[SOLVED] Where can I get stock 2.3.3 for i9020a?

Update
Thanks to dsixda, an update.zip file is created that, on installation through clockworkmod, will return I9020a's to stock conditions:
system: 2.3.3 build GRI54
kernel: 2.6.35.7-g1d030a7 [email protected] #1
radio/baseband: I9020AUCB2
Link http://www.mediafire.com/?fey8wvmvlhh12uj
Original Link http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph... S&PHPSESSID=9dc0c107b878587d1e0b21ec1e3130ef
I9020A_GRI54_stock_update_with_radio.zip
MD5: ea6a32b590ffd4c6746d1a2caeedfe1c
If you want to install stock recovery after that
i9020a_stock_recovery.zip
MD5: 1b52b993ce58b62a71d8a38ccf0bc667
Recovery is flashed through fastboot
Thanks CraneGuy for radio img and sdixda for everything

Hello,
My Nexus S I9020a is my first android, so I am new to rooting and flashing.
with the help of this awesome forum I got through with it all and I happily running cm7, so Thank you all.
However, I had a minor set-back... I didn't know about making a nandroid backup before all so I can retain it to its oem state.
If there is someone out there who can provide a link to his i9020a stock back up or there is a stock 2.3.3 out there that is for i9020a.. I would be really grateful.
my original stock info:
Build Number: GRI54
Baseband version: I9020UCKB2 -- now its NO DGSXXKB1 or I9020XXKB1 in bootloader menu
Bootloader: I9020XXKA3 -- I don't think I flashed bootloader at any step since this remains the same
CARRIER INFO: ATT
I did try installing the one in REF post in development, but build number is GRI40 and rebooting in recovery gives triangle exclamation droid.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I am in the same boat. I lost my 3G too. Did you find the stock rom yet?

That one is easy to fix, just go back into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery...

Thank you for your reply, but this is not what I am looking for as I want stock recovery not clockworkmod. I have that one in the link you provided and without it I would not have been able to install a custom ROM.

I can provide you with a nandroid backup of the stock I9020A system.img and boot.img (untouched), but unfortunately I forgot to dump the stock recovery and radio from a shell.

Thank you for replying. I won't be that much worried about radio as xxb1/3 somehow has better reception, I even get H most of the time now instead of 3G as when I first had the phone.
Did you obtain those files through CWM? just asking to know in future how do I go about keeping my stock images.
I appreciate your contribution to solve the issue I am facing.
Thanks

Yes I used CWM recovery. I just flashed that immediately after unlocking bootloader. I didn't root the device beforehand, so when I made a Nandroid backup it was stock.
I can upload it later, going to bed now.
PS. For dumping recovery.img, one way is to use the "dd" command in a shell (along with other parameters specifying the mount location of the image), but you need to be rooted. There are guides online, you can find them in Google search. Haven't experimented with the Nexus S yet but I had done it successfully in the past with others.

Thanks and have a have a great night

Here's the backup, you'll find the link at this site:

Thank you sir!

Thank you for your quick response and the files!
After downloading the zip file file i md5sum and it matched what is on the site, however when i try to restore using clockmod it says MD5 MISMATCH. I checked the files once they are on sdcard having the same md5 and it is so. I don't know what else I can do

If required, I can make this into a flashable zip so that it can be installed as a ROM.

I solved the issue and now I have my stock GRI54 back!
Thank you!!
the issue was your recovery folder didn't have nandroid.md5 file so I created one and calculated for each file and saved.
Thanks again!

That's strange, when I backed it up there was no nandroid.md5. Can you zip up the md5 and post it here? I could upload the corrected zip.
Edit: I guess I could use this method to calculate md5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114

just take the file out of the attached zip and put it in your recovery folder then zip and upload

Or maybe you could also include the stock recovery image mentioned above and make a new md5 based on the new set of files?

Thanks dude. One thing to note is that I'm pretty sure a nandroid does not restore radio or recovery. So even though it updated those things for you when you were completely stock and ran the actual OTA, I believe that anybody who flashes this nandroid will keep whatever radio and recovery they have when they flash it. If they are on hboot lower than 1.13, they can separately flash the 1.06es radio in TWRP.

should the bootloader be locked? or can i just restore this with un-locked bootloader hboot 1.13 and root?

You are supposedly restoring this back up from recovery and long as you have a custom recovery twrp you can use this.

Additionately I think we need a boot.img to flash, because everytime I restored a TWRP backup I had to do so. When I didn't I got stuck on boot.

ok but like chrikenn said with this backup the radio won't update right?

