Had the same problem,

after flashing back to 2.3.6 I did a factory reset and then updatet to ICS.

That did the trick
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
When I flashed it I had the same problem.. I reboot the phone after first boot, and it was dead. it never turned on again.. its bricked. :(

im downloading ubuntu now to debrick using this method..

[Nexus S General] italia0101:
how did you flash back to 2.3.6 ? its not letting me
[Nexus S General] pilspeda:
Downloaded the *.zip from xda and then flashed it in CWM recovery.

Was as easy as that.
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
not to sound stupid, but i havent got clockwork recovery anymore? do i have to install it through adb?
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I did that and i got bricked :(..
[Nexus S General] pilspeda:
Yepp,

that's what I did too.

- Installed CWM through adb

- flashed 2.3.6

- etc pp
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
On which which ROM have you been before you flashed the OTA?

On some cutom ROM or on latest stock Gingerbread ROM?

I need to unroot in order to update ? Correctly I have CM7 with custom kernel after I did a full wipe .. or I should just update as it is ?

In messing with the OTA i found that it has bluetooth tethering added... and strangely it is compatible with the bt tethering on iOS.

Anyone tried this on a EU i9023GMS Nexus S or this is too soon to ask for?
[Nexus S General] Budge_uK:
Finally managed to get root access by updating the su binary in 2.3.6 then updating to 4.0.3 without any wipe. Worked a treat.

Edit: In fact this only gives me root access for any apps that previously had it, new requests are still being ignored, but better than none I guess.

Any chance i can update? Seems to work only for i9023.
[Nexus S General] iinlane:
Had the same problem. It disappeared when I installed the stock firmware from nexus S hacks site (I can't post a link here but google for "How to Unroot Nexus S! [i9020T][i9020A][i9023]").

I unrooted my phone before trying to install the 4.03 but I quess the clockwork recovery image I found from internet wasn't suitable for upgrade.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
How do you did that?

flash 2.3.6 with root and CWM??

update binary using superuser fixer??

then flash this ICS OTA using CWM??

are you flash this ICS OTA using update zip from sd card or just install from sdcard??

seriously someone has to make a good guideline..
[Nexus S General] navjottomer:
Flash performance on youtube is better then ever now !!!
[Nexus S General] CrabMan:
Is it rooted? If no then how do I root it?
[Nexus S General] Budge_uK:
Yes, but updated to ICS using stock recovery. New root requests are still being ignored but previous apps still have root access.

Not ideal I know, but better than none!
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
Yeah, the problem is not actually getting root. It's the prompt that comes up and asks you to grant SU to apps the request it, is not showing.

Guys some news to install it on 9023 without lost recovery? Some one are cooking a rom pure google with root enabled ^_^
[Nexus S General] 94wolfpack:
Anyone seeing any issues with the completely stock ICS on the TMo version of the nexus S?

Issues I am seeing so far:

Delayed scrolling when I swipe in the web browser. Seems as if the browser is trying to determine if I meant to click a link or scroll and the delay for the OS to decide is MUCH longer than it was on GB. (Maybe that was intended but maybe they over compensated).

The browser exits (doesn't even force close), just exits on certain websites when trying to scroll.

I hear reports of it being "buttery smooth" and honestly mine feels like it is slower than GB.. maybe that is because of my perception that the scrolling is slower...

Curious to see if this is happening to anyone else...

The only thing that really keep me down to manually update, is the incompatible recovery.

[Nexus S General] DoktorZero:
This works in i9023
[Nexus S General] marfillaster:
for unrooted

make sure you have the 2.3.6

1. download and copy the zip in the root of your sd card

2. shutdown

3. to boot to bootloader, hold power and volume up at the same time

4. select recovery

5. you'll see an android and an exclamation mark

6. hold power and volume up again to get to the recovery with blue text

7. select choose zip from sd card

8. reboot

i have custom roms before, so i backported to 2.3.2 and apply 2.3.6 ota before i was able to flash this rom. and yeah my phone is back to being locked and unrooted :)

btw flac playback is not stuttering anymore.

Una domanda a tutti gli italiani del forum possessori di NS i9020T, vale a dire la "versione T-Mobile" (se non mi sbaglio).

A noi arriverà l'upgrade via OTA? O no, e lo dobbiamo fare via recovery? Lo chiedo perché in America c'e ovviamente chi già riceve l'aggiornamento (e hanno il nostro stesso telefono), e ora pure i NS i9023 vengono aggiornati..

Chi di voi ha già flashato, come si trova? Io ho flashato ieri, ma non mi sembrava andasse bene per niente, poco fluido e rallentamenti.

My ICS runs fast, but it has quirks like recovery, brightness and no video playback.

Alla fine l'update ti arriva, ma non è possibile dirti quanto. La T non sta per T-Mobile, identifica delle bande di frequenza, più info nel link sopra

Il mio ICS va benissimo (i9023), è veloce, prestazioni ottime, stabile, ma ha dei difetti come la recovery, la luminosità e l'impossibilitò di riprodurre video. Non so se sono dovuti alla build o all'update poco ortodosso.
