[Nexus S General] ahqball:
So i just went along and flashed my phone with Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader and have managed to answer all my questions I had in the post above,

I have a new question now,

Phone boots into bootloader fine,

However when trying to access recovery, it simply loads up with a box with an arrow pointing out, that changes quickly into an exclamation mark icon.

Is this normal? I cant recall this ever happening, even when loading recovery for the first time when rooting...
[Nexus S General] Moritzio:
This worked for me.

1. Rename this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

2. Reflash recovery

3. Reboot normal then boot into recovery

If this works and is missing from the guide you are using, please post a note in the guide's thread.
[Nexus S General] ahqball:
Root has been removed from my phone since flashing Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader

Will need to re-root it and then rename that recovery file...

Stock is super quick/stable, but oh so boring :p
[Nexus S General] el7keem:
is there a rom that has arabic language ?

Hi :

my nexus is :

I9023 , GRK39F

is there anything to add arabic language ? and how can i do it ?

thanks
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
If I flash a signed stock will that make OATs work?
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
It should, yes. As far as Google can tell, the phone is one of their own, so they should be pushing updates to you as well...
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Thanks mzalan.
[Nexus S General] mayankchopra:
Awesome post !! +1
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Just flashed Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader to my GT-i9023 Works like a charm fast and smooth. Had CM7 before. Sad to leave it but it was to many small FC every now and then. Hoping OAT for ICS will come soon :D

Thanks for help and a great thread!
[Nexus S General] yongxian:
well,like stock most.
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Hum NFC doesn't seam to work and no swedish in the ROM typical...
[Nexus S General] Pudg3:
Is there a 2.3.7 stock ROM for I9020T?
[Nexus S General] stangri:
Dunno what you flashed, I just checked and I've got swedish in the ROM.
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Sorry yes have it as locale but not as dictionary...
[Nexus S General] Si.U:
need 4.0 ROM :D

be patien :cool:

btw.. thanks for share. downloading stock rom for i9023 :D
[Nexus S General] papriko:
hello where I can find ICS OTA updates ?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
There isn't one yet... nothing but alpha grade (early development) roms that may or may not be good for daily use.

Official update date is unknown but there is a chance it could come in December... worst case next year.
[Nexus S General] papriko:
I tested Koush Rom , ICS is so great but i faced some problems and i can't reply to his topic

1- if I call/someone call me, it can hang up randomly !

2- G Earth dosn't work

3- mount SD not working even the the "DualmountDS" apk mentiend in his topic

4- GPS resolution is about 2700 meters !!:confused: is this normal ?? ( the center of the circle is very near me but why's the circle so big ? )
[Nexus S General] pafaisal:
Please try Kwiboo's V3
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
The resolution problem may be caused by no GPS sat lock. Without three or more satellites to lock on to, the phone falls back to assisted GPS with nearby cell towers, which gives you a 2700-3100 m circle of confusion.

At least that's what I can think of...
[Nexus S General] vis80k:
tried to ask google myself but can't find contact info.

Am in Korea with Nexus S. ota stopped at 2.3.4!!

S9 started wondering. is it Samsung in Korea holding back on the ota? or is it google?? why the discrimination?

also, nexus s is supposed to be the same hw device worldwide, right? flashing custom roms from xda works well on my Korean nexus s with 0 problem. so, I am guessing there is no localization tjat is required additionally. then, why the discrimination??

am enjoying the benefit of xda, but still...
[Nexus S General] thanr:
I gave up waiting for OTA long ago, custom ROMs are way more fun, especially AOSPs :)
[Nexus S General] vis80k:
it just doesn't feel good being left out... that's all.

Xda is more fun indeed!
[Nexus S General] kirtivardhan:
Thanks mate!!!
[Nexus S General] CROrION:
Tried CM9, going back to stock, this thread helped, thanks!
[Nexus S General] baka59:
hi !

thx
[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:

[Nexus S General] ilnanny:
Thanks for posting all the info :D

i have a problem Nfc with i9023 2.3.6.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Have you run Cyanogen Mod 7.1 on it? If so you need the nfc libraries from here http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=750686&d=1318694775.

If it's not that im sure we can try to help somehow.
[Nexus S General] hitmanben2:
Thanks man it helped me alot
[Nexus S General] frenchbigdog:
Thank you for the job oldblue, the thread is already bookmarked ;)
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Where do I apply it?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
My pleasure. :)
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
As it is there its applied from cwm recovery on a deodexed rom. So if you are on stock it wont help sadly :(.

That being said im staying on my rooted stock due to that reason until the ota is out... got stock rom zip on usb storage waiting and ready.
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Ahhh poops, I'll have to wait for the OTA then. To much work rerooting again and set everything up again. :/
[Nexus S General] iB4STiD:

[Nexus S General] ahqball:
All,

My friend who's also using a Nexus S has received an OTA for her device in Australia!

