Do we have any specific info on what happened and update.zip can be manually applied again?? It's great news not to wipe everything with a factory image or have to wait for ages until google remembers your device...!
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
You have to flash via ADB. It's a new function in Jelly Bean stock recovery.
[Nexus S General] Grubscrew:
will it wipe everything or just update it?

TIA
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Battery with stock, 2h 41min screen time. I'm more pleased then with stock 4.1.1
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
It'll just update. You won't lose anything.
[Nexus S General] painterceessie:
I have just updated too.

Don't see any news.

I updated with usb otg.

I am sorry guys,wrong place.

I thought this was the xoom tread,lol
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
The Xoom OTA started this weekend, but yes, wrong thread. ;)
[Nexus S General] painterceessie:
You are right mate.

I see that you also like me the whole package off google devices own.

I also own the GS3.

How do you mean,phone addict.:laugh:
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Yessir. I never owned a Nexus One but once I got a Nexus S, I got the "Google experience" bug and refuse to own a non-Nexus now.
[Nexus S General] matejilic:
Please help!!

how can i flash the factory image? i download the file, copy it to my sdcard, and when i try to flash it with cwm, i cant see it there. please help
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
Follow the instructions on the google developers page - or have a search in these forums for it. It is flashed using fastboot tool from the Android SDK.
[Nexus S General] Bls440:
I flashed the 4.1.2 factory image yesterday. Even after reinstalling all my apps, it feels much snappier and smoother than 4.1.1. Thank you Google for this great update :)
[Nexus S General] matejilic:
Thank you very much! managed to flash. One question: does anybody's nexus feel a little slower, maybe laggier? could the flash method cause that?
[Nexus S General] flixos:
Are we 100% sure that there will be an OTA for us?. I mean, since Google has already released the factory image, maybe they're not planning to do anything else.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Usually they don't release images before OTA's, so it was presumed the OTA should start someday soon. I like this way more anyway (image before OTA) :]
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
Maybe they released the factory image first so that people who truly want it first have the option to flash it instead of waiting for OTA. And let's face it if you want it first you will be rooted and be an experienced flasher etc so a few restores are no biggie.
[Nexus S General] xholesov:
Just got the 4.1.2 OTA, but I screwed up and get it installed, so I can not provide link.

But it is going! OTA for i9023 in Czech Republic and Vodafone.
[Nexus S General] kulinar:
I just got it as well!

Nothing in the log cat but there is this file here /cache/9U4MCfNt.zip could that be it?

this should be the link

android.clients.google.com / packages / ota /google_crespo /9U4MCfNt.zip

I9023 in Austria...

i downloaded zip file. now what should i do ? i have stock 4.1.1 root cwm.
[Nexus S General] tiagolima90:
Hi there,

I just updated my nexus s i9023 to 4.1.2 via OTA, but the crt effect when I lock the screen is still bugged. is it still bugged for you guys too?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
If you have CWM installed, just put the OTA file on your sdcard and flash it like you normally would. If you have stock recovery, it can only be flashed manually via ADB.
[Nexus S General] dissix:
Just getting the OTA for 4.1.2 right now.

As well in France. Fantastic work Google FRA.
[Nexus S General] sh1fty7:
USA-California Nexus S i9020t

Just got the update here, I was going to attempt to find the OTA link but I'm not currently rooted and my work comp doesn't allow me to install the drivers or run as admin to root. Sorry all. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
That's alright. We have the link for I9020T and I9023 (they use the same update). Thanks though!
[Nexus S General] giaomnitel1:
Just received 4.1.2 here in Italy.

But on my 9023 the CRT screen off bug is still there ... and what about the kernel? It is the 3.0.31 ... should not be the 3.4?
[Nexus S General] itline:
i tried to flash zip file with CWM but i got status 7 error :(

please help me
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
In case it differs or for comparison purposes, an update URL from Hungary: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/9U4MCfNt.zip

It seems I'm getting the same Status 7 error code as others. I reported it to Google here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38518
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
I'm getting status 7 as well with stock ROM but custom kernel
[Nexus S General] Brewbud:
I received the 4.1.2 OTA for i9020T here in SoCal today. I hit reboot and install. Phone booted into CWM and asked to verify if I wanted to install "untrusted.zip". First time that has happened. It was all just too odd so I backed out of the install and came here to research here first. Now I guess I will wait a bit...

