[Nexus S General] bdff:

[Nexus S General] iGoogleNexus:

-Google
[Nexus S General] castro08:
Yeah lucky GSM! Just wounded how long before sprint gets it..
[Nexus S General] Windsurfer94:
I can´t wait!!!!! :D
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
Being a GSM user now would seem like a good time to flash back to stock GB and make sure logcat is running.......
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
Sprint has their official Google Wallet support, we GSM'ers have (or, will have first) official ICS. I am ok with that :)
[Nexus S General] nikhil27:
wowwwwwwwww

its called fcking awwsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[Nexus S General] flomid:
Whenever Google "rolls out" and update to anything (Android, Gmail, etc.) it always makes me wonder what their logic is behind what users actually see it first.
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
Wondering bout the same thing...
[Nexus S General] liquidblue1985:
Doing it as we speak. *crosses fingers*

Edit: Flashing ICS now!

http://t.co/i8NjJoLo
[Nexus S General] beutelfuchs:
Ist the forums post counter.
[Nexus S General] Soldier Blue:
So, will there be an official full rom download from Google for the ICS version, or would I have to flash back to stock GB first to get the OTA?
[Nexus S General] sakisds:
Damn, I will have to wait a while then.
[Nexus S General] webisweb:
Fcuk yeah!
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
Did a quick search but couldnt find jack. Cant we just merge these 3 ics ota posts?
[Nexus S General] bgdxv:
Anyone got the i9023 update zip?
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
Can anyone confirm working on i9023 ?:) I would like top update from the android settings but my phone keeps telling me its up to date.

Using GB 2.3.6.
[Nexus S General] fightingroost12:
reeeeeeeally hate being a ns4g owner right now
[Nexus S General] waterface:
Well I guess I can wait and re-download that. But anyone can tell me if there is a different procedure to root on ICS? It'd be quicker for me at this point!
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
works on 9023 but still no solution for root ... anyone?...
[Nexus S General] evilpika:
Its working good here mate
[Nexus S General] tekkeitserktok:
It's working on mine... link from first post.

I'm in France, wifi and 3.5g working great :)
[Nexus S General] amasunka:
Flashed with stock recovery unlocked bootloader i9023 works fine
[Nexus S General] r4b3:
I got the same result when I flashed my I9020T. I started with a full charge, and there were no errors. It never came back from rebooting.
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
Hmm , I would like top update from androidOS dont wanna mess with this for now:)

Gonna wait few hours hopefully it will show up that I can update :)
[Nexus S General] holtenc:
ill get it
[Nexus S General] Valantin:
Your phone is bricked, you can restore it with fastboot or odin, flash the stock boot radio and system. if you can boot in recovery you restore a nandroid

I brick my phone now, and on restore i messed radio image, now with fastboot i restore it and my phone work perfectly
[Nexus S General] lgalkis:
Ultra fast the newest kernel..!

Very nice and speedy ICS Rom..!
[Nexus S General] Greg Tolan:
Hey every time I try to download it it says its unsuccessful. What gives?
[Nexus S General] bgdxv:
Using this on i9023 and the phone numbers are in format xxx xxx xxxx . Does anyone know how to remove the spaces so that it is xxxxxxxxxx ? Tried changing language to UK but it's the same. Also used morelocale and no luck :(
[Nexus S General] Mr.lol:
Can you put it in DL mode?
[Nexus S General] saryu:
okay, i just applied this succesfully.. it is great and fluid.. the only thing i notice missing is the face unlock option.. anyone else can confirm this?
[Nexus S General] mattkroeder:
Any first impressions from those who have it installed yet?

Would to know if it runs any smoother than asop or cm9 builds
[Nexus S General] kooskoos1814:
Me too ! It updated perfectly.
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
Anybody tried to update his or her i9023 with OTA method ? No updates showing up for me
[Nexus S General] narcosis219:
No response to any buttons.

When I plug into the computer, I see the processor listed as a device and windows asks for drivers.

What do I do from here?
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
nope, still showing legacy here :(
[Nexus S General] kooskoos1814:
Feels a bit smoother ;-)
[Nexus S General] evilpika:
So how can I root it????
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
that suuuuckkzzzzz :( we need busybox, right? no way to get it elsewhere?
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
In about 15 minutes the upload should be finished? :|
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Should be the same: fastboot oem unlock
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
no WIFI for me :(. came from stock 2.3.6. wiped data and cache in android recovery.
[Nexus S General] Eclair~:
Why hasn't anyone reported on how this ICS feels? Is it almost as fast a Galaxy Nexus? Or is it the Galaxy Nexus's SoC that makes it so smooth and snappy?
[Nexus S General] rds_sp:
It worked like a charm. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] saryu:
i'm not sure about no response to any buttons as i'm having no problem at all.. what i did is full wipe, revert to OTA 2.3.6, flash update.zip.. that's all..

currently i'm using windows 7, when i plugged my nexus s to pc, the driver installed automatically. now my phone recognized as nexus.
[Nexus S General] Stefanauss:
Anyone tried to boot stock recovery after flashing?

