Guys, you should just stop trying to prove it to the trolls and noobs. Who cares what they think. let them talk crap if they want.

Even if you posts some files from the partial dump there will be people who will say it is still fake. who cares. let them pretend to be know it alls. no point in get bothered by other peoples ignorance.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
First off, I'll vouch for jcase in any situation.

Second, I've seen the kernel binaries, and though I don't have a Nexus S to try it on, it appears to be a Linux 3.0.1 based kernel, built on August 15.

Do you know of any Android version that isn't ICS that runs on a Linux 3.0.1 kernel ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrome99:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
follow this guide up until this point in the post

select Recovery

then it should boot into this screen, if not then repeat the steps to download the image

at this point instead of installing a rooted rom go to back up and restore then select Backup.

wait for it to finish then connect your phone to your computer via usb then go back to the main menu and select Mounts and Storage then select mount USB storage.

search for a folder called clockworkmod on your computer. Copy it to your computer and make it into a zip file. If you're awesome then you could upload it to mediafire and post the link. :)

Next select unmount after copying to your pc then go back to the main menu. Select wipe data/factory reset then select wipe cache partition. The phone is now factory reset and COULD boot.

what stops google from locking my phone again after i root and get it back working?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmaner:
Flashing another recovery will break the kernel isn't it?

So you will not able to boot in ICS again or you don't have a fully ICS back-up.

Instead try to root.

Then use dd if=/dev/block/ ect ect. To backup system and boot image so ICS will not damage and all nexus s users can flash it ;)

Flashing ClockWorkMod on a rom that is maybe not supported will be a waste off your luck

so don't follow lynyrd65's instruction?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Two things...

First, to clarify, you somehow got a leaked version of ICS on your phone and now google is trying to wipe it?

Second, use this guide instead so you don't have to install the SDK (not necessary on a mac):

1) Download this file (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22368847/adb-fastboot.zip) and unzip it to your desktop (Inside you'll find all the files you need to proceed including "adb", "fastboot", "recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img", and "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip").

2) On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>Applications. Select "Development" and check the box next to "USB debugging"

3) Connect the phone to your Mac via the USB cable

4) Open a Terminal window on your Mac (Applications>Utilities>Terminal), and copy/paste the following into the Terminal:

~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/adb reboot bootloader

Hit "Return" and wait for your phone to to reboot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode

5) If your Bootloader screen says "LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED" then skip to Step 6. If it says "LOCK STATE - LOCKED" then copy/paste the following into the Terminal:

~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot oem unlock

Hit "Return" and on your phone will prompt you to confirm and warn you that you are going to lose everything. Confirm. At this point you will have an unlocked bootloader.

6) Copy/paste the following into the Terminal window:

~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

Hit "Return" again and wait for recovery to boot.

For the following steps while in Recovery, use "Volume Down" to highlight a selection and "Power" to choose that selection:

8) Choose "mounts and storage"

9) Choose "mount USB storage". Your phone should now be mounted on the Mac as a Device called "NO NAME"

10) Move the zip file "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" from the "adb-fastboot" folder to the "NO NAME" Device on you computer.

11) Eject/unmount your phone in the Finder on your Mac.

12) On your phone, choose "Unmount"

13) Choose "mount /system"

14) Choose "+++++Go Back+++++"

15) Choose "install zip from sdcard"

16) Choose "choose zip from sdcard"

17) Choose "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"

Some people with new Nexus S' are finding that the file discussed in the following steps does not exist. If you cannot find it but can still reboot into Clock Work Recovery Mod then don't worry, you're still rooted and fine!

At this point you have root, but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent this, do the following:

1) Reboot your phone, and download the app "Root Explorer" from the Market

2) Open Root Explorer and navigate to the "etc" directory.

3) Tap on the gray box that says "Mount R/W"

4) Tap and hold on the file "install-recovery.sh" and rename this file to "install-recovery.sh.old"

5) Download the app "ROM Manager"

6) Open ROM Manager and choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". At this point you are all set :).

idk if google is trying to wipe it.

i plugged it in to recharge it... now sometime later i look at it and all i see is the name Google on the screen with a lock icon at the bottom, all soft buttons lighted up.

it wouldn't respond to me trying to power down with the power button.

my guess is that google or whoever is supposed to have the phone locked it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmaner:

from eyc: "You cried out that you were "probably" going to leave XDA over some trolls. Perhaps leaving is the best option for you, since trolls on an open forum hurt your feelings so much.

