This.

I too have ICS 4.0.3 on my I9020T pure stock. The battery life is atrocious. Google is probably going to put out 4.0.4 with the battery issues fixed and release that to all of the Nexus S variants.

Also, keep in mind that we I9020T and I9020A owners went though something similar.

2.3.5 and 2.3.7 were only released to the NS4G.

The first incarnation of 2.3.6 (GRK39C) came out for I9020A only and was subsequently pulled from Google's servers due to the fact that it broke tethering. Soon afterward, 2.3.6 GRK39F came out for all the devices except the NS4G (which was already on 2.3.7/GWK74).

Lately, Google seems to like to release new OS versions to only one phone variant initially, to make sure things are OK. It's damage control really. If there's something really wrong with it, it's better to have a few users with the problem than most of your users with the problem.

So just kick back, chillax, smoke something and wait. All of you with NS4G and I9020A devices will get it soon and you'll be happier than most of us I9020T and I9023 owners are.

[Nexus S General] chewbz:
I think google should really release the update, more so the fact that it is a nexus. I'm some what mad that it is lagging but I do understand it takes time to compile a working ota that will be satisfactory.

Though I think moralistically google should not ignore the communities questions of the eta, because we're their biggest fans.

I thought Google would address their fragmentation issue better but then again I also though ICS would be lag free... :/
[Nexus S General] dictionary:
Far from a fanboy, but as others have already made the same argument I would make, I see no point jumping in. Lol.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Incorrect. The updates do come from google. When u have an update notification, go clear Google Services Frameworks data in "manage applications". The update will clear. This means the update is coming from Google servers. Every single ota we've gotten have been posted on google groups. The same exact zip package that your phone gets as a result from updating thru your phone. If sprint did disperse the ota's then that first update we got of gingerbread wouldnt of had tethering unlocked. Its in conjunction with sprint but for sure not issued by Sprint.

Anybody with stock, how does it compare to BB nightly.
[Nexus S General] edisepic:
this thread has some traction to it lol
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
Only reason waiting for OTA is the bloody updated radio. The GB radio on ICS is weaker... tested it with another ns4g and. The GB phone gets -64dbm vs -76dbm or lower on ICS.
[Nexus S General] lazydazed:
Start a thread about not getting an update on ANY forum and the sharks start to feed...

Maybe if we all start posting on Samsung, Sprint and Googles twitter and fb accts we might start getting real answers.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Google does have to get approval from each carrier before they will send the notification to each phone. I think if the phone is using a carrier that Google doesn't have any agreement with, then they will not hold it back. However, it is very possible that Sprint is sitting on the release holding it up for some reason.
[Nexus S General] co1458:
update

is it a good idea to root and CM9 until the official OTA then unroot and flash it ? Im wondering because Im getting sick of GB myself. but also dont wanna try anything stupid and destroy my phone. Wish the NS was easy to root like my EVO. though its technically supposed to be the easiest phone to root. Theres nothing easier than plugging it in and having a program do it for you (unrevoked3)
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
It's really not that hard.

And you won't destroy your phone by flashing a ROM as long as you know what you're doing. I plan on going generally the same thing, I'm running an ICS ROM now, but I will go to stock when it comes out, and run a custom kernel, because I must have VooDoo and BLN.
[Nexus S General] californiarailroader:
I am in a similar situation, and am also disappointed in Google as well. I am glad the devlopers on here have ICS out for the i9020a, but still Google has kinda fallen down on the job.
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
We have a one click method in the dev. section.
[Nexus S General] edisepic:
its super easy and i came from and OG EVO too.youtube it if you want or just go to the DEV section. if you want some ICS goodness id give AOKP a go to me this is the best ICS rom so far. and then get a kernel with support with all the goodies that NStools can control such as BLN mentioned before
[Nexus S General] :
I bet it comes out at the one year birthday of the nexus s 4g. Or when the galaxy nexus is released for sprint.
[Nexus S General] spikey68:
In order to make any changes to the original os on the move your phone needs root access.

Step 1 - Please hit the home button at the top of the page and read back to you 4 or 5 times the name of the site you are using.

Step 2 - Make your way to the nearest mirror and check for any signs of a stroke or damaged tissue around the skull.

Step 3 - Check your medical records and pay particular attention to scanning for words like autism and retarded.

This is a developers site. That is the only reason for rooting. Go do your *****ing on a Samsung site. You are truly one dumb mf.
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
I think so, yes.
[Nexus S General] mvan4310:
i think it is horrible that Google has been beaten by devs with ICS on the phone. When the devs beat the official release, there is a problem.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
Maybe Google is focusing on the next OTA of the GN.
[Nexus S General] HelgesenJ:
I have NEVER had a single stock release from a carrier exceed the work done here by the devs. I have own 4 android devices, hero, evo, evo 3d and now the ns4g. The only improvement that might come with the ota is a better radio version. But I have come to expect the signal to suck on this phone, so I am not holding my breath for any substantial improvements.

I guarantee that sprint halted the update at the first signs of issues and have now placed it in a holding pattern until after the galaxy nexus release to try and get more of us to upgrade and sign a new contract.
[Nexus S General] kaos1211:
I owned a nexus s 4g loved the phone but tried put a port made by swampgoblin and well got me a HTC EVO design 4g and ota for us is in the first quarter atleast they have said something. And this is with sense and they have atleast giving us a time frame. Sucks cause when I got the ns4g was told would get updates quick since bring a Google phone. Yet no word on ota, loved the ns4g but **** glad I got an EVO that's getting ics soon. Only thing I miss are the devs EVO design has no forum or roms or kernals, be glad they are around cause without them lord knows when ns4g would see ics
[Nexus S General] b1337:
Lol you're all backwards :p
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
The Evo is not slated to get a ICS ota of any kind as it has been moved to A EOL by Sprint and HTC. Any ICS builds will be ports.

