Do you have the SDK installed on your computer? If so the easiest way is to download the stock recovery.img and place it in the Tools folder of the SDK (make sure you have ADB Debugging enabled on your phone & plug your phone up, then open a CMD prompt & type cd, then drag the tools folder into the terminal window and hit enter. Then type

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot oem lock

adb reboot

or if your on a mac type

./adb reboot bootloader

./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img

./fastboot-mac oem lock

./adb reboot

once you phone reboots you'll have the stock recovery and a locked bootloader
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
thank you...do you know why after flashing full rom i have always cwm?
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
I'm not sure, but if your flashing it through ClockworkMod with an update zip i would say that the stock recovery is not included in the zip
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
it is included in a strange format...not recovery.img...could it be that i didn't rename in update.zip?
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
what is the format?
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
Looks like below is the one you need, its the stock flashable rom for your phone listed in the OP

http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
recovery-from-boot.p
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
is the same rom that i flashed...without renaming it
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
i'm not sure what that is, i would flash the one i sent the link to or if your already back to stock, it would be easier to flash the stock recovery via fastboot
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
yes i'm to stock and i'll flash the recovery img via fastboot...if you try your rom tell me!
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
oh ok, well i don't think renaming would help, you could rename it update.zip but i would think that if the name mattered it wouldn't have flashed at all, you might need to wait for an answer from the op for that.
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
Cool, let me know how it goes
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
not now because i need bln...sorry
[Nexus S General] omartins:
Hi all,

newbie question:

some time ago I've downloaded the

from this thread, just for security reasons. At that time I had my Nexus S I9023 already rooted, so, no chance for getting a nandroid backup of the unrooted stock ROM.

Yesterday I decided to make a nandroid backup of the phone as it is now, also just for security and curiosity. The thing is, when I compare the content of backup I've made yesterday with the content of the ZIP file downloaded from here, I can't find much similarities, as you can state through the attached pic.

h--p://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd183/martins_ro/Misc/stockROM__234.png

My question is, how should I proceed to flash the downloaded zip file to my Nexus, in case I need or decide to do it, without messing things up?

Thank you all,

RM
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
They are two different types of files.

The nandroid backup contain exact images of your partitions, which can be flashed in recovery or in fastboot. It will restore things exactly as they were, including your apps and data.

Flashable zips are installed in recovery. (Install	zip from sdcard.) It copies the individual files it contains to your system partition. It will overwrite any files that are there, but will not remove any old/unneeded files, which could cause problems. The best way to install a complete ROM is to use Titanium Backup to backup your apps & data. (Check auto-sync in preferences.) Then, in recovery, format /system and do a factory reset. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the new ROM. Then reinstall titanium backup, and "restore all missing apps with data."

Pro tip: Don't let the Market waste time and bandwidth redownloading all your apps.

Before installing a new ROM, copy the titanium backup .apk to the root of your sdcard, and rename it something you can remember.

After you wipe everything and install the new ROM, sign into Google and let it sync, but don't open the Market.

Go into application settings, and check "unknown sources."

Open the browser, and enter file:///sdcard/tit.apk (or whatever).

Install it and batch restore your missing apps and data.

Then open the market, and it'll redownload only whatever titanium missed, such as updates of system apps.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
You cannot flash Nandroid-created system images in Fastboot.
[Nexus S General] Spasibo:
I'm very concerned. I received 2 Nexus S phones from Best Buy (AT&T version) and began to root one of them. After using it for a couple of days, I decided that AT&T service in my area is just too terrible and so I ordered 2 of the same phones from Sprint.

2.3.4

kernel version

2.6.35.7-ge382d80

android-build@apa28#1

GTJ61

was what was on my phone before I started playing with it.

I am trying to UNroot this phone, and followed a walk-through guide at DrewGaren DOT com/NEXUS/Entries/2011/8/4_Nexus_S_I9020A_(AT%26T)_GTJ61_STOCK_RESTORE DOT html because it looks like it was specifically talking about my exact phone situation.

well, step #8 says to format system.

since I've done that, I have not been able to get the phone to boot. It simply hangs on the Google screen. I have been able to get in and flashboot the recovery to clockwork, and flashboot lock/unlock the phone, but no matter what combination of things I try, it will never successfully boot now.

