[Q] Installing ICS 4.0.3 on Nexus S failed - General Questions and Answers

Reverted to stock 2.3.6 (locked) and flashed update.zip (used VQ8PQk_V.zip) using 3e. I followed tutorial on the web.
Install aborted - signature certification failed. Should I flash the 4.0.3
using CWM instead? Thanks.

I think so ,you must flash the 4.0.3

Also did u rename the file to "update? Dont name it update.zip bc it will show as update.zip.zip

HELP
i have the same problem, just keeps saying installation aborted. I have tried like 5 different ICS rom downloads and none have worked. I have a Nexus S on Rogers

Did u downgrade to 2.3.3 then install the 2.3.6 ota? U need to do that first before flashing ics ota.

it's not the same, i tried and everytime i do it i get the ok message from the recovery (install ok, enjoy) and when i restart my phone, is not rooted
Are you installing the Superuser zip file before rebooting the phone? Just installing recovery alone won't do it!
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash Recovery - DO NOT REBOOT PHONE YET
3) Install Superuser zip file from storage on the phone
4) Reboot

Problems updating OTA 2.3.4

I want to update my nexus s to 2.3.4
I'm currently on stock 2.3.3, build number GRI40, baseband I9020XXB1. Rooted and unlocked bootloader.
My phone keeps trying to update ota - 12mb file but the update fails and gets stuck on a triangle with exclamation mark in it. I've tried booting into clockworkmod recovery and apply update from SD card but still it fails.
Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

if you want to update to 2.3.4 via OTA,you have to run stock rom,otherwise update will be fail
There is a sticky in the general forum: 2.3.4 OTA guide. the first post has a link to a full rom that should do the trick

Moving from ICS Alpha11 to Official?

Hi,
I'm currently using Koush's ICS Alpha 11, I've downloaded the official 4.0.3 version and tried to rename it "update.zip" and flash but it fails.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Did you go back to stock 2.3.6 and flash in stock recovery
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
Oh, so I should download this:
Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
... rename it to update.zip and then back into CWR and then ICS?
Download stock 2.3.6 and flash it you will loose clockwork mod.you have to do this to apply the official
Rename it to update.zip
In fastboot mode go to recovery and select it with your power button
When you see the android question mark hold up and power again
Choose apply update.zip and bam your done
I forgot get voodoo ota root keeper from the market and run it before flashing the stock rom
Good luck and keep ne posted

Can't seem to find FULL stock 2.3.6 for nexus S, some links floating around the web are just the update packs (around 12mb), not full.

There's a stickied post right here on the forums (this forum, in fact). It has every OTA released.

You do not need to go back to stock recovery. Do it all from cwm recovery.
Full wipe and flash the 2.3.6 from
Flash the ota file.
Reboot. The reboot into the os will flash the stock recovery

Hey guys, I'm in a similar situation too, I'm on Carbon ROM and I was waiting for a Stock update. So is there any way that I can update and keep the root? Because I think when I'll flash the stock 2.3.6, I'll lose root.
ok so I went back to 2.3.6 stock, and susprisingly I didn't lose my root/cwr or anything, then I went into recovery again and tried installing update.zip (which is ICS official stock) but the same error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
When you go back to stock you need to do a wipe.

I did wipe partition as well as cache. let me try again though.
Format everything but sdcard. Flash the official 2.3.6 T-Mobile rom. Flash the official ota update for said rom and your good. You would have to have a the 9020t model of course

How do I format? from PC? delete everything from the mounted usb volume?
From cwm recovery. Mounts and storage. Just DONT format your sdcard. Your backups are there.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I don't have clockwork anymore. I see limited options now, and the title on top is "Android System Recovery <3e>", but I do see an unlock icon when the phone boots.
You need to reflash clockwork from fastboot. When you load a stock os it overwrites the recovery
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I have no clue how I did it couple months back, can you please point me to a guide that shows how to flash cwr on 2.3.6? many thanks
What rom that is on the phone does not matter . You just need to get your phone recognized on a computer with fastboot. Then flash the recovery from there. Or just boot the recovery directly from fastboot.

Installing Superuser VIA ClockWorkMod

When Trying to install Superuser using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526)
It gives me an error (status 0) and aborts installation
I am running Stock ICS 4.0.4 (the thread says rooting for 2.3.5 2.3.6 But i was told 4.0.4 should work too)
Any help is great thanks!
Edit : Never mind apperently just trying over and over got it to work :s Says it installed successfully, sorry about the post!
Download the SU files again. Sounds pike a bad download. Also if the zip is for GB it won't flash on ICS because the SU apk is not compatible.

he's new but he knows his stuff, almost certainly a corrupt zip. If not, go into mounts and storage and make sure system partition is mounted

I had the same issue when trying to root. Download new Superuser file and new su binary file. You may have to flash each multiple times before they catch. I flashed both twice before they succeeded. Flash the Superuser first and then the su binary. Hope this helps.
Note: I did this for stock 2.3.6 but the process should be the same
It took 3 times to root the original leak

What boot.img did you replace in the first place for the 2.3.5 fxz?? And, why? What instructions did you follow? Also, probably the reason why it failed the first time is because your md5 sums in that .xml you linked do not match the ones from the original "replace.zip" found here - which contains all the necessary files from 2.3.6 and the proper .xml - look under this heading:
How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And, if you weren't using those replace files in the first place, then that is a big issue..
Another question, why not just use the 2.3.6 fxz in the first place? It's been available for a while now..
Not sure about your next steps.. could depend on what boot.img you flashed.. maybe try the full 2.3.6 fxz package (?) - see here
affter the boot.img of stock rom dint work... and after the replace files dint work.. i have replaced boot.img from
http://www.mediafire.com/?y4335f29j6qbq8y
though...thanks for the 2.3.6 stock link....
welll.... i will update you once im finished with downloading 2.3.6 and flashing it....
Used 2.3.6 fxz but failed to flash. Flash process failed at 3/19step.
"mbmloader.bin"
You must need to patch the fxz and you'll be fine.
