adb is not working since I installed the firmware. I flashed with Odin, and I've got it up and running on two different ns4g's and adb is not working for either. it is working with my inc2.... any ideas? and yes debugging is turned on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] isaacfank:
if you downloaded the zip on your phone them it is in your download folder.

http://db.tt/mAXXDiNm

this is a wipe all zip to make thing easier.

reboot into clockwork using rom manager. then click through the options with volume keys and choose with the power button. go to install from zip, then choose from sd card. then download, then click on the zip you want. first wipeall. then do the rom. then give yourself a high-five.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superm1:
Curious, why are you pushing odin rather than fastboot? Fastboot is pretty straightforward.

I had no problems downloading the IMM26.zip, unzip'ing, untarring the image files inside, and then fastboot flash each of them individually.

You could probably try the Odin method, if you want to take a risk(based on what was said about it, but worked fine for me).

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] formula84:
I think its because its stock, we will need a hack i believe. Someone correct me if I am wrong here. You could use WiFi Tether app thats free.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] genetic_bloom:
It's been like this on the official release since 2.3.7. To use tethering you're going to have to be running a custom ROM or a tweaked version.

Was this using the WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth or USB?

I just downloaded his ODEX Stock and compared \system\vendor\lib\libsec-ril.so with what I have on my phone and the MD5 is the same? So he did not modify that file which is the file that needed to be hacked to fix stock tether on 2.3.7

Could you also try WiFi hotspot for me? and what rom are you on?

Easy Upgrade for Rooted Users

If you already have rooted your phone and have ClockworkMod Recovery available these are the steps I took to do an in-place upgrade.

*All* of my settings and applications remained installed and are working fine after the upgrade (from rooted stock ROM 2.3.7, with the exception of the native tether fix).

I strongly recommend you use the clockworkMod recovery partition to backup your entire phone. Then use your computer to copy that backup file as well as the entire contents of your "SD card" to your computer. Alternatively, if you are starting with a new phone or want to start with a clean ROM (I recommend this if possible) run the command "wipe data/factory reset" during step four.

Proceed at your own risk!

First download two files from the great @peteralfonso at download dot peteralfonso dot com forwardslash crespo4g

1. IMM26 Odexed, stock, rooted ROM

2. D720SPRKL2 radio file

Step two: Copy those two files to root of your "SD" card on your phone (I used windows, but you could even do this on the phone, they are then stored in the downloads directory).

Step Three: Open the app called ROM Manager on the phone. Tap Reboot into Recovery.

Step Four: Once you are in the recovery manager use the volume key to scroll down to "wipe cache partition" and press the power button. Use the volume keys and power button to confirm the operation. Go back to the main menu and select Advanced. Run the command "Wipe Dalvik Cache." Go Back to the main menu.

Step Five: Scroll down to "install zip from SDCARD" and select. Now choose the first option "choose zip from sdcard." Scroll down (or choose the correct directory) and select the file IMM260DEXD.zip. Confirm the operation.

Step Six: Once that process completes, return to the "install zip from SDCARD" menu and this time install the radio file "D720SPRKL2.zip"

Step seven: Go Back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now"

That is it!!! You should reboot into ICS after a few minutes of waiting and the automated app upgrade process.

Couple of notes:

Root is maintained and superuser did not need to be reinstalled. Wifi tether for root still works (but make sure you go get the beta 11). All of my apps are working great (wallet, camera, email, etc).

This entire install process takes about three minutes! Thank you to everyone that has made this possible!

is nobody having adb or fastboot issues? my device won't detect the device with either tool

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] livelyppop:
Hey thanks man, I went back and deleted rom manager then reloaded it over wifi and it worked. I have ICS running now. I did forget to wipe it. Can I go back and wipe it and redo or is it best to leave well enough alone? everything seems to be working. All my apps remained and it even "updated" them. Thanks again. I got the High-Five now thanks to you.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
So Joe, now that you installed the stock ICS (which i believe to be what's coming OTA), are the sounds ics or gingerbread? Are they any different than what you were hearing with codename android ROM?

No you can not update without unlocking boot loader. You may still be able to flash with ODIN and a locked bootloader but it wipes data anyway.

Odin wont wipe your SD but Make a backup (copy from computer) before just to be safe.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] solesonfire:
Just do the Odin method
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sahaskatta:
Probably a stupid question, but here it goes anyways. I have the latest update delivered OTA (2.3.7). I have never bothered rooting or using any ROMs in the past.

If I go a head and use the ODIN method to upgrade to this leaked 4.0.4, will I be able to undo everything to the Sprint official 2.3.7 or simply update to the official release of ICS when Sprint/Google make it available?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
So really what I told you was the truth. You were used to a custom rom that had a few custom sounds so when you actually heard the stock ICS sounds, you thought they were wrong.

Why did I think this? Because a friend with the cdm nexus told me the sounds didn't change with his ota update to ICS. Perhaps you owe the codename dev's an apology. ;)

Stock gb never had the wifi tether working.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
I'm wondering this, too. It's reversible if you root and then return to a stock build of gingerbread. There's a script somewhere where it puts you back at 2.3.1 and you get all of the OTAs including 2.3.7. I wanna make sure that it still gets OTAs w/out returning to GB cuz I know leaked builds for the revue couldn't get OTAs anymore, but Idk if that's cuz it's not rooted or what.....

right but this still requires Odin and can't simply be flashed via Android recovery, can it

and that also means a full wipe of all data, correct
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
You can unzip and just flash everything with fast boot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
No it doesn't require odin or fastboot, just custom recovery. As far as I know, the only component that can't be flashed in recovery is the bootloader (which may not even be necessary as nobody has confirmed that the bootloader was actually updated).

the first page of this thread shows Odin, Fastboot and CWM only. where are the instructions on how to upgrade via Android Custom Recovery?

just flash the recovery to cwm if u got root
