Can you please explain a little more about how to use this? Do we need to be rooted to update this way?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
rename the .zip file to update.zip

reboot to recovery (turn off phone, press and hold vol. Up, and Power button.

then select recovery with the volume buttons and power to select it.

then press up+power again to get the recovery settings and select apply update.zip
[Nexus S General] Rukus911:
Let me know when you are done with it so I can install it. I used your superboot root method and would like to update. Thanks, Kris
[Nexus S General] rocketragz:
ok i see them now. thanks
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
Can someone please post the factory recovery image?

This can not be flashed via CWM.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I may be wrong, but doesnt CWM allow you to disable signature verification?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
It does but other stuff happens and doesn't flash correctly.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
So, the update failed for me because of ClockworkMod. How do I get it to appear again? "System updates" just says my phone is up to date."
[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
Anyone try turning off automatic date/time, forwarding the date by a week and then hitting update?
[Nexus S General] kid1da:
I just rebooted my nexus and I received the update.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Heard that the stock recovery image that is floating around right now cant be flashed over CWM
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Verified, I couldn't flash it back.

Guess we'll have to wait till someone makes an update for rooted users.
[Nexus S General] Lootes:
Thanks! Downloaded and flashed through recovery, all seemed to go fine.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
You have stock non rooted system right?

Man, some people get easily discouraged and impatient.

Manual update instructions, because waiting sucks

http://android.clients.google.com/p...553.signed-soju-GRH78-from-GRH55.a71a2082.zip

Download the OTA package here ^^

Rename it to update.zip, and place it on the root of your internal storage

Shut down your phone, and reboot into the bootloader by holding volume up and powering back on

Use the volume buttons to choose "recovery" from the list, and select it with the power button

When you see the red triangle on your screen, press volume up and power once more and you'll have a list of options, choose to update

Update does not fix MMS
[Nexus S General] momohammed20:
I created a stock nandroid of my Nexus S with this update already applied into the development section of this forum.

[Nexus S General] somekindarobit:
I paid almost $600 for this phone... much like I did with the N1. It's not just this issue that gives me pause at spending that much on a phone that isn't a huge jump over the N1, but the mms issue was just adding to it. Especially since it seems like an issue that should have been ironed out well before the phone was released.

But yes... I'm a bit impatient right now. :p Not easily discouraged though... I'm working hard to try to convince myself to keep the NS. I'm more mad that the MMS issue is pulling me the other way. I want to, want to keep this phone.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
give it time, both T-mo and Sammy know about the issue, there is nothing Google can do
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
I just got the update too. Not really sure what it fixed; however prior to the update everything was crashing on me. It seems to be fine now.
[Nexus S General] MetalGearMaster:
I typed in *#*#checkin#*#* into the dialer app and after it said the checkin was successful the update almost immediately popped up.

I got the info from @SphericalPuma on Twitter.
[Nexus S General] D_Rob:
I kidd you not, I just did the update rooted. My phone says 2.3.1. Through CWM.

Heres what I did. For one, I updated my Rom Manager (as in the application on the market) about 40 minutes ago, I'm on recovery 3.0.0.0 (have been for like two days not sure if thats the difference). I downloaded the attached update in this thread on page 5 by Rukus911. renamed it update, slapped it on the root of my sd card. On the phone using File Manager i just clicked it, it opened Rom Manager and popped up the dialog of "Backup Current Rom", or "Wipe", I selected "Backup Current Rom", it did it's thing and viola.

Give it a go, let me know how it turns out but it worked for me.
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
You guys the blurry MMS is t-moble not updating their server to recognize nexus s/i9020 not Google i dont see how this update would fix that

Root your phone IMO its well not only you fix MMS but just today alone the developer section is booming with new goodies to play with
[Nexus S General] BigRick10:
IF YOU ARE ON CWM:

Just got an Android 2.3.1 update for Nexus S. It's on ROM manager if you want it. Make sure you flash recovery 3.0.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Didn't work for me. I see during the flash process it errors out on gmail.odex file.

