Just rebooting now from 98f3836cef9e.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78C.98f3836c.zip update!
[Nexus S General] cfhuk:
Thanks for the link. Worked a charm on stock recovery. It does rewrite the radio, bootloader, and patches the system files.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Wooah!! I just updated in the screen looks sooo weird I am getting a yellowish tint now, and it wasn't like that before. Anyone else experiencing this?

edit: Everything looks bigger too, like the icons and stuff. It looks very bad..
[Nexus S General] jonathan3579:
Is it just me or do things look different?
[Nexus S General] cfhuk:
It does look a bit yellow but that may be because I'm looking for it now.

Also, does anyone else now have an unknown contact at the top of their contacts list? Just listed as (unknown) and has a little android robot as a picture, the only picture in the list now funnily enough.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Yes things look very different!! I do not like it at all...
[Nexus S General] cfhuk:
At full brightness it looks no different. Maybe just a power saving feature at lower screen brightness settings?

Edit: Then again, holding it up to my iMac screen it does seem yellow even at full brightness. :-(
[Nexus S General] dls5375:
Agreed the screen looks terrible. Very washed out.
[Nexus S General] leonlmf:
how about fastboot and root? are they still working? I wish I am at home now.
[Nexus S General] Udaw:
Anybody! Please give me /system/framework/framework-res.apk from 2.3.2 firmware. I have installed battery persantage mod and now couldnt to update to 2.3.3. Thank You!
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
yup - It doesn't look yellow to me but it sure is a lot brighter......
[Nexus S General] nyijedi:
Ah, great. WTF, Google? Now I'm afraid to install the update.
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
hummmm I have the backup here... rolled back my framework-res.apk

but I'm getting an error:

(status 7)
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
can we re-root it and unlock boot loader ? i don't want to install if i can't re-apply my working CM7 backup
[Nexus S General] cosimoss:
Same here. This is the official OTA drop isn't it?
[Nexus S General] Udaw:
Have you made backup of 2.3.2 original framework-res.apk ? Could you upload it somewhere ? Thank you!
[Nexus S General] cfhuk:
on the upside i did just get 1698 on Quadrant Standard on it. Not shabby.

Edit: Now 1828. It's getting faster with time.

[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
I much prefer the colors in the update. It is Google's fix for the purple hues that used to appear in dark greys. I actually prefer this fix to the voodoo fix. With the voodoo fix the screen looks far too cool...greys have a distinct green hue instead of a purple hue. I think the official fix is more accurate.

Take a look at the images in this post to see what I mean:

[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
I absolutely hate the colors in this update, it looks so washed out and disgusting. Google please fix this!!
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
Look at a grey gradient. This is the fix. Before you saw purple. Now you don't. It used to be far too warm. I much prefer the cooler screen in the update.

HOw did you guys install this update ? i copyed the .zip to the phone and tryed to flash via recovery and from rom manager each time it fails, says installation aborted using the from 78C.zip to update.
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
I'm with the same problem.
[Nexus S General] dro3432:
My screen looks a little brighter but not to much at all. I do have the brightness turned all the way down so maybe thats why it doesnt look much different. Other than that everything looks exactly the same as before.

Error code 7 i get if you red the screen details when it fails.
[Nexus S General] Udaw:
Yes, problem in that file. Look - http://www.mediafire.com/?xnzobdl6byc9a4i

this is my framework-res.apk from 2.3.2 and it bit different than your. I got it from my nandroid backup, which i have extracted. now everything good, updated to 2.3.3 after pushing my file. try my file, good luck.
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
Humm messing about with other peoples frame work i think i'll wait for CM to use 2.3.3 then we will reslove the color problems and find out if it does fix anything or breaks anything
[Nexus S General] savante:
I can't comment on unlocking the bootloader as mine has been unlocked since the first time I rooted.

I was able to re-root by flashing cw recovery and then installing the superuser apk from recovery.

I probably only needed to change permissions on superuser but I wasn't super clear on how to do that.
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
Cheers for confirming this, i get error code 7 due to some framework issue, but i think ill just wait for CM to use 2.3.3 as it seems that some users have had issues with colours and screens brightnesses

Yeah its a framework issue, use this framework - http://www.mediafire.com/?xnzobdl6byc9a4i

Im running CM7 stripped of all their ADW Junk Launcher and get this error on 2.3.2.

Im waiting on CM to use 2.3.3 because of the colour issues people have eben reporting and im not getting the reboot errors or anything.
[Nexus S General] ArnoutVos:
Colours are indeed changed and look washed out and less sharp. Lock screen also affected.

i update from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and have the same issue with colors, this sucks come on google!

