I am going to buy a Nexus S and the device has the i9023 marking.
I read that the basebands and the displays are not the same as the original Nexus S i9020.
i9023 has SLCD and the i9020 has SAMOLED( <3 it on my Galaxy S )
I also read a few threads here where people complained of not being able to flash roms and some not able to root i9023 because of something on the /cache partition.
I am currently using a Galaxy S and had a Motorola Milestone prior to this.
Can I run original i9020 ROMs on the i9023 device or will it be a problem.
When flashing a i9023, will I have to change anything or will it be downlaod flash and go.
Can someone please clarify this for me.
I'm thoroughly confused.
This device is a bit expensive in India ~600USD and I don't want to make a mistake while buying it. (I already made one when I got my Milestone...useless locked bootloader)
Thanks in advance.
I'm a recent i9023 Nexus S buyer and I can say that the Nexus S is still a very good buy. Even though currently I cannot install custom roms due to cache problems, but the stock GRI54 is pretty darn fast, even faster den my Nexus One on stock/custom rom.
At first I thought it was a huge bummer, but after using stock on Nexus S for awhile. I figured I can live with it for awhile until the problems get ironed out.
Will a 9020 not work in your country? If it does, I'm sure one of us could help you obtain one.

There's a thread in the general section about the Nexus S - 9023 S-LCD. In there a guy confirmed that he was able to install CM7 on his GT-i9023 Nexus S. Are you sure you're doing it right? You should take a look at that thread.

Maybe that guy has GRI40 instead of GRI54? Because from my other thread someone explained that his i9023 that comes with GRI40 works fine.

But in another thread opened by someone who had similar problems, those who had GRI54 in their i9023 have the same problem as me.

So you can't even flash CW recovery? If you can you could just nandroid a stock GRI40 if it's a problem with GRI54. This seems kind of odd since they are both technically the same phone (9023 w/GRI40 & 9023 w/GRI54)

I'm a new user of the nexus s i9023 and I had the cm7 nightlies #31 installed. The main problem is the cache error in CWM recovery and all u need to do is to flash the CWM for i9023 and everything else will work as per the i9020.

Has anyone flashed this on i9000 or i897?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055591
that is for nexus s.
nothing more needs to be said. would never work
I guess no one has ever ported app's to other devices?
since it is really only the update to google talk we are interested in not the radio and other b.s.
apps yes, kernels (from complete different devices) no.
so the 2.3.4 rom is useless without the kernel
otherwise we would have 3.0 honeycomb ported from honeycomb devices, and then we would say screw 2.3.4
its more than just the gtalk. otherwise it would just be an app update!
not saying that it would work but, there is no kernel in that update.
we would need top modify it EG: take out the radio.

Unless you installed a front facing camera on your galaxy s, 2.3.4 would be pointless (even if it was possible). Stick with 2.3.3 for now. I hear some very un-official rumors about 2.4 coming late this year or mid next year.

In my opinion since there is ways to load a custom kernel there is no reason to trade...there are lots of people working on unlocking the boot loader and I would like to see it unlocked. But, for now the ways that we are working around this issue are around and a good solution for now

It depends on your definition of downgrade because honestly I'm trying to figure out what makes this phone so popular?
It can't be the design because this is not at all a nice looking phone.. It can't be the ui cause touch wiz looks like a ten year old designed it
The galaxy nexus with jelly bean I heard is very smooth

There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).
This is the first time that I own a galaxy s phone and I bought it because of all the hype it gets.. There are like a thousand commercials about this phone
I truly want to know what it is that makes it a beast.. I'm not trying to be a troll or whatever I'm just curious?

I guess my main disappointment is the bootloader
But I understand that it's a newer device so it will take some time..

Any recommendations

Take a look at Nova Launcher.
Ok so I rooted the phone and it did make the phone a bit more interesting
Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms
Tapping that from another galaxy
It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms

Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.
Thanks for the advice guys I really do appreciate it

On the leak thread, it talks about radios. Do I need to worry about that? We don't have data, only text and voice. So what exactly do I need to flash? I don't know about kernels or radios.

Since it's your sisters phone why do "you" want to root it and get an official update?
I bet she wouldn't notice any difference.
Since your sounding unsure on what to actually do, I wouldn't be messing with her phone, as you might end up having a brick. (and a mighty upset sister)
Personally let her get it unlocked and use it as is.
But if you must...Embryo 6.0 is out Get it here

Inside the zip there lots of files. I just need to flash the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img in this order or eventually fastboot flashall?
Do I loose my data (photos, movies, music, docs, etc?

@nneves I think you can just flash the zip. Don't extract. You well not lose your data except when unlocking bootloader. Backup to be safe.
Guys the zip file is also in the forum. Just search for it.
