I'm on stock tried to flash via recovery aborted. I don't have root. I have stock recovery image. Did you have to rename the zip file?

Do None of you guys read anything?
How to do the update is in the Cyanogen post where you download the frigging ROM.
Official update patch zip
If you are on a completely stock ERD79 device (including stock recovery image), you can use the official ERE27 update (this is the same as the OTA update). Just download it, put it on the SD card named update.zip, launch recovery (power on with volume down held), press power and volume up when the warning triangle icon appears then select 'apply update.zip'.

Hi forum...
I can't figure out, and I don't dare to experiment, how to update to CWM 3...
I have the img file, but how do I make the update ?
It is probably something really easy that I have overlooked somewhere...

CWM 2.5.1.3 is only for Froyo (on this CWM if you have gingerbread rom you can't make backup and mount system partition)
CWM 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread rom's and Froyo. I've CWM 3.0.0.5 on latest 1.72 firmwre and work very well.

Yeah was just reading through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842819 that explains it all. New one still supports froyo though which is good, just not as well as 2.5.1.3 apparently..
Just remember 3.0.0.5 isn't in rom manager yet for a reason. If you don't plan on flashing a Gingerbread rom dont bother with cwm 3. There is no benefit.

Can someone please direct me to the a step by step guide on how to Root and put CM7 on the Nexus S i9020a variant? Most of the stickies are for the T-mobile version and Its getting to be a bit confusing on which guide to follow. Please help this noobie!!!
use gingerbreak then rom manager it's that simple
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Quick note once you install CM7 do not use the 2g/3g feature it will break your 3g
Break 3g? as in damage it permanently? Thanks for the link for gingerbreak so basically that will root my nexus s then I can install CM 7 with out any special instructions since it has different radio compared to the tmobile version?
i used gingerbreak then rom manager to install clockwork recovery and CM7. Do some reading the 3g bug for I9020A has been discussed a few times. Just stay away from the 2g/3g toggle and everything will be fine. I don't think it permanently breaks it just is a pain in the A to fix. I have a I9020A and this was the simplest way I've found.
don't we have to flash a clockwork compatible kernel first, before flashing cm7?
Also, doesn't clockwork rom manager fail on sns? I have cwr from the main stickies, but rom manager doesn't see it (it works), and can't download roms, unless cwr from rom manager, which I heard fails.

So I downloaded CM7 7.0.2 - and gapps - flashed in order (nandroid first) and voila! no hastle! This ROM is great!
No, those are the only steps i took
CM7 comes with its own AOSP kernel. Just flash the rom, you'll get the kernel bundled. (Of course you can always use a great kernel from the developers thread) don't forget to flash gapps.

He means don't use the 2g/3g toggle widget as that will cause some problems, it hasn't been fixed yet. If you do want to change it though, do it manually through the settings.

I tried using gingerbreak on my i9020a but it runs for longer than 15 mins so I guess it doesn't work. What are my other options for rooting?
edit: I guess it's because I installed 2.3.6.. is it possible to downgrade easily?

Follow one of the root guides, all you really need to do is unlock the bootloader and install Clockwork Recovery.
Once that is done, download the zip for cm7 and use CWM to flash it.

Agreed, but it's a matter of getting the correct CWM image for our phones. Also, for people who are setting up their phones for the first time, the drivers needed for fastboot need to be installed, fastboot/SDK needs to be downloaded etc...
Hence why i referenced the rooting guides.

Yep, it's just the color you want your recovery to be. I flashed the cyan a couple of days ago for somebody else and no issues.. typical clockwork recovery
So I flashed the recovery file, but when I boot into recovery now, there's just the triangle with the ! in it and nothing happens.. did I do something wrong?

How did you flash it? That's the stock recovery.. should be 'fastboot flash recovery nameof.img' without quotes obviously.

