You should flash it with fastboot.

You'll need to have ADB installed:

fastboot flash recovery 3024v3-i9023.img
fastboot reboot

If I need to backup my entire phone like everything including the OS I'll do a nandroid backup. If I'm messing with ROM's and want to restore just the apps and app data I'll use Titanium backup. Just remember to only restore apps and app data.

Thanks Mikroft, got it working. One last thing though, when I end a call the screen just turns off and I can't turn the friggen thing back on. Its like it freezes and I have to battery pull to get it working again. Any one else getting the same thing?

Is that before or after you flashed a ROM? I probably won't get mine till thursday.

It actually happened before I even unlocked the bootloader I believe. Which makes me think its an app like NoLED thats causing the screen to become unresponsive or something. I got a friend to call me while it was "frozen" and the thing vibrated and my friend said it was ringing. But nothing rang on my end. Then like 5 seconds later the lockscreen appeared and everything was okay. So weird.

I figured it out. I think it's my Proximity Sensor thats broken. It registers that my face is still next to it even way after the call has ended making the entire screen and button combo useless. I don't even know how to test this though without killing the lifetimer because I want to return it before the 30 mins are up maybe. God damn.

I know that 3g provides better speed for data but lowers battery life but does it have anything to do with the amount of data used?

Amount of data used should be the same.

Which screen does the Rogers version of the Nexus S have?
Super LCD or Super Amoled?

SAMOLED

I dont see a samsung nexus s on the rogers site... is that also coming with the hd video and the 8mp camera?

not sure about hd video, but don't all Nexus S's have a 5mp rear cam?

Ya 5mp on the back and VGA on the front

Flashed to CM7 Nightly Builds and it looks like I lost my MMS settings. Other than that everythings working smoothly, I returned my defective Nexus and it was a breeze. Now I can finally make calls. Post up mods you've done so far.

just bought a nexus S from mobilicity -- do i need to do anything to it?

^Enjoy it in all it's stock AOSP goodness!! :woot2:

i got my tax refund.. woohoo.. Nexus S, here i come!

i should prolly save it to pay bills.. but im starting to hate my dinky Nokia 5230

How are you guys finding the call quality? For some reason during calls I turn on Max volume but its still very quiet..

can anyone suggest a case for this? i read the screen was made of glass ...

Confirmed. My Nexus S was shipped out from Telus today. :)

Almost all Android phones use glass displays. The case I would probably suggest is something like a Case Mate Barely There or an Incipio Feather. Although I haven't checked if they're available yet.

Gorilla glass?

I don't think it's Gorilla glass on this one. Unless Corning is able to make curved Gorilla glass now.

do these cases cover the screen? sorry if it's a n00b question.
