[Q] Flashing 2.3.5 on galaxy s2

Hey guys! I need some help from the community.
I want to flash 2.3.5 firmware on my s2, but I have a few questions... I live in Austria and I am on Tmobile. I flashed a 2.3.4 on it, so I partially de-branded the phone. However, I would like to flash 2.3.5 but it is not yet released for austria. I see there is a Polish version, but can I flash that to mine? If I do, will I lose network settings? Can someone give me a short guide on how to do this? I am confused on what does the CSC file do? Can I just flash the PDA, and the PHONE, without flashing CSC?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mick

Get yourself the frankenstein version from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Choose one that will be "non-wipe" and follow normal odin flash instructions, flashing pda only.

thank you man I think I'm just gonna wait for android icecream sandwich to come out... this is not worth upgrading...

How to Downgrade Nexus s from ICS to 2.3.6 Gingerbread?

Hey I am desperately looking to find how to downgrade my nexus s from the terrible ICS version back to Gingerbread.. I have already tried to flash into 2.3.6 and 2.3.4 using rom manager but got an "installation aborted" response.. I have read here that I can also do it using Odin but couldn't find enough info to understand how to do it. Plus, I am a MAC user but in case there is no solution for it using mac Ill love to get some directions for Windows users.. Any kind of help would be appreciated..
Thanks

I already tried it but just to be sure l downloaded to right one.. Lets say I want to get any version of gingerbread(2.3 to 2.3.6) so which version I need to download?
this is my phone info
model number: nexus s
android version : 4.0.3
basband version: I9020XXKI1
Karnal version: 3.0.8-gb55e9ac

build numberIML74K
Thank you very much!

just like what sean1984 told you, choose your correct full rom phone version from that link
in your case is "basband version: I9020"

worse case scenario search for Odin topic
and you can use Odin to go back to stock

thank you guys for the help.. I tried to use worldclockmode with many rom versions and still unsuccessful... I think Odin is my answer.. Can someone give me direction on how to use it and whiere to get it.. I apologize I REALLY need help.. Thank you very much!!

odin doesnt work nexus s!
if you are stock then you might have to root

Back to stock

Hi Guys,
My girlfriend have a Nexus S and I just flashed an ICS ROM and almost everything is fine, but shes complaining about radio performance. Everything was fine with gingerbread but now she gats poor signal from 3G network.
I dint have too much experience with the Nexus because I used a Galaxy S and now I have a Galaxy S II. With this models I can aways get completely back to stock using Odin.
I was just wondering with this is possible with the Nexus S, so I can put that smartphone back to stock and tell her to wait for que OTA update.
Sorry if this is a dumb question here but, you know, this kind of things changes a lot between different models of Android smartphones.

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and make sure you download for correct phone model and flash in cwm

Or here to flash the radio you or she, had before

Change the Radio
what phone does she have? I9020T(t-mobile) or I9020a(AT&T) or I9023(international)?
usually ICS roms are coupled with the KI radio. Check if you have it in setting/about phone/baseband version
weak signals are usually caused by baseband/kernel. did you try flashing the stock ICS OTA?
My advice is just swap between KB3-KD1-KF1-and KI1
you might have stronger signal with one of them depending on your region.
Hope I helped

Hi guys!
Thanks a lot for the tips. I'll try to fix the signal thing first and if I can't I'll put the phone back to stock and wait for the OTA update.
Her Nexus S is a I9020a we bought in a travel to Canada and it worked ok in Brazil before flashing the ICS ROM.

The rom you have flashed contains the KI radio(works only on i9020t and i9023) and the rom itself also maybe incompatible for i9020a.
My advice is :
1-to download this ROM(its great)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397358
2- download the new UCKF1 radio for i9020a:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
follow the steps for installing the rom found in the same thread(including wipes and Gapps)
after flashing, dont restart you phone, flash the UCKF1 radio, wipe dalvik and then reboot.
you should be ok
Ps. even if you flash back to stock it will not work, because the .Zip stock roms on XDA are all OTA and do not contain radios as I recall, just a Rom. If you happen to revert back to gingerbread stock, make sure you flash the radio too

Hi guys,
I liked the idea of flashing a stock rom for the i9020a again, but this stock ROMs are coming in a .tar package that I just cant flash using CWM.
I really sorry for this dumb questions, but I'm used to deal with stock ou custom ROMs with the Galaxy S and now with the Galaxy S II. With this models I just flash a stock ROM with Odin when I want to go back to stock. I don't know how to do this with the Nexus S and I couldnt find that newbie guide using the search. Sorry.

its for NS 4g, but should involve the same steps. Just use the NS files instead.
You need to have:
1-the Firmware TAR file
2-Bootloader file
3-Modem File
Best of luck
