when i got my phone it was on 2.3.4 and i followd this guide
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/

Thank you for your Reply.. But the guides is all about 2.3.3, I am just afraid that ill brick my phone if i mess up something.
So can i just ignore the 2.3.3 part..and just think tht its the guide for 2.3.4?

I followed this guide:

The root process for the nexus s is universal. It doesn't matter what version you're running on. What matters is your phone model.

Need help to update my i727 skyrocket

Hi everyone,
This is my first post in xda. I am new in this rooting or flashing etc. Please don't get irritated with my questions as I am new. I live in Bangladesh. I bought an at&t skyrocket i727 from a person just returned from usa which is unlocked.
My questions are
how do I update it into ics 4?
Should I wait for the update given by Samsung?
If I don't wait which will be the best and safe way to update? As I have seen so many ways discussed here I am really confused.
And after update do I need to unlock it again?
My phone details are
version 2.3.5
Baseband I727UCKJ2
kernel 2.6.35.11
Build GINGERBREAD.UCKJ2
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

first of all there is no official ics update for skyrocket the latest update is 2.3.6
although there have been many ics leaks the latest is the ucle2 leak and you can get more information from this link

I'm pretty sure there are sticky guides somewhere. That being said Please try searching before making a new thread.

[Q] Help needed to root and update galaxy nexus i9250 to jellybean IMM76K.I9250XWLD2

Hi all,
I am a new user to Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I wished to root my device but however i am not too sure with the model i am having.
Model number : galaxy nexus
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : I9250XXLA2
Kernal version : 3.0.8-gda625b
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 13 11:35:09 PDT 2012
Build number : IMM76K.I9250XWLD2
This is my phone's version and i think it is a GSM model. Because I am living in Malaysia and I am currently on GSM. But when i search online it shows that IMM76K is verizon model. So i am a little puzzled.
Hope anyone out there can help me. I would like to root it and update it to Jelly Bean.
Many Thanks

I am in the same position. I am attempting to install JB on a newly purchased Galaxy Nexus using the toolkit and have the IMM76K.I9250XWLD2 build number which shows in the toolkit as CDMA/Verizon but the phone is a GSM model... I am really unsure what my next move should be... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

F**king **** why no ones replies to this question?
please guys! help out THANKS!

Same here... Not sure if anything changed when I received the OTA update to 4.0.4 a couple of weeks ago... Doesnt make sense, I got this as an unlocked GSM phone and works fine here in Costa Rica. why is it a verizon now!!???

Unlock the bootloader
Use the toolkit to flash it back to IMM76I, google stock rom (all data will be wiped, please backup everything!)
Try see if you can get the OTA, its gonna be random and take sometime, you might want to try installing the OTA in zip form via CWM.

Here is an all in one root thread for the i9000: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434225
I would ask in that thread about the differences between the i9000 and i9000m, there may be different procedures to follow so be sure to ask
