Hi guys,
I was having problems while updating my nexus S(9020T) to 2.3.4. I manually updated my phone from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and everything was smooth and fine. Before I tried to flash the stock ROM(2.3.4) for 9020T over my current settings, I was running on build GRI40 baseband JK8 bootloader KA3. the small update from GRI40 - GRJ22 did not work for me. Hence, I used the following link(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062) to download the full ROM and update. The update did not succeed and for the first few reboots, I was able to go into fastboot mode and try to flash again. Eventually after a few reboots, the phone stopped booting up.
Right now it is just in a blank state and I am afraid it is hard bricked. Is there any way to get around this state?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Can you enter into bootloader screen?

Hey everyone - I recently flashed Android 2.3.4 onto my 9023 just to give it a spin and I noticed that the bootloader was also being flashed.
Now I reverted back to the nandroid backup of the cm7 system I was using before but I'm a bit confused because fastboot tells me the bootloader version is I9020XXXKA3 and I'm not sure that it wasn't somethin with 9023 before
So if anyone is running (prefereably stock) 2.3.1, 2.3.2 on their 9023 or at least has never flashed 2.3.4 I'd be really interested to know what their bootloader says.
Especially since I'm having some hardware problems and might have to send the thing is. So to make it appear untouched it'd be good to knwo whether I need Odin or just a stock rom....
Thanks in advance
Just nandroid restore your stock 2.3.4 ROM, restore stock recovery, lock the bootloader. Your phone will be fully stock again, and it's perfectly sensible to have updates installed on your phone since purchase, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,
I am also facing same issue. After updating to 2.3.4 my i9023 fastboot shows baseband as I9020XXKD1 and Bootloader as I9020XXKA3. Even I am worried. I bought it yesterday only and I manually updated to 2.3.4 from full rom google link for i9023. In about section the device still shows baseband as I9023XXKD1. Even I am bit scared and completely confused! I also found that MUMBAI MTNL DOLPHIN sim card connection is no more getting HSPA connection but only 3G!

After having a number of FC and random issues with my phone I decided to return it to factory state, I flash the stock image from the Clockwork app and ever since I have no service. I let the phone go through the update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 via wifi and had the same issue. I tried to manually flash the latest AT&T radio with no luck. My phone is now flashed the stock GRj22 Rom and baseband KD1 and I still show no signal please help!

I have a Nexus s with 4.0.3 flashed via bootloader.How can i downgrade to 2.3.x without root,cwm or debug(cause it isn't working) ?
i've tried several methods but none of them worked(Odin,Heimdall)
They all requires me to enter download mode with debug enabled.My debug mode is enabled but as far as i read on xda,the degub is not working in this version of ICS.
my question is : how can i downgrade to ANY firmware from this ICS version
P.S. Entering recovery mode is not an option...the phone simpli enters in a recovery/download mode - loop and keeps restarting.
Please respond fast.10x
The way I did it was to download Clockwork Mod app and scroll down to where it says stock... then 2.3.3. Once u flash that you'll lose root and an update to 2.3.x will be prompted to ya. If it doesn't then Google (Download) 2.3.4(x) and manually update. What model do u have btw?
- Google
You need to root is the basic moral here. Nothing else is really worth the effort of getting it done.
Hi
If the procedure for the nexus is the same as it is for the S2.
It should be straight forward.
Download your ROM, if its Orange you want here is a good link, I used it myself today:
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/02...-i9100p-firmware-updates-list-and-stock-roms/
The ROM I used was the NON WIPE type - I9100BVKJ4_I9100ORAKJ4_ORA
I include a picture of what I did.
I was initially on a custom ICS 4.0.3 XXLPH and have gone back to Orange stock rom.
Load the integrated Rom just into the PDA window - connect your phone in download mode and start, and that should be it!
Don't check re-partition or anything else.
Keep trying it will work.
I also had an initial prob whereby I installed the wrong kernel and the phone screen was messed up and seemed to be bricked and to get it back I loaded odin up.
Put phone in download mode.
Checked re-partition - unchecked 'auto reboot and f.reset'
Used a PIT (partition file)
Used a kernel file suitable for the S2 in the PDA window and pressed 'start'
This seems to have repartitioned and wiped the mistake and unbricked the phone.
This loaded and the phone booted - no messed screen.
Then I continued to accomplish the ROM switch over.