If i boot into the bootloader it says

Bootloader version: i9020XXKL1

Baseband: i9020XXKI1

even though my phone is a i9023.

if i tried to reboot into recovery, it crashes (with an animation)

Other than this, ICS is running great and working fine.
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
not sure if 9020 or 9023 with mine european device but that crash with recovery occured to me to, just flash the recovery again via fastboot
[Nexus S General] fabulous69:
no, this is clearly fast and smooth...

freaking good! i feel the hardware acceleration work :D
[Nexus S General] waterface:
DumbUglyDragon, that's for unlocking the bootloader.

I'm talking about ROOTING THE PHONE.

And yea, I'll wait, and thanks for the great job and done so quickly, Indirect.

But just for my curiosity, can you tell me why the rooting procedure doesn't work once on ICS?
[Nexus S General] bgdxv:
Yes, it seems like it's not fully compatible :( I'm gonna flash back to gb and wait for OTA
[Nexus S General] mkln:
exactly the same happens here (same bootloader, same phone, same everything). And I get su on legacy like other people.

yes this restores the recovery until next reboot.
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
do camera effects work?
[Nexus S General] Greg Tolan:
Keep getting download unsuccessful. What gives.
[Nexus S General] mfajmkas:
Wow, I just flashed the stock GB image from clockwork and 5 minutes later I got the 4.0.3 OTA.
[Nexus S General] dirk1978:
I've got stock 2.3.6 and I've returned to the standard kernel for flashing this but I can't get it to stop failing the asserts for /system/app/<anything>.apk . Flashing from CWM 5.0.2 so not sure what's going on.
[Nexus S General] Stefanauss:
Do you mean clockworkmod recovery?

Because that, it works.

But is there a stock recovery image avaible for this ICS update?

I might have missed that, but i don't think there is a compatible image for i9023.
[Nexus S General] gaz_armo:
Sorry for asking, but im in Australia and im on Vodafone. We dont have T-mobile here, so im guessing this wont work for me?.

Thanks

I have a I9023 by the way
[Nexus S General] evcz:
yeah, bootloader reporting i9020 here too and cannot get into ICS recovery...

so guess it got patched bootloader and radio... that might be also the reason of the DIM too low we are getting on LCD :/

what shall we do? :D
[Nexus S General] kooskoos1814:
I'm from Switzerland, with i9023 and it works perfect, just try ;-)
[Nexus S General] khemist92:
Aww man , Still no OTA update for my Hungarian i9023 =(
[Nexus S General] hay112:
You guys can you use these 2 links as well

[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
my i9023 is bricked :(:(:((:(::(( it doesnt even turn on in bootloader.. fully charged battery
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
If you are getting assertion errors,

Get the latest stock 2.3.x for your device from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664

Flash that and then flash this ICS update.
[Nexus S General] evcz:
take care!

on my i9023 it pached the bootloader (now reporting as i9020 instead of i9023) and the ICS recovery is unuseable...
[Nexus S General] narcosis219:
Hey guys,

So mine hardbricked after the update. No error messages.

When I plug into the computer, it shows up as SEC S5PC110 Test B/D. fastboot can't see my phone.

Anything I can try?
[Nexus S General] hay112:
I applied the update successfully but first boot up is stuck at the "google" screen (where it shows the unlock icon at the bottom)
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
same here!!!!!!!!! :(
[Nexus S General] evcz:
update forced manually or provided by google via OTA? i9020 or i9023?
[Nexus S General] haltemien:
Same thing happend to me just now aswell! Got no clue on what to do. I used the OTA linked at the first page of this thread. I'm on a i9023.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
Guys, someone posted the wrong su zip here. The correct one is here:

Now it is showing 3.0.3 on Superuser app, but not giving su permissions :(
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:

[Nexus S General] amedika:

[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:

[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Great.... thanks. Can ya PM me the link when you get it uploaded?
[Nexus S General] xenonrider:
Hi,

My Nexus S in on stock Gingerbread (2.3.6 GRK39F) and my phone is rooted. Will the OTA update still be applied even if your phone is rooted?
[Nexus S General] Soy_Filipo:
Couldnt update, it didnt work for me with cwm, I'm comming from CM7.1, does it has anything to do?
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
So if we flash the stock rooted ROM we will gain root again?
[Nexus S General] wrick01:
Any good on I9020A ?
[Nexus S General] evcz:
odin not working?
[Nexus S General] smachine:

