You won't be able to use the patch file (the smaller one) to go from 2.3.1 because the files needed aren't there. If you use the full rom (you'll have to root to apply it) then the answer to your question is yes. The easiest way is to either wait for 2.3.2 and then do the manual update or manually push both of them.

so is it ok to manually update my nexus s to 2.3.2 then to 2.3.3? By the way my phone is not rooted, will i have a problem if i do it manually? (2.3.2 to 2.3.3)
or i have to root my phone then manually push both updates?

If you can find the update file for 2.3.2 then absolutely. You'll just have to do them one by one and rename them each "update.zip"

find a 2.3.2 nandroid backup in the development forum and nandroid restore to it

If I went directly from 2.3 (or 2.3.1, I forgot) to 2.3.3, does that mean that the sms bug wasn't fixed?

You can upgrade directly from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 without needing root permission.
I did this myself using one of the manual download links, there is a upgrade package to go from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 which includes the 2.3.2 fixes.

You asking if you can OTA the update when its officially released?
If your running a custom ROM and kernel than you can't OTA it. If your just rooted and are running the stock ROM I believe you can OTA it but it will make you lose root.
If your running a custom ROM, you might as well just flash a custom FroYo ROM thats based off the Official FroYo one when its released, we all know the Dev's here make things better.

If you are running a completely stock Epic with no modifications to the kernel/ROM etc., then you will receive an OTA notification when it is available. If not, you will have to wait until the new .tar comes out in order to flash it with Odin, or you can go back to complete stock to receive the OTA.
Ok thats all i needed to no ty all for the fast responses! YOUR THE BEST GUYS! and yea im all stock so ill be getting it ota dont no the release date yet but im looking forward to it this month (I HOPE! lol) anyway just wanted to say ty and keep up your good work guys i check back very often and see wats out and new ;P

thanks
You can't downgrade from 2.3 Gingerbread... Sorry. Just isn't possible as of yet. But if your trying to downgrade because you took the OTA update and now can't root your phone, just wait, someone will make a root for Gingerbread here in the next couple weeks. Or get your learn on with Linux and do it yourself.

Maybe... But you can try it! Can you get it via OTA? If the answer is yes make it this way... you can abort installation once donwloaded and upload it searching it via Root explorer... Its only an idea..
But... you have 177 version... Its strange that you have an update... you have lastest froyo version...
Check out!
EDIT: Last version is 179...
no I don't have any update via ota, only via motorola software update....can you tell me if I can update with root permission without problem or is better remove them?
yes you can men dont be afraid

no i'm not so stupid i'm doing it, after it finishes I'll post news
ok
pls share the sbf... if possible and let us know if english language is supported or not supported...
i don't know how to share the sbf!
all done....no more root but i can't see any difference....
my version and my number build are the same...not sure on the other infos...
so what did it update???
I really don't know unfortunately...seems nothing
Settings->About phone - any details? Kernel version/buid number/etc?
kernel: 2.6.32.9
the other infos in the first post
And your sure its not an msu update?
i lost root on my phone, it can't be a msu update....i don't know is a mistery
it's a repair, not an update, it "fixed" your rooted phone
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
so it detected that I had root and he removed it? I'm right? because when it was searching for updates, it controlled that my phone was under guarantee....thanks I think you have found the right answer, sorry for the inutility of the thread! I was hoping in an official update from motorola but there are no hopes...
sorry for bad english

Use one of the update files from this post, if you have changed any files since you rooted you will have to probably restore those files first, if you are completely stock then just flash through CWM. Cheers.

Yes, you can update with root as long as you have stock recovery- did you really need to start ANOTHER thread asking this question though? It has been answered by me at least ten times since the update hit my tab at 6 am (that's 5 hours ago).
Please search people!

It's a little bit rare but you can try forcing to install downloading the update from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398186
It's for i9020T but it works with i9023 too!
Regards,
Urko
PS: Can anyone thanks me? I can't release my Rom on the Dev section because I don't have 10 posts thanked! Ahh and the post was made a little bit with Google Traductor, I'm 16 years old.. xD Sorry
