Hey Folks,
I'm pretty new to this Rooting and Roming of Android devices so please bare with me if this sounds like a stupid question.
Last weekend I roots my nexus s i9023, installed ClockworkMod 3.x and Axura NSE Rom ( Gingerbread 2.3.3 ) with netarchy 1.2.5cfs Kernel. Everything went perfectly but now I'm being badgered by the Auto Update to in OTA update 2.3.4. The Nexus S is on Vodafone NL.
My question being a nooby is can I go ahead and let the OTA update install on reboot ( will it have any effect on my rooted device, recovery image or custom rom? ) ?
If not, how do I get to 2.3.4? Do I wait for Axura 2.3.4 update? Or is there a way to disable Auto Update from bugging me every couple of hours.
Any help would be great,
Neil
I don't think you will have able to update to 2.3.4 its because you flashed clockwork an you have a custom rom. I suggest trying out another rom that has a 2.3.4 Core. Also axura nse is no longer supported by master so you might not see an update on it.

You will lose root and recovery if you install the OTA. Not hard to root again, but just install a custom 2.3.4 rom

I have the rooted stock which comes with the bubby's GUI... a few weeks ago my phone tells me that there is an upgrade for my software and naively I download it and try to install it.. well it didn't work out of course. Now my question is: is there a stock rooted Rom up to date?
Thanks for the answers.

One of the things you lose when flashing a new ROM is the updates, but if you chose a good one that has great DEV support the updates are usually available pretty soon....you have to wait for the updates to be baked into the ROMs so just keep checking here for the updates
Stock rooted Rom with update.

I used att1n's stock rooted with side loading (flashed to rcmix 3d). He has the update installed and bloat ware removed and side loading enabled. Its a good stock rom if thats what your looking for. No bugs or issues that i could find. If your going to flash anyway check the dev section and look at some of the other roms. Plenty of sense roms if your staying stock to keep sense.
I'm using a stock DeOdexed rom, rooted by ADB & netarchys stock kernel.. will I still be able to receive updates from google??
I believe you'll receive a notification but you won't be able to update.

You need not worry about it. I promise you, if you are the kind of person to be rooted and running custom ROMs and kernels, you will certainly be flashing the update manually far before 99% of users get any OTA update
I know to flash the update you might need to be on stock, but you can always flash stock then update.
ok, so I picked up the Cappy tonight, did alot of reading,
PLEASE NOTE, I have a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896, On Froyo 2.2
I successfully rooted the device with superoneclick,
downloaded Rom Manager, Flashed Clockwork recovery for Galaxy S Captivate
Reboot to recovery, select re-install packages, FAILED Signature...and aborts,
What am I doing wrong here?
Is there a better method? Every guide I read said to do it with rom manager...do I need to flash the stock rogers GB with bootloaders? then retry clockwork again?
/Lost
soooooo.....
you didnt actually SEARCH for the ACTUAL ERROR MESSAGE that you got?

Rom Manager isn't needed anymore. Not once have I installed Rom Manager on my phone.
This should help you out.

Thanks thats exactly what i needed, i now have cm7 loaded up.
one question tho, while cm7 would install fine i initially tried to flash the ICS port by teamhacksung and it resulted in a bootloop, is there some step im missing? are someupdates only installable from internal sdcard?
You must be on a mtd based rom, which cm7 is, (touch wiz roms are bml based) before flashing to ics. U should be able to flash ics with no problem now.

ok will give it another shot!
Enjoy, it's quite different
Well, ics successfully flashed this time.
Only difference from my last attempt was I flashed a cm7 nightly instead of stable, also once on cm7 I flashed a newer radio as well as the glitch kernel. Dunno what had affected it before but its now running nicely on ics build 9.
Thanks for the help guys, I guess where I got hung up is where cwm resides in the kernel on this device? Where on all my htc's we simply flash cwm over the stock recovery. Anyways thanks again!

The glitch kernel is not compatible with ics, as of yet. It was over written when u flashed ics I'm pretty sure.
Well being completly new to this device was a lot of learning, I still have no idea what I did wrong initially to get stuck in bootloops, but I somehow managed to get cm7 working and then up onto ics so all is well as far as I can see now. Its a backup device for us so I'm pretty sure I will only be flashing ics as it matures. Must say the ics on the cappy is pretty far ahead in terms of usability compared to the desire z, great work here from your devs! And thanks for the pointers guys!

In store they are doing upgrades on the mezmerize to 2.3.5...waiting to get mine done...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
yep, got mine updated the other day! 2.3.5 is nice and im rooted
Was gb (2.3.4) already rooted before the update? Did you lose anything?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
when i upgraded to 2.3.5 from 2.3.4 i was rooted and lost the root and apps. but you can get it back the same way you root 2.3.4.
then the device was having problems so i called the tech support and the guy there (Alan) told me that the up date was made for a tablet. so i re-installed the 2.3.4, rooted and went custom.
You don't have to go to a store to get 2.3.5. Go to rootzwiki and flash it yourself...
ICS
Id recommend running Ice Cream Sandwich, Screw 2.3.5.
Follow the directions on a rootzwiki page, and you can easily get it.
The rom runs pretty smooth and is far better than gb.
Just remember to flash rom, flash gabbs in cwm, then gabbs fixer in cwm, then gps fixer.
Id recommend installing icy glitch to help your in-call volume settings as well.
Today I bought a slightly outdated Nexus S 4G
I immediately received an update from 2.3.7 to 4.0.4 although I was fully aware it was out of my GB comfort zone, I performed the update because people said ICS was quicker, and more responsive. Within the first 2 minutes of using I was unsatisfied. I tried to find ways of reverting back to GB, but I couldn't find much help. I don't know how to use Odin and my phone is not rooted. I can't use the recovery option without getting the 'sleeping' android with its chest open, then I have to do a battery pull. I HATE ICS and desperately want to go back to GB. Although this is most likely in the wrong forum I don't care. I just need help

Here's what I would do. Root the phone, after reading through the proper "how to's". Then you will have several Gingerbread options ... all the way from Cyanogen Mod and all it's options, down to Peter Alfonso's stock rooted versions, and Oxygen by Adam G. Once rooted, your phone's performance will be greatly enhanced, especially with GB.

Dude root your phone theres so many guides on how to do that.. and ask at q&a section not here..
Sent from my Nexus S®
1) Root Nexus S
2) Install latest CWM Recovery
3) Download Stock Gingerbread Rom From here
4) Flash it using CWM
That's it!
Nothing to really add, but how can you judge something off of using it for 2 minutes? Seems like a pretty harsh judgement for something you've barely used.

Download the cm7 in cyanogen site. Then go to goo.im and find the latest GB gapps.
Boot i to recovery
Go to mount and storage format /data/boot/system/cache. Wipe dalvic cache. Flash rom and flash gapps.

before you go back to GB, I really suggest you try CM9, It's much snappier than GB.

What @mixtapes said!
Root. Profit.
Custom Rom on 4.0.4 is better than Stock GB hands down!
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Same here, but with a i9023
I:
rooted my phone
data/cache wipe + /system and /boot format
installed the stock 2.3.6 rom (no cyanogen or others, they drain too much battery)
installed fotakill.apk (just take it from any custom rom) (OTA notifications are annoying and the apk just disables them)
am enjoying a stock (but rooted) GB
Just to clarify, root is necessary on ICS in order to downgrade, but you can keep unrooted the stock GB rom
I agree with you: ICS sucks (compared to GB). Drains too much battery and doesn't offer any (important) surplus.
