Anyone willing to help me get this zip package I found in the Epic forum to run on a Nexus S 4g?

"epic4g.stock.recovery.ec05.zip
The Samsung stock recovery, for uninstalling ClockworkMod, useful for turning in the phone to Sprint.
Do not flash the stock recovery unless your phone boots into system, and you need to turn the phone in."
I recently broke my USB plug inside my phone and am only able to charge (even charging is going out). I think many people could take advantage of it when they are not in front of a computer to return to stock.
Thanks whomever is able to help
You had to go and make this post in two sub forums of the nexus s forums eh...
Don't install that, just flash a stock rom that's unrooted and it should over ride your custom recovery.

Does this apply to the Nexus S 4g?

I wasn't able to find any non-rooted stock rom's for the Nexus S 4G. Could anyone point me towards the right direction?
Try peter alfonsos website? One should be under "crespo4g" in the downloads section.

Neither of those sites contain a non-rooted stock ns4g roms. They only contain rooted roms and OTA updates which require stock non-rooted roms to use.
The one Sean posted are the ones you are looking for

The ones Sean posted only contain OTA incremental updates. I still need to have an unrooted stock from installed to use them. I've tried all variations using all the stock rooted roms from Pete and they do not update. Error parsing file each time.

Did you try the software image on peters site ? That's exactly what you need if I'm hearing you right. Not the rooted stock ROMS but the image

Am I supposed to flash the image from CWM because my USB port is damaged and can't run adb.

I know what tour talking about. When I had my epic they had a non ROOTED stock rom that was flashable via cwm then the had a stock recovery that would remove cwm which was also flashable through cwm

I'm not sure if that's what you need to do , I thought you just wanted the image and you knew how to do the rest. I don't want to tell you something that might just brick your phone

ROM Manager should have your stock GB to download and flash. You would then be unrooted when you are done. It always works for me.
Here is the ns4g 2.3.5 full ota rom: http://android.clients.google.com/p...882446e0.signed-sojus-ota-138666.504d8824.zip. This will unroot you and return you to the stock rom and recovery.
This will not re-lock your bootloader, though. In order to lock the bootloader without a cable, you'll to build a modified kernel to use Ezekeel's hack. (To state the obvious, this would require root access and a custom recovery, so you'd want to do this before flashing the stock rom .)

Thank you. I ended up flashing stock rooted from Pete, and with no questions asked, they handed me a refurbished one.

I own the P3113 and recently rooted and flashed CM10.1. The stock OTA 4.1.1 had some nice features and working IR blaster. Is there a modded version of the stock ROM that I can flash without losing root access?
Ideally what I want to do is setup a dual boot with CM10.1 and the stock 4.1.1 ROM. Which I will research.
I've looked through some of the stock ROM threads, but wasn't quite sure which to choose so I figured I'd ask before hand. Thanks for any help!!

Hey there,
Is there a known way to revert back to 4.2.2 rom from the new Kit Kat update from Tmo? I want to flash the PAC Rom for this and can't because there is no TWRP or other way of a custom recovery as of yet on this update. Makes me sad. I actually am on a rooted stock rom at this point. Just no custom recovery. Thanks for any help.
You can use this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) to downgrade to a version where custom recovery is possible and you will be able to flash pac

I know there's a way to do it but based on this thread we may be seeing a solution that allows custom recovery with 4.4.2 soon . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667227

I've been following the thread and the way I see it is even if the way there making recovery works we who are on kit Kat still need to use the flash tool to go to jelly bean and flash a modified kit Kat that will allow custom recoveries

True. I'm just hoping it isn't so locked down that we can't use other custom kernels. But thanks for the link, I'll be getting my G2 in two days and that info was relevant to my interests.

You guys are soo awesome. I will hopefully be AOSP in just a few hours... :thumbup:

Well, as it turns out not so fast. I am trying to use the flash tool and am getting all sorts of errors. This is crazy I am contemplating returning this one to the Tmobile store and getting a replacement ( still inside the 14 day window. lol ) The replacement would still have 4.2.2 .. lol I hate being locked down. I die inside a little.
Hi everyone,
Do you know if it is possible to return back to the stock rom if I am currently on TWRM recovery running CM11 4.4 rom? All my apps keep constantly crashing and I am having issues with my text messages not going through. I found the rom for 4.2.2 but I am unsure if its possible without messing up phone. How would one even do this? Thank you again!
Yes you can return to.it.with odin. For stock unrooted.

So I can literally just plug my phone in and flash the stock rom to my phone right? If so, thats great !
If stock unrooted is what you're going for, yes. You will have to grab the 4.2.2 tar and odin it. Back up anything important because if after running Odin successfully, and the phone boots up but hangs on sprint splash screen. You will have to perform a factory reset.

Hi
I was just wondering was would be the right order of upgrade. I mean, do I flash the rom and then the KK modem or the other way around?
Regards
Doesn't matter.
