[Q] How does one update recovery?

I've noticed people mentioning running CWM Recovery 5.5.0.x on their i9023, however the CWM website lists 5.0.2.0 as the latest available recovery for i9023.
Where do I get these newer versions and how do I flash them?

Download from (get the crespo image for the Nexus S) and flash it with fastboot.
Start your phone in bootloader mode, connect it to your pc and run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img
for instance.
Or you can use ROM Manager and donate for the Touch-version. Then you can just flash it from there.

So... 5.0.2.0 is the latest non-touch recovery available for the nexus s?

Yes. And you can always update those with ROM Manager; even the free version.

That I know. However I have the premium version of Rom Manager but it won't let me flash the touch recovery. It says "error while downloading from server" and that I might not have an internet connection and/or sufficient space on my SD card.

You need to buy the touch recovery with rom manager to flash with rom manager

Indeed, they want you to pay again to be able to use the Touch Recovery with ROM Manager, although you can install it manually with fastboot for free. I'm wondering if that will change in the future, because it seems logical to me that the development of the regular CWM will end in a while, and the Touch Recovery will become the default.
Maybe the licenses for ROM Manager Premium will increase in price; we'll see.

I just downloaded it from the site and then used the flash gui app and all was good.

You can also try TWRP recovery!!

Help please

Hi....
I am not from here.... Am from dhd section...
I got a galaxy R......
So I would have some questions regarding flashing and ROMs....
1. Can someone suggest some stable ics ROMs? ? Most of the ics ROMs are inactive now..... So I can't choose any...
2. Can I install 4 ext recovery?
It's simple and touch recovery too...
3. If I can't change cmw recovery what are things I should format before flashing a rom.... And where can I find the options I mean under which category in recovery...
All I see is factory reset and format cache...
Thanks in advance...

yes, you need to wipe all things first (i.e. data,system & Caches) & Then flash ICS Stock ROM first coz of stability issues.

yes,
follow these steps.
0. copy zip file of Rom, Gapps(if required by rom), Ardatdat's kernel into your sdcard
1. wipe data/factory reset(along with dalvik cache)
2. flash stock firmware using odin (probably you'll experience boot loop)
3. flash CWM using odin
4. flash Ardatdat's kernel
5. perform factory reset(along with dalvik cache)
6. flash rom and gapps
Done..!

ok....thanks......
what happens if i skip the flashing stock step...i mean if i flash directly from jellybeer to the frankenstains mod by only doing factory reset and wiping caches ?????
And wiping caches and factory reset will do everything? Don't we have to wipe system and other things.?
And I don't like touch wiz... So can u please suggest a stable ics rom that runs without touch wiz?
I checked cyanogen... But no stable rc releases for this device.....
Thanks in advance...

Yes, above steps are just to be on safe side. You can install frankenstains mod after factory reset and wiping dalvik caches and skip mentioned step..
I thought you wanted stock ics.
AFAIK there isnt any stable custom ics rom. for stable rom you need to adjust with touchwiz only.

You can always install a custom launcher, like Nova or Apex which give a pure AOSP feel.

not exactly, first you need to download the zip file of ardatdat kernel and custom rom you want to flash and keep it into sdcard before performing any steps as mentioned 0th step in this post and then flash stock ics

after flashing CWM (say v4.0.0.2) you will get an option "install zip from sdcard" in recovery mode(hope you know the key combination to enter into recovery mode) click on it and browse to the directory in which you kept kernel and rom
click on zip file of kernel and flash it
same way install rom.
hope you are clear now..

I am sorry, Please hold on while I checking to fix and reupload them.

The file has been examining and corrected. You can download them now.

Any chance for an Odexed base?

I tried again to install and just sat on the boot screen and tried again after booting back into recovery and clearing dalvik cache same result, has anyone else successfully booted? If so tell me how you proceeded on install, I formatted data and cache then wiped boot and did clean install, it did install but just stayed on boot animation, let it run for at least 10 minutes but never booted into Rom,

[Q] Problem installing ROMs (status 0)

I wanted to try a KitKat ROM so i downloaded a couple on PC and transferred to SD card. I did a backup (which really saved me lol) and then, as instructed , formatted system, data, and cache. Wiped Dalvik and flashed ROM (Paranoid Android 4.0). It started but after the "installing update" message I got a error message " error /location of zip/name of zip (status0)". I thought it meant that the zip was corrupted so i downloaded on PC again. Transferred to SD and tried to install following the same stepsand got the error again. After that I tried to install another ROM(Validus 5.1) and still got the error. Decided to restore and see if i could get help before trying again. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks in advance for any help

I am currently using TWRP, but I have used PhilzTouch in the past. They both work pretty well. TWRP has bigger buttons that are spaced out better and has an easier interface to use. PhilzTouch has some other features but isn't as polished. It is just a matter of personal preference. Some Roms will have a recommended recovery listed, though.
Also, to make sure that the zip you download isn't corrupted, check the md5 of the zip you download against the md5 on the download page.

Biggest advantage of using Phillz touch is that it can detect OTG cable,so you can flash ROMs from USB device as well;on the other hand, TWRP allows you to flash 10 zips at the same time,it will release the overhead of selecting Zip one after another manually. So choose your options wisely.
Edit:-
One more thing I would like to add,Phillz touch blackhawk supports dual-booting through next kernel

Just wanted to say thanks again to jrc2. I went with TWRP because backup to sd card was not working on CWM and Philz. Backup would start and in the middle of backing up data or system tab would just reboot. But TWRP looks ok and flashed with no problems.
