Is there a way I can get ICS on the Nexus S i9020a model? This model didn't get the ICS update ever because there was some problem with it. So I was wondering if there was a way I can get official ICS on it, for it to run smooth and how its supposed to without bugs.

What is the source of this statement ?
I think AT&T has a hand in this issue for a reason or another... However in the general section , ICS was ported successfully to I9020A (without the ICS stock radio) ...
can you describe how this was achieved for us nobs, or point us to the right place to read up on it.
Thanks

Hi guys, I'm on a Google Nexus S i9023 working on Softbank Japan. I've downloaded the official ICS rom and tried to update but in vain. Can anybody tell me what does the thread mean by T-mobile version? Anything different between them and the AT&T ones? 9020? Or 9023? I really can't wait to bite my first ICS! BTW, I'm on CM7 latest nightly builds. Help! Thanks.

I don't know what the difference is besides the radios. Maybe someone else can elaborate on that. Either way, the T-Mobile version is the i9020T and the AT&T version is the i9020A.

So, 9023 cannot get the update yet?
I think I got it! It is because of the CM7, I went back to official 2.3.6, and bang, it worked!
Im an owner of a Nexus S i9023 in Argentina, I bought the phone in Europe (Spain). Please hy3301 tell me if the upgrade to ICS works fine on your i9023, thank you!

It works great, but you have to flash it after you flash back to the stock rom 2.3.7. obviously the root is lost and there seems to be no solution to that at this moment.
Wooohoooooo
OMGOMGOMG
Works with my Dutch Nexus S ( I9023 )
I'm using a i9023 with no problems at all except I can't accept and deny root permission(the root it self works though)

i9023 error while searching for networks
Hi,
I updated to ICS 4.0.3 in i9023 Nexus S. Everything is fine but it is not able to find the mobile networks.
On 'Search for Networks' it is giving "Error while searching for networks".
Can someone help me solving this or reverting back to Gingerbread?
Thanks!!!
Me too. But whatever, we got ICS and root. What a good day!
does anyone have the Telstra (Australian) OTA update.zip file for ICS?
Can't you find your model in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 ?
Even if it's another carrier, all the way in the outback , I find it very hard to believe that your NS is branded.
So, you should give one of those a try.

The terms for the Nexus S are that it shouldn't be branded by the carrier. It's meant to be the "real" Android experience.
does anyone know which development rom I should use in australia? I have a Nexus Phone and LOVE it, to make my XOOM the same would be epic I just don't wanna ruin my XOOM.
Since it's telstra it's probably an i9020A (850mhz compatible). You can root the phone, flash the OTA or full ROM (there is only one official ICS for Nexus S out atm, this is for i9020T and i9023). After this you won't be getting any reception, you'll need to flash the old i9020A radio. All files are easily found with a search or looking through stickies.
Did u buy it straight from telstra?
If not it is a i9023

Got the nexus s today, want to upgrade to ICS
Which version/ROM shuld i use? (preferably the stock official Google ICS 4.0.3, where can i find this?)
Is there a guide anywhere or is it as simple as root, install cwm and update?
Secondly what model is my nexus s? the build number is GRH78 with baseband version as: I9020XXJK8, will this matter? do i need to flash another rom before ICS?
Thanks Craig
for model of your nexus look behind battery and here is a guide to root http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ and i recommend this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463437
Just wait the official ota is just now being sent out. Or if you don't want to wait there is some pretty stable roms out, whichever you prefer. But the official ota is just now going out in waves.
As stated above, first you need to figure out whether you're i9020a or i9020t which is located under the battery.
You do not need to flash another rom to get ICS and you don't have to root it if you don't want to.
GRH78 is 2.3.1 I think. That's weird because I thought everyone was on at least 2.3.3 by now. First you need this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11616407
I think you want the GRH78C.
Or you could just follow it here
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-nexus-s-android-233
I'm not 100% sure about which version of the nexus these are for though. I'm pretty sure they are for i9020. I am just unsure whether the same file works for both T and A versions. I seem to only be able to find one version of the file, so maybe it's the same.
Anyway, using that flashing method, you should now be on 2.3.3.
All of the official upgrades from Google are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
Just click on your corresponding model, whether it's i9020a or i9020t.
Then you can go from 2.3.3 to 4.0.3 or whatever you want. Use the same flashing method as you used on the Android Central site.
bedalus has done a great work on benchmarking ICS roms. You can find his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481856
I've used CyberGR v7 (he has updated to v8) and Oodie Miui ROM. Both have been great for me. You might want to try a few before you know which one you like the most.
To check the version of you phone, you can go to Settings | About Phone. You can find Android version, baseband (radio) and kernel.
Stock ICS can be found here:

I have tried a bunch of radio\modems that worked in GB and cant my phone to recognize one of them on the official ICS. I have also tried several of the ICS modems including blaze, telus, and several others, and can't them to work either. My sim isant found and under baseband version it says "unknown." Does anyone know of a tmobile modem I can get to work on my skyrocket with official ICS? Thanks for any help.
Even your question doesn't make sense ... What is your phone ? what rom are you using ? are you on t mobile SIM or what ? how did you update to ICS ?
Don't just throw 20 words and want an answer ....

If your going to be rude then don't reply to my thread. This isant hard to figure out from what I posted. I am on the skyrocket sgh-i727, hence why im posting in the skyrocket forum. It says in the title, I am on the stock ICS 4.0.4 rom. And I as far as I know there is only one offical 4.0.4 upgrade. And it would only make sense that I have a tmobile sim, hense why I am asking if anyone knows of a working tmobile modem for the official stock ICS rom upgrade. I have had a million phones, been part of a million different parts of XDA, and by far the people in the skyrocket section are the rudest. And before you say it, yes Ive searched, and searched, and searched again, but seeing as how it was just released yesterday, there is not alot of information out about it yet. After some thought, maybe it was possible you thought I was on rogers or something? Do people try to use tmobile modems on rogers versions?I dont know, but thats not important right now. But you could of been nicer about it. People with questions get treated like second class citizens around here. I updated by flashing using ODIN.
What's the latest official firmware update on this device? Is it on ICS? Also, are there any 100% working Jelly Bean/CM10 roms?

Since you're in the US, you're not going to get the official ICS quite yet. Though, it will be very soon. Motorola says in Q3, which is rapidly coming to a close. Users in India have already gotten the OTA to ICS. So, not much longer for us here in the States.
Also, we have a CM10 ROM, but it's being fine tuned. There's still a few broken functions (look for the thread in the development section), but with the talents and hard work from our development team here for the A2, it'll get there, and be killer...
Sent from my fingers to your peepers
It would have been quicker to have a quick read of the forums, but anyway. Like Apex said, ICS OTA is on it's way to the US, India has it, and we have the leak and the official OTA, you can't go back to GB (yet?) if you flash the final OTA version of ICS, so we are all being urged NOT to flash the OTA yet and to only use the leak until further notice, there are a few roms but the bootloader is LOCKED. I can't tell you much about the device besides specs and things I've read as mine is coming in about 12 hours . But do yourself a favor and have a peek around the forums, specifically the development forums.
