Hey guys first topic on this forum hope i posted in the right area.
I recently brought a unlocked Nexus S (9023) and downloaded the official 4.0.3 update manually from google and copied to internal hard drive and installed it.
I really dont like the new android version it is laggy and is draining the battery rapidly!
I have tried to re install 2.3.6 but cant because when I try to boot into recovery it fails showing a dead android figure??.
Please help!!!!
I have the same problem but do not want to down date. Just want a solution to the blank recovery screen

Hello,
I received a notification that 2.3.4 update available for my phone (Unbranded bought from Amazon.co.uk, I am on o2 and rooted). I tried to download that update and tried install it but it always stuck on startup showing error icon (Exclamation mark and Android green guy logo).
But when I took the battery out and put back in it works… showing old 2.3.3 not the new version.
I factory reset it but still same issue.
Anyone having same issue or solution.
Before anyone start slamming me… I tried to search it but unable to find that particular issue resolution.
Please HELP.
Thanks

Wrong section.
Make sure you're on stock recovery.
Sorry, I thought this is the right section.
Also can you please explain a little bit more what is stock recovery?
Thanks
MOD can you please move to correct section. Thanks

I think this is your problem. You can not install the update if you are rooted.
To the OP:
If you don't mind losing your data (backup with Titanium Backup as a precaution) just flash the 1.45.401.2 RUU - gives you 2.3.4 and then you can just root again and restore your data if you did decide to back it up first
Hi guys
I've just recieved the new security update from HTC, but when I try to install it the phone shuts down, and a white triangle with an ! mark and a little droid man standing by it apears and nothing happens. The only way I can turn the phone back off to reboot is by removing the battery.
Have any of you experienced problems with the new OTA?
My phone is rooted, but with stock ROM and nothing other than the stock font has been changed on the phone, so I can see emoji characters.
I've also tried to download the update a few times, to make sure I didn't download a currupt file or something, but it doesn't help either.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Well I found out that I could boot with CWM Recovery and force install of the OTA from the download folder problem fixed!
hey how can i get this update to download it. im`
s-off rooted but i dont have the stock rom. by updating this update i will lose my root?
can i root back like i did?
I doubt you can get the update when you have a custom ROM.
Hey fellows.
So I wanted to try a custom ROM for my SNS, so I rooted it with this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwe4sWH67dk
And since I'm completly green in all this root thing, I didnt manage to get a custom ROM on my device. So I just stayed with stock android and a launcher, and to be fair, I dont need any more than that.
Then the 2.3.6 OTA update came and I wanted to install that, so I hit "Install" and my phone rebooted. Come to the Google logo with the padlock on the button... and frooze (have to remove battery to restart my phone). Nothing I have done can help it, I tryed factory reset, nothing (get stuck on the same screen again)!
So I looked around the SNS topics in here, and frankly, I can't fix it! I read that locking the bootloader would probably help it. So I installed drivers for my device on my computer, and tryed to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875630 since it seemed fairly easy. But I cant make it work.
My phone version number is GRJ22 and my phone lock state is unlocked.
WHAT DO I DO? Remember, I'm completly green, so cut it into small pieces would be nice!
Hope that there is some helpfull sole out there that can help

