I was currently using MIUI GB build from brainmaster, and I wanted to switch to the ICS after finally finding out they halted the OTA update. Well I'm using T-Mobile, and when i flashed the stock rom back, i was not able to us the 9023t stock rom as it kept giving errors. So i had to tried the 9020a (which i believe is for ATT) and that worked. My phone is able to make calls and receive texts, but it only shows that its on edge (e) and no more 3g on the status bar.
My question is, is there a way to switch the baseband back to a 9023t build? or did i always have an ATT branded phone?
edit:
This is what my phone status shows:
Carrier: Tmobile
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef
[email protected] #1
Build: GRK39F
Another update:
Just verified after pulling my battery the model states:
GT-I9020T
It seems that you have flashed an I9020A baseband on an I9020T. There have been reports that people who have done this have never been able to get 3G again.
However, you can try to follow this link and flash the KI1 baseband and see what happens.
Just out of interest... do you know anyone with an AT&T sim that you can borrow to see if you can pick up AT&T's 3G now? (you would have to make sure that then APN for att is entered and selected) It's extremely doubtful but would be interesting to know nevertheless...

I will try and flash that baseband, and will update asap. As of right now, I dont have an ATT sim card, but if i do come across one i will update as well.
Also, do you know why it happened to let me install the 9020a rom, and not the 9020t? I had to root my phone from scratch all over again to erase the MIUI rom and to try to bring it back to stock. Every time i tried to install the 9020t/9023 it kept giving me the error message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
But it worked like a charm when i attempted to do it with the 9020a.
I was able to flash the KI1 baseband with no problems at all. Now with this will I be able to flash ICS?

Either flash the official OTA or an ICS ROM that doesn't contain a radio.

Hi all,
I just got a new NS 9023.
When I got it, the system was 2.3.6(I dont remember if that is official or not)
After some simple tests, I flash the rom to MIUI. And MIUI works fine.
One day later, I want my phone go back to official rom. So I download a 2.3.3 official rom from google.(The link was found on this forum)
Then the problem came - The signal is worse then before. I can't get EDGE, but before I flash the "official rom", EDGE works well. i tried lots of baseband packages but none of them works.
Can someone tell me what should I do now?
Here are some information:
product name herring
hw version: rev 52
bootloader: i9020xxka3
baseband: i9020xxdk1
carrier info: vof
A friend of mine bought a 9023 the same time as mine.
I checked his bootloader, only one different is the carrier info, it is EUR on his phone.
check the IMEI number and see whether it's true or not ?
system -> about -> status

Baseband seen from system is I9023XXKD1, which I consider is correct.
and signal strength usually between -83 ~ -93dBm both in office and outside.
Also, I found a radio dump bin on sdcard. Is there any way I can use that file?

At the top you say you have an i9023 but your bootloader and radio are i9020. So which is it? Is your problem because you flashed your phone with a stock rom for a different model?

Don't post your IMEI in public. I suggest you remove it. X1111 just wanted to check if your IMEI is changed, but that as nothing to do with your problem. Because if that was a problem, you couldn't get any signal at all.
As I can see, you are surely cofused which device do u have, and therefore flash wrong ROM/Radio. Did you try *#*#4636#*#*? If not try dial it, choose "Phone information", pres menu button, choose "Select radio band" and choose EUR band...
If that doesn't help you, wipe /data /cache and /system in recovery and flash correct stock rooted ROM. Hope that will help...
yes. i have a 9023 device and all 9023 around me have 9020XXKD1 information on boot screen.

Thanks tenhi.
I tried 4636 code and change my baseband to EUR. seems better now. but still not so good. i will keep testing.

Good Morning,
After flashing the Gingerbread Baseband I no longer am able to register on the network for my provider.
The device is from Rogers but unlocked and being used on the Bell network.
After flashing I realized there may be a different baseband for me to use in Canada (just North of Toronto).
I require some help in locating a Gingerbread baseband that would work or provide me with instructions on how to return to the original baseband.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you kindly,
- Audi2Audi
Did you set the APN manually? You have to do that.
Hello!
APN in Menu|Settings|Wireless & Networks|Mobile Networks|Access Point Names ?
I have set that to: pda.bell.ca
Is there other steps required though?
Thank you for the response!
apn settings is for internet. phone must tower of sim. may be flashing baseband again will soveit because i am tower getting for my country
If you're wanting to go back to stock froyo first you need to visit here to get your original rom... these will also flash the baseband back too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
then you will need to follow this turtorial in order to flash the stock rom back on (go down to second post that one is in English )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
Although it is a possibility that the BB hasn't flashed correctly, might be worth trying it again... might also be worth trying a froyo rom to see if you get a signal then, because if you do you still have the froyo baseband on...

Thanks adixtra i always forget about the tutorial of yours
You can flash a .Bin File for Your P920 or P920H.
Ok, now this is getting bizarre hah.
I reflashed the baseband again and everything went normal as it did before.
This time I searched for networks and selected my provider. After about 5 minutes of the device trying to register on the network an error was received that said it was unable to register on this network.
However, when I got to my home screen I was registered on the network. I tested a voice call and it worked. I have tested data as well.
BUT! This is where it gets even more bizarre...The device cycles from 4 signal bars to 2 signal bars to none to 3G (from H) followed by not being registered on the network. Then a few minutes later (sometimes only after a reboot) it returns to 4 bars and begins the cycle again.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thank you again for your help!

