100% stock 4.0.2 never been tampered with.

Did the framework trick last night and i got the notification 1st time i checked.

I didnt reboot the phone either between clearing data and checking for update.

Just pressed check now buttom and BAM!!!!! update available.

I had been trying the normal way for days before this without success with clearing data and just trying to get it legit.

I also had wifi on which i think helps find the update better than over mobile data.

Looking to now return my phone to the stock branch... as I seem to be running a funky version of 4.0.3 for a UK Nexus S - are we a I9020A or I9020T and what was the out of the box version!?

I'd like to stick to the main OTA upgrades without root. Any good idiot guides?

BAM! About the 10th time of trying the clear cache the download is available... phew. Wasn't looking forward to clearing it all down!
