use Linux to repartition with this firmware package. Install Ubuntu. In Linux, you can copy-pasta this into the terminal to correct the repartitioning problem and then flash bootloaders. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17485056&postcount=23

Odin is closed source, works only on Windows, and you can't get the firmware back out once it's made one-click. This is a fully open source stack. It works on Linux, Mac and Windows. Also, you can inspect inside the Jar to verify contents whereas that's impossible on Odin One-Click.

Oh well, I think may phone is really messed up. This is my last resort (Heimdall) still
same problem stuck on vibrant Screen. Tried Odin -> stock , Froyo no Bick -> stock , stock flash to about 15 different ROMS CWM/ODIN/ HEIMDALL none worked out..
but the wierd thing is recovery mode is ok download mode is ok. but
when i flash to any 2.2 roms(odin or CWM) my phone just vibrates then reboots just like SGS I9000 phones when they messed up thiers.
tried flashing GB ROMS then my display is f*kd up its like a TV set with a really bad signal! lol
My phone goes like his http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abdA-7n3kTE
but the Vibrant screen and Samsung stays and can hear tmobile sound.

Good work ,tested on ubuntu no problem at all.It surprised me that a semi bricked phone it is detected by Heimdall and flashed without any issues.
I think Linux is more friendly than Windows with Android phones

I was able to do this because of an excellent set of open source tools. This was the idea behind Heimdall one-click... Linux is inherrently easier then windows. Its just under developed. The framework is all there though.
Try ModeDetect and UnBrickable Mod. They're also Linux tools I designed to make things simple.

so i attempted this method but now i actually need odin to flash a 2.2 rom but odin wont even recognize phone in d/l mode
can anyone help?

Heimdall relies upon Open-Source libusb drivers. It's a fully Open-Source stack of software. Odin relies upon closed source Samsung drivers. You need to install the Samsung drivers again to use Odin.

Excellent! It's inspiring me to start hunting craigslist for another Vibrant for my wife now.
Kudos!

If you are flashing a GB ROM, you need to have GB bootloaders or you will get messed up screen and will not be able to see recovery. I have moved to MIUI based ROM a few weeks back and am very happy with it. You might want to try it. http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?6078-ROM-LE-Lithium-1.9.23-**Updated**9-27-11-Fast-LMFAO!.

It's a UI, a package manager, a dependency installer and an automation assistant.
It makes things easier then Odin.

going back to eclair is just as good as going back to froyo for "cleaning and clearing out your handset" before flashing a new ROM, right?

I asked around a bit before creating this pacakge. Its supposed to be as clean and as easy as possible for running a custom ROM. The package was verified sane by Member gregc2009, Senior Member djquick, Senior Member s15274n .
This package was designed to resurrect a totaly dead device using UnBrickable Mod.
Now, this has Eclair bootloaders on it... So you will need Gingerbread bootloaders for Gingerbread ROMs.

Your vibrant is broken or you didn't follow instructions in-app.

There's only three parts to the instructions. Java is updated on my mac. Heimdall comes up as the picture shows. Then, once I put my vibrant in download mode using the volume up and down while connecting the usb cord. I get the the the little android fellow digging a hole. And that's as far as it goes. Heimdall doesn't recognize the phone and just says disconnected. Otherwise I'm always able to connect my phone to my computer.

If you want root you can use a custom kernel that includes root.
http://www.multiupload.com/PC21LDJXIK
Enter in download mode (volume down + power button when the tab if off)
Flash it using odin v1.7, the tar file goes on PDA.
Repartition unchecked, no pit file.
After this the tab will take several minutes to boot, don't worry this is a normal procedure.
After this you will have a EXT4 file system and rootes tab.
If you want the lastest overcome rom:
Warning: this will wipe your data, make a backup of your data and apps with titanium backup.
After you flash the kernel.
http://www.multiupload.com/9F0Z0JU3HJ
Download the file above, copy it to the internal sd of the tab
Then go to the recovery mode (volume up + power button when the tab is off)
Go to Installation menu the select flash zip from internal sd card, and select the zip that you downloaded. Wait until the installation is complete.
The reboot menu > reboot to system.

Hello,
Ok so' I'm noob when it comes to android (probably on most any other).
Anyway, there's rooting using z4root or superoneclick, and then now that I read rafaeker19 post I could use a custom kernel. What I want to ask is that what is the safets way to root the SGT P1000 and make it unrootable?

