I recently took my Nexus S 4G back to Sprint and ported back to ATT and bought a i9020A for ATT from Best Buy this past Friday. After checking XDA i noticed that theres no stock images for i9020a. I'm currently running a CM7 nightly and i have a Nandroid of my stock rooted GTJ61 which is what the i9020a for ATT was released with. Im aware that there are several roms that will work on the gsm models but i think its confusing to say the least that there are only 2 developer threads (Nexus S and Nexus S 4g) Would it be possible to start separate development threads for the various GSM models? And can anyone direct me to the stock system images for the i9020a that are flash able via fastboot such as the ones listed in the Nexus S 4G thread? Im really surprised that as new as the Nexus S 4G is that there are stock images available for it but yet there are none available (at least not that i can find) for the Nexus S i9020a that has been around longer (despite the fact that its just now been publicly advertised for att, it has been available off the record by Negri Electronics for few months now)
Any help of leads would be greatly appreciated

why are you returning it?
it is probably a carrier phone variant or slightly updated model.
here is a list of the variants of the Nexus S.

ok..Some Samsung rep said it might be a version from another country not USA
Anybody has a problem of "invalid serial no.:check your serial no" when trying to register the phone on Samsung website ??
Hi Guys,
I tried searching the web for this but just couldn't find a concrete answer.
Do carrier related phones still depend on the carrier for OTA updates when unlocked or they receive timely updates directly from the manufacturer?
I am buying an Unlocked T mobile One S here in India obviously because of the superior S4 processor. I read in the forums that the T Mobile Jelly Bean update really messes up the battery life. Hence I was wondering if even I would have the same problem.
So my question is, will my phone in India also get the T Mobile update or the HTC one. Also in the future, would it be receiving all OTA updates from HTC?

No
T-Mobile does not send the file themselves. Your CID, which is probably T-MOB010, is used to decide whether to give you world-wide, unbranded updates or something else. Yours will get the update from T-Mobile, but it will be released from HTC's servers
If you mean a SIM unlocked T-Mobile HTC One S, then yes, it will still receive OTA updates. Mine is SIM unlocked and still got the JB update.
Yes, would the unlocked T Mobile HTC one S have to wait for T Mobile JB update as per United States or since I am using it on Vodafone and in India, it would get the JB update as and when any other HTC One S in India gets it?
Glad if you could help.
Thanks.

Yes you have to wait as T-Mobile modify ota update and test again over there network then release it
It lags 2-3 months
I purchased my s4 HTC One S black
2 month ago from USA but not T-Mobile version it is factory unlocked European version
My opinion try more & you will find same as mine don't buy T-Mobile version when you update them they can be lock again 3g net frequency problem also there

Hi there, I am in the UK and as my user name suggests I currently have a Moto Razr Maxx which I bought a few years ago, it was an imported phone from outside the UK and because of its non-EFIGS firmware build the OTA updates were withheld leaving me stuck on ICS4.0.4. I am now looking to update my hardware and the Nexus 5 looks the way to go. What I do NOT want is to fall into the same trap again and have another phone that will not get the OTA updates.
I have sourced a nexus 5 reseller (Google claim out of stock for a long time now) but the phone is imported form 'overseas' it is a LG-D821 model which is sold as the 'international' version. Can anyone tell me if the Nexus phone firmware is regionalised like my Motorola or if I will get all the updates without the need to go the route of ROMs etc?

There are only 2 models. North America D820 and RoW D821. None of them are carrier branded, locked or restricted in any way. They all get OTA's exactly as they are intended, no matter where in the world you are.
