Link for the Android 2.3.3 GRI54 for the Nexus S 9023

I flashed my Nexus S with CM7 RC 4. Accidentally my original nandroid backup got deleted. I want to flash my device with the factory android 2.3.3 image. Please let me know the link to download the Android 2.3.3 for SNS 9023 GRI54.

You find it on:

I have already downloaded the rom files and the odin but the odin don't recognise my NS.
Can you tell me how to do a fastboot flash ?

If you want odin to recognize your nexus you have to install the samsung usb drivers .. You can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929

I have already installed the google drivers but the phone recovery is the clockwork image. I am not able to put the phone to the download mode. I have downloaded the GRI54 image from samfirmware.com. Now I am not able to use it. Is there any other fully cooked image to flash the Nexus S.

I do not have a fastboot image for you ..btw the google drivers are not the same as the samsung drivers ..for odin you will need the samsung ones ...
To go into downloadmode :
turn on you phone, plug your phone into a sb port ( as if you wanted to put something on the phone) then while your phone is still connected to your pc , switch you phone off and keep holding vol up + vol down ..you will see that if you keep holding them phone will go into download mode after you phone is switched off

You installed the samsung drivers, make sure that your phone is power on,disable the usb debugging, ceheck that microsoft.net framework is installed on your pc. When you connect your phone (on your device manager) you must have "android phone" and below that "nexus s" with out any question symbols.If so then select to update your driver and give the path you installed the samsung drivers (eg c:\program files\samsung ....).
Power off you phone, open Odin and follow the pdf file from samfirmware to load the files (bootloader,pda,modem,csc). Hold your phone from the middle of volume buttons(between vol up and vol down) and immediately connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable .you are going to see the yellow triangle with the android.
Try it

Thanks afilopou, I've managed to enter download mode.
However I've never used Odin before so I'm not sure how to use it.
When I use 'PDA_SOJU_GRI54_TMO_EUR_MR1_SIGNED.tar.md5' for PDA, I get an error and the process stops.
If I start the process without selecting PDA, everything goes smoothly but when I reboot nothing's changed of course...
BTW, my i9023 is from Vodafone Australia (I hope that's got nothing to do with the error). Currently running CM RC4.
Please help.

On Odin. The error message is in Korean so I don't know what it says, but it says something about the PDA tar. Please see the attached image.

If I do it without PDA, I don't get an error...

I see you are using a virtual machine and the host is mac .correct?do you have any pc with windows (not on a virtual machine)?Also please check that you have microsoft.net framework installed
Also i did an md5 check sum for the file from samfirmware and the result is 0557b037f56195497718e1dc575b20c9
Can you pls check the I9023_EUR_GRI54_XXKB3?
And the md5 check sum just for the PDA_SOJU_GRI54_TMO_EUR_MR1_SIGNED.tar.md5 is b594e50fd160428826a66f58a15ad522

Thank you so much for your help.
I don't have a windows PC, but I'll install Windows 7 to my MBP using bootcamp and see how that goes.
I'll check the md5 check sum as well.

Forgot to mention. I tried Odin using Win7 (64 bit) on VMware Fusion, and I no longer got the error for PDA. Everything seemed to work but now Windows can't recognise the NS when I connect with USB! I tried to install range of Samsung USB drivers but installation failed.
Hopefully Win7 on bootcamp will work...

Looks like that the virtual machine (vm fusion) on macosx generates problems.As far as i remember only parallels worked ok.I have imac as well but i have bootcamp win7 in order to avoid all these problems. Hope to help

Odin on Win7 Bootcamp worked! Even though I got an error when I was installing the Samsung USB Drivers, Windows started recognising the NS after that.
After using Odin, the only change I can tell from the bootloader is that the 'CARRIER INFO' has changed to 'EUR' from 'XSE'. The bootloader version and baseband version are unchanged. They are still 'I9020XXXKA3' and 'I9020XXXB3'. I thought they were going to change to I9023XXX... but apparently not. Is this normal? I'm confused.
Obviously this rom is for Europe, so my i9023 from Australia probably had a different factory rom. I need to go into a Vodafone store and check but if it's different, it's going to be difficult to find the original rom for Australian i9023...

