My unrooted Nexus One STILL hasnt received the 2.2.2 OTA update and manually updating always fails (says it cannot verify or something).
Should I be worried about this? Also has everyone else received their OTA or am I the only one that hasnt yet?
Thanks.
Hey guys i just wanted to add that after a couple more days theres still no 2.2.2 here. Manual update not working yet either i cant find a fix. Any solutions anybody?
I am running on stock Android 2.3.1 on an unrooted Nexus S. I have had the phone for about a week and have not received an OTA prompt for either 2.3.2 or 2.3.3. Is there anything that I can do to force the OTA other than manually installing? Since the phone is only a week old, I would still be able to exchange it at Best Buy and would like to know if this is a problem with the phone or not.
Thanks for your help in advance.

The OTA will roll out over several weeks and will not show up on your phone until your IMEI is flagged to receive it. It's not a problem with your phone.
You can manually install the update if you'd like to receive it sooner.
[Q] I'mgetting "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip" when I try to update my Nexus S
I've searched countless times on how to fix this, yet every time I find a thread containing someone asking about this they never answer it or they're dealing with a rooted device.
My device is not, and has never been, rooted. Never manually updated anything on the phone before trying now.
I tried to manually update to 2.3.3 after never receiving the OTA. Then I tried the 2.3.4 update and I keep getting the "Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip" message.
Can someone explain, or point me in the direction, of a non-rooted answer. Why am I getting this message to begin with?
Do you own the European version? The SLCD 19023 one?
No, it's the American version.
It's weird because I received the 2.3.2 update. But aftr that...I never got the 2.3.3 pushed to me. And now when I try to manually update to the .3 or .4 update...I keep getting that message.

me too. the same problem with my Nexus S
And me too, Davey. Same problem. Bought the Nexus S in New York on late December and I live in Spain. My phone is unrooted.
Haven't received the OTA for 2.3.3 yet and tried both manually updates for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, but getting the same message as you.
It's frustrating!
Same problem here with a UK-bought Nexus S. I have tried with the bootloader Locked and Unlocked. Although bought in UK there is no guarantee that it is not an American import. It was bought from Carphone Warehouse who seem to source their kit from any where they can get it.
So as other people are successfully installing it has to be something specific to this physical handset.

So from the few posts here it's seeming like an international device issue...but yet I'm in the States. So I don't get it.
It's just frustrating that I can't get an answer about it. Many a people are speaking on it, but nobody can explain or solve it. Sigh.
Same issue as you - error in /tmp/sideload
I have Nexus S 2.3.3 (manually updated) from US. I am trying to manually bump it to 2.3.4 -- same issue. I have rooted & unlocked the device. No Mods here.
Same error.

Updated!!!
OK guys -- Finally figured out the problem for /tmp/sideload/package.zip.
If there is any change to the bootloader by any app (RomManager or has ClockWorkMod), then you won't be manually be able to upgrade to 2.3.4
Solution for those on GRI40 2.3.3
1. Flash stock 2.3.3 gingerbread again in recovery more. Do a quick search on XDA and grab it. Almost 90 MB file.
2. Once flashed - Boot it, sign in with google account and under setting, privacy - do a factory data reset. Start it clean. I DID NOT checked the SD card data.
3. Flashed 2.3.3 in recovery again.
4. Reboot it. Did not signed in once booted. Turn USB ON. Put the 2.3.4 file (around 12 MB).
5. Flash it again in recovery mode.
6. I signed in to Google account without restoring my backup.
That's it. On 2.3.4 - Unlocked state remains!
Hi there!
Finally managed to install the 2.3.4 version on my Nexus S and works perfect! Already tried the Google Talk video chat and it's fantastic.
You can find all the instructions and the update files in the following link (thanks to the impaler for that):

If you plan on rooting, then don't bother with the OTA. You'll have to wipe the phone while rooting, then update to the latest. If you don't plan on rooting, then the OTA should show up when tell it to check. What version does it currently say you are running?
Even if you don't plan on rooting, I still wouldn't update. Otherwise you may end up frustrated with reboots.
I got my TB back in May. Didn't have one issue until I did the update. Since I only had the phone for 11 days VZW told me to walk into a store and exchange for a new one. I have had no issues with the new phone and will stay clear of that update. Wait until GB comes out and hopefully that will fix what ever is wrong.
This is my first post on this site, though I have trolled these forums since I got my smartphone. I have learned a lot too!
Currently my phone is a rooted Maxx HD (xt926) running JB 4.1.1. From what I have read on the forums, going to 4.1.2 might break my root and WILL keep me from going back to ICS using a tool I found on this site (Matts tool I think its called). I have decided its not worth the upgrade until someone gets root with a stock JB instead of with ICS then a JB upgrade.
I am glad I caught it in time. The updater started the 4.1.2 download so I turned off wifi and data to stall it. I couldn't cancel the download. I have Titanium Backup and froze Updater 4.1.1. This took my downloading notification away completely. Now if I try to do an update, it says an update is currently downloading, however I have no notification or any sign something is actually downloading, so I think that stopped it.
I am hoping this doesn't mess up future OTA updates should I defrost and try again.
This isn't a question so much as I didn't see a thread that covered stopping OTA notifications with this phone after a search. This procedure seemed to work great so far. This is probably such a simple thing to veteran android users that it probably wasn't posted, or I didn't find the post. I am hoping this will help other noobs. Or if this won't work or breaks something else, hopefully someone will point it out.
