I do. the update has been pushed to rogers users already but for some reason I haven't gotten it. I installed 2.3.4 manually a while back cause the ota update failed. could that be the problem?

Yes but if your rooted don't install the update. There is a thread for rooted T-bolts with the update.

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

That is called recovery, and it is how updates get installed.

It was bought brand new. Some rumors say Cincinnati bell have something to stop the ota from successfully happening. If true or not I'm trying to find a way to do it without rooting etc..

The official ICS is already out?!
Also you can install OTA updates and keep root just install 'OTA RootKeeper' from the android market when you have successfully rooted your device
I didn't test it yet because I modded my stock rom too much and there wasn't an update >4.0.3 yet. But the app is from supercurio and will probably work well
you can flash a stock otA ICS 4.0.3 rom after rooting

No Signal

I had the non us version of the nexus s. It was stuck on 2.3.3. I dont recall where i got the update( I downloaded one from one of the threads on xda as there was no update available whenever I checked for ota) but I flashed it with 2.3.6. After that I received notifications for ics 4.0 then after applying that ota I got one for 4.0.4 I believe then one for jelly bean 4.1.2. Though all the updates went fine now I dont get signal on any network. When I look for manual network search it shows unknown network found and I cant connect. Could this be because I might have flashed a cdma version? If so how can i go back to stock 4.1.2 for the gsm model?

I will try it in a a few days as my cuz took the phone to a different city. Just a quick question should I go back to 2.3.3 stock? Or 4.1.2?

It's a preferred thing. I personally would go with ics, while a few swear that gb is faster & stable
