I did the OTA update to ICS and I do not like it. I would like to return my phone back to how it was before the update. A GB RUU would be prefered.. So far, I've got ROOT and S-Off. I would like to go back to HBOOT 1.5 and stock GB.

i have a rooted epic 4g on froyo and i want to update to gingerbread. Everytime I try the OTA i get a error message. I have read that it is because my phone is rooted and needs to be stock. How can I unroot my phone back to stock. Also, after i go back to stock, do i have to install froyo then gingerbread or can i just install gingerbread directly.
Does anyone know of a ROM that is basically the stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA update for Nexus S i9020T, but modified to be compatible with the Nexus S i9020A (the AT&T compatible one), gets 3G data speeds on AT&T, and is flashable through clockworkmod?

But that has several modifications to stock, such as root, and custom launchers, and flashing a radio is still required. Is there any Rom that is simply stock ICS adapted for the i9020a?
i just updated my nexus s 19020a with att to 4.0.4, the flashed the zip with the stock boatloader its working great so far, but i think you have to be in 2.3.6 to flash 4.0.4

i got some screen shots
Upgraded to 4.04 on I9020a
I actually just made an account just to be able to post.
I was surprised how easy it was to do the upgrade (i.e., no need to download any other extra files to get it to work). In an hour, I upgraded from stock 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 and then downloaded the 4.04 OTA file, copied it onto the phone, install, and it just worked! Preserved all my settings and did not have to reinstall anything.
While the eye candy is nice-- the phone somehow does not feel as snappy as it used to be.
I have been reading around for a day or so now and am a bit stuck
Here is the problem
I had to send my phone back for repair as it had stopped charging (BTW I did not return it to stock or unroot etc. Sent as was running elegancia rom, rooted s=off and supercid11111111)
They just replaced the Mobo and sent it back (4 day turn around)
It came back with GB 2.3.4.
I applied s=off from rev no problems then could not get it to boot as I also updated the firmware to 3.32 as I wanted to go back to elengancia.
Got round that by downgrading the firmware to 3.12 and was just about to apply latest firmware 1 step at a time when I was offered a OTA update to android 4.03. nice (I thought) that will sort all the firmware out for me.
Now I can not s= off as rev says there is no phone attached (adb fastboot says there is)
I cannot root either and cannot install a custom recovery???
any help please.
But is it now too late to return to Gingerbread original.Because i cant find anything on the HTC site directing to firmware updates.
And another question is it still possible to root your sensation when you have flashed to ICS 4.0
If you flash it the fully official way, assuming you didn't unlock bootloader and get S-Off: Not possible through normal means. Only if you can get S-Off there are some risky tricks to downgrade which I personally wouldn't prefer. About rooting a fully stock ICS. According to some, the most recent SuperUser versions are working.
How does the stock version feels in comparison to GB?
It just feels smother, I did had to wait for it to settle down but now its working fine.
being on a rooted phone i didn't want to wait and do all sorts of changes to get the ota working so i flashed ardh. It's my first custom rom untill now i have been using stock roms.
Glad to hear it's an improvement.
I did a search and couldnt find the answer to this.
I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G, i went ahead and did s-off, rooted, and installed an ics rom. I loved the rom, but decided to go back to stock due to radio issues i just couldn't get figured out with multiple attempts. So, i'm back to current stock firmware and am un-rooted. The only thing i haven't done is gone back to s-on. Does anyone no if that will effect me getting the OTA to ICS when released?
Thanks for the help!
No being S-off will not keep you from getting the OTA update when it gets pushed. You just have to be running the 1.50 software and have the stock recovery.
Check out this thread and follow the instructions in order to install the ICS OTA.
