I'm VERY interested to know if this stops the OP's freezing issue ... please update.

Moved to Q&A.

i installed the 2.3.2 and the problem is still here
the problem start 2 weeks ago when i run stock 2.3.3,i tried 2.3.2,cm7,miui
nothing helps!

Thanks for the update. Am I right that the freezing problem only started after upgrading to 2.3.3?

not quite,
i runned 2.3.3 for almost a month and only after that it begin to freez.
it really strange, seems like there is no obvious characteristic for this issue.
did you contact google/samsung?

I don't have a Nexus S so I'm not actually experiencing the problem. It's a phone I will be getting soon but I am worried about all these freezing problems so trying to get to te bottom of it.
Basically, if the problem is with 2.3.3 (which seems likely), assuming my Nexus S arrives with an earlier version I will not upgrade OTA - that's IF this is the problem.
Still can't be sure though if this is the cause of the freezing, just seems odd people are only reporting the problem lately when the phone has been out months.

[Solved] Problem updating new OTA

Hi guys
I've just recieved the new security update from HTC, but when I try to install it the phone shuts down, and a white triangle with an ! mark and a little droid man standing by it apears and nothing happens. The only way I can turn the phone back off to reboot is by removing the battery.
Have any of you experienced problems with the new OTA?
My phone is rooted, but with stock ROM and nothing other than the stock font has been changed on the phone, so I can see emoji characters.
I've also tried to download the update a few times, to make sure I didn't download a currupt file or something, but it doesn't help either.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Well I found out that I could boot with CWM Recovery and force install of the OTA from the download folder problem fixed!

hey how can i get this update to download it. im`
s-off rooted but i dont have the stock rom. by updating this update i will lose my root?
can i root back like i did?

I doubt you can get the update when you have a custom ROM.

SNS wont update

Hey fellows.
So I wanted to try a custom ROM for my SNS, so I rooted it with this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwe4sWH67dk
And since I'm completly green in all this root thing, I didnt manage to get a custom ROM on my device. So I just stayed with stock android and a launcher, and to be fair, I dont need any more than that.
Then the 2.3.6 OTA update came and I wanted to install that, so I hit "Install" and my phone rebooted. Come to the Google logo with the padlock on the button... and frooze (have to remove battery to restart my phone). Nothing I have done can help it, I tryed factory reset, nothing (get stuck on the same screen again)!
So I looked around the SNS topics in here, and frankly, I can't fix it! I read that locking the bootloader would probably help it. So I installed drivers for my device on my computer, and tryed to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875630 since it seemed fairly easy. But I cant make it work.
My phone version number is GRJ22 and my phone lock state is unlocked.
WHAT DO I DO? Remember, I'm completly green, so cut it into small pieces would be nice!
Hope that there is some helpfull sole out there that can help

I had a similar issue some time ago and I think I can help you. In my case, I had removed some system apps. I removed books and talk, and it couldn't update because the recovery didn't find these apps to update them. Also, if you don't have the stock recovery, but clockwork instead I think it will not work. You can find in the General section of this Nexus S forum links with the official updates zips. Download one of these and then flash it in recovery(stock or clockwork). Copy the zip to the USB storage and in recovery select 'flash update from usb storage' and select the downloaded zip. Personally, I downloaded the GRJ22 and flashed it, so I can have a clean and upgradeable GRJ22. Then I updated using the incorporated update tool from google OTA to GRK39F. It is better to do a factory reset before you flash the zip with the rom. Sorry for the messy explanation hope this helps. GL

Hmm, I downloaded the GRJ22 fitting me device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664, placed it on the SDcard and tryed to go to recovery in fastboot, then the same thing happend again :/ (If that was what you meant)
I installed ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager, then I installed the downloaded file on my device. Now I'm running 2.3.6 :O Thanks for the help dude!

[Q] Nexus S Reverse Update

Hey guys first topic on this forum hope i posted in the right area.
I recently brought a unlocked Nexus S (9023) and downloaded the official 4.0.3 update manually from google and copied to internal hard drive and installed it.
I really dont like the new android version it is laggy and is draining the battery rapidly!
I have tried to re install 2.3.6 but cant because when I try to boot into recovery it fails showing a dead android figure??.
Please help!!!!

I have the same problem but do not want to down date. Just want a solution to the blank recovery screen

I think if you hold up a torch you will be able to read text .

[Q] [XOOM 2] Help needed with Safestrap 3.12

Hello,
I have rooted my Xoom 2 ME and installed Safestrap 3.12 as explained here.
Apparently something went wrong after I tried to restore a backup to the Stock ROM Slot. I now have the Blue (instead of Red) Motorola Logo when I boot, followed by error messages telling me the "UI System" and "Configure" Applications have stopped.
Trying to solve the problem, I did a factory reset from the Stock Recovery Boot and now I see that I have lost all my Safestrap Backups and Slots.
So I have no backups to restore and no other Slots than the Stock ROM, which I cannot boot.
What are my options ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A quick update on this
I'm having help form runandhide05 who is amazingly kind with me, answering all my questions in PM.
I have a Wi-Fi only 8.2 Xoom 2 bought in France so I have flashed this ROM : 0.268.4.MZ607.Retail.en.FR.
I could boot but when I tried to update OTA it failed. It downloads, start updating and fails so I am stuck in 3.2.2.
Also whenever I reach the page of an application in the Android Market, the Android Market quits.
Finally adb doesn't see my device.
I've tried flashing another ROM with the same result : 0.281.8.MZ607.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
All this is very new to me, I feel like I have learned a lot in 24 ours but I really have no idea were to go to solve this and feel like I am asking a lot to runandhide05 at the moment so if anyone as "qualified" as him had any idea to help it would be amazing.
… again runandhide05, thank you so much for all your help so far.

Problem solved !
The update succeeded when done via the "Motorola Device Manager" on PC.
After that I could use Google Play without it to quit and adb saw my device again.
I re-rooted and re-installed Safestrap with no troubles.
