I've taken this phone home to India after buying it in the US and am using it with an Indian SIM. I cannot seem to get the phone updated any more? Any particular reason why? I tried the above method, wouldn't work. is there a detailed website that shows how to update 2.3.4 to 4.1.2? Do we need to update to all intermediary OS's before getting to the latest version?

I was able fix this after numerous reading and tries. Had to > fastboot oem unlock > flash stock 4.0.4 again, then flash 4.1.2. I used the images from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Hope this helps for those stuck with the assert failed issue.

After manually flashing (not rooted) 2.3.6 and 4.0.4, things work fine. But when I try flashing P2lZDQWb.zip for 4.1.1 from Fastboot > Recovery, I get an error after verifying package. assert failed apply_patch_space (16570800). Did anyone encounter this and resolve? please assist. Thanks.

PERFECT - the only process that worked - I tried a lot of variations on clearing/stopping Google Services before this one worked - Genius! AT&T Nexus S I9020XXKI1 - now just waiting for 4.2!

Add me to the list of people with an i9020A phone stuck on ICS. It's frustrating knowing there's an update out there if someone would just go to the effort of flicking the switch. I'd prefer not to jailbreak but I don't see much option.

Tried it again and still no success. I would not be surprised if ATT never intended to offer the OTA upgrade and shut down the access point once discovered. Someone at ATT wanted to help the customers get updated. They are probably looking for a new job knowing how ATT operates. Google definitely needs to step in and own the upgrade process post JB.

This doesn't seem to work anymore. Looks like Google fixed it.

Same deal as the rest, i9020A AT&T IMM76M (sim in or out, doesn't matter) can clear the Google Services Framework and reboot the phone and whatever else until I die of starvation and nothing changes. Always 'up to date'!

And today's news about the dialer exploit (the Nexus S will auto dial/execute to display the IMEI instead of making you have to push call, so it is hypothetically vulnerable to the wipe issue) that is fixed in Jelly Bean is like a slap in the face.

Tried exactly as stipulated this evening and no dice for me either. I tried a second time and force-closed Google Framework Services before clearing data (as mentioned in other posts) but still no joy. Would turning off Location Services make a difference?.... I think if this did work at one time, that window is now closed... Guess I'm rooting this bad-boy...

Having same issues, tried all the steps multiple times and still was unable to get it to update. After i rebooted from clearing data from Google Service Framework and went into about phone / system updates is said up to date ( last check 06/12/1969 ) for a couple seconds than said last check was current time. Am i doing something wrong??
