I am having the same problem and have tried several ways to update.
I flashed 3.1 OTA (KF3) then tried to update with KIES but no success.
Will update you if I figure out a way
If someone is successful, please let us know
Thanks

I guess, for some reason 3.1 OTA is an I/O update. So far I/O tab owners haven't received the TW update yet other than that 11 MB update that locked the boot loader. I don't know if there's an 3.1 OTA for the retail version, that can be ODIN to get back the unlocked boot loader and then update the TW. In the mean time, you can install the TW posted by Doc, as I did and wait for the next update for the I/O tab owners, and flash that update when it's available. .
So far everything is working fine, even the Google movies, except for Plex. One of the guy, Darrin at Plex forum said that the fix won't be coming in near future. May be they should share their codes with some dev on xda, and I'm sure the issue would be resolved a week or so.

This is a rooted 3.0.1 but i got an OTA that updated it to 3.1 (KF3) but it remained rooted. I got another OTA but its the 11mb update and not touchwiz. All in all, it was an unsuccessful attempt

The one there seems to be from the IO version. Once you flash that one, you get the update for google movies, but not the touchwiz update.

I tried this stock 3.1 several times already but always get the 11mb update. I'm going to return CWM to stock and see if that changes anything.
I'm going to give it another go!

Please let us know as soon as you find out

Had the same problem after installingfile called hc ota 3.1 from one of the forums.
I had to restore to my last backup (original 3.1) and then declined 11.2MB update, connected my device to kies and getting update throw it.

Same output. Still getting the 11mb OTA and Kies does not allow updating or even transferring files.
I finally gave the UEKMB+ROOT a try but I deleted the superuser.apk to unroot it
Works perfectly and KIES does say I'm running the latest firmware version and now able to transfer files using it
Hopefully when they release the next firmware I can use OTA.

Not that I'm going to use it but just curious cause I heard some people have them already

I got mine at BB when it first came out but I installed the Touchwiz ROM from here and then decided to go back to stock so I could get the official OTA but unsuccessful.

I'm using UELMB+Root, and I have the movie tab in the market. What you can do is, go to accounts and sync in the settings, remove the account and add it again. Also, clear data for market and videos application. Then open the market app, follow on screen instruction. Then open videos and choose your google account. I guess this should fix it. If not, go to CWM, clear cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot.

Samsung Nexus S 4G updated to support Google Wallet

Samsung Nexus S 4G updated to support Google Wallet
This has been posted on Engadget
"It looks like the rumors are true, folks -- the long-awaited update that brings Google Wallet to the Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint is indeed here, just two days shy of missing the "summer" deadline completely. We're pretty scant on details at the moment, but the announcement has shown up on an official FAQ page on Samsung's site informing us that build GWK74 is available. If you're a proud owner of the now fully-functional device, you should receive a notification stating that an update is available to deliver the goods via an OTA refresh. We're not sure how long it will take for this to get pushed out to everyone, so a bit of patience may need to be exercised here as you wait. Let us know if you're one of the lucky recipients below."
Has anyone else seen or heard about this yet? Is this different from when this was posted on Sprints site? Will it actually be rolled out now?

Samsung
Sprint update page shows nothing.
No update on my 4G yet.

FOTA_CANCEL is the harshest of messages at times like these.

I'm sure someone will post the APK soon, but given that it requires NFC Secure Element support, it might have to wait for a similar OS update to enable it on the non-Sprint models. Time will tell.

The access to the SE has been in AOSP since 2.3.5. If you have a pure AOSP or other custom rom based off of AOSP you should have access to the SE. If you are running stock 2.3.4 you won't though.

And i'm assuming that if you're on a non-stock rom that you can't OTA right?

To install the OTA, youll probably need to have a completely stock /system and the stock recovery.

