[Q] Help. Flashed my Telus Nexus S with ATT firmware, now network type shows GPRS.

I'm (obviously) a bit of a newb when it comes to android, and I was flashing back from cm7 to see how it was done. When I reinstalled GRJ22, everything was working fine. I then downloaded and flashed the OTA update to GRK39C (or so I thought). It turns out it was the update to GRK39F, which apparently is ATT or GPRS specific. My phone now thinks it's on ATT and is trying to use GPRS.
I'm on Telus in canada, and use HSPDA.
The phone was also showing baseband version I9020AXXKF1, it should be I9020AUCKD1.
I've tried restoring from a backup, flashing back to cm7 and to stock fw's, and even tried flashing the radio.
My phone still shows GPRS, and now baseband version shows I9020AXXKD1.
Is there any way to fix this? I hope someone here is knowledgeable about this...

That baseband is associated with the i9020t, or the t-mobile variant. The canadian nexus s is identical to the at&t version.
There is a sticky with all the roms. Use it and get the right rom installed

Unfortunately, the ROM I need seems to be one of the missing ones. Is there any way to backup the radio from my wife's (identical) phone and flash it to mine?

It looks like the file I need is 5282b5b3eb74.signed-sojua-ota-178324.5282b5b3.zip but I'm unable to locate a working link for the file. Can anyone tell me if this is correct and/or provide a live link?

Actually that particular one you want has broken tethering... This is a dump is the 2.3.4 with I9020AUCKD1 radio from my US import i9020a tested and working on SaskTel HSDPA+.

Thanks! I got it working by flashing the unsigned ROM in the sticky thread, and I'm running cyanogenmod 7.1 RC now. I'll keep the stock ROM on file just in case though...

Cool... I hope it works out well for you.
btw i got a rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 if you are interested as well.

So, for some reason flashing with your ROM set my phone to UMTS. Can someone refer me to a howto to backup a full ROM image from a phone, since my wife's is working fine and is on the right type of network.

[Q] No cell after 2.3.6 (and many attempts to fix it)

ok here goes, first off, i apologize if this is in any way redundant to someone's else question. with the amount of people whose phone got wrecked with the 2.3.6 update im sure somebody has had the problem im having.
like many people i just clicked "install" when google pushed the 2.3.6 ota. my phone was running 2.3.4. rooted. when it rebooted, i was greeted with the android exclamation mark.
i happened to have a clockwork backup so i tried restoring my backup. and restore it did, but not the radio. after the google update my radio was something like NO GSXXK1 or so. i tried the radio fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14564429&mode=linear#post14564429
i tried reflashing the stock 2.3.3 rom from google, wiping the bootloader and all. ive in fact tried many many things that ive read on xda and google forums.
now, ive managed somehow to have a running 2.3.4 with cell signal. using the efs file copy method in he link above. that restored my 3g and ability to place phone calls but sms arent working. i did the *#*#4636#*#* thing and notice that smsc is 00, i tried to set to the right value of +17057969300 for Rogers canada but all i get is an update error followed by a crash.
and now, funny, my search button is acting weird, like an eye that keeps twitching.
im not very knowledgeable in this stuff, just enough to get by and install custom roms but clearly im in over my head now.
why did copying my 3 efs file in the root of the sd card restore signal? i dont think these files really belong there, so just what the heck happened?
is there a way i can restore my nexus S to google stock rom when they shipped the phone? i mean, a complete wipe, sd, boot, radio...everything.
if i can start back with the stock phone, i can re-root again and start fresh.
any ideas please??
im physically tired of reading everything, misleading information and constantly flashing back and forth hoping its gonna work. oh and mandatory angry comment: thank you google for effing up my phone!
edit:
the only stock rom i tried i the 2.3.3 stock update available in clockwork. made no results.
current specs:
my phone is a i9020a
current baseband : NO DGSXXKD1
current build: GRJ22
android ver: 2.3.4
core: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected] #1

Thanks dude, i had actually done that and did manage to get a signal back. its SMS that just wont work and when do the INFO thing to set the right value, i either get update error or a crash.
i installed stock rom 2.3.4 and install radio uckd1. that made my signal work even without having to move the efs files on the root of the sdcard. but still no sms.
is anybody else getting sms problems? this was working before the 2.3.6 fiasco.
im with rogers canada, in ottawa.

ok, just to loop the loop on this one and hoping it will be of use to somebody else.
my sms issue wasnt related to my phone at all, once i had a signal back, that's as far as the phone was concerned.
i placed a call to rogers to let them know i couldnt sms anymore.
long story short, they tried many things but ultimately, its doing the "hard" reset on the network for my phone that did it. im sure there a better name for it but basically they erased my phone from their network, i had to wait about an hour for the change to propagate. when i powered the phone back, it resynced everything and sms was back online without a single thing to do.

