This is by far the strangest problem I'm facing with my Nexus S
I've two SIM cards from two different networks. one is GSM 900 and anothe is GSM 1800
Both the SIMs are perfectly ok and functioning very well in my Nokia X2.
But one of the SIMs (GSM 900) is not getting any network in my Nexus S.
Interestingly I've been using this very SIM (GSM 900) in my nexus for last one month.
Just to give a background, I'm facing this problem when I flashed the latest 2.3.7 stock ROM.
I tried flashing other ROMs aswell...Currenyly I'm on MIUI...but no Luck ! And Yes, the Other SIM is working absolutely fine with my Nexus and fine with both the ROMS !
Please Help !
If I'm not mistaken I believe 2.3.7 is an update for nexus s 4g models only and not GSM. That is a very good chance as to why your network doesn't work.

But it was Getting network. And My other SIM is getting network in that OS.
BTW, I've flashed a different ROM (MIUI)....No luck with the new ROM...
frequency base band problems perhaps ?
Yes, its Reading 1800 SIMs but not 900 SIMS.
all what you said so far indicates that the problem was caused by the new binary.
it seems the hardware is working fine.
what is the software version of your phone?
download an official version of Nexus S and you'll be fine.
tell me what you see in the "about phone"
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9020XXKD1
Currently I'm in MIUI. Searching for the official version of 2.3.4

2.3.7 is for the cdma nexus s 4g not a GSM model. Try reflashing the correct radios for your phone.

I've tried Flashing Radios. But Yet its the same scenario !
Getting network with a GSM 1800 sim. Not with GSM 900 SIM (Unfortunately this is my official number)
Can anyone suggest the exact stock ROM for my sns. I tried to search here in XDA, but not finding the exact one.
the sticker in back says my SNS model is GT-I9020
Some files may stuck in /system partition when you flash something, and good idea is to format /system from CWM recovery (you can find it under mounts and storage section) and flash rooted flash rom from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
It's always a bad thing to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Formating /system before you flash stock rom. Hope that could fix your problem too, but I'm not sure . Just a suggestion ...

I've flashed this from Google
http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip
Now my about phone looks like this :
Androd Version : 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Build No. GRk39C
Yet, its not getting network.
Should I take it that I've lost my Nexus.
Thanks for you reply Tenhi.
I tried formating Everything ! and also Flashed the Stcok ROM (NSGSM-GRJ22-deodexed-KD1-rooted)
But no Luck.
Interestingly, today I found that the set is getting network in Some places, mostly where the network strength is very strong. And functioning very well with GSM 1900 carriers. But facing the problem with GSM 900 carriers only.
Isn't there anyway to get back to Factory Settings or something like this...?
Don't know what else to say. Apparently the NS4G 2.3.7 ROM changed something permanently, and you can't reverse it with flashing another ROM/Radio/Kernel. Unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions . Hope you will find a way to fix it ...
Yet to get a way to fix it.
Strange problem I'm in.
Now looking for a nandroid backup. (Downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059914)

I had one Stock ROM backup (2.3.3). I flashed it today. Which updated the Radio to KB3 also.
But the problem persisted. Then I took the offcial update to 2.3.4 using the push update.
Yet the problem is not fixed. Not getting any clue on what happened !
I've tried two different operators who run GSM 900 and its not getting network with them.
But There is no problem with GSM 1800 operators. Its running smoothly with GSM 1800 SIM.
Alhamdulillah, the problem has been solved.
A OTA update to 2.3.6 has solved the problem for me.
First I flashed 2.3.3, just after flashing it prompted for a update to 2.3.4 and a day after it prompted for a update to 2.3.6.
Which eventually solved the problem
Thanks for your help guys.
Hi, I'm new to android and I recently signed up with Mobilicity for a Nexus S 4G.
I've figured out how to root my phone but for some reasons every custom rom I tried is not picking up any signals at all. (except WIFI)
So I am starting to think that it might be the type of signal (UMTS) that Mobilicity offers that doesnt work with custom roms?
Correct me if I'm wrong, and please help me with solutions, Thanks!

Mobilicity is a GSM carrier. Do you actually have a Nexus S 4G (a CDMA device) or have you been flashing Nexus S 4G Roms onto your device (in which case you are flashing a rom/radio for a CDMA device onto a GSM device)?

hmm, on the box it saids Nexus S but when I try flashing Miui for Nexus S, it wouldn't work unless I'm using the 4G version so i assumed that my phone is 4G.
And the phone status says that my "Mobile network type" is UMTS.

