you need to flash the radio separate and i just tested the tether fix and it works on 2.3.7
[Nexus S General] rickthrust:
oh man as an epic 4g convert, i can tell you that i love the nexus 4g but i was very disappointed by what was out there for the CDMA NS users. this post a huge boost. these are roms that i was looking for and now they are here. thank you.

on another note, its sad that the Nexus is not getting the airtime of either the EVO or the EPIC. i have owned all 3 and i can confirm without question NS4G>EVO>EPIC. this is the best phone (antenna issue notwithstanding) in Sprint's Arsenal. i hope the new incarnation of the Nexus will also be a Galaxy S-based phone. the GSII looks like a great starting point. with Ice Cream Sandwich running, i'm sure i'll be buying that one off contract as well.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Thanks to the op for all that. Worked flawlessy.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Thanks. And thank you for these files BTW. It looks like there is quite a lot of us NS4G users and everyone appreciates any contribution.
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Reuploading GRJ06D now, gonna mow the lawn in the meantime since my internet sucks. I'll let you guys know when its up.
[Nexus S General] luckylui:
:)

Thanks Big Pete!

Evo 4G --> Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
GRJ06D is now uploaded. These will also be in ROM Manager as soon as koush accepts my changes to the manifest.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Can someone else correct me if Im wrong, but is google voice not in the GRJ22 file?
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Neither is other unneeded apps that can be downloaded in the Market (earth, voice, etc). No reason to include them. My Droid ROM does not include any Market apps either, just so I dont have to waste time updating them.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I see. Im dumb, that makes perfect sense. Forgive my noobness :D
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
No, it was a good question. As a dev it saves you time, uses less bandwidth, etc.
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
Just a heads up about ROM Manager, Koush has accepted my changes to the manifest but ROM Manager is still not working properly for the Nexus S 4G. Currently it is displaying ROMs and files for the Nexus S, he is working on fixing that. When he does my section will appear.
[Nexus S General] tandxcstar1:
Awesome. Ya I saw the Nexus S was still in there glad I didnt flash lol. Proud new owner.
[Nexus S General] eliseexige:
Thank you, I'm going to root mine now. New owner as of yesterday after having an Epic 4G for 5 days. :)
[Nexus S General] eliseexige:
Whoa, didn't know that my internal storage was going to be wiped! Good thing I had nothing of value on there, LOL. Maybe I did it wrong. Otherwise, it's running perfectly! Thank you!
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
fastboot oem unlock wipes your data, it even says in the disclaimer that you probably did not read :p
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
Pete just wanted to say thanks again for your time, it benefits us all :) Thanks to your work for your new phone also lol
[Nexus S General] texas83:
Is v.5 much better than the stock ROM with the netarchy kernel? what's the major differences?
[Nexus S General] eliseexige:
lol definitely missed that one Pete! Oh well, no worries like I said. Great stuff here, thanks again.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Your asking that question in the wrong thread :) V.5 is the stock rom. It just includes netarchy kernel by default, and a few other things. Nothing that seperates it from these.
[Nexus S General] BuglessPete:
GRJ22 deodexed has been added by request.
[Nexus S General] skola28:
I had the same issue; tried the official update from Android (not over the air), tried the update from Bugless Pete (Peter Alfonso), and finally just flashed the full rooted rom for GWK74 from Bugless Pete. It installed (took about 3 seconds) and then flashed the updated radio.

Tried to reboot, and got stuck at the 'Google' screen with the unlocked padlock icon. Waited about 10 minutes. Pulled battery, tried to reboot again, same thing.

Booted back into recovery, reapplied the GWK74 Deodexed Full Rooted Rom from Bugless, and this time it took a bit longer to flash (probably 20 seconds). Rebooted the phone, this time, it continued to boot. So far everything looks good. Wanted to post results in case anyone else encounters this.
[Nexus S General] unnamedapps:
Thanks for posting your experience. Did you have to wipe your data?

I am on GRJ90 stock rooted and want to flash GWK74 stock rooted, will this require me to wipe my data?

