official ics - Nexus S General

trying to update to official ics through stock recovery
The phone is running 2.3.1, do i need to update to 2.3.3 before i go to 4.0?
When i try to flash either official 4.0 or offical 2.3.3 i get error in
/tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any help guys?

What phone do you have (i9020A, i9020T, i9023, NS4G)? Also, you may need to update to 2.3.6, then to 4.0.3, to get it done in the stock recovery.

As the guy above me said, you first need to upgrade to 2.3.6 or at least 2.3.4.
Only then upgrade to ICS. It also should be written in the manual you upgrading accordingly.

You could visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
It's a complete reference with links to each model.
As far as I know you could also download the full zip package of the ROM, and then install it without having to upgrade to 2.3.6 first.

Maybe you download custom stock ics.zip
Do you really download official zip file from google site?

FROYO with nexus one root and unlock

Hello everyone
I root, unlock the bootloader to install the recovery EPF21B and recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1, I have not changed my ROM. I followed the TUTO Modaco to unlock the bootloader and become root ( superuser.apk).
My question: Can i update manually for FROYO or the OTA update will I receive?
Because I have errors when i update manually for update.zip.
Verifying current system…
assert failed: apply_patch_check (”MTD:boot:*****)
Thank you

Since you're asking a question, you may want to try the Q&A forum, mods will delete this one soon I'd imagine.

[Q] Kies update problems

I get this message while in Kies
"This Device's version cannot be updated"
I have the I5801 with Orange network, i flashed the firmware to
InDroid v2.0 XXJPL Final Version (rudolf895) Also a great Rom
Been a noob i never made a backup of the old firmware Is that just a standard message? "This Device's version cannot be updated"
If not, how do i get Kies to work with the phone again?
With the 2.2 firmware coming soon i would like to try it
Thanks for any help
That is the message you get when there is no update available for download. I don't think Samsung has released Froyo update for UK yet..so you need to wait I guess..
When the update is released officially, you will first need to download your original ROM from samfirmware.com, flash it to replace your custom ROM & then Kies will upgrade the ROM with official version.

Won't update from kies

So im trying to update my phone to android 2.3.5, currently it is on 2.3.3. Kies says that "this version of the file cannot be updated." I'm on pda zskf4, phone xxke4, csc eukd1.
If i update the rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, it will change the kernel but my phone will still show 2.3.3. I tried flashing it back to stock to update from kies but it still says the same thing.
I bought my phone online, it is unlocked. It has been rooted.
Basically, i just want to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5

Suggestion: Do not use Kies to update, so many ppl got huge problems that kies stops around 80% and then phone semi/hard bricked to sent back at shop.
Anyway, changing kernel does NOT change your android version, you need a new firmware with 2.3.5, two options:
1. from intratech official firmwares forum, pick up ki3 or ki8 or ki4 to have official 2.3.5 (previous versions got 2.3.3) and follow the instrucions on the thread. This will give you a original unrooted 2.3.5 phone with stock firmware.
2. pickup one of the customs roms of this forum they almost all updated to 2.3.5+ (miui is on 2.3.7) and flash that, this give you a rooted phone with 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 firmware (follow the instruction from the custom rom thread)
Odin is super easy and fast. There are good guides here on xda. Samsung service uses Odin and it doesn't wipe your phone when updating. Took about 10 min to update.

