[Q] ota ICS update problem?

Hi all, I'm having a problem trying to update to ICS!
Here's my phones details before I explain:
1: Samsung Google Nexus S GT-I9020/GSM
2:Running NSCollab 1.0.60
3: Baseband=I9020XXKB1
4: Franco Kernel 2.6.35
First off I'm not sure if my phone can house the ICS update because I'm not 100% sure of my model (checked box & contents & under battery!) ???
I understood that you needed to be on android stock GB 2.36 before you could update, so this is what I did! I lost my signal/network & couldn't connect or even see the vodafone network I'm on so I reverted back to my NSCollab 1.0.60 nandroid backup, only to find the same no signal/network problem! I tried again (back to stock 2.36, still no signal!) powered off, used fastboot to flash cwm 5.0.20 recovery image, then tried to update ota ICS 4.03 after renaming to update.zip! (previousle ported to sd/card!) It worked but got stuck on ICS boot animation for nearly 20 min's before I had to pull battery! I retried a few times, but kept getting 07 errors! So then, back to bloody NSCollab 1.0.60 nandroid backup "AGAIN" , Only to spend half the day trawling google, here & numerous sites to restore my signal/network again, but this time having to get back my original imei, as after repairing it produced a 00............0000 generic one?? Got it up & running now with my baseband showing (as above!), original/true imei & signal/network!
So the questions are these: 1: Can the ota ICS update available now go on my model nexus s???? (Still confused as to my model!?) 2:Why ICS boot animation froze & 07 errors??? 3:Why when I revert to stock do I lose my signal/network? because with no network you can't even check updates for phone in settings coz no signal!!
If anyone can help a friendly noob with these questions I'll be forever in their debt, lol! If the ICS update that's availabe as of now isn't compatable with my nexus s model (???) then I won't even try again till it is, & if it is compatable, then this thread is coming from a very disgruntled ICS hungry chap, lol!
ps: no questions about how I got my signal/network & original imei back please! I'll post another thread about this when I have time! CHEERS PEOPLE!

Anyone?

Thnx for reply surdu_petru, I won't try this just yet as I'm scared of losing my signal/network again, then not being able to recieve OTA updates of any kind! Will wait for hopefully more replies & answers first! Insidentally could you share with me how you can work out stock rom 2.3.4 is specific to my nexus s model? Obviously if it is correct version then it should also already have correct radio version so I don't have to flash another!?
Thanks in advance.

sorry dont apply that posted wrong link to wrong ?

Did you do a nandroid backup of your Stock ROM before installing CM7?

after installing cyanogenmod roms we can only upgrade our phone to cm roms or we can upgrade to any official firmwares?

get a good sd card and backup custom rom first before you attempt changing the rom.

[Q] GT-5113 Stock Firmware

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way to restore my tab to stock firmware? I can't find any links for GT-5113 ROM.
The reason to store the stock ROM is that I have installed CM9 on my tab and now I am unable to install Infected / Cleanrom. It hangs on Samsung boot screen after installing these roms via CWM.
Thanks.

As you realized AFTER the fact, creating a thread in development means you have something to offer to others,
not asking questions. FYI: I stopped using CM9 ROMs a long time ago because they frequently contain MANY
hidden bugs, only work properly when loaded with certain kernels, certain CWMs ... bottom line is you're
just one of the latest victims. Try a factory reset. Then ODIN the CWM in my Root thread. Then install
the ORIGINAL v1.0 CleanRom. It's the best of current custom ROMs and NO, we still don't have a stock GT-P5113.

We had the same situation, so hope this help.
I used odin to flash the gt-5110 stock Rom followed the guide in restore stock rom in galaxy tab 2 general section .After flashed my model gt-5113 became gt5110...lolz then i flashed the Clean Rom v1.1 then my model was back to Gt-5113..now I decide to stay at stock rom because Cm9 sucks...waiting for Aokp official.
If have any question pm me, I'll think i can help your tab 2 back to stock. [email protected]

Thanks, will try both the suggestions one by one.
The only problem with ODIN at the moment is that you can't reset the flash counter, I already have it at 3

Solved
Hi Glenn,
I was able to install CleanRom, by installing the CWM posted in your thread.
Thanks.

When you flashed the 5110 rom, did you have a problem with the language (Mine is currently in a foreign language)?
if so, when you flashed the Clean Rom did your tablet revert to the proper language?
Thanks

You can restore to stock using my guide. (link in signature) It should now be in English.

