Oooops, my bad.
What ROM r u trying to install? Do they match up?
I only ask cuz some developers don't make it easy to distinguish between crespo(nexus s) And crespo4g since they make the ROM for a lot of phones.
Is this ur first ROM to flash after rooting?
Do u have back ups?
The more info the better
Thx

Sounds like a bad download or you got a ROM for the gsm nexus s

Yeah I'd try verifying the rom is for NS4G first and then if it is download again.

You must start by reading, look at the sticky threads within this forum as a starting point.....
1) sticky 1
2) sticky 2
ok, first i am new the forums but not new to the rooting game. I should've researched a little more before i went and jumped on the sprint deal. i just thought that the nexus s 4g had a much larger dev community. What i mean is, when i had my OGD it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, i mean it got soo much love and it was easy to modify. i moved to the DX after that and then jumped the NS4G for sprint. So here's my questions...
1)Can/is there a better radio to flash to improve data speeds other than the update?
2)can i flash some of the NS roms on my NS4G?
3)why is everything thru adb? i mean, why no zips and simple metamorphs?
4)a better comprehensive guide on how to use adb coming from where ive been. lol nowhere near using adb. i need this bad
5)any other kernels im not seeing?
6)will miui ever support 4G?
i just want to know as much as possible bc i have a lil baby girl and ive spent alot of time searching. i cant spent all day so i skim thru. please if there is any others questions that i shouldve asked please guide me in the right direction. lets get me up to speed as well as others. thanks guydes
There is plenty to flash for the ns4g.
The KE5 radio is the latest and by far the best. It came with the 2.3.5 ota.
There are plenty of kernels. Matr1x, netarchy, Trinity, Jame bond, just to name a few.
There are roms that are compatible with all versions of the nexus s. Read the rom descriptions.
I believe MIUI.us supports 4g but don't quote me on that.
The reason you see alot of ADB talk is because the Nexus s is considered a development phone. ADB is a more advanced and more reliable method. Of course you don't have to use ADB for everything. Most everything is made as zip files to be flashed from recovery like every other phone.
How old is your baby girl? I have a 9 month old so I can relate!
There are some really good guides in the development forum I suggest you read to become more familiar with the phone before you do something you regret. Good luck!

Unfortunately MIUI does not support 4g since there's no 4g in China.

No 4g yet but it is being worked on.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I want to run miui but my 3g is incredibly slow here. I need 4g. Are any off you guys good or familiar with adb? See i'm miss that in cyanogenmod, where you could easily go into settings and change the status bar colors and such. Now I see you have to conduct mad science routines just to change it. Hell, anyone have a very good guide to learn this stuff from.

Try this...
That should give you everything you need to root...plus links and such
I use this kernel on my stock rooted NexusS4G. The base 1 @ 1.2, tiny undervolt.
That guide is pretty helpful. I'm already rooted with deodexed stock
2.3.5 I look at that party everyday thinking it will get updated with something I haven't seen. I like the kernel to I think I might flash later after the bears game.

Mine started walking at 8 months and chasing her around is a full time job!
I recommended netarchy nexus kernel. A nice speed increase and super stable!

OK, here's a problem. Why can't u flash recovery in fastboot? I typed exactly how its spelled and its in my tools folder. I unrooted earlier today to learn adb. I'm stuck without custom recovery and su. Thoughts, I've searched for 4hours and can't find the answer.

You can flash recovery from fastboot. In fact it is the preferred method!
Make sure the recovery image is in the directory you have adb open from.

Hi All,
I have previously tried nexussense 0.2 on my Nexus S - it ran very perfectly except that the 3G is not working and if activated it caused error messages and wont stop not until you restart.
i don't want to give up my Nexus S but would like to enjoy the HTC sense...
anyone has any idea if someone's cooking a new rom for this?
Thanks in advance!
Bubby is working on one for the ns4g but maybe a n's version will be out too

this is really sad coz i enjoyed the sense on nexus S...
i came from Desire HD before Nexus S...the port to Desire HD is ok...but it will be really hard to make it work properly without noticable bugs because Sense is using Rosie framework...IMO Sense sucks eats a lot of memory and very slow...still plain is ok

Since it worked on the galaxy s in galaxysense, there's probably some libs, bins, build.prop lines, and etc files you can copy from there.

Ok, Im sorry if you've seen a million threads on this type of question.
I've done as much googling as I can and have just decided to ask this.
Has anyone tried to install a gingerbread that is said to be made for another Samsung phone on their Sidekick 4g? If so, any luck with that?
I have a 2.3.5 GB ROM downloaded, and I found an Odin for this SD4g. The only reason I havent done it is cause Im not risking with someone Else's phone.
Any insight, or even a yes or no would be helpful. Thank you.
Nay different kernals would hardbrick ur phone

Dang. Maybe I can see about some more research on this. If only it was my phone or id experiment since I got the stock firmware downloaded and ready for mishaps.
I thank you for you input.
Np I heard roms can be flashed in the android emulator??
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Nope , it won't work and there's no 2.3.5 for the SK4G so it'll brick your phone it's just a fake but you could always try as we have the Reserrectar incase your phone brick's but that's just a option which would need work so i would say no , we would need a GB kernel which nobody has yet .
Ok so I'm no pro by any means but pretty good at tinkering and troubleshooting, anyways I'm completely stumped before rooting and s-off the phone did great now after root and cm7 batterylife sucks wifi and cell service is almost non existant ...anyone have the same? Solutions? Tips? Help!! Lol

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.
