[Q] is this the right file? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to unroot my nexus s 4g android 2.3.7 build number GWK74. Is this file OK to use or not? http://goo.gl/y1riw if you click that link it won't download anything it will jut bring you to where the file can be downloaded. Thank you

I'm not too sure if that's the file you want.
However, check out this thread and watch the video on how to unroot, has links to correct files

Thanks. If that doesn't work will this work?

just flash full rom package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and it will bring you back to full stock, just flash in cwm and be sure to get correct version for your phone model

You have the Ns4G from Sprint right? Thats the D720 Model
If your trying to unroot I'll help make it somewhat easier
1) Go here, read the OP and download the zip
2) Run the script and follow the instructions
3) You'll be good after that
As far as I know there are no stock 2.3.7 IMAGES, only pre built ROMs so your gunna have to flash stock 2.3.4 IMAGES with that script then OTA UPDATE to 2.3.5, then 2.3.7
Hope this makes it a lil bit easier

acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above
Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.
INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted
I'm rooted rite now...2.3.5. Will I lose my root if I update.. are can I even update while rooted? sorry..I'm still new to android

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.
Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root
Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.
Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.
Link to stock recovery
Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here...
WHY are we going to the OTA update if many are reporting poor 4g performance after the update. I don't want my 4g to run slower just so I can say I have 2.3.6

simple question. I9020A rooted running ICS rom. Do I accept OTA update?

Hi there,
Since my phone is a I9020A on Fido I rooted and currently running CM9 ICS rom, should I accept any OTA update or do I have to manually install it through CWM?
No, it can screw up your device if you do it like that. Just do it manually like everyone is doing.

Only difference between odex and deodex is that deodex is for theming. Odex boots faster.... And if the radio you're using right bow is working properly you don't need to flash another radio

Ok so I flashed 2.3.6 back stock for OTA rom from the thread in this section and now for some odd reason I cant access my CWM. Whenever I try to it shows some box and triangle thing flashing
tried to reflash CWM using Rom Manager and kept getting an error.
Doh!
To the handful of people getting OTA update on i9020a, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get either:
a) name of ZIP file
b) URL of ZIP file
c) copy ZIP file and upload (should be in /cache folder I think)
(preferably all three)
Once you install it the file is deleted and you lost your chance, so please if you downloaded update don't apply until you get at least one of the above...but preferably all three, you would be a hero to all of us in this thread with i9020a wanting update. This is AT&T/Rogers model.

The OP states he is running CM9 Kangs... He isn't getting the update since he is not on stock -- I think he is just asking how to actually take the OTA when it comes.
I am on Fido too in Canada and I can assure you, I have not received the OTA for my I9020A yet... Once it is available for my I9020A, I will post all the information here (if the I9020A official OTA is not already posted, that is...)
if i flash back to stock with root will i still receive OTA on ns4g?? even if with a different kernal?

I think the kernel has to be stock as well.
I just downloaded OTARootKeeper app and have reverted completely back to stock; I am patiently waiting for the i9020A OTA.
Hopefully we get it soon.
I don't mind a little wait though... by then all the other bugs and such with SuperUser app will be figured out for ICS.

I downloaded Voodoo OTARootKeeper from the android market. The description of the program claims it should hide your root during the ota and according to the apps latest reviews, it works on this ics upgrade. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it works and hopefully the super user app from the market will be updated by then to handle ics.

Also, Superuser has been officially updated for ICS, so you don't really need to use OTARootKeeper. The new SU works just like before.

There's a nandroid of stock 2.3.3 and you can root with super one click, or flash one of the stock ROMs... and it'll usually say " stock" in the title. 2.3.4 if on the new baseband.
Also, you can do some searching... won't hurt.
The method i beleve you have to go by depends on what version you opened the box with.
I started with 2.3
Please only use this as a reference and a reasurence, do a little more searching to find a better guide.
First you restore the backup from the development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
Then you need to restore stock recovery with NVFlash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Once at this point you can unroot with super one click
now go here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999
and click software updates and drivers then follow the instructions to get back to 100% factory.
THIS IS BY NO MEANS A HOW TO
this is just what i have done in the past.
I know this says update to new baseband but following the directions will take you back to stock, lose root and all:

Nexus S M200 can't update JellyBean?

i have Nexus S korean version (M200). Now, running ics 4.0.4(stock rom), and i try to check update Jeanbean. But i get " the system i currently up to date" . Cann't M200 update JB?? who can help me about this?? :crying:
I'm pretty sure that it's going to take a long time for KT to update to JB. M200's update is from KT not Google. That's why it takes more time for M200 than other variants. But you can always root and flash custom ROMs like me.

