[Q] Wiping Nexus S and installing Stock 2.3.4 ROM

All,
disclaimer: I am a n00b.
I have bought a used Nexus S a while back with the Modaco ROM and ClockworkMod. I now want to wipe it clean, and go back to the stock google ROM 2.3.4. I have looked high and low, but can't seem to find instructions on how to do that!
All i've found was high level instructions: wipe phone, boot from recovery, load new rom..
Can anyone point me to a detailed guide on how to do so?
Thanks

Hmm i want to know 2 how to do that
ik have a problem nog i can sent email with gmail
but not my own mail after update 2.3.4. it dont work
@ ek0 Where dit you find the stock rom ??

Well I was hoping I would get the stock rom link in the instructions, but I also found links to the rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062

I believe you can flash stock roms from the Rom Manager app.
I'm not sure about this, but I think the stock rom might replace clockworkmod with the stock recovery when you reboot.
Also unlocking/locking the bootloader wipes everything (including the sd-card so copy everything you might want onto your computer).
You can also do it using a program called odin. Search for the thread on that.

WTF!?
I just downloaded 2.3.4 and installed it via ClockworkMod, my phone never lost any of the settings/data/apps and in the status Android Version reads 2.3.4. I'm amazed! i thought i'd have to reinstall everything, re-set everything up... what am i missing here?!
I mean not that I am complaining! this saves me a whole lotta work, but can someone explain what i'm missing?
(I didn't wipe the phone, just installed the ROM)

I got a quick quite similar question, i am on a 2.3.4, but i want to go back to my oh so awesome nscollab, is there any problems or just flash?

just flashing was okay for me, i didn't wipe so never lost any of my apps/settings. YMMV

[Q] PLEASE HELP!!! Cannot Boot Nexus S!!

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I'm quite new to this, and I'm afraid I've gotten myself somewhat stuck with my Nexus S. Yesterday I managed to root it, install superuser, as well as clockwork mod. Today I wanted to try a new rom and after some attempts, it seems I no longer have any working roms on my phone. After much searching with no luck, I turn to you guys for your expertise.
So I am able to see fast boot upon pressing the volume up and power buttons, and am certainly able to choose recovery and get into clockwork mod. Within clockwork mod I can mount USB storage, so I can transfer roms to the internal SD card. I've tried 3 or 4 roms, some say they install correctly, others not, and after trying to boot after any installation I simply get stuck at the google screen with the lock image at the bottom. The only things I have "deleted" is wiped the data and cache. I have no idea, but I think I may have erased the bootloader image or something else that I should not have that is required.
I have a i9020a model (non-4g model I believe), can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaassee help me!! I just want to get back to gingerbread 2.3.6, and my phone back up and running the way it was. I've become quite nervous after some searching with some saying a resistor mod is needed on the hardware!!

Your okay cause you can get into fastboot and recovery so don't worry. Maybe the rom you downloaded is not for your phone. Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing the rom? If yes then go into backup and restore from clockwork recovery to go back to stock.

If you can get to recovery, just flash the stock image FOR YOUR PHONE. Then you can go through and reroot..don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

So my phone is not "bricked" as they say?? I'm not in big trouble?
I did not make a nandroid backup What kind of image am I looking for and how do I install it on the phone? I know my phone is of the variant i9020a, but how am unsure of how much more specific I should be looking for.
Looking at the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
Should I try installing the Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader option?

Choose the latest 9020a version of the FULL ROM, which is what you have already have eyes on.

I've tried installing the file I mentioned above, but I get a status 7 error when trying to install, and the install is aborted.
Could I get some more assistance please? Can anyone point me to a correct, full rom? Or perhaps I'm installing it incorrectly, could someone be so kind to outline the correct steps to a proper install?
Edit: I think the above mentioned file is for a GSM model, I'm sure I have the CDMA version.
Also, somewhat good news. I managed to install the oxygen rom, but for the 4g version and installed fine with no errors, but I have no service. What does this indicate, as I still want to restore back to a factory version (non-4g) of gingerbread 2.3.6.