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] skola28:
No wipe at all. All data remained intact, been updated Google Wallet for the past 10 minutes :)
[Nexus S General] Smurph82:
What recovery is everyone trying. If it is the new CWM 5.0.2.0 (I think that is right) there may be some issues. Has anyone tried to roll back to 3.1.0.1 version of CWM and see if it flashes any better. I have not had time to flash this to my wifes phone but that is what I would try if flashing is a problem. And just to be safe I would make a back up using both the old CWM 3.1.0.1 and the new 5.0.2.0 before flashing just to be on the safe side.
[Nexus S General] skola28:
I used the new 5.0.2.0
[Nexus S General] solodogg:
3.1.0.1 works fine. just flashed the full gwk74odexed :)
[Nexus S General] yangers:
D720SPRKE1 Radio < --- This is a new radio?
[Nexus S General] MarkGbe:
that is a big 10-4
[Nexus S General] unnamedapps:
I used CWM 5.0.2.0. Download the new rooted stock ROM from Rom Manager and applied it, rebooted applied the radio, and one more time for the tethering fix. Everything worked flawlessly, now I have to to go find a store with paypass to spend my $10:cool:
[Nexus S General] njeske:
KE1 is newer than KE5??
[Nexus S General] MarkGbe:
indeed KE1 is latest.
[Nexus S General] njeske:
Thanks. Just wanted to double check before I flashed.
[Nexus S General] toddlmr:
Really? Seems weird that the numbers are in descending order?
[Nexus S General] baldwin69:
just wondering, why does the ROM have a sound recorder apk, yet i don't have a sound recorder app? is there something special i need to do to get it? or is this just a system thing related to recording what you say for voice search and stuff?

thanks
[Nexus S General] yangers:
Google Wallet doesn't work for me. It says "The application has stopped unexpectedly"
[Nexus S General] kalex:
Quick question. I'm currently on stock rooted rom and want to flash over rooted 2.3.7 ROM. Can I flash deodexed version or do I need to flash odexed version?
[Nexus S General] david279:
How are you guys flashing these radios? Thru fastboot or recovery?

Edit....

Flashed it thru recovery. all is good.
[Nexus S General] KarlMarsh:
I flashed through recovery CWM 3.1.0.1

First I cleared cache

Then I cleared the Davik Cache

Then I flashed GWK74

Next I flashed D720SPRE1

Next I flashed the tethering fix.

Everything worked perfectly. Google wallet works perfectly. Google is even giving a way a free $10 for those that activate a pre-paid card.

Another note is my signal strength for 3G and WiFi is better with the new radio.

Thanks BuglessPete!!!
[Nexus S General] mbsprinter:
Just did it the same way......painless!
[Nexus S General] toddlmr:
I flashed it without any trouble but am back on decks. On a sidenote, the new radio flash made radio signal better. I was sitting at desk this morning getting 18% signal (according to open signal app) and after flash in the exact same spot I'm getting 100%! Phone is staying on 3g and not switching to 1x.

Todd
[Nexus S General] kalex:
Hmm same here. My phone and wifi are at full 5 bars which never happened before in the same location
[Nexus S General] htj:
Awesome job getting this out so quickly. I flashed the ROM and radio from ROM Manager with no issue.

Added a credit card and the prepaid card to google wallet too.

I just need to try out tethering and see if that patch is still needed.

Thanks for all your hard work, Pete!
[Nexus S General] njeske:
Followed these instructions and everything worked great. I also did a factory reset since I was coming from a custom ROM. Signal for WiFi and 3G both seem better with the new radio as well.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
I couldn't find an explanation of what this tethering fix is in OP? I'm rooted w/ CM7 so native wifi tethering is working for me, is this just a bypass for those on stock?
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
Yes it's only for stock users.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

