Nexus S i9020a CWM Radio file (Now Tested)

After doing some reading I found a command to extract the radio file from our phones and crypticsorr0w ended up being our guinea pig and it got him his CKB2 Radio back.
It is now tested and I've inserted it into a cwm file that I took from paulobrien so credit goes to him for that. But it's been tested and it works but you're responsible for what you flash, if something happens don't blame me.
MD5 Sum for this file is: 4e926fdf96a2350c85604b1a00009d

First thing I want to say is this is untested, I did this tonight after my son went to bed and haven't had time to test it. After doing some reading I found a command to extract the radio file from our phones.
update : I put the radio.img file into a zip file and I've been told by zephiK that you need to verify it using md5 hash before using to make sure it doesn't brick your device. If you know how to do that then please go right ahead, in the meantime I'm gonna try to get that done.
In the File properties I get
MD5 Sum : 4e926fdf96a2350c85604b1a00009dc5
So if you don't know how to do that I wouldn't recommend it until someone that does either explains to me how to do it or does it.

Nice, what was the command?
Just ran md5 on it, matches what you got.
[email protected]*****:~/Documents/Nexus S/test$ md5sum radio.img
4e926fdf96a2350c85604b1a00009dc5 radio.img

I ran the dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/radio.img count=12583040
in adb shell and it copied it to the root of my sdcard. Now that that matches it should be safe to flash using fastboot with
fastboot flash radio radio.img command.

you check the md5 hash of your download against the original to test that the download isn't corrupt. on linux, you can do this with:
md5sum filename.zip
on windows, i believe there are many freeware md5 sum checkers you can download to check

yeah I just downloaded a md5 sum checker and checked the md5 hash againts the original and they do match. Plus Kryptic checked it with the #'s I gave him so I'm thinking they're good. If someone that knows more on the subject wants to make sure then you're help is more then welcomed.

About md5 hashes, download hashtab (windows) it makes verifying md5,crc32 etc easy!

Thanks zephiK, that works a lot better then the other program I was using. Again it just confirmed what I found earlier, they're a match so should be good.

Sorry new to the Nexus S....
Got a ATT band Nexus S, loaded NScollab and MIUI and neither will keep me connected to the cellular network/3g
I'm assuming its the radio? How do i flash the stock radio you have posted?

Did you flash the radio with some other radio? if not, it's the same one your phone came with.

no I just flashed a different rom and I get no service. so need the stock radio I assume

I tried flashing it using fastboot and I get
FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
then I took the file and put it in zip file that contained update script and installed through CWM.
Baseband back to I9020AUCKB2 =>
Thank you again

The radio will be intact then, no need to flash it.

Glad to hear it worked! Now I can edit to say it's tested. So you say it didn't work typing in "fastboot flash radio radio.img" in your android sdk tool folder using adb with your phone in bootloader mode? Just making sure cause it should've worked. oh well just need to make it into a cmw file then and it should be good.

Thanks crypticsorrow, after I read about your problem with fastboot I had to try it and I got the same error so I did the exact same thing you did and by the time I had it posted you said you got it from paulobrien . I tried this cwm file on mine and it said it worked, so it flashed it over my KB2 baseband but still should be good.
Glad we can now flash without worrying too much about losing our baseband.

I am abit confused by what you mean here. I used your radio.img file, i just placed it inside XXKB3-GRI54-radio-nexuss-unsigned.zip from paulobrien post instead of his radio.img. If that is what you did you should not lose your KB2 baseband.

I did the exact same thing you did except I renamed the file to show the correct baseband, I just wanted to see if I'd get any errors from doing it that way and I didn't so shouldn't be a problem.

Ah sorry for misunderstanding that..
Mind if I ask how did you find out which directory has the radio in /dev?
I would like to learn more about dumping to images

New stock TF300T V10.4.2.19 firmware is available

on asus page is available new V10.4.2.19 firmware, but without any description, anybody tried this ? is it more laggy than stock V10.4.2.18 ??

Downloading it, some one know if it is WW?

