What do I download and put in the sd card? The full rom, or one of the others? And what are GRH78 and GRH78C?
[Nexus S General] tuice:
thanks, it worked for me, easier than I expected
[Nexus S General] Stanlehh:
Is this the full stock 2.3.3 rom for the i9023, xxxkb3, GRI54?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
No, all the links in this thread are for I9020T. The ZIPs all contain GRI 40 with KB1 radio.
[Nexus S General] Stanlehh:
Shucks, any idea where can I find the stock full rom of 2.3.3 for my i9023?
[Nexus S General] turagaramki:

If you're stock and unrooted - download this and place it on the root of the SD card - named update.zip. Boot into recovery. Hold Pwr and then Vol up and then choose to apply update.zip. I updated the OP as well.
[Nexus S General] selectormoldy:
Just got the update for GRH78C!

If you are still on 2.3.2 and your IMEI is flagged for an update you should be able to checkin *#*#2432546#*#* to get the OTA notification or check for updates again through settings.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
What happens when you reboot and go into recovery? I get the Exclamation
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Well done - OP updated.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
You're on stock recovery - hold pwr and hit vol up
[Nexus S General] diesel2k:
Thanks so much. Just upgraded from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 :-)
[Nexus S General] jonc:
Just applied the 2.3.2->2.3.3 update, seemed to work fine :-)

Took a bit longer than usual to start up the first time, but up and running...
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
is that how the stock recovery is? I though there was a menu with settings and all, like CWM?
[Nexus S General] jaker.the.skater:
same here. thanks for the 2.3.2 > 2.3.3 update!
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
Either way, I rooted and flashed CWM.

How long? I have applied it, and it's taking forever to startup. I just see the startup animation... I'm getting worried.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
Relax. :cool:
[Nexus S General] bogdi1988:
so i updated the phone. had it rooted with the locked bootloader. ran the update and it kept superboot and i am still rooted :)
[Nexus S General] gasparzim:
I´m rooted, netarchy kernel, tried to install the C one and got an error Status 7, with assert failed: apply_patch_check. Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] catchsomezz:
exact same situation :(
[Nexus S General] Phantom1275:
After almost 10 minutes of "relaxing", I got worried about battery charge, put it to charge via USB, got that usb mass storage enabling screen... and it has finally started. Phew!!

It was a Launcher Pro issue, maybe. It got stuck, the phone didn't come up from the boot animation, through the usb mass storage screen I could get over the Launcher Pro FC. Just restarted it, and everything is 2.3.3 fine now. :D
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
Where did you get this update because....

I Odin back to stock, 2.3.1 and then I got the the 2.3.3 update from here and now my colors on the phone are all messed up like, the the blacks are not true blacks so I odin back to stock now things are fine. if I was the all of you I would wait for the ota:mad:
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
Thanks for the find. Now running Android 2.3.3 Build GRI40. Feels great! I just noticed that they changed the battery meter charging color from orange to yellow. Small, but noticeable change.
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
how did you odin back to stock? and after that how did you apply the update?
[Nexus S General] hutzdani:
Die launcher pro !
[Nexus S General] gasparzim:
Ok, I restored my system back to stock kernel, and updated.
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
I also felt as if the colors were off. I'm thinking about doing this as well. Do I have to root and all that stuff just to revert back to Android 2.3.2? Or will the possibly real Android 2.3.3 update get to my phone soon anyways?
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
I Odin back using Odin GT-I9020 and then I got the udate from here and renamed it update but, after update collors will look sick and not good.
[Nexus S General] catchsomezz:
thanks for reporting back! are you getting the same color distortions as well?
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
im rooted and unlockd so what do i do? just flash this in cw? im confused i am on 2.3.2
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
You wait for another version of the update, as this update seems to distort the color reproduction and makes things look weird.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
so it sounds like 2.3.3 isnt worth it
[Nexus S General] cheetah2k:
Stock phone, locked bootloader - updated in less than 3 minutes.