My 3G speeds seem slower with this new radio by my apartment at least. I will have to travel around the city to see what the speeds are. Sprint is generally retarded slow in BR and NOLA though.
[Nexus S General] david279:
I'm from nola. Sprint should be ashamed of the speeds down here.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Here as well.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
Heard that. It makes me want to switch to Verizon so bad sometimes. Except for the prices and phone selections. My friends with Verizon ALWAYS have 4G in BR and NOLA and it's like 5-7 Mbps. I'm jealous. I just want my internet to work when I stream Google Music etc. Not buffer for an entire minute. I can't even get my speed test to pick up a signal right now and I'm right next to LSU. You would think that their signal would be good right here. It's pathetic. Pisses me off sometimes. I'm not even that worried about 4G. I just wish their 3G was a consistent 1 Mbps wherever I went. Not .05 etc.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Or even better yet it'd be nice if the US were like the rest of the world and we can pick whatever damn phone we want and take it to whatever carrier we want and it just works. *sigh* maybe someday...

At least paying Sprint's $10 "premium data" charge in a place that was supposed to have 4G by now but still languishing in sub-standard 3G, makes me feel no remorse for wifi tethering :D
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
If your signal is even string enough to tether any info.
[Nexus S General] JewishMatt:
I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but I'm currently running GPA17 (2.3.5), and even after clearing cache and Dalvik cache, after flashing the ROM and radio, it keeps looping in the Nexus boot screen. Am I just not able to go to this ROM from GPA17?
[Nexus S General] mntbkr:
you may need to do a full data wipe. I know not fun.:(
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
I just followed the directions and am up and running perfectly.

FYI, I did full wipe (3 times), and both caches. I had backed everything up with Titanium as well as App Back Up/Restore. After I signed in, everything started reloading. Market shows some apps not reloaded, but they are. It

was very strange not having to run Restore, so something in Google must

have kicked in, I don't understand, but it was sweet!!

This was coming from CM7 and Matrix Kernel. However, I am missing

the 1.2 speed from 7.0, so has anyone tried going back to those with this

new setup??
[Nexus S General] whiteintegsg316:
Just got my nexus yesterday what is the new radio and what is the. number of the newest build for 2.3.7. Sorry I'm coming from a epic so I don't know the builds and radios yet.
[Nexus S General] Savdini:
Im sorry, Im a little new to all this. I just got my NS4G a few weeks ago, rooted it and set it all up and now this update comes out (my luck). Anyway, Im running the stock ROM and have ROM manager with updated CWM.

Can I use the GWK74 from GRJ90 OTA with CWM? and then do the D720SPRKE1 Radio & Tethering Fix For Android 2.3.5 ROMs the same way?

Will I still retain all my data/settings?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Prob solved!

[Nexus S General] Angry Gimp:
That's exactly what I did and all is working good. Might use titanium backup to back up your apps if you don't wanna have to go through and d/l each one from the market again.
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Not working...fully

I have CWM ROM manager. I downloaded the deodexed gwk74. Checked the boxes to clear everything & back up my current ROM. But my wifi isn't working, & neither is the google wallet...well, it keeps giving me an error about being able to add a card. I thought the ROM manager was supposed to do it all for you, lol! It did with the other ROMS I flashed...including a custom kernel. this one looks completely stock...other than a superuser app showing up, but no custom kernel. Is there more I need to do? If so, what is it? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
What does your kernel version show? (settings - about phone)
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
Edit to my question above about changing kernels.

I flashed Matrix 7.0, everything is running great except Spare Parts, one section on battery usage FC's. GPS is fast, Wireless on, Wallet works and all

other misc things I tried so no issues if you want to up your speed.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I would not use rom manager if I were you. I flash everything because I like to make sure the cache's and all clear first. ROM manager is just lazy and I don't trust it. It did not work properly for the EVO 4G and neither did CWM. I used Amon Ra but t does not seem to be a problem here on the Nexus.

