Thanks to dsixda, an update.zip file is created that, on installation through clockworkmod, will return I9020a's to stock conditions:
system: 2.3.3 build GRI54
kernel: 2.6.35.7-g1d030a7 [email protected] #1
radio/baseband: I9020AUCB2
Link http://www.mediafire.com/?fey8wvmvlhh12uj
Original Link http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph... S&PHPSESSID=9dc0c107b878587d1e0b21ec1e3130ef
I9020A_GRI54_stock_update_with_radio.zip

Recovery is flashed through fastboot
Thanks CraneGuy for radio img and sdixda for everything
[Original Post]
Hello,
My Nexus S I9020a is my first android, so I am new to rooting and flashing.
with the help of this awesome forum I got through with it all and I happily running cm7, so Thank you all.
However, I had a minor set-back... I didn't know about making a nandroid backup before all so I can retain it to its oem state.
If there is someone out there who can provide a link to his i9020a stock back up or there is a stock 2.3.3 out there that is for i9020a.. I would be really grateful.
my original stock info:
Build Number: GRI54
Baseband version: I9020UCKB2 -- now its NO DGSXXKB1 or I9020XXKB1 in bootloader menu
Bootloader: I9020XXKA3 -- I don't think I flashed bootloader at any step since this remains the same
CARRIER INFO: ATT
I did try installing the one in REF post in development, but build number is GRI40 and rebooting in recovery gives triangle exclamation droid.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I am in the same boat. I lost my 3G too. Did you find the stock rom yet?

That one is easy to fix, just go back into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery...

Thank you for your reply, but this is not what I am looking for as I want stock recovery not clockworkmod. I have that one in the link you provided and without it I would not have been able to install a custom ROM.

I can provide you with a nandroid backup of the stock I9020A system.img and boot.img (untouched), but unfortunately I forgot to dump the stock recovery and radio from a shell.

Thank you for replying. I won't be that much worried about radio as xxb1/3 somehow has better reception, I even get H most of the time now instead of 3G as when I first had the phone.
Did you obtain those files through CWM? just asking to know in future how do I go about keeping my stock images.
I appreciate your contribution to solve the issue I am facing.
Thanks

Yes I used CWM recovery. I just flashed that immediately after unlocking bootloader. I didn't root the device beforehand, so when I made a Nandroid backup it was stock.
I can upload it later, going to bed now.
PS. For dumping recovery.img, one way is to use the "dd" command in a shell (along with other parameters specifying the mount location of the image), but you need to be rooted. There are guides online, you can find them in Google search. Haven't experimented with the Nexus S yet but I had done it successfully in the past with others.
Thanks and have a have a great night
Here's the backup, you'll find the link at this site:

Thank you for your quick response and the files!
After downloading the zip file file i md5sum and it matched what is on the site, however when i try to restore using clockmod it says MD5 MISMATCH. I checked the files once they are on sdcard having the same md5 and it is so. I don't know what else I can do

If required, I can make this into a flashable zip so that it can be installed as a ROM.
I solved the issue and now I have my stock GRI54 back!
Thank you!!
the issue was your recovery folder didn't have nandroid.md5 file so I created one and calculated for each file and saved.
Thanks again!

That's strange, when I backed it up there was no nandroid.md5. Can you zip up the md5 and post it here? I could upload the corrected zip.
Edit: I guess I could use this method to calculate md5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
just take the file out of the attached zip and put it in your recovery folder then zip and upload

I want to flash over to Slim ICS and try that out for a little bit but I want to continue using TWRP instead of CWM. I know I should be able to inject TWRP through the recovery bit I'm not sure how. Any help?

To use the newest TWRP 2.2 you will need to pull the boot.img from aokp and make sure to pull the bcm4329.ko file to. Then using heimdall cmd flash the boot.img and then push the bcm4329.ko file.
The reason is because FB removed the inject TWRP toggle in the new versions.

That is the older version of TWRP. It is a option, I just prefer the newest version it has the quirks ironed out.
I still haven't tested using the GB/CM7 twrp zip that you linked him to in ICS roms. I'll probably get around to making a twrp 2.2/ICS zip for you guys to stay on the safe side since it's easy to get the ramdisk image from an AOKP build. I just need to do it when I'm home.

Actually that one works on all the ICS roms. I first tried it on CM9 then I realized it should work on all of them so I tried and it has not once failed on me. The only downside is that its a older twrp but still good.

Unzip the zip with winrar or whatever you use. Pull the boot.img over to your comp. Then flash it with heimdall.
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
Or you could be reallllllllly nice to FB and ask him to make a CWM flashable of the new version of TWRP

I am far from a developer but I pulled the stock kernel for JSS15J, decompiled it and under "default.prop" edit
Code:
ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
and
Code:
ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
(probably super unsafe)
Recompiled and this booted just fine on my N7(2013), although size did change dramatically?
Anyway, didn't do any other wizardry, as I really don't know any. Hence, why I am attaching the stock kernel as well for actual wizards to perform on.