Maybe cuz I don't have that file, since i'm running a modded black gmail.
[Nexus S General] BigRick10:
The NS has a sd card? :-p
[Nexus S General] BigRick10:
The update is now on rom manager. Koush just tweetrd this on the CMW twitter account

Just got an Android 2.3.1 update for Nexus S. It's on ROM manager if you want it. Make sure you flash recovery 3.0.

Lol, ha ha. You got me, I was excited and wanted to be helpful ha ha. In my dreams. :)

Is anyone else having trouble with Swype after the update? I can't seem to use the swiping method (the word never appears in the textbox), but I can just press the individual keys.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems to be unrelated to the update (known Swype Beta issue)
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
So since we can't flash back to stock recovery we can't get ota's? Wow that sucks... how can you truly go back to stock if that's the case?
[Nexus S General] nsavani:
ive tried every way listed but still get a "error 7" when trying to flash the update. i am using stock rom with clockwork 3.0. anyone having the same issue or any way to fix it?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Well, it has a partition of the solid state memory mounted as /sdcard. For all our intents and purposes it's the same thing, even if it's not removable.
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
I have always had 3d maps, even before my update.

you need to disable satelite view and stay on normal map view, then you swipe down with two fingers (must be a bulding place such as NY or long beach for me).

I recived my update 15 minutes ago and I live in Victorville Ca.

BTW......sms picture still looks blurry.
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
I got version 5 at market couple of days a go. I was doing 3d maps same day. No need to do.update for that.

And u can fix the mms blurry problem by installing the mnt4g mms apk. No more blurry mms and black background. Look for it at themes and apps
[Nexus S General] vroomr4:
That's the reason I rooted my phone. There is a replacement Mms.apk file that fixes this issue and also gives you the choice between a black/white background.

Swype Issues

2.3.1 causes swype to go to limited functionality mode. Which basically means its worse than the regular keyboard.
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
You need the stock boot.img to flash the update. You'll lose root, but can easily re-root after updating.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
You need to uninstall and reinstall swype.
[Nexus S General] somekindarobit:
Oh I will give it some time. I only got this phone last weekend. Still have about 25 days to decide. I'm sure when it comes close to 30 days I will find it hard to part with it. The screen on this thing alone is a huge plus and will be very hard to give up. And it's not like my N1 was a perfect phone either. I know it's (most likely) a T-mo issue with not having this phone in their system... just seems like they should have thought of that before.
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
How can you re-root after updating?

Isn't the boot.img directly related to Kernel version?

So flashing back to the rooted boot.img will revert you back to the older Kernel?
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
I'm not sure yet. Haven't done it yet, as I'll be at work for like 5-6 more hours. On IRC, this is what Koush told me when I asked how to flash the update.

He said it has nothing to do with recovery, and that you need the stock boot.img, and then you can update. And after updating, youcan re-root it.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Can someone with a stock Nexus send a copy of their recovery to @clockworkmod on Twitter?

Yea the problem is that we have no stock boot.img.

Someone posted a boot.img that he build from source in the development forum but that also fails on error 7 when trying to flash the update.
[Nexus S General] markatl84:
How do I get the update.zip to the root / directory? When I copy the file it ends up on /sdcard. I am assuming this is the reason when I boot into recovery all I get is the green ! symbol.

Tried moving it with a file manager but it won't let me. Completely stock android.
[Nexus S General] D_Rob:
In case this hasn't been answered. Heres how to do it rooted. READ IT ALL, k thnx.

Use Titanium backup and backup EVERYTHING cause buddy your about to lose it.

Go into Rom Manager and backup your rom.

*****BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE AKA SD*******

Move all of these backups off of the phone to your pc.

Go into Rom Manager and "Download Rom" for 2.3.1.

Install it, no point in wiping cache and all that.

Next, if your like me you relocked the bootloader cause' you hate that stupid lock on the splash screen. If so, you may wanna take some screen shots of your home screen lay out and put them on you pc along with the "sd card" back up you did earlier.

