Not that I think it really did anything, but I also flashed the new KE1 bootloader.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
did you just extract the radio.pr.img and flash it via fastboot? so i guess the zip the OP posted isnt flashable right?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Nah, forget about it. The zip you're creating is meant for CWM. I was thinking more along the lines of a signed update.zip that people can use to update from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
If you follow the instructions, it will work perfectly.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] swamp goblin:
ohhhh, well i sent you the cwm flashable zip anyway. I thought thats what people had requested lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yeah, they did. Just go ahead and make a new thread. This one will be for the people who want pure stock or need to revert.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
thanks Korey, i really just want to flash the radio for now to test. couldnt tell if the zip you posted earlier was flashable or not, so i was wondering if flashing the .img from your zip via fastboot would accomplish the same thing?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
The radio bumped my wimax even more than the 404 we just got but did nothing for my 3g.:(

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
hey FL0OD did you flash the "flashable" zip or use fastboot?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
Yeah. Extracted the radio.pr.img from the file and used fastboot.

So far it looks like WiFi signal and speeds are better. 3g is about the same, but voice network signal is better. Can't test 4G where I live unfortunately.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I took the signed_radio.img, renamed it radio.pr.img and stuck it into a KE1 flashable radio.zip. It should work perfect
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Can anyone make a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this on a MAC? I know you can't odin, but I know you can fastboot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Flashable. Worked great.:thumbup:

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] LancerEVA06:
Just wiped my entire phone, extracted the tars, and fastboot flashed the images. AOKP+Air Kernel 3.8 was smooth... this is even smoother than that, with the stock kernel.

On a side note... my cousin got a 4.0.4 OTA on his phone about 10 minutes before this was posted.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] madeincanon:
Is there anything I should wipe besides dalvik before flashing the radio?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
JC tested for me and he said it is the smoothest ROM he's used on this device. I wouldn't doubt it. This is full hardware acceleration, no bugs, and ODEX. It's about as smooth as you can get
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
someone correct me if im wrong but i dont think you need to wipe anything...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
front to back, always:D

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yeah, at least for modem you don't
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
thats what she said?...... AY-OH!!!!!!!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] madeincanon:
Thank you, just making sure.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
No wipe needed to update radio.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Did you create deodex flashable zip? I was going to dump the images to get the prop files for AOSP builds but then ran across your post :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
I can't wait for later today so I can flash this. I have no pc access @home for about 5 days. So I have to wait. Thanks for sharing this. I super pumped:thumbup:

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blankit:
Is there a flashable rom? I really don't want to go through all these steps
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] tommy0823:
Flashed radio, working great here. I'm about 30 mins outside of Chicago. 4g is great. Its even working inside my house which is a first. There's less bars for 3g, but in about phone the signal is at -72 which is better than the -87 or higher that I usually get. Thanks o.p:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Not yet. Hurt ya to read a little? Just a smidge?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blankit:
Will this wipe my root? I'm not quite sure what he meant by erasing all data
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
im sorry but you leave me no choice ;)

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blankit:
Haha yea I read but I don't want to lose root access
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] swamp goblin:
deodexed and odexed rooted zipalign blah blah blah.. flashable zips are almost ready :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rp076:
Just flashed radio zip..not much change in 3G speed, but definitely a big difference in 4G...all butta! Can't wait to flash! :D Thank you very much
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
So could we use the unzipped images to restore to stock and then OEM lock our boot loaders and be completely stock unrooted and locked? Is this the FINAL OTA or just another test build?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
And..... It gets worse.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
Going through steps sometimes is part of learning how to use your phone. And if you dont already know what erase all data means its possible that you might not be quite ready to do something like this. It might be better to wait a day or two till they make it more simple.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blankit:
Dude I'm a noob so bare with me
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] blankit:
I was just wondering if it got rid of root access or if it just did a full wipe like when you are installing a different rom....some elaboration would be appreciated
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] swamp goblin:
My flashable zips will keep your root, your recovery, everything. You will have to wipe data/factory reset in the clockwork mod menu before flashing (this erases your downloaded apps, sign in info, that stuff.. doesnt delete anything on sd card/internal storage) , but otherwise you keep everything else.

