So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
I have rooted Neo V Gingerbread. I am going to unlock the bootloader so that I can flash custom ROM like MIUI or Paranoid Android.
I got 2 questions
1) Is Unlocking Bootloader by official technique is safe?
2) Can I directly go from Gingerbread to Jellybean? Or do I have to factory reset my phone first(Have backed up my ROM using CWM), then go to ICS first and then flash Jellybean ROM?
Help a Noob please! Thnx

1) It usually is, but you're doing it at your own risk. Only continue if you know what you're doing.
2) I think you can go to it directly, though I'm not 100% sure.

found my answer
I've got 3 Xoom 4Gs that I've installed custom recoveries on, but they keep getting the notification to update. is there anyway to install the update in a custom recovery or does anyone have the stock recovery so i can flash the update. I downloaded one from another thread that is for 4.0.4 but i don't know if a recovery for a wifi version will work on a 4g version.
I really want to return to back stock non-rooted 4.0.4 P3100XWBLH3 but I hate to use ODIN.
so did anybody know is there PHILZ TOUCH RECOVERY flashable zip of 4.0.4
I had Tab 2 7" GT-P3100
