The Nexus S 4G gets ICS 4.0.4. Where the Nexus S quickly received its due share of the ICS goodness, the Nexus S 4G was left without something official coming out for the device. However, that has changed with the leak of an official Android 4.0.4, yes, not 4.0.3 but 4.0.4 for the Nexus S 4G. The leak comes to us courtesy of XDA-Developers forum member mrxkills who had earlier released the files that could be flashed via ODIN, and now thanks to Swap Goblin, there is now a CWM flashable zip file availabel as well, making it much easier for users to install this firmware on their device. Even better, the ROM, is rooted. Read More

Nexus S 4G gets Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, but it only comes as a port for now, courtesy of Android Central forum member Beezy.

The port comes right after the recently released Android 4.0.3 OTA update for the Nexus S GSM device, and frankly we all saw this coming. However the actual update for the 4G should be coming out anytime now but if you want to give this ROM, named, ICS-Dooderbutt 4.0.3 v1 a run on your device, we can tell you that the ROM seems to have most stuff functioning very nicely, apart from Wi-Max of course and a broken camera as well.

With the Android 2.3.5 update for the Nexus S 4G up for download on the internet on the servers at Google, users must be flocking onto the download link to get their hands on the update.

Chances are, that only users who prefer stock non rooted devices, or users who don’t know much about rooting will get the official update installed on their devices, while more advanced users who prefer a rooted Nexus S 4G, will wait out for a rooted firmware or a rooting method for the 2.3.5 firmware.
