[Q] how to upgrade 2.3.6 from 2.3.4 (rooted)

I have rooted my nexus s and flash the kernel.
Here are the phone details.
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9020XXKD1
Kernel version: [email protected] #27
Build no.: GRJ22
I tried both manual and OTA update, but it failed. Is it due to my kernel version?
I want to update to 2.3.6 as the OTA notification is really annoying.
what should I do? thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, nether the OTA or the manual update via ClockWork works.

Flash the rooted version in cwm. Wipe only cache and dalvic cache. Done. If a radio was changed and you would like to use it flash it via fastboot.

Could you point to the rooted version please?
Ok I found the solution, the OTA update didn't work, and neither did the Update.zip
Grabbed the full Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And updated via CWM.
Working fine and running 2.3.6

[Q] 4.0.4 OTA: Failed to verify whole-file signature

Hi All,
Ive got a non-branded Nexus S, running on Official Stock 4.0.3.
I just got the OTA for 4.0.4 a few days ago but so far i have not been able to install it. My phone downloaded the OTA then I tried flashing the OTA update with stock recovery, but it says "failed to verify whole-file signature".
Tried installing the OTA update with CWM, but it gives me status 7 error.
When i hit restart and let it install on its own, it gets stuck on android guy. and after pressing vol up+power, it gives me the same error: "failed to verify whole-file signature".
I have stock recovery, stock official rom, locked bootloader and rooted.
Can someone please let me know how to install this?

any ideas?....

Try deleting the update and wait for OTA again, sounds like a bad download

Nexus S - Baseband
Hi,
I am having similar problems with my Nexus S. Here is the info:
Model:Nexus S I9020A
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband: NO DGSXXKI1
Kernel: 3.0.8-g6656123 [email protected] #1 Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012
Build: IMM76D
Product name:HEARING
HW VERSION: REV 16
BOOTLOADER VERSION: I9020XXKL1
BASEBAND VERSION: I9020XXKI1
CARRIER INFO: ATT
SERIALNUMBER: 37335082822D00EC
LOCK STATE: UNLOCKED
Problem 1: The baseband on Settings is different from the one on the recovery menu and I think this is making me lose signal (which is my major problem), isn't the baseband supposed to be I9020AUCKJ1.
Problem 2: I tired installing the Incremental Update IMM76D from GRK39F to try to fix the baseband using the stock recovery (ie. Volume Up Power On, then Power Volume Up for blue menu and selecting recovery, then selecting the file named update.zip which I downloaded, renamed and placed in the root folder) I got the file from "randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9020a/" and I get the e: signature verification failed error
Please help me, I'm new at this but I cant figure this out!
Thanks

You most likely modified the stock rom in some way. Like removing amazon mp3 store apk etc.
Since you're rooted you can download and flash a rooted stock rom. You could download the official factory images and manually flash them with fastboot. That would require you to unlock the bootloader though.

incremental updates only work when you have the right update for the right ROM. Since you are already on 4.0.4 you can't really the patch to"fix" things. I've not recently checked the status of the ota's but check to see if there is a full ROM version, you should be able to apply that. alternatively, you can apply a zip with the correct modern either through adb out cwn.

Do you have the stock recovery installed? It will only flash the official OTA update with the stock recovery. You can not use a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod Recovery or 4EXT Recovery.

firstly can you get a a signal with your phone since i do believe you got the 4g model?? also have you done a system factory restore before you try to update, you might need to backup either first, maybe it got to do with version or CID on your phone, not to sure never dealt with an international phone before... give more details, like software version and kernel version,

I just got the phone yesterday, so I don't know if it has stock recovery. Can you tell me how i can check this please?
If I don't have it, i could use some instructions on what i need to install.
Thanks.