Go back into the bootloader and unlock it again, go back to this thread and download the newest clockworkmod recovery (3.0.0.0) and flash it to the phone.

Grab the superuser.apk from the same thread, select "reboot recovery" while in the bootloader, go to "mounts and storage", mount the system "mount/system" in recovery, then "install zip from sd card", "pick zip" and install the superuser zip.

I then reboot and relock the bootloader but this is optional, viola, root returns.

What sucks is you have to setup stuff from scratch, but if you used Titanium Backup then all you have to do is setup your homescreens again really, all your widget setting, bluetooth and etc. will return.

DONT be like me and not backup first, you will be screwed when you unlock the bootloader if you do (your phone will work but whatever you had in the internal storage will be gone).

Before I did this I still had Super User but nothing would prompt me for rights and nothing that needs it would work.

Problem Updating...

Hi. Can anyone help me out here?

I downloaded the file that a few users had linked to in this thread.

I renamed it to "update" (I had it as update.zip but then it appeared as update.zip.zip).

I initiated the reboot mode, but a black screen with the Android character and a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it appears and the phone just stops. I needed to remove the battery to turn it off.

Is something going wrong here? My phone is factory unlocked and has not been rooted nor have I put any other modifications on it.
[Nexus S General] siberslug:
I got the up date but it will not install
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
so no word still into what we got updated?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Smarter folks than I am have already posted some stuff if you search around, but poking through the zip file for the update, there's quite a bit:

Virtually every app in the /system/app has a patch file

/system/bin/debuggerd

build.prop

apns and certs are patched

all the stuff in /system/framework

libcamera.so

bcm4329.ko

libsec-ril.so

Also the boot.img is patched

looks like it replaces recovery (BIG WARNING TO FOLLOW)

Downloading and installing the update manually on my rooted phone broke Recovery, and broke root. Exercise caution.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
Anyone got the update and he/she doesn't use T mobile service?
[Nexus S General] raeef:
Correct me if I am wrong but it shouldn't be update.zip.zip no file name should have 2 dots.
[Nexus S General] futuralabs87:
???

I dont get it. I got the update hit install and the phone rebooted. All i see now is a triangle with the android guy. WHat does that mean?

Thanks in Advance

Actually Installation aborted. Clockword mod problem
[Nexus S General] nxt:
mean you're rooted and it didn't apply. press the back button and it'll take u back to CWM, and reboot, wait till someone releases the update specifically for rooted devices.
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
could it be an update for NFC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Yes, you're now able to brush your phone against and credit card/password with the chip, and can steal their data. It's pretty cool, I've already gotten a bunch and used it at Best Buy to go on a shopping spree.

And how does that answer my question??

maybe wrong person replied? IDK.......OOOOKAAAAY
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Don't be such a twat. It answers your question by telling you all the files that the update impacts. Those are what are changed by the update. If you want to know how they're changed, install the frickin' update yourself and figure it out for yourself.

btw i have just updated my phone using teh method described above.. althought my phone kind of froze for some time after choosing recovery from boot menu. now it shows (and makes me proud) 2.3.1 :D

this phone has its many many advantages compared to the cons that so many have enlisted.

thanks for the info..
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
all the checkin code does is re-associates your device with the network pretty much saying hey here i am.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Well, that's not what you asked. ;) I might have been a bit too sensitive to your response to me...seemed like I tried to give a helpful response and you replied sarcastically.

Check out the update script and you'll see a hundred changes and patches applied, could be very minor things, could be more. Who's to say what's important?

Here's the script if you're interested in what's changed beyond the list I posted earlier (attached).

