Here's my story, I'm getting my Nexus S probably by day after tommorow or maximum by wednesday, it's coming all the way from US. I've read the guides on updating to Android 2.3.3, but am still not sure, as this is my first Droid and i cant take risks as I cant get the Amoled version repaired in my country. I want someone to guide me personally on instant messenger as I upgrade to 2.3.3, can someone please volunteer to help me?
I think 2.3.3 is on the Nexus S when you buy it. If not, you will get an OTA update.
Updating to a newer version isn't that hard. If it's OTA you don't have to do anything at all.

I'm assuming that an OTA update for Rogers Dream phones is going to get pushed out soon. If anyone gets this please let us know. I'm having a hell of a time getting the HTC Camera to work again on the new Android release.

Will there be any prompt letting us know we got the update?
I think on the T-Mobile G1 there is an option to check for updates but I don't see it on the Rogers HTC Dream...
OTA update?
I have a rooted Dream. Is there any reason not to allow this update??
That is, will is affect the rooting?
Edit: Not that it has come down yet ... just wondering.
If you switched over to using the testkeys you wont be able to install the update as it is using the releasekeys.
Just a selfish bump, sorry to those who read it for no reason.... I wish I could walk in to a rogers store and check the firmware on their new rogers.
Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?

Are you running a custom Rom or stock? If stock, what is your current software and firmware version.

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1
Images attached.
They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

There hasn't been a text message sent out about any other updates. This is them trying to ruin your root access.

I also haven't heard about any privilege revocation updates in that case.
The OTA broke root for so many people it isn't funny.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.
Edit: read rest of your post,it may be a small hotfix, probably not 2.2 .Maybe 2.1.1

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

I've also had that update for quite some time.
So before anyone else suggests that very update again in this thread, bear that in mind.
Well what are you waiting for? Go ahead and transfer it from the phone and post it

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.
I will transfer the update from my phone and post it here, just tell me HOW.
Anything else you need: also articulate what that is and how.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?
Because that would be unwise for a rooted phone...

I'm not 100% sure that's true - latest OTA I've recieved in US is .11 - I think (unless my OTA broke after .11) that the .3x, .4x versions are foriegn versions.

Gen1 is what my tablet came with, and that's a Gen1 release. Just because they haven't hit you yet doesn't mean others haven't received it yet. The GPS.conf file says north America, so that pretty much confirms it!

Hey guys!
I have the international version of I9023 and I just got the official OTA update of ICS some 10 minutes back.
guys please help me
I just got it also finally and it downloaded 100% and when it was supposed to reboot it acted like I pressed back or home, so it didn't reboot/install and the update dissapeared.
So it says the system is updated.
I dont want to wait for days again!!!!!! please help

What is your version Rom now in your Nexus S? ..and this version is officiale or it's a custom Rom ?
You must have official v2.3.6 installed on the phone ....after that you can update your Nexus with ICS 4.0.3...

LINK??????
Got the exact same issue (just posted in that big 165 page thread). i9023, stock as bought, no root. system still says 2.3.6 and manual reboot still does nothing but boot into GB as normal
Same issue in my spanish stock version!
I received the notification for the OTA update yesterday evening, downloaded the update but wasn’t able to install it because I didn’t had enough battery left.
I charged the phone during the night and was hoping to install the update this morning but I can’t find it anymore.
If I go to “About phone”/“System updates” it says the phone is up to date.
I have a carrier-free i9023 with stock 2.3.6 and live in Switzerland.
does anybody know how to install the update?
thx

Hungarian too, with an i9023. Using official ICS since 16 dec. So that's not the problem. But if you are in hurry, and have 30 minutes, you can install CWM recovery and reinstall the 2.3.6, after a few minutes it'll ask you to update to 4.0
After update you will get back the stock recovery, you can even relock the bootloader if you wish, so everything will be stock, and official, and untouched. Look for root infos on nexus s general threads, also you will find the 2.3.6 ROM there ([REF] ALL Nexus S OTA Updates for ALL Variants, Plus Full ROM Packages)
Yesterday I received the update notification, but I was not home and I could not update, and after a few hours notification disappears :-(
How can I get the notification again?
i just did a checkin and i received a system update ... shockingly it says 4.0.4 .. i already had 4.0.4 and the size was 1mb ... is it signs for 4.1 OTA? did any one receive the update?
i am using nexus s i9020a GSM .. FIDO
now my build number is changed from IMM76D to IMM76M..
I got it too on my us import i9020a running on SaskTel... the url is http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespoa/q1-YQR3w.zip.
Also got in on my i9020a (originated from Canada, telus i think). Any changelog available?
BTW it kills root...

OP is correct is received this also. Phone was all stock.
i9020a
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespoa/q1-YQR3w.zip
Lets keep this on topic about this new OTA, if you want to talk about or ***** about JB, theres another thread right here
I assume its only the i9020a that is receiving this or has anyone with a i9020t or i9023 got this?
I'm running the i9020t and didn't getting anything, tried it a couple times. Should I still download it and install it?
Google saw that we really want jb. So they release a different ota to make ppl happy thinking its job.
Nothing for my french i9023

i have the i9023 and i didnt received nothing, checked already 3 times
Ok this didn't disable universal search so that's good. It did patch nearly every system app, some bin files, new ota certs, apn list, framework updated, lib updated, minor update to vendor, a file was added to lib "libbcc.so.sha1", and recovery was updated.
Post would be too long to list every change in verbose LOL so thats all.

Lol means google is trolling ... but why just i9020a ? let it be every one :victory:
Perhaps Google found a bug in the I9020A 4.0.4 release that would have prevented upgrading to JB. The I9020T/I9023 ROM was presumably not affected.