Her baseband is 19023XXKI1
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
What OTA exactly?
[Nexus S General] ahqball:
Sorry, brain explosion... ICS OTA :)
[Nexus S General] honzajs:
Really ICS OTA for NS? He works for Google?
[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:
Prove it
[Nexus S General] randyist:
+1 prove it!
[Nexus S General] ahqball:
"She" yes... she does work for Google.

And to those saying "prove it"... you guys need to get out a bit more and smell the roses.

You all sound like a bunch of whining/demanding *****es!
[Nexus S General] iB4STiD:
Ok fixed the problem ! for anyone having problems just rename the zip to something shorter ex. stock2.3.4.zip
[Nexus S General] randyist:
Pretty sure that language and or behavior isn't tolerated on XDA, but that's up to the Moderators - we shall see.

[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:
By the tone of you . .you don't seem legit. ...tell 'her' then to take a screen shot of the about screen
[Nexus S General] ahqball:
Why does everyone on here think that there's some kind of conspiracy going on?

I gain nothing by reporting something false.

But if it makes you sleep better at night, I'm having breakfast with her in about 30mins time so should be able to "prove" something by then
[Nexus S General] evcz:
let us know if it's running kernel v3.x :)

thanks :)

I have CM7 stable on my nexus s. I'm looking forward to getting ICS but i obviously cannot receive it OTA with CM7. If i flash the appropriate ROM from your list will i be off CM7 and receive ICS when it comes out?

Yes, atleast thats the answer I got from here (=

I9020A in France

Hi all, I bought my Nexus S end July from Fido in Montreal. End September, while I was leaving Romania (roaming on Vodafone RO, which worked great), I received the OTA 2.3.6 update and installed it. Since then I have random problems (more frequent recently) with the sound, and more precisely I cannot hear anything while calling or being called (nor does the other part), and sometimes I only hear some blurred noise, like listening a fax machine on your phone (or a dial-up modem). I had this problem randomly on my way (by car) from Romania to France, i.e. roaming on multiple networks. Things got even worse here, in France, where I moved for work. I am on SFR network now.

Is it possible that I received a wrong update, that messed things up in my phone?

I 9020 A, Android 2.3.6, Baseband UCKF1, Kernel 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, Build GRK39F

Thanks
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
Probably minutes after the release there will be a flashable zip file on xda! ;) probably even before you can update your phone over the update notification! ;)

Nice
[Nexus S General] Jabaculemos:
I got almost all of the 2.3 updates on my phone this way, it would pop up somewhere days before I'd get the notification, I could never wait for the OTA update...
[Nexus S General] bravo04:
i'm really waiting for OTA update..
[Nexus S General] rcrd-pt:
hello guys. i've rooted my nexus s and instaled rom manager but didn´t do anything else. will my phone be able to update to ICS over the air or do I have to unroot it?

thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] mkoch820:
I want to know that too. I've got root, and CWM recovery, but everything else is original. I remember once I restored a nandroid backup (of an official rom), and it couldn't even update the Market...
[Nexus S General] ljordan2:
Cool! Seems that I am the only one with M200 that has lower android version than Galaxy S2.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Just download the latest full zip for your model from the post #1 and flash it... that will allow ota to work.

And yea the rom switch market issue... android market doesn't like it when you switch roms around not sure what happens on the inside.
[Nexus S General] mkoch820:
I'm using the latest ROM know, i was just wondering if I'll get the ICS ota by system update. But i'm guessing it will be uploaded here sooner :)
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
It probably will be here first but hey cant hurt to hope that it gets pushed :)
[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:
OK you proved it....now.....

Post the rom (and kernel) here...........NOW!
[Nexus S General] randyist:
god dangit . .that's awesome.
[Nexus S General] jlowey:
Last night, I saw ICS on a Nexus S owned by a Google employee. I'm seriously jealous. I noticed it when he was playing with his phone, and then mentioned it. He offered to let me play with it, then said: "oh, I probably shouldn't let you - I think that there's a couple of apps on there that are being tested internally". I've played with a Galaxy Nexus, so I was fine with that. ;) Very curious though!
[Nexus S General] Shivammcool:
Get it
[Nexus S General] dimeim:
Hello guys. Just wanted to ask about the ROMs on this topic. I'm looking for a way to return to stock - out of the box - Nexus S (2.3.4) and I'm not sure which road I should follow. I mean, is it enough to simply flash a file from the first page? It will probably unroot me, but will it also lock my bootloader? Also, will the phone update over the air to next versions (I want to go to 2.3.4 so that I get the next ones from Google, esp ICS).

I was wondering whether there existed some "download mode" for Nexus S like there exists for other phones.

