With rumored dates for the Nexus S 4G Android 4.0 update on the horizon, the official stock image files have finally surfaced. Thanks to a source, we were leaked the files with exclusive access. Our leak contains the whole shabang: an updated signed_radio.img, boot.img, bootloader.img, recovery.img, system.img, and userdata.img. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the full official IMM76D ICS ROM coming to the Nexus S 4G OTA very soon.
An official release date for ICS has yet to be announced for the Nexus S 4G. But, its sibling, the GSM Nexus S, received its update two days ago. The last still officially supported Nexus device to not receive an update to Android 4.0 is Sprint’s Nexus S 4G. Of course, this is due to the WiMax support needed in the update. But there’s no need to wait any longer. The guide to install the full update is below.