That's really helpful. Could you also pull the stock recovery if you still have it? The one that's floating around on xda is TWRP masquerading as stock.

It looks like I need root to do this and, of course, to gain root I have to flash a custom recovery SO I think we're out of luck until Google posts factory images.

Just an FYI that you can access the stock recovery after rooting. The 'file' you mentioned: "recovery-from-boot.p" causes your custom recovery to revert back to stock after a reboot. If you've rooted a Nexus you may recall that one of the first steps is to change that file to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak" (or similar) so that your system will retain the custom recovery. My point is that you can root with TWRP or CWM, reboot and you'll revert back to the stock recovery. (You don't lose root, just the custom recovery). Pull the stock recovery.img and then flash your preferred custom recovery again. The 2nd time you'll want to change the file to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak" so that you don't revert back to stock again. Make Sense?

You can also just BOOT into recovery w/o flashing it (fastboot boot recovery <blah.img>. I did this with TWRP and backed up the device's system/boot/recovery.
I assume that would have backed up the original recovery right?

It allows ADB to run as root on the devices.
This is really a useful feature for Developers because it allows simplier access to the file system... For Example...
With an unsecure image you can do... "ADB Pulls" and pull files from the /data/ partition on the device (I forget if you can do that or not on a secure image)
But you can also do ADB push which to me is essential because I may be working on, lets say, a custom battery mod or a customer XXXXXXX. And instead of putting it in a flashable zip and flashing it each time I can use an "ADB push" command to push the file where I want it.
Unsecure may not do much for average Joe building ROMS but this is quintessential for developers.
Got it? Good!

Last thing since you came from Franco kernel (the following procedure is specific):
The Gingerbread Man said:
Return to stock romz
Franco's kernel changes these system files below, so to change them back you can remove the .bak extension, or fastboot system.IMG and boot.IMG from a Google factory image which is probably easier and faster.
1 - Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so
2 - Rename /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh
3 - Reboot to the boot loader and flash stock Kernel by downloading the Nexus images and then fastboot flash boot boot.img

With a file explorer, directly from your phone, (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer, etc...) follow the path to the files in point 1 and 2, rename the files and save. Then reboot in recovery and flash the stock kernel if you want to flash it via recovery (equal to step 3).
If you are not used with this kind of stuff (modify system files by yourself), flash the system.img and boot.img by following the link I provided above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701).

sorry if this doesn't quite belong here but I was curious to go back just to stock kernel, not completely stock itself. Could anyone link me to a good step by step for me to do this? Do i use adbfastboot the boot.img only? Im just a a little confused..
Sorry I am still new and learning. Thanks for any help!
Download the relevant kernel to your device from here.
Reboot to recovery
Install the zip you just downloaded
This stuff tends to be a lot simpler than you'd expect, tbh.

Download the factory images from Google : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkot49h
Extract the boot.img and flash it via fastboot.. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Make sure your on stock rom before you flash it..

Fastboot, you flash with fastboot and yes the kernel image is boot.img. You should probably also reflash your ROM (system.img if you're on the stock ROM) as many custom kernels also modify the system partition.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
I am indeed on stock rom. To flash the system.img is pretty much the same as the boot.img yes?

Thank you brother
And just to add to my noobness.. Returning to stock kernel and or rom doesn't wipe any files on the phone correct? Ie picture data etc....?

As long as you don't flash the userdata.img, you are fine!
If you are using the flashall script then remove the -w flag and you're good to go!

I plan on flashing sys and boot!
And so sorry but what do you mean the flashall srcipt?
Would that be basically flashing everything to stock?
Sorry for such dumb questions

So no worries since you don't flash all (you use the "Method2" from the link I posted above), about the "flash-all.sh" file, when you open the factory image file, you have this script, more info here about the "-w" to delete: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51949577&postcount=4.

thanks for you help my brother. Just another question.. If I have a nandroidbackup on the computer that I made before I installed my custom kernel, could you somehow use that to get back to the stock kernel? Is that something...or I am just asking the most ridiculous questions?
It seems the more I read, the less I am confident with adb, flashing, backups etc.... :S

If want the stock kernel download the factory images from google and flash the boot.img via fastboot. That's the easiest way.
If you still want to use nandroid backup then copy the nandroid backup to the correct location... Head over to Philz Touch recovery and use the custom restore option by which you can select only the "boot" and "system" partition. But I haven't tried doing it so can't say whether it will work or not. However, technically it should work. I have no idea how to do this using TWRP though as I haven't used it much.
