Does anyone know of a ROM that is basically the stock ICS 4.0.3 OTA update for Nexus S i9020T, but modified to be compatible with the Nexus S i9020A (the AT&T compatible one), gets 3G data speeds on AT&T, and is flashable through clockworkmod?

But that has several modifications to stock, such as root, and custom launchers, and flashing a radio is still required. Is there any Rom that is simply stock ICS adapted for the i9020a?
i just updated my nexus s 19020a with att to 4.0.4, the flashed the zip with the stock boatloader its working great so far, but i think you have to be in 2.3.6 to flash 4.0.4

i got some screen shots
Upgraded to 4.04 on I9020a
I actually just made an account just to be able to post.
I was surprised how easy it was to do the upgrade (i.e., no need to download any other extra files to get it to work). In an hour, I upgraded from stock 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 and then downloaded the 4.04 OTA file, copied it onto the phone, install, and it just worked! Preserved all my settings and did not have to reinstall anything.
While the eye candy is nice-- the phone somehow does not feel as snappy as it used to be.

Hey everyone - I recently flashed Android 2.3.4 onto my 9023 just to give it a spin and I noticed that the bootloader was also being flashed.
Now I reverted back to the nandroid backup of the cm7 system I was using before but I'm a bit confused because fastboot tells me the bootloader version is I9020XXXKA3 and I'm not sure that it wasn't somethin with 9023 before
So if anyone is running (prefereably stock) 2.3.1, 2.3.2 on their 9023 or at least has never flashed 2.3.4 I'd be really interested to know what their bootloader says.
Especially since I'm having some hardware problems and might have to send the thing is. So to make it appear untouched it'd be good to knwo whether I need Odin or just a stock rom....
Thanks in advance
Just nandroid restore your stock 2.3.4 ROM, restore stock recovery, lock the bootloader. Your phone will be fully stock again, and it's perfectly sensible to have updates installed on your phone since purchase, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,
I am also facing same issue. After updating to 2.3.4 my i9023 fastboot shows baseband as I9020XXKD1 and Bootloader as I9020XXKA3. Even I am worried. I bought it yesterday only and I manually updated to 2.3.4 from full rom google link for i9023. In about section the device still shows baseband as I9023XXKD1. Even I am bit scared and completely confused! I also found that MUMBAI MTNL DOLPHIN sim card connection is no more getting HSPA connection but only 3G!

Ok, here is what I've done and where I am.
I'm using a Nexus S I9020T (original T-Mobile version). In the past I've used cwm custom recovery, flashed custom roms and obviously was rooted. The last flash I did, I upgraded to 4.0.3 stock and all went smooth, but as of right now I'm just not a fan of it.
So now, I've downgraded back to 2.3.6 stock rom. I'm also now sporting stock recovery and am rooted. I know this is a little weird, but I'm wanting the ability to do OTA updates using stock recovery, but also want root access, which is all working well at the moment.
But, I don't want to go back to 4.0.3 as of right now. So, is there an easy way for me to disable the system update notifications and stay on 2.3.6 right now and later on just re-enable them to do the update later.
From what I've read online, my best bet is to probably edit the build.prop file, but I'm not sure what content would need to go in there. I've also seen about freezing files, but I'm already getting 4.0.3 update notifications, so I'm not sure that will work.
Any help is appreciated
Got the Nexus S. I checked and the ICS 4.0.4 firmware was ready to be downloaded. 129.4MB.
It downloaded, and it restarting to install, then the android alien, and the yellow exclamation point with the triangle was on the screen. The phone rebooted, but the ICS software didnt' install.
Phone rebooted, and 2.3.4 is still on the phone. It says there are no software updates available now. Whats going on?
Are you rooted or do you have a custom rom installed? Either way, flash to stock 2.3.6 then you should get the 4.0.4 update and it'll install fine.

The phone isn't rooted, and its the standard ROM that came with the phone. The phone have to be on the cellular network? I downloaded the firmware using wifi, with no SIM card in the phone.
It shows the following:
Android 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9020XXKD1
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected] #1
Build number: grj22-copyright 2011 bstarrs
If you look around (google) there are places where you can download the ROM and install it manually without having to be rooted.
you can do it manually like the post above suggests or if you want to do it automatically, I believe you have to be on 2.3.6 first, then it should update to 4.0.4 as I don't believe there is a clean update from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4. I have t-mobile and my nexus was on 2.3.4 when I took it out of the box but as soon as I turned it on, it upgraded to 2.3.6, then after a few weeks it upgraded to 4.0.4.
Now my was is longer than the post above but either way I think you'll have to root your phone in order to flash either 2.3.6 or 4.0.4.
Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see
here is the TMOUS ics ruu click me
Does anyone know what the latest Radio for the Nexus S 4G is?
I used the 4.1.1 factory image from Google (as I had gone from stock 2.3.x --> CM9 --> stock 4.1.1) so I wouldn't have to restore 2.3.4 (I think I had 2.3.4 last) and work through all of the OTAs... but I realized I missed the radio updates. I did see there is a radio.pr.img in the ICS OTA... is that what I need to flash in fastboot?
Yes, I have the Nexus S 4G - D720
I've searched but I keep finding different radios with different date stamps. The only one I know for sure that is official is the ICS OTA one.
The D720SPRLF2 is the most current ... flash in recovery just like a rom.
Thanks wmdunn.
While looking for the MD5 of that file (to make sure the download was good), I found a thread will all of the radios (really should be sticked). Check here for the latest NS4G radios in the future. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077168