What CWM version do you have? Is it 3.0.0.0?
Also, if you have no service, it's likely that you downloaded a ROM with an incorrect radio.
Edit:
If you have CWM 3.0.0.0, make sure to download the latest version, found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686 (use 5023-cyan.img). You flash this the same way you did CWM previously, though in the terminal make sure you type out the 5023-cyan.img file name.
Next, download the stock ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664. Simply look for your phone version, and you'll find the correct software variant.
Maybe you've fixed your phone already; if not, I hope this helps!
I wish you the best of luck. Oh, and through problems like these, you come to learn a lot more about your phone. That's what I've found, at least.

At the thread you mentioned above there is a version with a different radio, you might want to give that one a try.
You also said that you only wiped data and cache, so maybe you should do a full wipe before. Not doing that can sometimes lead to problems.

To be brief, the phone is up and running as brand new! Thank you so very much everyone. It seems the error was with CWM, as I was able to install and boot a 4g oxygen rom on my phone, I went into rom manager, and at the bottom of the list was an option to upgrade to 5.x. Installed the CWM update, wiped everything and was able to install the factory rom, no issues, and everything works just as I remember
I have most certainly learned more about my phone, and I am going to look at it as a rather stressful learning experience rather than a mistake on my part.
But a sincere thanks to everyone once again, I posted this at like 4am here and had a response within a few minutes, I was pulling my hair out haha!

Flashing to stock rom will help you out. You can get stock roms from Internet simply by searching in Google...

ICS frustrations - rant

I have come to the conclusion that something is wrong with my phone. I have tried to install ICS....a lot. I am not exagerating when I say that I have tried every Odin install, and every ICS ROM that has more than a few positive results. Nothing will work. I am not new to flashing, I have had a Captivate, Inspire, Tab and have had no issues with those, even created a few themes and build.prop tweaks. I know what I am doing and I follow the OP instructions perfectly. The damn thing just wont take. I get the white Samsung screen, a black screen, a vibration, and a reboot. So at this point I think I am just going to stick with GB for right now and hope that either the offcial ICS update works (when available) or maybe 5.0 later this year.
Two weeks of try to make this work has run me ragged. Outside of the ICS issues though this is by far the best device I have had in terms of performance and reliablility.
Rant over.

Did u flash the uclc5 radio at any point in time?
If not what radio did u install, and did u install it before u flashed ics rom?
What recovery were u using?
Did u odin back stock in between each ics attempt? Did u use dark side wipe at all?
*#* Google dropbox, its useful.

I have not tried the uclc5 radio. I saw a bunch of posts about it being for the Note, however the ROMs I was looking at all used ucld2 and ucla4 radios, so that is what I have been trying. Even the ROMs with the radio included as part of the install didn't work. And yes, I installed the radios (when applicable) before attempting the ROM install.
Recovery is the same, most ROMs suggested a particular recovery and I attempted using the suggestion in each OP, then attempted with the newest recovery when they didn't work, so I bascially did each ROM I tried twice. I did flash back to stock before each attempt.
I do have the dark side wipe and ran it before every attempt, then followed the OP instructions to perform the normal wipe\format and dalvik wipes when directed.
What kills me is that I get the same bootloop when trying an Odin ICS. The only version of that I have not tried is the version that was extracted from the oneclick.
I even had problems getting a GB ROM to install. I did manage to get superlite 3.1 installed after several attempts. You better believe I have nandroid backups of this working install....in several places.
My other concern is that even when the official update gets pushed out that I won't be able to install that either.
I appreciate your suggestion to use uclc5 radio. If I try to install that I suppose I need to try and flash a ROM that does not come with a radio as part of the package?

Personally, I haven't had anything but trouble with superdarkside. Its an excellent tool, but for me, hasn't meshed well with ICS. You should try following seans op for Sky ICS UCLC4, without using darkside at all to change from where your at now.
Also, the modem (aside from UCLC5 for some) has no effect on the installs, I sat on Sky ICS UCLC4 with the UCLC3 modem for a couple weeks without any issues at all.
I have tried all of the CWM mods posted here, and to be honest, my favorite is the CWM touch when installed from rommanager. Seans roms seem to take better with it more than the rest. The CWM touch that is posted on the sky UCLC4 OP is good, but it has a couple minor bugs.
Are you using SuperSU or superuser? Supersu has backfired on numerous occasions for me, I always stick to superuser (and I'm sure I'll be flamed for the comment. Every skyrocket reacts differently, remember)

I will give it a shot. I would really like to get back to ICS, I got so used to it on my other phones.
I have been using superuser, haven't had a problem yet from that.

