I have a Nexus S on 2.3.3 with the Voodoo kernel installed. OTA updates to 2.3.4 fail and phone just reboots.
I tried a manual install of the generic 2.3.4 ROM and it fails at the same point.
How do I go to 2.3.4?
I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted 2.3.3
Cheers,
A

Indeed I did, and it fails too.There seems to be some check it does to see that there is a compatible previous version installed.
I have downloaded ROM Manager to see if there's a way it can do it, but not had a chance to try it yet.

Hey, just wondering if you managed to get 2.3.4 running. I'm having the same problem and I'm not having too much luck >.<

hey all,
I finally got my self a Nexus S, but still have my Nexus One(that I still love) and I have a couple of questions that Im hopping you guys can point me in the right direction.
I have spent most of yesterday looking for threads on this and unable to get what im looking for.
1). Were do i find an updated Radio for the Nexus S
2). Looking for a rooted 2.3.3 update
the reason I have asked is because on the N1 thread there is a simple step by step guide to update the Radio, Hboot and 2.3.3 rooted updated, and was easy to do.
please help.
thanks & sorry if there is a thread that i missed
Here is a link to the thread with updated radio from CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975105
tried both and they say installing and then bad
Check to see if the baseband was updated in about phone. Also make sure you are using Install Zip from SD Card and navigating to the file, also check the md5 to make sure it downloaded correctly.

To install 2.3.3 you MUST HAVE A 2.3.3 Compatible Kernel Running on 2.3.2 !
Grab them from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936219

I didn't know about that. I flashed the kb1 radio.img through fastboot on CM7 RC1 with netarchy 1.2.4 (not 2.3.3 compatible). I flashed the kb3 radio from the thread I linked and it updated fine.
oK how do i update to 2.3.3 rooted
1. Make sure you phone is rooted
2. Download a comptable kernel for 2.3.3
3. Flash the new kernal using recovery ( when phone is off hold volume up key and power key together)
4. Download 2.3.3 rooted rom from the development thread.
5. Flash the rom from recovery.

I flashed 2.3.4 and rooted fine. After I flashed Netarchy kernel 1.3.0.7 on CWM, I'm stuck at Google logo... what can I do? I can't reflash GRI22 because I already have Netarchy kernel installed.

Assuming you don't have a nandroid you could always apply the full 2.3.3 update and then the 2.3.4 update over the top of that to get back to a fresh 2.3.4 and not wipe.
Full 2.3.3: http://android.clients.google.com/p...2cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip

I figured Netarchy 1.3.0.7 CFS is for 2.3.3 ROM... Why didn't I realize that?
Anyway, I was able to mount sdcard on CWM to copy full stock 2.3.3 ROM to the root of SNS and I flashed back to stock 2.3.3 ROM..
What a pain..
I have to re-root my phone
Help! I have the same problem. I'm stuck on the boot logo, but I'm a little more noobish. I added that stock file to my phone, but everytime I go to flash it, it says operation aborted! What am I doing wrong???
Ok so i really want the new baseband on my g2x, i was waiting to see if a flashable would come out but so far nothing
i would like to know if these are the steps to get the baseband and root
1.Go back to stock
2.Get stock recovery
3.Download LG update tool (which i think is found here , http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp)
4.Let it do its thing
5.When its done flash cwm
6.Flash a rom with root
And done? and i would like to know if that baseband can be used on 2.2.2
Watch and follow this video to get you back to stock.

Then run the update.
Then NVFlash
Then rooted rom by Xboarder.
Then do whatever you want.

Go to the dev section and downloaded xboarders rooted rom that includes the update and root. It is a zip that can be installed the normal way after you NVFlash.

I nandroided to stock, unrooted, flashed stock recovery, updated to 2.3.3, using the horrible lg update tool. Then nandroided back to my to cm7 w/ Jul 15th baseband. All is well. Gps is fast as hell, locked in 10 seconds indoors to 4 meters.
Side note: i f#@ing hate the lg updater tool;( 45min of upluging and repluging my phone to get it to take the update. Horrible, i rather use odin.

After returning to stock, you run the LG update then you will have the new baseband. Then NVFlash. Then load the rooted rom.
Then you have new baseband and a rooted rom.
Hi all.
Recently used the LG software to update to the 2.3.3 GB release.
Like we all know, I lost my root.
I found a stock rooted 2.3.3 ROM that I want to use so that I can be rooted again.
Can I "Re-flash" the NVFlash on my non-rooted device?
Will it work to let me flash this new ROM? I've attempted to put NVFlash back onto my device, and it appears that it was successful. I'm nervous about trying to power-down and boot into CWM via NV. Can anyone confirm that this works?

