I had an update to mine this morning but doesnt seem to have changed anything. Does anyone have any idea when google is going to roll out ICS over the air to the Nexus S?

Reports are saying that the OTA update which was stopped in December is due to roll out again "within the next few weeks".
 
I updated using the .zip from the android repository, pretty pleased so far. Flashed using Clockworkmod and still have root too.

Might be too early to tell but the Android OS and System seem to be behaving themselves in the Battery Usage stakes.

It's running nice and smooth and quick, but to be honest I never had any sluggishness with previous versions to complain about anyway.
 
Totally stock 4.0.3, won't update :( lots of people having the same problem as me:

I've never once received an OTA update (waited months for one of the 2.3.x updates!) so I've always manual flashed... will be a massive annoyance if they have prevented us from doing this :mad:
 
Sweet thanks, downloading now :D

Silly question; can I still flash this from Recovery? It's a .tgz file, so not entirely certain what to do with it!

I did it with the Android SDK installed (has Fastboot) and Google USB drivers.

Extracted the files from soju-imm76d-factory-ca4ae9ee.tar (You do it twice with some fiddling).

Phone into USB-debugging mode and booted into the bootloader then plugged and into PC.

Copied the extracted files into the “platform-tools” directory and then running CMD (windows command prompt) from the same directory flashed it with these commands:

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-soju-imm76d.zip
fastboot oem lock (done after completed)​
