You can flash the bootloader tar in either ODIN, or just extract the .img and flash that via fastboot. Whichever way you prefer.

Will the new boot loader make any diff to my phone as in speed or performance? If j install it will i lose root I'm running cna
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
Will flashing the new bootloader lock my phone or make me loose root? What's new in the bootloader, anything different? Can I just stay with the old one?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
I honestly don't know what the differences are. As far as I'm aware, the bootloader has no way of increasing speed or performance. I used ODIN to flash everything and my bootloader stayed unlocked.

And, no, you will not loose root as the ROM is pre-rooted.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] donbudafuko:
OK thank u an is there any way to get the bootloader in a zip don't have my PC up an running
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
Check this one. If it works, I'll add it to the OP (with credit).

1-nandriod for backup.

2- wipe

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mxl180:
I just want to make sure... that updating the bootloader will not lock the boot?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zackandethan:
Andrew, I flashed the boot loader zip you recommended from maximillion mary, then flashed ROM and new radio with recovery 6.0.1.0 . Working fine so far . Is it possible to get a zip to the stock kernel ?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] pclov3r:
Thanks works well

Flashing the bootloader will not lock it. You need a previous unlocked bootloader tho to flash it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] torchie:
When I restore from Titanium and restart the notification bar breaks, the lock screen doesn't show up, and my face buttons stop working*—*almost as if it thinks it's in first-boot mode.

i tried the efs/imei/keystr thing and even changed permissions but nothing happened.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dirt:
Did you restore system apps? I flashed everything thru fastboot then restored user apps/data thru tb with no issues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jm9843:
I second this request. I'd prefer to run totally stock rooted for a while to see how it performs.

I also have to rely on cwm flashable zips because ever since I dropped my phone, I can't get a reliable connection to mount storage on a PC or a adb/fastboot connection. :mad:
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
I never restore system apps without filtering out things like systemui and such.

Only restore user apps and be VERY selective of the system apps you restore (make sure they're already in the ROM and only restore data). Otherwise, you may be restoring apps that are not compatible with stock ROMs that can break features.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
I'll get the stock kernel in flashable .zip format later today.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wickid_d:
Should learn to use droidkitchen. ;)

Take a look at the updater-script file in the original update, and you'll see the line:

write_raw_image("radio.img",radio)

(or something to that affect, I may have a couple words bass ackwards)

Use that, recook with droidkitchen, and peeps won't have to flash the radio separate - same can go for the boatloader, and kernel.

Just a friendly tip from a former dev. :)

Great work tho, man! :D I was gonna do this, but you beat me to it, lol

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
OP Updated

I don't have time to mess with a separate kernel. I re-uploaded the ROM with STOCK KERNEL.

Just re-flash and just wipe cache and dalvik, and you should be okay.

Sorry for the hassle.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scout7:
With clockwork installed shouldn't we just be able to wipe and flash over the rom after nameing it update.zip and then flash the radio?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
No need to rename. Just select "choose zip".
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] scout7:
Thanks, I wiped cache and Davlik and flashed radio, then your zip. no problems so far, didn't loose anything.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
I downloaded the ROM 3 times. Did a FULL wipe but it does not install. Installer runs for a second then says it's installed, but it's not. Bootloader and Radio work fine. Any ideas?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
What recovery are you using?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
I'm using CWM 5.8.02 maybe that's the issue. I tried CWM 6.x.x some time ago and found that backups took forever so I switched back to 5.8.02. Strange that a different recovery would not work on a backup.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
Try 6.0.1.3 posted on the OP. Backups take no time at all. Let me know if it works. If not, PM me to discuss further.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
I tried CWM 6.0.1.3. Backup and restore speeds have improved in this build. I tried your new version JRO03R-STOCK-ROOTED and your previous one with the custom kernel JRO03R-Stock-Rooted. Neither a clean or dirty install will work. The ROM just zips to "installed status" in one second, but never installs. Strange.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shott3r:
I can also confirm this is happening to me. Tried 4 times, twice in TWRP, reflashed CWM Recovery and tried twice. Nada.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Bandage:
make sure there are no "additional characters" in the name of the file...for example, I had downloaded the updated file this morning, and it attached a (1) at the end, because I still had the previous file in the same folder. Once I deleted them both and re-downloaded (re-naming it to remove the (1) should do the same) it worked fine.

give it a try and report back.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
I downloaded the files from two different computers a few times. There were never any "additional characters" (1). It's also happening to another user on here.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
Hmm...very odd. I just uninstalled all the play apps, currents, movie studio, etc. and reflashed the ROM and everything went fine and reinstalled the missing apps.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shott3r:
After renaming the zip to a one word name with no punctuation, it finally flashed for me. CWM 6.0.1.0. Alas, I miss Jellybro's customization, so I dunno if this stock flash will stay on more than a few days ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
Glad to hear it worked for you!

