Hi !
i just bought a used samsung galaxy nexus s . When i bought the phone its Android version was 2.3.1 and build was GRH78. I search alot but every time save the update file in SD card and run it from the recovery menu some error used to appear. How after alot of search on the internet i found one update file which was from GRH78 (Android 2.3.1) to GRH78C (Android 2.3.2). This upgrade was successful.
But now again i am searching for the upgrade file to update my phone to Android 4.0.4 . I found update file from GRH78c to latest build but none of them is working on my phone.

Is it unlocked? Rooted?
Yes, your device is completely capable of flashing and upgrading to Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.4) and even Jelly Bean (4.1.2).
While there are two ways to do that but since you already mentioned that you want to use Custom ROMs available on net, then this guide is the solution to it.
It will help you unlock your bootloader and Install a custom Recovery which in turn will enable you to flash custom ROMs on your device.
You can choose a Custom ROM which meets your requirements available here in Nexus S Android Development Section.

Hi all,
I have been expereinced many issues whenever I tried to update my firmware to the newer version using the Kies for Mac. I encounterd your version is still up-to-date when I tried to install using my older desktop.
The device has not been "rooted" and I would prefer to stick to the Androit ROM. The build number now is ECLAIR DTJG4 and kernel is 2.6.29 root
I just got my new new notebook and running XP OS. To ensure a clean and smooth steps, can someone advise me the correct steps (software & sequence fo events) to install to achieve the outcome. I am not sure if I can go straight to Ver 3.0 or have to update one by one and if newer ROM is required.
Thank you.
Hi!
I recently acquired a B60 serial, TF101 that has the android version 3.1 ; with build number HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711
The system is prompting for an update , I believe it is for the 3.2 upgrade, which I didn't do yet.
I am very much interested in getting custom firm ware installed.
I had an opportunity to read the forum, and just needed directions in the right way:
1. Should I upgrade to the V8.6.5.9 (Android 3.2) from the ASUS website or the OVA that the system is prompting me to do so? I am just concerned with the following statement from ASUS website: ※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version .... I believe this means, I can't downgrade after?
2. I can use the Universal Rooting Tool that is discussed on this forum, but I believe in that case I need to do #1 above, is that correct? or Can I do it with the stock firmware that I have?
3. the custom firmware I am interested in is the Android Revolution ; it says it requires: Clockworkmod Recovery - using the #2 mentioned above, will it be installed automatically?
Thanks.
P.S. Let me know anything else that I have missed.
I am trying to install the official ICS update to my Nexus S.
I have done a factory reset on the phone and the specs are:
Android Version 2.3.6
Build : GRK39F
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
When I try to update it it says it failed verification and aborts.
I downloaded what i believe is the official update file and moved it to the internal storage without modifying it at all.
any body have any ideas ?
Thanks In Advance

Dear all,
I'm sorry if it is not the good place to ask help but i search a solution on forum, blog, google... and i'm blocked.
I have a samsung nexus s which coulnd't boot. It stay with "Google" on screen.
I try to find the recevory mod, in order to make a factory reboot, but the recovery mod is broken also. The little android robot is open with a red exclamation mark.
I have this information on the boot menu :
Fastboot mode
Product Name : HERRING
HW Version : REV 52
Bootloader version : I9020XXLC2
Baseband version : I9020XXKI1
Carrier Info : EUR
SERIAL number : xxxxxxx
Lock State : Locked
I try a method with ODIN, i try to root the phone, but the system is shut. ODIN failed, the root also failed even if the phone is half reconized with the kies samsung driver.
So i don't know what to do now... lose the information isn't a problem, i just want a working phone.
Someone could help me?
Thanks a lot,
pS: i'm french, sorry for my english
And i did a mistake first time, in posting in the wrong section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078419
Download this: http://goo.gl/0K6eh then install it.
Instructions:
1. Select the CORRECT device and build (what you are currently running) <-- Select the EXACT device model. For example: i9023, i9020A, etc.
2. Configure your drivers if you haven’t already using the driver guide (If you aren’t sure use Step 3 of the driver guide to test your drivers).
3. If you need to backup your important data.
4. Unlock your device
5. Root your device
*Try out the other toolkit features by pressing the buttons, each button explains what it does first. So the best way to get familiar with the toolkit is simply to press the buttons and read what it says.

Before you muck about with your phone, go here and read up. You do need some basic info so you have less chance of surprising yourself if something goes wrong. It has excellent info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/help/frequently-questions-att-lg-g3-d850-t2958216
Following that, fundamentally, I'd do a clean install. You will lose your phones data, unless you save via Titanium, or the like. You can get the LP files, et al, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3059610
1. unlock the phone via PC/ADB, then adb flash TWRP.
2. reboot phone, copy following files to phones external SD card (hope you have one)
modem
ROM
SuperSu
TWRP (already done but I do it anyway)
3. reboot to recovery and select the 4 files above from the install menu. I use the order above and works perfectly. Slide to install. Reboot into your system after the install. The initial install is very quick, after you reboot your phone to system, it will take some time to fully finish the install, 10 minutes or so.
4. Done. You will not have a direct menu to enter recovery after that, but get "Quick Boot" from PS, and that solves that.
This is how I've been doing LP, and no issues. I tried a dirty install, and had the same functionality as a clean install, except the dirty install had an Antutu of 23K. Previous I had an Antutu of 35-36K on KK. With a clean install on LP I have an about 40K.

HI, Did you upgrade to android 5.0 at the end as I'm stuck in the same situation?