Play safe
Hello friends Murali & ChevanLemon
It seems that both of u r new here.
The safest way to Root Gingerbread-DDJPA is this one.{Bonus-U can unroot it also.}
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
It has rooted my Tab having DDJPA GB.Read all instructions there before u start to root.

ehmmm so what does the different between root and flashing, if i want to root do i need to flash?
I read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 and somewhat confused.

You don't have to flash to root, but you can if you want too. If you flash a rom like overcomes it will automatically come rooted. But you can, if you want to just stay on stock Android, flash a cf-root kernel with Odin, or use super one click wish is nice and easy .

ah I see so i want to install a particular rom then i will need to flash it correct? say since in this case is P1000, how do I get that rom? is there many kind of rom for p1000, what are they? I google it but mostly come up with gingerbread 2.3

rooting gingerbread
i rooted my gingerbread using doomlordz'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
just run the batch file and wait for about 5 mins and its all good. no flashing needed

Okay i have read the rooting method of Zergrush, this is will be my last question for root. If (just incase if it did really happen), If I root the P1000 then one day I decide to unroot it and things gone wrong aka system damaged, I could flash it and get it back to original, correct?
Sorry this will be my question, I think I get the gist of it, but I just want to have assurance from you guys.

flash a stockfirmware via odin and it will be just like when u bought it. thats one of many ways to unroot it. <thats what i do all along...> there is a program somewherehere that downloads lates firmware for devices name is somehing like "fus updater " or anything similar to it, try and search it

Anyone have an idea to root Gingerbread OMKE2, Firmware 2.3.3 SC-01C NTT Docomo? Thanks.
EDIT:
Used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) and it works.
Thanks. ^_^

Rooting assistance
Dear all,
Please help me, I've been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab but been unable so far, here are my device details:
Model: GT-P1000L
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband version: P1000LUMJI1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Compilation: GINGERBREAD.UMJR2
I've tried so far with the follosing:
Super One Click runs until step 7, it gets frozen and won't respond even after 25 minutes, retried this process more than 10 times.
DooMLorD runs but on every step it states that the route was not foud, retried this process around 5 times.
z4root runs and wether I select temporary or permanent root it will just start processing and suddenly app will close itself, retried this process around 5 times.
I have read a lot of threads about using ODIN to flash custom firmware, but I've also found a lot of replies where process was unsuccesfull and tab wouldn't turn back on. Because of this I'm reluctant to try it, at least for the moment, since I'm so noob I will have a real hard time flashing back to stock firmware.
Thank you all in advanced for the time you will take reading even if you don't have the answer.
Best regards.

Help
Guys, please help me out with this, I've tried several times to root this tab so I can install CWM and then be able to test CM10.
I might even try the ODIN installation, just please tell me if there is any Noob Guide for Odin the same way it's there for P1000 rooting (wich doesn't work for me).
Or if any good samaritan is willing to guide me step by step so I don't mess up with it.
Please, any pointer will be thanked.

Success
Jo guys,
I've succesfully rooted my SGT7 P1000L with firmware 2.3.6, not as simple as using Super One Click, but not hard either.
The steps I followed are the next ones, they should work as well on P1000 and P1000N with firmware 2.3.6:
Downgrade to stock firmware 2.3.3 using Odin
Root device using Super One Click
Flash CWM Recovery through Heimdall
Indeed, so simple to do and your device is ready to flash custom roms.
For the very very noobs (like me) I found a couple of videos that guide you step by step on how to root and install CWM Recovery the way I listed previously, as a matter of fact those are the videos I followed.
This is a 100% secure if you don't mess with the other options, please be aware I take no responsibility of any damage your device suffers.

[Q] I9295 - How-to update baseband?

Hi all,
I am on a custom rom (Carbon) and want to update the baseband of my I9295.
I downloaded the latest stock firmware for my region from sammobile.com
However I am unsure how to proceed. If I open the firmware file with 7zip I can see the files modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.
How is the correct procedure? I have to flash them over "phone" with Odin? Which settings have to be checked in Odin?
Will it work like this??
Flash modem.bin over phone (only auto reboot and reset time checked)
Reboot
Flash NON-HLOS.bin over phone (only auto reboot and reset time checked)
Reboot
Please help, I don't want to brick the phone.
Best wishes, Christian

I want that too
Howdy,
I was curious about that too. Am also on a custom ROM and wanted to update the modem.
Last week I was using TouchWiz and made the update to the latest available firmware, which also updated the baseband version.
But... I just couldn't find a way to root that newer firmware, which was unacceptable, so I had to flash back to the original one, which also reverted my baseband version to the former one.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but there should be a way to do this.
It would be nice if it were so easy as you propose it, by flashing those 2 bins from the official firmware, but how? Which tab in Odin do you use for that? Are you sure those are the necessary files? Are you willing to risk bricking "for science"?
Regards.