I'm with ya on that. I miss codename. Just good to have something official for a change. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] G1toEVO4G:
Changed punctuation and rom still isnt flashing for me smh, on the latest cwm recovery btw
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
Same here. I think I'll wait for another STOCK OTA CWM. I've exhausted all my options with this one.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
So exactly how long should it take my phone to boot after following the directions that are currently listed in the OP? Right now my phone sits at the "Google" boot screen with the padlock at the bottom. For 15 minutes now.

Suggestions? Yank the battery? Reflash? Wipe something?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xuser:
That's too long. I think you're in a bootloop. It also happened to me. Restore your backup.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
Backup?!

No really I don't really care about losing anything so I generally don't backup. Wipe everything and reinstall one at a time is actually my preferred method.

I yanked the battery, booted back into recovery and re-flashed the ROM only. Then I wiped cache/dalvik again and rebooted. 5 minutes so far.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

Still took too long. Just re-downloaded the ROM file and I'll flash it again.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Still borked. So now... flash CWM and restore the backup that is in the OP?

EDIT: lol that's not a backup, that's just CWM... I'll try it anyway.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Lol maybe I'm not alone? Thanx dude, you're a peach.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
This was my first time trying this out.

I will rebuild and start all over and post once it is done.

Not sure why some are having success and others aren't. I'll update OP later today.

Sorry guys.

EDIT: There have been 100 downloads of the ROM with STOCK KERNEL and at least 50 of the first one posted with AIR KERNEL.

Not many people reported success or failure...so it's hard to tell what is going on.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
No worries, dude! I appreciate your work. And I hope I can help out with my feedback and experience. FWIW, I'm more interested in this with BLN working... :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] whenri14:
Only issue I'm having sir is battery drain. While I'm charging with screen on it still goes down 1% every few minutes.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jm9843:
It wasn't without issue but I've flashed this successfully.

Flashing the rom with latest TWRP for crespo4g failed. It went really fast like others are describing, even if I renamed the file with no punctuation.

So, I flashed the latest CWM for the crespo4g according to ROM Manager (v 6.0.1.0). I renamed the rom "jelly.zip" in case punctuation was having an effect like some are suggestion. This worked fine.

To recap:

flash recovery CWM 6.0.1.0

do a nandroid backup (just in case!)

wipe data/cache

flash bootloader

flash radio

flash rom (renamed to "jelly.zip")

Thanks to the OP for your efforts!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] andrewddickey:
You can always flash a custom kernel that supports BLN.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] zackandethan:
Andrew, I ran both Roms . Success on both for me. Battery life is still not good IMO . stock kernel seems to last a bit longer IMO . But like you I miss the features of the CNA nightlies. All in all . This runs great for me. Thanks sir !
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
Yeah, I probably will. But I figured I would place my vote real quick if you were on the fence. :) Thanx again!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
I think you did a great job considering this is your first attempt. No problems for me.

Steps I took (not sure if this is the most efficient path):

Booted into CWM Recovery v5.0.2.0

Made Nandroid backup

Wiped data/factory reset

Wiped dalvik cache

Formatted /system, /data, /boot directories

Powered down

Restarted in Download Mode and connected USB to PC

Flashed the bootloader with Odin 1.3

Booted back into CWM Recovery

Installed Radio and ROM zips

Rebooted phone and it came up fine

Thanks for the nice work!

BTW, this was using your 9/12 ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
Ok I just used TWRP to flash the bootloader .zip just like any other flashable .zip file.

Maybe that's why I was having issues? Am I supposed to do something differently?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jm9843:
No, that's what I did with success (using the linked zip in the first post and credited to Maximilian Mary). The only difference is that I used CWM 6.0.1.0.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
FWIW, I just did the above process exactly like he describes. I even flashed CWM 6.0.1.0 and renamed the file the same. The ROM still flashed super fast and proceeded to boot back into CM10, which I'm assuming is NOT this ROM. :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
Try formating /system and /boot under mounts and storage in CWM, And then reflash the ROM. I guarantee there will be no trace of CM10 after that.

All wiping /data does is get rid of all user apps and settings...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
I'll have to try this a lil bit later - gotta start my commute home now.

...But at this point, I'm not even sure my 191MB zip file for the ROM will do anything at all, because it doesn't seem to when I flash it normally. My issue isn't so much getting rid of CM10 as it is making sure this zip flashes properly... Right?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Highway 55:
Did you redownload the rom? Could have gotten a bad download.

I flashed the factory images through fastboot. Honestly, this OTA is buggy as hell. The lock screen has major issues, and the whole UI seems sluggish. The stock rooted JRO03L ROM is way better. I probably won't try JRO03R again until el goog releases source and binaries, and the awesome devs here can fix some of this stuff.

Sometimes the latest and the greatest isn't always the greatest...

ETA: this post wasn't meant to flame the OP. Google and Sprint goofed this one up.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
I figured it out!I had the ROM in a subdirectory with a space in the name. I put the file in the root of the SD card and it flashed with no problems. I'm typing this from the ROM right now. Strange, though, how I had the issue with TWRP and CWM both...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
Thanx! I think. Were you upset when you wrote that post? I don't quite understand its purpose... I don't think anybody here was doing anything wrong, even after I read your post. I don't quite know if any of that was aimed at me...

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hardingn88:
UPDATE ON HOW IT WORKED FOR ME:

I flashed the rom, radio and bootloader without any problems. I was currently running the stock rooted OTA version of ICS. I have the old Clockwork recovery version 5.0.2.0. I did the factory reset thru recovery then wiped the cache/dalvik (sp?) then did the install from sd did the radio then straight to the bootloader then straight to the rom without rebooting until completely done. I did rename everything before putting on SD storage and this is the names I used:

JBRADIO.zip

JBBOOTLOADER.zip

JBSTOCKROOTED.zip

I used no spaces or punctuation and changed before moving to the phone.

Problems:

I have noticed that my browser is alot slower and its quite difficult to get the keyboard to come up so I can type stuff on webpages as in searches/usernames.

Also, while using the navigation even though my gps setting was turned on it never could connect to get a location... I was in an area that had full coverage and even had 4g in some area although I was only using 3g.

Even though it will move widgets around on screen to organize one to fit I have been unable to get it to resize.... My messages widget will show the dots to drag to resize but it will never actually resize.

Perks of JB:

I love Google Now, Its awesome!

The new camera with the full focus is amazing.

The overall speed (other than browser) seems to be much faster and smoother than ICS.

I love the notification bar with the new email notification and I love that when u have a missed call if u open notification bar it gives u the option to call back or message straight from drag down bar.

I hope this helps the OP in figuring out the issues some people are having and everyone else to see a little about this rom!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
Same here since day one. But I found reboots and fc taking screen shots
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wickid_d:
You have a link to the marmite kernel? I'm really interested in it. I've had major lag with air and a little lag with matrix, but not much since he basically redid it from the ground up.

Thanks in advance. :)

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nexus85:
I haven't had those issues (yet) but have u tried fixing permissions? I've honestly had nothing but good happen while using this ROM. I did get a fc on an app but I hit OK, then reopened the app again & it ran smoothly after that. I haven't had any random reboots & Screen shot works fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] etnpnys:
A couple things here.

First, WiFi tethering isn't working for me either. Neither is BT tethering, unless I just have no idea how to set it up... For WiFi tethering, as soon as I enable it, it's like my data connection completely goes out. The '3G' icon disappears and the signal indicators make it look like I'm roaming.

Second, I miss my BLN, but my phone is running soooooo good with the stock kernel in this build. Is there a stock kernel that has **NOTHING** done to it except for enabling BLN?

Third, and I thought this was something unique to one of the CM10 builds by Burns, but the voice commands/text/typing doesn't work at all if I have bluetooth connected to my car. This wasn't an issue in early CM10 builds by Burns, but it looks like it was an issue that made it into our "official" build too.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] superblast:
I think you may be having some issues because you didn't wipe the system, boot, cache, data directories before flashing.

I was able to flash the files without renaming them. I just put them in root.

No issues to report still. Everything is working great. Seems very stable.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dscatto:
If I had a stock rooted ROM before, how can I tell if this flashed correctly? As in, this is the new ROM & not the old one I was using.

UPDATE: Also, when you say REBOOT, do you mean to phone or RECOVERY?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
1st version didn't have stock kernel it had air. Reboot means reboot. I wiped all installed everything then reboot
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dscatto:
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download all files below

2. Make nandroid backup

3. Wipe /boot, /system, /data, and /cache

4. Flash LC1 Bootloader

5. Flash LF2 Radio

6. Reboot

7. Flash JRO03R ROM

8. Reboot

I know #8 you reboot to system, but does #5 mean Reboot to System or Reboot to Recovery
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] n2d551:
I personally would follow all of the above . but flash everything while in recovery then reboot.
