Hey people. I just bought a Nexus S and to my disappointment I bought the GT-19020a (att) and I am on the T-mobile network so no 3G+ Does anyone know of a good ROM to use for selling my device? I would like for it be a factory ROM but still unlocked. Again it would need to be for the 19020a (att). Any help would be appreciated.
If you want a stock rooted rom and you have rom manager on you phone looks under drewgaren roms in the download section there is a stock one there.

Just grab the full stock rom and flash via CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
This will in no way change the status of the boot loader. If you want it to be rooted you'll just have to reflash the su binary via recovery.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
I have rooted Neo V Gingerbread. I am going to unlock the bootloader so that I can flash custom ROM like MIUI or Paranoid Android.
I got 2 questions
1) Is Unlocking Bootloader by official technique is safe?
2) Can I directly go from Gingerbread to Jellybean? Or do I have to factory reset my phone first(Have backed up my ROM using CWM), then go to ICS first and then flash Jellybean ROM?
Help a Noob please! Thnx

1) It usually is, but you're doing it at your own risk. Only continue if you know what you're doing.
2) I think you can go to it directly, though I'm not 100% sure.