I will wait until there's more info listed. It doesn't even say what region it's for.
I was wondering if anyone can help me with my query. I recently installed .18. It's rooted and has TWRP recovery. I would like to know the best method for updating to the new firmware. Please let me know if this approach is sound:
Use OTA RootKeeper to disable root access.
Got to recovery and do a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
Flash the latest update
Restore root with OTA RootKeeper
With this approach, will I still maintain TWRP recovery or will I need to flash it again?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like CN version

Looking at the other files, it seems the update is for Chinese (CN) SKU. So, it is wise not to flash this on other SKUs.

If you have recovery, that means you're unlocked, so you can flash anything. What I do to update is.....
Download the update and put it in /sdcard. Make sure you unzip once to get to the zip within
Reboot to recovery
backup your current ROM with it.
Flash the new update zip with it
After the flash, you lose root and recovery, soooooo
Once done, go flash recovery back on
Flash root back in - there's a superuser zip in the rooting guide in the general section
you're all set. It seems like a pain but always works for me...

Many thanks for the feedback and steps.
Yeah, I followed the guide to update and flash from here (excellent guide). Was wondering if flashing the new firmware would completely wipe everything, including the idea of trying to preserve the root functionality using OTE RootKeeper. If it all has to be done again then so be it Plan on using Titanium Backup to back up my apps too. Still learning, though it's a lot of fun and very time consuming.
Cheers.

If you are unlocked with recovery, then you don't need to be concerned with preserving root from ota updates, because this method is not done ota. You lose root after flashing the update because your entire /system partition is overwritten, but you can easily flash root back in after you put your recovery back. Flashing an update like this does not wipe your /data partition, so you keep data apps and their info.

OnePlus One July OTA Update Android 4.4.4

Yep it's out.
For those of you in need to manually update read below.
Download: cm-bacon-d22b777afa-to-0428073396-signed.zip (KTU84P, XNPH30O)
Install: To install the update, flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended), boot into it, then sideload using adb sideload - if you've ever updated a Nexus device before, then you'll feel right at home, as the steps are exactly the same. TWRP will ask if you want to re-root at the end.

Wtf is this thread....anyways has anyone tried a clean flash yet?

just flashed it. thanks man!

Why can you flash the zip, why do you have to sideload it ?

Mine keeps failing some sort of verification check, on both cm recovery and twrp.

I flashed it through TWRP, NO ISSUES

Are you sure you're installing with "adb sideload" as instructed? You can't install from the "install" button in TWRP.

yep. on both the stock cm recovery and twrp i get this error:
Code:

If you've flashed any mods or made any changes to the system. It will fail.

If you guys flashed my Smooth Scrolling Mod, flash the revert and then try the OTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...scrolling-mod-mahdi-rom-t2840934/post54762296
Basically when you're on stock ROM and if you did any changes to your /system/ then it will not update because its been modified.

does this include removal of apps ? Mine failed to sideload as well.+
Edit 1: I did do some modding of the build.prop as well this morning.

I had a feeling that the system partition was a problem, so i wiped it and then reflashed the previous build from cyngn.com and the update still fails.

Same problem here, fails at:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/apache-xml.jar","44e4.........","eab54.........")
Everything is stock, except Recovery. Tried with original recovery and it still fails...

Got mine to update even though the system partition was updated with a modified updater-script.
I will upload the entire zip with the updated script. For those that know what they are doing the updater-script is attached.
Edit 1: Note you do loose root. You have to install supersu again if you did have it previously (if you modified system then you did)

I have a louder sound mod. So basically I have to reflash to pure stock to use this? That sucks.

look at my post.

I guess the update.zip factory image from the official site isn't truly stock. so i went with the nuclear option and just reflashed everything via fastboot. update worked perfectly now haha.

have you rooted the device? if the device was rooted, the update will fill, simply unrooting in supersu will not work because supersu adds files to the system folder. the update will only install successfully on a untouched system.