My Nexus is Rooted, but otherwise completely stock. Too bad it's on T-Mo!

i'm a Nexus S 4g user, and mine is rooted too, but i'm running a custom rom. figures though, i guess tailsthecar3 is right. I'll need to have a stock system. i WAS on a stock rooted rom, and it looks like i'll have to wait for a new rom release with the next build.
lol GO SPRINT! (not really)

i just flashed back to stock, got a 22MB update and it's rebooting and installing now. will edit post later once i get the chance to play with it

I tried updating my stock rooted to the grj22 or whatever...I didnt have the stock apps in /system cause i deleted them, like books, google earth, etc. I wanted to try to update even though I knew I needed the stock /system. I put the stock recovery on it but because the update couldnt find the original files, the update failed.

Kansas City, and no, it seems to be maybe the 2.3.5 update. i don't have a wallet app.
but i'll be waiting for a few days with the stock /system and /recovery just to see what happens. just tweeted sprint for an ETA. seems like they would push the update before they announce it?

[NS4G] 2.3.7 Update (GWK74)

This is for the Sprint Nexus S 4G (SPH-D720) only.
This includes a radio.
Do not flash this on any other phone.
Here is the official 2.3.5 -> 2.3.7 ota:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...41.signed-sojus-GWK74-from-GRJ90.2e8d4014.zip
This must be flashed in stock recovery over stock 2.3.5 (GRJ90).
You will lose root.
Boot into recovery (hold volumeUp + power).
If you see a yellow triangle, press power + volumeUp.
Select "Install update from sdcard," and select the file you downloaded. (It may be helpful to copy the file from download/ to the root of the sdcard beforehand.)
* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *
If you're rooted with stock recovery, first use this to flash clockworkmod or twrp.
. . . . . (Scroll down to Flash Resulting Output.)
. . . . . (If it shows an error, reboot and try again.)
Boot into recovery.
Install this to get back to stock 2.3.5.
. . . . . (Or if you're already on it, just reflash the boot image.)
Install the 2.3.7 update.
Install superuser.
To keep recovery from being wiped, install leave_the_twrp_alone.
If you're coming from a custom ROM, you might want to wipe dalvik and fix permissions.
Power OFF.
Power on.
Install & run BusyBox Installer.
NOTE: If you had downloaded the modded ota update before noon central time Sept. 20, please flash this to update your kernel if you have wifi problems.
Superuser md5sum: ca9d0de5dcdb54eda50ba66ae502c38c
Leave_the_twrp md5sum: 257e951f898906a864f070b47076729b
GRJ90 boot image md5sum: ccf3b6cace6d2d113c2c2b3e3242b876
The filenames of the ota updates begin with the first 12 characters of their SHA-1 checsums.
Thanks Jorge330823 for posting the update file, from which I was able to extrapolate the original filename and link.
Thanks morfic for the dalvik wiper.
Thanks Bugless Pete for the full boot image.

Ive installed this on my stock NS4G. Im on android 2.3.7 w/ wallet and everything seems to be working ok. Took longer than usual to boot though. Thanks!!!!

Why would you lost root flashing over a stock rom? It doesn't go and remove /bin/su and su apk does it?
I would expect you should be able to flash over a stock rooted rom no problem.
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------
I just did the OTA on a rooted stock 2.3.5 (ODEXed) without any troubles. My bootloader is still unlocked and I still have superuser installed afterwards.

It changes the permissions of su from 6755 to 0755. I was under the impression that this would have ill effects.

thanks for the "without losing root" method and the update. i was having issue with wifi error, but the update you posted solved the problem.

Ah, you're right. I didn't actually try to launch an application that required su, and now when I do I see that there are permissions problems. Fortunately the superuser apk is still there and generates a zip file to easily redo it it from recovery.

I feel as if Sprint is the new T-Mobile for Nexus devices and will get the Nexus Prime before anyone else this time around. I think T-Mobile has seen it's days for at least until we find out what happens with them.
Honestly. I think T-Mobile is on it's way out. It was GOING to go to ATT and it would eventually roll over TO ATT. Not stay separate. OR, in case, now, I guess Sprint would be able to get them like they wanted? Where it would make sense for Google to back Sprint first like they have been doing. Or at least Sprint is there go to carrier now as the cheapest stable where T-Mobile is a little shaky I guess.

If anyone is wondering KE1 radio works with 2.3.5. I am running the cm7 kang btw.

