Can't update to 2.3.3 !! - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Trinity Max kernel and I can't update to 2.3.3
I need to revert to 2.3.2 stock kernel but since I'm newbie I don't know how
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

You can either directly flash a 2.3.3 rom (look in the development section, I'm too lazy to look it up, sorry) or you can restore a nandroid of the system before you flashed the new kernel (you did backup your system right??).
lastly, you can look in the dev section for a completely stock nandroid (again, too lazy to find it for you).
Hope that helps.

Backing up Froyo ROMS

I've searched this topic without success so I'm sorry if this has already been answered.
Im running the leaked ji6 and want to try dg's aosp rom. I really like my current setup and want to back up my ROM in case I want to go back. I have never tried to create a backup using rom manager when running 2.1 so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm not able to create a backup. Does rom manager work with 2.2?

[Q] [REQ] Install custom kernel to stock 2.3.4

Hi,
I would like to use supercurios's color calibration tool to change my colors back to vibrant. But I want to preserve the possibility for getting future OTA update. Or if it is not possible with custom kernel then the chance to revert back stock kernel easily at least.
My Nexus is
Hardware: i9020T SAMOLED
ROM: completely stock 2.3.4 (no rooted, no unlocked bootloader)
Baseband: I9020XXKD1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 android [email protected] #1
BuildNr: GRJ22
I read a lot of threads and I'm now pretty confused what I really need to do this and what kernel is for this??
Please help me and give me a step-by-step guide what should I do to use color calibration tool?
Thank you!

please anyone, at least let me know if it is impossible!
thanks!
First of all you need to get clockworkmod recovery. Then you flash a kernel's zip file through cwm. Any kernel in the Nexus S android dev section has supercurio's color mod included, then you can download the Voodoo control app in the market to set your color preference. Hope that helps.

first of all thank you for response
can I install CWM onto 2.3.4 as it is described for 2.3 in stickies? Any kernel is good for receiving and install OTA?
1. yes you can,
2. i think so but im not entirely sure. havent been to stock since a week after i got my nexus s.
if you want to be as close to stock but getting the extra features of a custom rom, i suggest you flash an AOSP (andoird open source project) based custom rom.
Thanks for help!
You're welcome

how can i put a theme on my htc evo 4g rooted revolutionary cwm v4.0.1.4

hi im new in this i rooted my phone via revolutionary cwm i wanna put a theme but i dont know how can i find it someone can help thanks
Where to start?
First (welcome to root and choices), find a theme that's built for whatever rom you're using. I dunno if there's much out there for stock Evo 4.24 rom. There are many for synergy, and the other new sense 2.1/3.0 roms.
After you find a theme you like that's built for your rom, put it on the root of sd card, boot to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache. Go up a menu to 'flash zip from sd catd', find the zip you wanna flash and flash it.
Oh, I know ldc has a nice Gingerbread themed entire rom in the dev section based on Evo 4.24, also, he has a theme/mod thread in the themes and apps subforum for Evo 4.24. I can't remember his exact user name, but it starts with ldc.
Good luck. Enjoy.

My bad. Ldc2335s theme thread is built off mikG, not Evo 4.24. But I still think he has a thread in development forum that IS a rom built from 4.24, and themed all Gingerbread green. Just a place to look. Good luck.

i just rooted my evo 4.53 with revolutionary.io,and i have a nice slpash,buti just downloaded darkhoarse theme and i was wondering if i unzip the file in astro or do i go straight into recovery.it says its for cm7 which is what im currently running.thaks in advance
sry,i just read how to.....dehhrrrrrrr.
I would suggest starting out with FroYo as it gives you MORE choices to choose from
GingerBread is a new OS and not very many kernels or ROMs out when compared to.
May I suggest netarchy-toastmod's 4.3.2 CFS-SBC kernel and a faster 2.2 ROM

CyanogenMod 7.2.0

I'm thinking about trying to flash this ROM. From my "Junior Member" status, I'm obviously inexperienced.
I've read through the dev. thread and the Q&A thread...I have just a couple questions.
Currently on GB 2.3.6 with AntonX kernel (thanks to Lumin30's terrific Heimdall guide).
If I mess up or just want to go back to GB, I know I can flash back to stock & then add the kernel. Will doing a nandroid restore get me to the same place?
Last question: I see that there are 12 releases...do I download the original .zip file and all 12 or just the original .zip file and the last release (+ the Google Apps)?
I've read as much as I can...I don't understand most of the technical terms but I know more than I did a couple months ago. Maybe one of these days I'll know enough to be able to contribute to this forum.
Thanks for any input.

this is a MTD roms
BML can restore via cwm when you want to go to stock in GB
as i said this rom is MTD and you cant do the restore in cwm or twrp WHEN YOU WANT GO BACK TO GB
you need to use heimdall 1click to go back to GB
download the latest release not all releases.. and also gapps
Correct me if i'm wrong
Once you go mtd (cm7, cm9 etc) you'll have to one click back to stock (bml, kj6 kg4 or kd1 etc).
Kind of a general rule concerning cwm backups. You can restore your nanoid using the same kernel that was used to make it. So, in your case, if you don't like cm7 & want to restore. You would need to flash back to stock, add your kernel of choice, & then restore your backup.

Thanks...much appreciated. I can do this....
Download the release before the last one. I think its 12. The latest release has more problems because of the new kernel. Its the latest one released in 2012 not 2013. Cm7, that one is probably one of the most stable roms, except stock n gb

[Q] CM10 with Kernel 3.4 possible? Update prevents going back to old backups??

Hello, i currently have installed the CM10 with the old kernel version.
Reading much of the new posts in the development zone, i see that to get a new ROM i have to update the kernel.
I'm thinking about updating to the Carbon rom, but i notice that i need the new kernel so i can update to this ROM.
My question is this, going from the CM10 with S-ON and the OLD Kernel, what do i need to do to go to the new ROM with the new 3.4 kernel? (In the threads i always see the need to have S-OFF, and i think i'm not interested in going that way)
Will this move prevent me to return to the CM10 backup that i made with the TWRP recovery?
And a final question, what are the bugs that i will notice from moving to the new kernel?
Thanks in advance.
You will be able to go back to a back up. S-off is much better as you can flash at any given time without the need to flash boot.IMG. that'd what makes it better to get the 3.4 kernel you need to have a hboot of 1.13.00.00 or higher. Some are lucky and can have low hboots and flash it while many others( most everybody) can not do this.
