Download the OTA package here
Rename it to update.zip, and place it on the root of your internal storage
Shut down your phone, and reboot into the bootloader by holding volume up and powering back on
Choose "recovery" from the list, and select it with the power button
When you see the red triangle press volume up and choose to update

IF YOU ARE ON CWM:
Just got an Android 2.3.1 update for Nexus S. It's on ROM manager if you want it. Make sure you flash recovery 3.0.

Also, for this to work you must be on Stock Recovery. This will not flash properly if you are using clockwork recovery

Correct. Koush is currently looking at fixing this for CWM.

Can we try to update and flash the zip using adb?

This was just tweeted:

edit nevermind got update

I just got prompted OTA for this update. Anyone know it I was to accept it, would I have any problems since I changed my recovery to ClockWork recovery?
I know it's been said it's on rom manager now, I am just curious if there would be any potential problems of accepting OTA updates with the stock recovery gone.

I have cwm recovery flashed and looked in Rom manager but is getting that "the rom you are using does not support ota updates etc" How did you manage to get Rom manager to update it to GRH78??

ive tried every way listed on xda but still get a "error 7" when trying to flash the update. i am using stock rom with clockwork 3.0. anyone having the same issue or any way to fix it?

usb disabled?
Got the message from Google to update. So I let it do its thing, said unable to update zip and now seems my usb connection is broken. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm on NS despite my sig Also on CWR 3.0 unlocked

are we supposed to be able to install this 2.3.1 update that we download from rom manager?

How did you get it to download? I hope Koush gets CWM to play nice with the updates.

Well there is very little info in OP
and could be worded little better to avoid confusion
You have to put on Wifi and go to download ROM for some reason if you on on mobile network it wont show the update in rom manager
Dont bother it wont. From what i gathered we have to wait for modified version

Download the zip, choose to open with rom manager and it will flash fine with cw recovery 3.0.0.

Got great news! I got it to work! All I did was put the .zip file on the root of my sd and used Rom manager to "download rom" chose the .zip file and voila!! It installed everything fine. I am officially on GRH78. Hope that helps people out!

is this with the paid version or non-paid?

the CWM update will work of you have not used Koush's rooboot.img and are running a the rooted boot.img.
He said he will release a version later tonight that should work with rootbootimg installed as well.

glad im on stock recovery + root.

Bricked?

I tried to flash MIUI from TWRP recovery and it reboots right back to recovery. I used cwm from the sdcard, flashed there and when I take it out it reboots back to TWRP. I tried to flash other roms but they all failed both ways. Help? Please?

You may be in a recovery bootloop. Look at my tips thread linked in my signature to see what that is and some possible ways to get out of it.

Worked perfectly after I used your CWM 5.5.0.4. Thank you so much. I and I bet a whole bunch of other Nook Color users that had issues with it, appreciate your help.

Maybe what happened to you is that you had flashed a custom recovery, but then in the next reboot the stock recovery was automatically re-flashed.
Try to install custom recovery by Terminal Emulator, then reboot to recovery right after you flashed using command code. I believe you can search for this inside our Atrix HD forum sector.
If you can boot to CWM recovery, there will be a CWM icon instead of an Android bot with its belly opened as in Stock recovery.
Good luck.

Done
Ok thanks too much!! just need instal the Recovery, after that the installation of CM run and installation finished as normal!! there is a new version of CM 10.1 stable, it was what I flash it!!

Like I mention in every one of these threads, Status 7 is, at least 99% of the time, a bad download. Redownload and verify the MD5 checksum.
The MD5 for the official nightly is "513639551c586888db38bc9b17c7dab2". Use this program to verify the MD5 checksum.

Thank you. I just flashed that recovery and it worked.

I'm having the same problem with every single 4.4 and 4.4.x rom. I've tried removing the lines of code method already, running 6.0.2.8 cwm

4.4 needs the latest CWM to install. Try using Philz Touch Recovery or install the latest img from the Clockwork website.

I don't know if any of you guys solved your issues but you need to download cm11 onto external SD card then download philz touch version of cwm also on ESD card. Flash philz touch in your already existing cwm whatever version that may be. I forgot if it will boot back into recovery automatically but get back into recovery. If you are soft bricked get back in recovery by holding the power and vol up button I think and just flash rom as normal wipe data/cache/dalvik etc. That's how fixed my status 7 and flashed OSE 4.4.2 and loving it. Hope I helped.

Nah, it's the dual core technology right before the animation for the startup. I posted a thread about the problem.

Try flashing Phil's Recovery, it should be version 6.0.4.5. Once I flashed Phil's I have not had a failed flash of any 4.4 Rom.
Here is the link in case you need it.

Maybe try going back to stock and starting over. Whenever I have strange problems like this and everything checks out, I revert to stock and start over.

I've lost access to recovery (TWRP)

I recently tried to update recovery via "TWRP Recovery" app from the Play Store. I now know that this was not the correct way to do this as the KK & LP bootloaders have to have recovery "bumped." As of right now, I get an error whenever I try to boot into recovery. Phone works just as it did before but I would like to know how I could get my recovery back. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. - Thanks!
Currently running BlissPop v3.9 w/ stock kernel.

I am still not able to get to my recovery after trying this method. I am getting a "Secure Booting Error." Should I delete the recovery that I already have on the SD Card and try to flash again?
