Nexus S 2.3.7 to ICS or Jellybean help!

Hey,
I recently got a hold of a Nexus S as a friend of mine gave me his phone as a gift to replace my Iphone 3g before he left out of the country. I love this phone, cant seem to put it down but now I want to upgrade the phone to ICS or JellyBean. I was hoping if someone can point me in a direction of how to upgrade. I cant seem to find any info on how to upgrade with a rooted 2.3.7. The phone I have is a Nexus S I9020A with 2.3.7. I am also including a screen shot of the phone settings. Please go easy on me as I just jumped in to the world of andriod and Im loving it! From the research i was getting from google i was wondering whether I should go to stock 2.3.6 and then get OTA for ICS, as I read how rooted phones do not get OTA. So I was hoping if someone could lead me to the best pathway to upgrade, if it is true that you only get OTA for unrooted phones I would prefer those upgrades. Thank you so much for your help!

first go here :http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9020a/ download 2.3.6 GRK39F Full ROM...
2:download 4.0.4 IMM76D - IMM76D from GRK39F
3:download 4.1.1 JRO03E- JRO03E from IMM76D
Copy the 3 files to the storage card.
power off phone ..
press the power button and the volume up button ..now you see the recovery ..
wipe data/cache/dalvik
install zip from sdcard
first 2.3.6
reboot
second
imm76d
reboot
third
JRO03E
reboot
thats it !!

Or avoid update on update **** and flash stock JB from images instead : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

thank you for your help, i downloaded those three files and put it on the phone. once i get in to recovery I do not see wipe data/cache/dalvik. Everytime I select recovery it gives me a blank screen for one second and then takes me back to the same screen but on the top it says fastboot mode - no boot or recovery img

Make sure you have everything backed up. Try titanium backup.
Boot into recovery. (make sure you have a new version of recovery. If you want google - nexus s install cmw recovery
Clear/wipe everything in recovery, you will have the option to wipe phone and clear cache. You need to do this before changing roms or your bound to get errors.

You can download the firmware from prestigio site and it will be factory-state.

Hello!
We have a small community in Hungary with this tablet, and this method has some serious problem that came up for a few people including me.
After the first boot with a rooted tabled, gapps going to crash many times. The only solution was to reinstall gapps from CWM (from the cyanogenmod source). After the second boot AOSP keyboard started to crash. Others had problems after a week of use. They had infinite boot loop and the only solution was to flash the original fw.
Do anybody else had problems like this?

after a few attempts, it worked like a charm... thanks for a nice and clear tutorial...
if only there were some custom kernels for this device...
btw in developer tools - how can you enable "Full screen anti-aliasing"? it's grayed out and unavailable...
one more thing
on the official Prestigio web site and in the device manual it says that this tablet can't be charged through usb port - not exactly true...
i used my android phone charger and plugged the usb cable to the device and charging worked (it doesn't work only if plugged in the computer usb port)...
but i don't know what happened - usb charging didn't work today (maybe it has something to do with rooting of the device - it worked yesterday when it was unrooted) - if i figure out what happened - i'll post it here...

Hello,
sorry but I don't understand it. I have new tablet and I have preinstalled Android 4.1.1.

Please help me. I don't want break my tablet...

You have to downgrade first. After the reboot with the 3G older firmware your tablet will be a non responding brick, but don't worry it has to be this way. Push the power button and the tablet going to power off.
Anyway as I wrote, after rooting most pepole got many problems (chrashing apps, bootloop ect.) and the community is too small to solve problems like this. Easy rooting method is still needed.
You don't have to worry, you can flash the factory firmware to your tablet even if it's a halfbrick, you can do rooting safely.

I tried it a while ago. I have ROOT now! Great. This way is right. THX
-----EDIT-----
Some trouble with automaticaly close some apps has solution in wipe/factory reset, wipe Dalvik and Cache and format SDCARD. I have not any error messages now.

Hello guys,
any solution for root this tablet with android 4.2 or i have to downgrade to android 4.1.1 and after them i can do these steps?

last official firmware is 4.1.1 (from February, 2013 - 1.0.8. in Prestigio numbers )
and i think it won't be updated...

Sucessfully rooted Prestigio Multipad PMP 7100 D3G with this method, thanks.
I've wiped data/cache/dalvik, FCs only in stock browser when entering url address.

thought this was the only one for the 10.1 " multipad .

so is there any posibility to have anything newer than 4.1.1 for this tablet? (even with small drawbacks)
did anyone manage to succesfully install some of the other rk3066 based roms on this multipad?

Have you checked if your processor is clocked at 1.6 ghz? Mine sits in 1.5GHz. It's not normal!

