I currently have a 19020T Nexus S running MIUI running build number MIUI-109020 on GB 2.3.5. How exactly do I get to the official ICS from Google?
I read somewhere that you need to flash to stock GB and then flash the official ICS ROM. How do I flash back to stock from MIUI? Sorry If this is kind of a noob question :\
I check on ROM manager and I have a backup of stock GB from 3 months ago. Should I restore to that?
you can directly upgrade to ice cream sandwich by flashing the full 4.0.3 rom package from recovery mode don't forget to wipe data and cache partitions to avoid issues
Can I flash it from ROM manager?
You can but it is generally better to do it all via recovery manually. Its not hard at all.

Hello,
I have a Nexus S phone with Honity15 kernel, and rock solid at 1500. With stock ROM.
But now I have tried to install the update to 2.3.4 and I have had a update check error.
I think that the reason is that the installer detects a modification in the stock Android installation. Is this true?
Can I download the sotck kernel again from anywhere?
I have a nand backup but, if I restore I will loose all the change that I have done it.
Thx for all.
Nobody knows is I can install the stock 2.3.3 kernel in the nexus s without restore the full nand backup?
Thank you
no i dear my friend
hey
I'd like to know whether it is possible to update your custom rom: for example I have Nextgen 2.1 and want to update to 2.2 but when I flash it everything is deleted. Is there an option to only update it and not flashing it?

I found This topicon how to get back to stock recovery. My question is wouldn't you have to be on stock rom and the stock hboot for the OTA to work? or the HTCinstaller dosen't car just as long as the stock recovery is still intact?
I dont see the point, but thats just me.
New update comes out =new custom rom (stock or not stock) on xda
just backup important data before flash. some roms dont require a wipe if u r coming from the same rom 1 version under.
check rom threads. IMO no need for OTA.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
I have rooted Neo V Gingerbread. I am going to unlock the bootloader so that I can flash custom ROM like MIUI or Paranoid Android.
I got 2 questions
1) Is Unlocking Bootloader by official technique is safe?
2) Can I directly go from Gingerbread to Jellybean? Or do I have to factory reset my phone first(Have backed up my ROM using CWM), then go to ICS first and then flash Jellybean ROM?
Help a Noob please! Thnx

1) It usually is, but you're doing it at your own risk. Only continue if you know what you're doing.
2) I think you can go to it directly, though I'm not 100% sure.
