Found a Nexus S in my drawer, about to install Replicant 4.2

Added by John Doe over 4 years ago

Any gotchas? In particular, should I install the latest version of CyanogenMod first? One story I read seemed to suggest so.

Anyway, I plan to disable the modem following the procedure at

https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ModemDisable

and to enable WiFi using a procedure similar to the one described here

https://manurevah.com/blah/en/p/Replicant-6-Enabling-Wifi-on-Galaxy-2-i9100

for the Galaxy S2. According to this page

https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/DeprecatedNexusSProprietary

the WiFi firmware files for my device are

fw_bcm4329.bin
fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin
nvram_net.txt

Does it suffice to simply copy these files over (to /system/vendor/firmware) to enable WiFi?