[D720][REF] All OTA and Available Full ROM Packages

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HAVE CEASED UPDATING THIS THEAD.
The old information contained below will remain for posterity, but will no longer be updated. From this point forward, all updates to this information will be found at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a list of all available OTA and full ROM packages for the Nexus S 4G, model D720.
THIS IS FOR D720 ONLY. IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER VARIANT, PLEASE FIND THE THREAD FOR YOUR VARIANT.
Typical disclaimer where I tell you that all of this stuff is at your own risk and I'm not responsible if you mess up your phone, yadda yadda.
These updates are 100% stock and are NOT rooted.
HOW TO FLASH
I'm not giving instructions on how to flash ZIP files. If you don't know how to do that, you probably shouldn't be looking for stuff in this thread. There are plenty of threads on how to flash zips through recovery. Do a little reading before proceeding.
The recovery-flashable full ROM packages will only flash if your phone has no ROM, any custom ROM, or a stock ROM that's older than the version you're trying to flash. For instance, the 2.3.5 full ROM package will flash over the stock 2.3.4 ROM, but not over the stock 2.3.7 ROM.
With fastboot images, you can flash any version over any other version.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET AN ERROR WHILE FLASHING?
If you get an error flashing a recovery-flashable full ROM package, it means that you are running a stock ROM that's newer than the version you're trying to flash. If you're trying to downgrade, then you must install ClockworkMod recovery, then wipe system, boot, data, cache, and Dalvik cache. You will then be able to flash the older version. Optionally, you can also flash fastboot images of a version older than the version you're trying to flash.
If you get an error flashing an incremental update, it means one of four things. Either you don't have a D720, you aren't running a stock ROM, you have changed something with your stock ROM (this includes build.prop changes, radio or bootloader changes as well), or you're running Android 4.X and trying to update manually. These incremental updates only work if you are running a completely, perfectly stock ROM exactly the way Google provides it, with the right radio and the right bootloader. There are no exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, Android 4.X ROMs can no longer be updated manually in stock recovery. See below.
A NOTE ABOUT ANDROID 4.X OTAs
Beginning with Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has made a change to stock recovery that prevents you from flashing future OTA updates manually. Instead you are now required to wait for the OTA notification on your phone and then tap "Reboot and Install."
If this pisses you off, you have the option of unlocking your bootloader, installing either a stock Gingerbread recovery or ClockworkMod recovery, and then flashing the OTA updates manually.
LATEST VERSION
The latest Android version available for D720 is Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4, build IMM76D.
BUILD REFERENCE
GRJ06D - Android 2.3.4
GRJ22 - Android 2.3.4
GRJ90 - Android 2.3.5
GWK74 - Android 2.3.7
A NOTE ABOUT RADIOS
The Android 2.3.7 ROM for the D720 includes a radio that reports itself as D720SPRKE1 but in reality the actual radio version is D720SPRKH1.
FULL ROMS
FASTBOOT IMAGES
If you're comfortable with fastboot, you can flash these images to return your phone back to raw stock.
Generally the best way to do this is to perform the following steps:
Put all six fastboot images in one folder, unlock your bootloader, perform the fastboot flashes, then lock the bootloader:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
FLASHING FASTBOOT IMAGES WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR PHONE'S DATA AND WILL RETURN YOU TO A FACTORY STOCK, UNROOTED STATE.
Android 2.3.7/GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
Official factory fastboot images, must be flashed using fastboot on an unlocked bootloader. Contains recovery, radio, and bootloader.
THESE IMAGES MUST BE FLASHED USING BOOTLOADER VERSION D720SPRKC5
RECOVERY-FLASHABLE ROMS
Currently there are no full ROM packages available. Nobody seems to have posted any links to them.
Still need ROMs for:
Android 2.3.4/GRJ06D/SPRKC9 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.4/GRJ22/SPRKD8 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.5/GRJ90/SPRKE5 Radio/KC5 Bootloader
Android 2.3.7/GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
Android 4.0.4/IMM76D/SPRLC1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader
INCREMENTAL UPDATES
The links provided here are to Google's official update package for each version. Sometimes Google provides a small incremental update package for upgrading between versions, other times they just provide full ROM packages for bigger version upgrades. For instance, Google pushed a small incremental update to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. If your phone was running 2.3.1, there is no 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 incremental update, so Google would push the 2.3.6 full ROM package.
If you don't see an upgrade path from your version to your desired version, it means you need to use a full ROM package above instead.
Android 2.3.4 (Build GRJ06D/SPRKC9 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.4 (GRJ06D) -> 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
Android 2.3.4 (Build GRJ22/SPRKD8 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.4 (GRJ22) -> 2.3.5
Android 2.3.5 (Build GRJ90/SPRKE5 Radio/KC5 Bootloader)
2.3.5 -> 2.3.7
Android 2.3.7 (Build GWK74/SPRKH1 Radio/KE1 Bootloader)
2.3.7 -> 4.0.4
Completely unnecessary thread
We already have 2 threads that have these zips posted
Good afternoon. I had asked this question previously but never received an answer: Is the SPH-D720 not able to use 4.0.? Ice Cream Sandwich???.... If not, then why? I don't understand what the big difference is between the other models that are able to upgrade to the new Android ICS version of the OS, and the SPH-D720. It seems that this is the only model that doesn't have an upgrade to 4.0???.... Is it because of the CDMA chip? Or exactly what is the reason? Am I mistaken? Is there an upgrade from 2.3.7 to 4.0.?......
The 4.0.4 update is being pushed out by Sprint now. If anyone is able to share the OTA package or provide a link to it that would be great.

