2.3.7 to ICS 4.0.3

I'm currently using NSCollab 1.0.60 and can recommend this rom to all my friends using nexus s. NSCollab 1.0.60 is fast, stable and battery friendly while I tried various ICS (stock/custom) and disappointed mainly of random bugs, hope someone can point me to a good ICS rom.

Confused

What is the radio.img file? Is for FM radio station reception or 2g/3g phone operation? :o

Can I flash it to my GT-I9020T (which isnt supposed to have FM radio) and it will work?
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
Radio.img is for the data and voice reception. There is no support for fm radio

Fun times with ICS and i9020A

I have i9020A with Koodo. I currently have working ICS except for 2 issues (which are probably my fault...)

Radio not working and cant install file "UCKE1-GRJ22-radio-nexuss-unsigned"-->Fixed, used terminal to push signed radio from GB

Root access messed up, followed guide at but I couldn't make it happen

Here is how I did it:

Followed the mac Root guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878446

Clean installed GB

Installed the ICS ZD3PyN0t

I can't find the radio installation guide anymore, not sure what I am doing wrong...

ICS looks great though

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] Dekz:
Confirmed. Just finished doing this as well.

It actually went smoother for me. Just booted into recovery, flashed ZD3PyN0t.zip, flashed recovery, flashed radio, done.

Didn't get stuck in a boot loop or even have to restore a single thing. My phone is just like it was 10 minutes ago, except it now has ICS.
[Nexus S General] hsnsumon:
What about I9020? Anyone have it? Or google didn't aired it yet!!! :(
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
do you mean the i9020A or the i9020T?
[Nexus S General] hsnsumon:
It's only i9020. I brought it from South Korea while I was there :confused:

No USA version is i9020...
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
Can you give us the full build string?
[Nexus S General] hsnsumon:
I am kinda newbie in this stuffs. Can u explain what you are asking actually?

I can provide you any file or folder or the whole backup :D
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
Nothing so extreme. We just need to know what model it lists under phone settings.
[Nexus S General] hsnsumon:
In bootloader screen it shows

Bootloader I9020XXKL1

Baseband I9020XXKI1

Interestingly, in about phone, it shows baseband only XXKI1.

I am now running MIUI 2.1.13

It showed same while I used other versions of MIUI by Brainmaster, even with the stock gingerbread too.
[Nexus S General] loketar:
Hi guys, new to the forum and new to my Nexus S I9020 A. I would like to be able to run ICS on my phone. Can you point me in the right direction for guides or a tutorial on how to accomplish this. Thanks you in advance.

Cheers
[Nexus S General] kd.fadi:
try system update for the beginning :)
[Nexus S General] LandBarge:
worked flawlessly on my i9023, on vodafone in Australia... didn't lose any data, contacts etc... (I didn't have root access before the upgrade)

my wife has an identical phone she bought about a month after me, and decided she didn't want to upgrade, as she prefers the look and feel of Gingerbread... she still hasn't been offered an OTA update...

not sure if that's voda dragging their heels as usual, or just that there is no OTA update available from Google in Aus yet... (I thought the awesomeness of the Nexus line was supposed to be OTA updates as soon as they were available, rolled out directly from Google, not waiting on any carrier fiddling with the package before release??)
[Nexus S General] murfi:
yes, its true. and ICS was available OTA in december already, but google took it back due to problems users experienced.

hopefully google fixes the problems and pushes the update again.

[Nexus S General] wickettaker:
Hey guys, currently on 2.3.4 and phone says I can update to 4.0.3. My question is that I've been reading thE issues people are having with their phones on ICS. So did google fix the issues and the version up for downloading through my phone is the fixed one? In the US, T-Mobile version. Thank you in advance. :)
[Nexus S General] forpulse:
So to confirm.. I just installed this ROM on Nexus s I9020A from CWM. I was on 2.3.6 stock rom previously and rooted. Now my question is am I still rooted? I still see superuser app so i guess i am still rooted?
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
I did a full factory reset and wipe before upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 on my I9023 and haven't seen any major issues other than the recovery menu being blank. I recommend the upgrade.
[Nexus S General] dendirk:
since when did you get the OTA ICS update???
[Nexus S General] wickettaker:
I got it last week but I'm not sure if the bugs are still in the ICS update or if Google fixed them.

Hey xdatastic, what do you mean recovery menu is blank? Have you noticed lag anywhere, crappy battery life etc since you've upgraded?
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
The recovery in the ICS update is coded for AMOLED screens and as such does not turn on the backlight of the LCD that the i9023 comes with. If you boot into it it will work but you won't be able to see anything unless you shine a very bright flashlight at the screen. You can of course flash a different recovery (assuming you are rooted) and fix the problem. Other than that there are a few other bugs going around (wifi not working being one), but not everyone is experiencing them. Keep that in mind when deciding wether to proceed with the update or not.
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
Yeah the recovery menu within the boot screen thing is blank so I can't use it. I tried with a torch but no joy. Might also be made worse by my screen protector. Doesn't bother me though cos I don't use it.