Works fine, no colour issues here!

Finally I can make a 10 min phone call without a reboot!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
[Nexus S General] CB620:
i dont think this is the official update. if so that sucks for people that updated.
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
no don't root, just Odin back to stock and thats it. I'm just happy that I'm not crazy and not just seeing things. I guess lots of people here are just happy to see 2.3.3 even with a bricked colored screen but, I did just Odin back to stock and now things are just fine as far as colors go.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
It's a signed update from Google who has already said the OTA is pushing. I am guessing it's official. This isn't like the N1 where Google never said the OTA was going out and we were pulling OTA links going out to google employees and dev devices while they went through iterative builds getting ready for the full OTA.

Some of the commits to 2.3.3 dealt with color correction - they likely wanted to "fix" the overly blue tint present and this is the result. I personally prefer it, but it seems like most do not.
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
At first, I was worried that the update is not official, but the more people talk about it, the more it seems like the change was on purpose.

Multiple people in the other thread about this update are complaining about problems with the color, and they updated from 2.3.1. Rumor is that Google changed how the color is reproduced.

@cheetah: Are you sure you are really paying attention to the way the colors look? Switch around the brightness settings.
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
Not calling BS, but can you point me to where it is that Google mentions color corrections? I just did some searching and didn't find anything referencing that.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
ill pass until further notice. i have a backup but i dont want to go through with the "washed" colors
[Nexus S General] johnkim0011:
So which file do I download if I have 2.3.1 stock?

GRH78C or GRH78

Thanks! :D
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
I saw it looking through the git repo the other night. I'll see if I can dig it up again in a bit - kids to tend to now.

Here we go

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=de...it;h=5f097e0d3a3de48bea788852e1ea024c674ff3c5

Update kernel: TFT, gamma, graphics DDK

e761689 ARM: herring: panel: Correct color temperature.

9132519 ARM: herring: panel: Update gamma table

That's my guess as to the start difference in color.

It was submitted on 12-20 - It's not in the 2.3.2 log (last commit 12-17). So it wouldn't have been present in 2.3.2
[Nexus S General] Dougalachi:
Thanks for the confirmation on that one. Looks like it can finally be put to rest, hopefully. Maybe I'll get used to it in a few days. I'm curious to see if this will have a noticeable effect on battery life.
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
This looks bad, to bad for google to screw the screen like this. It don't look better it don't look bad, it looks sick. Like a sick person pairing with death.
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
Omggggggg can someone please tell me already how do i update???????????????? Just flash it in cw?

How to root it? That is the question :)) Tadadada daaa da ta da ta da taaaa :)))
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
Sick Colors

I'm not going to rest on the fact that the gamma/graphics are the intentional root cause to the display looking sick do to Google's good intentions. People shoot me if I'm wrong but, I would hate to see many of people crying talking about I'm stuck with a bricked device and need help please!!! I will bet a trillion dollars that this is a issue not on the change log.
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
A screenshot would not be of any use...the image being displayed is the same, its just being displayed differently. Someone would have to take actual photos of the screen.

The update definitely displays color more accurately. Coming from the overly warm purple tinted screen I can see why some would say it looks "yellowish." I disagree. I just think the purple hue has been removed.
[Nexus S General] shikem:
Just updated mine.

The colors look muted and washed out compared to what they looked like before.

No bueno Google!
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Well I agree that the grays are much better now, very similar to what supercurio achieved with his color profile but the whites are indeed very yellowish. When brightness is set to low it gets very noticeable.
[Nexus S General] atxandroid:
I don't like the yellow tint. The screen doesn't have true white anymore.
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Done. Easy. Thank you! It looks good to me color and all!:)
[Nexus S General] selectormoldy:
No problem! You're welcome.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Can't wait to flash this when it hits CM7. I for one thought the colors on this phone were way too blue tinted when compared to pretty much any other phone on the market. Will be happy for a more natural looking white.

