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?

Hey guys,
I need to update to manually update my nexus S to 4.0.3 with the available update (128MB) file. My main concern is that i dont know which version i have (means whether it's I9020T or I9020A etc.) I bought the unlocked GSM version from Best Buy US on the very day of release during my visit last year and the box had T-mobile SIM in it as well. Currently I'm not in US and my Nexus is running stock 2.3.6 unrooted with baseband: I9020XXKF1 and build no: GRK39F. Now please can someone tell me, can i go on with the update through the process mentioned here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich
And will it give me that "recovery backlight" or "no service" or any like bug, experienced by many of the users????
The version should be on the back of the battery. Or on the box it came in (on a tag with bar codes if I remember correct).
Then just find the proper OTA for you here on xda and follow the procedure you posted.
Oh and I don't know about others but I never had a major problem. Just a couple of times the android OS kept the phone awake for a long time.

No, i couldnt find it on battery nor box...
Well if it had a T-Mobile sim then chances are it is a I9020T.
KF1 radio is I9020T and I9023

Yeah there was a Tmobile sim in the box and I9023 is for the SLCD models, right? And i'm sure that i have an SAMOLED version. So should i go on with the update??? I am tired of waiting for the updates but i'm reluctant because of those recovery and no radio after the update bugs.

The code is not on the battery. It is on the phone, UNDER the battery. I.e. remove the battery, and check the samsung sticker.

Thanks mat, got it. It's GT-I9020T, so i think it's safe to update it manually... Will try it tonight.
BTW there arent any issue or problems after manually updating it, right???
omg!!! but how can you buy a phone, and expensive too, and don't even know wich one you bought!!!! shame on you!!!

I updated Manually after I revived the OTA update but wouldn't install (my guess is due to Google throwing on the brakes) and have had no issue. If you Download the OTA zip from XDA you will have to re-root as the offical update will lock the phone again.

Interesting I came here on the same mission, to find out if it was safe to update mine.
I removed the battery and it borrowed my Dads glasses to read the label, it definitely says modelno: I9020A
I didn't actually buy mine, it was acquired by purchasing at work for a developer project, but its unlocked, didn't come with a SIM and I've used it with my t-mobile SIM back at home in the US, but I'm currently using it with great results, including USB tethering with a pre-pay O2[UK] SIM.
So which version/model does this make my phone?
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

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

Hi Jishnu,

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,

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.

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.