I had a similar issue some time ago and I think I can help you. In my case, I had removed some system apps. I removed books and talk, and it couldn't update because the recovery didn't find these apps to update them. Also, if you don't have the stock recovery, but clockwork instead I think it will not work. You can find in the General section of this Nexus S forum links with the official updates zips. Download one of these and then flash it in recovery(stock or clockwork). Copy the zip to the USB storage and in recovery select 'flash update from usb storage' and select the downloaded zip. Personally, I downloaded the GRJ22 and flashed it, so I can have a clean and upgradeable GRJ22. Then I updated using the incorporated update tool from google OTA to GRK39F. It is better to do a factory reset before you flash the zip with the rom. Sorry for the messy explanation hope this helps. GL
Hmm, I downloaded the GRJ22 fitting me device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664, placed it on the SDcard and tryed to go to recovery in fastboot, then the same thing happend again :/ (If that was what you meant)
I installed ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager, then I installed the downloaded file on my device. Now I'm running 2.3.6 :O Thanks for the help dude!
Hello every one on this forum, I need your help regarding my Samsung Galaxy note GT N7000, I woke up yesterday to find out that my phone need some update and i press ok and I went to the bathroom to get ready for work and by the time i came back my phone as stop working completely and I tried to reboot it but to no avail, I need your help pls.
Thanks
were you on gingerbread and what about root? any custom rom? can you still get into recovery? Or did you have clockwork mod? i wonder if it was upgrading to ICS and your phone died? Just some things that might help narrow down a bit.
Galaxy Note not booting after firmware update
Hi,
The same thing happened to me today. My phone indicated that an update was required. When I proceeded to install, the phone is stuck at the SAMSUNG logo.
My phone is not rooted. About a few weeks ago I had upgraded from GB to ICS.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Facing the same problem
Hi all,
I am facing the same problem since this morning. I have not rooted my phone. Recently I upgraded my Galaxy Note from Gingerbread to ICS 4.0.3. This morning, I upgraded the firmware, as I had done this in the past as well, I didn't think it may lead to any problem. But since then, the phone starts and shows Samsung prompt. Is it because of any bug in the latest update? Does anyone know what to do in this situation?
I am facing the same problem, the Samsung logo keeps glowing off and on after the boot chime plays.
Does any one have any clue about this? I think its happening to India users who got this update.
Edit: I am unable to go into the recovery screen as well. The green droid shows, some loading happens(tries to?) in the bar below and the screen turns off and if I keep holding the buttons the same cycle repeats. Leaving them at any point leads to the Samsung glowing logo and no boot!
Another one bites the dust
Faced the same problem yesterday...running around to get my contactsrescued...even the authorized service centres are only assuring flashing it -0 as if it is a big obligation
Need someone to access dram... jtag to a usb mode...going to try at heera panna & manish market tomoro - both in Mumbai
Lts c
If anyone can help - kindly upload post
Found the solution!!!
Hi Guys, I've found the solution.
Edit: Since, I received queries from many people, I would like to know from the advanced/experienced members if the solution I am suggesting is absolutely right or not, and if it could lead to any problem. My phone is working fine, I haven't lost any data.
The solution:
1. Download the stable ICS version released in May.
2. Install it manually using the ODIN settings.
Guys, please help us out, let us know your opinion.
add me to list
using just the stock rom
this update flashed on the notification and after installation doesnt go beyond the
boot screen

Goophone Y5 Android 4.1.5
Hi guys,
It's my first post here. I ordered a Goophone Y5 from androidforcheap last December 26th, and just received the unit last January 7. I went on to root it right away, trying to follow instructions I found on youtube. Once rooted, I tried to flash the phone with WhiteTiger's V3 ROM, but the Flash Tool always says Incorrect Scatter Format. Thinking that I could just copy and paste all apps, I went on and moved all apps from WhiteTiger's ROM to my Apps folder using ES File Explorer. To make the story short, this proved to be a wrong move as I think most apps were overwritten with WhiteTiger's ROM apps. As such, everytime I reboot the phone, Superuser, along with some other apps like igallery and world clock crash and do not work. I have to re-install all these crashed apps using ES File Explorer everytime. Running in to this trouble, that's the only time I though of running an Antutu test. This is also the only time that I find out that the phone was running on Android 4.1.5.
Anyway, basically, my question is, could there be a way to return the phone back to original settings and apps? I tried the reset option on the phone's General Settings, but it never got back to the state it was in when I first got it.
I hope you guys can help me so I would not have wasted money on this phone. I know it was also a wrong move to get too excited about installing apps without really researching first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Has anyone bought a Goophone Y5 between December 2012 to January 2013? Does your version have Android 4.1.5? Could you please send me stock apps for this? Thanks!
I got googleplay working
Hi!
There is a way to get playstore working.
To get this working you will need some files to be replaced with the ones that are present on the phone.
First you will need to root your phone! There is a post on XDA giving instructions how to update the phone with the last firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729056
After you flash the phone with the last firmware it will be already rooted.
To get the Playstore working you will need to copy some apk's to /system/apps/.
To copy this files into the folder you will need a file explorer (ES File Manager) for example.
Some of the apk's are:
Vending.apk
Googlesync.apk
and some more.
I've a goophone y5 bought on thecheapchoice.com. They have good prices and a very good service.
My goophone didn't have PlayStore and some apps were in chinese. I've edited some apk's and i got everything working.
I recommend this phone to everyone who wants an iphone styled phone running android software.
It is a fast phone with a good camera, the gps works well as the wifi. The retina screen got me amazed by its quality. This is not a cheap clone as we see in other places. It is very well made and have exactly the same structure, screen and battery as the iphone 4s. They are so equal that you can replace goophone parts with an original iphone 4s.
I'll try to upload all the files you need into this post today.
Regards,
