[Q/Help] 2.3.3 rooted rom as back up wont install ( comming from CM7 ) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay im trying to get 2.3.3 Stock rooted rom onto my phone so it can be used if CM7 goes tits up on me.
I currently have 2.3.2 Rooted stock ROM as my Back up & CM7 as my main.
Every time i try and install a 2.3.3 rom / back up posted on these forums i either get a crash on the google splash screen or an Error code status 7 error ( i think this is to do with an HBOOT, a si have tryed to flat a updated Hboot prior to installing 2.3.3 )
Any ideas guys ?

Did you check this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968403 The rooted 2.3.3 rom from that post worked for me... I cleared cache's etc... before install.

You try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971690 yet?

I tryed both of these methods i have tryed i think 4 diffrent Rooted and 2 diffrent Non rooted roms of 2.3.3
i can get it to the google lock screen or the nexus x bootscreen and the google screen stays there or the animated nexus logo just constantly loops or i just get error specified 7.
No roms of 2.3.3 will load, from either CWM 3.0.0.5 / Recovery.
System Info :
Baseband : I9020XXKB1 ( 2.3.3 Baseband )
Kernal Ver : 2.6.35.7-gc15177c
Mod : CM7-RC1-NS
Kernal : Og-Nexus-CM7-ogext4-1.2.1 ( Voodoo )
Build : GRH78C ( Yes i have been using compatible ROM updates for 78c )

I see the problem. Your kernel (not kernal) is outdated. You're using 1.2.1 with Voodoo which doesn't support Android 2.3.3.
That could be the reason why it isn't booting, try flashing 2.3.3 by Master and then flash netarchy's 2.3.3 compatible kernel along with it.

No problem. Hope it works out, that's why some members (including myself) include their phone setups in their signature because it could play a pretty significant factor into problem solving that is usually overlooked.

[Q] Radio & Update

hey all,
I finally got my self a Nexus S, but still have my Nexus One(that I still love) and I have a couple of questions that Im hopping you guys can point me in the right direction.
I have spent most of yesterday looking for threads on this and unable to get what im looking for.
1). Were do i find an updated Radio for the Nexus S
2). Looking for a rooted 2.3.3 update
the reason I have asked is because on the N1 thread there is a simple step by step guide to update the Radio, Hboot and 2.3.3 rooted updated, and was easy to do.
please help.
thanks & sorry if there is a thread that i missed
Here is a link to the thread with updated radio from CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975105
tried both and they say installing and then bad
Check to see if the baseband was updated in about phone. Also make sure you are using Install Zip from SD Card and navigating to the file, also check the md5 to make sure it downloaded correctly.

I didn't know about that. I flashed the kb1 radio.img through fastboot on CM7 RC1 with netarchy 1.2.4 (not 2.3.3 compatible). I flashed the kb3 radio from the thread I linked and it updated fine.
oK how do i update to 2.3.3 rooted
1. Make sure you phone is rooted
2. Download a comptable kernel for 2.3.3
3. Flash the new kernal using recovery ( when phone is off hold volume up key and power key together)
4. Download 2.3.3 rooted rom from the development thread.
5. Flash the rom from recovery.

Voodoo kernel: how do I install it?

Hi,
I want to improve the sound quality of my Nexus S. It seems that I should follow either the James Bond Kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949292, or the Honity one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973125. I'm a newbie here and can someone tell me how to "update a kernel"?
FYI, I just tried rooted my Nexus S but somehow it stuck at the google screen after clockwork reboot. So I ended up recovering to 2.3.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884194. At least it's not a brick now. Much appreciated if anyone can point to me what I did wrong (I was following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9866675 with recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img but I could never enter android).
Anyway, so I was on 2.3.2 and then I tried two ways:
1. I adb pushed the og-ns-STK-ext4-VS-VC-BLN-1.4.6.1.zip file and tried install from sdcard at recovery mode. It didn't work and stuck at the Google screen (there's an unlock lock below "google").
2. I entered the fastboot page and used fastboot flash boot path_to_jamesbond\boot.img (yes I'm using windows 7 32bit). I got the same result: stuck at google page.
Please help!
Many thanks!
When you went back to 2.3.2 and flashed the kernel, you flashed an incompatible kernel. You downloaded a kernel for 2.3.3 instead of 2.3.2 so therefore it didn't boot. You're sort of on the right track, just download the proper kernel. He has a 2.3.2 kernel available. Flash that.

Thanks. I found a ROM with voodoo so I flashed that one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979851). So far it's good and I will just settle with it.

[Q] Stuck at Google Logo

I flashed 2.3.4 and rooted fine. After I flashed Netarchy kernel 1.3.0.7 on CWM, I'm stuck at Google logo... what can I do? I can't reflash GRI22 because I already have Netarchy kernel installed.

Assuming you don't have a nandroid you could always apply the full 2.3.3 update and then the 2.3.4 update over the top of that to get back to a fresh 2.3.4 and not wipe.

I figured Netarchy 1.3.0.7 CFS is for 2.3.3 ROM... Why didn't I realize that?
Anyway, I was able to mount sdcard on CWM to copy full stock 2.3.3 ROM to the root of SNS and I flashed back to stock 2.3.3 ROM..
What a pain..
I have to re-root my phone
Help! I have the same problem. I'm stuck on the boot logo, but I'm a little more noobish. I added that stock file to my phone, but everytime I go to flash it, it says operation aborted! What am I doing wrong???