Failed OTA upgrade from ICS 4.0.4 to Jellybean 4.1.1

I have a Nexus S that I bought new from Future Shop in Canada. I'm with Telus Mobility as my cellular service provider. When I bought the phone, it was running Gingerbread 2.3. I rooted the phone and flashed CyanogenMod 7 on it, but I had stability problems, so I flashed back to the official ICS image from the XDA forums. I've had no problems with the image, but just yesterday the Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean) System Update has shown up on my phone as being available for OTA update. When I clicked Restart & Install, the download ran fine, but when it restarted to do the install, it booted to the android and exclamation point. I had to do a battery pull to get it to boot, and then it just booted back to 4.0.4. I've tried the OTA updatemultiple times, but it still fails. Can anyone help me figure out why the OTA updateis not working?

I would do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29073020&postcount=1
Just make sure you are choosing the right stock for your phone i1920A I assume. Factory Images "sojua" for Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a)
This should clear it up. Then get the 1 MB update. Then do this to get 4.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29067584&postcount=2817

Thanks. That's exactly the information I was looking for. It turns out the problem was Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.0.2.0. It seems to have been causing problems with the OTA update.

[Q] Galaxy tab 2 P3100 JB 4.1.2 (rooted using CF-Auto-Root) Official updates question

Hello,
I am from India and recently purchased Galaxy tab 2 P3100 model with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 version built in on it.
Baseband
P3100DDCLK1
Kernel Version
3.0.31-812001
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 8 20:09:50 KST 2013
Build Number
JZO54K.P3100DDCMC1
I have tried to root the device two days back, here is what happened,
1) Copied cwm-root-gtab2.zip and Fix-Recovery.zip to external SD Card. Flashed GT-P3100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar using Odin successfully.
2) Went in to ClockWorkMod Recovery mode (power button + volume up) and Installed cwm-root-gtab2.zip and Fix-Recovery.zip using CWM Recovery successfully.
3) Rebooted the tab. ROOTING WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
4) Went in to download mode again and flashed CF-Auto-Root-espressorf-espressorfxx-gtp3100.zip using Odin and ROOTING WAS SUCCESS
5) But CWM Recovery was gone. So I went in to Download mode again and flashed GT-P3100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar to get CWM.
Now I have CWM and Rooting.
Question is will I be able to receive Samsung official updates whenever they are available?

U will not be able to update your tab over-the-air (from settings). Instead connect it to a laptop or pc and use samsung kies to update it. Make sure to unroot before you update using either of these methods or you might get a bootloop (stuck on boot screen).
Check out my thread if u want to root or unroot tab 2.

No on cos I was rooted with com and updated to jelly bean and 4.1.1update I was also rooted and all of these updates are oat

I went to Settings->About device->Software update->Update and I get below error message,
"Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
I opened SuperSu app and went to settings and did "Full Unroot" and rebooted the device. After rebooting verified in "Root Checker" app that root access is removed. Tried Software update again and still same error message.
What is the way to restore my Official Software update?

If I am correct, we should still get 4.2 by 2013 Q3 end. I don't want to miss that.
Btw, on top of unrooting, I also had to flash stock recovery to get rid of "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" error.
However now when I do, Settings->About device->Software update->Update I simply see a screen showing "Checking for software updates..." and that never completes. Could it be Samsung server error? or am I still being kicked out from Official updates? I remember that, earlier (before rooting) when I do this, I used to see some thing like "your device is already up to date".

moreover its not like when u press update u will getal ipdates from ics to coming ones am on 4.11 and I didnt get the 4.1.2 plz close this thread as no ise and no prob read this man , dang it

So how about rooting via recovery mode?

Here is my observation. If you have ever rooted your tab 2 (using recovery or odin) in order to receive official updates you need to do the following,
* Use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
* Unroot the tab.
* If you have flashed CWM Recovery, re flash stock recovery.
* Finally flash stock firmware using odin (you can download your stock firmware from samemobile.com). When you flash stock firmware your flash count wont increase.

Does it even matter if you get updates from samsung?
You can easily get Odin-flashable updates from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com (preferred by me).
Btw this is the easiest way to root gtab: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAvze-VNzj8