Cheers
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
That's because in order to install an OTA you have to be 100% stock. Nothing changed on the system partition, no custom kernels, etc. Pure, 100% stock ROM.
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
here is the news page for Vodafone Australia. They usually update this when there is a Nexus S OTA imminent. This update would be from JRO03L, they do a weekly software update post every Wednesday afternoon. When they announce it, i'll flash back and try grab the url.

http://blog.vodafone.com.au

on a side note, i put in a Cambodian sim card in my wife's Australian i9023 this morning and it updated from JRO03E after i cleared the Google Services Framework.
[Nexus S General] jenda.69:
Downloaded ZIP from first posts, updated via CWM and it works fine. Except Google Play returning error RPC:AEC:0 when trying to download app updates. But I solved it deleting Google Play Store updates and removing Google account and readding it back again.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
So how do people running custom kernel update without losing data? I asked this before in the Q&A forum and people said you can painlessly update with CWM even if you have custom kernel as long as its stock rom. :confused:
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
I guess you could add "No CWM" to the list, in this case. Once I let 4.0.4 flash its own recovery, the upgrade to 4.1.1, then to 4.1.2 proceeded without a hitch.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
It must have been a CWM touch recovery. The touch recoveries have problems with OTAs. If you use a non-touch recovery, you shouldn't have a problem.
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
No, it was the non-touch version. I've never had a problem with an OTA until now, they must have changed something in the upgrade process. At least superuser 3.1.3 still works for getting root!
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
I could not update through CWM got status 7 error, I am running custom kernel. Please tell how do I update.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Wow, I'm surprised! Well, at least you got it sorted out then!
[Nexus S General] nolook:
flashed via cwm and it kept root for me...hope the battery is better like ics was...have aws model on mobility

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus S General] HK-47:
Update went smoothly for my i9023 this time (I got Status 7 errors in CWM when updating to JRO03E from ICS). But yeah, the CRT animation is still missing.
[Nexus S General] mailrachit:
Anyone tried this with i9020a

Has anyone tried this update with i9020a (Nexus S for AT&T 3G)?

Thanks..
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
It won't work. Google hasn't released an update for I9020A yet. Gotta wait unfortunately
[Nexus S General] hr_kaleu:
had the same issue (I'm on stock rom, rooted, cwm, marmite kernel)...

what I did:

flashed back the stock kernel via fastboot (extracted boot.img from the factory image of jb 4.1.1), booted into cwm and flashed the OTA

afterwards flashed marmite kernel

so far no problems!

only issue I faced:

had to reflash cwm as after the update I was on stock recovery

cheers
[Nexus S General] ironia.:
i have cwm 6.0.1.0 that ask me to block installation of stock recovery and fix su...

i reply yes to all and at fitrst boot:

-supersu works fine

-i renamed in old "/system/recovery-from-boot.p", "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh")
[Nexus S General] toolis:
same to me . Every seems o.k.
[Nexus S General] Nezam:
Hey fellows..

I have been guied hee by rodem

I was gettin the ota today mornin when it got stuck at 15 mb remaining

I asked rodem for a way to start downloadin the update all ovrr again .he told me to click on check now after clearing data for google services and frameworking.i did that and now i am stuck bcoz no mattrr how hard i try clicking check now but it says system uptodate

Helpppp

EDIT: I AM ON COMPLETELY STOCK JB AND UNROOTED.I WANT TO RECIEVE THE UPDATE RATHER THAN FLASHING ETC.PLZ GUIDE
[Nexus S General] flixos:
Updated yesterday using files from the thread, and su. I was rooted under 4.1.1, using CWM, flashing the update first, and then the su. Finally rebooted, and voilá!, Android 4.1.2 running without problems and rooted, of course. Thanks as usual guys ;)
[Nexus S General] ironia.:
NOTE that the ota .zip dimension is around 14.9 mb
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
But there are no factory images for 4.1.1? :confused:
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Visit http://randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s. You can get older factory images there.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Okay thanks I am downloading the 4.1.1 factory image.

