when i got my phone it was on 2.3.4 and i followd this guide
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/

Thank you for your Reply.. But the guides is all about 2.3.3, I am just afraid that ill brick my phone if i mess up something.
So can i just ignore the 2.3.3 part..and just think tht its the guide for 2.3.4?

I followed this guide:

The root process for the nexus s is universal. It doesn't matter what version you're running on. What matters is your phone model.

[Q] Flashing 2.3.5 on galaxy s2

Hey guys! I need some help from the community.
I want to flash 2.3.5 firmware on my s2, but I have a few questions... I live in Austria and I am on Tmobile. I flashed a 2.3.4 on it, so I partially de-branded the phone. However, I would like to flash 2.3.5 but it is not yet released for austria. I see there is a Polish version, but can I flash that to mine? If I do, will I lose network settings? Can someone give me a short guide on how to do this? I am confused on what does the CSC file do? Can I just flash the PDA, and the PHONE, without flashing CSC?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mick

Get yourself the frankenstein version from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Choose one that will be "non-wipe" and follow normal odin flash instructions, flashing pda only.

thank you man I think I'm just gonna wait for android icecream sandwich to come out... this is not worth upgrading...

Just flash the official ICS with Odin. Then re-root when your done.
P.S if you phone hangs at the att boot animation after flashing the official ICS with Odin just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache:thumbup:

You could flash CMW via odin and then flash the official ICS in mohan's post. You phone should still be rooted after this.

Hi,
Yes there is a CM 9/10 for the phone. I have actually installed CM9 on my phone. I wouldn't advise using CM10 yet because some bugs are still being worked out but i'm not discouraging you from trying =). To install it here are the instructions:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
That website has everything you need. Also if anything goes wrong there is a method to restore the original firmware. If you need any more help reply and i'll help out =)
Best of Luck!

hahahaha to lazy to search
argh. here is the method ur about to request/Q.1 answer : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1
Q.1 follow the link that i gave it to you and it will give you not just root but a kernel and BML roms installation guide
Q.2 installing CWM to latest? ahm idunno about it? "I" its possible but twrp is possible ..
Q.3 we dont have stable cyanoge. but barebone i (think that is the name) a gingerbread BML? roms that, that is stable..

And if you're worried about it since it's not your phone, you can at least get to official GB through Kies without voiding the warranty... if you're doing stuff from here you can be sure that the warranty is shot. The Kies one you get straight from T-Mo or Samsung, so if it hoses (and the phone is still under replacement protection) they should cover it. Here... it's more complicated.

the TRUTH is im AFRAID to MOD her phone because its not mine and i dont know what correct files
should i use please help me guys!!
The other option is to have someone do it for you. I soft bricked my phone so I sent it to MobileTechVideos. They fixed it and installed a new ROM for me. Rooting and ROM service is $30. The repair service + new ROM is $60. Make certain that you specify which ROM version you want. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Good luck.

I would also wonder does your aunt need a special ROM on the phone? Is this her first smart phone? If so I would just root it and remove all the bloat apps with titanium backup and the phone would be tip top with amazing battery life. Find out what she needs in a phone before installing the ROMs because some features may not work.
I would check for software updates as well because it should be at 2.3 so you can just run it rooted with 2.3 and its a great phone. I ran it like that for quite awhile.

thanks for those who replied i just updated her phone to 2.3 and rooted it plus i removed the bloated apps (just like i did when i got my 1st smart phone hehe!) :angel:

[Q] Need help with Samsung Galaxy S Blaze upgrade

Hello,
I really need help and/or suggestions. Here's the situation. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze sgh-t769 that at one time Kies suggested to upgrade firmware. So, it upgraded to ice cream sandwich. Few months after, i wanted to root my device. so i downloaded odin and the suggested other downloads and followed instruction. Long story short, it bricked my phone. So i downloaded the needed rom SGH-T769-UVLB7-k0nane and with Odin again, and brought things back to supposedly factory setting. Except, that it rom now is gingerbread. Here's the exact reading from device setting and about phone:
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: T769UVMB1
Kernel vernsion: 2.6.35.11
Build #: GINGERBREAD.UVLB7
When I connect to Keis now it states"it's not supported by Kies". Device Software update stated, it's up to date.
I really would like to get ICS back into my device. How can i do that?

What are you trying to do, stay on ics stock or go up to custom firmware?
All you got to do is install a rom through recovery.