[Nexus S General] nitsuajd:
Exactly! ;)
[Nexus S General] Lemim0uth:
For those who have the "assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:....)" error, I resolved the same issue by doing these steps :

1. Download the 2.3.2 Nandroid backup from the development thread

2. Extract it, and keep only the boot.img and .md5 file

3. Edit the .md5 file and remove every line except the one regarding boot.img

4. Copy these 2 files on your external storage in /clockworkmod/backup/[new folder]

5. Restore the /clockworkmod/backup/[new folder] backup from clockworkmod recovery

6 Apply the update
[Nexus S General] leonlmf:
not a big deal just make another memory backup and get it unlock. one thing for all
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Mine says:

assert failed apply_patch_check("/system/modules/bcm4329.ko" ....

I guess this is being caused by the custom kernel I'm currently using, it replaces the stock bcm4329.ko. Can anyone post this module from a stock rom?
[Nexus S General] Lemim0uth:
Here is the file from the 2.3.2 firmware :

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6766348/bcm4329.ko
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Thanks for uploading it so fast. I guess I have 2 options now:

1 - replace the module and set permissions manually (not sure this will work)

2 - restore boot.img and system.img from a stock nandroid

What do you think is a better option?

Edit:

I went with option 2 and it worked flawlessly \o/

Well, there are two sides of the color change. The grey tones are way more accurate, but they messed up with the white, it is kinda yellow now lol
[Nexus S General] phatcat73:
I received the system update warning early afternoon. Update came in at 20.4mb. Very happy!
[Nexus S General] Hagow:
Does 2.3.3 fix the back lights for buttons? Do they now turn off even when the screen is on?
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Dont do it lol
[Nexus S General] MacGuy2006:
App Update Failures Still Common :(

Auto Update for apps still doesn't really work.

App update failures still common :(

Downloads still fail (related to the above)?

Gallery is still slow as molasses if you have a few hundred pics -- I've stopped using it altogether.

I hope the spontaneous reboot and the sudden loss of connection were fixed at least.
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
Not worked for me.... I will try now the full nandroid restore
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
if your problem is the framework-res you will need to restore the system.img, not the boot.img. That did it for me.
[Nexus S General] Ghost_1:
How do I go about doing this fix? A coworker convinced me to run a new kernel and I'm pretty much a newb at this. I regret not keeping the NS stock like my N1.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
did a backup before applying the update...

I agree... colours do look more washed out but the purple tint is no longer there... nothing yellowish on my screen though as some have said...
[Nexus S General] jonathan3579:
Am I the only one experiencing slower data speeds? Upload and download are both down significantly.
[Nexus S General] neu242:
I just tested the data speeds from work. They are exactly the same as they were with 2.3.2: 3485 kbps down, 1440 kbps up.

Also, I did the first test with the reboot issue. Earlier, the phone always either rebooted during the night or during my walk to work (while listening to music). No reboots! I really hope it continues this way.
[Nexus S General] ArnoutVos:
I can't exactly determine what has changed... but white is not white anymore, at least for text. Also the notification bar is less sharp, for example take a look at the battery icon, it looks like it's over-aliased.

Data speeds are the same: cell company bound / limited ;)
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
BE CAREFUL

ClockworkMOD Recovery is not working properly, every boot, it disappear.

I was trying to apply a simple framework-res.apk mod using UOT Kitchen, got a boot loop.

Then I tried to restore the nandroid backup, and CMR was not installed.
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
Remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and it the stock recovery wont return.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
This is going to happen on every "stock" rom you apply - recovery is overwritten on reboot if it is not stock - delete/rename the files above, flash CWM and you'll have no issues.
[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Does Google release a list of changes with updates?
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
Worked. Tks!
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
What is up with the color-change that I'm hearing/reading so much about in 2.3.3? Anyone shed some light as to why this is. Sounds grim =T
[Nexus S General] rzaratin:
Anyone made any framework-res.apk mod?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Essentially the color palette was changed to a warmer color palette it appears. It eliminated the bluish tint that was present and I think the general consensus is that it represents truer colors. For quite a few people though they feel this looks washed out or yellowish though and is a step backwards from the previous palette/warmth.
[Nexus S General] moon-unit:
previous versions of GB had a purplish hue on grey tones which a LOT of people didn't like, several bug reports where filed on Googles support forums.

it seems as though they have included a fix for this is the 2.3.3 update - some like it some don't.

I have no problem with it - certainly greys look a LOT better.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Are you sure it deletes/wipes/"clears out" the /system partition?

I skimmed through the updater-script file and the actual files in the update itself.

The first thing the script does is check the mtd on all the /system and other files that are going to get updated (this is why some people get failure if they have modded files). It seems pointless to check the integrity of a file if you're planning on deleting it.