Did not work
Hi,
I tried as described above using the France (XEF) firmware ML3 from sammobile.com.
It didn't brick the phone but my baseband also did not change. After that I just flashed the whole stock firmware (into PDA of course). This caused the phone to bootloop on the Samsung logo. I pushed clockwork recovery via Odin and restored my Nandroid backup. Phone is working again, but the baseband is still the old one.
Has anyone suggestions?
Best wishes,
Christian

You're a brave one
It looks like the modem is an integral part of the firmware. You pushed those files through Odin and it didn't change the baseband version, but it must've overwritten something in there, since after flashing the entire firmware the phone wouldn't boot. Anyway, who knows? When I updated, I didn't bother downloading the firmware on my PC and pushing it to the phone, I just used Kies. As I said, it updated the baseband too, but I couldn't root the thing anymore. You can try that too, maybe you'll manage to root it afterwards.
Looks like you used Odin 3.07, which has the PDA tab, they changed that a bit in 3.09. Any idea what the other tabs do? Maybe I should find some instructions on that.
Anyways, a more qualified person should give us an opinion on this, if it can be done or not.
Cheers.

Looks like you used Odin 3.07, which has the PDA tab, they changed that a bit in 3.09. Any idea what the other tabs do? Maybe I should find some instructions on that.
Anyways, a more qualified person should give us an opinion on this, if it can be done or not.
Cheers.

In principal, after I pushed the whole firmware it should have updated the baseband. I don't understand why it didn't. Perhaps something is wrong with my Odin. After flashing it only showed "RESET" in blue instead of "PASS" in green. However, pushing the custom recovery worked even without the green "PASS".
Additionally, I got the Samsung boot logo after I pushed the firmware. Before I had the Carbon boot logo.
I cannot use Kies as I am on a custom Rom and the phone is not recognized by Kies. Did you try rooting by pushing CWM recovery via Odin? This should work regardless of your baseband (at least on the I9295 because of the unlocked bootloader). You can get the newest Odin-ready version of CWM here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzJzDM42pkRvRzhHUEtPSGllSm8&usp=sharing

PS: I don't know. Use Odin 3.07, all guides use this version.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your Odin. Just that, before flashing the whole firmware, you should have reset the phone entirely, preferably from the recovery partition (CWM), as you do when flashing custom ROMs. Or probably you didn't wait long enough for Odin to turn green and give you a "PASS". Or maybe, seeing that it didn't work you should have tried flashing again. The first Sammy logo is present on boot regardless of the currently used ROM. The ROM's logo or TouchWiz logo is displayed after the initial Sammy logo.
Obviously, I was able to use Kies because I was on TouchWiz, as I've said before. After updating, I've tried many things in order to get root again. Of course I also pushed CWM. Problem is I got a continuous annoying popup from the ELM agent (part of Knox) crashing, preventing me to install apps and asking for restart. So, the phone was unusable. The rooting methods I used are valid for previous firmwares, they did not work for the updated one, for me at least. I didn't find anyone who has root with newer stock firmware. Or maybe there are ways I didn't try.
Odin 3.07 or 3.09, nevermind the version, what the buttons do - that's what matters.
Cheers.

Hi all,
I tried that. However as I described above it didn't update the baseband.

I flashed TouchWiz firmware (PDA) I9295XXUBML3 via Odin (I used the Nordic countries version CSC I9295NEEBNA2).
It installed baseband version I9295XXUAMF7, which KIES confirmed as being the latest available.
Then I've pushed CWM, rooted (although it wasn't necessary anymore) and installed CM11.
And that's that.

Did you manage to boot the stock rom?
Mine bootlooped on the Samsung logo after I pushed it with Odin.