Besides flashing custom roms, never had to flash boot.img separately when restoring nandroid backup.

Fastboot boot img

Hello all. Im new to this particular forum. I own a Galaxy Nexus, but I am unlocking/rooting my buddies One S for him. I have gone through the loops already; unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed custom recovery (CWM) with no issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a snap compared to his previous HTC Legend. Nightmare.
Anyway, forgive me if this has in fact been answered as I have been searching. After a custom ROM is flashed you still have to flash a boot img via fastboot? I attempted to install CM10 yesterday and get stuck at the HTC boot screen?? Luckily I made a nandroid of the stock ROM and easily reverted. Where do I find the appropriate boot img? Is it just the img that is found in the unpacked ROM? Couldn't find anything pertaining to this in the ROM write up. I know with my Nexus you flash the ROM via recovery and that is it. Strange that you need to also flash the boot img following the ROM flash.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello there, since you installed cwm recovery, you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot, if you have the twrp recovery you may not need to flash it via fastboot, it does it for you if you have an hboot under 1.14 but if its over that hboot your going to have to flash the boot.img for any Rom via fastboot. It still wouldn't hurt to flash the boot.img via fastboot but that's just me, well I hope I helped you and if I did then good, and if you wanna know more just ask...

Hi,
I was using CM10 and now I want to revert back to my previously used stock ROM. However after restoring I'm still unable to boot (I'm using ClockworkMod Touch). Do I need to flash the stock boot.img too? Where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!

Its in the rom.zip just extract it. Also look for Flash Image Gui in apps section as enables you too flash a boot.img direct from your phone whilst booted in a rom and will even extract the files for you from the new rom.zip!

[Q] Htc one s telus RUU?

I made the mistake of running a cm10 rom on my htc one s that didnt work on i so now i can only access TWRP and my phones bootloader from my One S so I'm trying to find my phone's stock RUU but there are so many out there! Can anyone tell me how to find one? Or another way to get into my phone using another ROM? My phone is rooted with Twrp recovery, Unlocked bootloader obviously and S-on. All my phone does is show the htc bootscreen and then go black but I can still enter bootloader and the TWRP menu and I can connect it to my computer fine. Any help would be VERY greatly appreciated!

Don't give up. I had the same issue with my telus One S. I think I fixed it by falshing boot image separately and after flashing CM10. I believe this happens if the phone is rooted but is in S-ON mode, whatever that means. I remember it really gave me a hard time and as I was going to give up i flashed the boot image and it worked. You have to do it through a command window on your PC. There should be an all-in-one tool in this forum somewhere to simplify the steps a bit. Good luck!

Thanks!

It is in the zip file that you download to flash, i.e. your new ROM. So when you download CM10, open the zip file. BOOT.IMG will be there. Extract it and flash it to your phone. I believe everything was in One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.4. Look it up in the forum and it has all the tools you need. I admit that it was a pain and nothing was straight forward. I always root my android devices and install new ROMs. But HTC One S was particularly tricky.
Good luck!

Hello there! Fellow HTC One S user here! Don't give up on CM10! It's way better than stock on your one S! What you need to remember is that HBoot versions higher than 1.09 can't flash the boot while installing the rom, so you need to do that after flashing a rom! The boot for your version is going to be included in the rom's zip file. Look for the boot.img file located in the zip file's root. Every rom should have this. Place this boot.img file in the kernel folder of the One S all in one kit and flash it. You should be good to after that!
Don't hesitate to ask for more help if needed!

When I try to flash a ROM through fastboot it sends it fine but then it says: FAILED (remote: not allowed), and I tried pushing the ROM with adb but when I tried to put it on the sdcard, it said permission denied, do you know why? I am S-ON, would that be a problem? Thanks!

Ok, I understand; still wanna give you a heads up. If you download the RUU file representing your version (1.24.401.7) you need to use the RUU_decrypt_tool to be able to extract the recovery.img
This link might give you the information you possibly need.
I hope it helps you; I know what it feels like not having the .img-files if you, sort of, stuck

Wow! Thanks for this one when I'm free I'll try that and will update you. In fact the phone I'm using is working out fine. This is a Demo unit for commercial purposes and by default demo content keeps running in the background and wipe out Data agressively..I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, and mount system partition and deleted the Demo file manually. The reason why I need the img file is for me to restore the stock recovery and try if it's gonna work. I've done on my U11 and wanted to give it a try on my plus version..

If you extracted the recovery_signed.img file rename it to recovery.img, just to be shure (I did) from there on its just "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotes)

can someone help me get the stock recovery for htc u11 plus 2.19.401.2 EU.
