[Q] Nexus S rollback from 2.3.2 to 2.3.1 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I have a nexus S and I received a minor update which updated my phone to 2.3.2(build GRH78C). I recently downloaded the update files for 2.3.3 but I am having a error while updating as my version is 2.3.2 and the update files are to update the 2.3.1 version(update from GRH78, I presume). I tried a lot but I am unable to find a way (without rooting the phone). Can you please let me know if you have any ideas?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Adi

Help with official update and clockwork mod

Hi There!
A few months ago I've installed clockworkmod 3.2.0.0, in a failed attempt to upgrade my MZ604 UK Xoom to ICS from 3.2.
I forgot about this device for a while. Today I received the OTA update for ICS. But after downloading, and when it rebooted, it entered into the recovery of clockworkmod.
I really don't know what to do. I tried to just reboot and think that it would bypass, but after starting it shuts down into recovery. Tried to shutdown, same problem
I now have a device that only reboots
Could someone help me how to apply the google official update?
REgards
flash stock xoom images and then waite for ics update
here's official image link

It's normal you can't flash OTA because you have a custom recovery. You need stock recovery for that. You can download a factory image from Google, extract it and flash the recovery inside using fastboot.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju
ALSO, stop using Odin. There's no need to use Odin or nearly on Nexus S. This thing is nearly unbreakable and you have more chances of breaking stuff with Odin than anything else.
thanx for quick replay
flashed factory GB 2.3.6 straight away using sdk tools
now will root it and install custom clockwork recovery to prevent from automatic OTA updating to lagy ICS
Use FOTAKill instead,

Thanx for good advice. Installed it allready.

Need a FLASHABLE build.prop file! (STOCK ROM) (STUCK ON BOOTLOOP)

Hello guys,
I am running on STOCK Cyanogen OS 12 on Android 5.0.2 on my YU Yuphoria. I have rooted my device and I have TWRP installed. SO it all started when I messed around with the build.prop file. I did not take the backup of the file and I went forward with changing the Android Version of my phone to "6.0" And guess what, now I'm in an endless bootloop. I require a zip file of the build.prop which could be flashed via TWRP. Also, I do not want to loose ANY data. I am really worried about this and I'd be glad if anyone out there could help me with the "FLASHABLE ZIP" of "build.prop" that I could flash via TWRP recovery.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Writing with GREATEST of hopes.
Thanks in advance,
Akshat

[ALE-L21] Software install failed when I want to install EMUI 3.1 as dload

Hello everyone!
I am newbie there so If I did something wrong then I am sorry.
I have a big problem so I so need your help (in sos?).
I am trying install back EMUI 3.1 cause 3.1 was faster and power saver than 4.0.3 so I would to install back 3.1.
I found a zip file which is contain update.app. It has been downloaded from huawei's site (c1.huawei.com). So maybe it is an offical package
I am trying install EMUI 3.1 since yesterday.. But I always got an error (Software install failed). If I install an rollback android 6 to 5 then my recovery is dies. I did everything I saw on xda and other forums.. My phone is unrooted, bootloader is unlocked everything.. I so need EMUI 3.1. :crying: Please a helpful person.
Thanks,
Balázs.
Solved
I hopefully solved the problem. Solution: Extract img files from .UPDATE app and flash it with fastboot.
You need flash boot recovery system and cui (or what is that) img with fastboot.
Now my problem is I do not have IMEI on 3.1 but on custom 4.0.3 rom I have that. So my SIM card is not reading I can't connect to network. Anyone can help me in SOS?