Reading this thread, I'd like to ask, can I create a nandroid image of the clean phone that I DIDN'T root, and then use that image to flash the bricked one?

Biggest problem is that I can't see the sdcard from my computer (from both windows 7 and ubuntu 11.04) so I can't copy over an img file to restore from. How can I restore to factory settings without access to the sdcard? (because it won't boot to where I can allow sharing of the sdcard).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Solnse.
[Nexus S General] JuliusCes:
All you need is to find a stock rom for your att phone and flash it. This will set your rom and recovery back to stock. Then you will to fastboot OEM lock your phone (this will wipe everything on your sdcard)

There is a thread on the xda nexus s android development forum that has different Roms for you to download. If you can't find v2.3.4 then install v2.3.3 and let it OTA up to 2.3.4
[Nexus S General] Spasibo:
yeah sounds simple.... the problem is getting the stock rom ONTO the phone since I can't boot up the phone to share the sdcard. (settings/development/USB debugging) Since the phone won't boot, I can't turn that option on to access the sdcard to put an img on it so that I can restore it from the sdcard.

Any other ideas?

Spasibo.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Using a nandroid backup from the other phone is probably your best bet. You can usb mount the sdcard in clockworkmod. I think the option to enable it is in the mount menu.
[Nexus S General] Spasibo:
well, I was sitting on the mount menu for the sdcard for a few minutes while I was typing to a friend to see if he had any ideas and windows suddenly recognized the phone and gave me an option to open it as external storage so I was able to copy over the stock zip file and restored from that. All working perfectly now, back to stock.

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
The easiest way to do it is to flash the stock nexus s 4g images via fastboot. I know you have an att nexus s but the nexus s 4 posted by Pete in the nexus s 4g forums will go on the i9020a. The phone wont function as a phone but it will revive it and make the phone usable and SD card mountable. Once you've done that reflash clockwork mod and put the stock rooted flashable zip for the i9020a (yes its rooted but stay with here. Once you have the phone back to stock rooted, simply delete super user using root explorer and then delete root explorer and reflash the stock recovery and relocl the bootloader. I've taken two nexus s this way back to best buy.
[Nexus S General] cgi101:
I don't see it listed in the first post, so not sure if someone else already caught it already... but I had flashed to stock 2.3.3 on my i9020a today and when it rebooted it said there was a system update to 2.3.6 available that was 97.5 megabytes. I'm assuming, given the size, that it's a full ROM for the i9020a (Rogers/Telus/Bell) as opposed to an incremental update? The file is called 5282b5b3eb74.signed-sojua-ota-178324.5282b5b3.zip
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
The only solution i found is to put recovery.img separately...somebody manage to flash completely the full rom?
[Nexus S General] lgmcben:
Is this for US version of i9020A?

Will this also work on my Canadian White Nexus S i9020A ?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] scandiun:
I have a GRJ22 I9023.
[Nexus S General] cgi101:
It will work. This was the update pushed my Google to my Canadian i9020a on Rogers.
[Nexus S General] manoutis:
Does anybody knows if the android 3 will come by automatic update to the phone?
[Nexus S General] georgemv:
Android 3 will never come to the phone. It's for tablets.
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
Just be aware that the v2.3.6 firmware has a bug that broke tethering so if you need tethering, don't update.
[Nexus S General] lgmcben:
Hi. Thanks so much for the warning. Then how about this one?:

This one is originally for US version of i9020A. Anyone tested if this works on Canadian White(or Black, doesn't matter) Nexus S i9020A?

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] 31lived:
Hello,

is there any Official ROM for the Middle East OR support Arabic language?

thanks
[Nexus S General] wrick01:
Evening ,

My assumption is that if I flash a stock rom like the 2.3.4, I got back to stock, including bootloader. Meaning, cwm also takes a dump. If I want to flash it back, I need to use fastboot. Right ?

If I flash a stock 2.3.4, once it's booted, will it ask for an OTA update ?

Thanks for your imput !

Rick

I have a favor to ask of people: If anyone has the KB3 radio, I would be much obliged to have it posted. I foolishly tried updating my Tmo NS and realized it was an ATT radio and have regretted my loss of <edge speeds. So if you have the KB3 radio, please post it!

