[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xjs1200x:
Running a EK02 uNamed ROM fyi

Was calibrating my battery, and let it slide all the way down to 0. and when I turned my phone back on it said it was December 31st and it was 7:09 PM. Turned my phone off and plugged it in, and it gave me a yellow shape (i dont remember if it was a triangle or not) basically telling me the charging port was broke. Turned the phone back on, flipped airplane mode off and on, and the signal refreshed and was fine.

I dont believe calibrating my battery did this, but do you think it was a simple glitch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidc23:
Probably a glitch
[Bravo General] marquae11:
Since the defy developer quarx is helping us fix the only problem we have with our custom roms, it is important that you remember to be patient and don't ask for ETA! Also in the meantime everyone should start making our own roms, not use the defy but our own. We could use defy roms as a base but we should start making our own custom versions of cm7 and miui and etc.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
I really hope we get it soon.

My bravo is damaged now, LCD screen is not working, Im going to receive my next BRAVO next week, then I'll buy a LCD screen for the damaged one. :D

ICS can wait... well not for too long, ICS is great!! :P

But now CM7 is for us.

I'd like to make it an OFFICIAL CM7 NIGHTLY BUILD also.
[Bravo General] BravoMotorola:
Lol, I have an Atrix but I've been using the Bravo for like 2 weeks straight now. It's such an addicting phone. And idk I like stock cm7 and stock miui...
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
You are right, both roms are great, but I'd like we have Gingerblur completly working.

I like the way it looks! ;)

Did you test CM7 with working camera?
[Nexus S General] zrutichun:
Is There An Official Repository For These ROM Packages?

I am from the west coast of the US and received the OTA ICS update on my Nexus S. I have been waiting for this update just as many of us but I was concerned about the battery issues the update caused for other users... finally I applied the update.

My battery with moderate usage lasted about two days (applications installed: Orbot, Firefox, Skype) with Gingerbread latest version. I was very satisfied with the performance of the device. After the upgrade to ICS 4.0.3 my battery life went to 9 hours at most.

I have read many forums on the net but none give a definitive explanation on the issue. Finally I found one that explained some known CPU bug.

I decided to downgrade to Gingerbread but could not find the official stock ROM.

Thank you very much for posting them. :)

Is there an official repository for these versions?
[Nexus S General] _android_:
The explanation of what each model variant is (eg. I9020T, AWS/2100, T-mobile, Windmobile, Mobilicity...) is missing from the main and sub thread.
[Nexus S General] mrjimyjohn:
Updated from 2.3.4 Gingerbread to ICS, everything is running smooth except the android market won't work over 3G. (works fine with a wifi connection) Any suggestions on what might be causing the problem?
[Nexus S General] _android_:
Try clearing cache and dalvik.

Is anyone experiencing issues on the Build GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio for ICS? I'm especially interested in those who use WIND mobile.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
I've been told that it's usually a good idea to run the right radio paired with the right ROM. Is there some reason why you want to run XXKF1 with IML74K?
[Nexus S General] etrain2:
I'm not sure if your comment was directed towards me, but I thought by matching the Build Number, I could have a nice upgrade. I can't attach images, but my information are as follows:

Android Version: 2.3.6

Baseband Version: I9020XXKF1

Build Number: GRK39F

I'm also not rooted.
[Nexus S General] sysadmn:
Also, check Market settings. There is an "Update over Wi-Fi only" checkbox. I don't remember if 2.3 had that or not.

@mrjimyjohn

To fix the 3G Market downloads problem on Mobilicity, go to Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

Click on the MOWAP and MOMMS entries and delete anything that’s in the proxy field for each one.

You may need to reboot after doing this to see a change.

can i flash stock 2.3.6 and then flash ics with the posted links?

Yes, or you could just flash full 4.0.3 rom if you wanted

Hi I have a nexus s i9020. is it different from i9020T or i9020A? Which one should I use for my device?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
If it doesn't have a A (check behind the battery), then it is a i9020T. They just use the T & A to distinguish in the US between the T-Mobile and AT&T versions since they support different bands but the T is implied unless it is the A version.
[Nexus S General] markkeny:
Could you give me a few pointers please....

I bought my google nexus s from carphone warehouse and its on the vodafone network in the UK.