Please explain this a bit more. You copy pasted the boot.img in the platform tools? And then? :)

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Those are just the OTA updates it seems. I cant find the boot.img file like in the factory images for the 4.1.2.
[Nexus S General] hr_kaleu:
I extracted the kernel (boot.img) from the 4.1.1-factory image

fired up my phone in bootloader mode, connected it via usb to my notebook

afterwards I flashed the stock kernel using fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then I booted into recovery (CWM)

If you need to flash cwm you can do that by using fastboot command as well:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(where recovery,img is the cwm recovery you can download at http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img)

In CWM I installed the OTA (http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/9U4MCfNt.zip)

In the ULR you mentioned (http://randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s) you can find the factory images...

have a look in the row called fastboot - there you find the link called images

(goes to https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_zuNWpIf1ujNzkza3ZCQ0FTQW8)

Cheers...
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
There is a boot.img.p file in the 4.1.1 OTA, dont think that can be flashed.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Thanks alot thats explains everything. :D

Now I just need to get the boot.img for 4.1.1. :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Okay so from the 4.1.1 OTA file I can rename the file "boot.img.p" to "boot.img". Should I go ahead flashing it? :)
[Nexus S General] danielcps:
I've flash the 4.1.2 ota file and my android os is so high. Anyone having this issue?
[Nexus S General] Ddave73:
I got my OTA notification yesterday, hit reboot and update or something along those lines and it had an error of some kind, didn't really take any notice as to what it was specifically but its probably the same problem others have had.

Downloaded the OTA update file and successfully flashed with clockworkmod, my phone was no longer rooted.

I previously used Sabre Root Toolkit to root my phone and after running through that process again my phone is now on 4.1.2 and is rooted.

I'm certain this is not the "ideal" rooting method or whatever but its all working fine here as far as I can tell, great thread and I`m a happy bunny.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
NO. That's a patch file. You can get the full images on Google's site here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus S General] Nezam:
Anyo e mind helping me here?
[Nexus S General] hr_kaleu:
here you go - extract the attached zip - it's the stock kernel from 4.1.1 factory image (i9023)
[Nexus S General] hr_kaleu:
Some users report that they had to clear data on google framework service several times to get tht OTA notification again,,,

hope this helps...
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
I don't know if there is a way to have again the update, anyway to update without any root or unlock, follow these steps (I've personally tested this method on my device and it work):

You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and you have to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).

After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:

Connect your Nexus to your PC.

Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and then volume up to enter in recovery mode.

Select "Apply update from ADB".

On your PC copy the OTA downloaded from this 1st page thread in the folder with the ADB binary in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).

On your PC open command prompt and go to folder ADB binary.

On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)

If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"

At the end reboot and you have a completely stock update without modifications.
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Thanks it worked and now I am on 4.1.2. :D

I also learned that its quite simple to flash back a stock kernel. :)

Sorry cant thank your post since I am outta limit for today but thanks for the heads up. :)
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Just a reminder, those of you on I9020A should be on the lookout either late this week or early next week for an OTA to 4.1.2/JZO54K. If any of you get the OTA notification on your phones, please take a moment before installing it to get the filename from logcat or look in the /cache folder if you're rooted. Just post that filename here so I can update the first post and mirror the OTA on randomphantasmagoria.com. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] hr_kaleu:
You're welcome!

Good to hear it worked out for you...

Status 7 error

Hi ,

Yesterday I got the 4.1.2 OTA update for my i9023 but when I installed it gave the status 7 error .

I'm on stock rom 4.1.1 with CWM 6.0 and rooted .

I have read the earlier posts about this error but everyone who got this error had a non stock kernal , but I'm already on stock rom with stock kernal ( I think ). what should I do
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
Hi, with CWM installed you can't have OTA from google, you have to manually download it from this thread (the one that you find is ok for the 9023), put it on your sd card, restart in CWM and install the OTA.zip. After this you will have to root again your phone.
[Nexus S General] Mansuur:
what is the difference between the the package i got OTA and the posted in here ? I do have the zip file of my OTA update .
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
Is the same file and come from google, there are no differences, I updated my phone with it.
[Nexus S General] Mansuur:
okay . just out of curiosity when I updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 , I did it OTA with CWM installed at that time too , so, why now I am getting the error and didn't get it then .
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Because either you, or some root app you use, made a change to the /system/build.prop file. It's no longer stock. You need to restore it with a stock copy then try again.
[Nexus S General] Mansuur:
Yes I had changed the build.prop to get bravia engine but I have canged it back to the way it was and still the same error
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Just because you changed it back doesn't mean the file is byte identical to the stock file. Just flash the factory images in fastboot. :)
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
Sorry, I didn't understand: did you try to install this thread OTA using CWM? Did you had the same error?
[Nexus S General] Mansuur:
No I did not try to install the OTA package given in this thread .

