It won't be very long. The device profile and binaries for crespo4g have been officially released, so we have everything we need and it's just a matter of compiling the build. I'd estimate one should surface from somebody later tonight. If I don't see anything up by the time mine completes, I'll share what I have.
[Nexus S General] mike216:
Go to recovery in fastboot mode hit power button

When you see the android guy question mark hit volume up and power button

Go to apply update. Zip or something close to that hit power button

Make sure you renamed it to update.zip

You must be on stock 2.3.6 rom no custom kernel

When I get home from hell (work)

Ill make a YouTube video

I originally installed 2.3.6 for i9020A But now I'm getting a Status 7 when trying to flash the i9020T 2.3.6 ROM, and even a status when trying to flash back to CM7??? Ahhh, HALP, lol.

[Nexus S General] nawktonson:
Just bricked my Nexus S (T-Mobile).

Flashed to stock 2.3.6 ROM w/ ROM Manager and full wipe. Then attempted to flash the ROM from OP's OTA update link using stock bootloader. Upgrade finished and when I went to reboot, the phone no longer turns on. Tried pulling the battery but it doesn't turn on either :(
[Nexus S General] tonycw15:
Are you using Clockwork to flash it?

Interesting lol, status 7 never happened to mine when I flashed i9020T 2.3.6. It just went through.

Try wiping cache/delvik cache and also data. If not try restarting the whole process again

[Nexus S General] rub1k:
I used 3.0.7 (sorry, meant I used 3.0.7 above, not 3.0.3) which is the latest here:

http://androidsu.com/superuser/

It flashes fine, no issues. I can "adb shell" and then "su" and remount /system and do all kinds of root things.

BUT no root apps including Superuser work. I first get this:

EDIT: No idea why it says "3.0.3". I am definitely flashing 3.0.7.

Then, I click 'update anyway' and get this:

Can't get past that no matter what I try...
[Nexus S General] iPathik:
Well I am doing this on my cousin's phone and he doesn't have root anyways so its all good, he's really not a rom flasher or anything, he prefers the stock experience..I on the other hand is running NexusBeam HD 3.0 so i'll just wait for a pre-rooted 4.0.3 CWM flashable zip
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:

[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:

[Nexus S General] seriosbrad:
Yeah, apparently I was on CWM 3.x and it wouldn't work. Flashed to the newest CWM, then i9020T, and now ICS! :D
[Nexus S General] resetreflectt:
Google better show Sprint some love soon.
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
The su binary may need to be updated. But it's strange that the same binary (3.0.3) worked in the unofficial ICS builds and Galaxy Nexus devices. Maybe Google changed something.
[Nexus S General] tonycw15:
Sweet! Glad to know it worked :D

How long does it take for the boot to into ICS? I've been stuck on the boot animation for quite some time. I flashed the radio right after I flashed ICS without rebooting inbetween.
[Nexus S General] dwang:
wow, 4.0.3 is really fast. Google fixed all the performance issues with 4.00. The browser is buttery smooth now.

ok guys did ANYONE get the official i9023 ota...the t mobile version seems to be messing with the stock recovery...ANYONE ...?
[Nexus S General] tonycw15:
Mine took around ~45 seconds. It shouldn't take too long. If you've been waiting for the past 5 minutes I suggest a reboot or some sort.
[Nexus S General] rub1k:
Thanks, yeah, the Superuser APK prolly needs to be updated.

The su binary itself works fine because I'm able to run it and get root privileges from "adb shell" and do anything I want as root including editing files, re-mounting uhh.. mounts, etc.

It's just that the Superuser app doesn't seem to "listen" for apps that require root (to prompt whether you want to allow/deny them access to run the 'su' binary).
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
people ANYBODY here got the OFFICIAL i9023 ota on their mob...? the t mobile version seems to be messing with the stock recovery..ics works but messes the recovery..ANYONE guys?i9023???

I'm getting a status 7 installation aborted when trying to install the update.zip on an i9020a w/ stock 2.3.6 but with cm recovery. Do I need the stock recovery, or is it because of the i9020a?
[Nexus S General] hell_add:
installed from cwm?

I cannot get superuser working ok with that :/[/QUOTE]

yes, flashed on cwm, then checked the Su binary at superuser preferences and it was v3.0.3, when i updated the binary it said that there was no busybox but at the end, root was ok
[Nexus S General] xenonrider:
Flashed back to stock 2.3.3 and Google updated me to 2.3.6. Looks like I'm good to go when Google wants to send ICS to me.
[Nexus S General] rub1k:
I don't have an i9023, but what do you mean "messing with the stock recovery"?

On first boot (and all subsequent boots), the recovery is rolled back to stock via the /etc/install-recovery.sh script if it detects that you're running a non-stock recovery.

You need to manually rename that file (after successfully flashing and booting into 4.0.3) and THEN re-flash your recovery to CWM or whatever you prefer, etc.