On another note does anybody know the latest version of CWM? Mine says 4.003 or something like that. It's the one I got with the one click root method.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Google Wallet did that to me too at first when trying to activate a new card. I was on a wifi-only phone (i.e. no Sprint account activated) and I hit retry about 10 times before it finally worked. I think at some point I may have cycled wifi or airplane mode but then at some point it just worked, I didn't have to wipe or reinstall anything.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I did read that Google wallet is being delayed until Friday so maybe that's part of the issue.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Huh? Not true, many people including myself have used it successfully.
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Awww man. I forget what it said before I flashed pete's kernel 2.6.35.14+. It was the kernel that the new update comes with. Should I just try flashing it in CWM instead of using ROM Manager?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Try flashing the new radio (ke1) and reflashing the new stock kernel (2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef).
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
I have flashed the new radio & the reception is better, but still no wifi. It'll go from connecting to authenticating to of & it just keeps doing that over & over. I'll flash this & see what happens.

Flashed new stock kernel, & get an "error" message when trying to turn wifi on. HELP!!!
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
First, power off, and back on. Or do a battery pull. Then try rebooting in airplane mode. When that doesn't work, try fixing permissions & wiping dalvik. Then power OFF. Don't reboot.

Are you coming from a custom ROM? There might be some system data that isn't playing nice with the stock ROM. You might need to do a titanium backup, factory reset, and titanium restore user apps + wifi access points & system data.

Or maybe the ROM was corrupt. You could redownload, or just use the stock ota update. (I have a guide in the general section.)
[Nexus S General] ipatella:
Man do I miss the notification widgets from 1.3d (cyanogen). I wish google would really add that.
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Stock rooted. Pete's ROM. When I did this, I did it using ROM Manager & checked the backup & for it to clear data & dalvik. I'll run the permissions thing again. All else fails I'll just manually do it.

UPDATE: Ok, maybe it's my paren't router, cuz it connected to mine just fine. However, the native USB & Hotspot do not work. I thought once your phone is rooted & you get a custom kernel the tethering & hotspot become available? I have to use pdanet to get the USB tethering working. Yes I flashed pete's "fix" but it even says it's for 2.3.5. Any who, here's my set up: Stock rooted deodexed 2.3.7, kernel: Matr1x 7.0, flashed the ke1 update. Maybe I really just need to completely start over, lol! Thanks for all the help so far people! I really appreciate it! But yes any idea why the native usb tethering & wifi hotspot aren't working?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Whenever you're flashing a new kernel or wiping, it's a bad idea to reboot to system. Always power off completely.
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
5.0.2.0 - Check my sig.
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
Can I just clear the caches and flash it through recovery?
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
You don't need to clear your caches, as the recovery has nothing to do with it.

Flash it then hit "reboot recovery"
[Nexus S General] dascjb:
GWK74 Google Wallet

I am running the GWK74 stock rooted that Pete posted. Yesterday I put money on my google wallet prepaid card with my CC and now today I am notified somebody trying to use the card at Verizon. Coincidence? hmmm...... I dont think I will be refilling my google wallet anymore.
[Nexus S General] Rimmir:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but applying the tethering fix will re-enable both wireless and wired tethering, correct? Not just wired?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] MrDrumngun:
I've never done it but I believe so.
[Nexus S General] tobiasly:
Yeah I think it probably is coincidence, how many other places have you used your CC lately? Anyway you do have a point, it's fun to test out Wallet with the free $10 but I think going the prepaid route via a different CC is kinda dangerous because if something happens you're gonna lose that money.

Whereas once they support more credit cards "directly" you'll have all the regular buyer protections that come with using a credit card. So once I use my $10 I think I'll just wait until that happens.
[Nexus S General] treezy26:
hey guys was wondering if yall could help me out. I am new to the NS4G and was wondering which is the best kernal. When i purchased my phone it came already installed with 2.3.7. I used one click to root with no problems. I like the phone how it is just would like it to be a little bit faster. Im all about speed lol

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus S General] GeezyAF:
Try Matrix or Trinity kernel.
[Nexus S General] curtiswtaylorjr:
Many Thanks

I wanted to say thank you for the info. I was able to complete my unroot w/o Win whatever which I needed for the exe's I found other places. Maybe the following will help someone else in my predicament. I downloaded the software for the flash from nexusshacks which I found on their how to root page (very useful btw) and used their instructions with the ones found at the top of this forum. I thought I would not be able to find the stock rom b/c I had already searched high and low but found exactly what I needed here. Tip: You need to copy the contents of the unpacked downloaded stock rom to the folder named nexussrootnew. Sorry, I am just very excited that now I can get my battery issue fixed w/o being denied by my carrier.

