Hello, I was looking into purchasing a G2 or vibrant since I was selling my Nexus 4. Anyway the one I want has a broken USB, and is stock. Now the guides I've read require USB at some point, but I was hoping another route is available.

No i don't think that is possible because you need to push files on to your phone.

^ Nope, in fact you can even root without unlocking the bootloader and wiping your data

Are you the Guy over at Thunderbolt whose TB bit the dust?
Haha welcome, I think more GalNex owners had the Thunderbolt than any other phone, we just got hit so bad with waiting for ICS, none of us want that wait and uncertainty ever again.

Been playing with it all day, getting a feel for phone and battery. Ive git a 2350 battery in it i believe, and life seems pretty good. It did update to jb, and im amazed how fast phone is. If i had a good secure wifi tether, id almost not root, lol! Nah, i gotta see what this thing will do. Really liking so far though.

Should i update radios? Runnin liquid now, no 4g.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Do yourself a favor and if you haven't yet already learn adb and fastboot command lines there is no need for a toolkit for this phone. And to answer your radio question unlike the thunderbolt any radio combination works on any ROM you can update or change radios to see if they help you out but it shouldn't matter if you're getting 4g or not. Plus these roms never include radios..well from what I have seen all the radios can be flashed separately through the bootloader or some people have made flashable zips containing them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
1. Get Gnex
2. Root/Unlock
3. Flash new radios
4. Flash new bootloader
5. Flash new ROM - I would vouch for Codename Android with Faux's kernel
that's my recommendation plan
Brace yourself, flash addiction is comimg.

Can't tell if this is a serious questions...
You win an item on eBay by... winning an auction or buying it at a fixed price....

easiest way is to not use a toolkit.
install nexus drivers
adb environment -> bootloader -> fastboot oem unlock
What's the toolkit name ?

I have one.
Are there any working ROMs for our phones that have working OTG support? I know that our phones are "supposed" to support OTG hardware-wise, but I can never seem to find anything about OTG support with some ROMs.
Right now, my phone is on sniper's PACMAN ROM and OTG doesn't work..any suggestions for ROMs with OTG support? I kinda spent $10 on Amazon for my OTG cable, so I kinda want to actually get some use out of it....
Only one time was it working. It was a kernel made by zedomax. Back when this phone first came out. Never has it been able to be implemented again. So no sorry.

Otg will not work on our device. It is impossible because of the hardware.

I did do a bit of searching around, and saw various reports. I saw places where it said OTG works, but I never saw a definitive "yes it works"/"no it doesn't". So I figured I would ask anyway. I guess I have my answer now, huh?
It is not a hardware problem. There is video proof of a guy running OTG on his E4GT with a kernel he was building. He dropped the project though.

Short and sweet: they won't support it. I've never heard them make that distinction. Wish they would but its easy to flash back to show as if it never was

I had to take back my old captivate so I flashed back to stock and they swapped it with no issues. You are right, its a small pain but it works.