You think it's google's choice? I can almost guarantee it's a matter of the carriers not being willing to work with google to get things like full Google Voice integration working on their networks... Google wants their stuff EVERYWHERE, and it needs to be everywhere to succeed. It's the carriers that are afraid of google giving people power to do what they want. Not a single person from a carrier likes the nexus phones. Why? Included tethering out of the box... The carriers don't like Google Voice, why? That one should be obvious, they want to serve you up visual voice mail for themselves (at a charge sometimes). Android includes navigation software like google maps, where as sprint, att, and VZW navigator are paid programs from the carriers with absolutely 0 relevance now that google maps is on phones.
My point is that I can bet it's not google, I can guarantee it's that carriers are scared ****less about the power android gives them and don't want to give google any breathing room. Sprint's in a bad position in America right now so they're giving in and seeing where it gets them.

@snowmanwithahat True! And that's also why at&t, t-mobile and verizon are joining forces to make their own mobile paymant system. But I think that google will win again .

I agree with you in general.
Nevertheless, the problem is IMHO the US phone market.
Operators have unlimited power over your voice and data.
Also, the phone/operator coupling is like a cancer for consumers.
Google should stand its ground with the Nexus line. Nexus phones should be technology demo phones and development tools. Nothing less than that.
Doing nonsense stuff like killing the tethering feature on AT&T Nexus phones, or stopping the updates on the TMO phones is going to shoot back, soon or later.
They have to make a decision soon: The orientation of the Nexus line.
Technology show off and dev tools, or mass market products?
When they have an answer to that question, the Nexus line will start to make sense again.

Does anyone know how to update to 2.3.7 and keep all data/settings? I'm rooted on the stock ROM. Can I just do the OTA? Will I lose root? If I do lose root, will I have to wipe phone and reroot (one click method)?
Please help :/
Problem solved!
Simply follow the first post instructions:
* * * To update to 2.3.7 / GWK74 without losing root: * * *
Boot into ClockworkMod or twrp.
Flash this to get back to stock 2.3.5.
. . . (Or if you're already on it, just reflash the boot image.)
Flash the 2.3.7 update.
Flash superuser.
To keep recovery from being wiped, flash leave_the_twrp_alone.
If you're coming from a custom ROM, you might want to wipe dalvik and fix permissions.
Power OFF.
Power on.
Reinstall BusyBox.

[Q] What a joke Anybody eles still not got the ICS update in UK

Anybody eles still not got the ICS update in UK getting to be a bit of a joke this now

why is it a joke, the update will come. I'm just wondering if people who buy android do not release that the updates roll out in batches and can take time before they get it.

Yea, they can't feasiabally roll out the update to everyone at the same time, it'd overload their update servers.
You'll get it, probabally within a week, just be patient.

Still no update for me in UK, been trying for about 2 weeks, lost the poor signal problem, and back to uptodate message, must admit it would be nice if Acer was forthcoming with a bit of information.

The rollout started on the 27th april 24th for others no support what so ever from acer in the uk no infomation has to why some users in the uk have not got it thats why its a JOKE and yes i do no it is in order it goes by the devices serial number and i started this thread to get replys from people in the uk who havent got the update so i would no if anybody eles was still waiting not from people to tell me to be patient and that i do not no how acer roll's out there updates thankyou very much

I'm in the UK, on stock 3.2,never rooted and never flashed custom ROMs and still haven't received the ICS even after installing the Enhancement app. Sent Acer UK an email and one of the solutions suggested by the rep was to reset the device to factory settings which I refused to go ahead with. It took me a long time to get the home screens the way I wanted them and apps installed. So,for someone to suggest factory reset is out of the question. I'd rather stay on Honeycomb till Windows 8 devices starts showing up,meaning no more android tablets for me. This is my 2nd Tablet and I've been absolutely disappointed.

So you ***** about not getting the upgrade but refuse to do what was suggested by the manufacturer to facilitate the upgrade? And it's Acer's fault?
If you want ICS that badly then dl one of the many stock ICS roms and do it manually. No need to root either.

