Use the one click return to stock, your phone will be stock again in 5 minutes.

I don't think there is a one click return to stock for GSM nexus.

That's too bad oneclicks are the way to go. There should be Odin files for the GSM nexus, and Odin has never failed me other than the time I bricked my friends galaxy s 4g, but those are weird phones and have nowhere near the developer support that the nexus or even the epic has. With Odin I brought an epic back to life after a toilet splash.

Depends on how you flash the phone over to Metro PCS. From what I'm lead to understand from reading.
I was thinking of taking it to them n have them flash it

You'll have to ask them when they flash it for you. Wasn't aware they were doing the flashing again.

[Q] Updating UNLOCKED SGH-i727

Hi to all!
I'm a new member here and I'm hoping that you guys can help me with my simple question. I'm very new with Android OS since I've been an iPhone user for the past 2 years. So here it is:
I just bought an UNLOCKED AT&T SGH-i727 from a store here in SAIPAN, MP and I'm planning to update my Gingerbread 2.3.5 to 2.3.6. Will it lose the UNLOCK if I do it? I believe the phone is not rooted and it was just unlock using an unlock code. Please help. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
It will not lose its unlock. It will remain unlocked no matter what.

Yea if it's unlocked it will be unlocked forever. Although root will be lost upon installing the update.

Thanks! However, when I checked for SOFTWARE UPDATE here in the phone, it says my current software is up to date?

You need to be running a rom that lets you put the phone into "modem" mode so you can reprogram the PRLs and what not.
I used this guide

Yea i actually have that page bookmarked on my computer... most of it i know i cant do....im gonna just get it flashed for 25

OK so for some odd reason the adb doesn't recognize my phone when I plug the phone in...does anyone know why?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Nvrmind...I didn't have the drivers....but now I had it flashed over to cricket but all I have is talk and text. No data at all. I was supposed to get a new number from cricket but when I call someone its my sprint number...I know it needs to be programmed, but what would cause it not to program? Would it be that I flashed a different radio awhile back ago? He said the prl was the newest...are the prl and radio be the same thing?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
ok so finally I have my phone flashed to cricket, what all can I do and not do? are root, recovery, roms, scripts all still in play? Im assuming since im with cricket now that radios don't work...am i on the right track?
