I tried to follow the instructions here: http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/ to apply the November update for my phone which is rooted.
I need some help, since it starts the update (00cb7fa66e35.OTA_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_3.26.605.1_3.21.605.1_release_sign renamed to update.zip) but then:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I Had originally rooted my device running stock with unrevoked, then updated to Froyo. I now have the nag for the second 17.7mb Update, but I forgot how I installed and got past this; I do recall going through several instructions before finding ones that worked, so I guess I'm facing that once again.
Here are some device stats:
su v2.3-ef (2.3.2.1)
ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.8
-- ROM Manager 4.3.2.4
Android 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1
Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28
Build Number 3.21.605.1 CL231334 release-keys
PRI 1.28_002
PRL 52169
ERI 5
I'm back in this condition because I attempted to install wifi calling, but then my phone stopped booting.
Essentially my device is stock, except for having root enabled so I can use wifi tether, and of course some other dilly dallying that I do but I'm still trying to keep the device pretty close to root/stock as possible.
Any help would be appreciated in pointing me back to the right guides/files.
If you need more info please let me know, I had to restore to a very old backup (my bad for not making a recent one). Very much appreciate the help getting back to current updates.
is that possible to downgrade from ice cream sandwich?

Unroot your phone, then you'll be able to flash anything you want, even 2.3.3 no matter what rom you're currently using.
Good luck!
Great! Thank you so much however I don't know how to flash it :/ (n00b)! It would be perfect I'd you could explain it to me too! Thank much you sooooo much again!!!
I'm going to follow this thread closely.
Noob here too.
I have the bone stock NS, I9020T (not rooted) and got the OTA update of ICS 4.0.3. Like the OS but there are too many apps that are either buggy or simply don't work on ICS.
I downloaded the "Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader" rom from here on XDA, renamed it to "update.zip" and copied it to the phone. When into the bootloader, selected Recovery and then selected "apply update from /sdcard" and selected "update.zip"
When trying to install the "old" rom, I get this error:
--Install /sdcard ...

I have looked all over the XDA site, Android Central and searched Google in general and can't find some simple step-by-step instructions to go back to Gingerbread.
I am SO looking forward to someone to tell me (us) what we're doing wrong and what I (we) need to do to get back to Gingerbread.
Thanks in advance from a Moderator from another (motorcycle) message board.
UPDATE: Installed fastboot and my bootloader is unlocked. Tried again to go back to GB using the steps above and I still get the same error.
good topic ... bump to top for expert advice
As a matter of fact it is not that easy my friend i also tried that method however it did not worked for me too, it gave me the same error. So as rafael said we gotta unroot our phones and we can flash it from there (but how? ) it would ve awesome if someone could help
Thanks
BRICKED!!!
OK i think i bricked my phone after unrooting it i finally got back to gingerbread but a gingerbread that is only capable of mounting and unmounting the storage after unrooting suprisingly clockworkmod recovery was gone! most of the tasks end unexpectedly such as acore, setupwizard and calendar. in android system recovery i have only 4 options: reboot the system, apply update from /sdcard and wipe various data. Besides my mac doesnt see the nexus s via ADB. I am wrecked what should i do?? Any pro tips??
First off, I want to reassure you that your phone is not "bricked". If it was bricked, it would be completely unusable, wouldn't turn on, show anything on the screen etc.
It sounds like you didn't wipe your data before installing the new ROM. This can lead to force closes and issues like what you are experiencing - I have done the same before.
It will be possible to recover your phone. You say in the Android recovery you have access to "Apply Update from SD Card" - simply use this option to flash another ROM, but this time make sure that you wipe the data beforehand. Bare in mind this will remove all personal data from your phone such as apps, contacts etc. However, this should be synced with your Google account and will re-download to your new ROM.
It would be good for another forum member to confirm this before you do anything - I don't have a Nexus S yet (getting it tomorrow ) but I am a developer for other Android handsets.
OK problem solved. After i unrooted somehow magically gingerbread 2.3.6 installed itself (or i did somehow i dont know) after the gingerbread installation i installed the clockwork mod recovery. I found the correct software (Ice Cream Sandwich for Nexus S) and installed it and the system is running silk smooth for now
Thank you everybody who helped me working this out really appriciate it
Here is what I did...

