If there are any differences between ics and jb stock recovery? I want to install small update which i got but I don't know if i can replace twrp with recovery_signed.img which is attached to forum and which is dedicated to ics. If no can anyone give me a link to jb stock recovery?

So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

Click to collapse
flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
With all the new JB roms and custom kernels based of the JB OTA I want to give them a shot. I'm confused on what I need to do since I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader on ICS but running the Black Bean JB Rom. I read Ok need to go up date to JB bootloader and then flash custom JB recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks!

It's really simple.
Download your asus jb firmware from their site.
Run voodoo ota keeper to keep root for later
Unzip it and flash the zip extracted in your custom recovery as you would with any custom Rom
Reboot
Install custom recovery again via fast boot or re-enable root from voodoonand use goo manager to install your recovery
There is also a flashable version of super user you can use to get root back as well.
Hi All,
I have read the stickies, trolled through dozens of threads and posts, but I can't seem to get a definitive answer to my problem / question.
Current status:
TWRP 2.2.2.0 installed
Unlocked Bootloader
Custom JB Kernel [JB Unsecured I think??] installed
JB Odexed Custom ROM Installed
Hboot 1.14.0002 on device
My question is this:
I want to go back to stock JB or as close to it as possible. The current JB ROM is supposed to be stock, but is a little buggy, in that the stock dialler does not have smart dial, and some other small annoyances [all credit to the dev though, fantastic job!!]
Anyone willing to help me out?
Oh, and for some reason my adb / fastboot drivers are acting up [device not detected, although was working fine a couple of days ago before I started flashing roms!], so I'll need to fix these first somehow!
Tanks

What custom ROM are you on? You sure its a custom, and not the stock rooted odexed JB ROM?
If you are really on a custom, just flash a stock rooted JB ROM from Development. I don't see a benefit in installing an official OTA or RUU.
I'm not being able to flash recent roms. I keep getting error status 7. For JB 4.2 and later, I can't flash them. I can flash rom 4.1.2 and earlier.
I'm on 3.18 firmware (latest i think). unlocked and rooted. BUT I have S-ON, is that the problem? If I S-Off. will I be able to flash recent roms? I want kitkat on my phone Sorry im noob
What recovery version are you using?

2.5.0.0 i think, ye. that's it. but I tried with both CWM and TWRP, non work. I suppose S-off is the problem right?
Your recovery is the problem. If you want to flash KitKat ROMs you need the modified TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001, you'll find that in our Original Android Development section. Any other ROM you want the official TWRP 2.6 which you'll find here:
