Full 4.0.4 OTA From 2.3.1 Odin - Nexus S General

Just a heads up
I had to odin to 2.3.1 and as soon as my phone booted i got ota 4.0.4
This is not about Odin.
And the update is different than the one you get if you're on 4.0.3.

What model? What carrier? What country?

1920t T mobile USA.

Why do people ODIN the Nexus S?
The fastboot images are in the ODIN tar, and fastboot flashing doesn't have the risk of bricking.

What if you can't get into bootloader?

Believe it or not, this is NOT a full ROM package. If you open it, it's full of patches and if you look at the updater script, you'll see it specifically references a requirement for 2.3.1 GRH78.
With 4.0.4, Google seems to be releasing individual OTA incrementals for each previous build. So far we have links for:
2.3.1 (GRH78)
2.3.3 (GRI54)
2.3.4 (GRJ22)
2.3.6 (GRK39F)
4.0.3 (IML74K)
We still need the links for:
2.3 (GRH55)
2.3.2 (GRH78C)
2.3.3 (GRI40)
If anyone can help with those, I'd greatly appreciate it so I can put the links in my stock images threads for I9020T and I9023. I've currently got my Nexus S on 2.3/GRH55 awaiting the OTA link. Right now, it's still offering me an OTA to 2.3.6. Hopefully I'll get it soon. Please let me know if anyone manages to get the 2.3.2/GRH78C or 2.3.3/GRI40 links!
Since we know that Google has done incremental OTA builds as far back as 2.3.1, I'm hoping that the upgrade path from 2.3 to 4.0.4 will be a full ROM package. I can't figure why Google would bother doing an OTA incremental for 2.3/GRH55 since it was only current for one week before being upgraded to 2.3.1, and the vast majority of Nexus S phones (unless you bought one VERY early) never even shipped with it.

Yep saw that

If you mean, you can't get it because you got broken keys, you can boot to bootloader via fastboot. ODIN is for Samsung Galaxy fags

Yes. I mean no disrespect in this, but if you radio tick the "Repartition" option in ODIN, you risk hard bricking.

[Q] I got 2.3.6 Update on Bell

I'm on Bell Canada stock 2.3.4 rom and I have unlocked boot loader. I got an update message today for 2.3.6 update. Should I go ahead with it?

I suggest that you capture and post back the OTA file here so people can look at it ...
I am under the assumption that phones with unlocked bootloaders won't be able to use OTA will have to manually update with fruitcakes. I may be wrong tho.
No,
I'm unlcoked.
I flashed the BELL 2.3.4 Stock and OTA worked fine.

Android JZO54K/4.1.2 OTA for Nexus S - I9020T/I9023/I9020A LINKS NOW AVAILABLE!

It's that time again! Android 4.1.2/JZO54K is rolling out to I9020T, I9023, and I9020A devices. D720, and M200 should follow.
If anyone gets these OTAs, please pull the filename from logcat and post it here so I can update this thread and also mirror the OTA file on randomphantasmagoria.com! Links will be posted here as they come in!
WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY UPDATE
The soju (I9020T/I9023) and sojua (I9020A) updates for JZO54K are rolling out now.
to wait too much longer.
For Sprint NS4G devices, you're really at the mercy of Sprint. Google submits the OTA update to Sprint for testing and approval. That can take anywhere from 1-2 months historically, so grab a rack and settle in. You're going to be here a while.
If you have an M200 Korean Nexus S, you're probably in for a several month wait as well since the 4.1.1/JRO03E update just began rolling out today (October 15, 2012). Like the Sprint device, yours is subject to carrier approval. Google can't roll the OTA out until the carrier signs off. Historically this is always the last Nexus S device to get OTA updates.
UPDATE LINKS
soju (I9020T/I9023):
JZO54K from JRO03E

sojua (I9020A):

Does the stock recovery of JB i9023:

2) Allow you to apply zips? Last time we got that permission or status error or whatever for the ICS recovery...
So has anyone received the OTA or is this thread in preparation for the OTA, just so its clear.

So I take it the only way to update to 4.1.1 is using Samsung Kies?

That depends on what model you have, but yes you can update using Kies or download from SamMobile

the 3100 and 3110 (depending on regions) have begun to recieve official OTA's but NOT the 3113, we just have to wait and see or take the risk and flash whats here in the development threads that they say works for the 3113.