no official release of ics doesn't mean the ns4g can't run it. there are many custom roms based on ics source available. rumors state an ota update should have begun rolling out today, but I haven't seen any actual proof yet.

I'm ready!
I have updated the first post to add some additional notes and have also added the 2.3.7/GWK74 fastboot images.
Anyone have the official link to the 4.0.4 OTA yet? It's rolling out. Also, could someone with the official OTA (not the leak) tell me what the new radio and bootloader versions are?
Gonna be tricky to get this one, most ns4g users in xda are probably running the leaked version or a custom ROM...
Someone will grab it, I'm sure. I've managed to hunt down the other ones, so I'm sure we'll get this one eventually. haha
I plan on flashing back to stock when I get home sometime over the weekend and turning on my logging on my router to watch all traffic that goes through and some ADB logging to get the URL. Then I will just nandroid back to my custom 4.0.4 that I have been running since a few days after AOSP was updated. Once I have the URL I will reply.

If you get the update notification, say "not now" when it prompts you. Get the filename from /cache, and put this in front of it to get the full URL: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo4g/.
I think it's posted here, but I'm guessing you'd prefer it to be from a user?

That is just the leaked version not the official version. It is probably the same but most people prefer to download from Google's servers

That file is 166 gbs, pretty sure the real update will be around 30 gbs but don't quote me on that.

[Q] OTA Update Issue

Hi to all,
i've buy this tablet used from a collegue of my friend.
He give it to me with a modify rom with 3.1 firmware (if i don't wrong, tha name of the rom are "Picasso-ROM" but i'm not sure about it).
I wanna restore the original firmware on it to take the last firmware 3.2.1 (Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1) but I can not seem to update to that version of the tablet !
At the moment with the EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 i was able to restore the original Acer recovery (lost with old custom rom) and with OTA now i've the follow update : "A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1" but the version of Android still 3.2 !
I would not like that when ICS comes out I will not be able to update !
How can i force it ? There is a link where i can download the OTA update ?
Thanks for your support !!
There is no way to force OTA unfortunately - if you've managed to receive the OTA 3.2 then there should be no reason you shouldn't receive 3.2.1 just give it a few days more, some here have had to wait 2-3 weeks for it so I wouldn't panic just yet
Hi,
Did you receive the 3.2.1 yet? I had the same problem yesterday...
tks.

I recently reverted from the leaked ICS 4.0.3 using ATX to flash back to stock 3.0.1. Once I did that, I tried to OTA update to 3.2, without success. So I downloaded the 3.2 update from Vache's thread, renamed it update.zip and threw it on my sdcard. Rebooted into stock recovery and updated. Once I did that, I went into settings and checked for OTA update, and it worked. So I had the same problem with OTA updates, but running 3.0.1. Perhaps downloading the 3.2.1 update will allow you to get OTA updates in the future (it should).
If you want to make sure, try downgrading to 3.0.1, then downloading the 3.2 update from Vache's thread. Then doing OTA update from your tablet and it should work. Hope that at least gives you some inspiration to try some things!
The above post is a viable way..
But also if i remember right.. You can Take any full complete rom pushed by acer.Flash it with the stock recovery.. With the catch the update rom version has to be region matched and a NEWER ROM VERSION.
Hope this makes sense. Its the procedure i have used in the past to test out a OTA.
People are doing this same thing to get the ICS LEAK. FULL ROM. acer will let you move forword as each full push from them added fixes for previous root ability and so on..
That brings me back to thinking ACER Leaked this ics rom just to see how easly it can be broken.
i want to upgrade my andriod version from 3.0.1 to 3.2 or 3.2.1
build number is acer a500 1.016.05_com_gen1
i can't get it viia normal update so if anyone can help me by link that can upgrade it i will be grateful
