Question about new update - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you have to completely return to stock to update to the new 2.3.7, as in if you want to keep all your original apps, homescreens, and all that like it would if you would just do the OTA update? or can you just OEM lock your phone then do the update and then unlock and reinstall recovery?

i just cleared cache/davlik and installed the new stock rooted from pete.

Really depends what Rom he running. If he's running a rooted stock rom, then yeah cache and d.cache

Can someone point me in the right direction..I need the stock 2.3.4 rom please..searched but don't know which one to download..nexus s on T-Mobile USA..thx in advance..!!!

I don't think there is a full 2.3.4 flashable full ROM. But there is 2.3.3 stock ROM, and if you flash it you will get 2.3.4 update OTA within like 10 minutes.

Do a full wipe and flash in ClockworkMod Recovery just like any other ROM.

You have to wipe. You can always reflash recovery if you need to.

So just root again, it takes like 2 minutes. There are several easy guides for root here. Do you need my help or can you follow one of the guides?
I suggest you follow one of the guides and if you have trouble then ask me and I will help you.

[Q] question about cm7 roms?

I am using samsung Vibrant. I saw a post for a new cm7 tron rom posted today. I wanted to ask if you have to do anything special to flash this rom? There are no instructions. Is there anything special to flash, or just use clock work recovery,
and wipe first, then flash rom, then wipe cashe, then wipe davik, fix permissions is the way I flash all roms .
Thanks
You will get more responses if you post this in the vibrant forum

just wipe data,system,boot,cache,dalivik install the rom then gapps its pretty much the same process on any phone.
Also cyanogenmod should have a wiki if it supports your phone.

Just make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed... and be sure to wipe everything before you install... Also, fix permissions after it's installed.
Ok so I don't need to upgrade to stilick gingerbread? And I'm sorry but what do you mean by permissions? Thanks alot

No, not unless you want the new baseband because I've yet to see a easy to apply it without the update. Could be wrong. And that's for you to decide, but the the baseband improved signal and gps response on my phone.

[Q] How do I update CM7?

Hey, sorry if this is a noob question, but I installed the Infuse CM7 ROM on my phone a few days ago. Now that there is an update out, how am I supposed to update my ROM without losing my data?

You might want to post in the forum for your phone. Right now, the SGS4G doesn't support any JB ROMs.
Is this your Nexus ROM?
Yeah it is

It keeps saying error in e sdcard/whatever ROM.zip status 0 installation aborted

If you're trying to install that ROM from a Nexus on an SGS4G, you're unlikely to succeed in anything but soft-bricking your phone.
If you're trying to install on a Nexus, you'll find more people with a Nexus in the Nexus forums.
I have nexus s 4g is this not the forum for it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
This is the "Samsung Galaxy S 4G" section of XDA -- for a phone primarily distributed by T-Mobile. I believe you want the Nexus forums where you found that ROM.
thread closed. wrong device.