[Q] Need Lollipop ROM Update Advice (noob)

Hi, I'm far from an experienced modder. I only root for hotspot tether, to eliminate Sprint bloat, and for certain apps that need it (like call recorder). I currently have the RODT ND2 4.4.2 ROM and want to find the least complicated way to get to a STABLE, rooted, official-ish version of Lollipop. I'm not looking of an adventure or to do this regularly.
Can anyone please advise:
Which ROM would be least complicated to install? Will it support OTA updates or no?
What's the best way to keep (or transfer) all my app data without corrupting things or having to reset every app?
Any known issues I should watch out for in the upgrade process?
Appreciate your help on this!

Check metalfan's rom in this section. It's close to stock and he got rid of annoying pop-up notices

You really should be asking this question in the General forum. This forum is for development only.

Yeah, wasn't sure if this was the right place for it. I don't see a delete option so I can re-post... Can a Mod move it?

1. You need to flash the full tar 5.0 with Odin
2. Titanium Backup
3. You can't run any 5.0 roms until you have updated everything with the tar (bootloader specifically)
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------
Side note, only the full tar, unrooted, will get OTAs. Custom roms will not.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a specific ROM you recommend?
Also, I read somewhere that lollipop had a somewhat different file system. Will that cause problems with apps/data restored using Titanium from 4.4.2?

Thanks. Will check it out. How well supported is it when there are updates or bugs?

I didn't have a problem restoring apps. Tdunham has a basically stock rom but I don't think he is doing much with it now, MOAR is stable and ever evolving, my rom is pretty stable as well as it is based off of tdunhams rom with a few features from MOAR.

[HELP] How to Update SGH-i896 2.3.3 to 4.0.3

I have Samsung Galaxy S Rogers Captivate SGH-i896 android 2.3.3 and I want to upgrade it to 4.0.3?
Please help me.

To the best of my knowledge there is no official 4.03 for the i896 (or the i897 that I have.) There are 4.x.x roms for both devices that run on the 2.3.3 (i896) and 2.3.5 (i897) bootloaders. In fact the devs have created/ported roms all the way to 5.1.1.
Are you on the stock 2.3.3 rom for the i896 or a custom rom?
Are your bootloader and modem at version 2.3.3 / KH2?
Is your device rooted?
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
Is there a specific rom you are wanting to flash?
Currently I am using a custom rom based on android 4.2.2. My Captivate is not being used as a phone, I use it as a media player and sports/activity tracker.

Thanks for the reply.
YEs its on stock rom 2.3.3.
Its rooted using superoneclick.
No custom recovery just "Android System Recovery 3e"
I just want to flash 4.0.3 or above.
I do some google but I only got results for your device(i897), I dont know if that procedure will work on my device(i896).

This thread 【Guide】How To flash ANY Captivate ROM from Stock (including ICS) will start you in the direction you need to go. The poster says:
These instructions are the same for the i896 (rogers) and i897 (at&t) captivates. There is NO DIFFERENCE! ALL ROMS/KERNELS WORK ON BOTH PHONES!

Since you are rooted but on stock recovery you can start at step 7 of the Odin method. That will give you a custom recovery which will allow you to flash the custom roms that come as zip files for flashing from a custom recovery. OR, you could start at the beginning of the Heimdall method.
After you get CWM recovery on your phone you will need to flash the ROM of your choice. Do you have a specific rom in mind? If not you can check through the Captivate Development sub-forum

You will have to wade through all of the newer ROMs to find an ICS based ROM. The 1st ICS ROM I saw was on the 6th page of that sub-forum.

Is this the right rom? [ROM][4.0.4] Slim ICS(I897) - Clean, Simple & Fast (54MB) It is for i897 and my device is i896, will it work?

Based on TRusso's thread that I quoted and linked above ROMs for the i897 will work on the i896. Of course, I have no way of testing since I have an i897 instead of an i896. I just searched the thread you linked, and found this.
Is there a particular reason you are seeking an ICS ROM and not something newer? (JB or KK)

I'm not sure how GApps affect wifi and sound.
You could try GApps from a different source: OpenGapps, Bank Gapps, CM GApps, Slim GApps, etc.
Make sure you use a GApps for Android 4.3. After installing it may take a while to update to newer Google Services Framework versions.
