Help unable to flash nexus s anymore

[gettons]

Hi all,

I have a samsung nexus s GT-I9020 ( no rooted , no custom recovery ) and 1 week ago I received the OTA update for Ice Cream Sandwich. I updated but, after 1 week usage, I noticed serious issues with the battery. So I decided to revert back to gingerbread, by downloading a stock firmware 2.3.2-GRH78C nandroid backup and trying to do

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

and so on.

But I do have a problem here. When, in fastboot, I first ran fastboot flash boot boot.img I got an error on the terminal

sending 'boot' (8192 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.185s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
finished. total time: 1.191s

and on the phone screen I can see

FAILED exceed blocks 0x0000001e > 0x0000001c

Similar error happens if I try the system partition, with the following error on the terminal

sending 'system' (151476 KB)...
OKAY [ 22.184s]
writing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
finished. total time: 22.189s

and on the phone screen

Invalid Magic Code 0x00000003


The phone now has a recovery image ( clockwork ) which I have been able to install, but this is not able to browse any of the filesystems available. So I was looking at some stock img files I could flash via fastboot, At the moment the phone just hangs at fastboot mode saying no boot image is available.


I am using a ubuntu oneiric 32 bit and I have the latest android sdk tools.

This is not the first time I flash images using fastboot and I really have no idea why this is happening. It might be because my android version was icecream ? I have never had issues when flashing different versions of gingerbread. Also I used the encryption feature of icecream sandwich, if this is useful for you to know.



Thank you very much, hope someone can help me with that.
