Hey guys. I was planning to get one of these tomorrow but I've seen from forums that the ICS update might not be out yet, is it or not?
In the U.K and will be getting an unlocked version of the phone.
Really want ICS, I hear the update to ICS was out in December but from the forums it doesn't seem so.
Its out, its just not OTA. So just flash it.

It depends on what device you're gonna get..
For Nexus S I9020T (the t mobile version with AMOLED screen) the ICS OTA is out since Dec. 2011 ... Stock now at ICS 4.0.3 (I think the same applies for the LCD version I9023)
For Nexus S I9020A , no ICS is not there yet !! and might be never nobody knows (except Google themselves) ...
that summs it I hope

If you just want ICS.... and more. Try custom ROMs. Its more fun than stock. Trust me.

My phone's currently rooted (running CM7 if that matters). Since the OTA update for Sprint is supposed to start rolling out this Monday, is there anything I need to do in order to receive the update?
Will I need to unroot?
Is there some manual way of checking for the update on custom ROMs?

I have raised this question on two threads. I used Mikeyinid's rom for awhile and now have Oxygen rom and I have asked in both threads what would be done. People have told me that an update.zip would be released or the rom itself would be upgraded. Just keep your eye on your respective rom's thread and the developer should get everyone taken care of. As soon as the first member of this site gets the OTA, you know it will be posted and then applied to all the roms/kernels lol. We wont have to do anything but reboot to recovery and flash knowing these guys. I give it a few hours after it starts rolling out before they have it locked in lol

That actually makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the answer!
Honestly most of the fixes are gonna be in the radio. Personally I don't even care about the 2.3.5 stuff or whatever else is included. I just want to flash the new radio the second its available and I will happily wait for ROMs to the be updated from that point on
yea, all i care about is the radio too....GB reminds me if vista, everytime they fix a problem, it changes...2.3 2.3.2 2.3.3 2.3.4 ..... 2.3.5? just fix my radio and send me 4.0 !

Anyone?
Many i9020t and i9023 get the OTA
But I haven't seen any i9020a get that.
Not yet!

I think I am going to wait since the instructions in the other thread seem to be for i9023 and it seems to be giving signature error for i9020a.

Thanks.
I just found that the ROM was for T-MOBILE(TMO)
Hold on
Because of minor difference between two models, i9020a will need to go through some changes for it to function properly. I heard that if you manually update i9020a with i9020t ROM, you will either get an error or it will kill your reception

Thank you!
I just found that an i9023 can be flashed the i9020t's rom.
How many days we should wait for?
A week or a month?
This is ridiculous that i9020a users get left in the dust. -.-

Awkward situation for i9020a
It seems that the OTA for i9020a is the stuff of next year.

Settle down. It's been one day since Google announced that ICS is rolling out. They said it will be happening over the next month.
Patience.
Just flash the Neapolitan rom and be happy besides with that rom you don't loose cwm and still have root.

Why the i9020a is the last one.(except ns4g)
Maybe because it was the last one to come out...or maybe it is a way to keep from overloading the server. Only other thing I can think is that maybe they are working on a new radio for the att version

Probably a mixture of all these. I have an i9020a and I'm running the neopolitan ROM for now. It's great. I was on stock 2.3.6 with cwm recovery. Just wiped all and flashed it. It kept the bootloader and the radio.
im running the tmo ota on my 9020a with gladosv2.0
I´m running the tmo ota on my 9020a with gladosv2.5
I haven't gotten it yet
No update for 9020a yet, -1 for google
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The update should come sometime this month. Since thats when google said thats when i9020a will get the ota update. It also depends on where you are.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
who needs the ota now when there is so many good roms out there? I think the only advantage to the ota coming out is possibly a new radio that might be better.

It may be this month but Google never said it would be this month. They have never stated when/if the i9020a version is getting ICS. There's a difference between a French website posting false information and Google actually making an announcement. JBQ (from Google) has recently said 4.0.4 is not even finished yet. So I highly doubt 4.0.5 will be released this month before 4.0.4 is finished.
Just got a Nexus S for school and from what I can tell there is supposed to be an ICS OTA update but its not finding it.
It's currently on 2.3.6 and it doesn't have a SIM (University property, I only get to use it for development) so I'm only on wifi. Does anyone know why it won't update to ICS? I don't want to download the .zip because there are about 10 other people who are in the class and I don't want to try to explain to them how to update.
Its not official out yet as far as I'm aware (I have a nexus s 4g though and am not to sure about the other models...) Have you tried settings/about phone/system update!

Yeah. It says its up to date on 2.3.6. I just thought that ICS was official.
google hasn't pushed the ics update for i9020A
The ICS update for the NEXUS S has been slated for sometime in MARCH. The OTA update is what I'm talking about. —KID ANDROID
Yea google is really slacking with the i9020a OTA... thank goodness for the xda-devs though the roms here are better anyways
According to the Google Announcment they had been halted the ICS update For the Nexus s . Firlst they said ICS update will be on 2011 December 16.But For Some Some reason They had halted the updating processes of the Nexus s
But Their Lot of Unofficial Custom roms If you want to taste the ICS You can try them
I think this will helpful for you
Thanks all. Does anyone know if the ota located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395828
is for i9020a and will it receive OTAs in the future?
i m using nexus s i9023 and i already got an update in decmbr..
cant say about i9020a.
If you just bought your Nexus S then updating your handset with something other than the official ota update will void your warranty. I'd just wait till the update comes ota in MARCH which will be 4.0.5 I'm sure it will be worth the wait as I've heard they have fixed everything that was wrong and added a couple new things to it. We've waited this long, what's a couple more weeks. —KID ANDROID
Im just curious if anyone knows if there will be a new radio update with the new jellybean release in a few weeks?
There already is one you can use in the development section You don't have to flash it to have Jelly Bean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Judging by the screenshot of the port, it's still KI1. Which is the same as 4.0.4
Ports from the sdk or the gn would have nothing at all to do with a radio for the nexus s.
Radios will come in the form of official ota for the device as well as the factory images released by google.

I know of the new GNex radio but this is the Nexus S forums buddy :~|
Well I know that the devs will use the stock radios we have to port, was just wondering if they were coming out with new update. It would be nice cuz the ones ive tried in my area is little sketchy at times

hello
well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

To be very honest with you and AFAIK no one had tried to fxz to ICS from GB.but in theory it should work.
But this is what I'll suggest fxz to 2.3.6 and try OTAing.it should take you to ICS directly.

Ok so get this very clear if you phone it's AT&T one(it has AT&T written on the bottom) then you can't flash any other firmware.your only option is the AT&T firmware( from here).
And there are lots of ROMs that you can try.
StockyEd is pure OTA version of ICS.
Others are Numa, swifty trix ,scv7.Also we have CM10.