The details from the phone are:

Android version 2.3.6

Baseband version I9020XXKF1

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef android-build@apa28 #1

Build number GRK39F

My phone has not been rooted, and is completely stock (apart for the apps ive installed). The only updates that have been applied are those that come OTA. Im doing this because Vodafone UK seem to have no interest in updating the nexus s with the latest ICS.

From looking at these threads, I think this thread has the correct software to download and install on the phone, so I downloaded the incremental update 2.3.6 > 4.0.3 - firstly could you confirm that this is the correct rom ?

So then I renamed the file to update.zip, and copied it onto the root of the sd card.

I then powered off the phone and turned it back on whilst holding the power button and volume up to get to the bootloader.

I selected recovery and then phone reboots and shows the google logo for a second or two, then a box being unpacked for a second, and then an exclamation mark with a droid underneath it.

Could someone please give me some pointers as to what Im doing wrong here ? If its a stock update, then I dont think I have to unlock the bootloader.

I can then pull the battery and it will reboot as normal.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
Once you choose recovery hold volume down and tap power once the Droid pops up, then it should enter, oh and fyi our updates come from Google directly, not carries

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
@markkeny: Hold the power button and either volume up or volume down. This will get you past that splash screen with the android and exclamation mark, then continue with the updating. If it's not vol. up, it's vol. down, it's been way too long since i've done it.
[Nexus S General] markkeny:
hmm...still not working

Thank you both for your suggestions. After selecting recovery with the volume keys, and executing it with the power key:

1. if I hold volume up and power, then it just reboots into the bootloader

2. if I hold volume down and power, then it just reboots into the old os, ie 2.3.6

3. if I wait until the first unpack icon and then press power, it still goes to the exclamation mark.

I might be missing something obvious, so to recap:

1. the update.zip file is still zipped

2. the update.zip file is in the root of the sd card

Are you both 100% sure that this is the correct rom for the phone ?

Ive tried both the incremental one and the full rom now, and have the same results for both !

Thanks again for your help

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

OK, I think Ive got it....

Wait until you have the droid with the exclamation mark and then its power and volume up.

Sorry being a bit slow on this.
[Nexus S General] mrjimyjohn:
Glad to hear you got it. :) Next step: Root, and then custom ROMs ;)
[Nexus S General] markkeny:
Thanks guys

So Im all up and running....Ice Cream Sandwich on my Nexus S

Cant thank you enough for this as Ive been waiting since the new year.

Will put a post on the Vodafone UK forum directing them over here.

Thanks again.

Going from CM7 to OTA 4.0.3

Hi,

My I9020T is currently on

2.3.7 - CyanogenMod-7.1.0.1-NS

Baseband I9020XXKF1

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

and I would like to go to Official Android 4.0.3

If I understand correctly I will have to do a full wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery

Is this how I need to do this?

wipe data/factory reset

format /system

format /boot

Then I can Install this zip from the first post

ZD3PyN0t.zip

Can someone please confirm my steps? I don't like to brick my phone.

Thank you.
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
Yes that is correct

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Nexus S General] nozyczek:
Thx for super fast response.

Will I loose clockwork mod recovery by doing the way I just described?
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
Yes, stock roms have a script that resets recovery on boot

After first boot delete/rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p then flash cwm again and it should stick

back to 2.3.6 ?

Hey,

I may be going back to 2.3.6 because my battery life on 4.0.3 isn't so good.

What is your opinion?
[Nexus S General] mrjimyjohn:
Custom ROM. give Codename ROM a try, 1.5.5 is super smooth and fast with tons of great features, and pretty good battery life.
[Nexus S General] Big Dog KMc:
Is this the OTA from December VQ8PQk_V.zip listed in the op or is this the new one about to be released in the next few weeks??

I just got my Nexus S I9020T A few weeks ago and like the idea of updating the device without rooting it or unlocking the boot loader.

At least I think I dont need too.

Do I??
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
Not to update with these zips
[Nexus S General] nozyczek:
Thanks for the suggestions. I may give it a try.

What is your experience with battery life on it? Can you elaborate please?
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
its very good for me, I have no issues with it, I did buy a 3300 battery though as nexus s battery is really quite bad even on gingerbread
[Nexus S General] nozyczek:
I went with Pixel Rom 1.60 + Air Kernel v3.6. Will see in a few days if it will make any difference.

