As you might have already known, Google has started rolling out Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update to Nexus One and Nexus S. But, again, they have mentioned on the tweet that it will take few weeks for the OTA to complete. Some nice guys at XDA Developers have back traced the download link of the updates. In other words, you don’t have to wait for OTA updates and can now download the ROM (they are official Google ROMs) and install it manually on your device. Nexus One Gingerbread update GRI40 from FRG83G. Nexus S Gingerbread GRI40 from GRH78. Read more to know about manual installation.
Steps for manual installation
-
First of all download the update from these links - Nexus One Gingerbread update GRI40 from FRG83G. Nexus S Gingerbread GRI40 from GRH78.
-
Rename the downloaded file as update.zip and copy it in the root directory of the memory card
-
Power down the device.
-
Power up the mobile by pressing the power button, volume down key and track ball. This will take you to the boot menu.
-
A screen would appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button.
-
When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
-
From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”

This initiates the installation process and the phone gets rebooted automatically once the process got over.