Dude, the patch would not apply on a stock phone if it was fake. Thats just how it works. I have updated nexus S and Nexus one today. Yes the colors look different but its not really a problem. If it is an actual bug I am sure google will fix it some time in the future.

[Nexus S General] Teknojunkee:
I too have noticed the difference in the screen colors and look. I am not a fan. Honestly, I think it is not too drastic but enough to annoy me. On Auto Brightness everything seems more washed out, yellow, and dare I say pixelated. Maybe it is just my eyes playing tricks on me but my Voice Search button and Red arrows for missed calls look horrible and pixelated (something I never had a problem with).
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
what do you get on the "assert" line?

I was getting this

Unlocked/rooted here. I overwrote EmailGoogle.apk with a modified version awhile back - now I can't apply update.zip because EmailGoogle.apk is failing a check (Error 7). I don't have a backup of it. Anyone have a copy of it (2.3.1) or any other solutions that will let me upgrade from 2.3.1? I've got ClockworkMod installed if that helps.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
Nothing, this is the stock recovery. You have to hit volume up and power (or is it the other way around?) to get to the menu. Is kinda tricky to get it right lol
[Nexus S General] jalyn02:
Your not crazy it's this fake update.
[Nexus S General] pkx:
SHould that work even if I'm still on 2.3.1? or should I get the boot.img from 2.3.1?
[Nexus S General] nicholasbgr:
You should download this one:

In your case you will need to restore the system.img instead cause this is where the EmailGoogle.apk is located.

Also, I did notice a difference in the colors, like everyone else has been saying. I'll deal with it, if it helps fix that goddamn reboot glitch.

[Nexus S General] AtomicPC:
Okay, I'm downloading the update and doing a ti backup. After it all downloads and I redo the backup I'm going to boot into fastboot and boot the cresp image and make a backup from there. So in other words I have a locked bootloader and am rooted.

There are somethings I do not understand. I think this is what I should do after all the stuff gets copied to my computer. fastboot oem unlock which wipes. Does 2.3.2 stay on my phone and only apps and stuff on SD get removed? How does that work? Would it be the same if I just applied the update after doing a titanium backup? Like if I lost root get it back and only have to backup from the titanium.

Yeah it sucks. But I guess thats another negative post by me.count them up since there are so many

[Nexus S General] jblade1000:
Can someone tell me if this series of events will work out ok for this update. This is what i did for the last update from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 with no issues:

1. Download the .zip file from the link.

2. Save it as update.zip

3. boot into cwm recovery

3. install update.zip

4. after the update, it should go back to cwm recovery main menu

5. mount /system

6. install zip from sdcard

7. flash su zip

8. reboot

9. rename stock recovery boot script

10. use rom manager to reflash cwm

done. the only thing im not sure of is if this update reboots after it installs, as the last update didnt, it went back to cwm main menu after it was done installing.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Ok I have a unlocked bootloader how do I do it and keep root and apps?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
This will work fine - I did this on my locked N1 for several OTAs. Just watch it, if it does reboot just make sure you hold vol up and boot into recovery (install-recovery.sh won't run and replace CWM until Android actually boots).

If Rom Manager won't flash CWM after you root you can use the flash_image binary as well and flash from terminal emulator.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Where can I find the su.zip?

This should have the full radio as well hopefully, not just a patch.

Edit: Radio.img is present
[Nexus S General] CB620:
So what's different from the one from earlier
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
This is the full ROM, not an incremental update. Meaning you can apply it over any ROM - non stock included and get your 2.3.3 goodness on.

It also contains the full radio.img instead of a messy patch (nice for extracting for flashing).

That's the thing I dont want to update and can't go back.
[Nexus S General] kaimyn:
If I install the full rom from CWM (rooted, bootloader locked), will I be able to immediately install SU after installing the rom or do I need to reboot and hold volume?

If I miss this step, does that mean I can't fastboot to CWM and get back to an older nandroid?

Thanks!
