could it b b/c im rooted on GB?
thx
No. As long as you're on official firmware, it doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.
thats a shame. thx for replying
they should give you 2 codes..one of them should work
well, they did, but it didnt workd
Call them again and tell them that. They should give you a working code.
been try to unlock while rep was on the phone, didnt work, she said thats what she got, maybe ill try again some other day.

Hi,
This may sound like a very stupid question to most people but I do not know how to solve it. I got my Nexus S (t-Mobile) from a friend a couple months ago. I rooted it and installed Nexus Beam 4.1.0. I was running it perfectly until I was so stupid to decide to try to run stock android 4.0 and unroot. I unrooted with a One-click-unroot. Unfortunately, it put my phone as a Nexus S 4G? Every time I try to install the T-mobile ROM, it aborts in the middle of installation. I will attach a couple pictures to further explain my problem. I just want to get the phone on stock Android running the T-Mobile Baseband. I can assure you this is a T-Mobile Nexus S, and not a Sprint 4G.
Thanks in advance.
Which stock ROM did you use? Maybe you can try rooting it and install Nexus Beam again and see if it still says 4G?
xD dude that's bad ass!.... but sorry about the error lol
- Google
@WindSlash-- Alright. Ill try it. I think its the baseband that I have to change though. Its weird. T-mobile SIM doesnt work on it though as of right now so I am not sure. As for the stock ROM i used, I just followed the steps of this One-Click-Unroot: http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-unroot-nexus-s-i9020ti9020ai9023/
@iGoogleNexus Hahaha I guess...I'm not sure if it works with Sprint though. If it did, then that would be pretty sweet, even though I have T-mo haha
Wow lol um you'll probably have to root again and flash the right radio you had before. Damn I don't know lol I've never seen anything like this.
Remember to have the right clockworkmod version!! Very important, sometimes these guides give you the wrong recovery. If you look through my post, it happened to me 2 weeks ago, I tried to unroot and I totally messed up

Searched the forums (albeit not extensively,) on how to check for firmware updates... couldn't find anything.
Is there not a # you can dial to push the check or something?

Wali, have you returned your phone to the stock rom? If you're running anything else, I don't think that you can get the update... Not 100% sure, but that's probably why Kies thinks that you're on at&t....
EDIT!! There's also a Kies update today, So apply that to your pc first!

Was the Rep that you spoke to aware that you've got a Rogers phone?
For about 3 days last fall, I had a Samsung Focus, & it had the option to check for updates on the phone... When ever you wanted...
But who knows... Not rogers, that's for sure.

lol they have to at least run it through a lot of tests, remember if anything goes wrong there will be a riot of people running to the store saying that the update bricked their phone
Just got off the phone with rogers.. The tech guy that I spoke to said that they know that Samsung has released it, BUT they don't have any information for TODAY... He said that when there is an update going out, they get an email that morning.. He's thinking maybe later this week? Kies was updated today... So, now might be a good time to get your titanium & CWM backups ready..
Hey, I'm just one guy reporting what he was told... For what it's worth, the guy that I spoke to... His name is Tim.

well then give everyone a nexus or a raincheck to s3 lol what else dude one way or the other consumer will win.. lol
Hum, so if I'm reading it right, I have to revert to the stock ROM/Radio (running TPCv3 and UXKJ7 Baseband) before I will see the update?
I know TPCv3 is a rogers stock based rom.... will that make a difference?
(Actually, it doesn't matter much, I wasn't going to apply it anyway. Will wait for someone to cook up a better-than-stock ROM anyway before I flash anything.)

from what ive read you have to revert to stock non rooted rom and wait for ics to grain upon us .
Hi all, First post on here hope everyone is nice. So I rooted my s3 played around with wickeds rom and liked it alot! Then I saw Synergy came up with the multi window rom so I flashed that! Everything worked great except wifi was not turning on. I saw someone say you need to unlock bootloader and reflash. So...
I used ez unlock to unlock bootloader
I pressed reboot into recovery
AND.... Bricked.. I think.
Can this be fixed? Most people who brick their phones by flashing to a wrong rom but not in my case. The phone wont turn on and wont go into download mode.
WHAT CAN I DO? can i call samsung and tell them that the screen stopped working or something? Its a 2 week old phone!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
U can search for hardbrick solution, i think there is a way to reflash bootloader. If not take it to samsung, maybe they won't see what u did.

I've returned a phone that was bricked back to a retailer no problem. Going through a carrier might be different.

Look for JTAG repair if you are absolutely sure you cannot get into download mode.

I've also flashed that ROM. You must flash Ktoonsez kernel in order to fix the WiFi problem.

I'm going to see what I can come up with..of course if it is worth trying I'll let everyone know...I would have to relock my bootloader to give it a go or buy another m8. As all 5 of mine or already s-off.
Is there anyway to s off this device?
Yes, you try firewater if that does not work for you then you going to need spend $25 for sunshine which is supported now.

I understand that...As long as you don't update nothing till you can get the money. You will be ok.
Thanks for this. I'm getting an RMA exchanged phone, and $25 is a lot given my current financial situation (I'm lucky to be able to pay my cell bill). Something like this would be awesome.
So in order to make this work... We need verizon (non Korean) files. We should try to complie similar ones.
would this work on ours

I'm already talking to the devs about this and I was trying it earlier but the phone got stuck and wouldn't boot so until I either get or build an ENG kernel for the Verizon variant then this won't work as it needs certain things changed in the kernel first!
So it's at least possible right?

Everything is possible! It just takes someone willing to do it!
If I were willing to try this what would I have to edit to make it work on verizon.. I would have to downgrade but I see that's possible thanks to mr.mike2182 thanks for that. I see its possible on Verizon but nobody has explained how yet

It's not possible to get tethered root on Verizon yet but I'm working on that still.. However, if you need instructions on how to downgrade I posted instructions for that here.
