[Q] Google's Newest Update 2.3.4! - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm running Aura Rom Based On: 2.3.3 GRI54
Kernel Version: Netarchy 1.2.5 CFS
Radio Version: KB3
I got an system update message this to update to 2.3.4, firstly will this update work? Will it restore my phone to stock? What are my dangers but accepting and applying this update being that my phone is rooted?

You will be able to download it but you won't be able to flash it. For ota updates, you need to be completely stock.

Downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.2

Assuming that I am running a rooted 2.3.3, is it possible to flash 2.2.2? If so, how would I do that? Sorry for the noob question in advance..
This should do it for you:
[ROM] NANDROID Restore Stock Rooted Froyo 2.22 LG-P999-V10f (5-16-2011)
I don't think there's any way right now to downgrade the baseband, but everything else should go back to stock.
Thanks! I successfully flashed 2.3.3 rooted after installing cwm via nvflash. Do you know of any issues that may be caused by running 2.2.2 with newer baseband? My reason for wanting to downgrade is that 2.3.3 broke compatibility with orblive, and I can't get any other music/video streaming app to run as well.

[Q] how to upgrade 2.3.6 from 2.3.4 (rooted)

I have rooted my nexus s and flash the kernel.
Here are the phone details.
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9020XXKD1
Kernel version: [email protected] #27
Build no.: GRJ22
I tried both manual and OTA update, but it failed. Is it due to my kernel version?
I want to update to 2.3.6 as the OTA notification is really annoying.
what should I do? thanks in advance.
I have the same problem, nether the OTA or the manual update via ClockWork works.
Flash the rooted version in cwm. Wipe only cache and dalvic cache. Done. If a radio was changed and you would like to use it flash it via fastboot.

Could you point to the rooted version please?
Ok I found the solution, the OTA update didn't work, and neither did the Update.zip
Grabbed the full Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And updated via CWM.
Working fine and running 2.3.6

[Q] Can't install update from AT&T

Hi -
I'm trying to install the latest update from AT&T. I had previously tried rooting after going back to the default rom, and still have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6 installed. When I download the update and reboot the phone, I get taken to this bootloader instead of giving me the option to install the update. When the phone finishes rebooting, the following message is displayed: "The software could not be updated at this time" My brother said I have to flash, but I'm not sure I know exactly what he meant. (is that just for the bootloader?)
Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you need to be on the stock 3e recovery and not Clockwork
Thanks!
So I need to use Odin to return my phone to stock to fix this?

Do you have the stock recovery installed? It will only flash the official OTA update with the stock recovery. You can not use a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery.
firstly can you get a a signal with your phone since i do believe you got the 4g model?? also have you done a system factory restore before you try to update, you might need to backup either first, maybe it got to do with version or CID on your phone, not to sure never dealt with an international phone before... give more details, like software version and kernel version,

I just got the phone yesterday, so I don't know if it has stock recovery. Can you tell me how i can check this please?
If I don't have it, i could use some instructions on what i need to install.
Thanks.

If you flash a JB ROM you won't have to flash your bootloader again, if that's what you're trying to say. But if you want stock JB, you have to unroot your device.