Also, and being quite frank, no one gives two ****s that you are going to leave. Honestly, no one.

Every time you post again in that thread or anywhere on XDA, your credibility and your empty threat deteriorates and you look like an idiot.

9_9 Off Topic but I've seen some hot chicks on here... nothing hotter than a chick that knows her phones insides lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filman:
So....it seems like it is ICS (In my opinion, this was caused by google...) The UI is similar to GB with some HC... I hope to see improvements in the background, that is what really matter.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
Don't get me wrong, normally I'd take Chainfire's word in a heartbeat. But some things still seem off to me.

1) IF this was a developer build (I'm assuming it is since it's ICS on an older phone rather than a newer one) why would the Android version be listed as "Ice Cream Sandwich?" Google doesn't do that now with their PUBLIC releases. Why would the developer device suddenly be super mom-friendly?

2) That voicemail notification occurs in COMMUNITY built AOSP ROMs. Stock Android phones (like the Nexus devices) do not have that issue. It seems unlikely that Google borrowed CM's code to the point where they couldn't get rid of the small nuisance that plagues AOSP ROMs.

3) While my post history will show that I'm every bit for helping newbies (to the point of yelling at people who think just saying "wrong section n00b" is the best course of action), but he seems...especially dense; yet knowledgable at the same time. It took him FOREVER to follow BASIC instructions, yet he knew to come to XDA to say what he had found. He is apparently very new or not particularly experienced with Android, yet he somehow realized that he was holding the next version of Android and leaked it to Engadget.

Not saying it isn't ICS. There are just a few things that don't add up to me (personally)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
I don't really care if the UI looks similar to GB. All I want is hardware acceleration. A smooth UI, like an iPhone. If ICS doesn't bring this improvement, I am thinking of moving to apple (as much as I hate Apple the company). Tired of my phone lagging out, or the browser taking 10 years to load a page.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourMainDude:
Hmm maybe Google did borrow the CM notification ... since its a Samsung device.. Didn't Samsung hire CM? Lol just a thought =\
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
And for the record, can we stop calling everyone we disagree with a troll? I learned in middle school that you lose all credibility in a discussion/debate when you resort to personal attacks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
1) Other leaks have been the same

2) Wouldnt be the first time google has accepted patches/code from CM/cm contributors

3) The problem with his instructions was he was on a 32bit mac and everyone kept giving him 64bit binaries for fastboot, once we got that sorted out it went fast and fine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
*is talking to jcase...cool :D*

1) Do you mind showing me these other leaks? Every leak I saw showed a numerical software number, not a name (not saying you're wrong, I just can't recall any of the ones you're stating)

2) I'm not at all doubting that they borrowed some community code. What I'm doubting was that they borrowed community code and didn't flex their Google-y programming muscle to fix the problems in that community code. That is entirely UNGoogle.

3) Kk :)

Barely anything changed in Froyo - gingerbread... New Black Notification.... green on a few icons... but well see
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
Everyone is getting so angry. Not as angry as a thread about an Epic 4g updating to froyo but pretty angry.

In all honesty it looks "cool". But, it could be better; and, I hope it's better. I'm sure it will be. But if it's not. It's ugly and I hate Google for giving me blue balls. (Pun intended).

Either way, more importantly. As long as the performance out does gingerbread. What more does everyone want. And if it's real or not. Who cares. It's right around the corner and we'll know what it is really. And we'll be getting it "soon".

And even if that ugly thing is ICS it's still better than iOS. (Hey, anyone notice that's really similar? ;))
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
There's a bug on AOSP ROMs that keep a voicemail notification in your notification drawer no matter what you do. Again, I conceded that he could have had a voicemail, I just find it rather convenient that he had a voicemail that he decided he didn't want to listen to before he shot the video.

And for the record, I don't necessarily think this is a fake. I'm hoping it's not, because it looks smooth as all hell :D. I just want to make sure I don't get my hopes up for something it's not. Just covering all my bases :)

EDIT: The Screenshots leaked weeks ago seem eerily similar to the stuff in the video,except for the kernel ....

http://www.slashgear.com/android-ice-cream-sandwich-photos-leak-on-nexus-s-11171226/

Since the kernel has been confirmed to be legit, this very well could be ICS. It's just an old alpha.

The animations shown in that video alone should be enough proof that it isn't just a cooked up GB ROM. The portrait to landscape animation has never been in any ROM except for MOTOblur.