First I updated with the stock image of international version using this thread

This changed the baseband version from M200 to XXXKl1
After reboot I was able to get 4.1.1 via OTA
I haven't seen any problems so far
Are there any that I may not have experienced yet?

I am from Kolkata,India.Using m200 korean model.Have the same problem as the threadstarter.I guess when you're using it smoothly then inshallah,i too would.
Just to be pretty sure,you're telling me to follow ONLY this:
First up, let me tell you that doing this is not necessay to get the OTA or having a smooth JB experience. The JB OTA installs without a wipe which means the data is preserved.
UPDATE: Google has put up the full image for 4.1.1 [i9023, i9020a and i9020t] . Now you do not need to clean flash ICS and then JB. Follow the part 1 of the guide below and flash the JB image instead of ICS. Nothing more to it.
Thanks anshumandash for pointing it out
That being said, I wanted to have the real stock image on my Nexus S and then Upgrade to JellyBean. Below are the steps that I took.
Go to this GoogleAndroidImages page and download the appropriate image for your phone & download. Since mine is an international version a.k.a I9023, I chose that ROM.
The download will be a tar.gz file. Use a utility like 7Zip to uncompress it. The tar.gz will have a .tar file inside and the /tar file will have a folder. Extract the folder to your PC. For my download, the folder was named soju-imm76d
Next Steps will wipe your phone, completely
Reboot your phone into bootloader mode.
Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder in step 2.
Enter the below commands, the image file names are for my download, modify it to the file names in your folder before running (I assume that you have fastboot working)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip

RIGHT?Meaning just the above process?
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------
also,this means it'll wipe all my data/apps/settings ? ?
Yes you too can try..
for me, after the first step , I rebooted a couple of times and automatically got JB via OTA.
Insha-Allah you should also get the same.
But proceed with caution and download factory ICS image from google.

Question on updating from 4.1.1 VBRBLK3 to 4.1.2 VBRMF1

I have a rooted Verizon S3 that is currently on 4.1.1 VBRBLK3, I would like to upgrade it to 4.1.2 VBRMF1. I understand that I can use Odin to do a full rom flash however but I don't want to go that route, I would like to use the apply the update using the recovery option . In order to do this, do I need to appy the updates in sequencial order? Like update it to VBRMB1 first and then VBRMF1 or I can apply VBRMF1 directly to VBRBLK3?
Thanks,

Are you rooted AND unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery? If so, you could just flash the rooted stock VRBMF1 rom posted by Scrosler.

Or you just go grab the modem/radio from the stickies and flash in recovery.

That's the complete stock rom that you're referring to, not just an update zip file, right?

Since its a rooted zip, it will upgrade the software to VRBMF1. Your baseband (Settings/About Phone/Baseband) will still read VRBLK3 so you'll need to flash the firmware that Sandman-007 just posted about. As I said before, this will only work if you are rooted AND unlocked. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader then do not try this method.
To answer your initial question in your first post, you can take the OTA which will unroot your device. You can then use Casual by beanstown106 to root/unlock again.

I have found and downloaded the rooted stock VRBMF1 rom that you mentioned but I could not find the radio/modem firmware that Sandman-007 mentioned. Can you give me the link to the post?

I think I have found both files now. Just to be sure, these 2 files are:
I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip (around 820MB)
d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip (around 20MB)
Does it matter which one I do it first?

Looks about right. The flashing order does not matter. I prefer to flash separately with a boot into the rom between flashes whereas others would flash all at once. Personal preference really.