[Q] Nexus S Status 7, No baseband, root doesnt work, no backup

hey guys, currently hating myself for rushing into this so badly...
i DO NOT have a backup of my stock rom
ive rooted my nexus s, it is the i9023 (thats what it says on the back) and im looking to either unroot it, or connect to my carrier through my current rom (peter alfonso 4g ics)
My phone isnt 4g, its 3g.
whenever i try to flash the rom for unroot (i9020t_9023.zip) i get the seemingly common Status 7 error... but ive google it aplenty and have found no fix
even if i did want to change the rom, i cant, because the pete one is the only one that seems to work... feel free to make suggestions, ill try them.
the last thing is my carrier. im on vodaphone australia prepaid. im not exactly sure how, but apparently reflashing the radio helps?
thank you for your help

[Q] Return to Stock for Nexus S

Hello there.
I would like to ask for your good help restoring my Nexus S. I'm actually really exhausted looking for answers and tried downloading programs (e.g. One Click Stock) already. I wouldn't try to poke you guys if I hadn't reached dead end. Painstakingly exhausted for the last 3 days plus the slow connection we have here.
Using One Click Stock by Michael Peerman, I'm stuck without a signal since it says that I'm on Sprint. Everything works except that I'm always without signal.
My phone is under Globe Telecommunications Philippines. Build Number GRJ22. Currently it is in Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I won't bother rooting it again. I just want a simple droid without the extra benefits of a rooted phone.
Any help pointing me to the right direction would be really appreciated.

just flash a stock rom! and that would make a stock nexus s! and if you want even more you can lock the bootloader again!! and about the signal try flashing another radio!

It's only the ICS rom the one fot t-mobile. The GB one is for everybody
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommana...s&name=Stock Images&deviceName=Google Nexus S

Hello There.
Thanks for the hot tip. I got it all back to stock.
I did was root the phone again,
installed ClockworkMod. > Mount USB to PC > on the clockworkmod folder I created new folder "backup". Then paste the Stock Rom.
Reboot to Recovery then install from zip.
Voila! It worked.
Very much thanks to everyone.

Stock is different baseband version
I had recently flashed an ICS rom and could not get my mobile data working after trying every single radio for my model I9020A.
So I used rom manger to download 2.3.3 stock GB as described in this thread. Now it is showing I have baseband version I9020XXXB1 and when I go to system updates it says my system is up to date. How do I update to newest version of GB and show the correct baseband version of my phone?

[SOLVED] No network? bb is correct...

Hi everyone,
I have just started playing with ROMS etc. and its turned my sluggish old-looking p500 into something beautiful,
The only issue is I just can't seem to get the network to work. Wifi is fine, but no service with the SIM card I put in there. I don't even get asked to put a SIM code or anything.
I have spent the last few hours desperately trying to get baseband v20 on my phone since LGMDP was not recognizing my phone, and I finally got it to work, expecting miraculous results, but alas! nothing! Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Specifically I have installed this rom: [DEV][ROM][4.4.2][CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500 [WIP][VER-12 OTA]
but have not updated through OTA yet.
And i flashed v20g using a stock version (one which didn't come with my phone). I guess I will try flashing a stock which depends on the new bb and see if that works...
Also, I don't know if this matters, but I got the phone in canada a few years ago and am now putting a UK SIM in there.
Thank you so much for any help you can give!!!! I really want to get this to work!
-A

extra words:
Also, I deleted a bunch of stuff on my SD and know very little about how SIMs work, so if I have the "wrong kind" of SIM or if I deleted something (I have it all backed up) that I need to put back on the SD card to make this work, please let me know!
Thanks!

If baseband is correct, then check your APN ( Access Point Names ). Settings->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names.

With my old SIM, I can see the APNs from back in Canada, but when I put the new UK SIM in (which shows APNs on my wife's samsung phone) I see nothing listed for the APN.
Should I create a new APN with the same settings as from my wife's phone? Or do I have to do something else?
Does it matter wether the bb is v20c or v20g? As long as its for the optimus one I mean?
Could this have to do with my phone being locked? I'm not sure if it is locked or not... I was trying to unlock it using the code:
2945#*900#
Thanks so much for responding, I had all but given up!
but nothing happens when I put that in. Do I have to revert to stock rom for that to work?

Update:
I tried to put in the right APN info, but I couldn't save it for some reason. Doing some reasearch, I found that this might be a "Funny SIM" problem, but only see patches to fix this under CM9, and I am running CM11. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Patch may work. Old baseband patch worked thru JellyBean ( CM10 ).
What you're referring to, v20c, IS NOT baseband but software version. What version of Android was the device running when purchased? Anything under 2.3 is old baseband while 2.3 and newer is new baseband. There are two baseband patches floating around XDA. One for new and one for old. Old baseband patch can be found in my FAQ for the LG Optimus One. Post #8 I believe. FAQ

I thought I had upgraded to 2.3, but since it wasn't working I flashed the new bb using this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530
and made sure that it had definitely flashed. My rom says it is baseband version V20g under the about phone section. So unless this ROM is supposed to be running the old bb (which it didn't seem like that was the case) the baseband version should be correct...
Also, I had previously tried the old bb patch which you are talking about; that didn't work either. What I understood was that "Funny SIM" is a different issue, but maybe I'm just reading the threads wrong.
Thanks again for your continued help!

Solved!
Okay, so it was because my phone was unlocked. I had to:
- Flash the stock ROM
- Flash the OLD BB
Then I was able to put in the code to get to the unlock screen. Once the phone was unlocked,
-Flash new BB
-Flash new ROM
And it works! Hooray! I'm not sure how to mark the thread as solved though?
