Hi,
I had an european I9023 Nexus S with s slightly modified system (stock ROM, but rooted, with a custom kernel, and updated radio).
The phone downloaded the OTA update to 2.3.6 but was unable to apply it because of the modified kernel.
So I made a custom OTA update that will update the system from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 but won't touch the kernel, the radio or the recovery (stock ROM will overwrite recovery on boot by default, so I disabled it).
Here you can download it:

I have applied to from clockworkmod recovery. Please note that it is not signed, so signature verification must be disabled.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING!
I won't be responsible for bricked phones
Have fun.

I am running the Modaco Stock ROM Kitchen "10/May ERD79 -> EPF21B - Stock ROM for Nexus One images / zip / online kitchen (optional root / insecure / himem)":
http://android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/300414/10-may-erd79-epf21b-stock-rom-for-nexus-one-images-zip-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/
- ROM = Stock EPE54B
- BOOT = SuperBoot with Himem
- RECOVERY = Amon_Ra's Nexus One Recovery 1.7
- The FROYO 2.2 OTA will work automatically ?
- Do I have to go back to the STOCK Recovery image ?
- Do I have to go back to the STOCK Boot image ?
- If I get the OTA can I save it as OTA.ZIP and then from the Amon's Recovery do Update from Zip ?
Thanks
No need to spam MoDaCo AND xda...
From what I understand you will NOT get the ota if you have a custom recovery. We will have to wait until the .zip file is out and flash it from SD like every other rom.
you will get it with amon ra but won't be able to flash.
I'm tired of all these froyo threads.

I followed the instructions in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
And after the installation I got Build ERD79 (original shipping ROM), almost immediately I got the OTA update to 2.1-update 1 and now my device has the build ERE27 (official update).
That means if you go back to Stock ROM and Recovery, the OTA process should work fine.

So will we be able to flash the official update.zip once it is posted with the custom recovery or would we have to revert back to flash it all together?
I've seen some say yes and some say no.
Thanks!
Just want to start by saying this is a great forum, lots of information, and I've read alot of it, as there are so many twists and turns depending on your device.
Here is where I am at with my first time rooting/installing a custom rom
Started with stock Model GT-I9000M, Firmware version 2.2, Baseband version I9000UGJL2, Kernel 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #3), Build number FROYO.UGJL2.
Step 1, I rooted my device using SuperOneClick
Step 2, backed up /efs and /st13 folders via ADB and BusyBox
Step 3, Backed up apps, sytem data via Titanium Backup
Step 4, Installed CWM from Android Market, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, selected 'Galaxy S i9000' when prompted
(Honestly this was confusing as I tried to select 'GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)' as I have the i9000M, but was prompted with the 'GalaxyS i9000 (MTD) does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet.')
Now have 'ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2' installed, but was unable to boot into it, as I found out I have 3e reovery, which doesn't allow the installation of zip files without signature verification. So after much reading I learned I can get around this my installing a custom kernel, searching this link I realized there is no CF-Root kernel for my UGJL2 build, after more reading I came across this link which said if on stock Froyo with 3e recovery to use the latest Super Optimized kernel. I now have Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected]_8_3#1725, and am able to boot into CWM recovery.
Step 5, I am following the instructions below to complete the installation of my choosen Deodexed Gingerbread ROM, and I get to the second last step which tells to upgrade to the GingerBread bootloader, but after doing so I'm reverted back to 3e reovery, with no access to CWM recovery.
Installation Instructions
1. Make sure you’ve backed up any apps / data you need to keep
I would recommend using Titanium Backup. Also, it is best when upgrading to a new version of Android to only backup your user apps and not to include any system data.
2. Copy the XXJVP_Deodexed_I9000M.zip ROM file to your phone.
3. Upgrade to the Gingerbread bootloader
You need to do this only if you’re currently running the original ROM (or any Android 2.2 ROM). Read and follow the instructions here carefully. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14013450&postcount=1)
4. Flash the XXJVP_Deodexed_I9000M.zip update using CWM.
So I have reinstalled the Super Optimized kernel, and am able to access CWM recovery, is it safe to upgrade this ROM without the GingerBread bootloader? I obviously won't be able to use the GingerBread Bootloader, as it blocks CWM. Any advice would be appreciated.
Two side questions,
1. When I was doing this post, I accidentally clicked the wrong phone in the 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery', and had to redo the flash again picking the 'Galaxy S i9000', however, now when I reboot, there is no option for the Super Optimized Kernels 'advanced ulk features' so that I can ensure that the lagfix is disabled when I get to actually flashing the ROM. If I reinstall the Super Optimized Kernel again, will that option show up again?
2. When booting the phone now, I noticed the graphic that shows the model number of the phone starts out with 'I9000M' and then switches to 'I9000', dropping the 'M', is this an issue, or do I just ignore?
Thanks again.
im using motrola milstone a853 my friends mobile when i took wit him it was rooted and running cm7 i flashed Singapore froyo sbf rom and wana install custom recovery flashed sbf recovery when i try to in stall recovery from sd card it shows installing update veryfing update package and cant find update binary and rebbots to stock recovery again i tryd minimod by fufu openrecovery .etc
If I understand you, you'd like to install a custom recovery, right? If thats what you want, then you need the original vulnerable recovery (which might been overwritten when you flashed the stock froyo rom) first. Follow THIS guide and it has anything you need.
I rooted my n7000 and flashed PA 3.99 RC2, everything working fine except external sdcard cannot be mounted.
So then I tried to update my CWMR from 6.0.3.7 to 6.0.4.3. The flashing process success, but it revert back to 6.0.3.7 on reboot. PLEASE HELP
If you used rom manager to update, it will not work as note has it incuded in kernel. You will need to install a different kernel to update the recovery.
I am looking for the latest method for recovery install, and thereafter install lollipop or the most recent OS that will run on this baby. The phone is already rooted. I have read a whole lot but I am suffering from info over load now.
I did install Rashr and RomManager but neither successfully installed a recovery.
I897 has 2.3.5 rooted stock
Flash a custom kernel, and you're set. Samsung device has their recovery and kernel on the same partition
