If you were impatient and flashed a leaked SBF like and still wants to get the official update, here is a shord guide for you. I examined the 6.36.0 sbf and the code groups for CG31 and CG39 are the same as the leaked froyos so i flashed it on my phone running CM7 and it booted After it i downloaded the OTA let it install and now i am on the official 2.2. I can change it with the CM7 anytime i want and if i have to take the phone to the service restore it to stock 2.2 So step by step
1. If you are on any leaked froyo download the latest us eclair sbf(JORDN_U3_6.36.0) from http://www.and-developers.com/sbf:defy
2. Boot into the stock recovery and wipe
3. Boot into the bootloader and install the SBF from point 1
4. Let the phone reboot then go throught the motorola blur registration then setup a wifi connection.
5. Download the OTA (settings->about) and if the download finished let it reboot and install the update.
6. Enjoy stock untouched 2.2 T mobile froyo
hi is this only for US people or will it work in UK as well?
It will work but it does not worth it. It is the same version as the one was a month ago... the nordic 177 or CM7 is better.

What is the version number after the update?
Anyone can upload nandroid and sbf ?
It came out as OTA so no sbf available. Every version is the same as it was with the test update... it is android 2.2.1 34.4.9 they did not changed anything from the test update so i am not satisfied at all...

Can i send in my defy for service with this rom?
Edit: I guess this rom is official. Read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044980 .Cool stuff. Thanks for the heads up!
I tried flashing this and now my phone wont turn on i needed this so i can return it to T-Mobile with a stock ROM, but now my phone won't even turn on. Tried removing battery and putting back in, no matter how long i press the power button, it wont even turn on. help plz
On which rom were you before? Did you wiped before flashing the sbf? I have done it myself many times.
i was on CM7 and i wiped and flashed like u said. it might be my phone.
EDIT:
well nevermind, looks like the screen is fried. it seems to have flashed but the screen wont display anything cause when i plug it in to the computer, i hear the little beep and the LED notification appears, but no display.
you cant burn the screen like that. If it beeps then you are ok. You should try flashing the nordic sbf for example, fom it i have gone fortth and back to the us froyo the way i described.
so what should you do:
1remove your battery and while putting it back hold volume up.
2 start RSD lite and connact your phone
3 if it is connected flash the sbf.
If the PC does not sees the defy then your battery is flat. Charge it with an external or try mcgyver, you cant brick defy with flashing.
Will this work if you flashed the 2.2 OTA then used a custom froyo ROM. I basically want to take this phone back to stock.
I thought we couldn't downgrade.

i was on nordic when i did the things i written. Got back the official now i have done it from other custom roms like CM7, but wipe in the stock recovery before trying it. I dont have any problem but seems like someone had so be careful.
I'll give it a shot because my nandroid restore is buggy.
Will post results.

It would be interesting if it wont work for you. Cg-s for the us eclair are same as for the froyos

Finally a way for US users to return to FULL STOCK regardless of firmware
It worked!!!
I was on barbones 1.5.1 then went to a backup nandroid version of my original stock rooted. Was kind of buggy so I decided to try this
1. Wiped everything using the stock recovery
2. Bootloader and flashed nordic 2.2.2 and "skipped" the automated setup until the phone desktop appeared then waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
3.Wiped everything using the stock recovery again
4. Bootloader and flashed 2.1 JORDN_U3_6.36.0 then pressed "start" at the motoblur screen and waited until RSD said the phone "passed".
5. I then entered my motoblur info and "skipped" everything until I was at the android desktop. After syncing was finished (waited about 5 min) I proceeded to "Download the OTA (settings->about->system updates) and after the download finishes let it reboot to install the update"
Thanks "vick33" nice find!
Note:
I could not update the kindle app without it giving me unsigned package errors. My solution was to root and uninstall the oem kindle app.
Then unroot and perform a factory reset. The oem kindle app did not restore and I was able to install the latest kindle without errors.
No other issues have been found.
*** CONFIRMERD TO WORK ***Another solution maybe to update the kindle app prior to updating the phone to 2.2 via OTA. Possible the better way to go considering it does not require rooting or removal of a system installed bloatware.
i mean the screen doesnt show anything. screen is black, idk whats wrong with it. im not saying the sbf had anything to do with it, just saying the screen went out. i just turned it in anyways, so ill be getting a new one soon.
I've been using CM7 on my Unlocked i9023 Nexus S for the last 2 months but for some reason it keeps rebooting once in 3-5 days for no aparent reason.
I've seen that ICS officially started rolling out for my phone model yesterday. Do I have to revert to stock rom before upgrading to ICS? How do I do that?
Incase I don't have to roll back, how would I install ICS?
Turning this thread into a place for other people who have a custom rom installed and no clue about how to install anything else would be mighty helpful...