**EDIT**

I see the full 2.3.3->2.3.4 update with the kb3 radio and I'm going to try flashing that but I'd still like to have the KB3 radio file lying around.
[Nexus S General] PTzero:
Just download the ROM with the KB3 radio you want, unzip it and there will be a radio.img file within. Flash that with the command: fastboot flash radio radio.img

Hey guys, been searching vigorously for a proper update file for my Nexus S going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 (for the phone from Koodo). But I keep getting and error of "Failed to verify the Signature". Any Help would be highly appreciated on the matter. Phone is Un-rooted, not interested in rooting it.

It's right in the original post. Look under I9020A and use the link for 2.3.4 (GRJ22) -> 2.3.6.
[Nexus S General] risktaker84:
That's the first thing I did, but the Link is not functional.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Oh that's right...Google pulled the GRK39C update from its servers because it broke tethering. I'll update the post to mention that.

[Nexus S General] stangri:
I've tried to search thru my browser history to find out the original file name, but couldn't. Maybe you can get the original file name from the link which you previously posted.
[Nexus S General] tylercarter:
Same here. Can't find it for the i9020a. Anyone have a link maybe?
[Nexus S General] all steamed out:
I can confirm that I just received an OTA message to update to 2.3.6 on my Fido i9020a.

I can also confirm that tethering is fully functional whether using USB to feed through a WiFi signal or configuring a Portable Wi-Fi hotspot using the 3G data. In both cases I was able to connect and draw data without problem.

If this was a democracy I would vote against splitting it. It's great that all the updates are in one place. Maybe you just need to clean up stupid posts like this one to keep it neat.

[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
I'd do backups just in case with titanium backup (free will do) or such to be safe but it shouldn't.... i tested it on my own writing it on top of a config i've carried across from 2.3.4 no data loss.

Thank you for these. I'll review them some time this weekend and post.
[Nexus S General] tapanpatel88:
Thank you!

I installed 2.3.6 (BIG MISTAKE!!!) and lost my cellular connections. I said OK not to worry as I can just flash the radio img file from one of these xda threads. I tried several radio image files but no luck! Now I installed the 2.3.4 update you uploaded today and still no luck at all! My phone displays 2.3.4 and radio as AUCKD1 but it still shows an x sign in the signal bar area.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!:eek:
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
I'd try checking band setting in Testing screen since im on 2.3.6 on a i9020a and its fully working.

In dialer dial *#*#4636#*#* > Tap Phone Information > Press Menu > Tap Select Radio Band and make sure you are on the proper USA band. I'm not sure what to try beyond that (a wipe might help???).
[Nexus S General] tapanpatel88:
I tried wiping it too but no luck at all. I did set the band to USA but nothing :confused: Can you tell me what your "Set Preferred Network Type" is in the phone info menu. Mine is set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). Thanks
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Mine is set the same as that and its working on SaskTel 4G (Canada)... a 850/1900 hsdpa+ network.

Check out this thread here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6946203d6a4d4b2f&hl=en it might help you

i flashed a rom that installed a radio with it and that did the trick. i believe it was grk39c. all stock. then i was set to root and flash any rom of my choosing. hope this helps you out cause the same thing happened to me and i kinda freaked. :eek: it was no fun.
[Nexus S General] tapanpatel88:
Thanks for the tip! I can't seem to find the GRK39C full ROM ANYWHERE! Can you please post the link if available? In the carrier info of my bootloader it says ATT which obviously means its an AT&T phone but I have been using it on my Rogers (Canadian) network for the past 2 months without any problems. I am not that savvy with these terms and if you can instruct me in more layman terms I would REALLY appreciate that. Thank you very much!

ok can anyone help me out. I've read this thread and I'm still confused. I have a i9020a on grj22 with uckd1 radio. which rom do I flash?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
We don't have a link to a GRJ22->GRK39F or a full GRK39F ROM for I9020A yet. You're going to need to sit tight and either wait for the OTA notification to come to your phone or wait 'til we can track down a link here.

If you want to go to the Android market and download alogcat, then you can help provide the link to a GRJ22->GRK39F update. Once you get the OTA notification on your phone, stop whatever you're doing and open alogcat, save the current log as a text file to SD card, then open it up on your computer and do a search for ".zip". You'll find the link. Post it here.
