I just recently purchased the nexus s from Rogers. I managed to root it using the gingerbreak app. Now I was wondering how I can flash the CWM recovery on the phone? I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.

There's a sticky on the android development forum. I think it should work for the Canadian NS too.

I had a similar issue. All I did was install rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Choose your phone type whether its the s or the s 4g and you should be good to go.

its in /etc, you have to rename install.recovery.sh to something else. add .bak to the end of the file name. then flashing cw via fastboot will stick.
Yea I tryed installing cwm from the market and I get am error message when trying to flash a recovery

Okay, it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing because you didn't read the guide. Rooting this phone is so extremely easy.
boot into boot loader
fastboot oem unlock
then download recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then you can boot into recovery and flash custom roms
and also since you are posting here i'm sure you didn't read the rooting guide
Ummm... did you read my first post? I'm new to samsungs and the nexus I just came from the evo read before you speak

Yep, I'm an ass because he posted in the wrong place and didn't read the directions. And you're not an ass because you're now making personal attacks and saying I don't have a life.

Here's how to fix your problem.
I ran into the same problem yesterday, it looks like you flashed the 2.3.5 ROM called Full Android. It seemed to have overwritten my recovery and is not a rooted ROM. Just reflash clockwork via the sdk and pick a rooted ROM, Pete Alfonso has a great stock rooted GRJ90 ROM fyi.
Follow the one click root way. Its easy did mine in 2 minutes yesterday. Its posted in the same forum,and also theres a video.

I just flashed to ics and I'm on the road for the rest it the weekend. Is there anyway to flash clockwork recovery back. My boot loader is already unlocked and I have all the files.
Please help

would it allow me to flash back to 2.3.3 if I did some sort of hard reset

Nope.

damn! That's what my curiosity gets me. May have to borrow so.wines computer and download the sdk files

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

So I just went thru like 5 pages of development thread and can't seem to find a completely 100% stock (except rooted) ROM for TMOUS. Anyone have one or a link to it?
A nandroid that can be restored from CWM would be pretty cool, I have heard of its existence but this mythical beast has eluded me...

So here's the deal, I'm using the gt-i9210t and I need CWM but due to some unknown issue (I think my download mode is faulty) I can't flash it via Odin. So I was wondering if anyone could put together a flashable cwm through recovery like they do with the galaxy aces. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9210T using xda premium
I doubt if anyone here can help you, as we are using the sgh-i727.
Totally different device.

that's why I posted here . My device has very little development ATM and what we are using all comes from this phone. So cwm for the skyrocket will be compatible with me.

I brought a galaxy nexus off internet from Hong Kong a few months back now. All is working good and pleased with phone. I haven't got software update yet and currently running 4.1.1
Does anybody know why ? And how can I get the android update please.
Thanks.

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

Thanks for the tips. Will try rooting option.

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.