I have the same problem, how to downgrade from ICS to GINGERBREAD using only non rooted system and OTA update?
I have ICS 4.0.3 if I would like to downgrade Nexus S to 2.3.6 how to i can without root ?
The message is the same
...
assert failed: !less_than_int(1316544229. getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
...
I think that is impossible (without rooting the phone) because probably this assertion
1316544229 < getprop("ro.build.date.utc")
is every time false with condition !(date build of gingerbrade < date build of ICS)
Dear xda,
I have HTC Sensation unbranded, unrooted with software Android 2.3.4 having software version 1.50.707.2.(Pakistan/Asia)
I just downloaded the ICS 4.0 update with HTC Sense 3.6 having System upgrade version 3.32.707.10(304.85 MB).
Right after downloading I selected to install the update....Phone booted....started the upgrade process( i guess extracting) and within 20 seconds i had red coloured rectangle.... I pressed the Volume Up+Power Button to get into Android Recovery and tried installing the update from SD card.... It failed as well giving the (Status 7)... and nothing else.... I rebooted the phone and now the Update file has gone.....Right now downloading the update file again...
Any ideas what could have been the problem?
Open for suggestion.
Regards!
I followed this thread,
downloaded latest march 25th link for my XE and it worked flawlessly
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Hope that helps you too.
You need to be S-OFF if you want to manually flash an OTA file, but it should work fine OTA if you're 100% stock (this means you HAVE to have the stock recovery - if you have CWM it will not work)
Out of interest, what is the OTA file name?
Dear EddyOS,
I received the following OTA.
OTA_PYRAMID_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.32.707.10_R-1.50.707.1_release_251591ls4g359w5atckzzw.zip
Last time I installed OTA 1.50.707.1 which removed all the data on the phone. I have not installed CWR as i was waiting for ICS update.
I read somewhere on xda that someone format the SD card and then placed the update file back.. and i got installed. I see no reason to do such.
My last action would be to wipe clean the SD card as well as factory reset the phone to get started from zer0.
here is the installation message i see when i press the Volume Up +Power button, once stuck at red triangle icon.

Talked to HTC Support via Web Chat.... They suggested to Format the SD card with Fat32 and try to install.. did so and no new result.
Other option suggested by HTC Help is to factory rest... which i did... downloading the OTA ICS update in process right now.
I'll update with new findings.

The reason it's failing is it checks that all apks that were part of the RUU are 'stock' ie havent been modified. It looks like your Maps.apk has been altered in some way.
I had flashed a new battery icon when I first got the phone and when I came to update it failed as SystemUI.apk, Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk had all been modified. Took a week of head scratching and late nights to get over this problem. I eventually extracted the stock files from a clean install, restored via cwm, replaced the offending files using Root Explorer and then ran the OTA update. It was the only way to keep my data as the OTA changes the hboot and removes root. Im now waiting for Revolutionary to update so I can have nandroid backup again.
As above, sounds like you've edited/changed the Maps package
Damn it... formatting SD and resetting to factory default didn't help either... still the same problem... same error message Status 7.
Now i am clueless what to do next
Mr_Erratic could you guide me through for the process you adopted..

I have not changed anything.... what do you say.. i've formatted the SD card... rest the phone to factory...
when i purchased the phone the software version was 1.35.*** . I updated the software,,,normal thing to do... and now i have 1.50.707.1.. After factory reset.. it is still 1.50.707.1,,,, should it not be changed back to 1.35.****
same thing..
I ve same problem please help me..
I have got the same problem here. Difference is that I have rooted my HTC Sensation. I do have the stock rom though.
Yesterday my phone told me that there was an update available (android 4.0). So I downloaded this update, but it won't install. I get the android with the exclamation mark.
I do not know much about this kind of stuf, and neither do I know what information is relevant. What other information should I post?

