JRO03L was the delayed OTA released to Vodafone Australia customers. I believe it resolves a regulatory requirement to indicate only emergency calls are possible when no SIM card is present in the device. The JRO03L build displays 'Emergency calls only' in the notification curtain, JRO03E does not.

There are other minor bug fixes, but I haven't noticed any. I have JRO03L, but my wife has JRO03E (forced the delayed OTA by inserting a Thai SIM card)

I think is the culprit; check the diff for source comments:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/ef5d26119141b17c9b3879a1b6e36e6bb3fd931c

It will be interesting to see if further OTA's arrive at the same time as they have different builds.
[Nexus S General] Bls440:
Thanks for your input!
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
Thanks, if this is it, I won't bother updating to the new factory images just published. :)

[Nexus S General] degiovab:
I'm curious to know if JRO03L contains the crt-fix or any other improvement.

Is there a new kernel?

I'm amazed Google is publishing an entire new image just to display 'Emergency calls only'... a patch would have been simpler...
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
No it doesn't fix the CRT animation or give a new kernel. There are no noticeable changes other than the mentioned emergency calls fix. Performance is the same as JRO03E. JRO03L was just released to Australian handsets to adhere to Australian regulations. Not sure if it was released to anybody else.

I can flash with 4.0.4 put in a Thai SIM card I get JRO03E, with a Vodafone AU SIM, I get JRO03L.
[Nexus S General] Articudos:
No. Triple buffering disabled in JRO03L version (crespo only) because of performance issue.
[Nexus S General] Jedric:
Can the 4.1.1 (JRO03L) be used on i9020a?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Not directly. You'd have to remove the radios.
[Nexus S General] Jedric:
So instead of doing this:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-********.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-********.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-********.zip

I do this and skip the Radio: Would that work?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-********.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-********.zip
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Correct. That *should* work to you, but obviously you'll be off the official upgrade path, and I can't guarantee doing this won't mess your phone up. :)
[Nexus S General] Jedric:
Cool thanks will try... :) reason I want to try is because I heard people getting good battery life.

I will switch back if google release an official one for i9020a
[Nexus S General] Alexreiss:
problem with guide

i have unlocked me nexus S i9023, but when im trying to run adb reboot bootloader it sais error: device not found. please help
[Nexus S General] mischiew:
No, unfortunately not, they are ignoring this problem. I suggest you post it again mentioning JR003L doesn't fix the bug though they'll probably close it right away.

On their side, the Google Play support team claims it's not related to their software either, so basically the widgets are broken on the Nexus S and there is no reason to believe it will be fixed :(
[Nexus S General] alen1901:

To go to bootloader its easier to turn off your phone and turn it back on pressing vol up and power. If u wanna use that command u should go to stteings, dev options, usb denugging

"You're either NEXUS or against us!"
[Nexus S General] anshumandash:
You need to have right drivers installed for adb commands to work. They are diff from the fast boot drivers. You can Google to find how to install. You also need to have USB debugging selected in dev options.

[Nexus S General] Eclipse6S:
That was the reason why I asked if I could skip it. I am able to read but I wanted to make sure it would work.

For some reason now I can't get my Nexus S to go into USB debugging.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Im not sure because I didn't extract the targz. You MUST flash boot loader only if it is changed from android 4.1.1 (for example on galaxy nexus hasn't changed). To verify if it has changed look at the name in the targz that you download and compare with the name written in your boot loader. If they match you don't have to install.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Of course if you prefer to install everything feel free to install all. You can flash what you want separately. Only radio or only boot loader or only system. No problem mate
[Nexus S General] Eclipse6S:
Well, I had CWM on my NS and I flashed the radio and system and it didn't work. Then I had problems with my NS recognizing it was connected to a computer and somehow figured out how to solve it. I flashed everything new. I guess I'll flash SU sometime later once I flash CSM back on it.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
What about rooted stock rom with custom kernel and CWM recovery?
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
In general you dont have To wipe but you have to reroot and reflash cwm
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Okay I am about to do this but I dont quite understand this step.

