I have a GSM Nexus S and was wondering if there was a way of getting it to work with AT&T 3Gs
would it be possible?
Thanks
If you have the i9020a, yes you can... If you any other model you will get edge only

Hi!
I am sorry if this a stupid question but where can I find which model I have? I looked at the settings about and didnt see it. There is one called baseband version i9020XXKI1
Your model number should be behind your battery.

how do i check whether my device is a i9020a or i9020t??
baseband- m200krkc1
its the korean variant
please help
The box for the device should have it listed next to all the SN and barcode info, it will be the bold heading at the top of this section.
You can also check the sticker under the battery, it's small text but it's there.
I think yours is m200. Like you said its the Korean variant. The question is: is it possible to flash 9020/3 stuff on it?

The update rolling out now is for i9023 users. I'm not even aware of anyone using i9020T that actually got the OTA notification.

It won't. Am using I9020T here in india.
Hi Jishnu,
Thanks, Do you mean it won't work or do you mean it won't get locked.

What do you mean get locked? There is no "T-Mobile" release. The release rolling out now is to the international i9023 users. T-mobile users will likely get the exact same build but there haven't build any OTA notifications for those users (but you can manually install it on a T-mobile version).
Hi Bozzykid,
I was referring to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395828
Since its mentioned TMO ie T mobile version, i am unsure whether to install this because my phone belongs to india and its SIM FREE what i am afraid that whether this will Network lock my phone to T-mobile

There is no such thing as a T-mobile version. The i9020 and i9020T run the same software. Whether you are on T-mobile or not makes no difference. Most international users have the i9020. i9023 is the same hardware except the screen.
I've looked under the battery and it just says 'GT-i9020'
It doesn't have T or A or i19023.
So, what's mine?

Go into settings, about phone. Then where it says baseband version, it will have I9020T or I9020A plus a few other letters and numbers.

Thanks for the reply but mine is: I9020XXJK8
If it doesn't say whether it's an i9020A or i9020T, it's an i9020T.
Yours is similar to my I9020T which is show my baseband as I9020XXKI1

The baseband version you mentioned sounds like the M200KRKC1 of the korean m200 since there is no such radio like that on i9020t/9023/i9020a.
If that kc1 part is correct you got the korean m200.
Shutdown device, pull out battery, you will see model in battery slot

As long as you dont mess with the radio/bootloader you are good.. the only difference between the 3g (i902x/m200) variants is the radio baseband config.

Bootloader is generally fine but leave radio as it is that is latest for that variant.
Fyi if you want jelly bean.. there are reports that the cwm zip that i put together (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497) works on the m200.

Ok that answers your question there... its a i9023. As per the box they just reused boxes without checking what the model actually was. The confusing part before was that the baseband version doesn't match the european/north american models.

I just got a SGS3 today, but I am not sure which provider it is from (Verison, AT&T...). I picked it up from a friend, and not from a store. I believe it was from Bell, but I am not too sure.
Is there a way I can find out the provider? So far, I see that you need to know your provider to make sure you don't brick your machine :/
Regards,
404
Edit: I haven't looked into it yet (I will after I finish editing) but do I need to know the provider to unlock the phone, or is that one quick method?
Edit2: I remembered it came with a Rogers Sim card
Sounds like a stolen phone......

The baseband is i9300 xxale8.
I just tried rooting it using SGS3 Toolkit, not sure where I went wrong, but It just displays "Samsung" before going black.
Edit: When did they make you also press the Home Button to go into download mode. That caused me some headache
Reflash stock ROM maybe?

Trying that now. In download mode, it shows that the current binary is custom and system status is official. I'm searching how to turn the binary back to official. Do you know?
Nope. Sorry! It usually is branded in build.prop

I gotta ask...Did you flip it over and look at the backplate? Mine says verizon.
That is not a verizon baseband. Verizon begins with I535...not sure what provider uses that number because it appears to be the international variants baseband. Not sure though, but definitely not verizon

Didn't expect it to be from Verison, but I didn't expect it to be from the others as well, and I had to post this somewhere
I9300 sounds like an international phone so you most likely have the gsm international version... but im not gonna lie... the op makes it sound like its a stolen phone :silly:

A friend of mines relative works for a phone company, so I got it through them. I hope that doesn't make it sound sketchy :/
My old SGS2 was actually stolen from me I wish the IMEI number was printed on the box so that I could trace it
You have the international version. It is not tied to a carrier the same way the US versions are and has a separate forum.
