Guest Osapir Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Greetings, I have a Nexus S running version 2.3.1 with MoDaCo r5 (GRH78). I have gotten push updates in the past but they never worked. Now I'm dying to update my Android (tired of all these bugs and random restarts) but I don't want to lose stuff on my phone. Been trying to look for answers across the forums and failed. I want my 2.3.4. Please, help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arunshen Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Easiest solution is to wait for Paul to update MCR for the Nexus S, which he hinted us imminent. You should be able to flash it over your current ROM. Do a Nandroid first, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Osapir Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I would greatly appreciate it if someone showed me a guide explaining how to upgrade from my r5 version to the newest one (doesn't have to be the expected 2.3.4) without wiping or losing any data/prefrences (i.e remember my settings, passwords, text messages etc). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Download MCR, copy to SD Backup apps/data with Titanium Backup (already in your MCR) Reboot into Recovery Do a Nandroid backup Install new ROM As you're installing an MCR, it should install 'over' your current MCR without a wipe. If it fails you always have the Nandroid. If THAT fails you'll have the Titanium Backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arunshen Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 BTW: I'm assuming you have Clockwork Recovery on your Nexus S ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Osapir Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Again, thank you very much. I managed to get the hang of it a couple of days ago and successfully updated the ROM. I also helped a couple of friends who purchased the same device I did. Peace and Like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