I tried that non-official-OTA last night and did not have good results...
I tried restoring with Kies,but that didn't work.
So, I had to download the stock 4.0.4 image and flash with Odin.
All is well now. But, I will definitely wait out JB - or root - haven't decided fully.
there is also this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885878 I believe its based off the same unreleased (possible OTA) but it's had all the "basics" done to it, like rooting, deodexing and stuff like that, that is standard treatment to ALL Custom ROMS.

Really???
Samsung already announced it, and there already is a test build on SamMobile so why the negativity? Samsung never announces OTA dates. Seeing they have delivered most of the P3100 countries the official P3113 won;t be far behind if you really have to wait for the official.

My bad for not reading all posts in detail, as I go follow a free forums so 'scim' when entering a new thread. Did not realize third post was original poster and as 5th was about 5110, I did not realize this was a 3113 only thread. Apologies . Maybe I'd we ask a moderator nicely they can delete the 5110 related replies and then we can get the op title changed to include 3113

Not sure about 3113, as I have 5110, but if you check the device status of the tab (settings - about - status) and it does not say modified, then you should get ota when it is available
I think it only says modified if you flashsd custom rom, but I may be wrong. You should be able to use triangle away to drop flash counter to 0 (it worked on my 5110)

Yeah if anyone can pull the link, that would be ace.

:silly:
My razr hd is unlocked and on virgen will I still get notified when there is an update.
i just checked to see if an update is available on my phone as well using the motorola software on my pc. it says no update available looking forward to the update as well. I have the fido version running on t-mobile's "modernized network" aka PCS HSPA+.
The update hasn't been fully released yet. I believe either they are rolling it out in stages, or they did something like a Verizon "SOAK" test, which targeted a few handsets but not all of them, to verify no issues.
Once the update is fully released, it doesn't matter what carrier you are on since Motorola phones check into it's own servers (not the Rogers servers).
Someone please upload the update file so that we all can have it.

You need to be on Rogers stock firmware to apply it. If you're not, grab the fastboot files from sbf.Droidevelopers.org.
If you're on jelly bean already (from another variety like telstra), you might have to wait until the firmware team locates the fastboot files for jelly bean.

I am on stock Rogers firmware and it's still not working. I've tried a bunch of different things including using CWM to flash it but it still doesn't work. I get errors.
You can downgrade to the stock ICS rom from Jelly Bean in fastboot by deleting a couple of lines from the .xml file in the .zip file. I forget what they are off the top of my head, but I think they were right at the beginning near the "getvar" line.

Thanks for the reply, that thread seems to make everything unnecessarily complicated, but I still can't seem to find out if this method will work with custom recovery. I'm rooted with cwm, do I need stock recovery to do this? I'm on a 2yr contract, don't wanna risk a brick by trying uninformed.

I would stay away. Everything I've read on the other thread points to you will soft or hard brick the phone. It basically needs to be stock everything, and possibly locked bootloader, for this to work and not brick. I might be a bit off, but I do know that those who are stock and locked haven't seemed to have any issues.
For all of you still waiting, I just had the following chat with a Sprint Rep:
Ciera B.: Hi
You: Hi, I have a Sprint Motorola Moto X and the I know that an update to the Android Software is being pushed out since last week
You: Would you know how long it might take for it to show up on my phone?
Ciera B.: A software update to 13.11.3Q2.X-69-3-8 will roll out for the Motorola Moto X (XT1056) beginning Thursday, 12/12/13 for 1000 users.
Full Client and Network Initiated Updates begin Wednesday, 12/18/13.
You: Does that mean that by tomorrow everybody should have it?
Ciera B.: All Moto X users will get it beginning Wednesday, 12/18/13.
You: So from 12/12 through 12/18 only 1000 users, the rest are getting it from 12/18?
Ciera B.: Right
You: thanx!!
Ciera B.: You're welcome.
Ciera B.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Ciera B.: Thank you. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you !

Unlocked bootloader is fine you just need to flash the camera update via toolkit to restore stock recovery then put the 44 update on the root of your card and check for updates so it updates the phone then you flash twrp or cwm and apply root again