It won't get over-written once /etc/install-recovery.sh is renamed.

Hope that helps?
[Nexus S General] hell_add:
btw im with I9020T

so maybe it dosent work on other devices :(
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
yeah..thats the point ..i have a i9023...now i jus read this on posts but it says that...wen they flash the t mobile version on i9023, the recovery then thinks its a i9020.... then they cant get into recovery an all...

For those of you who have errors installing, install the full 2.3.6 rom found here:

After that is installed then you can install ICS. Well that was what happened with me.

Now I have a question to ask those of you already on ICS: Where do I put my ringtones so I can have custom ones again?

I used to have it under sdcard/media/ringtones but they aren't showing up.

There's a directory just called sdcard/ringtones but it is also not showing up.
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Thanks the boot.img & system.ext4.tar from holtenc i was able to run it through android kitchen and make it a flashable zip.

Ill add download link in like 60 minutes when upload is done.

Woo hoo I got it. Had to reflash ICS and boot with the i9020t default radio, then flash cwm again and flash the radio from your post.
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
So everyone knows by now I'm sure that this does not work on I9020A for everyone, if anyone right? Oh and remember that guy Drew Garen everyone loves to hate? He's got an ICS Nexus S compiled....might be thanking him soon LOL. Ooooooh I can hear the comments coming!....:)
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
Lol, i posted that exact suggestion before, and people still kept asking the same thing.

As for ringtones, i use:

/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

for custom ringtones and notification sounds
[Nexus S General] faizalmzain:

Hi,

I rooted my i9023 with this OTA update.

But I am not able to get into recovery right now.

I read here some that people is saying after connected its i9023 with PC the phone bricked.

So, apparently I cannot connect my phone to PC.

By this way, I cannot install other rom if I dont have recovery.

Do you know a solution?
[Nexus S General] navjot94:
Who doesn't this work for? It is the OTA for the T-Mobile Nexus S. It should work for anybody with a T-Mobile Nexus S. If it doesn't work, its their own fault. It's the freaking official update for crying out loud. Keep your trolling bout Drew in the Drew Garen thread (till it gets shut down :p)

[INFO] Official ICS for Nexus S

Hi!

Today (16:12:2011) Google announced that the GSM version of the Nexus S will see its Android 4.0 update push out over the next month, starting today. Not a bad turnaround. Now let's see some carrier-branded phones get some love, shall we?;)

[Nexus S General] Soldier Blue:
Oh yeah, does this mean that we're getting updated binaries for the gpu and such? According to my understanding, the full source builds that most ICS roms are using now are also using older drivers which may not play as nice with gpu acceleration or whatever.

Basically, what has been changed specifically for the NS by Google?

[Nexus S General] terryhau:
Typing while you talk is working. But it's like 5 seconds behind what you say. So you have to say a pretty long sentence for it to actually 'type while you talk'.

Camera zoom requires hardware support i suppose.

Maybe we don't have face unlock because they think our front facing camera isn't up to spec. Or maybe they're just keeping it for the galaxy nexus only. You can always try pull the faceunlock apk and libs from somewhere else and it might work anyway.
[Nexus S General] tonycw15:
Good stuff! I'm hating the UCKE1 radio though...Rogers sucks around my area and I think it just made it worse...going to see if I can get UCKD1 working.

After putting them in, it takes some time for the media scanner to pick them up. See if it pops up after a few minutes.
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Whoa....calm down pal. Was trying to let people know its not safe for I9020A yet.....so they don't mess up their phones....and letting people know about another possible source for an ICS ROM. You need a time out :)

So this is what needs to be done in order to get the OTA ? (eventually) man my Nexus S was on stock for a whole 5min bfor i rooted/flashed !

MODEL: GT-I9020T
[Nexus S General] eizonuts:
hey i read your post from earlier and saw that you said this

"Boot into Clockwork Recovery. Flash 2.3.6. Reboot, boot into Android. then turn it off and boot into bootloader. From your computer. Run fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img (your clockwork recovery image. for those who don't know what I'm talking about. See CM7's wiki for a guide). After you're in clockwork, flash ICS. (It'll take a while). Then right away flash the radio. Then reboot. You should be in ICS.

"

I don't quite understand why we need to run fastboot and flash the xxxx.img again. Does this mean I'll lose my current CWM? Also i've been on Koush's cm9 ICS build for a while. Is there an advantage flashing ICS 4.0.3 over this? or are the performance differences barely noticeable? Cheers and thanks in advance!

A couple of people in Koush Google+ thread had reported it working for i9020 in Europe but I tried every way I could think of/ stock rooted 2.3.6 stock 2.3.6 and cm7 and couldn't get it to work so I was almost certain the folks on Google + were simply confused about the model Nexus s they did have or had a different i9020 than I have.

[Nexus S General] zeezz:
after you install the 2.3.6 i9020t, you will no longer have CWM. that's why you need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img so that CWM will be back. from there, you can flash ICS rom.