I extract the image files and then copy paste the files into the platform tools. Now there is another rar file when you extract the first one does it need to be extracted as well? If yes then its contents also copy pasted in the platform tools or the folder itself?
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
I don't know how you extract it. The only relevant things is that you MUST have 3 files on platform-tools folder:

1) radio............ .IMG

2)boot loader....... .IMG

3)update........... .zip

[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:

[Nexus S General] Mario Christian Oquias:
ic.. well the problem was solved... my cache and dalvik caused the problems on my new installation.. so i just wiped everything or to say did a full wipe then proceeded to reflash everything again to make sure. all went well... now im on official 4.1.2 stock.. hmn...gonna give this a day or two... before flashing custom roms again... hehehe! cheers mate! thanks for the link and the support! i appriciate your contribution! :)

It Works

A big thanks to ale.landra - this worked a treat. I couldn't get my phone beyond either the bootloader screen or ODIN downloading screen.I down loaded the factory image for my phone and unzipped to adb folder (where I have fastbbot etc). I then unzipped again (from within adb folder) to get the image*******zip file. I do not know if my phone was in USB debug as I could not get beyond start screen. Anyway I set phone to fastboot bootloader screen and followed the instructions and 5 minutes later had my beloved Galaxy Nexus back. I am very happy and thank-you again. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus S General] md1008:
for what ever reason I was not able to flash the update image cresp-----.zip I had to extract the update image and flash everything manually. However I was able to flash update image in the past and it worked. In anycase back to stock gingerbread and flashed CWM and now back on 4.3. I am not sure what exactly the hang up was this time and not the others but glad to have figured it out

[Nexus S General] deshwani:
how do i update my i9020 via stock odin? do you have any link from where i can download tar or md5 file for using in Odin and get stock 4.1.2?
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
You don't need Odin to flash the stock factory images for a Nexus S. Use the standard ADB tools from Google.

Here;s the link to the images. You want the 'soju' images. The instructions on how to flash it are on the page at the top.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#sojujzo54k
[Nexus S General] deshwani:
thanks for advice, but i am on custom kitkat 4.4.4 rom.. i want to return back on stock... so still have to use same adb tools?
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
Yep, just use the adb tools to flash the images. It's really easy.

I have never used odin, so cant advise on how that works.
[Nexus S General] Bandis710:
Before I flashed this , I had this (when I restarted my phone to bootloader screen)

Bootloader version: I9020XXKL1

Baseband version : I9020XXKI1

This is what it shows on all I9023 afaik , In my screenshot you can see it still has the I9023 prefix after flashing ..
[Nexus S General] :
I used a powerfull torchlight to see the recovery anyway I still got the same error 7 as everyone. I had unlocked the phone to revert back to 2.3.6 so I flashed 4.0.3 using stock 2.3.6 recovery then reboot then pushed cwm recovery using fastboot then flashed 4.0.4 then reboot then locked the phone again.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Sorry dont understand. Do you have an i9023? Why you have i9020?
[Nexus S General] :
I think 9020/9023 bootloader and baseband (ROM) are the same.

We already stated that in a thread when updating to 4.0.3 from 2.3.6 : the version shown when you boot on the bootloader is 9020 even for the 9023.

I even remember someone stated in that thread that it was also the case with the 2.3.6 bootloader.
[Nexus S General] Bandis710:
I have an I9023 and when you go to system info you will see like I showed you in the screenshot it is says : I9023XXKI .. But when you press the power button and reboot into bootloader ( or just hold powerbutton and vol. up when you start phone) it says I9020 but like I allready said, that's normal ! There is no phone that is beyond 2.3.x that will say I9023 in bootloadermode simply because the same files are used for I9020 and I9023 ..
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Thank you for the clarification, for a while a thought at hundreds of bricked nexus s for my fault ahahah
[Nexus S General] daniele.s:
Done

Ok, updating from adb with this method without losing data works!

Thanks ale.landra91.

I have a i9020T

I was

4.0.3 stock

recovery stock

unlocked bootloader

Bootloader version: I9020XXKL1

Baseband version : I9020XXKI1

I ran

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot update image-soju-imm76d.zip

I'm on 4.0.4 stock :D
[Nexus S General] goldy_rocky:
My Bootloader Version is I9020XXKA3 & Baseband Version is I9020XXKF1.

Can I flash it to the factory image . Pleaseeeeee Advise

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
It should works on any nexus s with any radio/bootloader/recovery/rom/kernel ecc ecc. The only requirement is i9020T or i9023 and full wipe with -w if non stock before
[Nexus S General] Filipe Galego:
Hi,

Thanks for the tutorial but can you tell me if I need to do anything in the steeps below?