[Q] GSM Nexus S ICS 4.0.4 OTA update released?

Last night (27-3-2012) I had a notification pop up on my stock 4.0.3 (rooted with AIR kernel) Nexus S. It was a notification for an OTA 4.0.4 update. I downloaded it (it was about 17.5 megs) and when I tried to update it, it gave an error saying the package couldn't be verified (or something to that effect). I tried searching the SDcard and system folders for the update but couldn't find one. I tried to go to settings and recheck for update but nothing comes up. My wife has the same phone (a Nexus S) and she didn't get a notification and nothing pops up when I do a check for update. I'd love to find the update file and upload it for you guys but I just can't find the bugger. Anyone have an idea where to look? It was late and I didn't take any screen caps cuz I though Google was finally rolling out ICS 4.0.4 but I can't find anything online about this latest update. Any ideas?
EDIT: This is for GSM Nexus S's, NOT Nexus S 4G. My wife and I each have a GSM Nexus S with T-Mobile.
EDIT 2: See Meisze's post for the link. I'll flash it as soon as it downloads and I'll post some info.
EDIT 2.5: I tried to update but got Status Error 7. I'm going to flash the full 4.0.3 update, then the lite 4.0.4 update and that should work.
EDIT 2.5.5: ok, I get Status Error 7 when i try to flash the full stock 4.0.3 update. I'm going to flash 2.3.6 -> 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4 and see if that works.
EDIT 3: WARNING YOU CAN BRICK YOU'RE PHONE! I bricked mine in the process and just got it working again. I was trying to flash the 4.0.4 lite update and it kept saying Status Error 7. So I restore a backup of the phone from 2.3.6. Without rebooting I then flashed the full 4.0.3 update (ot error 7) and then the lite 4.0.4 (again, no error 7). I reboot and nothing... No Google/lock logo, no recovery, no fastboot nothing. I used Adams tool and get into fastboot. I tried flashing CWM recovery and still nothing.
I fixed it by doing this.
1. Used Adam's toll to get into fastboot. Adam's UnBrickable Resurrector program for Linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393 I used Backtrack 5 (Based on Ubuntu)
2. ran fastboot boot recovery.img (Flashed latest CWM touch recovery 5.8.0.2, renamed to recovery.img)
3. In CWM ran the stock 2.3.6 full update
4. Rebooted and everything was back to normal.
5. Went back into CWM, Flashed stock 4.0.3 full
6. Rebooted, everything still fine...
7. Went back to CWM flashed stock 4.0.4 lite
8. Rebooted and everything is working great.
Funny you mention it because I saw this today...

I found it from miui China : http://www.miui.com/thread-504894-1-1.html
Niiiice!
I flashed it.It is booted now.
To flash it you have to be on 4.0.3. stock unrooted
it is android 4.0.4 IMM76D
baseband I9023XXKI1
kernel 3.0.8-g6656123
so it has a new kernel
browser now works as it should have worked in 4.0.3 now it is fast smooth and no white pages.
Recovery works
same here =)

Not necessarily. The link posted here is only for an upgrade from 4.0.3. No one has posted a link from 2.3.6 so it is possible they are pushing only the upgrade for now. These rollouts take time so you aren't guaranteed a notification until it is fully rolled out.

Hanging on the Samsung screen is normal when coming to AOKP from Gingerbread, you need to double flash here's how:
Flash the ROM like normal in CWM, when it reboots and you hang at the Samsung screen use the 3 finger method to get into Recovery (hold power & both Volume buttons). Once there go the Mounts and Storage option and format system, data, and cache...then reflash the ROM again (you may also have to flash the latest gapps if your not using an Aroma installer) reboot and you should be gtg.
it doesn't hang for me

Use Odin or Heimdall to get cwm recovery then follow the steps in the above posts. I think u might even b able to get cwm recovery via the ROM manager app but think that it isn't the recommended method.
When coming from GB, u have to flash twice. That's why u were stuck at the Samsung logo before.
All ics ROMs are flashed the same way so read through the first posts of dev threads. Although the instructions will b the same as provided above.
Edit: And don't try to use a different kernel right off the bat. The one provided with the ROM is usually provided bc it works best.

For Recovery I can use Entropy Daily Driver, But that wont work for MIUI. SO where I can a Kernel which contains CWM for MIUI.

If u look in the "ISET Infuse everything" thread that's stickied in the dev section, there is Odin or Heimdall one click which both will give u cwm recovery.
I'm not familiar with entrophy's daily driver but I thought it was just a GB kernel, which is why it wouldn't work with that miui version bc it is ics.
Edit: I know most (and I believe all) ROMs will have a kernel packaged with them so u can just flash the ROM to get a working kernel. But bc it coming from GB, u need to follow the instructions provided above and flash twice. The reason I am saying use Odin is bc u said u have 3e recovery and I believe that u need to get cwm recovery first. I may b wrong about that tho.

Read post #4 and #6. That tells you how to flash a cm9 rom. I suggest, based only on my experience, flashing Entropy512's cm 9 build. Again, follow the instructions in post 4 and / or 6. I would not flash the current version of miui 4 as a new build will soon be posted. The instructions for flashing miui are in the OP.