Yeah, I had real trouble booting into the newly installed stock TW. The thing would get stuck on the SAMSUNG logo and would stay there forever. I eventually booted (manually) into stock recovery and wiped data/factory reset (as if it wasn't already factory default), wiped cache partition and tried again. It didn't work. I repeated the previous wipes and the f...er booted into TW. I flashed CWM, flashed SuperSU zip via CWM. Knox was behaving really annoying before that. So I had root. But my wifi just didn't work anymore. I checked the new things brought by this firmware, nothing interesting there, I hooked Kies and it confirmed these are the latest PDA, CSC, baseband and then I returned to CM11 and lived happily ever after.

Flasching modem / Baseband / Question how to flasch NON-HLOS in Odin
patzyalex said:
Howdy,
I was curious about that too. Am also on a custom ROM and wanted to update the modem.
Last week I was using TouchWiz and made the update to the latest available firmware, which also updated the baseband version.
But... I just couldn't find a way to root that newer firmware, which was unacceptable, so I had to flash back to the original one, which also reverted my baseband version to the former one.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but there should be a way to do this.
It would be nice if it were so easy as you propose it, by flashing those 2 bins from the official firmware, but how? Which tab in Odin do you use for that? Are you sure those are the necessary files? Are you willing to risk bricking "for science"?
Regards.

Hi, I found a comment from @alram here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53188068&postcount=299
acording to him you just have to flash the modem files as phone in odin.
Not shure about the NON-HLOS.BIN files though...
Do they also have to be flashed as Phone in ODIN????
Here are just the modem files from him: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwwLmYElvFOmRkF4WGhEbFNoMG8&usp=sharing

Yeah, man, I've seen that.
I didn't bother with flashing the modem separately anymore, since updating to the KK TouchWiz updated my baseband to UCNE5. But it certainly can be done, I don't know about #allram's way via Odin, you can ask him yourself what to do with the NON-HLOS file.
There's also #spegelius' way, in Linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52603644&postcount=219

Hi,
Thanks for the hint. ...i missed that.
Still, i' m on Windows (sorry) and therfore with odin.
>4. sudo heimdall flash --MDM >modem.bin
Ok. Flash as modem.... can translate that.
But what with:
>5. sudo heimdall flash --APNHLOS >NON-HLOS.bin
???
I'l try try to google that....
Unfortunatly sammy has not jet released a german 4.4.2 update....so...i'd have to go for the Netherlands update in order to completely flash 4.4.2 TW. I kind of shy that.... so i consider just updating the modem and otherwise use @alrams CM11 (which i really love). I hope to solve some sound issues i experience with CM11 and the UBML2 baseband.

I used the Dutch TW for KitKat and I had no trouble whatsoever, even if I'm in Romania. The Northern Countries version is also available. I did it just to check out the latest Sammy stock ROM and... nothing interesting there. A day later I switched to #allram's latest CM11.
Cheers.

Your countryman here says he's done it and it's all good.

If U try it, don't forget to use the "Phone" or "CP" button, according to Odin version, as #allram says.

help with an improper flash

I have a coworker that has tried to flash the wrong ROM to her AT&T S5, and now, when you turn it on, it goes directly to the recovery. I did try to use ODIN to try and load the factory rom, but it fails. This is what it looks like when in ODIN mode.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At this point, I am unsure what I should do to get this phone back to a factory installed state.
Any help you guys can give me on this would be greatly appreciated, as this coworker is worried that she may have actually bricked it.

@Gh0sTly If she can get to the stock recovery then she is not bricked. Do you know the original firmware that was on the phone

Unfortunately, no. I am unsure what firmware it originally had. I downloaded the whole ROM package for ODIN flashing(had the recovery, OS, and bootloader in one file.). It was the original version of the firmware, not the latest 4.4.x that the phone had.

Go to the notes section in the OP in this thread. Look at step 4, download the "downgrade to nce" file and flash that in odin. If she was trying to flash a rom then she must have been rooted which means that she should be able to downgrade to nce (original firmware). After downgrading she'll need to download towel root and reroot the phone.
Here is the link to the towel root that i use. https://mega.nz/#F!sYclyBhb!i7_ktuGw4pL3BmGfWpV36Q

I don't know if she even had root. She told me that she tried flashing android 5.0(never told me what the actual ROM was other than it was 5.0. I think that she thought it was much like a Windows desktop OS I guess.) to it after she had it carrier unlocked(she ultimately wants to take the S5 to Cricket)

That trick did it! Its functional again! Thank you!
So, I guess, here's the kicker. Is there anything I need to do to this phone at this point for her to use it on Cricket?