[Nexus S General] Monnyaa:
I have a UK version (i9020), so will this work? Thanks

My Nexus S i9023 after update to 4.0.3 ... wifi & mobile networks do not working ...

please help me.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
I think I'll get a new one. i got 2 years guarantee..
[Nexus S General] bloomfield9000:
It doesn't work on 9020A yet, and probably won't anytime today. Have patience, we'll get it eventually.
[Nexus S General] keb00:
I think guaratee is not avaible for this situations, but try any way...
[Nexus S General] ericcarboni:
For anyone running it now, does Face Unlock work okay? It didn't work well at all on the custom builds, wondering if its flawless in this release. Thanks
[Nexus S General] tma24:
What is a kernel number?
[Nexus S General] holtenc:
worked for me. GT-I9020A on ATT. however, I can't tell you why it worked, because I don't know.
[Nexus S General] almostinsane:
Its not even a option to use.
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
What steps did you follow to install?
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
My mistake.
[Nexus S General] kriskovski:
there is no face unlock

kernel:

3.0.8-gb55e9ac android-build@apa28 #1

build number:

IML74K

baseband:

I9020XXKI1
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
In a word YES :-)
[Nexus S General] frank2342:
Works great but missing face unlock Option. How To activate it?
[Nexus S General] holtenc:
wiped clean user data, cache, and dalvik. flashed stock 2.3.6 downloaded from Rom manager website. flashed ICS downloaded from the first past in this thread. flashed UCKE1 radio.
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
anyone else got such a damn slow usb connection???
[Nexus S General] superblast:
They left it off for some reason.
[Nexus S General] onasri15:
Why no face unlock? That's supposed to be part of ICS.
[Nexus S General] theallian:
as said before probably because it doesnt work well at all on our devices
[Nexus S General] Si.U:
1 Year Waranty here..

i have bricked my phone 5 month ago..

and i get new nexus s from SSC

but. i'm not sure now :(
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
Now us Nexus s4g customers have to wait for who knows how long I hope its by next week I don't know why they couldn't just do all Nexus s version at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint Nexus doesn't get it to next year ****!!
[Nexus S General] AtomicPC:
2.3.6 Stock Rooted

Doesn't work. Re-downloading now but this time on edge. See you next week. Kept saying bad...
[Nexus S General] waterface:
No problem. There's a .zip to download to gain root after installing this OTA, from the other thread by Indirect.
[Nexus S General] juliano_q:
Damn, still not able to grant SU here :(
[Nexus S General] da5101:
im running same device worked from me im on vodafone in australia sydney
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
jup, looks bad :(
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Went back to my gingerbread nandroid backup and flashed the OTA. Booted just fine but got a random offset error. Anyone else got one? Should I worry about it?
[Nexus S General] kriskovski:
touch focus too

but iss not in this build neither ..
[Nexus S General] evcz:
yeah... no su here too...

tried even koush zip for nexus galaxy but still no luck ...
[Nexus S General] shdwstar:
I have tried various Superuser packages with no luck. I can get root from shell but not through other app (like Titanium)
[Nexus S General] evcz:
uhm... didn't tried from shell... so maybe it's just a superuser issue?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Ill get right on it :) My goal is to have that flash on existing bootloader/radio combo (stock 2.3.6 bootloader with xxkb3 in my case on my i9020a).

Will report back :)
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
I can confirm my Nexus S is a i9020A

I9020AUCKF1to be exact. Not OTA update here yet.
[Nexus S General] Soy_Filipo:
this update is only for the tmobile version, beware at&t users
[Nexus S General] tonycw15:
Just got ICS working on a Rogers i9020A (I assume it works the same for ATT). THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT WORK FOR I9020T, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON FIRST PAGE

Do this at your own risk!

Thank you to holtenc and others for providing some guidelines to it.

I was running CM7 Stable Build. Flashed a 2.3.6 from i9020T (Note the Tmobile version)

Downloaded a 2.3.6 ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664

Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader

Under the i9020T category.

Note: I got stuck here originally because flashing the ICS would give me a error code status 7. (basically means you're flashing the wrong ICS ROM). So you have to do the above or else it won't flash.

Next step download a radio from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884

Download Radio UCKE1 for i9020A (note the A)

And of course download the ICS ROM from front page.

Boot into Clockwork Recovery.

Wipe delvik/cache

Flash 2.3.6.

Reboot, boot into Android. (Your radio won't work, which is normal, because you flashed a i9020T (AWS) onto a i9020A (850 GSM) phone)

then turn it off and boot into bootloader.

From your computer. Run "fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img" (without quotes) (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, wipe delvik/cache again, flash ICS. (It'll take a while). Then right away flash the radio. Then reboot. You should be in ICS.