°•neXus S4G•°
[Nexus S General] lazydazed:
He said the evo design.. I thought that one was getting the upgrade... Along with the evo 3d.
[Nexus S General] SComp23:
Reading comprehension is apparently not his strong point.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
Reading comprehension failure.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
4.0.3 has been ready for the GN (Google posted it was ready for almost a month now as well). However, Google hasn't pushed it out yet (probably more carrier hold up).
[Nexus S General] kaos1211:
Lol funny how people make comments without reading properly. And yes I know pure android beats sense but hey atleast I have some hope for ics to be released soon. And hell love sense not regreting my choice it has what I want plus don't need like 10 different apps to mimic what it already does. Anyways if I change my mind I can always trade my dad for the ns4g. Great devs on this phone make it hard to keep away specially since the design 4g has no root for the newest upgrade or roms.
[Nexus S General] FL0OD:
Agreed :thumbup:

[Nexus S General] Evo_Shift:
Reason i want an official release is for the drivers. I assume the ROM will be pretty bare bones but at least it will have proper driver support that the devs here can use, if that's where they get current drivers anyway. I'm hoping that would get rid of the lag and overall sluggishness of ics on the nexus s 4g currently vs the very smooth and fast gingerbread. I always thought the GPU with hardware acceleration was suppose to smooth things out in ics regardless of the weaker processor.

If the official release runs like the roms available now i wouldn't want to update. ICS now looks nice but at too great of a cost to the performance. Using ics on my Transformer Prime and then using it on my nexus s 4g is like night and day. It isn't enjoyable on the phone at all. Maybe that's because of the Tegra 3 in the Prime but before ICS was released it was stated all over the place that the GPU would make up for it because of the hardware acceleration and that it would be a better experience than gingerbread. Right now it clearly is not.

I also think sprint will not release the update until after the galaxy nexus is released.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
The drivers for ICS have been released by Google. All the ROMS we are using now have those included. That is why we can enable wimax. I'm afraid stock ICS will not be much different than most ROMs out there. The only thing that has not been released is a updated radio.
[Nexus S General] Esteway.619:
Ics runs super smooth to me compared to GB. I don't see where u think gb is better. I tried using gb the other day and it was garbage compared to ics.

[Nexus S General] tokuzumi:
What will happen first? The ota going out to the ns4g, or the code being merged into aosp? Just trying to get a feel as to when we should see 4.0.4 in the cm nightlies...
[Nexus S General] david279:
OTA then code merge. Most of the time the rule is with each ota they have to drop the source for it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:
A bit confused. is it not there or it is there but still not accessible due to limitations of factory ROM?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rjin9673:
It is there, without an antenna attached to it. It may be possible to activate with with a future custom rom, but the range will always be very limited without any sort of antenna connected to it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jsp254:
It may be there. Once the custom kernels/roms are working they will begin tweeking more of the internals and see what all is there. Picture it as this. All we've heard of so far has been mythical. They are indiana jones. They've chipped a small hole in the temple of NT. They are looking through that hole now. But they can't see/touch all the goodies yet, but its getting exciting.

WIFI Blue-tooth GPS, all-in-one.HDMI UI mirroring on.

Nook Tablet has a multifunction chip, WIFI Blue-tooth GPS, all-in-one. But this need the hardware guys to dig in, maybe they are doing something. Will need to see th custom ROMs start rolling first for any hope of getting beyond this point.

Heck, I'll be interested the HDMI.UI mirroring, with is enabled by the default setting, but not sure its working.

[HTC EVO 3D] abu_noah:
I know that MW3 is out. Anyway, here is a boot animation that I created for the Evo 3d and should work with any Rom. You will only need to use root explorer or something similar to copy and paste into your specified directory depending on what Rom you are using. Meaning, whether you are using a Sense or Aosp Rom, the directory will different.

You will use this directory for Sense: system/customize/resource or data/local if your rom supports it.

This for AOSP: system/media

and make sure you fix permissions and then reboot.

​

Also if using a Sense Rom you can leave it named as it is, but if you R using an AOSP Rom, you will need to rename it bootanimation.zip.

[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)

So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot :D you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Yes, I came from the OG droid so its quite a world of difference in the process to install stuff due to being S-on.

for amon ra it was like amon-ra-3.13.gnm.img or something its the name of the file you downloaded just don't forget to add the .img at the end.
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
no luck. Got amon ra and ran the command to install su and superuser.. still no root access afterwards =/
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .

I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...

I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).

So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.

Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
yeah, I have superuser installed. Nothing is getting SU access and as the above guy posted, all of the zergrush methods are completely failing. there is a rooted stock OTA ROM.. seriously debating that route now... =/
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I would try the rooted stock rom, but just not sure why it didn't work for you . I did all the steps you did and I was rerooted afterwards. Are you getting the pop up for superuser when an app asks for permission ? Sorry, was trying to be helpful :o
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Great ! I couldn't remember how I rebooted ! Sorry for making you do it so many times .
[HTC Rezound] racingtiger03:
haha.. if you knew how many times I attempted one click two attempts at the SU from amon ra is nothing lmao. Thanks for the tip! Just glad to have root back LOL
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.

So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).

Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?

Thanks.

Did you try flashing in fastboot? Download Amon Ra v3.13 and then use this command in fastboot:
