Hi Folks!
I am retuning newbie to the XDA forum but, I cut my teeth on the original XDA... But, Android is a new arena...
I have Nexus S - i9020 - no suffix, GSM, purchased in the UK.
1. I am currently running a rooted installation of ICE 4.0.4. The recent OTA update to Jelly Bean failed with a status 7 - from my research, it's probably because I am running rooted - ?
2. I tried to return to stock state and that's where a bewildering array of stock images where suggested on other threads on this forum. The problem is; where can I find a stock ICE ROM for my i9020 device?
3. Incidentally, it would be good if somebody could provide a breakdown of model number and whether stock ROMs are interchangeable?
4. If I inadvertently try to flash an incorrect ROM, will the checks stop the process or do I run the risk of bricked device?
Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the reply.
I fixed the problem using the "international" ROM version of stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM - I flash that to unroot the phone, then applied OTA update.
Thanks again.

Hi
I know the question has probably been asked multiple time but I can't find the answer. I have a I9020T with a custom kernel which seems to blocks the stock OTA update (Android 2.3.4/GRJ22 to Android 2.3.6/GRK39F).
What is the simplest way to update, I have a full titanium backup but would prefer not to use it.
Just a link to a thread with the answer would be greatly appreciated
One way is to use Rom Manager .. scroll down to stock Rom and flash the 2.3.3 ... brings stock everything...=]
Edit: I'm using the i9020A Model... but I guess it will recognize ur model when using Rom manager

The simplest way would be to flash a rooted version of the update..........

Does anyone from Brazil (or some near country) received the ICS OTA? I'm back to 2.3.6 - just to see how the update is going here - and not even a clue about the OTA. Tried check in, clearing data of Google Framework, etc... I know I can flash the OTA but would be nice to see some better update support here
Thanks!

Ha..ha....ha...... not funny
Did you flash a zip that contains stock kernel, stock rom and stock recovery? And of course did the superuser app appear in the app drawer after first boot?

hehe im not a noob on it. i have installed the images from google ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju ) without superuser, so im on stock 2.3.6 with bootloader unlocked only and CWM touch (this shouldnt matter for OTA AFAIK).
EDIT: oops, forgot to delete the install-recovery.sh so im with stock bootloader as well

Hi! I'm from Uruguay.
First of all, lets make it clear that I'm a Big NOOB on android. My Nexus S is my first android phone.
I've a brand new Nexus S, updated with Android 2.3.6. I've tried to update over OTA, but the phone displays that the software is up to date, giving me no chance to update to ICS.
I didn't make any modification in the software of my phone.
Thanks.

I assumed you were rooted. Yes you need to root to flash. Go to Nexus S general and sticky for root guides. Easy stuff once you read up and have a go.

I went back to GB, 2.3.6, used this as a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785672
You also have to install FOTAkill.apk before the phone connects to the network, to prevent the phone from downloading and nag you to install ICS and JB.
The end result of going back to GB, is a fast, no frills phone with very good battery life.

I don't see why you have to downgrade it back to 4.0 since jellybean is better in every way.

Hi,
I am confused due to conflicting information read online. Can I apply the JB 4.1.2 update via OTA on my rooted GEDify Xoom, which currently is on 4.1.1 (build JR003H)?
Previously I've read that updates cannot be applied OTA to rooted Xooms but I've read on a post that from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 this is fine.
Thanks.

Well if I were you, I wouldn't do it without a backup! Try backing up (on your PC too!) and installing, if anything goes wrong you can try restoring with custom recovery or if it goes to the extreme you can try using fastboot. Good luck man BTW, you can use 7HeavensProjekt (my signature) to backup your data.

Hi, my device info that i can see on my phone is,
Model number : SCH-I535
Version : 4.0.4
Baseband Version : I535VRLHE
To play one of japanese game, I have changed my build.prop to galaxy nexus, and I changed them back to verizon galaxy s3 (above info) today in order to update to 4.1.1 (jelly bean i guess)
Whenever I try to update to latest version through "device info -> software update", I see a update failed message.
Can I get any helps? I have searched for a while, but couldn't really find any related issue
thanks in advance
Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?
