If you're rooted using MIUI, CM, or any other custom mod you won't be able to do the update - it verifies the ROM you're on - wants stock GB.

Use this ROM instead. *Still uploading at time of post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396038

Cool, thanks for confirming that. I guess Techcrunch photoshopped that screenshot together.

Have you tried it? I have a GSM Nexus S but not on T-Mobile. Does that actually make a difference?

Tried it on my T-Mobile Nexus S and it worked perfectly. Can't speak to other carriers but doubt that it matters.. try at your own risk though.