That's how I rooted my G2x after ths update. Just make sure you can boot into recovery then backup, wipe data and install it normally. I was concerned about doing it too, but it worked perfectly normal. I used the 2.3.3 rooted rom. You can find it in the G2x development forum.
Let me know if you any questions.

Hey Donatello,
So, did you use the LG software first, and THEN NVFlash a new ROM?
Or did you just flash a 2.3.3 ROM in the first place?
I'm about to attempt the FIRST of those two. Am I understanding correct that is also what you did?
quick Q but nvflash now roots the device? but no SU is on it, i guess just download that from the market and we're done???
If this is the case I'm so happy cause superoneclick is very buggy to me!

You certainly can, in fact that's one of reccomended steps in getting root back is just reflashing cmw.

That's good, at this point you can safely put any pre-rooted rom you want including the pre-rooted GB 2.3.3 one from xboarders

Last night (27-3-2012) I had a notification pop up on my stock 4.0.3 (rooted with AIR kernel) Nexus S. It was a notification for an OTA 4.0.4 update. I downloaded it (it was about 17.5 megs) and when I tried to update it, it gave an error saying the package couldn't be verified (or something to that effect). I tried searching the SDcard and system folders for the update but couldn't find one. I tried to go to settings and recheck for update but nothing comes up. My wife has the same phone (a Nexus S) and she didn't get a notification and nothing pops up when I do a check for update. I'd love to find the update file and upload it for you guys but I just can't find the bugger. Anyone have an idea where to look? It was late and I didn't take any screen caps cuz I though Google was finally rolling out ICS 4.0.4 but I can't find anything online about this latest update. Any ideas?
EDIT: This is for GSM Nexus S's, NOT Nexus S 4G. My wife and I each have a GSM Nexus S with T-Mobile.
EDIT 2: See Meisze's post for the link. I'll flash it as soon as it downloads and I'll post some info.
EDIT 2.5: I tried to update but got Status Error 7. I'm going to flash the full 4.0.3 update, then the lite 4.0.4 update and that should work.
EDIT 2.5.5: ok, I get Status Error 7 when i try to flash the full stock 4.0.3 update. I'm going to flash 2.3.6 -> 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4 and see if that works.
EDIT 3: WARNING YOU CAN BRICK YOU'RE PHONE! I bricked mine in the process and just got it working again. I was trying to flash the 4.0.4 lite update and it kept saying Status Error 7. So I restore a backup of the phone from 2.3.6. Without rebooting I then flashed the full 4.0.3 update (ot error 7) and then the lite 4.0.4 (again, no error 7). I reboot and nothing... No Google/lock logo, no recovery, no fastboot nothing. I used Adams tool and get into fastboot. I tried flashing CWM recovery and still nothing.
I fixed it by doing this.
1. Used Adam's toll to get into fastboot. Adam's UnBrickable Resurrector program for Linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393 I used Backtrack 5 (Based on Ubuntu)
2. ran fastboot boot recovery.img (Flashed latest CWM touch recovery 5.8.0.2, renamed to recovery.img)
3. In CWM ran the stock 2.3.6 full update
4. Rebooted and everything was back to normal.
5. Went back into CWM, Flashed stock 4.0.3 full
6. Rebooted, everything still fine...
7. Went back to CWM flashed stock 4.0.4 lite
8. Rebooted and everything is working great.
Funny you mention it because I saw this today...

To flash it you have to be on 4.0.3. stock unrooted
it is android 4.0.4 IMM76D
baseband I9023XXKI1
kernel 3.0.8-g6656123
so it has a new kernel
browser now works as it should have worked in 4.0.3 now it is fast smooth and no white pages.
Recovery works

Not necessarily. The link posted here is only for an upgrade from 4.0.3. No one has posted a link from 2.3.6 so it is possible they are pushing only the upgrade for now. These rollouts take time so you aren't guaranteed a notification until it is fully rolled out.

Writes bootloader and radio only. Then I get file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory

Had to first install the complete 2.3.6, and then the complete 4.0.3, and now the 4.0.4 patch goes through without errors.
