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

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...

Hi,
I have the Japanese S2 LTE, for which there appear to be no custom ROMs. So I'll have to (urgh, this is not why I bought an Android phone) use the carrier's ROM. BUT when I try to do an OTA update, it boots into CWM. I assume this is because the OTA update is setup to work with the stock recovery. So does anyone know where I can get the stock recovery from? I assume I'll need to use Odin?
edit: more info:
Model: SC-03D
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband: SC03SOMLB9
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-SC03DOMLB9-CL980106

Build number: gingerbread.OMLB9
Also, I'm pretty sure the recovery will be the same as the Skyrocket. Almost everything about the phones is the same, save for the buttons and LTE chip.
TIA
Not sure of your model number, but a quick Google search came up with this...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, SC-03D. It's the Japanese LTE model on Docomo. The LTE radio is different, and it only has one hard button with two touch buttons (like the original Galaxy S).
That thread is titled just Galaxy S 2 - will that work on an LTE?

For any future reference - I found a complete stock Docomo ROM on SamMobile and flashed it in Odin. My phone is now being treated (by Kies/OTA update) as a fully up to date, unmodified phone. Not that that really helps, Docomo still haven't released ICS. In October 2012. Still on Gingerbread. Yep.
Hi all,
I have installed the CM12-20141225-UNOFFICIAL-d850 ROM and it runs ok. But, the only two reasons I moved from the stock to a custom ROM were since I'm not on AT&T coverage, the stock would not find updates (even connect to the update servers) and that it would not register to a 4G LTE network here in Brazil.
The first time I installed the ROM I'm using now, I could get no APN here and managed to correct that with a multi-apn.zip file provided on a thread somewhere here (sorry! I can't seem to find it again!).
I'm considering going back to the stock ROM as I did not enjoyed the CM12 ROM all that much.
I'm sure there are other ROMs I could try, but I'd like to know if this multi-apn.zip patch would work with the stock rom as well.
Thanks in advance,
gtludwig

I have encountered APN issues on more than one cm/aosp based rom.
I would suggest trying Illusion rom (5.0.2), as I have not had the issue on this one and I personally find it more feature rich than CM12.
I'd like some advice please on what to do next. I rooted then flashed my Samsung S4 with a new ROM named Imperium v16.1. Everything is fine except the classic issue of having little to no data connectivity. Wireless is fine and when people try to ring me it's fine. I try to ring out though I have to go into and exit airplane mode.
This is the first time I've flashing an android handset so I definitely put myself in the n00b category.
I'm at the stage that I just don't care what ROM I have I just need data connectivity to work again. Yes I was probably stupid it try it but you know what it's like. We all want to experiment!
I guess I have two questions. If I install another ROM will I just have the same problem? Also, from my research, I get the impression that the problem is that my handset's modem drivers/baseband(?) don't match the ROM. Is that accurate/likely?
Any advice or simple background into what's going on would be grand!!
Thanks community!

Your stock firmware was the outdated Jellybean 4.2.2. Flash latest stock firmware from HERE and you'll be able to use newer custom roms. And free user can cload with 300kb/s, don't be scared by the 15kb/s.
Thank you. I've got the download.. I'll give it a go this evening after work.
(wow the copy of Odin I picked up is full of bloatware.. Wonder if the source I got it from was a bit dodge)
That has worked beautifully! Thank you very much.
Gosh, I had forgotten how bloaty and boring the stock ROM is.
Basically, I need a rom/kernel I can flash that is a stock rom. It would be very helpful if it is compatible with the 4 capacitive buttons model.
It is a SCH-R760 and I hope you guys can help me!
( I currently have siyah installed as a mid-way point, it isnt compatible with the model of the phone but it boots into the os so i can actually use it, still looking for help tho )
Hello,
I have sent you a personal message with a link to your stock firmware, it is the 2.3.6 though, that is all I'm finding for your model.
If i remember correctly, the S2 Epic 4G Touch(SPH-D710) firmware will work on your device, it has the 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom. I have the SPH-D710, when I first got it it was used, it had a stock SCH-R760X firmware on it, I restored it to the SPH-D710. The D710 has 4.1.2. stock if you want to try it.
You can find the D710(SPRINT) firmware at "rwilco12's Android Repository" every stock file that exists for the D710 is there, stock and custom recoveries, stock modems, stock firmwares, stock pre-rooted firmwares, everything.
Look for my PM in your XDA inbox
