[Q] Official rom number? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I just got my Nexus S from UK this week and i can see there is a few around that got android 2.3.3. So my question i am still on 2.3.1 and can't get any updates on the updater on the phone so is there something wrong or is it just a slow process to get the updates out?

I had the same issue but I manually updated using info on here. Search for it and you'll find it no probs.

[Q] New android user

I recently rooted my Inspire. Today there was a WIFI update available and when I went to run the update the screen blacked out with an exlclamation mark. Is this because of the root that the phone will not take the update? Or is that the update process?
Thanks
Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.
Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!
This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

Actually, its likely the side loading update, which most Roms also have. The speed update was weeks ago...

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

Nexus S i9020A Update 2.3.6

So recently I installed the T-Mobile Update by accident.. lost connection and crap. Now I'm back to 2.3.4 ... I just received the 2.3.6 update... possibly the search bug fix. Soooo I press install and crap and when it comes to installing it... it fails... I'm running stock Rom... And just the KB3 Radio With HSDPA Tweak... Anyone Know Why It failed? =\

I received the update 2.3.6 as well but it failed to reboot my Nexus after 15mins, I pulled the battery and rebooted it and am still at 2.3.4.
Is there anything to worry about and do we need it, if so, how can we get the OTA back ?

[Q] OTA being rolled out again, any different?

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362
I downloaded the original GB update back in July, just saw this and haven't had a chance to try it. Anyone know if it is an update over the previous "fix". I sure hope it is, just did the daily battery pull about ten minutes ago. It would be nice to get that fixed.
Nope its 2.3.3

Right, I assumed that would probably be the case. I was talking about the other stuff kernals/basebands or anything at all that could possibly be different which would actually fix this phone.
A friend is downloading it now (he was still on froyo) we will compare and let you guys know if anything appears to have been updated over the first "update/fix".
Ok , it's exactly the same
2.6.32.9

v21e
7/15/2011 build date for the baseband.
back to reading my cancellation policy...

What if your not on tmobiles network anymore? I'm in between phones right now and just using my g2x as a mini tab until I decide what my next device will be. Do I need to be a current T-Mobile customer in order to receive the ota thru wifi?