Don't do this. The method for the Nexus S is definitely NOT the same as the SGS2, or even the SGS. Although it may be possible to use Odin or Heimdall, it is not recommended. We already have enough freedom to do as we please.
I thought all android / samsung phones would follow the same procedure for flashing new roms or unbricking via Odin?
Kies is useless for updating as we all know.
So what other methods beside Odin or Heimdall can be used on the samsung nexus?
Cheers for clarifying though, I was only tying to be helpful

i've just downgraded to 2.3.2 i used the rom wiper from bm and then simply flashed the oxygen rom over it
the only way and easily is odin.just go to downloading.make sure to download the correct modem ,baseband and needed files by cheking your nexus s version.ex.i9020t,i9023 .there are not the same version,and will use different modem,baseband ...
I also want to downgrade from ics to gingerbread too, by pure luck i managed to upgrade to ics (i'm completely new to this) but having had this on my phone for awhile, I want to return to gingerbread...
I'm currently grabbing kernel_I9100xwkj3 (couldnt find xwkj1 anywhere)
and
gt-i9100_o2i_i9100xwkj1_i9100o2ik11_i9100xxk14
to use with odin?
question is... is this all i need and is there anything i need to be aware of?
You need to make use of fastboot and flash the stock GB rom from factory images provided by google, then you can flash cwm and then flash any rom you want
it is because cwm can flash roms with android version up but not down means that you can flash 4.1 if u have 4.0.4 but if you are on 4.0.4 then you cannot flash 2.3.x
Hope it helps
Got the Nexus S. I checked and the ICS 4.0.4 firmware was ready to be downloaded. 129.4MB.
It downloaded, and it restarting to install, then the android alien, and the yellow exclamation point with the triangle was on the screen. The phone rebooted, but the ICS software didnt' install.
Phone rebooted, and 2.3.4 is still on the phone. It says there are no software updates available now. Whats going on?
Are you rooted or do you have a custom rom installed? Either way, flash to stock 2.3.6 then you should get the 4.0.4 update and it'll install fine.

The phone isn't rooted, and its the standard ROM that came with the phone. The phone have to be on the cellular network? I downloaded the firmware using wifi, with no SIM card in the phone.
It shows the following:
Android 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9020XXKD1
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected] #1
Build number: grj22-copyright 2011 bstarrs
If you look around (google) there are places where you can download the ROM and install it manually without having to be rooted.
you can do it manually like the post above suggests or if you want to do it automatically, I believe you have to be on 2.3.6 first, then it should update to 4.0.4 as I don't believe there is a clean update from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4. I have t-mobile and my nexus was on 2.3.4 when I took it out of the box but as soon as I turned it on, it upgraded to 2.3.6, then after a few weeks it upgraded to 4.0.4.
Now my was is longer than the post above but either way I think you'll have to root your phone in order to flash either 2.3.6 or 4.0.4.
I had previously ran some custom ROMs (Cyanogen, etc) on my G2x, but this past year I had gone back to the stock 2.3.4 ROM. I did leave my phone rooted.
Recently I had decided to give my phone to someone else and wanted to do a factory reset to get rid of my info.
I followed the steps on the T-Mobile support site.
I held down on the volume while turning it on.
After a second I got the "S/W Upgrade" screen.
I left my phone alone for a while, but the screen never went away. After unhooking it my phone seemed bricked.
I followed the following guide to fix it and it restored my phone to 2.3.3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
The phone seemed to work fine, but all of a sudden I started hearing clicking.
I decided to try to update to 2.3.4, but my phone is a refurbished phone and won't do the OTA update.
I downloaded the LG driver and tool to try to update, but it said my phone already had the latest update. It detects my software version as V21Y when it's actually V21e.
Here is more of my phone info.
Model number:
LG-P999DW
Android version:
2.3.3
Baseband version:
M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 11 2012 10:00:00]MP:TRUGLE_08.09.02R_MDM
Kernel version:
2.6.32.9
Build number:
GRI40
Software version:
LG-P999-V21e
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Flash this in CWM to fix the audio: http://www.mediafire.com/?8spjkaknyg5bd30
You have the 2.3.3 software installed which doesn't have the audio files working for the baseband that comes with the 2.3.4 update

Hey. Thanks for the reply.
Is there a way just to flash a working 2.3.4 rom?
Also, when I install this fix, do I just keep the files zipped and keep it at the root of my sd card when I run CWM?
I've been following step-by-steps so my grasp of the flashing process is tenuous at best.
Yes just pick select zip from external sd and flash away.