I know this may be silly but have you tried to re-download the one click leak your using? Maybe you have a bad download or a corrupt file. And, or try to use a different usb port when you flash. It seems you've tried everything and maybe you have a defective device. I started having a lot of issues recently after going from ROM to ROM so I just flashed the one-click to get back to a clean state and then carefully chose which ROM I wanted to use and carefully install it. I've always used Darkside Superwipe but since I've quit using it, things have been much smoother. What I do now is what most Devs are saying now is to wipe/factory reset multiple times and format/system multiple times. If thats not working maybe go all the way back to stock GB with k0nanes stock tar and go from there. As far as the uclc5 radio, be careful!! I'm sure you've read that it can corrupt a partition and cause issues. I did flash it once and it did work for 48 hours but I noticed signal loss so I flashed back to uclc2. Maybe I got lucky it didn't mess me up, who knows? And if you have an issue not receiving an official update, IF you do go back to the stock GB tar, do a nandroid and flash that when it comes out. Just make sure you flash the stock recovery before you take it. I have a stock GB backup on my SD, so IF and WHEN it does come out, I'll just flash the backup, flash stock recovery and take the OTA. With your constant bootloops, it seems to me its a bad download or a defective device. It seems you've tried everything. Good luck...

^^^ this makes sense. Also I was asking about the note radio to advise u against it, or u may end up screwing up ur phone even worse, and have to make a visit to my corrupt efs fix thread lol.

I will try to get a different download, but I do not think that is it. The only reason I say that is because my phone had the exact same response for EVERY ROM I have download. They can't all be bad files. I have tried on two different PCs with three different USB cables. Good thought though, I have had bad downloads before. I am going to keep trying as the ROMs are updated and hope that I figure out what is going on, and hope that I can get the official update at some point. Then I will just root it and get rid of the bloat myself if I have to
I am going to stay away from the L5 radio, not worth the hassle.

On a side note, if installing a rom from the site, remember, most will work with the "base"
But need to reset/full boot before "updating".. dont just flash rom and flash update then reboot

I had a hard time with ICS as well with different problems, all I can say is it disproves the definition of insanity. Trying the same things over and over again will eventually make it work!
Hang in there, it's worth it. Whenever you do get the ODIN one click to work I highly recommend flashing Raider03's SMOOTHIE ROM. Awesome battery life and extremely "SMOOTH"! But be prepared for a few FCs and bugs with all of the ICS ROMS for now!

[GUIDE] How to get v21y over the air on G2x

UPDATE 6-15-2012: i just wanted to update the beginning of this post to make it a little clearer, the original text is below
to get the v21y base band on your phone over the air, you have to go back to stock
to do this you need a stock rom, either your own backup or the one from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 (the first and second link is a stock 2.3.3 nandroid which is a zip you extract on your pc and run flash.bat from inside that folder)
if you need the drivers, download the third link.
follow the steps in that thread, it works
if you have your own stock nandroid, just boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and restore it (after you backup whats on your phone now)
then reboot your phone
after restoring either your stock nandroid or the one from the post above, shut your phone off and remove the battery and use NVFlash to restore the stock recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
reboot your phone
now that you have your phone like it was from the beginning you can go to System Settings/About Phone and click on Software Update. this should pull down the updated Gingerbread version 2.3.4 and the new baseband v21y. IT WILL OVERWRITE YOUR PHONE AND WILL BE PLAIN STOCK
it takes a few minutes so be patient
once it is done and it rebooted your phone you will have to put ClockworkMod Recovery back on it using NVFlash. then you can flash other roms to your phone
please keep in mind that there is a bluetooth issue with both GB and ICS roms on this baseband and that only a few roms actually support v21y. Owain has written an update file that you flash to get support on any rom with v21y, supposedly it does work on any rom (GB or ICS) but i have not tested it, so read up and test if you want.
as of CM7 RC3 all CM7 builds support v21y
please thank the owners of the threads linked above, their methods worked flawlessly for me and i hope they work for you as well. this was a very easy way for me to get the new baseband. good luck!
original post------------------------------------------------------------------------
i was having a heck of a time trying to get the new baseband installed on my phone. i had all the stuff downloaded and all the instructions ready, had the KDZ file, the LG tool, everything...but i could not get anything to work
so what did work?
well using CWM Recovery i restored my stock backup i had made when i first got the phone (best to save this off the phone as well in a safe place) and then using NVFlash i put the stock recovery back on it
once that was done and i was booted back into stock you can go into the About Phone and choose Software Update (or whatever its called) and check for an update. it found one and proceeded to download a 30meg file. asked if i wanted to apply the update, installed it, and rebooted into a nice shiny new 2.3.4 GB setup with v21y and the new baseband installed!
the CM7 nightly build (June 3) is working great. getting ready to try a couple of others (Buru, EB, Genesis (although i was having a problem there, see that thread))
so its only been one day on it but so far calls are good, gps lock is fast, overall loving my phone even more than before!!