I got the OTA notification for 4.1.2 on my phone and when I tried installing , that gave the error .

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------

Should I flash the whole factory image or only boot.img ?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
System and boot.
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
Hi, I've readed that for other phone (like galaxy nexus) also the presence of custom recovery could give error if you try to update with official OTA from google and you need to install it using manually downloaded OTA like the one that you post in OP. This is not true for Nexus S? Thankyou.
[Nexus S General] shermancai:
Got OTA yesterday. the root was gone. Does anybody know how to get root again? Many thanks
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
I just flashed again SuperSu 0.96 and now I'm rooted.
[Nexus S General] imbehind:
Phone is dead

I tried applying the update but I got status 7 error.

Since i was not stock (unlocked, rooted, CW, kernel) i flashed soju-ota_jro03e.zip (4.1.1.), hoping that it will "stock" my phone. After that I applied the 4.1.2 update.

Now, when i turn my phone on, i get black screen with white Google logo in the middle and "unlocked" icon on the bottom.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
deleted
[Nexus S General] imbehind:
[RESOLVED] Phone dead

I made the following error (apparently):

I flashed stock ROM and update from CW that was initialized by OTA resulting in non booting state.

SOLUTION:

Enter CW recovery by VolUp+Power -> Recovery

Flashed 4.1.1. stock

Applied 4.1.2. update

Applied Simple-Root-1.0

Phone booted up and is updating itself.
[Nexus S General] baklawa:
Why don't you just flash soju-jzo54k-factory after a full backup of your apps with titanium ?
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
I don't seem to be having any luck trying to get the OTA url/file name for the JZO54K from JRO03L. The OTA just won't arrive. I've tried all the tricks to force an update.

[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Awesome!
[Nexus S General] marco1309:
i have two questions:

1) i have i9020xxki1....is it i9020t or i9020a?

2) i downloaded nexus root toolkit, but i can't find my nexus and my build: JZO54K. what do i have to select to carry on with the procedure?

3) before fhashing a rom, i just unlock the bootloader and do the rooting with that tool, or do i have to do something else?

thank you.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
As for #1, you have I9020T. As for 2 and 3, no idea. I know nothing about toolkits. :)
[Nexus S General] Sumanji:
Hey guys,

I flashed my device with the JRO03L factory image only a few weeks back - d'oh! :p

Does anyone have a link to the JZO54K from JRO03L update please? I've seen that it started rolling out to Vodafone Australia a few days back.

Cheers,

Su
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Nobody has posted a link yet but we have a few Vodafone AU people here who are on the lookout and will post it when it becomes available. If your bootloader is unlocked, you can also just download the JZO54K factory images, flash just system.img and boot.img (and recovery.img if you use stock recovery), and you're done.
[Nexus S General] Sumanji:
Hey,

Ah I didn't realise you could do that so easily (I thought that resulted in wiping the whole device??).

If the OTA doesn't work smoothly for some reason, I will give it a go :)

Thanks,

Su
[Nexus S General] rodem77:
Hi, to install custom rom you don't need to root; root make you able to modify your actual android rom when you already are in android.

To install custom rom you can also just unlock your device and install a custom recovery, restart you phone in custom recovery and flash a new rom. Someone, before flashing a rom, prefer to do a full wipe (deleting everything, also your actual android rom) and later, from a custom recovery, flash a new rom.

Anyway, before try any change, I suggest you to read some other thread that speak about root/unlock to better understand how you can modify your device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29733879#post29733879
[Nexus S General] xdatastic:
I flashed back to JRO03L last week to try grab the URL\filename of the OTA when VF AU announced 4.1.2 was rolling out. Still haven't received the it though. VF claim the rollout is gradual according to this schedule*:

Day 1-2: Available to 0.1% of devices

Day 3: Available to 5% of devices

Day 4: Available to 20% of devices

Day 5: Available to 60% of devices

Day 6: Available to 100% of devices

So assuming the claimed date of 18th October is correct, we are now entering day 5.
