Hi,
My friend has a Nexus S which isn't doing OTA updates. She's still stuck with 2.3.6 and I'm trying to help her get ICS which means I need to know exactly what model it is. Under "About Phone" the baseband says I9020XXKF1. Is this a I9020A or I9020T?
I'd be leaning towards an i9020T but unsure if that baseband works with the A too. Best bet is to check behind the battery cover, if there is i9020 or i9020T it is the T version.
You'll be able to get her to 4.0.3 by downloading the upgrade .zip manually from google (through stock recovery), there is a stickied thread with the official links.
Thanks. I did a little googling and it seems that it's a T. If it ends up to be otherwise and I try flashing a T update, would it throw an error or would the phone get corrupted?

You can get the exact model of the sticker underneath the battery also
If you flash in stock recovery it'll just throw out an error if it is a different model.
Hello guys,
I was having the same question today so I took the battery out and looked on the back of the phone.
It just writes GT-I9020 and the baseband version is I9020XXKI1. A friend of mine imported it from Hongkong in February and had android 4.03 installed. So what version could it be?
On the Wikipedia I read that a version of GT-I9020 was especially made for the Korean market. Can someone confirm that I have only GT-I9020 and not the A or T version?

Hi all,
I just got a new NS 9023.
When I got it, the system was 2.3.6(I dont remember if that is official or not)
After some simple tests, I flash the rom to MIUI. And MIUI works fine.
One day later, I want my phone go back to official rom. So I download a 2.3.3 official rom from google.(The link was found on this forum)
Then the problem came - The signal is worse then before. I can't get EDGE, but before I flash the "official rom", EDGE works well. i tried lots of baseband packages but none of them works.
Can someone tell me what should I do now?
Here are some information:
product name herring
hw version: rev 52
bootloader: i9020xxka3
baseband: i9020xxdk1
carrier info: vof
A friend of mine bought a 9023 the same time as mine.
I checked his bootloader, only one different is the carrier info, it is EUR on his phone.
check the IMEI number and see whether it's true or not ?
system -> about -> status

Baseband seen from system is I9023XXKD1, which I consider is correct.
and signal strength usually between -83 ~ -93dBm both in office and outside.
Also, I found a radio dump bin on sdcard. Is there any way I can use that file?

At the top you say you have an i9023 but your bootloader and radio are i9020. So which is it? Is your problem because you flashed your phone with a stock rom for a different model?

Don't post your IMEI in public. I suggest you remove it. X1111 just wanted to check if your IMEI is changed, but that as nothing to do with your problem. Because if that was a problem, you couldn't get any signal at all.
As I can see, you are surely cofused which device do u have, and therefore flash wrong ROM/Radio. Did you try *#*#4636#*#*? If not try dial it, choose "Phone information", pres menu button, choose "Select radio band" and choose EUR band...
If that doesn't help you, wipe /data /cache and /system in recovery and flash correct stock rooted ROM. Hope that will help...
yes. i have a 9023 device and all 9023 around me have 9020XXKD1 information on boot screen.

Thanks tenhi.
I tried 4636 code and change my baseband to EUR. seems better now. but still not so good. i will keep testing.

I was currently using MIUI GB build from brainmaster, and I wanted to switch to the ICS after finally finding out they halted the OTA update. Well I'm using T-Mobile, and when i flashed the stock rom back, i was not able to us the 9023t stock rom as it kept giving errors. So i had to tried the 9020a (which i believe is for ATT) and that worked. My phone is able to make calls and receive texts, but it only shows that its on edge (e) and no more 3g on the status bar.
My question is, is there a way to switch the baseband back to a 9023t build? or did i always have an ATT branded phone?
edit:
This is what my phone status shows:
Carrier: Tmobile
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef
[email protected] #1
Build: GRK39F
Another update:
Just verified after pulling my battery the model states:
GT-I9020T
It seems that you have flashed an I9020A baseband on an I9020T. There have been reports that people who have done this have never been able to get 3G again.
However, you can try to follow this link and flash the KI1 baseband and see what happens.
Just out of interest... do you know anyone with an AT&T sim that you can borrow to see if you can pick up AT&T's 3G now? (you would have to make sure that then APN for att is entered and selected) It's extremely doubtful but would be interesting to know nevertheless...

I will try and flash that baseband, and will update asap. As of right now, I dont have an ATT sim card, but if i do come across one i will update as well.
Also, do you know why it happened to let me install the 9020a rom, and not the 9020t? I had to root my phone from scratch all over again to erase the MIUI rom and to try to bring it back to stock. Every time i tried to install the 9020t/9023 it kept giving me the error message:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
But it worked like a charm when i attempted to do it with the 9020a.
I was able to flash the KI1 baseband with no problems at all. Now with this will I be able to flash ICS?

