This is for the Sprint Nexus S 4G (SPH-D720) only.

This includes a radio.

Do not flash this on any other phone.

Here is the official 2.3.5 -> 2.3.7 ota:

http://android.clients.google.com/p...41.signed-sojus-GWK74-from-GRJ90.2e8d4014.zip

This must be flashed in stock recovery over stock 2.3.5 (GRJ90).

You will lose root.

Boot into recovery (hold volumeUp + power).

If you see a yellow triangle, press power + volumeUp.

Select "Install update from sdcard," and select the file you downloaded. (It may be helpful to copy the file from download/ to the root of the sdcard beforehand.)

* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *

If you're rooted with stock recovery, first use this to flash clockworkmod or twrp.

. . . . . (Scroll down to Flash Resulting Output.)

. . . . . (If it shows an error, reboot and try again.)

Boot into recovery.

Install this to get back to stock 2.3.5.

. . . . . (Or if you're already on it, just reflash the boot image.)

Install the 2.3.7 update.

Install superuser.

To keep recovery from being wiped, install leave_the_twrp_alone.

If you're coming from a custom ROM, you might want to wipe dalvik and fix permissions.

Power OFF.

Power on.

Install & run BusyBox Installer.

NOTE: If you had downloaded the modded ota update before noon central time Sept. 20, please flash this to update your kernel if you have wifi problems.

Superuser md5sum: ca9d0de5dcdb54eda50ba66ae502c38c

Leave_the_twrp md5sum: 257e951f898906a864f070b47076729b

GRJ90 boot image md5sum: ccf3b6cace6d2d113c2c2b3e3242b876

The filenames of the ota updates begin with the first 12 characters of their SHA-1 checsums.

Thanks Jorge330823 for posting the update file, from which I was able to extrapolate the original filename and link.

Thanks morfic for the dalvik wiper.

Thanks Bugless Pete for the full boot image.

Ive installed this on my stock NS4G. Im on android 2.3.7 w/ wallet and everything seems to be working ok. Took longer than usual to boot though. Thanks!!!!
[Nexus S General] superm1:
Why would you lost root flashing over a stock rom? It doesn't go and remove /bin/su and su apk does it?

I would expect you should be able to flash over a stock rooted rom no problem.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

I just did the OTA on a rooted stock 2.3.5 (ODEXed) without any troubles. My bootloader is still unlocked and I still have superuser installed afterwards.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
It changes the permissions of su from 6755 to 0755. I was under the impression that this would have ill effects.
[Nexus S General] underbiteman:
thanks for the "without losing root" method and the update. i was having issue with wifi error, but the update you posted solved the problem.
[Nexus S General] superm1:
Ah, you're right. I didn't actually try to launch an application that required su, and now when I do I see that there are permissions problems. Fortunately the superuser apk is still there and generates a zip file to easily redo it it from recovery.

i don't undetstand. why google always update ns 4g and leave ns alone since 2.3.5.....

[Nexus S General] BlackHawkA4:
I feel as if Sprint is the new T-Mobile for Nexus devices and will get the Nexus Prime before anyone else this time around. I think T-Mobile has seen it's days for at least until we find out what happens with them.

Honestly. I think T-Mobile is on it's way out. It was GOING to go to ATT and it would eventually roll over TO ATT. Not stay separate. OR, in case, now, I guess Sprint would be able to get them like they wanted? Where it would make sense for Google to back Sprint first like they have been doing. Or at least Sprint is there go to carrier now as the cheapest stable where T-Mobile is a little shaky I guess.

Go to Sprint. Plans are cheaper n e ways
[Nexus S General] georgemv:
Great! I guess Sprint has coverage in Shanghai, where his profile says he is located.

I'll also be switching to Sprint. I imagine their coverage in Greece is outstanding!

Google is shooting itself in the foot with that behavior. They need to change or their policies will eventually shoot back.
[Nexus S General] decalex:
Hmm.. I thought I read this would cause problems.. No?

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S General] snowmanwithahat:
You think it's google's choice? I can almost guarantee it's a matter of the carriers not being willing to work with google to get things like full Google Voice integration working on their networks... Google wants their stuff EVERYWHERE, and it needs to be everywhere to succeed. It's the carriers that are afraid of google giving people power to do what they want. Not a single person from a carrier likes the nexus phones. Why? Included tethering out of the box... The carriers don't like Google Voice, why? That one should be obvious, they want to serve you up visual voice mail for themselves (at a charge sometimes). Android includes navigation software like google maps, where as sprint, att, and VZW navigator are paid programs from the carriers with absolutely 0 relevance now that google maps is on phones.

My point is that I can bet it's not google, I can guarantee it's that carriers are scared ****less about the power android gives them and don't want to give google any breathing room. Sprint's in a bad position in America right now so they're giving in and seeing where it gets them.
[Nexus S General] Tenhi:
@snowmanwithahat True! And that's also why at&t, t-mobile and verizon are joining forces to make their own mobile paymant system. But I think that google will win again :).
[Nexus S General] Savdini:
Hey, would you mind explaining exactly what you did to update to 2.3.7? Im running stock ROM.
[Nexus S General] georgemv:
I agree with you in general.

Nevertheless, the problem is IMHO the US phone market.

Operators have unlimited power over your voice and data.

Also, the phone/operator coupling is like a cancer for consumers.

Google should stand its ground with the Nexus line. Nexus phones should be technology demo phones and development tools. Nothing less than that.

Doing nonsense stuff like killing the tethering feature on AT&T Nexus phones, or stopping the updates on the TMO phones is going to shoot back, soon or later.

They have to make a decision soon: The orientation of the Nexus line.

Technology show off and dev tools, or mass market products?