If you got it from Mobilicity it's the GSM version (AWS frequency, i9020 or i9020T by model number).
If you've flashed a radio for the NS4G (a CDMA device) or the i9020a this is going to break things.
What radio are you currently running? If you can't get service flash back to a stock i9020t ROM and see what you get. You can grab a full stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
that's exaclty what's happening to me, i got a nexus said to be a I9020A (under de battery), and on the manual says it's the nexus s 4g. the problem is (the same as darkkame) that the type of signal, in the settings says it's UMTS, so is neither CDMA nor GSM i think.
i live in chile, south america, and that's the problem i'm having with custom roms, particulary with the ice cream sandwich one, it only let me flash the nexus s 4g version of the rom but not the 3g one and i have everything working except the cell reception and 3g signal.
sorry for the poor redaction xD

thanks for the clarification, then my nexus isn't really the 4g version (despite what it says on the manual), but for some reason the ice cream sandwich rom acknowledge my device as a CDMA when it isn't so it won't le me flash the nexus 3g version of the rom (brings "installation cancelled" on the recovery), only the 4g optimized rom, but that's when i get no cellular reception nor 3g.
just have to wait for the official ics release then
Redownload the GSM version and verify the MD5. Installation Canceled usually means its a bad zip or the updater-script is jacked.

i found the problem, because i mistakenly thought my nexus was a 4g version ('cause that's what it says on the manual), i followed the rooting and clockmodwork installing procedure for the nexus s 4g variant, now i reverted the procedure, but this time for the 3g version of the phone and voilá i can now install the ice cream sandwich rom and have the cellular reception
maybe this solution applies for the author of this thread too
Can you provide a link to the rom you installed?
Hi every one!
I have an xoom 3g eu. After rooting etc i lost my 3g. Now im on lte ics wich is us. Is it in anyway possible that i get my 3g back? On a eu device with us rom?
Thx

Same Problem.
I think team eos release a non us 3g rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
I think you'll find the problem is your Euro 3G MZ601 uses GSM radio and hardware while the US 3G MZ602 uses CDMA radio and hardware. Thus the US ROMs don't interface correctly with you MZ601.
The new EOS ICS for Euro 3G works very well on my Hong Kong sourced MZ601 with Australian Telstra 3G.
For pain free installation I would suggest running "fastboot oem unlock" again before flashing to ensure a clean install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
I am new. I got a MZ601 Xoom 3G GSM unlocked in US.
Build number H.6.5.-17-1,
Kernel version 2.6.36.3
Base Band N_01.100.05P
Android H3.2
I wonder if some expert can help me to identify what device image (to be used in country other than US) in this device. It is because I could not find this software image in the list of the device software image in the Motorola Device Software Images.
Is it possible to flash with some roms of non US Xoom 3G GSM (MZ601)?
Hi!
You may use the Team EOS 1.0.0. It fits the MZ601 perfectly, including the 3g functionality.

Hi,i just get my droid razr maxx HD two days ago,and i can use my local operator,'m live at indonesia ,have you try to set the the network to GSM/UMTS ?
XT926 WILL NOT WORK ON A GSM NETWORK. It is built with a CDMA radio, that's hardware. You need an xt925, which is built with the GSM radio in order to use a GSM network. There is no software changes that you could make to change a CDMA phone into a GSM one. Sorry.

No. Its a global phone. It in fact has the GSM radios built into it. And others have had success with using it on GSM networks.
For example this thread shows how to make it work with us GSM carriers:

This question comes up A LOT. You could do a search in either the RAZR HD forums or the RAZR M forums to find the answer. The phone is a global phone, it has a SIM card and it works on GSM networks outside the US. There's a lot of misinformation floating around with people, like hte poster above, screaming about it being CDMA and not working globally... this is simply not true. I have been to Australia with this thing, it works fine.
The problem that others have found is that because India uses CDMA there's some logic burned into the phone that locks it to Verizon and their partner carrier whilst in India. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround that I have found. Some people have tried things with RadioComm, including the GSM unlock which allows the HD to be used on US GSM carriers (ATT/TMo). I haven't seen anything to indicate that this fix also fixes the phone so it can be used in Inida.
Sorry for the bad news...

Hi. I've successfully being using the razr maxx HD in India . Earlier me to face similar problem as you for not be able to use this phone. However with the OTA ver .16 update, the phone automatically started to work on the Indian sims and since then its no looking back.
Why don't you flash the latest current stock rom update which I think is v.18 .
I believe you should have no problems