Great that the OTA worked for you, I left my phone stock the whole week it was mentioned about sending it and I checked the software update and it always told me the software update check failed/timed out lol

I am extremely pleased with the update.
I had been running a rooted stock ROM + CWM Recovery. I had been dismissing the update notice for weeks now. Finally, earlier this week I flashed back the stock recovery and let the OTA proceed.
Current uptime: 67:59:06
I haven't gone a full day without either a random reboot or a sleep of death in a LONG time.

Did mine the other way not over the air. Then did the sound update. Also running CM7 and all has been fine.

you are on stock rom AND stock recovery? data connections good otherwise?

A little clarification, if I may...
Could I just flash the stock 2.3.3 nandroid from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 to bring myself back to "stock" then, using NVFlash that's already on my computer from when I first rooted my phone, flash it back to stock recovery? After that, try the OTA to get myself to 2.3.4 or, if that doesn't work, use the LG Updater tool? Then just root my phone again and go back to enjoying custom ROMs?
Seems like it would be easier and one step less if I get the nandroid from that thread rather than following the link in the OP and having to extract something on my computer.

yes that will work as well and whether you get a stock rom from the link i posted or the one you posted makes no difference this was just how i did it

Hey, thanks! I've been wanting to update my BB ever since it became compatible with the new ROMs, just haven't been able to set aside the time to be able to do that. Just wanted to make sure I had it right before I attempted.
Your steps sounded easy and straight forward; it just never hurts makes sure!
Thanks again, bro.

you're welcome
there is a bluetooth issue with all roms and the new BB so if you use BT you might want to stick with the stock 2.3.4 that you will get with the upgrade. lots of devs are working on that issue so hopefully it wont be long

suggestions?
I followed the instructions in the first post, and now am back on the stock rom (21e, july 15 2011). However, when I go to try the software update, I get the following message: "current version is the latest version." Is there another way to get the new 21y baseband?

[Q] Lost and need help please

I recently rooted and started applying roms to my nexus s. Everything was going fine until my network data stopped working.
Have tried to unroot and return to stock but cant seem to get it right. whenever I try to use clockwork recovery any update zip i apply fails. Im currently on:
version - 2.3.1
baseband - 19020AUCKF1
kernal - 2.6.35.7-g7f1638a [email protected](hash sybol that isent on my mac keyboard)1
build - GRH7
I am based in the UK and think nthat my radio could be wrong?
When I factory reset in 2.3.1 i get the official update to 4.4 which dowloads, verifies then on installation stops and wont complete.
I am confussed with all the terminoligy and find the info on here overwelming to follow correctly.
on another forum i got the response that if i dont understand the process then I shouldent be doing this. Fact is I thought I did know what I was doing until it went wrong.
Could somebody be good enough to help me through this so I can restore my nexus s to working order please?

Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
Check your phone model, behind the battery. You probably have a gt-i9020 since you are in the UK.
Probably you need to flash the correct radio. What's a good choice? If you do have 9020, anything in the list with kb3 in it.
Kb3 has no limit to how fast it can upload data, which can be a benefit depending on how you use your phone. Most people would choose kl1 which is the most recent.
Download and flash in cwm recovery. Reboot.
Let me know if that works for you.

I am based in the UK and think nthat my radio could be wrong?
When I factory reset in 2.3.1 i get the official update to 4.4 which dowloads, verifies then on installation stops and wont complete.
I am confussed with all the terminoligy and find the info on here overwelming to follow correctly.
on another forum i got the response that if i dont understand the process then I shouldent be doing this. Fact is I thought I did know what I was doing until it went wrong.
Could somebody be good enough to help me through this so I can restore my nexus s to working order please?