The script does delete a few unneeded files:

ui_print("Removing unneeded files...");
delete("/system/app/BooksPhone.apk", "/system/app/BooksPhone.odex",
"/system/lib/libearthmobile.so", "/system/lib/libpn544_fw.so",
"/system/usr/keylayout/herring-keypad.kl",
"/system/vendor/firmware/cypress-touchkey.bin",
"/system/app/VoiceSearch.odex", "/system/lib/libembeddedearth.so",
"/system/recovery.img");

But the rest of the script addressing /system is mostly "applying patch files":

ui_print("Patching system files...");
apply_patch("/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", "-",
924e5f39815b2406a19044df10ee4e49c9dcb6ae, 126574,
e073bd440533a59a20e23ddde7373b073a938674, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk.p"));
set_progress(0.001156);
apply_patch("/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.odex", "-",
92b6c83dcb8235e4009fe417afb81b4acf399953, 38048,
4cb2f48030c9e4d3367eb08e1458f3378603a7a3, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.odex.p"));
set_progress(0.001503);
apply_patch("/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.apk", "-",
6214152da273247de0cb0b550507f1ef4794a500, 10364,
7e369b51b13e6c17ba9f4fe8d7e2c7d1ea24d491, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.apk.p"));
set_progress(0.001598);
apply_patch("/system/app/ApplicationsProvider.odex", "-",
bd5870b469e92e5dcafa5fc226c5c3986a12c006, 19944,

set_progress(0.001780);

Also, in the update file there are mostly just filename.apk.p files, not full copies of things like gmail or accountsettings.apk.

By the way, thanks for testing and verifying that I was wrong about fastboot flash; sorry to have annoyed you. ;)
[Nexus S General] Teknojunkee:
I find that some crispness is gone as well as the yellowing of the whites. I see a clear difference in some icons and especially the red missed called symbol (seems to be pixelated). I had never noticed this before and still do not on an NS running 2.3.2.

Mark me down for not a fan.

Should be like your tv with color options you can set to your liking.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
You're right, sorry about that. The full update package formats /system, the incrementals do not. Checking now it looks like it's just going to set the permissions improperly - so su is still there, but will not function as we'd like.

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");

set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/bin");

Effectively it might as well not be there, because you can't chmod it properly without root permissions, and you can't get root permissions if it's not chmod'd properly :) Reflashing the su zip through recovery will set the permissions appropriately.

2.3.3 OTA update locations?

I'm curious. People who have actually got the OTA and have not manually flashed 2.3.3, where do you live? Cali, NY etc...
[Nexus S General] laurentbon:
+1

I have decided to wait for the OTA update but no sign of it here in the UK. Anyone has been prompted to update yet? Who hasn't updated via flashing a zip?

Also, Am I right to assume that the fact that my phone is rooted won't make a difference to receiving the OTA prompt?

Cheers,

L
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
What the difference? The update here is the same, that you will get via OTA. Why not to do it manualy?
[Nexus S General] timbouk:
I would wait, I flashed mine last night and its near enough killed 3g data!
[Nexus S General] csmall:
I'm not really asking because I want the OTA but because I'm curious if there is any geographical method to OTA deployments.

From what I have seen people on the west coast in the US tend to get them first and much quicker than the east. It's just how it seems to me, I could be way off.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
It's done by IMEI - Generally Google employees seem to get the updates first (of which most would be west coast based). After that it's anybody's guess how they flag which IMEI's to push to.

On the plus side: 2.3.3 supports 3 jacked headsets on the Nexus S now :-) So those back and forward buttons on my N1 headset now work again on the NS.

Will I get 2.3.3 update from OTA ?

Now i'm using 2.3.3 stock rom with rooted but not unlocked bootloader

Do I have to unrooted it first to get OTA update or I can get the notification whatever?

[Nexus S General] Corvidd:
I still haven't received it either.

Also, I'm wondering whether manually installing the update stops the phone from receiving OTA updates in the future? I know its the official update still, but just wondered whether their servers registered it being pushed out by them to my phone, and doing it myself sort of went against that? Apologies if that's a stupid question

if you have clockwork mod use this as a restore and you will have a rooted 2.3.3 its the easiest way to do it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c1ww7zb837uycbk

just unzip and put the backup folder in your clockworkmod recovery folder boot into recovery and restore 2.3.3 takes 2 minutes and you will boot up with a rooted 2.3.3

Not sure what the issue is but you can always install the full ROM, I believe there is a link in the development section or there is a NANDroid of the update which is how I updated hehe.

Since the update my cell service has been much better, the radio dying when out of service issue is gone, the issue of app install from the market failing due to insufficient storage available is gone, and the color of the screen is infinitely better.

Rooting 2.3.3

I'm using 2.3.3 stock rom with unlocked bootloader on Nexus S. Is there any step by step guide for rooting? Flashing clockwork 3.0.0.5 (crespo) with fastboot don't works. It looks all o.k. in terminal while flashing, but the result is: no root.

Tele
