I'm trying to update my phone from 2.3.4 --> 2.3.6 but I have modified my kernel so I get "status 7" when updating in CWM. I don't have a nandroid from before I changed the kernel in my phone so I was wondering if anyone had one.
I have a telus Nexus S so it's an I9020A so I believe that I need GRJ22.
Or is there any other method I can use?
edit: thanks it works.

You can try to flash this 2.3.6 BR Retail SBF:

After flash, do a full wipe in stock recovery.
Help!
I installed the 2.3.6 ROM's from VIVO, and can not seem to do neither root nor downgrade, and now, what should I do?

There's no way to root or downgrade for VIVO's rom, you just have to wait until there's a solution
MaX,i may be wrong but in the "And developers milestone 2 sbf" it says that this rom is rootable by Superoneclick.
Have you tried that?

No, the rom from Vivo (and from Personal Argentinian operator) can't be rooted yet. There's some discussion here:

Thanks MaxK47, it was very enlightening, i didn't know about the revisions in those sbf's.
Next week I am going to be receiving an Atrix 4G (ATT) running the stock (Froyo) to replace my broken Inspire 4G. Anyway, I plan on upgrading to CM9 immediately as soon as I receive the phone. After reading through tons of tutorials on XDA, rootzwiki, etc., I realized that most of the roms depend on certain firmware versions mainly the Gingerbread build to build from. I am familiar with adb and other android functions but I am mainly curious as to what the exact method would be from original stock? Do I need to upgrade the official firmwares in steps and then root, unlock bootloader, install clockworkmod, install rom, etc. or can I just go from Froyo to CM9 with the usual methods?
I have rooted and installed many custom roms but motorola has a few extras enabled like a locked bootloader. I am just curious as the correct starting point as I have seen many different methods for this device. If anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
I think you should upgrade to the latest firmware 4.5.141 then use the 2.3.4 method to unlock the boot loader. Heres a thread with someone who unlocked their phone on 2.3.6 and installed the cm9:

I think the method you mentioned above should be fine….'upgrade the official firmwares in steps and then root, unlock bootloader, install clockworkmod, install rom'

Hey,
Coming from 3.2.1, I flashed the this 4.0.3 rom: Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
Worked fine, but I wanted to be able to install the German OTA update. So I thought I could do that by flashing a 3.2 stock rom and then receive 4.0.3 over the air.
But then I accidentally flashed this A501 rom: "Acer_A501_4.017.03_EMEA_CUS7" from here
I tried flashing the 4.0.3. update I previously had installed, but it doesn't work. Installations seems to finish, but after a reboot it is still 3.2 and my model ist shown as A501.
Is there anything I can do?
EDIT:
Forget it, after the 4th try it just worked. Sorry, can someone delete this post?
Recently I've wanted to remove cyanogen mod. I've found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176753
But, the problem is that the cyonagen mod gave the phone 4.1.2. If I use these files to flash back to stock: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 , they are all 2.x.x.
What I'm worried is that this is downgrading the phone so will I brick the phone if i flash it using those files?
Also will flashing back to stock automatically remove Cyanogen mod?
Thanks.
Bump.....
No problems there. You can downgrade from 4.1 to 2.2. But, if you flash the 2.3.6 Defy+ SBF or any BL7 SBF, it won't be possible to downgrade to 2.2. Basically once you go a higher official Motorola android version (upto 2.3.6, which is official), you can't downgrade to a lower version.
