Help! Can't connect to any network! - Nexus S General

So, I've finally got around to putting a SIM card in my phone... and I can't connect to the network. I see 3-4 white bars (which turn green when wifi is on) and I get a list of operators, but when I try to connect to the one the SIM is for, i get the toast "unable to connect to this network at this time. please try again later".
i have performed a manual 3.2.4 upgrade, but that shouldn't prevent me from connecting, right? I'm not sure which upgrade I used, (for the 9020) but it seemed to upgrade fine!
Should I downgrade to 3.2.3 and wait for an OTA upgrade or what?
all stock, not rooted.

mhh, can't downgrade to 2.3.3 as it causes an error.
how do i put the full android rom on it without rooting?

Check your apn settings for your local carrier. Maybe there's a configuration problem.?

Use Odin its posted in thread in Dev section probably on page 2
and includes odin & 2.3.1 rom
If u don't know how to use Odin then extract the rom and flash system image threw fastboot
Or if u have clockwork recovery intalled there is a 2.3.3 rom that can be flashed threw clockwork

tempting, but you need to root to do this right? i only want stock roms on here, and not to mess with stuff like that.

no you dont need root and it is stock rom
here is stock 2.3.3 only if you have 9020t phone
flash threw clockwork
2.3.3 OTA package
again if your phone is not 9020t dont flash

Cant update after unrooting my phone

Wtf got bored and unrooted my phone and it says there is a htc software update ready to be installed and everytime i click it, it reboots my phone into the updater and then error. And i have to take out the battery to restart my phone.
Is this a problem with the phone itself or is there a way to fix this?
Did you unroot by running the RUU? Are you s-off? Do you have stock recovery?
I did all the above and i still get it to start updating then error

Sounds like you are still rooted but with no recovery... may want to flash the ruu again to make sure it all took... hopes this is helpful.
Also if you are referring to a firmware update I have a extra evo that says that but is currently on 3.30 still so I don't even know if 3.70 ever came out to unrooted phones..(I need to check into that)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It says it has a htc software update and i am running 3.29.651.5 so it should update.
And thanks for the help so far
Forgot to mention i did a nand restore to get back to the stock rom, could that be the problem and if so where can i get the correct stock rom. Ive looked around and still havent found one

I guess it didnot unroot completely but i started to redo the procedure and it kill all my drivers. Had to reinstall each one manually and the ruu is not finding my phone anymore after the first step of turning it off and using the usb cord. Help?
I think I found the problem, I needed to change the title for my phone on HTC sync to my HTC, and it found it ok. I also had to reset the splash screen to stock before any of this could happen.
Thank you for giving me the ruu and the pointers I needed to make this happen. Now to bring the phone back for other reasons on why its not receiving signal from Sprint but for some reason it gets Verizon... I can't stand Verizon so its time for a new EVO

EA28 OTA

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/
The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.
just got mine... I'm gonna have a seizure in a public place to test it out.
Does any one know if one click root will work with this update

It worked for me on DL09 and this isn't that much different so I'd say yes.

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!
I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?
Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?
You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

Can not update Manually

I have tried to update manually but cant. I have downloaded the file from samsung, put on root of card as update.zip and tried to install from clockwork. Is this the wrong way to do it.
I am on all stock and have clockwork installed. I downloaded from the link that has been provided from samsung It says E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Firmware version-2.1-update1
Build Number-SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18
So is there something I am doing wrong?
If you're using clockwork, you aren't on stock. Last resort is to use the flash utility that Samsung provided. It completely wipes your phone (not your sd card).

Is there a way to remove clockwork besides going back to stock? Also since I do have clockwork installed, will I not get the ota update to work correctly?
I can tell you what I know.
1) The official OTA update does not work with non-stock roms. In your case, your rom became non-stock once you installed CWR.
2) The flash utility provided by samsung will take any epic and clear it of user data and the existing rom and then flashes the 2.2.1 official rom. Your SD card will be untouched, at least mine was.
3) You can always re-root after you've flashed the official release. Do a search in this forum and you can find threads that explain how.
Good luck sir.
Just go get the cwm flashable pre-rooted eb13 rom that dameon87 posted in the dev section. There's also a link to it in the wiki.

That one did not work. Do I need to try to get the one that is not signed. I dowloaded the signed one and it did not work. After the install it tried to boot up, but went to the samsung screen and then into the official factory restore mode and tried to reboot and stuck on samsung screen.
Use the unsigned one. The only difference betwen the flashable and the one from samsung is the flashable is deodexed.

I can't get the manual to work - mine is rooted and rommed, but my husband's is stock.
I have downloaded direct from Samsung 3 times. Once loaded on computer and opened, the Eula doesn't even have the Next button which is needed to proceed.
So strange, guess he will wait for the OTA and drain his battery at an inconvenient time!!

If you are using odin try this.
Start odin on your PC first and have it up.
Put phone into download mode
Plug in your phone via usb and see if that helps.
It already sounds like you have the samsung drivers installed, but check to make sure.

Well I gave that a try. No go. I have tried everything I know. Two different computers, both xp. I can't even use the samsung utility because I keep getting the cant connect to usb. When it isn't in download mode i can connect to the computer, both computers just fine. It will tell me what phone I have and all. I just don't get it. Maybe I will just delete driver and install again. Is it a phone problem?

Gingerblur to Gingerbread

Ok i've searched the forums and am getting more and more confused. I have gingerblur 3.1 installed currently and would like to do the ATT ota update. Can I just download it and install from the system update? Or do I need to wipe the whole phone clean and start over? Thanks and sorry if this is a duplicate.
I am wondering this too...

I'm in the same boat, I got GingerBlur 4.5 installed and I would like to install the Gingerbread 4.5.19 OTA update. Are there proper instructions out there? I can't find any. I'm assuming I may have to go back to Stock 1.8.3 and do an OTA update. But can someone please confirm. Any instructions would help as well. Thanks
The directions I seem to need are...
Un gingerblur
Un root
As an aside, I got notified of the ota and it failed.

Make sure your battery is fully charged so that you don't run out of power during the upgrade process.
To install the upgrade:
Copy the file to the SD Card
Your phone is on the latest Android 2.2 software (Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US)
From the home screen, press Menu, select Settings,
Scroll down and select About Phone.
Select System upgrades.
After a couple of minutes, your device will confirm the upgrade is available.
The Copy prompt will appear. Select “Copy”
The Install upgrade prompt will appear. Select Install Now.
Your device will power off and display installation progress.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please ensure you are aware of the following information after the installation of the package
It will then power up and stay on the carrier logo for up to 5 minutes before powering on to the home screen.
Please do not interrupt this process.
Contacts and email from Google and MOTOBLUR may take up to 60 minutes to synchronize. The phone may appear slower during this initial synchronization process
I am in the same boat as that guy with gingerblur 4.5 .
I don't have an sd card around me atm so would putting the file on the internal storage work or not?
ALSO if I update this way, will it delete all of my media and apps? thanks

is there a thread to fix this issue?
thanks!
I figured out how to do it. First I unlocked the bootloader and then followed the directions on here.

Worked fine
You need to flash back to stock, i.e. flash 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 or 4.1.83. OTA update to 4.1.83 if you are on an earlier version. The update will not work if you are modded in any way. You need to be on stock 4.1.83.
My god, how many times does this have to be said!!!
So let's just say that you are a moron (like me) and just did the OTA over Gingerblur 4.5 and now you have the exclamation point triangle and android on your screen and it does do anything... is it safe to battery pull? or did I just brick my phone?
EDIT: nevermind...
Is there any guide how to flash back?...