Good Evening,
Would you be able to upload the KDZ file from your update?
I am having problems with the LG Phone Recovery indicating that I have the most up to date software and halting the recovery process.
Thank you!
- Audi2Audi
Hello,
I flashed an earlier KDZ which allowed me to use the LG Update tool to restore my stock rom.
Thank you everyone for your help and advice.
- Audi2Audi.
it will tell you that but if you use recovery mode and it will download the file then you will have to unplug the phone from usb hold vol+ power then plug it back into the usb and it should download. like i said i used similiar method to flashing baseband
On my windows 7 not detect omap 4 and i can't flash baseband,what can i do?
I've been doing a search to see if its worth updating my stock Galaxy S 4G to Gingerbread via the official update with Samsung Kies.
Does anyone know of a specific list of all the pros and cons to do so?
I've been pretty happy with my phone these last few months, but if the update can truly improve the performance, I'd probably give it ago.
I'm hoping to develop a little game plan for doing so, perhaps updating to Gingerbread, and then rooting the phone to erase a few programs like TelNav.
Any know the best way to root the phone once its been updated?
I'm also curious if anyone knows if the Gingerbread update will allow me to install Skype, because as of now my phone can't even install it (it just reboots with a failed install every time).
Thanks in advance for any advice!

my phone is using a chip from another company (movistar-peru). would there be a problem if i update to gingerbread trough kies? i guess they might have changed the configuration of the phone. any advice?
A chip? Do you mean a SIM card? If so, and you have a Galaxy S 4G - SGH-T959V you can update.
Wont his phone be relocked once he upgrades?
I'm not sure if it will re-lock. If so, he can use FB's unlocker script to re-unlock it.
@migueltr14 as lumin stated if you have that model of phone then yes you can update. Be aware tho it is possible to have to unlock the phone. If you dont have the unlock code I suggest getting it first.
Or you can root the device after and use the method in the link below.

You can update u just may need to unlock the phone(not root) since its a tmobile phone on a different network
Sent From My Rockin' Galaxy S 4G
Oh thanks for the infor!, but when you say that i might have to unlock the phone, you're talking about paying for a web site to give the code or there's another way of getting it?
You can go that route. Or if you root the phone the link in my previous post will tell you how to get the code yourself.
Thanks a lot!, i updated my phone, SIM card works fine (didn't need the unlock code)
Pre-requisites:
a) Rooted
b) CWM Installed
c) Sim Unlock Code
I could not find a straight forward way to get the ATT SGH-I727 Unlocked and working on T-mobile so I thought I'd make this short list of instructions for those going through the same trouble.
The first thing I had to do was unlock the phone. I contacted a local company that charged $35. Free options failed. Expect to pay. There were mentions of calling ATT for the unlock code which I did, however, the CSR looked up the IMEI and determined that the unlock code was not YET available. From what I gathered, because the original phone owner was still under the two year agreement, this unlock was on hold until that time period was up. Those that bought their phone outright without a contract are provided their code with a call to customer service.
With the phone unlocked, I still couldn't get the phone to connect to a T-mobile signal. With a tmob sim, either a no-signal icon appeared or the phone simply showed full ATT bars but wouldn't allow T-mobile use in options. Also, *#simunlock# would generate a com.android error.
Finally, the following formula allowed for an unlocked phone picking up T-mobile signal:
1. Install the STOCK ICS UCLF6 4.0.4 - UNTOUCHED - rom following the instructions on that page impeccably.
2. Install Busybox (may not be necessary)
3. Install UCLF6 modified boot Kernel
4. Install T-mobile compatible radio - Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD worked for me
Boot it and see if you have a signal. You may need to go to options and manually choose T-mobile.
After that, I was able to install a different ROM. I chose SKY-ICS 4.2F6-2.6.1
With any new rom, you will still need to flash a tmob supported radio.
My s.o. will be using this phone, so I won't be messing with other roms, unfortunately. Let me know if you have a fast and stable configuration.
I hope this helps.
Actually as the radio is deeper than the firmware we flash normally you should only need to flash a tmo radio once unless a rom has radio built in most all roms do not

Does it make a difference whether I install the stock ics and kernel you provided? All I did is update the phone to ics via kies, install a recovery, flash superuser, then installed the blaze 4g radio. Would it make a difference between doing what you said and what I did?

Are you trying to get Call/Text connection or 4G HSPA+ Connect?
Works on WIND too!
I spend a while trying to get this phone working on Wind (Canada's 1700 AWS carrier, similar to Mobilicity / TMo). I've finally succeeded by doing the following.
1: Install latest ICS STOCK
2: Use CWS to flash AT&T UCLF6
I have not been able to get nearfield working with this modem, but it's working great other than that (albeit somewhat slow UL/DL speeds, but that's likely a more wind's crappy network than the phone). Let me know if anyone has any ideas regarding the Nearfield issue.
Just wanted to share. I have been made so freaking happy by the fact that this worked
I bought my SR for full price (549.99) months ago and stupid att also saying my unlock code is not available yet !!
I bought this Nexus S, i9020. It's just a couple of days old. Had ICS 4.0.4 and when connected to WiFi, phone started downloading latest system update. Installed the update quickly. The battery however, started draining too quickly after the update.
My problem or nightmare started when I tried to revert or downgrade this cellphone to Gingerbread 2.3.6, because I read that on GB, this phone's battery lasted for more than a day.
Anyhow, when I downloaded this One_Step_Click guide for downgrading to GB 2.3.6, the phone actually downgraded, but to my utter surprise, it has downgraded to Sprint Nexus S 4G, the phone now shows following:
Model number: Nexus S 4G (which it's not, its Nexus S i9020)
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80
Build number: GRJ22
The phone has lost the GSM signal, although SIM is still in the SIM slot. I can still connect to WiFi and connect to my Google account.
FYI, i am using Ufone GSM network here in Karachi, Pakistan.
Need urgent help in restoring my Nexus S to its original state to be able to use on GSM network.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Seems like you are actually messed up. So you want Gingerbread 2.3.6 on your NS, right?