[HOW-TO][GUIDE] Flash OTA & Full Rom with TWRP

Disclamer: You are doing this at your own risk.
Guide for OTA Updates
Many users asked how to apply OTA with TWRP or Root, so i decided to make full guide for it
before anything when you receive update notification download it but dont install it because you will get error and if you didnt get error you will bootloop
after you download the OTA, use any file manager with root access to copy ota file from /cache
file name will be "dlpkg" copy it to your internal storage and rename it update.zip or simply download it from links that posted in xda after the ota is available
you have to remove any edits youve done to system to update without problems so heres my steps:
1.Full Unroot:
Open SuperSu and go to settings, scroll down you will find Full unroot choose it and wait for it to finish
Screenshot:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Uninstall Xposed
Go to xposed official thread here and download "xposed-uninstaller-20150831-x86"
then flash it from recovery to Uninstall Xposed
now you have to edit update.zip updater script because with TWRP you will get error
extract it and open updater-script from "META-INF/com/google/android/"
then remove getprop lines it will be from 2nd line to the 5th like this
Code:
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.20.40.90_20150903_4959_user:user/release-keys" ||
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.20.40.97_20150917_1572_user:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.20.40.90_20150903_4959_user:user/release-keys or asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.20.40.97_20150917_1572_user:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "Z00A" || abort("This package is for \"Z00A\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
Remove it and your updater script beginning will be like this
Code:
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/by-name/system", "/system", "max_batch_time=0,commit=1,data=ordered,barrier=1,errors=panic,nodelalloc");
ui_print("Verifying current system...");
now compress update files again to zip and flash it from recovery
One last thing make sure youre using right ota fil or your device will bootloop and you have to flash Full ROM
Guide for Full ROM
With Full ROM you have to only edit updater script and flash the ROM
extract it and open updater-script from "META-INF/com/google/android/"
then remove verify lines it will be from 1st line until "package_extract_file("ifwi.zip", "/tmp/ifwi.zip");" line which is usually 7th line
it will be similar to these
Code:
(!less_than_int(1441255040, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (四 9月 3 12:37:20 CST 2015) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
ui_print("Device image SKU:");
ui_print(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku"));
ui_print("OTA image SKU: WW");
assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "Z00A" || abort("This package is for \"Z00A\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
your updater script beginning will be like this
Code:
package_extract_file("ifwi.zip", "/tmp/ifwi.zip");
ui_print("Verifing BOM token ...");
flash_bom_token("/tmp/ifwi.zip") || abort("BOM flashing failed");
ui_print("Updating IFWI ...");
flash_ifwi("/tmp/ifwi.zip");
show_progress(0.750000, 0);
now compress ROM files again to zip and flash it from recovery
with PC use Notepad++ to edit updater script
and from mobile use DroidEdit or Turbo Editor
if Stock ROM it looks like it stopped at "Updating IFWI...." check this post
if you guys have any questions feel free to ask

OTA
Full ROM

awesome work, I like to try new roms but always end up going back to stock. this will make it a whole lot easier.

Edit:tested and working, ifwi flash will take a loooooong time, so wait it out. First boot will also take a while, screen will eventually dim and the phone will vibrate once before booting.

Yes
You can flash TWRP.

I mean I need to install TWRP first and than go to there or I already have it using shown rooting method?

Not sure about that method but in the asus resource thread root method 3 you can OTA update as long as you have stock recovery and system apps installed and no exposed
I was able to OTA update via method 3 but I didn't have TWRP installed at the time and my stock apps was present. I was rooted and boot loader unlocked

Instructions worked good for me. But a few keys. Keep root until your ready to flash. You need root to edit those files(update) and to save it. I used es file explorer to edit, move and save it

Think this method would be good for people needing to do everything on device, but if you are going to use a pc anyway I suspect it would be quicker and easier to just flash stock recovery, update and then flash twrp again.

The Full ROM method work if I want rollback CM to Stock ROM?

Full ROM

Lol i was just about to make a thread to explain this but you went ahead me
Explained well, @AL_IRAQI
BTW, this can be added and may be usefull for someone...
If somebody removed some apps in system when they will try to apply the OTA it will be bumped an error, so you will also need to delete the apply_patch_check string which controls the signature of every app and odex to see if they got changed...
