Hello everyone,
i decide to write this guide and to collect all the future Factory Images for Nexus S (i9020T,i9023,i9020a,m200)
Once installed them you retourn 100% stock.
This is usefull in case you don't want to wait official OTA or you have to use warranty for some problem or you like a really clean install.
Since Android 4.0 IceCreamSandwich you can't install OTA via update.zip method in stock recovery because is no more possible. If you try via stock recovery you get "error status 7" (this problem is corrected only if you use ClockWorkMod Recovery).
Then is necessary to use Factory Image provided by Google.

NOTICE: If you never used the sdk, the jdk, fastboot and adb, before installing the factory image YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW this guide in order to get sdk and unlock bootloader.
From this guide YOU NEED ONLY PART 1 and PART 2 (maybe in the guide speaks about "tools" now is "platform-tools")
1) copy the ecxtracted files (two times with 7zip) on android-sdk/platform-tools/ (this is important, if you dont unzip it, dont complain about "radio couldnt be loaded")
2) run a cmd and moves in "platform-tools" folder
3) write those command:
4A) If you are coming from a custom rom, this wipe your data/cache:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-********.zip
if you want relock the bootloader (not necessary, only for warranty) do also these two step:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
4B) If you are coming from another stock rom (official older OTA unrooted), this doen't wipe your data/cache:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-********.zip
if you want relock the bootloader (not necessary, only for warranty) do also these two step:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem lock
1) copy the ecxtracted files (two times with 7zip) on android-sdk/platform-tools/ (this is important, if you dont unzip it, dont complain about "radio couldnt be loaded")
2) run a terminal and moves in "platform-tools" folder
3) write those command:
chmod +x flash-all.sh
./flash-all.sh
"flash-all.sh" wipes your data (it contains fastboot -w update, if you want to remove/change it edit with notepad++)
"flash-base.sh" flashes only the bootloader and the radio.