Good thing that you keep updating this topic with the most "reliable" and "official" sources of stuffs..
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Now that Google has released 4.0.4 for I9020T, we have the link for the 4.0.3->4.0.4 OTA, but I still need the following:

Full 4.0.4 IMM76D ROM

2.3.6 GRK39F -> 4.0.4 IMM76D

If anyone would be willing to run 2.3.6 for a little while to get the download link that'd be awesome.

What would be even more awesome is if someone could run an older version (2.3.4 or earlier) so that you can get the download link to the full ROM package.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] ajorg:
Can we please have hR7QFEtn.zip removed from this list?

It seems pretty clear that the only folks who were able to use it are using CWM to install it. When an update for the i9020T is finally released it will work on the stock recovery.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
It works as long as you actually flash it from the OTA software. It only fails if you try to install it manually through stock recovery. If you get the OTA notification and tap "Restart and Install", it installs fine. This appears to be some kind of trick in stock recovery that Google has implemented in the ICS ROMs to stop people from flashing OTAs manually. I will, however, make a note of this.
[Nexus S General] TrIn@dOr:
0.0000002% of the cases, right?

[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
you could add this as 4.0.4 stock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Yes. That is exactly right. Beginning with the 4.0.3 stock recovery, Google has made it so that you cannot manually flash OTA updates in stock recovery. As the previous poster stated, you need to either wait for the OTA update notification on your phone or use ClockworkMod recovery to flash it.
[Nexus S General] ajorg:
For those who like to stay completely stock but don't mind unlocking (small subset?): You can use fastboot to boot a recovery image without flashing it.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
So it appears Google is releasing incremental updates from every version to 4.0.4 instead of releasing a full ROM. Not sure why they're doing this, but here are the links that I have so far (and have posted on the first post in this thread):

2.3.1 -> 4.0.4

2.3.4 -> 4.0.4

2.3.6 -> 4.0.4

4.0.3 -> 4.0.4

I am currently running 2.3/GRH55 so I can nab the link. If any of you would be willing to run 2.3.2, 2.3.3 (GRI40) or 2.3.3 (GRI54) to try and get those links, I would greatly appreciate it.

Nexus S - OTA update "2.3.6" to "4.0.4" - Brazil

Hi guys.

Yesterday I received the 4.0.4 via OTA (I was in 2.3.6 stock, without changing anything).

Considering I'm in Brazil, I had to change my brazilian SIM to the US "T - Mobile" one that came with my Nexus S to receive the update via WiFi. After that, the OTA came immediately bringing the 4.0.4 uptade. With my brazilian SIM, the update wasnt coming.

After doing all the update steps, I'm having one problem and I would like to find some help here in this forum:

The phone works fine but it doesnt connect to the 3G network (only 2G). Could you help me to make it works?

MODEL: GT-I9020T

Follow some details of the older specs and the new one:

Android Version: 2.3.6

Band Base: I9020XXKF1

Turn on USB debugging in your phone settings (in Settings | Applications)

Install aLogCat from the market.

When you get the OTA, do not reboot or do anything else on your phone. Instead, open aLogCat and filter on ".cli" (without the quotes). The link should be in there.

T-Mobile's simcard "forced" OTA update

Manauê, very nice tip ! I'm in Brazil also. Replacing my simcard with T-Mobile's simcard have "forced" the OTA update!

Congrats man and thanks ....

Are you pulling faster Data from your provider with the new Galaxy Nexus than the Nexus S ? how is your general impression with the new device ?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Well keeping in mind I have barely had the device 24 hours, so far I am really loving it! The screen is GORGEOUS! Hopefully they don't mess with it on some future OTA like they did on the Nexus S. Data speed is really good here in the Raleigh area on Verizon's LTE network. Definitely faster than T-Mobile's 3G data was on the Nexus S. Haven't done any speed tests yet though so I don't have any hard numbers. It's also amazing how well face unlock works on a decent camera. I don't know why custom ROM devs bother putting it in Nexus S ROMs. That 0.3 megapixel front camera just isn't near sharp enough.

The Galaxy Nexus is definitely a major upgrade from the Nexus S...especially if you compare them by the way they run Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Nexus is buttery smooth. Battery is definitely an issue but I'm sure improvements will be made in future OTAs.