OK, so I had a chance to go into a local Vodafone Australia store.
The Baseband version under 'About phone' from the settings was I9023XXXKB1.
Under fastbootmode, the bootloader and baseband versions were I9020XXXKA3 and I9020XXXKB1.
However, CARRIER INFO is 'XSE' for Vodafone Australia, where as the CARRIER INFO from the Samfirmware.com ROM is 'EUR'.
Almost back to factory stock condition! Is it possible to change the carrier info? Does anyone know where I can get the stock Australian ROM for Nexus S?

I tried to root my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running build UEKME but just as it started uploading the recovery the computer gave a bsod and now my tab doesn't work.
When I try to start it it says it's unable to boot and to connect to kies in emergency firmware recovery mode to restore. No matter what I try kies refuses to see the tab. Just says trying to connect. I can see windows 7 loading the driver and it does completes successfully but kies won't see it.
I can't get into recovery yet I can go into download mode.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to get it working again. I know I have to load the firmware via odin but don't know what firmware to get and how to load it.
Please a link or instructions to get it working will be highly appreciated. It's a galaxy tab wifi model.
Thanks

Just flash the stock rom of your phone.
You can find the stock Firmwares here: http://sammobile.com
Download Odin just google it if you dont have it.
Flash it with odin.
*Open odin then flash it in AP/PDA section.

All major carriers Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity Mobile, all updated to CRE1 for the Note 8. The update wasn't just for a specific carrier, like Verizon. As you can see for yourself.

I knw all that. I meant to say it's Verizon carrier firmware not att. Cuz i have installed it on my phone and there are few Verizon apps in there.
BTW... When I Odin the files my neice disconnected the cable from pc and process didn't complete(I think it finished around 75%). When I tried going to download mode again for reinstall it gave me emergency recovery software error. Furnately, I was able to access my phone without any problem and nothing got deleted, but all my Samsung apps detecting it as modified firmware and whenever I try going to recover mode, download mode or safe mode I get the Emergency recovery error.
& I'm getting 4 options for software update now in settings.

Samsung pay and pass saying my phone is rooted.
Any suggestions how to Odin files again cuz I'm unable to get to download mode now. Thanks

Is your device or service provider from Verizon? Also, you may have flashed the odin files incorrectly. I see that you have 2 software update sections. Make sure you back up your files, flash odin files to their correct slots. BL to BL, AP to AP, CP to CP, CSC to CSC and flash userdata to Userdata/UMS. Also, flash with odin version 3.13.1. That should fix the problem.

Hey Venom0642,
I have updated my Note 8 to 4cre5. I want to get my phone back to cre1. I have switched carriers to Cricket. When I try to Odin cre1 to my phone it says it worked but it went fast and it is still on Cre5.
Any idea what to do?

Samsung S8 (SM-G950U1) stuck on "No Command" after download OTA update

Hello everyone
My phone has an issue after it downloaded and tried to install the OTA update from December. When I turn it on, it has a blue screen and says "No Command". I've successfully been able to boot into recovery mode and do attempt a factory reset but still doesn't work.
After some googleing, it looks like I need to install the firmware manually using Odin. I'm not exactly sure where I can download the firmwhere. I've gone to a lot of very sketchy sites that promise a download, only to then be presented with a "You must be a premium member" page. (Specifically, I've tried sammobile and am currently downloading slowly from updato.com, which looks the most promising)
Is there an official repository that has Samsung firmware or another way to recover my phone? I've tried the Frija tool but it doesn't work on my Windows 10 machine since C++ 2008 is not supported on it anymore.
I'm sorry if this is a really noob question. I promised I tried searching on the forum already and either my search terms are not right or the results aren't obvious to me.

Updato and Sam mobile are your best bets. Legit sites. Just slow. You can try internet download manager to speed it up some as it multi threads. On the no command screen try spamming the vol buttons and power buttons. And it should go back to recovery. But if not a full flash may fix

I must but using sammobile wrong. When I click the free link, it counts down from 30 seconds and then goes to their join page. When I join, then it says I have to pay. Is there a trick to this or is this by design?

I can get into "Maintenance Boot Mode" (where it asks if you want to safe boot) and the "recovery" mode (where it asks if you want to apply an update using sd or adb). But now, it won't even go into "No Command" and just stays at the Samsung logo.
I'm hoping a full flash will fix it.

Thanks for all the help!
Took six hours to download from Updato but it finally did and was able to flash the firmware using Odin.
