Hi guys, I just bought an Nexus S for my girlfriend trough swappa, I have not received it yet but Im pretty sure it does not has the latest version of cwmr installed, which would be the easiest method in order to update its recovery? Im thinking on something like the galaxy nexus toolkit, that with only one click this procedure can be done...
Any advices?
Thank you very much.

You've just answered your question. But you can also do: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
would you please link me to the nexus S toolkit?
I saw one on youtube but it appears that you have to complete all steps before you can install the recovery, you have to root your phone with it first and mine is already rooted...
You can try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544940
But I still recommend the fastboot method.

Can I use the zip file uploades by Phone_user, on post #9? the one that is flashable trough the old CWMR?
phone_user said:
Here, just made that using Brainmaster's zip flash in the old CWM

I'm not quite sure what it does, but I assume it just flashes the recovery. In theory you could just replace the old Cwm image in there with the new one (as the one included in the zip may be outdated).
But why not do it via fastboot in the computer?

Hi, I'm new here. I've searched but I think there's no answer to this question. This is my first xda thread.
So, here is the question: how should I root ns with official ICS rom?
I was using CM7 build for quite a few days. Just two hours ago, I went back to official 2.3.6 and upgraded to 4.0.3. My ns model is i9023.
I used fastboot to flash 5.0.2.0 CWM recovery to ns, and I was able to use the CWMr. Then I installed su.zip (from clockworkmod.com). After reboot I can see SuperUser there now, but still get no root access.
I think I should use a newer version of su.zip? I viewed one Galaxy Nexus rooting tutorial, in that tutorial they used the same su.zip and it worked. Any one can help?
you need to use the fastboot method as on the sticky

I think the regular rooting process is:
1.Unlock the device (already unlocked)
2.Use fastboot to flash CWM recovery
3.Boot into recovery and flash su
I did all of these, so maybe su package is the problem?
Same thing here.

The regular root process doesn't seem to work for ICS. Depending on which version of the su package installed, you would get different error messages on the terminal when you execute $su.
this update sucks. now im stuck with a slow nexus with no root no color correction hack and no root. the nexus is now another pos phone. ot happy with this BS
You are not stuck with nothing. Your phone has a unlocked boot loader. Flash what you want.

1.what is the easiest way to root my device? just bought it on sunday and took a update then. have searched online and couldnt find a clear way,
2. is there a way to relock the bootloader? i have already unlocked it in preperation for rooting
thank you guys
if you are already unlocked easiest way is to flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Just look in the thread of your desired Recovery.
Than just flash the rom you like via recovery.
I would recommend Hydro or the new JB Rom from Term
Where would i find the threads for the custom recoveries? Thanks for the quick answer by the way

If you are rooted, go and download goomanager from the play store and use it to flash TWRP. Much quicker and easier than doing it through fastboot.

Slim1991 did just that and it worked, despite having tried to install the Endeavor recovery previously (I'm surprised that it worked). Of course, there is no way you would no that, since he cross posted to another thread:

I have a strange problem. A while ago I successfully unlocked my infinity. That was before the jb update. I also successfully flashed custom recoveries and several roms. Didn't ran into any problems. When the official jb update came out, I restored original recovery and flashed a stock ics Rom, and after that successfully applied the jb update. The second update .30 also went smooth. I used the update file from Asus servers. Now I want to flash a custom recovery again in order to flash cleanrom. In adb I see my device and I can reboot with fastboot and stuff. So I think my drivers are ok. However as soon as I start to flash recovery.img it just says sending recovery and that's it. It just hangs there. Nothing happens. I tried everything, from changing usb ports and uninstalling drivers... It just can't send the recovery img. I use Scott's script to flash the recovery.blob. any ideas?

I can't use it because it needs root, and as long as I don't have a custom recovery I'm unable to root my stock jellybean Rom. Or is there already another way to root?

Are you saying you can not get TWRP or CWM installed ? or are you saying you do have one installed but no root ?
If it is the latter then can't you just flash a custom rom that has root built in ( like Baked ) then go back to twrp and now with root you can wipe and flash stock. ? I am sorry if I am miss understanding your question. But at least you get a free 'bump'

Thats correct, i am trying to get custom recovery, after that root is no problem.
Edit: i just installed a clean windows 8 installation. So no old drivers left behind or other weird stuff. I put my transformer in fastboot mode, driver is automatically installed, i see it under device manager. Stillno luck.... it hangs saying sending recovery.... no error messages. My previous attempt was under win7.

Glenner, did you make sure you have the img file in the same folder as you fastboot/adb command files?
If it says "sending recovery", I'd assume that it found the local file.
I don't use Windows, but I always read about driver issues in Windows. Maybe the auto-installed driver is wrong? Does "fastboot devices" return question marks or nothing?
i'm happy to report that finally it worked! seemed something strange with drivers/USB ports after all. Despite i already changed USB ports under my win 7 installation, i tried it again under win8, and suddenly it worked. I didn't reinstall the drivers or something, all went automatically. So the strange issues are driver issues for sure. Anyway, currently happy running cleanrom 2.3
thanks for all your suggestions and thinking along.....

This is just the Grouper KRT16S OTA package from Google. Bugfixes, 1.4Mb in size. ZIP file attached. I am not your tech support to get ADB working on you laptop or why your Nexus 7 does weird things after installing so don't be surprised if I ignore questions that can be answered by searching.

The stock recovery does not look for a zip on the device without a command file telling it there is one present to flash.

The OTA process works with TWRP but reloads stock recovery AND removes root. No problem getting both back through the usual methods.

I'm going to say some things not to be mean or rude but to keep you out of trouble. It is not installing because you do not know what you are doing and have not taken the initiative to learn some basics for yourself. Except for the fact you are not on the correct ROM to install this update in the first place, I would say losing root and TWRP would be the best thing for now.
You are going screw up your device and have no idea how to fix it yourself or even what information to provide for others to help you fix it. Your best bet would to be restoring to stock with a factory image and not screw around until you are up to speed.
There are ton of FAQ's and guides on this site in the general sections. Learn how to install and use ADB and fastboot. Read up on the different types up zip files and how they are installed. If you are using a one click, understand what ADB or fastboot commands are going on behind the scenes and exactly what it is pushing to your device.
Once you have a general understanding of things, please come and play around as much as you want. If you do something that causes a bootloop you will at least know how to recover your device.

A 5.4Mb recovery is not going to fit in a 1.4Mb zip file. Also see post 3, 4 and 8. Root and TWRP or CWM will remain intact. Bad information is worse than no information.

Not trying to give bad info just relating my personal experience. You are correct that a full recovery image file at 5.4mb could not fit, even zipped, in a 1.4mb update, however, a full recovery image file is not needed to change the behavior of things. Root and the ability to boot back into TWRP were lost during my update process. It was easily corrected but it did happen. Others have reported a different experience. That was mine.
A good scientist reports ALL observations and reserves judgement until a complete data set is established.
