Now if you have Nexus S and want to upgrade it to ICS 4.0.4 but your Nexus S region/carrier has not released OTA update yet, you can do it manually by following below guide:
- First thing first you need to download the factory image firmware suitable for your phone model and extract it.
IMM76D ICS 4.0.4 Factory Image "soju" for Nexus S (worldwide version, i9020T,i9023).
IMM76D ICS 4.0.4 Factory Image "sojua" for Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a).
- Download fastboot and adb executable file and dll from here and extract it, for example in c:\android.
- Download Android usb / adb driver, download it here. If your Nexus S GT-i9023 driver not recognized, see this guide to fix it.
- Copy extracted firmware to c:\android (fastboot and adb folder), for example if i9023 firmware then copy bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img, image-soju-imm76d.zip and radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img.
- Backup everything on your Nexus S.
- Enable USB debugging on your Nexus S and then plug in USB cable.
- Open windows command prompt (in vista/seven click start then type cmd then hit enter, in xp click start->run then type cmd then hit enter).
- Navigate to android folder where fastboot and adb saved, to do this type cd c:\android in command prompt windows then hit enter.
- Type adb reboot bootloader in command prompt and then hit enter.
- Unlock your Nexus S bootloader, skip this step if the bootloader already unlocked.
Type fastboot oem unlock and then hit enter.
Bootloader unlock screen will show in your phone and select yes to unlock Nexus S bootloader.
- Continue to execute these commands in the command prompt windows :
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
- If you use custom rom before, then execute fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip , but if you use another stock rom before, then execute fastboot update image-soju-imm76d.zip .
- File names in above commands are depend on the firmware youv'e downloaded.
- If you want to relock the bootloader, simply execute this 2 commands :
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