?
max cpu for this tablet is 1504mhz (1.5 ghz)

[How to] update and root jellybean 4.1.2 (P5110)

This thread will help you to update and root android version 1.4.2 on your galaxy tab 2 (P5110 only).
This solution requires access to a PC running Windows.
This procedure was tested on stock 4.1.2 ROM and may not work on other versions.
WARNING:
I am not responsible for bricking your device, using this thread is at your own risk!
Requirements:
- Odin (download)
- Latest galaxy tab 2 android firmware (download)
- Clockworkmod (download)
- SuperSU v1.10 (download)
- Samsung usb drivers (download)
Process
Step 1:
Copy SuperSU v1.10 to the root of your SDcard.
Install the Samsung USB drivers.
Step 2:
Make sure Samsung KIES is not running on your computer!
Step 3:
Make sure your tablet is not connected to your computer or another power supply.
Shut down your tablet and turn it on holding both power and volume up (right) button pushed.
After some seconds you'll see a yellow triangle, push volume down now.
Step 4:
Connect your tablet to the computer and start Odin.
When Odin is succesfully connected you should see a orange box lighting up. (in Odin)
Step 5:
Extract P5110XXCMA2_P5110OXXCMA4_SMO.zip to a place you can find it.
In odin, click on PDA and select the tar.md5 file you just extracted.
Step 6:
Click on start and let Odin flash your tablet.
Step 7:
When flashing is complete your tablet should restart, turn it off again and repeat step 3.
When you're in download mode again click on PDA in odin and select GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar.
Step 8:
Click on start and let odin flash clockworkmod on your tablet.
Step 9:
When flashing is complete your tablet will restart once again, turn it off again.
Start your tablet by pushing volume down and power at the same time (not volume up)
Step 10:
Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose SuperSU v1.10 file you already copied to root of sdcard.
Step 11:
Once you're done flashing you can go back to the main page of clockwork recovery and clear cache.
When that is finished you can reboot your system
That's it!
Your device has been updated to version 4.1.2 of android and rooted with superuser.
WARNING: Do not install ROM Manager until developer says app will support Tab2 10.1 < Posting this because someone bricked their Tab2.
In addition, ROM Toolbox may not work properly (1 crash reported).

I recommend doing a full backup of android in clockworkmod recovery (use step 9 to get into clockworkmod recovery)
This is one of the first tutorials I've ever made, and I made it in a limited amount of time.
Iff you have any feedback please leave a reply, also leave a reply iff your flash was succesfull
Have Fun!

You can install the update above, it will reset your recovery to default.
That way you'll be able to flash the new recovery
Thread changes: I deleted superuser and added supersu, this way root will work.

Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial.
We bought 2 Tab 2 10.1's yesterday (It's our wedding anniversary on Monday these where the gifts we bought each other) and after spenging last night flashing PA, CM and PACMAN I settled on a stock rom.
All the others just don't have the right feel..... Where is the Sotmax rom when you need it... :laugh:
Any way so my tablet had root and a custom rom installed already (and a back up) and was stock after flashing.
For the mrs I just followed this and all went according to plan.
Only thing I can say is the link you have to teamhacksung.org is broken.
I did also flash philz touch straight after this.

samsung usb driver is bad link
anyone got a working one?

I think that, if Kies is installed on your pc, you dont need to install samsung usb drivers again...

I've updated my Tab 2 to 4.2.2 but am largely unimpressed so wanted to use this method to root and then install a custom ROM.
If I use the Android firmware from the link above, will I be back on the older version of Android (which doesn't bother me), or do I need to follow all them steps above but use the 4.2.2 rom from somewhere?
Anyone?

Wow, no love. Was wondering the same thing. ^

Can I use this method with stock JB 4.2.2?

[Q] Star S5 MTK6589 Root

Hi all,
Just got my Star S5 in the mail, while I'm in the process of removing all chinese bloatware, I'm hitting a wall here. To remove baidu I need root (which i want anyway, actually), but I can't seem to boot into cwm-recovery after creating my own with smart phone flash tools and mtk droid root & tools. None of the other options listed online work either! Is there a secret button combination or something to get into recovery or does smart phone flash tools SAY it flashed the boot.img and recovery.img but doesn't it actually do it?
Pressing vol+ and power, then when green android pops up on screen releasing power but holding vol+ doesn't work (it just continues to boot regularly)!
Edit: ninonirvana's solution below worked to get into CWM.. however, flashing the superuser-binary doesn't work on android 4.2 and up. I had to use SuperSU, everything works now!

Lastly, i followed this <<USE SUPERSU INSTEAD OF SUPERUSER>> tutorial, flashing only my newly created recovery.img and boot.img, after using your nexus toolkit to get into cwm. I backed up my rom now AND rooted, so all is well
NOTE: as stated above, using superuser doesn't work on android 4.2 and up, you should flash superSU instead!

I know this phone is new and I may get it in the future, once the rooting process is is figured out for MT6589, it may be useful for other phones with the same chip. Can someone write a simple step-by-step instructions on how to root it for others so there won't be a bunch of scattered threads and questions about the same thing. Thanks in advance!

It is no one key root tool for android 4.1 or android 4.2. I think the best way for root the phone is flashing the phone with rooted ROM if it exists

I've managed (finally to trick windows 8 into installing the vcom...) to flash the chiniese green recovery - but I have no idea how to navigate and what option to choose - since I saw SD I went to that one and clicked with the power button - writes something in chinese in white and does nothing? Am I doing something wrong in here? Is there a special way to navigate that recovery?
Shoud I have placed the supersu zip in a specific folder? rename it perhaps to update.zip or something like that?
Thank you again for all your help

If you post a screenshot of the recovery menus, then we could get someone who understands Chinese to do a line-by-line translation. Or maybe even Google Translate

Thank you, but I already managed to flash the supersu - thank you anyway.
After rooting the device I pushed the NetworkLocation.apk into system/app - but to no avail - I still can't get any google location.
Does anybody know what can be done?

Would someone PLEASE be so kind to put up a 100% secure tutorial?
I really dont want to get an expensive brick to throw out of the window...
Maybe with video, or much screenshots... That would be great!

[Q] Need Help to Flash Cyanogenmod 11 to 11s on Chineses OnePlus one

Hi Team,
Just brought in a chinese version of OnePlus One flashed with CyanogenMod 11 , Went to cynaogen site and it seems the file available is "cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip" when most the site indicate the files without fast-boot , not sure if this would work.
Anyways i attempted to try it out and i copied the files to the SD card and when intop recovery mod using power + volume Down ( The Chinese guys has already rooted and flashed custom-recovery on the device ) , but to my suprise the the entire input of the screen was in Chinese.
So my question and the help needed is
+ How do i install or change the Custom-recovery to English .
+ Can anyone please provide me step by step procedure to install CyanogenMod 11s from CyanogenMod 11.
I know its lame , as this is my first ever time and would like to give it a go.
Thanks
Faisal

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T USE THAT STUFF.
Just follow tutorials on how to run adb and fastboot commands to root that thing manually.
EDIT: Look at here and you'll know what i say: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/softbricked-to-t2840193

If you're already rooted and you just need to change recovery just install TWRP manager from the play store and install the latest version of TWRP recovery from the app.
The version is 2.7.1.1 and your device is called bacon.
Happy flashing.
Then you can download CM11s rom zip file and flash it as any custom rom. As you're rooted use titanium backup to backup your apps (don't backup system data) in order to restore your applications after the upgrade as you will have to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik cache/boot/system) before installing CM11s.
Good luck bro!

Brilliant , thanks again DuckMcQUack , i will get that done tonight after i reach home.
One last question , Is " "cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip" avaiable at Cyanogen site the same as "cm-11.0-xxxxx-bacon-signed.zip" , since most of the site says the team cyanogen has removed the offical OnePlus One build from their site and the different forums also indicates files without fastboot keyword.

You should find a zip that can be installed from recovery, i think that those on the site you linked are only flashable in fastboot.
I hope someone will chime in and point you towards the right version, i never searched for it as i am totally rooted but stock as now.
EDIT - FOUND IT http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip

Thanks Again , will keep you posted on my progress :good:

Finally flashed CM11s on the OPO.
Finally I have my first Custom ROM install done and feel so happy ( Yes i did face some issue , but it was a worth learning them on how to fix it ). :victory:
BIG SHOUT out to DuckMcQUack for helping me out, without your knowledge i would have not known about TWRP , thanks man , cant thank you enough . :good:
I have posted the steps that i followed ( below ) and the issues faced , maybe it can help in someone else (who is Novice like me) to flash CM11s on their OPO .
I will start with my Issues faced first before posting steps to install , so that people are aware of things that can go wrong if you don't follow the instruction properly. :laugh:
ISSUE FACED:
1. After installing TWRP recovery and installing the image from the TWRP app ( Install TWRP option in the app ) even after selecting Bacon as the device name , rebooting into recovery mode , still showed me CWM in Chinese language ( spend one hour to figure this out on how to get this replaced )
2. After the fix of TWRP , rebooted the device on recovery mode and wiped the cache and formated the device , but for some reason my Internal Storage was also wiped out even the image that i copied to the storage, leaving my phone bricked and no OS to boot my phone ( spend 2 hours to figure this out , as i didn't have the adb-shell sorted before wiping the phone OS )
3. After getting things sorted and moving the image ( zip file ) to the storage , installing the zip file indicates " Partion Table Error " and spend almost 2 hours again to figure this out.
MY SETUP:
+ Sony Viao running Windows 8.1
+ OnePlus One Chinese Edition - SandStone Black ( 64 GB ) - Brought from OPPOMART
+ OnePlus One Already rooted
+ OnePlus One was running CynanogenMod 11
+ OnePlus One was using ClockWork Mod in chinese language.
TOOLS NEEDED:
+ TWRP Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
+ TWRP Manager Image: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/231
+ ADT bundle: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
+ CynanogenMod 11s: http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip
+ USB OTG ( Very Important as this saved my life ) : You can get from any local mobile store.
STEPS FOLLOWED:
1. Ensure your OPO is rooted , my device was already rooted by the seller so didnt have to follow any steps , im not going to provide any steps to root the device since i havent followed any and also haven't tested those steps to know what issues you would face.
Please do check the forum / google search on how to root OPO , once done follow the rest of the steps.
If you wanted to know how did i know my device was rooted , on CM11 ( that came with device ) on settings at the very bottom I had SuperUser settings.
2. Install TWRP , fastboot the device to install the image using ADT bundle->platform-tool to convert CWM Recovery to TWRP Recovery.
Deatils steps on how to do it is provided by youtuber "sakitech" ( Again a big thanks to him ) , check his video on how to change the CWM to TWRP : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnESTcH2ioA
Quick Tip , on OnePlus One
- To Fastboot its: Turn-off-the-device -> Power + VolumeUp ( together )
- To Enter in recoverymod its : Turn-off-the-device -> Power + VolumeDown ( together )
3. Once you have followed the steps , make sure you go through the options available in TWRP Recovery and also check if your phone detects the usb-otg ( a life-saver if your phone is bricked and dont want to go through sideloading the zip files to the phone using adb which is a pain )
- Power of the phone
- plug the usg-otg to the device
- hold power + volume down
- on the TWRP recovery page , click on mount and mount usb-otg
- hit back and then on advanced -> filemanager , check if you can view files in the usb-otg folder
- Back to the main menu , reboot the phone normally.
4. After downloading the file (Cyanogenmod 11s) files make sure the checksum ( md5 ) is the same as shown on the site .
To do so,
- On the windows command prompt ( windows key + R and type in cmd )
- navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the CM11s zip file ( cd <type-in-file-path> )
- Run md5 <type-in-CM11s-filename>
- The output should match ( i skipped this first and that ended up with a bad download ).
5. Copy those files to the phone storage and the USB stick ( to be used by usb-otg) , just in case.
6. Take backup of your device use Titanium backup if needed.
7. Reboot into recovery mode.
8. On TWRP recovery page ,
- Check the usb-otg is still working on the device and the TWRP is able to detect it and you are able to see the zip file ( CM11s ) that you just copied into it
- First wipe -> Format device -> swipe to confirm
- Second Wipe -> Advance Wipe -> check box everything ( except storage ) -> swipe to confirm.
- Main menu -> Reboot -> Reboot into Recovery ( It might ask during reboot , that do you want to install SuperUser ) -> swipe to confirm.
- Once the phone is rebooted into recovery .
- install zip -> provide the location of zip file -> swipe to confirm.
- Once done , On main menu -> reboot normally ( again might ask to install superuser ) -> swipe to confirm.
- If your phone doesnt turn on normally , then just hit the power button , the boot might take 5 minutes or so for the first time , once done , you have the CM 11s installed ...
Enjoy :laugh::good:

No problem mate.
As regarding the issue:
1. About your recovery being resetted over and over: In developer options are you sure that you had: Update CM recovery unchecked? This can be the case...I just forgot to tell you about it, I'm relatively new to OPO and I am still used to my old GS4 which didn't have such problem!
2. Maybe you formatted internal storage by mistake? If you do advanced wipe and select only cache/dalvik/data/system/ boot it shouldn't have happened.
3. No clue about the partition error, but I'm glad you sorted it out anyways!
Have fun :highfive:

1. I haven't checked that part , i left the app to do its bit , but it seems it might have not .
2. I made sure at least two to three time , that storage was not selected , but it wiped it even after unchecking it.
3. Yup not sure , might be a bad download , since my first download was of the size 473MB and the second ( good one ) was 464MB , so definitely there was a bad files that i downloaded.
Anyways all went well and happy with the new Flash , hopefully Cyanogemod send updates via OTA for the unofficial installation of CM 11s on OPO ...

Thats very true , because it not that i haven't searched google before posting a new thread , i couldn't find any guide ( or this thread never came up with the search ) on how to install using fastboot which was the official build available on the website of Cynanogen mod OPO.