The first reboot takes a while...(no longer than 5 minutes), if thats the case try restarting the whole process again.

I know I'm new to the forums...(been lurking for a while). But see two photos I've attached for proof.

REMEMBER, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
[Nexus S General] w0mbl3:
Update just done - booting through the ICS boot animation now while it rebuilds cache etc (I wiped data/cache before installing the update).

Cool - I played around with the various ICS ROM's, and went back to stock 2.3.6 to wait for it.

And ICS boot animation done.. now at "Welcome" :D

Phone is i9023 (Australian Vodafone one bought a couple of months ago in anticipation of ICS).
[Nexus S General] nuno_mdj:
Im from Portugal, just updated my Nexus S (i9023XXKl1)... so far everyting is working good, no extra steps or patches...got to explore it now...:D

next is root
[Nexus S General] evcz:
done manually or via OTA?

if manually: your bootloader got patched to the wrong version (9020) and now you are not able to get into the official recovery anymore?
[Nexus S General] Monnyaa:
Thanks for the reply. Actually, I'm not entirely sure it's i9020. Reading http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 makes me think it might be i9023 since it's European.

How do I check? Cheers
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
when u say doesnt work what do u mean? no data? or it doesnt boot up?
[Nexus S General] rcrd-pt:
so, for those who have i9023 phones who updated to ICS and get the whole 9022 thing on recovery menu.. what´s the next step? return to 2.3.6? ICS is running fine though..
[Nexus S General] Stefanauss:
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to revert to Gingerbread?
[Nexus S General] evcz:
no idea :D

the backlight dim being so low looks very suspicios to me...

everything else is fine...

nope... but I tried to revert to one of the ICS mods that were using gingebread kernel to grab some backups and everything was working fine there too...

didn't yet tried to revert to an official gb to see if the recovery works fine there :/
[Nexus S General] m-p{3}:
I upgraded and so far no issues at all, just a wonderful new Android system :D
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
I always wipe cache/data and uncheck the "restore option" in backup before I enter account details for Google. Stops it trying to restore a billion apps.
[Nexus S General] P3DRAM:
dont answer for this? reset factory for fix this problem but this method dosent work :( im used original 2.3.6 rom and update to 4.0

can i flash stock 2.3.6 or 2.3.4 rom ? How ????
[Nexus S General] fineazbro:
another thing i notice is where you click edit your contact picture after you resize it it use to have a ok choice when done re sizing the picture, now it only say crop and cancel..anybody else notice that?
[Nexus S General] iPathik:
How exatly do you install it?

Just place the .zip file and then select the update from zip option in stock recovery? I don't have clockwork mod recovery on my phone..
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
I could kiss you! Got my root back, on a cm9 kang. Now people I suggest you wait for a custom ROM.

Sent from my Nexus S on CM9, Morfic's SEUV Kernel and some help from Tapatalk!
[Nexus S General] Valantin:
if I remember correctly the bootloader of i9023 is i9020XXKA3 and i9020XXKF1 radio (on information is reported baseband i9023XXKF1)

according to http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html

I dont know why recovery dont work but if i remember correctly bootloader is correct
[Nexus S General] thedynamix:
Hi guys,

Does any know if this manual update will work for an UNrooted O2-UK I9020XXKF1 version of the Nex S?

Currently running GB 2.3.6.

Thanks!!

TD
[Nexus S General] aic719:
When signing in there's an option saying restore previous data. Unselect it.
[Nexus S General] rub1k:
Hmm.. for those saying they got their root back, are you saying that you can grant root to apps requesting it via the Superuser app? Or just that it flashed correctly?

Superuser 3.0.3 flashes correctly and I can run 'su' just fine and do stuff... but Titanium Backup and other apps requiring root can't request it... or rather Superuser app (from tray) doesn't ever prompt for confirmation.

Furthermore, if I do the in-app check for su updates in Superuser, it says it's installed fine but if you say "re-install anyway" or whatever the option is, it dies halfway through.
[Nexus S General] sc0ri0n:
I downloaded the OTA and installed it on two Nexus S (T-Mobile). On one of them, I get two error messages upon boot.

When I click them to see what's going on, I get Google Account Manager has stopped.

I captured what happens when I click these error messages.

Can anyone tell what's the problem from the logCat:

Same here. I am starting to think that su is not ready for ICS yet or something.
[Nexus S General] evcz:
wow! thanks!

I have to admit I do not remember what was wrote in there...

I got an identical phone that was from the same production batch that is still running stock... Will check it tomorrow evening when I'll get on hold of it ;)

No idea why recovery was crashing... I left the update.zip file in there... maybe it was complaing due to that?

Before "crashing" it just show a red triangle and a robot that fall :)

PS: still no news on working su/superuser for 4.0.3? :D