So my phone is stuck in HBOOT ALL THE TIME NOW. I downloaded the new Kings Alliance Rom and followed the instructions. Once I go through the HBOOT Bootloader it sees my image but and then gets to one part and has an issue with the image so now im stuck.

Run a RUU back to complete stock and see if it will boot to stock
When it does re root and flash whatever ROM you want.

Take that .zip file [make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip] and put it on the root of your SDCARD.
Go into the HBOOT and say yes to running it.
Then root with the root link I gave you.

Rename it PC36IMG.zip [make sure it's NOT PC36IMG.zip.zip]
You're welcome.
So let me ask this, with the rom i have downloaded the new one (the one i crashed with lol) is it supposed to be named PC36IMG or PC36.IMG or PC36IMG.ZIP?

No only name the RUUs pc36img do NOT name ROMs you download off xda as that.
You can flash those in your custom recovery. (Go to your bootloader, select recovery, select flash zip from sdcard, select the rom and flash)

Furthermore, the ruu is only to return you to stock.
To ensure that your phone is good to go.
Then reroot.
Then go into the recovery and flash whatever custom rom you want how I said.
so you are saying whatever the download was named originally then thats what i should have left it and installed it as?
Yes, leave the Rom named what it was then boot into recovery and flash the romnamehere.zip from there.

The reason I wanted you to run a ruu is because you had said you flashed something and it wont go past the bootloader.
Running the ruu returns it to complete stock.
Ok now i am redownloading Netflix-AllianceROM-2.1....seems i transfered the original to the sd card and that card is now blank it appears talk about frustrating. after it downloads ill install it in recovery with that name just as it is...fingers crossed it will work.
Download File
Rename to PC36IMG (all caps) +++++++THIS IS WHERE I CHANGED THE FILE !!!!
Place on root of sd card
turn off phone
Put into bootloader power button/vol down
Bootloader will read the update
Follow prompts yes & yes
reboot phone!
Remove file from sd or it will read the file over and over everytime you boot yur phone!
Enjoy oldskool simple flawless recovery!
Done flash away!
So I followed those instructions but I think the file he was talking about renaming was the recovery file or something else? Anyway it confused me.

Background
This is a list of radios for the Nexus 6 (shamu). With the new OTA release, some people may have better signals with the old radio or want to tinker with the new one so here is a list that will be updated to allow users to switch to their preferred radio/modem.
Radios are independent of Android version, use the radio that provides you the best signal. It varies from user to user, there is no best radio/modem Why? Different carriers, different locations, and more. There are so many factors that play into cellular signal so just because a particular radio is the best for someone doesn't mean its the best for you. We can obtain a consensus on which radio performs the "best" for the largest % of users though.
How to Flash?
1) Fastboot: Download the .img file below then flash it using Fastboot.

No. Fastboot is only for the computer.
I'll have to do flashable zips later, if someone beats me to it I'll include it in OP and give credits.
Currently preparing for finals and this is all the time I have for now.
You'd need to write the radio to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem via updater-script.

Rename the file you downloaded from OP to "radio.img" (ensure its not actually radio.img.img).

What do I do? The image fully flashed and now when I reboot it stick on the four colors swirling around splash screen just before boot up. I'm guessing there isn't a "modem" section for shamu? Just radio...
I tried going into TWRP and wiping cache. It says "E: Unable to mount '/firmware'".

I had the same problem with /firmware. I seem to just ignore it.
Go into fastboot and then just reflash the radio using fastboot flash radio radio.img and then reboot. If that doesn't work go back into TWRP and wipe Cache and Dalvik and then your phone should start up as it rebuilds the cache.
So far the flashable zips in the typical method I use are not sticking when it comes to the flashable zips.

Don't think you can use Flashify, that's for Zips, Recoveries and Boot Images ( Kernels )
You can use Fastboot, or if you're not comfortable with that you could use Wug's Toolkit and just download the latest modem to your PC and select Flash Modem under Advanced settings.... Select your downloaded modem file and within 1 minute the Toolkit will do it all for you.
