Trying to update twrp..."trying"

[fenrry]

I was trying to update this Nexus S, used to be mine but gave it away to someone, now is back and I was trying to update the whole thing, recovery, Os, yet I can't find a proper way to update the recovery and also I have Win8...when I got this phone rooted I had a Win7 machine, life was great, now with Win8 some things seem far from easy.

So I wonder if any kind soul could assist me as to lend me a hand about updating TWRP 2.3 to 2.7 so I can install a fresh rom, i have tried TWRP manager (useless as it can't find the proper device), Flashify is useless also as it can't find the img file and only shows TWRP 2.1 (why the fk do I need 2.1 when I have 2.3 ?), and Rashr is no good (it simple doesn't do anything at all... )

Any help is welcome.

I have uploaded TWRP v2.8.0.1 flashable zip. Flash it like any normal ROM in the existing recovery.

Thanks so much fo the Zip, is way easier to just have this done via TWRP/ZIP, than trying to install drivers and so on, it becomes a pain when one thing fails and then u have to start downloading files drivers and more.

Now I'll just start checking roms!

Hi There,
The latest Recovery for Nexus S is TWRP v2.8.x. Well u will need to flash the Twrp v2.8.x using fastboot because if you try installing the recovery using the TWRP Manager it will crash. I have a guide on how to root nexus s in the nexus s development section..Go through it . If you have a rooted Nexus S then skip to contect showing how to flash a custom recovery using Fastboot in my guide go through it and Enjoy..

Happy Flashing.
Good Luck

Thanks!, I forgot to reply about this, I managed to get things working, I really don't know how it happened but after repeating the steps several times something must have kicked and things finally worked.
