How do I reinstall Android 2.3.4 from 2.4? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device: Nexus S
Carrier: Telus
Country / Language: Canada English
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): OS 2.4, Model: GT-I9020A
Build number: full_crespo-eng 2.4 GINGERBREAD 142 test-keys
My phone was sent in for service and returned with a version of android 2.4 with troubleshooting applications installed.
The problem now is I cannot access the android marketplace with the phone which means I cannot install anything.
I need to either reinstall android 2.3.4 or be able to access the marketplace
Thanks!

There are guides in the development section. You need to unlock the bootloader then flash a rom of your choosing.I would call them up and complain before you attempt that. You should get something for that inconvenience.

If it's anything like the instances of this that have come up before, it's just an earlier debug build bug of Gingerbread before it was versioned to 2.3.X

Android update

Does anyone have the leaked update file so I can download without having a data connection on my cell phone? I had to get the leaked update for my Asus but now they have the official on their site. Hoping someone has the att update file so I can do the same.

Here it is as it showed up in my /sdcard/Download/ directory, but I don't know how you can force it to update without going through the actual OTA process.

No. It is an edify type update that contains a PD98IMG type update inside (called firmware.zip).
Even though it is an edify type update, it won't install from recovery unless you hack out some of the ASSERT checks (since recovery doesn't have all the getprop values that a running system has).
Would it be possible to pull the information from the update part, and convert it to a hbkot update.
Just curious, if we were able to, id post it in the guide for easy reference.

How do you put the Inspire 4G into recovery mode? My Asus I can hold down the volume down key and power button to get a specific menu my Inspire doesn't.

You're doing it wrong somehow then because that is exactly how you do it on the Inspire. Make sure fastboot is off in the settings though (Settings->power->fast boot).

Not really. This update contains a number of "patch" files that use a method of updating files in-place by applying a patch that just replaces the parts of the file that changed. It's like a diff file is for text files, but it's binary. The only way I know of to apply these is through edify commands (or manually patching them on a PC first with bsdiff, see: http://linux.die.net/man/1/bsdiff).
I believe my phone may have been previously updated. What information lets you know it has?

Network/Signal Issue

Friend says he tried to root his g2x, now it's running 2.2.2 (which is a verison of andriod i'm not familiar with) and he has no signal and is unable to connect to any wireless network.
Also, when i search for networks, it pops up with both tmobile and att, but, as far as i know, the phone is not network unlocked.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Is he running a p990 rom on a p999 or vise versa? That would cause some issues...
Pin it to Win it.
I know very little about this phone, what kernel and build should it be running stock?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
He just has to make sure he's running the from for the right phone. If he's running a 2x rom on a g2x that can cause problems. Also might be a baseband issue? Not sure on that one as I never even bothered with 2.2.2 or don't know if they have 2.2.2 roms lol

Does his phone say T-Mobile on the top?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
yes it's a tmobile lg p999, but i'm not sure which rom he's running. from the research i've done, it looks like his baseband has been changed from what it was running stock. but i'm not entirely sure how to reset the baseband, he already did a factory reset, but the baseband remains altered. are there any other threads where i can find out how to reset the baseband?

Please go to Settings > About Phone and report back the following for us:
Android Version
Baseband Version
ROM version (mine is third from bottom, says CyanogenMod Version and then the build info under it)
If this is too confusing I can send a picture or the settings screen.
Android 2.2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9

That baseband is the March 2012 baseband. He needs to have 2.3.4 or another rom that supports the new baseband. Try loading up the newest cm7 and see what happens.

Help installing a ROM?

First of all, I am a noob when it comes to Android in general. So please forgive me if I posted in the wrong section of the forum or I didn't give enough information. now we got that out of the way...
Hello, I recently picked up the Pantech Burst from AT&T. It's a nice phone that's running Android Version 2.3.5. I rooted it within two weeks of getting it.
Because I rooted it, I want to now install a custom ROM. I've tried to follow some tutorials, but none of them seemed to help me. Each one I looked at told me to download ROM Manager and use the Clockworkflash Mod. When I tried to use it, it asked me to confirm my device on the list. However, my device wasn't on the list. I couldn't seem to find anything here, either. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487576
Is there anyway to do this without using this specific tool? Are there any alternatives?
A few more questions..
How do I know which ROM I can use on my phone?
Does it only matter which Android Version i'm using, and not the specific device?
Can somebody please introduce me to some good ROMs?
Just in case any of this information helps....
Model Number: PantechP9070
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: M9200B-SCAQCSZD-3.0.552116T 1 [Nov 15 2001 19:00:00]

OTA - over the air. That's a way of getting updates that come officially.
You can check for it under settings > about phone > software update.
It will ask you to download it ( will be around 300mb). Download it and say apply. It will reboot, do some crazy stuff and update the phone to ics. No data will be lost. Make sure you do it with a good amount of battery left.

Find the right file for your phone / region from this thread And flash it via RSD. Are you sure it isn't att? (Does it have the att logo on the body?) Cuz there are different files for that.
Instructions about RSD in this thread.

You should flash the correct files according to your region/phone . You shouldn't flash any other file.
so there's no way for me to upgrade to ics at all?

Here is where all the FXZ files are, and from what it looks like on this site, there is no ICS update for the LATM retail release:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
That being the case, there is really not much you can do, you can try one of the other non-att firmwares, but I am guessing that might be a bad idea, as it may hardbrick your phone, as we have seen that with the AT&T branded USA phones, when trying to flash non-supported firmware.
Sorry to say it, but none on of the latin america phones appear to have support for firmware after 2.3.6.