Either flash the official OTA or an ICS ROM that doesn't contain a radio.
Hi Friends,
I just bought my new Nexus S and started reading the root procedure in Nexus forums, it seems to be simple (i have experience with fastboot and adb commands) but I am really amazed that what model exactly I have.
I dont want to brick due to incompatible root procedure or CWM or ROMs, so I need your expert advices about the correct procedure.
Below is my phone details :
Sticker on Back of phone says :
GT-I9020T
In Fastboot Mode:
Product Name : Herring
HW Version : Rev 11
BootLoader Version : I9020XXKL1
Baseband Version : M200KRKC1
Carrier Info : KIT
Serial No : ......
Lock State - Locked
In Settings->About :
Model Number : Nexus S
Android Version : 4.0.4
Baseband Version : M200KRKC1
Kernel Version : 3.0.8-g6656123 [email protected] #1 Thu Feb 2 16:56:02
Build Number : IMM76D
Here are my confusions point wise :
1) What model exactly I have ? if its Korean Ver then Is it 100% compatible with all the NS Roms in development forums ?
2) Is it a Super Amoled version ? Is there any way to find out screen type by any application?
3) What is the correct Rooting method for this model ? I will appreciate if anyone can give a link to thread.
4) Will it utilize the same CWM recovery as Crespo/NS ?
5) Where can I find the Stock Rom for this model ?
Help from experts will be appreciated.
Thank You All
AliDSD
1) You have the i9020T. Codename is Crespo. It is the Soju variant supporting the 2100MHz 3G band rather than the 850MHz.
2) Super AMOLED, 800x480px pentile.
3) Correct rooting method is unlocking the bootloader via fastboot, flashing a custom recovery and flashing the latest superuser.zip file.
4) Yes.
5) See below.
Just about all the information you need can be found in this sticky roundup. All of the ROMs you find in the development section (not the 4G section) will work fine on your phone unless specifically stated otherwise. The 4G is very similar though notably different. The i9020T and i9023 are the same device with a different screen. The i9020A and the i9020T are the same device with different GSM radio capabilities. No idea about the korean version.

Thank You very much for the detail reply, but there is still one confusion that Do I have Korean or US version ?
My baseband starts with M200K, sticker on back of phone says I9020T So what is the exact model I have either M200 or I9020T ??
Thanks in Advance.

If the sticker on the back says I9020T then it's I9020T (International Version)
That's really weird...
Don't post them here, but is the IMEI on the sticker the same as the IMEI in settings->about? If not (and it doesn't start with 0049 in settings), someone has changed the sticker to look like it's an i9020T (most likely scenario).

I double checked IMEI on sticker and in settings and it is same.
So if we ignore sticker for a while and decide according to Bootloader info, then what exactly is the model number ?
And second question is that Can baseband M200K... be used in US/UK models ?
Bootloader version is common between i9020T and M200 so this doesn't tell us anything noteworthy. Unsure about baseband and which versions will accept it.

Oh, its getting tough & tough before I start rooting and flashing new Roms.
I bought this Nexus S, i9020. It's just a couple of days old. Had ICS 4.0.4 and when connected to WiFi, phone started downloading latest system update. Installed the update quickly. The battery however, started draining too quickly after the update.
My problem or nightmare started when I tried to revert or downgrade this cellphone to Gingerbread 2.3.6, because I read that on GB, this phone's battery lasted for more than a day.
Anyhow, when I downloaded this One_Step_Click guide for downgrading to GB 2.3.6, the phone actually downgraded, but to my utter surprise, it has downgraded to Sprint Nexus S 4G, the phone now shows following:
Model number: Nexus S 4G (which it's not, its Nexus S i9020)
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: Unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80
Build number: GRJ22
The phone has lost the GSM signal, although SIM is still in the SIM slot. I can still connect to WiFi and connect to my Google account.
FYI, i am using Ufone GSM network here in Karachi, Pakistan.
Need urgent help in restoring my Nexus S to its original state to be able to use on GSM network.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
Seems like you are actually messed up. So you want Gingerbread 2.3.6 on your NS, right?
Just confirm me one thing, is it I9020T or I9020A? I'll be easily able to help you then

Yes, i am actually messed up.
The inside of the phone i.e. under the battery is only written i9020, nothing more nothing less.

So, it is I9020T

Hello,
I bought an Atrix 2 at ebay (the seller said it is new), unfortunately there is Cyanogen Mod with Android 4.1.2 installed. If there is any safe way to flash back to stock I would prefer this, instead of sending it back because I live in Europe and bought it in USA .
Could you recommend me an easy secure way to flash back to a stock rom? Unfortunately I don't know where to start.
Thanks,

To be honest, the best thing you can do right now is read. All of this has been covered before, repeatedly, and all the information is readily available as well as easily accessible. What you don't want to do is start flashing things without knowing what you're doing and how to get yourself out of trouble should you encounter any issues. So take your time and browse around the forums and familiarise yourself with the various flashing procedures. You won't regret it.:thumbup:

Post a screenshot of your about phone screen. The build date is the give away, on the kernel. When you post that one of us can point out if you have leak one installed.
I will be very honest here, and since you are not sure which stock version was on the phone before, you have a high chance of bricking the phone. If does not have the ATT logo, it does not tell us much. You could still have an HK version of the phone which is as locked down as the ATT one is, or you could have an Asian version, which would be good, since they are not as locked down...
I would tread very lightly here, and I would tell you to just flash another non-stock ROM from the dev section, on it, as that won't brick you.. But you really need to find a way to figure out which phone you have.

As far as I can see, there is no custom ROM which has a working webtop, I would like to use webtop. Or do you know any ROMs with webtop? I searched a lot about finding out if it is possible to figure out which hardware is in the device to check which firmware version could be right but I found nothing .
You have AT&T 125 fxz kernel... It builded in 08.31. But you also need to check your imei... And does your phone have any AT&T logo? On box or on digitizer?? It also can be AT&T phone but with Retail Atrix digitizer.... or worse Retail A2 locked down from higher cdt.bin from AT&T fw.

Reflash HK (with boot failure screen) fw & bring it to warranty & fool it (that it shuted off while charging & shows fastboot err. They'll try couple times flash Retail fw, but it will fail at cdt.bin & most likely they'll replace your board).