When they have an answer to that question, the Nexus line will start to make sense again.
[Nexus S General] Savdini:
Does anyone know how to update to 2.3.7 and keep all data/settings? I'm rooted on the stock ROM. Can I just do the OTA? Will I lose root? If I do lose root, will I have to wipe phone and reroot (one click method)?

Please help :/

Problem solved!

Simply follow the first post instructions:

* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *

Boot into ClockworkMod or twrp.

Flash this to get back to stock 2.3.5.

. . . (Or if you're already on it, just reflash the boot image.)

Flash the 2.3.7 update.

Flash superuser.

To keep recovery from being wiped, flash leave_the_twrp_alone.

If you're coming from a custom ROM, you might want to wipe dalvik and fix permissions.

Power OFF.

Power on.

Reinstall BusyBox.
[Nexus S General] Tenhi:
Did you read the first post in this thread before posting here? You can update without losing your root. Just read OP and follow instructions...
[Nexus S General] Savdini:
Yes, I just noticed the edit. I didnt want to reflash stock 2.3.5 and lose data since I was already on stock 2.3.5.

Thanks!

Worked like a charm :)

Thank you so much!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imer:
Hi all,

If I take a look at the free internal disk space with either app2sd or Settings / Apps / Disk Usage, I can see 27 MB available on my HTC Marvel internal disk space.

But, if I check with root explorer, I can see 34 MB available on /system/apps.

Why a difference of 7 MB ?

Thanks in advance...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I am just guessing but I don't believe the "mini" apps on the touchwiz taskbar are like regular apps. Regular apps can't be used in a multitasking way like the touchwiz "mini" apps on the taskbar, which is why you can't place your own apps there. I believe Samsung would have to develope more "mini" apps first.

If you get one of the android launchers from the market like launcher pro or adw ex, they each have docks that you can place your own apps on. On adw ex you can even have the dock rise up and disappear like touchwiz's taskbar.

[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
I hear the O3D has 2 international versions, and both do not support the T-Mobile USA 1700/2100 band.

How can I tell the difference?

I already made the mistake getting the Thrill 4G without realizing it would only work on 2G for T-Mobile. Awesome phone but I would like to have 3G as well so I will be returning my Thrill and getting an O3D on eBay.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
there's been a lot of topics similar to this.

When searching online or on ebay, just go read the HSDPA bands. If it has 1700 on it, you're fine. Ignore the GSM bands since that's every version of the Optimus 3D will work.

http://www.atgsm.com/LG_P920_Optimus_3D_Black_p/phone-lgp920black.htm

Here's a link, sorry not ebay.
[LG Optimus 3D] sbrownla:
Ouch. You may want to get it from a retailer since you'll have a better chance at getting a better warranty. There are domestic (USA-based) retailers who have the O3D at good prices, AND if it's the wrong one you'll have an easier time returning it. Plus, they will be able to tell you if you are getting the right one with AWS/1700 bands. That's the one I have and I get 3.5G speeds on it. You can see other threads for some speed test results, and they are good.

Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjturner:
About a month ago I was running cog5v2 but kept having problems with my phone not ringing and getting media, Android, and wssyncmlnps failures. I couldn't take it anymore so I went to I897UCKF1 and then rooted. That's it. Initially I didn't have any problems but after a week my phone freaked out and i'm back to where I started with the same failures.

maybe this will help but it looks like the reason my phone isn't ringing is because it can't access media inside my phone. If I try to select a ringtone the phone reboots.

Thanks so much for any help possible,

I use DROID3 here in Poland... I have no problems with USSD codes, but signal strenght indicator is a problem also in DROID3... have no idea why... on my old Milestone I have full signal but on DROID3 it's only 1-2 bars...

I think it's only a software bug...

another problem is that system messaging app can't change pthoto size so it could be send by MMS... it changes the size but not enough... and than it tries to send 1 or 2 MB MMS so it fails... so I use Handcent...

I was linked to that forum, and i need some information

I want to root and i also, can someone tell me if it is possible to get rid of my text messages in my call log, anways can someone answer these questions?

1) how do i make a file on the Internal xd? is that the sd card that you can go out and buy or is it the one that when you go on like file manager on android assistant or even my files, that is the main folder there?

2)what is the difference between a ROM and a KERNAL?

3)does kies work for anyone else? mine always says that my device isn't supported on kies... i have the rogers infuse. I wanna know this because i wanna be able to back my stuff up in case i screw it up

4)was that accelerometer fixed yet?

5)I am a beginner at this rooting stuff but i did jail break ipods alot so i know a bit but almost all the rooting abbreviations i dont know. Anyways i got a thread called [q] Rooting guide - Infuse 4g and i wanna know how to do the stuff in there... Like is just doing this kernal thing going to help me get rid of the text messages in my call log or over/underclock my phone and get better battery life... Please someone help me i wanna root but i dont wanna screw everything up
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
Someone can probably answer all your questions better then I but yeah for Lies you gotta use Lies mini that's the only one that actually works with the infuse 4g. To make a folder on the internal memory just plug the phone into your computer via USB and select connect to PC from the drop down menu etc .. open it up and just create a new folder. Really simple. I think you may even be able to make one if your phone is rooted. The Rom is a whole package of the os running on the phone, can include kernal, modem, theme and many other changes. (Someone could probably define it better but definitley check the forums for info on what a Rom is) can usually make the phone faster too. The kernal I think is the base for the phone, not sure how to explain it. Do not ever ruin the kernal or you'll get bricked or atleast bootloops. AS for rooting I haven't done this yet on infuse only on my captivate. Hope this helped.

Just to be completely honest, other than rooting your phone, you may want to stop there. Adding customized features/roms to phones isn't for everyone.