hey Stabbler, you can check if it is Maps.apk which is failing the pact at the first place.
when you see the red triangle, press volume up+power button... see the installation log...
i guess that there is something wrong with the FOTA..
I down graded my HTC Sensation with software version 1.35.707.1 by wiping clean the sd card and phone(Rest Factory Data)
upgraded it to 1.45.707.1
The upgraded to 1.50.707.1
Neither i rooted my phone nor i install any apps from Market(didn't register the phone with gmail id)
downloaded the ICS update from scratch... and got the same annoying error "Status 7" caused by failure of Maps.apk
I've done everything by the book..... no help whatsoever.
Waiting helplessly

simplest way to un-root your device is to Factory Data Reset
Alternatively, you can try Android Recovery Manager to download your Stock ROM and flash... it is quiet simple as well... But you'll have to download all the updates to date afterwards.
I have a Telus Nexus S running the following;
Baseband Version: i9020AUCKF1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef [email protected]#1
Build Number: GRK39F
I tried to do the OTA update, and it says there are no updates.
I followed this to try to force it to find an update;
Settings --> Applications -> ALL -> Google services Framework --> clear data
2) and do the check in code in the dialer - dial (no spaces) * # * # 2 4 3 2 5 4 6 # * # *
Doesn't seem to work.
Is there any way to install the update to 4.0.4 by flashing it on the phone?
if you know how to use fastboot then you can use these images corresponding to your phone model http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#soju
and here is a guide to use fastboot to flash these images http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
or
you could use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24379505&postcount=87
So I got it updated, following the instructions I found on another site! The package contained an update.zip which was the ICS build IMM76D
This package is for the AT&T/Telus/Roger/Fido/Bell versions of the Samsung (Google) Nexus S running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build GRK39F. It will update to Android 4.0.4 build IMM76D. If you have any other version of the phone or Android - IT WILL NOT WORK! Please stop now.
Also, proceed at your own risk.
1. Place the update.zip in the root directory of your MicroSD card.
2. With your Nexus S off press and hold the volume up button and power button until your phone turns on. It will enter a recovery screen.
3. Scroll down using the volume down button and select Recovery by pressing the power button.
4. In a couple of seconds you will see a yellow triangle on your screen, now press the power + volume up button to get to the file selection screen.
5. Choose to install update from SD card using the volume up/down to move the selection and press power to select.
6. It will take about 5 minutes to patch required files and reboot. Upon reboot, it will patch more files during first launch of Android 4.0.4.
It's all working, nice and smooth, love it!
I'm helping a friend with her phone and its not working and this thread helps a lot, but stuck on one part. She is on Android Version 2.3.4, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-ge382d80. How do I get her phone updated to version 2.3.6 so i can then perform the 4.0.4 update for her?

Read the comments section, he talks about first upgrading to 2.3.6, then flashing the ICS update. Really straight forward, just make sure your phone is one of the above.
The above should work for AT&T/Telus/Roger/Fido/Bell Nexus S phones which are on 2.3.6 or follow the instructions to get to 2.3.6, then update to ICS 4.0.4.
I just tried to on my friends phone but it failed on the 2.4.6 update (the 17mb one).

Have you tried to OTA update the phone to 2.3.6? Also the phone is I9020A?
The only OTA is the 4.0.4 and it fails every time it tries to update.
The phone is GT-I9020T.

Yeah those instructions to update it will work for i9020A only
Download this ~17mb update;
http://android.clients.google.com/p...c0.signed-soju-GRK39F-from-GRJ22.7d114042.zip
Run that the same way you did earlier, it's the update for:
Model: Nexus i9020t/i9023
GRJ22 (2.3.4) TO GRK39F (2.3.6)
After you're done, then try the OTA once it's confirmed updated to 2.3.6.
She had to leave, but will be trying it tomorrow. Thanks for the help! Where are you finding these links? Ill be playing with my samsung galaxy s2 soon.
Hey there.
I tired that last package and it still failed. It gets farther, but fails after "verifying current system..."
I'm attaching a picture of it.

Root your phone and flash the update or preferably, something better than stock
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I really had some fright. Since device was rooted, upon install High on Android icon started to turn around and I received an error message. I gave up first and tried again. Here is what I got on screen:
CWM v6.0.1.1
E: invalid command argument
Finding update package
Opening upd. pckg.
Verifying upd. pckg.
E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed
Then it asked whether I would go on... and I said YES
installing update... and it went well
Then it asked whether I should keep root or not and I said YES
Upon restart I got the message that the update was failed but it didnt it is 4.1.2
But now it says Your device has been modified software updates are not available.
It was already modified (rooted) before and I received OTA Jellybean update. Why now? And wont I ever be able to receive any update from now on? If it is the case what should I do?
Although it is still found in the settings, detaching pen doesnt open shortcuts window, or any other option. Is it disabled?
