I am trying to install the official ICS update to my Nexus S.
I have done a factory reset on the phone and the specs are:
Android Version 2.3.6
Build : GRK39F
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
When I try to update it it says it failed verification and aborts.
I downloaded what i believe is the official update file and moved it to the internal storage without modifying it at all.
any body have any ideas ?
Thanks In Advance

I have tried the links posted in the forum to update my Nexus S but I always get some kind of error.
I own a Nexus S from T-mobile 9020t. I have previously upgraded manually from build GRH78C to GRI40. Currently my phone info states it is on GRI40 baseband JK8. I tried the GRI40 to GRJ22 update file but i get "status 7" error message while updating. I have never rooted my phone and I want to leave my phone unrooted and have the update.
If you know about any such issues and how to resolve it, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi !
i just bought a used samsung galaxy nexus s . When i bought the phone its Android version was 2.3.1 and build was GRH78. I search alot but every time save the update file in SD card and run it from the recovery menu some error used to appear. How after alot of search on the internet i found one update file which was from GRH78 (Android 2.3.1) to GRH78C (Android 2.3.2). This upgrade was successful.
But now again i am searching for the upgrade file to update my phone to Android 4.0.4 . I found update file from GRH78c to latest build but none of them is working on my phone.

Is it unlocked? Rooted?
Yes, your device is completely capable of flashing and upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) and even Jelly Bean (4.1.2).
While there are two ways to do that but since you already mentioned that you want to use Custom ROMs available on net, then this guide is the solution to it.
It will help you unlock your bootloader and Install a custom Recovery which in turn will enable you to flash custom ROMs on your device.
You can choose a Custom ROM which meets your requirements available here in Nexus S Android Development Section.
Hi,
I'm new with HTC after many years of using Samsung phones so I need your help. As much as I could learn from reading different threads I have S3 variant, Cid HTC_102 (Germany) and 4.0.3 version of android. Thing that bathers me is that I didn't receive OTA 4.0.4 when everybody started to receive 4.1.1. I did not root yet, it is completely stock. I found a file for my Cid for 4.0.4: (PJ4020000_OTA_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100-1.11.401.110_release_2865916) so I know that there is an update but I just didn't receive it.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
Main problem is that I can't flash any new custom ROM as I have hboot 2.09 (all new thing for me to learn).
I am thinking of manually installing 4.0.4 firmware but I still don't know how. I found out that RUU is simple exe file but I don't know how this PJ* file works.
I would appreciate your help and any tips.
Thanks.
EDIT:
Software number: 1.11.401.110 Baseband version: 16.12.20.02u_16.05.20.16_m2
Is this RUU file correct for my device to install?:
-RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.15.401.100_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_286571_signed.exe
EDIT 2: Never mind, I learned it the hard way, by trying. Everything is ok now.
I would like to update my T-Mobile SGH-T869 currently running Android 3.2 Honeycomb baseband T869UVKJ2 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7. I installed the latest version of Kies on my Windows 7 PC. I then connect my device SGH-T869 to Kies running on my PC. I then get a message stating that "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies". Acoording to T-Mobile and Samsung, the only "official" way to update to ICS is via Kies. But Kies does not work with my current baseband T869UVKJ2. Apparently you need to be at T869UVKL2 in order to be able to use Kies to update to ICS baseband T869UVLG7.
I also went into Settings/About Device to see if there are any over the air update. However, Software Update shows "No update available".
I am aware of using Odin3_V3.07 to flash using the stock ICS 4.0.5 T869UVLG7 Firmware ROM. But I don't want to go down that route just yet. Are there any other safer methods to update my T-Mobile SGH-T869 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7?
Update: I just contact Samsung Live Chat. They are not aware of the Android 3.2 baseband T869UVKJ2 that is running on my T-Mobile SGH-T869. That may be the reason Kies does not allow me to update to ICS baseband T869UVLG7.

I successfully used Odin to flash my T-Mobile SGH-T869 to ICS baseband T869UVLG7. I am now running ICS 4.0.4. I don't know why it shows 4.0.4.
I hope that you are aware of "brick bug" that come with ICS?. If not - search the threads. If I knew, before I flash mine, I would keep the 3.2.
Does anyone have 3.2 repair files?
I tried 4.0 but it blocked.
I had my phone rooted up until last year and an issue with the battery happened and I had no choice but to send it in for a battery replacement. When I got the phone back it had the latest OS at that time installed and was of course no longer rooted. So now I had no way to go back to root and had to live with that but since then my phone would never update on it's own to the latest Baseband version: G920VVRS4CQA3
and Build number: MMB29K.G920VVRS4CQA3
The OTA update was disabled when I rooted it and so now I can't OTA update it.
What is the best way to just flat wipe the phone so that it loads the OS and can then do OTA updates or will I need to find a current original stock rom to download (I've had no luck, so many links are crap).
Can anyone help please?
If I understand correctly, I need to dl the latest version and security patch and use odin to install. Will that completely wipe my phone so the crippled OTA update will work?
