Nexus s - overcoming status 7 when running OTA update to Jelly Bean

Hi Folks!
I am retuning newbie to the XDA forum but, I cut my teeth on the original XDA... But, Android is a new arena...
I have Nexus S - i9020 - no suffix, GSM, purchased in the UK.
1. I am currently running a rooted installation of ICE 4.0.4. The recent OTA update to Jelly Bean failed with a status 7 - from my research, it's probably because I am running rooted - ?
2. I tried to return to stock state and that's where a bewildering array of stock images where suggested on other threads on this forum. The problem is; where can I find a stock ICE ROM for my i9020 device?
3. Incidentally, it would be good if somebody could provide a breakdown of model number and whether stock ROMs are interchangeable?
4. If I inadvertently try to flash an incorrect ROM, will the checks stop the process or do I run the risk of bricked device?
Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the reply.
I fixed the problem using the "international" ROM version of stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM - I flash that to unroot the phone, then applied OTA update.
Thanks again.

downgrade from jb

hi i just updated my transformer to Jelly Bean from the official OTA of asus but i have random reboots and the whole system is slower and i dont like the way that my device works after the update so there is any option to downgrade without root to official ICS ?
if there is nothing to do can i just install rom or this option is blocked too ?

Sounds like an isolated issue, mine runs way better on jb. Pretty sure you can't downgrade

You could always flash back to stock to receive an OTA jelly bean update. You'll never have to though because you'll have a more stable jelly bean rom before the OTA is released. I'm on a rock solid jelly bean rom as we speak called paranoid android. Take the plunge! You'll be so happy just make sure you unlock your bootloader and get the bootloader app here not the market! I bricked my device and brought it back to life because I thought my bootloader was unlocked! It wasn't! Take care

You can update if you root. Receiving the OTA will make you loose root.
You can always root then install an app called OTA root keeper. With this app you can root and unroot with one click. You actually could keep root after receiving an OTA but not when your going from ICS to Jelly bean

There are several jelly bean roms. What are you looking for? Do you like Samsung options touchwiz brings or do you like AOSP roms like cyanogenmod?

I like samsung platform i ran cm 7 cm 9 they where al right but i always went back to miui though .but so far im real happy with the way the galaxy is set up.the real thing i miss is wifi tethering but reading seems like every one is complaining that wifi is unstable.and what does unlocking bootloader actually do .couldint unlock my DX . I see you have to root and then unlock bootloader.i was realfamilier with the DX didnt care if it got bricked i could always fix it but kind of scared of bricking this phone seems like the whole process of moding phone is different

Problem with jelly bean update

Hello guys,
Im new to this smartphone thing and this is my first smartphone. Im having a problem updating to 4.1 jelly bean.
I live in the philippines and 3 days ago was the release of jelly bean in my country. Still i dont have the update. I keep pressing software update in the settings menu but server response is always `no update available`
Now all my friends with S3 have jelly bean already. Is it possible that the update is just delayed for my phone and does it have anything to do with my build number?
I dont plan on rooting my phone yet and kies software cannot detect my phone.
Is there anthing wrong with my phone? Or do i need to be patient and wait more.
Need your advices. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OFFICIAL upgrade onto ROOTED Tab2 possible?

If one uses the TRIANGLE AWAY app to roll back the flash counter and return the Tab2 status to NORMAL, is it possible to use the Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OFFICIAL upgrade onto a ROOTED Tab2 and preserve user data?
Part 2 of the question is: Is there anyone who can report having done this successfully saving his data, and not bricking the device?
T!A

No. Flashing official will wipe everything.
