I was on 2.3.6 supercharged v5 and i wanted to get on the ICS OTA update but knew i had to fxz to 2.3.5 first so i downloaded the file, started RSD lite version 5.6.0 and turned on my phone with both volume buttons pressed down.
i entered fastboot mode and ran RSD to revert back to 2.3.5 but when i got to step 15/20 i kept getting a fail. After a few attempts i just restarted my phone and i automatically entered fastboot mode. So i restarted again while holding both volume buttons and restarted in normal mode that way. I ended up getting to the phone and noticed i was on 2.3.5 . now i'm having problems.
I connect to wifi but there are no data packets going thru so i can't do the OTA update 2.3.6 from there. I rooted the phone, installed bootstrap and tried to to a reboot recovery but it automatically took me back into fastboot mode. I tried RSD lite again to reinstall the 2.3.5 image but kept getting the fail on the same step.... any suggestions??
all will be ok if i can fully install the 2.3.5 image and work from there
finally got to 2.3.5 but wifi still not working

I want to update my nexus s to 2.3.4
I'm currently on stock 2.3.3, build number GRI40, baseband I9020XXB1. Rooted and unlocked bootloader.
My phone keeps trying to update ota - 12mb file but the update fails and gets stuck on a triangle with exclamation mark in it. I've tried booting into clockworkmod recovery and apply update from SD card but still it fails.
Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

if you want to update to 2.3.4 via OTA,you have to run stock rom,otherwise update will be fail
There is a sticky in the general forum: 2.3.4 OTA guide. the first post has a link to a full rom that should do the trick

Ok i finally figured out i recently boot looped my phone was trippin out because i couldnt get my phone to boot up it was stuck in boot loop and it kept saying invalid arguement.i didnt want to send my phone through warranty in fear that they would deny it out of desperation i tried again to down load the firmware and this is what i did after days of disspair. What you need to do is this…….1) put your phone in download mode this works with phones that are not hard bricked only those in boot loop ……2) erase all files you previously downloaded,even delete them from your recycle bin so there are no confusions with any files downloaded from your pc……3) download from androidadvices.com the 2.3.3 firmware upgrade and all of its files . Send files to your desktop then enter androidadvices.com when you open the file so that you may extract files, then upload all files as they show you on the 2.3.3 firmware instructions…..4)..... ( pay close attn to this step).....!!!after you load the firmware odin should fail in resetting your phone but what this does is enter the file necessary to reboot your phone accordingly,this gets rid of your boot loop !!!…..5) now enter a desired firmware from android advices.com i used the stable 2.3.4 firmware download to put into my phone installed it and got my phone to reset appropriately and now i have my phone back this should also work for you all boot loop stuck galaxy s 4 g phones by t mobile . i hope this works for all of you with the problem.i was scared worried and concerned but hey curiosity killed the cat, and can also put a cheshire smile on its face good luck
there is no need for Odin any longer once you have drhonks GB kernel because recovery is built in so bootlooped or soft bricked you can just go into cwm and reflash from there

Unless ofcourse, you flash a bad kernel.

Are you sure about this?
I just bootlooped my phone trying to flash icbinb, so I gave up and tried to go back to Valhalla 1.1. But then that bootlooped as well, leaving me no choice but to start from scratch and odin the leaked KG4.

I've been wondering about that because I have never seen an "update.zip" on my sdcard. What is the update.zip that it expects?
I actually hit that option by mistake trying to flash a rom, but of course it said file not found.
YOU DO NOT FLASH UPDATE.ZIP.

yes im sure about this, if you have drhonks GB kernel there is no need for ODIN unless you hard brick or go back to froyo and EVEN then you probably dont need ODIN
ever since drhonks gb kernel i havent touched ODIN since
just sayin...

Posted this in the Kies ICS update thread as well .. can anyone help?
Ok, so I'm at the Firmware upgrade and initialization screen in Kies ... it's been stuck at 2% for about 20 minutes now. I'm assuming this is a problem. Anyone have advice on what I should do? Let it go ... disconnect, restore with CWM and try again?
My config when I started:
GB 2.3.6 - rooted, cwm touch installed
(Running on Windows 7 through VMWare on a MacBook Pro if that matters)
You need to be on stock recovery for it to work.

Damn.
So ... do I pull the plug, restore to the CWM backup I ran before running the update and then flash the stock recovery on it?
Odin back to 2.3 stock and it flashes stock recovery.

Thanks man, I'll give it a rip and post an update in a bit.
ODIN hates me.
I wasn't able to flash anything with odin, it just kept failing or hanging.
Fortunately, I was able to use CWM to recover so I got back up and running on my rooted 2.3.6 setup.
I tried Kies update again, same result. Ran through the download, then hit 2% on the install and hung. Odd thing is, Odin lets me flash CWM and I was able to recover with that again. But, Odin continues to fail on ROM flashes. This just doesn't make sense.

Sorry, I mean firmware via Odin. I should be more careful with my words
Just flashed ICS one click to my infuse that was rooted and running the last Zeus ROM. Ultimate goal was rooted jellybean, but thought I had to have ICS rom to proceed. Now, stuck on "Galaxy S cyanogen(mod)". I can boot into recovery, but nothing there to restore to. I have cleared everything I can from recovery mode, (but not done the factory restore yet). It is CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4. I can also boot into download mode, and have tried to reflash ICS, but same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Wipe everything and Flash the ROM one more time.

did you double flash? Coming from gb to ics requires a double flash. Hanging at galaxy s screen us normal. from galaxy s screen you need to go back to recovery and flash again.

Definitely double flash ICS if you haven't already. If it still doesnt work, boot into download mode and flash other Gingerbread rom then start the process over. I had a similar problem and started a thread (link can be found on qkster's post above) and it turned out that the initial Gingerbread rom might have interrupted the boot process. So give other gingerbread roms a try if you're still stuck after double flashing.
So I decided to try att's stock ucli3 ota update and now every time I try and use Odin I get some error message. I tried installing goo manager from play store to install twrp recovery but it just freezes the app. What's going on?

Well I got the Odin to flash twrp 2.2.2.0 but I had to flash the 2.3.3.0 update because goo manager app would just get stuck and give me not responding error message. Basically finally got the damn thing working after multiple attempts. Sorry for waisting anybody's time.

Why goomanager or crap ?
in order to go back to fully stock, download the stock Rom from sammobile.com, extract it on your computer, connect your skyrocket after rebooting into download mode....uncheck everything from Odin just leave the auto reboot...Choose PDA and guide Odin to the tar location..and then hit go...
after it finishes, it'll reboot, let it settle down, then from the phone check for updates...it should find the ucli3 update...let it download then it will ask you to reboot..do like it says and wait for it to update...
note you'll lose EVERYTHING on your phone...backup everything before you proceed.you'll loose root and any custom recovery..Odin will just revert you phone like when when you took it out from its box when it was new...
and...do all that on your OWN risk !