I haven't noticed any lag within ICS. I did reduce the window transition to 0.5 to speed it up a little. I also don't use a Live Wallpaper. I don't have many market apps (and none that auto-start at boot)

Battery life is same as Gingerbread for me. Not great, but not too bad. The screen seems to use approx 50% of my battery with Android OS using about 30%. I get a good 24 hours out of it with moderate use. About 4 or 5 hours gaming. I only lose about 4% overnight during my sleep. I bought a spare genuine battery anyway for about 25 aussie bucks.

I have been surprised by all the bad reports about ICS on the Nexus S. No major issues for me at all. Here are the minor issues I've noticed so far:

1. Contacts were not displaying name due to dashes or spaces in the number. I modified them all at google.com / contacts to fix it.

2. Recovery menu is blank.

3. Music autoplays through my car bluetooth after I terminate a call. Music also stutters every minute streamed via bluetooth. I also cant stop it via my car controls. Worked OK on GB 2.3.6.

4. No face unlock, no Video app, Android Beam is very intermittent.

5. The hostname dished out to DHCP via wifi has changed to remove the underscore and replaced with a hyphen (as it should be). It confused my router and me for a short time.

That's all I can think of. I do recommend the upgrade... but shame so many have had issues.

How is the battery life?
[Nexus S General] at_ease:
THANKS

thanks man! works like a charm - installed another OTA package on several phones belonging to friends & family - for some strange reason the package i used wouldn't work with one particular phone.

your package did the trick in the end!

thanks again for sharing :-))
[Nexus S General] glennkaonang:
I've tried this ROM and been disappointed with the battery life.

I left my phone overnight and when I woke up I lost around 30% of the battery.

Can the battery issue in this ROM be repaired using custom kernels?

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
I use 4.0.3 on my Nexus S I9023 and have no battery issues. Mine will lose generally less than 5% overnight. I have all the usual syncs enabled (gmail\g+\calendar\docs etc).

I have "Keep Wifi on during sleep" option enabled... not sure if that makes a difference. My 3G reception is very weak at my house and found using Wifi had some benefits to my battery overnight.
[Nexus S General] dadaz007:
No battery issue as well
[Nexus S General] flibblesan:
NO battery drain on my UK i9020 with stock 4.0.3 either. I suspect the very few users that have battery drain have some sort of hardware fault or a slightly different device?

On my phone WiFi is enabled and active during sleep. Plume, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Google+, Google Mail all active and syncing.

Working perfectly with Rogers (Canada) i9020a.

Radio: UCKE1 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884

Steps:

- unlocked and installed clockwork mod recovery with fastboot

- put ZD3PyN0t.zip and the radio zip in sdcard root

- use clockwork to install ZD3, reboot into ICS, reboot and install radio update, done.

Weird note: I kept having to use fastboot to reflash clockwork recovery each time I needed to get into it, otherwise I'd get the dead robot. no big deal though.
[Nexus S General] zhanjw:
the usb transmission speed is so slow that i can't stand it...Does anyone can help me feedback this bug to Google?
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
There's a file somewhere in /system you need to delete for the custom recovery to stick, otherwise it gets overwritten at each reboot. You can find more info in the Clockworkmod for ICS thread.

Upgrading and root in the same process?

I have spend an hour reading some other post and i dont found an answer. I have a t9020 with Cyanogenmod 7, and i whant to go to the 4.0.3 official but with root access. As i have read, i can do a full wipe and install directly the 4.0.3 but this will wipe my SU and the CWR. So my cuestion is that if there are any way that after or betwen the upgrade process i can include the SuperUser and the CWR. Is there a flashable SU that i can flash with the 4.0.3?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] Lazer Bear:
'Course there is, check the ClockworkMod for 4.03 thread or go to SU's official site.

Is there any official ICS for the I920a yet? Yes yes I've used about 10 different ICS dev ROMS, however I would like to know if the Official ROM is out? If not has anyone heard of an ETA? They are really taking there sweet time with this.
[Nexus S General] sienarot:
Just wanted to say thanks. I followed your steps for my Fido i9020a and it upgraded without any issues. I didn't even have to wipe and reinstall any of my data. This was the easiest, trouble free upgrade I've done since I got the phone. I went from 2.3.4 straight to 4.0.3 in 20 minutes.
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
I've just flashed this onto my unlocked UK NS. All seemed to go well except that voice doesn't work (ie. I can't make or receive calls) but data over 3G works fine.