I don't know if anyone mentioned it in this thread, but after the 2.3.1 update my phone can run Quadrant every time now and not fail on the 3D tests. Plus it raised my score from 1680 to 1884. Not that I can really tell, but it's definately hitting higher in Quadrant after the update. :cool:

Yep it just hit here too in the uk. Worried about upgrading though in case this needs to go back as I'm apparently not allowed to add anything to the memory or make any calls if I want to return the phone. I'm thinking surely a software upgrade will provide reason to decline any return attempt of a none faulty device. Tempting to accept though.
[Nexus S General] donniestarko:
I know im beating a dead horse here, but can someone give instructions to manually update without having to wipe everything and for a rooted device? tried the rom manager technique, said it installed but still shows 2.3? also my MMS was fixed today if anyone cares, just be patient..
[Nexus S General] JOHNGAETANO:
Got mine in ohio
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Asked and answered in numerous threads already...

In a nutshell, flash the zip, then reflash CWM from fastboot, then mount /system from CWM mounts and storage, then use adb from your computer to chmod the su binary to 6775.

Note that part of the update is a new script that replaces any custom recovery with the stock one.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Again if this MMS issue is your decision on keeping this phone or not and it's only been out for a week, return it. You are obviously not convinced that you like the phone if an MMS issue is making you think twice.

Back on topic, I got my system update at around 10pm last night. I notice now that my MMS issue is cleared up as well, not sure if it is related to the update though as I didn't try it right before the update.

Get ceregeditor, connect to a pc and run it. Change the 'enabled' value for hklm/software/microsoft/shell/lockscreen from 1 to 0 and soft reset. I think that's the reg key you want.

You can also use MyMobiler.

Any news on when this is gonna come out so i can SBF fully back to stock any info would be appreciated thanks

You can do this currently by combining .320 and .340 SBF files. I have not heard anything yet on a full .340 being released.

[Droid X General] aohus:
Isn't this essentially a full SBF?

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html

It contains the system-only SBF, as well as individual patches for the bootloader, kernel, and baseband.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I dont think so. I believe a full sbf overwrites the full phone image from /* in other words there is more to the OS architecture than just /system.

If im incorrect, anyone that has more info/corrections, please feel free to chime in.
[Droid X General] ElephantGlue:
Could you explain this process? Im running rubiX Focused on my 2.3.15 version and from my understanding, having the newest system software would be beneficial in installing and using newer roms etc.

I have both a nandroid backup of my stock albeit rooted setup of 2.3.15, as well as the system 2.3.15 sbf. I also have the 2.3.32 sbf file. I realize that if I sbf back to a clean 2.3.15, I can just accept the OTA update to 2.3.34.

Two questions from here:

Which method for updating would be best? From the OTA update to 2.3.34 would I be able to sbf back to 2.3.32 or would i be stuck until a 2.3.34 full sbf is released?

Sorry in advance for jacking the thread
[Droid X General] charles7926:
*bump* would like to know this as well.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Tge limitation on whether or not you can go back is based upon the version if the bootloader that the sbf wird I believe. I have not used anything above the 2.3.15 sbf so I'm not sure if the sbf you're speaking of includes a bootloader version
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
If you use your 2.3.320 SBF you said you have, you can then use this update: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/09/droid-x-2-3-340-system-sbf-released-for-2-3-320-leak-users/

It should get you fully updated to 2.3.340. It does involve flashing your phone twice, but after that you should be good (as far as I know with my still limited knowledge of these things...)
[Droid X General] TreyStyles:
Can't you just flash the 2.3.13 sbf then get the OTA update again? Any risk in doing that?
[Droid X General] jeftep:
I don't think you can flash 2.3.15 once you have passed 2.3.320 as your bootloader will have been upgraded.

I recently flashed a full SBF of 2.3.320, then the Kernel, Baseband and Bootloader zips, then the 2.3.340 SBF. Bam, I have a stock phone that looks like it just came from Verizon. Its got all the preinstalled apps, blur, etc... it's basically stock 2.3.340.

For about 30 seconds until I rooted it and loaded Fission 2.4.3 on it... :)

[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Problem solved thread can be closed.
[Droid X General] HamSandwich:
I'm in the same boat willjohnson, which sbf was the correct one? TIA
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
If you are already on .340, you do not need anything more than the .340 System-Only SBF released by TBH. Until Motorola has a new update that modifies the bootloader, or other components, no ROM you install will change these.