I'm ready to go after "fastboot update image-soju-imm76d.zip" ?

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
You have to do the last two step only if you want to relock bootloader (if yours is locked you don't have to relock at the end) My advice is not to do it until you have to send nexus to warranty, because if in the future you want to change ROM you have to unlock the bootloader and wipe all your internal sd
[Nexus S General] goldy_rocky:
Thanks for replying.

I am a noob here so sorry for asking again & again. I am running stock 2.3.6 so I don't need to wipe my data. right?

Can you give me some step by step guide how can I do it.

Sorry for bugging you.........

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S General] coolfranz:
Depends on if you want to have a locked or unlocked bootloader afterwards...

Edit: sorry, too late ;-)
[Nexus S General] :
Isn't it mandatory to unlock the bootloader first in order to use the "flashing" fastboot cmds...?!!
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
From stock 2.3.6 you don't have to wipe data. I don't have a link of a step by step guide but you have to do:

-install sdk, jdk and download platform tools

-open a cmd in windows

-go in android-sdk/platform-tools/ with folder and with cmd

-copy image in platform tools and apply my guide in the first post with nexus in USB debug mode

For the first passages (sdk jdk fastboot ecc) look at any guide on general section that speak about unlocking bootloader ( the fist passages are the same)
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Yes sorry. I didn't remember. I unlocked it the fist day and I never relocked. I never try with locked bootloader but maybe you can without unlock because they are official...as an ota
[Nexus S General] Filipe Galego:
Ok thanks.

But my bootloader is looked. Can I still use this tutorial?

I prefer to be ready to send for warranty for now...
[Nexus S General] elnahir:
Hey, big thanks for sharing this tutorial!

I'm on stock 4.0.3 I9023, IML74K (had an incremental update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6, then an incremental update to aforementioned 4.0.3). Plus, I have ADK, Java SDK, etc. Bootloader version is I9020xxkl1, baseband - I9020xxki1, plus I'm rooted.

Problem is, when I try to apply this: fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img ..in CMD I get this:

error: cannot load 'radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img

Any ideas what should I do? Sorry to bother and thanks again!
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Try it with locked bootloader . If fastboot doesn't work you have to unlock (copy SD card on PC before). No problem for warranty. On the nexus you can lock and unlock when you want with

Fastboot OEM unlock

Fastboot OEM lock
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
I don't know. Everything is correct. Also model number ecc ecc. Try to redownload image in platform-tools folder and re-do my guide writing everything correct and in the correct order (also reboot)
[Nexus S General] :
Yes. I was thinking it would behave the same way as when you have to unlock the bootloader to flash cwm recovery...

I'll try at home if nobody has tried before.
[Nexus S General] elnahir:
Big thanks for the quick reply! :) :)

I locked the bootloader, tried the same command and got the same error. Anyway, I'm re-downloading the image, I'm also think of reinstalling SDK, just in case. Will report later.
[Nexus S General] coolfranz:
Did you put the files into the "tools" folder?
[Nexus S General] elnahir:
Yes, I downloaded the image from the provided link and copied it in the 'platform-tools' folder, as written in the OP.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Because seems that it didnt find the radio. Put in platform and not in a subfolder (before extract ttargz 2 times) and check if the name is the same
[Nexus S General] elnahir:
Yes, I think I see the problem now. Will try what you said and report later.

Thank you greatly for your help!

I think unlocking the bootloader wipes not only the SD card but also all the user data...

You may also consider linking this usefull tutorial to OP (Part 1 & Part 2 except adb has now moved from the "tools" folder in Part 2 to /platform-tools) for those who have locked bootloader.
[Nexus S General] iggyone:
I get exactly the same message.

Downloaded brand new SDK, tested adb, everything works fine. Even flashing bootloader goes fine. But when I try to flash radio, same error appears.

I also have unlocked and rooted i9023 SLCD 4.0.3 stock ROM. Bootloader and radio are just the same...

I even tried re-downloading image and again the same error. It's funny how the program does not see radio file, but it's there.
[Nexus S General] ale.landra91:
Ask him. Seem he solved the problem

Well, that's strange. I've enabled USB debugging, tried to repeat the whole procedure again, but this time I get an error on the first command: http://i.imgur.com/a8j0S.jpg
