Hi folks
I'm after advice, answer or help with my Gnex.
I sent my Gnex back to o2 with a dodgy power button, received it back this week, I have 4.0.4 and Build Number of IMM76k.I9250XWLD2.
I have been attempting to root it using Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v7.0 and installing aokp_maguro_build-38 but with no success.
Now the toolkit shows my build number as a CDMA/LTE Verizon version, I understood these to be US only, am I correct?
If this is the incorrect version how can I change it?
Many thanks for your help guys
dont use a toolkit.
use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
Thanks
Will give that a go.
With the build number and using o2UK would I need to download the GSM or Verizon version?
Thanks again
GSM. your model number is i9250 which is a GSM model.
basically if you're not in america and not on verizon or sprint, its GSM.
Thought as much, just the build number threw me, thanks

Im looking to flash a custom rom to a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 for the sole intention of getting rid of my work phone (AT&T Blackberry). What is the best ROM (and easiest to switch between radios) to do something like this?
Thanks for any tips!

So far as I know you cannot flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone. It will not work.

The CDMA touch pro 2 is also a "world phone" so it has a built in GSM radio. The key is unlocking it for domestic GSM carriers. There are some unlockers to do this, but I am assuming there are various different radios and ROMs you can use that may make this work better or be easier to use.

I am aware of the "world phone" capabilities, and I stand by my statement. You will brick your CDMA phone if you flash a GSM ROM. You need to flash a CDMA ROM.
I believe that it is possible to "un-brick" back to CDMA, although so far as I know no one has "un-bricked" a GSM phone that was accidentally flashed with CDMA.
for better results... aka answers.
i suggest asking this question here --> linky.
because primarily your phone is CDMA,
therefore a CDMA ROM would be needed/required.
i also suggest a read of this --> linky.
it is very informative.
and should help a lot with answering your questions.
hope that helps.

As a CDMA/GSM phone we have the capability to use a GSM sim card, but we can only use tools that were specifically built for CDMA, including ROMs/radios. Flashing a GSM rom/radio will seriously hurt your phone, possibly rendering it unusable.
To unlock for a GSM carrier in the continental US, you will first need to SIM unlock, either through calling your carrier and requesting a SIM unlock or using the olinex SIM unlocker found in the CDMA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517

I need windows 6.5 for Canada Telus HTC Touch Pro 2. Have they released a version for Canada? If so, where could I find it?
I've been trying to upgrade my OS and when I attempt to download the update it gives me an error saying "this download is not suitable for this device" I believe it is because the download is for european phones.
In addition to this question, has anyone had any success unlocking the Touch Pro 2 from Telus to Rogers?
A quick response would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
ROMs are carrier specific, for the most part. If it isn't on the HTC website, only Telus would be releasing a new ROM. Most carriers have stopped development since the phone has been discontinued. Not likely you'll see a new OEM ROM if one hasn't come out already.
that sucks!! I don't understand why the rest of the world is compatible with this upgrade but canadian clients arn't? doesn't make much sense to me. but thank you for the reply

Complain to your carrier. The stock ROMs are locked to the carrier they are released to by design. If Telus doesn't have an update for it on their website, then there isn't one available. As far as unlocking it to use on another cellular network, you would have to obtain an unlock code from your carrier. This would SIM unlock your device, allowing you to use any GSM carrier with your phone.
Hello,
I am very new to the Android scene, I just bought two GN from expansys. And it seems that one of the phones is google version which is fully updated but the samsung version wont seem to update.
Please note: I am in canada and have yet to put a carrier sim in it. just wifi for now. my specs read,
baseband version i9250xxkk1
build number: i9250xwkk5_ITL41D
Should i return this phone for this? The phone works great and has a great screen so I am hoping I can just keep it. I am moving to the uk in feb so I ma thinking once I put a uk sim in the update will get pushed to the device?
thanks for you help.
What's your build name in the build.prop?
its says in my settings that the build number is i9250xwkk5_itl41d
which is weird since most people have just the ITL41D OR F version. mine seems to be longer. maybe this is what the samsung update was?
thanks for the reply btw
I'd just reflash it all to the latest google build if I were you.
sounds good I will reflash it. I can only follow instructions in numberic sequence. is there a link that I could get that shows me how to do that?
thanks for reply
Hey guys,
I'm currently in china and I need a chinese (China Mobile) baseband for my gnex (GSM). It should be region code ZC or ZS and for 4.1.2 JB. If someone could extract or point me to a link, it would be greatly appreciated. The CWM one, thanks!
P.S I checked the big stickyed "radio dumps" thread, but couldn't find any.
No such radios.
Is it because the gnex never made the market in china? What radio do you recommend using best? Thanks
No idea.
Try out the radios in the radio thread, see which one works for you.
Just wondering if any new china/hong kong gsm nexus users have any input on the basebands they use? and a questions about basebands itself, would any baseband technically work just that different baseband will yield different signal strengths?
Forgive me but i cant seem to find the solution to my problem and i search every forums but i have no luck. Ill try to be detailed as possible
Samsung Note 2 GT N7105
Rooted
Android ver: 4.1.2
BaseBand ver:N7105BVDMF2
Build Number: JZO54K.N7105XXDMF2
Kernel Ver: 3.0.3.1-1071214
Ok, so i rooted my phone a few days ago, I am from the Philippines by the way and using a local carrier Globe. The phone has an Orange Carrier logo when i turned it on. Any way so i follow the instruction for rooting the phone and it was successful and works like a charm. But then i want to change it to JB 4.2.2 using the lates CM. I use goomanager and TWRP to be able to change it to the latest CM 10.2 i was able to change it without any problems but then i cant seem to receive 3G and LTE or 4G on my device. I manually change the APN information of my carrier to make sure it is correct but then i failed. i am still not able to get LTE. I have read some threads that it might be the radio or modem. But i am new to this, forgive my ignorance but i dont know what i need to look for. If there are some one who can point me in the correct direction i really appreciate it. or if there is something im doing wrong kindly help me straight this one out. A guide is much appreciated.