Thanks Again,

Curtis

[Nexus S General] formula84:
Hello all, I have tried from reading thread to get the basic root and CWM setup on my new NS4G. I got it used with factory defaults and it was OTA'd to 2.3.7...

I have in Win 7 x64 drivers installed fine and I see "Android Phone" with a sub device of "Android ADB interface", I installed Java SDK and Android SDK navigated to "platform-tools" and copied "AdbWinApi.dll" and "adb.exe" into that folder.

When I do a Shift - Rt Click "Open CMD here" and do a ADB Devices or Fastboot Devices there are none listed.

I powered down and did Vol Up + Power and I am at a screen that says FASTBOOT MODE in red at top.

PRODUCT NAME - HERRING

HW VERSION - REV 34

BOOTLOADER VERSION - D720SPAKE1

BASEBAND VERSION- D720SPAKE1

cARRIER INFO- SPR

LOCK STATE - LOCKED

DOWN BELOW WHEN PLUGGED IN TO THE PC I GET

"STANDARD_SET_CONFIGURATION"

Can anyone point me to the right place I am bit lost as to what is happening here and why adb can not see the device.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Ok did you cd into that tools directory where adb.exe is in?

And adb devices wont work on fastboot mode, however the fastboot command should, assuming u have the right win7 binary for it.

First cd into ur sdk tools folder where the adb is and try it. If it works, it's just a missing binary issue with the fastboot.

If it doesnt work, it must be a corrupt .exe
[Nexus S General] The111:
Stupid question:

Notice the part I highlighted in red. Do I flash the GWK74 stock rooted ROM, or the GWK74 OTA update?

(I'm current on GRJ90 stock rooted).

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
the concept is your rooted so stock ota update wont work. so to answer, yes, flash the one linked earlier, where its the stock rooted gwk rom, then the radio, and follow the steps he outlined :)
[Nexus S General] The111:
That is exactly what I thought, but somewhere in this thread someone made it sound like he used the OTA files... which I thought seemed fishy. Thanks, I'll try it out in a bit.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
This is the stock kernel linked here, in a flashable zip?
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Yes. (Just the kernel itself. It doesn't include the modules/libs that are packed in with some custom kernels.)
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
Thanks

What does the 2.3.5 Tethering fix do? Does this make it so that Sprint won't charge for using the stock Wifi hotspot app?
[Nexus S General] mayankchopra:
He any buddy plz help me

Can I update my nexus s [its not nexus s 4g] to 2.3.7

my phone details - Nexus S i9023 with stock rom 2.3.6

please please reply soon i'm very keen to update my phone

Thank You
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
mayankchopra,

Last time I did that, when I first got my phone, it completely bricked it, had to use Samsung's restore via Odin to get my phone working, so I would be stay in

your forums. Hold on and let better minds answer, but jumping too quickly could make a mess.

bettzysdaddy,

Pretty much, it was free when we bought the phone, Sprint disabled in updates so I wouldn't turn mine on without this, might get hit hard. I don't use it, I just want the ability "just in case" and when I drive on vacation next month. Its also been invaluable in airports when they charge for internet.
[Nexus S General] jwhistler:
Returned to stock, now stuck on 2.3.4

I've been experiencing problems with dropped calls and may be having to make a call to Sprint. I followed instructions in the OP to unroot and have returned to 2.3.4 thinking I'd start getting the OTA updates fairly soon. That was 24 hours ago and still nothing.

I assume I missed something? Would appreciate advise to getting back to the point Sprint would expect to see my phone.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
jwhisler,

A lot of good people will help you, but you need to give a bit more info. What were your running - stock, rom, kernel, etc. Be specific. Since no one knows where you were, it could've been a bad flash, corrupted, ota patches, etc.,

If you are unlocked and rooted, just download and flash the rom on first link, GWK 74 (full version). Be sure to follow proper procedures thru cwm, with wipes, etc. This could help you.