radio, bootloader, and all that have to be flashed seperately than my zips.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Yes it will unroot your phone. You may want to wait until someone makes a flashable rooted zip

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
You lose ALL data, aka apps, photos, music, etc. and become full stock, meaning no root. Worst case scenario you flash an ICS superuser zip and 5 minutes later... TADA!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rp076:
Here's a screenshot..full 4G after flashing new radio zip....and I live 10 minutes outside of town...I'm usually lucky to get 1-2 bars... ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Just heard from a little fairy, there is one in the pipe coming very soon.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
Looks like they finaalllllyyyyyyyy fixed the radio! Is wifi better, too?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
You mean OTA?!?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Wifi seems about the same but I haven't really tested it outside yet
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rp076:
Seems like both are good so far..:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shabgard:
How is this official if no one got the OTA yet?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
No like rooted flashable zip. Who wants a OTA?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Korey has connects at Sprint. I actually have an update that showed up on my laptop with picture install instructions but I didn't try it yet because I was testing this
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Sometimes people know people.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
Thanks jw I'm just really happy! It's been almost 4 months and I was just hoping we wouldn't get any more dangerously close to waiting 6 months ON A NEXUS! Although I'd prefer a stable long-awaited build to a rushed buggy build any day ;-) (looks at honeycomb)

WinXP- Gingerbread (ugly, really stable, on most devices)

WinVista- Honeycomb (gets bad rep, not THAT horrible but still not comparable to XP/Gingerbread, requires many patches and ruins app compatibility)

Win7- Ice Cream Sandwich (pretty, new UI that builds on Vista/Honeycomb, most bugs ironed out, slow adoption at first, good reviews, fixes some compatibility issues, makes it almost impossible to go back to any previous version, XP or Vista, did I mention AWESOME?!?)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
April fools everyone!!!

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You want to see something strange? This showed up on my laptop and I didn't put it there..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
This is the real thing. Also this is as close to flashable as you will get for pure stock. Swamp is working on cwm flashes.

I will say that John was able to root this using shabby aio one click root. He can explain the details better. This is rootable though.

And there aren't that many steps. I actually broke a bunch of them apart to make it a clear as possible. You can do this full thing in like 15 minutes if you don't have drivers installed already
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
El Diablo?

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
That's really weird... is that the Samsung test build downloader software or something?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
John's in so deep it could be some android test software for the cia.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah I rooted by using Shabby's one click to get the recovery and instead of flashing the root.zip I flashed the su.3.0.7efghi zip. Here's that in case anyone wants it...

http://db.tt/TOa8MrSo
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
el chupacabra?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well it looks like samsungs consumer updating tool. They had released it awhile ago for the epic eb13 update and I believe the nexus s 4g had a leak of it once
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
possibly. I had a girl that used to work with me and we used to call her little two year old that. That's terrible, I'm going straight to hell for that, lol.

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I don't know how it got there! Its called Samsung SimpleDL
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yep exactly what I thought. That's the same exact thing the epic and moment used when sprint and Samsung released the full rom to the public
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
So you didn't install it and it just appeared?!? Wtf freaky **** is that! Creepy... unless you already used it once on the moment or epic or whatever once and forgot about it, but still... "CIA ninjas install Samsung software on person's computer" actually sounds like a newspaper article title you'd hear nowadays tho lol

Wait, could it be Kies or something downloading the update or something using that?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
There was a version of it leaked for the nexus s 4g. John try it and see what happens
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I registered on Samsung site but I have never seen it before and I definitely didn't install it. It literally installed when I had a windows update or something.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
That doesn't sound like he tried it, more like it mysteriously appeared...

Edit: see above... lol less than 1 minute before I post...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I meant run the program on the nexus and see what happens
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I guess I can do that. I may wait until after I sleep for a few hours though. Lol. I don't feel like setting everything up again. I already did that twice today
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Haha and thank you for that :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Hey, I was happy when I saw that new tar! Thank you! Korey, I guess it was a smart move releasing tonight... 1000+ views on this thread already! Damn
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] madeincanon:
11 views on the Rootz Wiki thread lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] swamp goblin:
stock rooted flashable thread here
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] colonels1020:
Not sure about you guys, but my 4G seems to drop down to 3G after about 10 mins of turning it on. Getting a much better signal overall though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yeah root wiki was a failure lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yeah good thing I did leak tonight instead of Monday haha
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] parvizlatipov:
How to install the NS4G drivers? (step 2)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you don't already have drivers installed and haven't used Odin before, you are probably better off flashing the zip version in Swamp Goblin's thread
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Don't forget to hit that thanks button for Korey! Without him we wouldn't have any of this new goodness yet
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
i see mention of bootloader flashing in the tut.... should i back up my usb partition?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] raiderep:
Schweeet! :eek::D:eek:

And to Odin is to live among the gods...next time I think I'll just use fastboot flash but re-living the old days was fun :cool:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pacman19:
arabic language availabe?

4.0.4 IMM76d ROM for nexus is arabic language included here?:) i have galaxy nexus but i need to have arabic language.:)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] robogoflow:
this is for nexus s 4g sprint only not galaxy nexus. Two different phones.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jasonyroland:
Flashed is 2:26

So far so good thanks for the leak.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
For those that use linux here are the fastboot commands to flash these as is.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash radio signed_radio.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

optional: for stock recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] The Batman:
@lithid-cm, will those commands work with a Mac?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Yup as long as you have fastboot installed correctly those commands will work on all operating systems. (Linux, MacOSx, Windows)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
So how is it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
My 4G bar is 100% full all the time now :) I haven't lost 4G yet in the 4-5 hours I've been playing with it. I'm so glad my signal is finally where it SHOULD be!!

battery life has been ok so far....I can't really give an accurate assessment yet because I flashed back & forth a few times to get some apps & to back up my texts & call log. But considering the amount of flashing and screen play I've thrown at it this morning, it's doing surprisingly well.

after flashing, i din NOT lose my SD data and did not relock my bootloader...just fyi, for anyone asking. I did, however, lose CWM....I dropped the new touch cwm recovery.img in the one click root app along with su 3.0.7 flashable zip, and I was off to the races! ;)

I'd really love to see some flashable zips so I could bring this rom up to par with aokp, for example. If I had all those features on this rom, I could die a happy man :)

Thanks for the leak, Korey!!! I've been dying to get my hands on a true official release ;)

***edit***

By the way...having just reformatted my pc a few days ago, I went into this starting fresh with sdk, driver & java installation, etc. I had some real trouble getting any drivers installed, short of pda net, which wouldn't work with Odin anyway. Every time I tried installing the proper way it would fail partway through. All the drivers included with the link in the OP wouldn't work properly. Finally, I came across this app that installs with a .exe, and as soon as I plugged my usb in with my phone in download mode it installed the driver right away!!

just thought I'd share in case anyone else had any problems like I did ;)

http://www.mediafire.com/?occ1g155b8gdeg9
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Super fast and smooth. Battery seems to charge more quickly. My experience with the radio is that it bumped my 4G signal alot but my 3g is wonky like always. More a phone issue it seems at this point than anything else considering I have flashed every radio available since I have owned this phone. By far the best overall stock experience to date. This is the best April fools to date. Thanks again for sharing this. :thumbup:

†††
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I will update op with those drivers . Thank you
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yes it is. Happy April Fools everyone!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
OK I am alive again...crazy night last night! Lol. I think I am going to see what the update that showed up on my laptop is now
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Omg is this the final version?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yes this is
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
I'm wondering if this forces Sprint yo release OTA lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Who cares now?! Lol. You can just flash this
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Yes I know I am on the latest BB anyways. Just wondering how Sprint will react.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well if it's anything like the epic they will make one more build lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Yes... I was thinking the same. I'm sure Sprint will make a new build just to screw with us lol.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah they did do that..I forgot about that!! Lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
Wait, I never had the Epic... Can someone catch me up? Thanks lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Roxie Mika:
Does this really improve the WiMax radio signal that much? Also, can the WiMax radio be flashed separately from the ROM, or...?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I leaked DK28 the official epic gingerbread rom. It was suppose to be. Sprint went on the record and said it wasn't a few days later and then cut off all my access to the stock roms. They went 2 months before they even started working on another gingerbread build again
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Yes it can and it does
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
Well that sucks... hopefully that doesn't happen, especially since this is actually Google's instead of Sprint's... hope Google doesn't let them pull that bs again...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well you're right about one thing this is googles not sprint. So no worries
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Rblacula:
Just used fastboot to flash this and lock bootloader! Yay for fresh start!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Roxie Mika:
Okay, is the WiMax radio image included in the radio update in general or would I have to flash this whole ROM to get it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ZeroCool84:
Hmm it seems windows isn't recognizing this when I connect it after installing the USB drivers.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Try rebooting the computer and phone. And if all else fails install the SDK
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
You can flash just the modem tar, or the flashable zip I included in the OP if you have CWM recovery
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] shibby80:
can anyone tell me why i cant delete pics i erased usb storage they still show up tried locking and unlocking the bootloader and they are still there this is driving me crazy
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nickdroid86:
It's getting frustrating, i've done everything to try and get the ODIN to recognize my phone, it's not no matter what I do, and I've tried every mode, not just download mode..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Master Ramy:
Only download mode can recognize Odin. What u need is to boot inti boot loader while plugged in and get windows driver to install successfully.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
You must use download mode to connect to Odin
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
O yeah look what I'm rocking now vvvvvv
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I was in download mode, by hold vol up and down and connecting usb, the computer doesn't recognize it..

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

I think PDAnet may be interfering with it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You hold volume up and down, THEN hit power. It doesn't matter if your phone's plugged in or not.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
The unlock bootloader screen is the download mode guys. ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nickdroid86:
Dude your not very descriptive lol. I HAVE an unlocked bootloader, so I use the bootloader screen or download mode? Two very different modes.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Doing exactly that reboots the phone for me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
Nice post!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Just do the command and whatever comes up on your screen is the download mode. There lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nickdroid86:
I got it, drivers+pdanet from my other phones were interfering, deleted them, working good so far, I'll report back.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] schreibman:
Assuming a don't flash back to stock recovery, I can just reboot after these steps into recovery and install su.zip from recovery and I am re- rooted? Correct?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hp420:
download mode is a pic of an android with a BIG yellow triangle...it saya "download mode. DO NOT disconnect your device"

I had a little trouble using the button combo too....here's what worked perfect for me:

UNPLUG USB

HOLD vol up + down together.

PRESS power for 1 second, then let go of ONLY power.

plug in your USB

If you're having trouble with the usb drivers:

install this

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?occ1g155b8gdeg9

boot into download mode

plug in USB

drivers should install now.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Welcome back to the flashaholic's dream phone! Lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Any able to get WiFi working with airplane mode on?

I'm actually trying to connect to 802.11x Enterprise WiFi to be specific, but it wil not let me go online at all with airplane mode on. With it off it works fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
The Unlock Bootloader screen isn't the Download Mode screen. They are 2 different screens. Volume up + volume down, then hit power real quick, don't hold the power button in. The screen that pops up should be download mode screen. The bootloader screen is volume up then power... :cool:

EDIT: Sorry, I just seen this has been covered. My bad
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well that's strange. I was able to odin on the unlock bootloader screen too. Hmmm
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattg1:
My wifi works fine airplane mode on, also why use odin on the nexus? Fastboot is so much less a pain in the ass IMO.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Because odin is simpler, and this is exactly how the files were leaked to me.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
I'm really wondering what's holding the ota? Is Sprint still testing this build?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
Agreed is Odin is awesome and super safe tool for Samsung device. I also like the fact it execute a full wipe before flash. Remind me of old WinMo days flashing ROM thru RUU.

Sprint is doing to same thing with the Epic 4G Touch, we seen bout 10 leaked Sprint Touch Wiz ICS stock. And still no OTA.

-Sent from my @lmighy Epic 4g Touch Ltd powered CM9 alpha2 using xda premium
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Is it just me, or does this build lie about 4G signal strength? It looks to me like the bars correspond to 3G signal strength even when connected to 4G.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ZerosAndOnes:
So was I. I was nervous when I kept getting that screen but finally I just started odin and it flashed perfectly.

Thanks so much for leaking this rom! I still can't believe how much 4g is improved. It's holding this signal like a champ!
