Are you completely stock (never flash anything and never root) or you root the phone and later unroot it? If you have a stock rom without any modification you have just to wait the official OTA if not the link have all information that you need to obtain a complete stock 4.1.2, in it you can find official google rom.

Yes i am completely stock.So currently which are the countries recieving the update?Any clue on how much ae we gonna wait?
ps.i am in india.

If you are completely stock you have only to wait, at the moment nobody have received OTA on Nexus S and nobody know when it will arrive but we can assume that we have to wait only some days...

There is a way to manually update without root and unlock, you have to download your version of OTA from the thread that I suggested you and you have to learn to use adb commands. I personally tested this method on my device and it work.
You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).
With this correctly installed, without any root and unlock, with some terminal commands you can manually update your device, at the end it will be completely stock without ony modifications.
After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:
Connect your phone to your PC.
Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and volume up to enter in recovery mode.
Select "Apply update from ADB".
On your PC copy the OTA from downloaded from the other thread in the folder with the ADB binary (adb.exe) in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).
On your PC open command prompt and go to folder with the ADB binary.
On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)
If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"
At the end reboot and you have a completely stock updatewithout modifications.

A second method that I read is to try to delete your google account and later insert it again and wait sync. I didn't try this, I prefer to learn how to use adb...

Thanks for helpin me out.i cleared data 2 - 3 times before i got the update again.It took me all day to download 15 mb though even after having a hi speed connection.
Thanks for the adb tip.

No problem, for me data clearing didn't worked this time, I didn't want to wait anymore so I decide to use adb!

[Q] Motorola Milestone XT720 bootloop/bricked PLEASE HELP

Hello XDA community, i have solved all my previous phone problems via this site so I'm hoping this will get solved too.
Ok here goes, Yesterday i flashed Brains Bravo 1.9 ROM (for the second time(i figured its the most stable and whatnot)). After doing that it started up and asked me if i wanted to turn on 3G mobile data to this i replied no and i closed it. After that i turned off the phone (because i was getting all kinds of errors i have gotten before and solved by wiping everything.) As i was turning the phone on i noticed it was at the 1st Moto logo was on for a few seconds and then the screen turned off ,and back on. This time in a bootloop. i have tried using a different battery, pulling out the SIM and SD card but same thing happens i can't get it into recovery mode but i can get it into bootloader. So i figured its time to flash the stock SBF file and re do this whole process. While in RSD Lite i noticed that the screen kept flickering for a second or two and then it was fine. While it was nearing the end of the process (while it was rebooting) it suddenly said "please turn on phone manually" but the phone was stuck in a boot loop while it said this but the progress bar said 100% complete.
So xda community PLEASE HELP ME! :crying: , I really like this phone and i dot want to get a new one
PS: this is my first post so sorry if it isnt perfect.
PPS: last time i flashed bravo i applied the notification update but this time i forgot (just in case this info helps)
hopefully somone will have some answers and maby even a solution. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for listening err. reading.

Thank you so much. Where do I get framaroot? I looked on the Play Store but it is not there. When I get it, will that allow me to put a recovery on it?

see the list of supported devices.
its only for rooting and it doesnt help you with installing recovery.

Is there a way you recommend installing a recovery?I've looked on cyanogen mod but I don't think they support my device. Any ideas?

what phone?

I've never had an issue rooting... its gotten pretty safe, as long as you follow the steps closely you shouldn't have any issues or worries about bricking anything.
There are backup options of your rom after you root it. Clockworkmod Rom Manager makes backups and installing new rooms as easy as 3 buttons.

Since the galaxy player 5 us version is older device is there a clockwork mod recovery for it?

See rootSU's signature above. He has fine guides linked there. But how do you know you have no os if your data is intact? Do you have a rom zip on your device you can flash in twrp? I assume you don't have a nandroid or you would have tried that already.

i know because it tells me i dont. i can see my data in the twrp file manager.if i had a rom zip installed i wouldnt have posted this topic. thanks for your help

So then download a ROM and push it to your phone so you can then flash it via recovery.
Please try to keep your help requests limited to 1 thread. When you start cross posting , things can get messy