mmm well i expect u know how to Flash ... as u already have installed CM7 b4 ... just install Rom manager and go to download Rom and go to the last one and download stock ICS or install the 2.3.3 update =] then install update as follows it might take a few days for it to get pushed to ur device
I actually have no memory of how I installed CM7 because I used some guide. It's like driving with a GPS; it gets you to places but when you try to get there again, you have no idea how you drove there in the first place. :/
ok so heres what you do if you want to get to the official ics 4.0.3
1.open rom manager and find download roms from there go down to stock roms.
2. find 2.3.3 and download it
3.when its done choose the last 2 boxes when prompted.
4. phone will flash back to 2.3.3
5 skip the setup and connect to wifi and go to menu settings about phone software updates
6.it will download the stock 2.3.6 which has to be flashed so flash that
7.rename ur ics file i assume u have to update.zip (if u name it update.zip it will show up as update.zip.zip so just name it update)
8 ok now 2.3.6 is up and runnig plug in and transfer the update to the root of ur sd card
9. unplug and power down
10. volume up and power to enter bootloader. choose recovery and push power
11. triangle with android so push volume up and power to enter stock recovery
12. install update.zip find it and push power
13. enjoy ics

If you are on custom rom, you shouldn't be getting OTA.
Try renaming etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak

Thank you guys. Renaming that file at first did not work but after while those annoying updates have stopped so i think it's working.
What's weird is that even after reboot they still were popping up but only after some time they stopped. Odd. Thank you guys.
Now i'm getting some weird message about:"there was an error while trying to download the data. Please try again later"
This is famous pixelrom 1.72 fully touched. I love this rom
Hmm, I've experienced this on Stock 2.3.6 ROM, the download still showing but stopped, It's annoying but, I'd try factory reset & after it completed I'm turning on the phone without sim card (to ensure there is no internet connection) & renaming the "otacerts" file. So download will not be showing & not started
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
So weird. Even the data message went away now. Many thanks guys. I'm keeping this rom.
no problem guys, glad to help

I tried and removed ICS and JB. Went back to GB, it's faster less bloated and does the job for me. GB kept downloading ICS automatically and giving me nag messages to install it.
I found the following thread, which fixed the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579154
The trick is to install FOTAKill immediately after you install another rom, before the phone connects to the network.
To install it, I used the "adb push" method from cwm recovery.
Hi all,
I've got a euro GSM nexus s and I recently erased and re-flashed the official stock ICS over, as expected after a few minutes it decided it wanted to install the jelly bean update so I let it download, verify and then reboot the phone to install.
It showed the "unpacking" screen with the box with the arrow coming out of it and the progress bar. When the progress bar got to the end it changed to the warning screen with a triangle with an exclamation mark inside it and a little android below the triangle. It has been stuck on this screen for about 25 minutes now and I'm too scared to pull the battery because I don't want to kill the phone mid-update.
Does anyone know what this screen means or what it means for the update? Has anyone had a similar problem? Is there any way to get around this? Should I just pull the battery and see what happens?
Thanks for your time,
carkey
P.S. Here is a photo of the phone with that "warning triangle" screen:
dropbox dot com /s/6uoyyqslox6s74w/IMG_20120829_233306.jpg
EDIT: I can't post outside links yet so just go to dropbox and then the "/s/..." etc.
Thanks.
EDIT 2: I eventually breathed deeply and pulled the battery, after doing so it booted back on but into ICS and now says "Your system is currently up to date" so it seems the progress bar part of the update didn't actually do the whole update and then the warning triangle bit was what was making the whole updating process stuck.
Anyone know what the warning triangle screen is for or a way around this? Is there a jelly bean rom I can flash so I can actually have a working copy of JB?
Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the reply but I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean I should flash the stock recovery, bootloader and radio over and then flash the stock ICS system?
I have the stock ICS radio and bootloader the only difference is I have clockworkmod recovery on there.
Thanks,
Carkey

Why don't you flash custom rom? The stock rom is a bit slow to be honest.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
The main reason is because it is my girlfriend's phone and she pretty much wants stock. If there is a pretty much stock-looking JB custom rom then I'd definitely go for that but I don't know enough about customs, the only one I know is cyanogenmod and that definitely doesn't look like stock.
Can you recommend a stock-looking JB custom rom? Or even a way of getting stock JB on without putting ICS on and then doing the update?
Thanks again for all the replies,
Carkey

What zip file did i flashed for stock ROM??
If you flashed real, pure stock(odexed), plz follow this..:
If euro version is i9023,(I don't know exact version..)
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9023/
This site might help you.
Download JRO03E from IMM76D(if you are stock rom and version is IMM76D)
Do wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash it via cwm6.0.1.0
(If you didn't modified system partition!!Just adding more system apps is ok, e.g Rooting)
Just hitting thanks button will be great

Cool thanks for the information!
I'm going to try this tonight, is there a chance she'll lost personal data? As in, will she have to go through the setup process again like it's a new phone? We had to do this for flashing ICS?
Also, is this much different than doing the update from inside Android as in when it comes up with "New firmware/software availavble [whatever it says]"? Is there any chance it will get stuck on the warning triangle again?
Thanks,

Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"
.
You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.
So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?
maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.
I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work
Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