I did a wipe and re-flashed just in case but get the same issue. It can see the network (T-mobile) and says that it's "in service".

Does anyone have any thoughts where I might be going wrong?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Maybe try resetting your APN under the settings.
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
Thanks, however the APN settings are all correct (just checked them). Wouldn't they just affect data/SMS/MMS etc. and not voice?
[Nexus S General] 10cheesecakes:
Is it worth it? Since Ive already rooted my Nexus S I wont be able to get the Over the Air update when it gets released right? SO should I just do it now and get it this way?

My 9020A from Rogers is currently at stock 2.3.6 and the baseband is UCKF1. Should I use the UCKE1 after upgrading to ICS or should I stick to UCKF1?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I've been using UCKE1 with no problems for almost a month now with 4.0.3 on my i9020a.
[Nexus S General] MaxNXS:
Thanks, for the reply. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Clockwork 5.0.2.3 image.

I installed ZD3PyN0t.zip from the recovery menu, it completed, but after I reboot all I get is the new splashscreen looping over and over.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Make sure you wipe data and cache from recovery and it should be fine.
[Nexus S General] MaxNXS:
Tried a second time after going back to 2.3.6 OTA and it worked.

Update:

Things seems to be ok, but while reinstalling my apps from the market, I'm experiencing what it seems to be a crash and reboot issue. The following games make the phone crash and reboot during install:

- Plants vs Zombies

- Peggle

- Fieldrunners

Update2:

Solved the problem with those games. I forgot to wipe data and cache from previous install. Just to be sure, I started over again after wiping and now everything works.

For the record I even tried the UCKF1 and UCKF1 (New Version) radio, but they didn't work at all, so I went back to UCKE1
[Nexus S General] iboj007:
Did it keep your SMS/MMS and settings as well? What version of 2.3.4 did you have?
[Nexus S General] YassinTP:
Does anybody know if the new ICS update for the Nexus S i9023 with the fixes from the first release has a scheduled release date already? Or is there no info about a release coming soon?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Google doesn't announce release schedules. We will know when people start receiving it. So far nothing yet.

Yes it has Thai language and nicely displays Thai websites and dictionaries even when English is selected.

You will have to flash a AT&T radio afterwards if you want it to work. But it does work just fine with the UCKE1 baseband.

[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
You will have to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM recovery. You can't use stock recovery to flash the T-mobile version on the AT&T version. Once in recovery clear the cache and data, flash 4.0.3, flash the radio ( http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&d=1313224429 ), then flash the 4.0.4 update.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
which version did koush originally release for us?

there is/was a project for fully functional recovery

still would be tethered

but I recommend just not.worrying bout it until u see something pop up reference to it.

the dev working on it is a very busy person ;)

V 5.0.2.5 I believe...it still shows up on rom manager, but whenever u tried to apply it, it would not actually take, the phone would just simply reboot. Then he said he got it going, but didnt want to release it because it only worked the same way ours did now by being plugged in & haven't heard anything since...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yeah I remember

but what kills me is I would DIE to have it functional even if its still tethered.

it sux he wont even get together with any of our devs to help out

wish he would just release the thing and let our devs mess with it.

but I guess we aren't owed anything by him. even if he does have a functional one that just needs to be tethered. I guess him getting that x2 was kind of a waste. o well
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
++++++1 indeed! Im pretty sure one of our great devs could get it going now the balls somewhat rolling...:)
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Ash just curious and trying to educate myself here. If his method is still tethered what does his offer that out current one does not? I hear his is fully functional but what does that mean? Sorry for the noob question :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
its more useful to our devs.

it would be able to use the so called "better scripting" I believe its edify since amend scripting is outdated and old. also should let us use ALL the advanced options correctly.

like I said tho. mainly helpful to the devs. allows for the devs to I believe have their rims wipe data and stuff when flashing instead of us having to manually do it.

I am not certain if that.

dragonzkiller had explained it briefly to me a while ago but I can't remember all of it.

also. I think nandroid would take less space as I think in the newer ones it creates zips instead of img. someone else with more knowledge will step in probly and give a better explanation on this subject sorry ;)

I'm a noob so I can't ask a question in the dev forum on this thread (where it would be more appropriate):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362961

I've got the ROM installed and I'm not going to complain about the lag because I've read that it clears up. However, I haven't seen any comments about 2 problems I have.

1) I'm on the east coast of the US and I've got the settings to auto-update over the network, but my phone thinks it's 5hrs ahead of my actual time.

2) When I try to download anything through the market or using apps (like SMS Backup +), it just crawls at a tiny fraction of my previous speeds.

Are these more "just wait for it" issues that will clear up or is there something I can do?

I've already installed CWM's Rom Manager and used it to fix permissions and rebooted a couple of times. THANK YOU!
