Hey people. I just bought a Nexus S and to my disappointment I bought the GT-19020a (att) and I am on the T-mobile network so no 3G+ Does anyone know of a good ROM to use for selling my device? I would like for it be a factory ROM but still unlocked. Again it would need to be for the 19020a (att). Any help would be appreciated.
If you want a stock rooted rom and you have rom manager on you phone looks under drewgaren roms in the download section there is a stock one there.

Just grab the full stock rom and flash via CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
This will in no way change the status of the boot loader. If you want it to be rooted you'll just have to reflash the su binary via recovery.

So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
Hi,
I was wondering if you had to be rooted to install a custom rom on my phone. Thanks
Rooted no. S-off or unlocked by HTCdev yes.
Once your either one of the above, you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can install roms and root.
my phone was originally on vodafone but today i switched to 3 i was wondering if i flash the 3 ruu to my phone will it come with all the correct settings and 3 boot logo etc? Thanks

Hey Guys need you HELP.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 which was running on android 4.3 (official rom). I rooted the device and also flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which was successfull.
I tried few roms and it did not work and i got an error which siad I have a d2spr device and the rom i was trying to install was meant for d2tmo.
now how is that possible? d2spr is for Sprint and d2tmo is for T-Mobile... and my device is T999 (T Mobile) (I REALIZED THIS AFTER MESSING UP MY DEVICE)
Later I flashed it with a custom rom via recovery menu and after that i tried loading GAPPS also from recovery mode. The custom rom was ok but gapps failed to install.
After falshing the custom rom i checked about device and it says the model number was dat of a sprint mobile (i747)
I tried other custom roms and gapps.zip but now my phone will not boot...when i turn it on it shows the SGS3 CWM screen and reboots into recovery.
No luck trying to flash it with a stock rom using odin either.
NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, only flash roms that are specific for your exact device. With your model number changing like it is it appears you've flashed some roms for other devices. You may not be able to recover the device. but see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Hi,
I have a Sprint LG-Gflex2 (LS996) which is rooted. But this is my first time with a non-international variant of a phone.
I have fare share of experience with rooting and custom roms on devices : nexus one, nexus 7,Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3,HTC One X, Note 2(n7100). All were international variants.
This time around i have a non-international variant of a phone. It is unlocked and rooted running international GSM sim.
Some of these questions may sound like noob questions . But i don't want an expensive paperweight
Not much help is there for LS996 or even international Gflex 2.
If you have any experience with non-international variant, please provide input:good:
My concern is :
Does it cause any problem when installing a custom recovery on these devices? or is it same as on an international variant?
Is there any additional step required with such devices to be able to run a custom recovery and rom?
If in case i have to move back to stock recovery, will it lock the device again for international GSM?
If everything works and i am able to install a custom rom, does that mean the GSM sim will continue to work on that rom without any issues?
The ROM manager app does not list this device but still i can install 2.x or 3.x version of CWM. But does doing that from ROM manager is safe? What to do if it goes into bootloop?

There is no way to get unlock bootloader on G Flex 2, so you can't install any custom recovery or custom ROM :crying:
if your device goes into bootloop, you can try to flash kdz or tot file of stock ROM...
