[q] nexus s 2.3.4 update

I have tried the links posted in the forum to update my Nexus S but I always get some kind of error.
I own a Nexus S from T-mobile 9020t. I have previously upgraded manually from build GRH78C to GRI40. Currently my phone info states it is on GRI40 baseband JK8. I tried the GRI40 to GRJ22 update file but i get "status 7" error message while updating. I have never rooted my phone and I want to leave my phone unrooted and have the update.
If you know about any such issues and how to resolve it, please let me know.
Thanks.

[Q] download just 1.53.531.16 update?

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone knew how or where I can download just the 1.53.531.16 update instead of full ROM?
I had to have my phone replaced and stuck on version 1.53.531.7 which won't update to anything.
Since I have everything already setup was trying not to have to reset with flashing the ruu file and not quite yet wanting yet the HTCdev unlock / void warranty yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
no one?
I realize this is an old post, but if you're still stuck, here is the link to the OTA.

Please Help! I Think Sprint's Recent Evo4G Update 5.07.651.1 Messed Up My Phone!

To make a really long story short, after Sprint's recent ota 5.07.651.1 (the update that came with the Sprint connections optimizer) was installed on my phone, I could no longer download or update ANY apps on the android/google play market while connected to 4G. Went to the Sprint store to get it fixed, they tried and failed, got a new replacement handset with ota 5.07.651.1 already installed, same exact issue. Reached the conclusion that the update screwed things up. Downloaded and tried to use this RUU file to revert back to the old build right before this one (4.67.651.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484240
This was unsuccesful as the error message it gave me said:
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
My hboot is 2.18.0001, is there a version of the above RUU file that is compatible with my bootloader version?

Droid Maxx Downgrade problems

So I'm trying to go through the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896
...to root my Droid Maxx. The problem is I got my phone from Verizon and the salesman told it to upgrade to the 4.4 OTA. I can't flash it back to 4.2.2 so I can root it. I have tried using RSD Lite with the 4.2.2 firmware version I found here (The 12.15.15 Obake that has the camera patch):
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4
Every time I try to flash it, it gives me a security check error about downgrading. Here's the exact error displayed on the phone:
Downgraded security version update gpt_main version failed preflash validation failed for gpt
This is the 4th device I have rooted, so I'm not a novice, but I wouldn't say I'm a pro either. Any help would be very nice.
@jcase If you can help me with this, I'll gladly donate $20 to your cause as I have used your root methods and exploits several times in the past.
I only post here because this is a new account and I can't post it anywhere else.
Thanks.
Downgrade is only possible with Moto X , not the Maxx/Mini/Ultra. Go read the ultra forums.

I have not updated. As I mentioned I am rooted and unlocked. Not sure what to do hence posted my question in the forum.

1. You don't have to worry about lock bootloader
2. Which Software version are you running? v10e, v10i or v10j?
3. If you update there is a way to downgrade cuz we have previews KDZ's
I am running version 10i,
I am guessing tmobile wants to upgrade me to v10j. Is there a flash able version for 10j that I can use?
Thanks

Ok, you can go here and update to the latest version v10j using @GameTheory. V10j Full update/pre-rooted/untouch TWRP.

dummy you can't update that way you must remove all traces of root which the app can't do use the KDZ
If you are rooted and it says system update DO NOT INSTALL IT... it will brick your phone
