Ive had enough of running buggy, battery hungry roms and would like to return my Nexus S to stock. The last time I was on stock was 2.3.6 I believe. If I flash via CWM to the official 4.0.3 in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445570 will I then be able receive OTA updates, ie to 4.1.2? (obviously Ill be rooted again, but im not fussed)
Returning to Stock
- Thread starter Rotellian
- Start date
Flash the stock images from Google and 4.1.2 instead.

Read the instructions, you need to use fastboot for these.
Buggy? Battery hungry
? You were in what ROM? All custom ROMs at almost 100% bugs free(especially CM10 and CM10/AOKP based). Weird ...Buggy? Battery hungry
Tried all sorts, Oxygen, NSCollab, early ICS roms (awful), others i cant remember. Best combo i had was stock 2.3.6/7 with a Kernel i think. I found that invariably they become less stable the longer you have them installed. Of course if you change rom a lot you'll never notice.

How did you root and unlock your phone then? Only way to do it needs an actual working connection with fasboot/adb. Even the 1 click crap uses that.
I guess nothing stops you from flashing 4.0.3 then going the upgrade route, but I don't see that as a very efficient nor a clean way to do it.
OMG, how can you stay with ONE ROM more than one week
. No seriously, there is 2 ROMs that they're perfectly stable and full of features: CM10 and ParanaoidAndroid. I no longer look to other ROMs. And ParanoidAndroid is in my device more than 2 weeks OMG, how can you stay with ONE ROM more than one week
It would be hard to call CM10 something related to stable (same for any CM10 base ROM). Even they don't call it that. That's why the nightly tag is for.
Other than "stable" "nightly" "RC" WORDS, CM10 is completely STABLE(at 99%). And i know what "stable" word means. Source: own experienceIt would be hard to call CM10 something related to stable (same for any CM10 base ROM). Even they don't call it that. That's why the nightly tag is for.

Managed to get ADB working on my old XP laptop, which i no longer have!
Just tried to install it, and again the driver problem rears its ugly head. Just wont recognise the inf file! Like I said, dont really have the time, guess ill just have to flash to 4.0.3 and wait for the OTA Dont have the time to muck about trying to get the drivers working. Might give it one last bash with the SDK
Returning to stock requires a computer. Official OTA updates will not install without the stock recovery.

You'll see a lot of people still have complaints regarding functions that get broken with each version, only to come back working after the next one. It's silly to assume CM team doesn't know **** about development and simply tag "nightly", "RC" and "stable" for the sake of it. Please don't bring up made up stability percentages into the lot.
You can glance at the nightly changelogs yourself to see NPEs getting corrected in relatively core apps nearly every week. Not just for crespo too, but regarding CM10 as a whole.
I'll give you that though, on a day to day basis, the rom is very usable. But good luck getting a 1000 hours uptime without the thing becoming sluggish.

Just get the PDAnet Android drivers.
Was just going to do that, but think ive got it working now. Im guessing a full install from google's image will result in a compeltely stock phone including bootloader?

Cheers, looks good
Does it include radio? Just flash with CWM?
If you use all commands from the flash-all.sh script, yes. No need to flash the bootloader and radio if you already have the latest version.

Next time I will flash a rom it will be the CM10 M3 + marmite kernel and stay with it till M4.
Was thinking about going back to stock, too, but custom roms has features that makes the life easier, like profiles, skip tracks with volume buttons, move cursor with the volume buttons etc.