Thanks in advance guys!!
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
You just need to flash a stock 2.3.6 to be ready and it won't lock bootloader that's something only you can do.

Here is stock 2.3.6: I9020T I9020A

Be sure to check your hardware version before flashing anything.

galaxy nexus ICS 4.0.2 (icl53f) released...

nexus s still waiting?

wtf!
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
The VZW galaxy nexus is rumored go launch on 4.1 and the test build on google nexus so is 4.1.
[Nexus S General] evcz:
the VZW gnexus has been launched with 4.0.1 and has been upgraded to 4.0.2 today:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/1...-will-receive-an-update-here-are-the-details/

the GSM gnexus full factory 4.0.2 image has been published too...

I suspect that at this point 4.1 rollout will take much longer otherwise if it was nearly ready they would have pushed it out directly...
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Interesting that CDMA Galaxy Nexus shot must have been developer build.
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
The 4.0.2 on verizons gn could theoreticaly only be a changed version by verizon... which isnt necessary an update then, but meerly a modified version like removed wallet etc...

Just speculating and beeing optimistic that well update soon! ;D
[Nexus S General] dimeim:
Thanks for the reply!

From that I'm assuming OTAs do work - so even if I install 2.3.4 I will get an immediate OTA to 2.3.5 just like when I bought my phone. Also, I suppose there is no download mode for Nexus S? How about updating firmware?
[Nexus S General] Reptilez_DK:
There is a download-mode, for use with Odin (maybe 1.83 - but allways double check). Samfirmware.com holds the answers. ;)

You'll need to register, I think. :)

[Nexus S General] stangri:
In the other thread it says it's for I9020T. There're mixed reports (from success to hard-bricking with the phone not even going into fastboot) reports on the I9023. There's no publicly known link for the I9020A OTA yet.

Works magnificently on my I9023XXKI1. Speed is about the same as CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 13 by KalimochoAz, stability is by far better, as one can wait for a finalized firmware.

[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Can someone verify that Google's OTA works on I9023 using stock recovery? I don't care if it works with ClockworkMod recovery. I want to know if I take an I9023 running STOCK 2.3.6 (no custom kernels, no root, no custom recovery, no customizations at all), will Google's OTA flash successfully through stock recovery and boot successfully?
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Works fine on i9023. Flashed with Stock recovery.

Wiped cache, data and so on to get a clean install. Been running since last night now. (=

There is no eur-version. Some European Guy posted a logcat after he got the update-notification - it shows the exact same file-address and -name as for the tmobile-version. Btw, it's been the same with the 2.3.6-update.

This is the link to the i9023 OTA ZIP update file, to apply on a stock 2.3.6 for european (italian in my case) model of Nexus S.

I saved it from /cache directory yesterday night, when it was downloaded as OTA.

I was able to save it 'cause my stock 2.3.6 was rooted :)

I applied myself the update and worked (and is working of course) flawlessly.

Help with Nexus S bootloader

Hi, I am a newbie here and hopefully i am posting this correcty, if i am not please let me know and i will post where it needs to be posted.

I have a Nexus S I9020 A running android 2.3.6. I aquired this phone and have done nothing other than a factory reset.

I downloaded the official android ics files and tried to install it.

when i try to go into bootloader i hit the power button with the reboot bootloader option selected and the screen goes of for a couple of seconds and comes back on to the same screen.

I tried the recovery option and it goes to a screen showing the android guy with a box above him and an arrow coming out of the top, this only stays for a couple of seconds and then changes to a tri angle with an exclamation mark. at this point i have to pull the battery to do anything.

my baseband is I9020AUCKF1

KERNEL VERSION IS 2.6.35.7

build number is GRK39F.

Thanks in advance

JP

[Nexus S General] purpl3rain:
Tried using an OTA ICS rom, but eventually went back to a custom one, Nexus Beam 4.1 to be exact. Loving it so far.
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
The problem is not the ROM, it's the combination of ROM and device. The very first post of this thread collects all the available ROMs for all the available models of the Nexus S. If you installed the right version for your model, you have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, I'm afraid you will have to roll back to 2.3.6 or whatever you were running before. There is a way to install ICS on i9020a but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing

You will have to root your device, install a custom recovery and then flash the correct build from the first post in this thread. Search google for "root nexus s" and you should find a very comprehensive guide made by nexusshacks.com. Can't give you the direct link as I'm not allowed to post links as of now, but feel free to ask if you need anything, although I'm no super expert myself.
[Nexus S General] CrackDaddy:
Which build?

My Nexus S is original UK version braught from carphone warehouse, rooted & running NSCollab 1.0.60 with franco kernel 2.6.35! The only details I have for phone model (box/under battery/manual/reciepts!) is GT-I9020/GSM!!! (baseband/I9020XXKB1) So could someone tell me which build is specific for my model phone?? :confused::D