In all fairness we shouldn't have to factory reset are device and reinstall all the apps and get are home screens back how we had them just to receive a update from Acer in most cases anyway it does not work it didn't for me i did a factory reset, it sorted my issue out with the market not upgrading to play store but that was it still no ICS so factory reset doesn't always work that is just Acers answer to a lot of problems when the customer rings or emails regardless of the fault 9 times out of 10 this does solve the issue but i don't see the relevance to doing a factory reset so we can download the update from acers servers the problem is acers fault not the customer and not the device so i would ***** aswell if i was told to reset and reinstall all my data with no 100% guarantee that it would update to the ICS the stock ics roms are they fully working or is there still issues with the orientation and wifi ? CyaN1de are you running one of these stock roms or are you running ota thanks

Thanks for that response. Some ppl do not understand that not everyone is technically gifted in terms of installing custom ROMs or tweaking software on devices. One has to be very patient by following instructions to the letter and still, some end up bricking their devices.

I agree that a full reset should not be required, but complaining your unit is not getting OTA then not even trying what was suggested and blaming someone else is just silly. Now if the reset did not work THEN I would be complaining non-stop to whoever would listen.
I run OTA on wifes A500 and custom Flexreaper (atm) on my A500 (had Icylicious on previously).
Put custom on mine the day I got it as I didn't want to wait for OTA because I'm an impatient SOB.
The 1.031 leaked rom on here is the same rom my wifes tab was updated to OTA. So simply extracting the update.zip to sd card and flashing via power+vol button is the same as getting it OTA from Acer.
1. Download zip from http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=151
2. Unzip and extract update.zip from archive
3. Transfer update.zip to root of your micro sd card
4. Power up tablet holding power + vol (closest to power button) until you see something like "booting recovery kernal image" in upper left
5. Tablet will update to ICS and reboot.
All your apps and settings will remain as is.

Believe me, I am certainly not "technically gifted" in any way, shape or form. LOL
It simply comes down to following instructions (sometimes having to read them 3 or 4 times as not everyone's first language is English) written by the developers.

Apparently the 1.031 has been OTA'd in both Europe and Canada that I have heard of (was originally reported as European release only) Take a read in the Dev section, I am sure the same question has been asked regarding compatibility with certain gen's.
I am not up on what the different gen's are but I believe the differences are in the locale settings such as wifi and gps and such.
Still trying to figure these all out.

Its here in Uk (East Midlands),Got mine this morning 1/2hr download,10mins install, first reactions, dissapointing,expected more, yes display seems higher res, not yet noticed any other major changes but not used fully yet, so all you still waiting dont expect a lot.

i STILL haven't received my ics update in corby (uk) its starting to really get on my nerves now! feeling like I'm the only 1 waiting lol..don't want to use a leaked 1 as I'm not 100% with where to put it etc when u extract bla bla. I'm pretty good with my tablet normally but so wouldn't trust myself with updating the firmware manually

[Q] Scared to return to stock for OTA d800

Is the ATT OTA any good or provide significant improvements? My phone is currently running pretty flawlessly with Grevious ROM and I'm kind scared to brick it following the Flash to stock thread instructions lol. I've read the instructions several times and I'm confident in following them, but I really don't want to somehow brick it or get into bootloops and be out a phone for any period of time.

I also wouldn't bother with it. Besides the LG flash tool won't work since you are using a Rom with a different base. You would need to flash the stock rooted Rom or clean rom.

I unrooted and took the update. It's nothing life changing.

Cool thanks all. I'll just skip it for now!

Avoid it like the plague.

You're not missing anything, if anything you're saving yourself aggravation. There's not a single improvement that I can see with the phone yet it's introduced a nice battery drain by the name of "Android System" once you update to the new firmware. Happened to my original G2, and last night on my 2nd G2 when it auto updated as I was sleeping. You'll notice "Android System" now taking up about 50% of your battery usage. I don't even know how it automatically updated last night as I was sleeping, must have been like that Windows auto update thing where it tells you it's gonna do it in 15 minutes unless you intervene or something. I'm really debating if I should try to flash it back to stock because it's that bad, this coming from a person running it stock this entire time without even rooting.
