[Q] I havent been able to enjoy my nexus for 2 months due to my mistake please help

I have recently rooted my nexus s and installed custom roms. After a bit of playing around with different roms I ended up loosing all data connection.
I attempted to return my phone to stock using a thread on a forum but am now stuck with nexus 4g stock instead on nexus s stock?
Feel out of my depth and ergently need some calm advice and instructions.
My model is GT-19020 which has caused me much confussion as stock roms I find on the net are 19023 or i9020 or i9020A
I havent been able to enjoy my nexus for nearly 2 months due to my mistake.
I have also been informed that my radio could of been the wrong one during flashing and thats why I lost data?
thankyou
Is your Phone still alive?
Didnt you make a Backup of your Phones Rom?
Simply search for Nexus S Stock Rom is that so Hard?
Ahh and its the wrong Forum-Section, you should have post that into Nexus S Forum Section
Sorry if I am in the rong place, I am very dyslexic and so simple instructions sometimes are very hard for me to read and understand.
I have tried returning to stock but am now on nexus 4g?
Got a bit lost along the way and definatly confused as to which stock baseband version I should seek out. If you could help shed a bit of light on my situation I would be really gratefull.
Yes did make a backup of my origional rom but accidently wiped it.
My problem probally sounds a bit silly which i apoligise for just got myself into a muddle. I rely on my phone for my net connection which has hapered my attempts at fixing this issue.
Sorry again for sounding like a twat.
As you said you have the gt-i9020 it seams to be closely to be the 9020t variant mentioned in that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307 thread iwould say try the first rom mentioned there
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
how do i apply the image? I tried moving it to my phone then installing the zip through recovery but it failed. I am completly confused could you talk me through the process step by step?
No not really because i did not own a Nexus S, in my Country there is only the gt-I9023 Version to get and i did not want to get a bad screen...
But wait I see there is a good Tutorial in that Topic ive send to you and it is step by step...
you need the android SDK installed on your PC and if you follow the steps mentioned there it should be no Problem

[Q] Canadian Fascinate 4G

I am looking for some updated information on the Samsung Fascinate 4G. I received it as a gift, it is unlocked from Telus and running on Rogers, but it doesn't have root. I have checked it with root checker. I have read every post in the forum regarding this phone, and I know it can be done, but the posts are all well over a year old, some of the links don't work, and some of the posts are contradictory. Does Superoneclick root this phone running Gingerbread 2.3.4, Baseband: T959PTLKH2, Kernel: 2.6.35.7-T959PTLKH2-CL455087? Some say yes, others have had problems. I am leery on trying it because I am not 100% sure I can get someone to help me get it back up and running because it is a bit of a lone wolf. I was all set to try Odin, but again I don't want to be stuck with a phone that isn't working and not sure how to get it running again. Can somebody help me figure out how to root this baby. I would love to see the potential. Thanks for your time.

[Q] Sprint - Boost Flash

I would first like to start by saying i have searched everywhere on the forums for several hours trying to find my answer with no luck. so if the answer is indeed out there please point me in its direction.
I currently have a clean ESN on my non-active SPH-D710 Sprint Galaxy S2, rooted, and romed with build number "RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban GB27 2.0.0.5" Software version"GB27" Android Version 4.1.2, Kernal version 3.0.74+
I am currently using my active SPH-M820-BST, Android Version 2.3.6, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7, GINGERBREAD.FF19 Build number. Hardware Ver.M820.07. through Boost Mobile. (Samsung Prevail)
A friend of mine romed, and rooted the GS2 for me, but is no longer around to help, or teach me how to finish the project, i am very new at this, but know my way around the PC, Ive tried the very first step (or so i assume) to retrieve the GS2 MSL through Terminal Emulator // Connect Bot with "getprop ril.MSL", the command runs, but doesnt show the needed info. ive been trying to find a way to Flash this Boost over to this Sprint phone for weeks. I'm asking as well as apologizing if this has already been solved. I desperately need help with this. Please, and Thank You for your time.
Cool, thanks everyone, now i know why i dont use this website
You still need help

Rooting Verizon HTC One ???

Hey guys i need a little bit of help. Im trying to root my HTC one from Verizon but cant seem to find where and how to do it. I have searched thru Google, YouTube, multiple android forums but they all seem to come to a dead end because of the bootloader. Im not new to android and rooting but i have been away for a couple of years. I have been on an iphone. i had a droid x, and Razr and i rooted both and had custom roms installed so i think i can still do it if possible. Anyways can someone give me a link to the latest method and some easy to follow directions of how to do it if possible. Sorry if this has been covered before and thanks in advance.
