Total noob here.I have a Galaxy Nexus S GSM phone running ICS.I do not know the exact model I have I suspect I am having the M200 variant.The guy who sold it to me in all probability rooted it to install ICS.I want to install Jelly Bean on it.My questions are(Please forgive the wall of text, I wanted to be as elaborate as possible)
1) How can I know if my phone has been rooted ? Can you install ICS without rooting and without an OTA update?I dont know what the previous owner did.
I found out that I have an unlocked bootloader.But When I try to install and run Voodoo Sound which requires a rooted device.It says
"Sorry,this device doesn't run a kernel supporting extended sound controls"
can I take it to mean the device is not rooted?
2) Can I find out definitively if my phone is M200 Nexus S?
Baseband M200KRKC1
Kernel Version 3.0.8-g5556123
[email protected] #1 Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012
BUILD NO : IMM76D
FASTBOOTMODE
Product Name : Herring
HW Version :Rev 11
BASELOADER : I9020XXKL1
Baseband M200KRKC1
CARRIER INFO KTT
Lock State - Unlocked
I pulled out the battery and it just says i9020 on the back of it as well as the phone box.The box also says made in Korea and it was imported into Romania. (I live in India and i bought the phone someone imported into India )
MY IMEI starts with 3569 if that helps
3) I want to install Jelly Bean and no OTA update here.If I do not know conclusively if I am having M200 will it brick if I install 9020T Roms, I remember reading somewhere they are very similar and some early unofficial Jelly Bean builds for 9020T worked on M200.I do want to install Jelly Bean that is why I am looking at the Nexus Oneclick Tookit.Does it differentiate between M200 and I9020T builds?
Edit: I checked and I need to know model SOJU or SOJUK
Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in Advance
I looked at these threads but I cannot conclusively say this is an M200 version

I am 99.99% sure I have M200 and I think so do you
I did a lot of digging and I found these links.Apparently I cant post the links directly.The first two are secured and the last one is just regular.Just add in front

randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/m200/
Now check this with someone before you do this but I think you can just go to settings>About phone>System Updates>check now
Ideally this should update to ICS 4.0.4
I think Over The Air(OTA) updates should be safe for your data and is ideal for people like me who are new to Android.Just get this confirmed with someone who knows about it and you should be able to upgrade.
I think you should be able to upgrade to ICS.My problem is different.There is no JB out for M200.
I checked with an app called android system info. It says my model is nexus S and priduct is Soju. On the factory image website of google, i saw a factory image JB for nexus S. Not sure what to do now. Also, i tried the OTA update, it gets stuck at the White triangle with green droid screen. I desperately want to shift to JB or ICS.
WHAT TO DO???

U sure it says Soju and not Sojuk?Mine says Sojuk.If only I had known it was so simple to find out my model
Just go to settings-> about phone and look at the baseband. The model is the one before the XX. e.g I9020, I9023, m200 etc
By the way there is no Galaxy Nexus S, it's just Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus, no combinations of the two.
If the phone is rooted you should see superuser in the app drawer.
Just use the search function to find out how to install jellybean on the m200, it's been answered

i am also having the same problem . If you finally able to update your phone to ICS than plz do tell me how you did it. I am worried about the same issue? Email : [email protected] skype name tosif3d
You have a dev phone so I don't see why you don't want to root your phone. Just look into the advantages you get from rooting once (again) and then decide for yourself!

good day guys! please help me with my problem.
i have recently bought a used nexus s. i have acquired this phone because i know that it uses the wolfson audio chip and i want to make it a music player by using the voodoo sound app (this app needs root access). my problem is i don't know what version it is hence i can't root it for fear of flashing the wrong kernel and bricking the phone. i'm in the philippines so if the phone was bought here, it must be an i9020 international version. besides, there are no korean apps or characters present. i took a picture of the sticker under the battery and saw texts in korean and then it says SHW-M200K at the end of the first line. i know that this is the code for the korean version. so is it right for me to assume that i have the korean version? but then again in the fourth line of the sticker i saw text that says FCC ID: A3LGTi9020. this is the code for the international version so i'm confused. when i checked the settings, about phone, it showed android version as 4.1.2 and baseband as XXKI1. lately i saw a korean version of the nexus s and the baseband starts with M200..... however, my phone's baseband is XXKI1. i'm really confused please help me. i'm planning to root this using this toolkit but i don't know what's the version of my phone.
here's the pic of the sticker under the battery:

Yes You have a korean version of nexus s as I have..
You can use one click root toolkit by M.sabra.. I'd done that on mine and working perfectly..:good:
but mine one in baseband version shows m200
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544940:)
Well, at least I am sure that its a GT-i9020T
thank you for the reply brother hito. yes that's what i'm confused of because my baseband says XXKI1 and no M200 prefix.
brother DJBhardwaj, what do you mean by GT-i9020T? you mean to say this is the international version?
thanks.

As somewhere i read on the internet that you can change your baseband version by changing radio..
I'd take some of pictures of back but didn't get clear anyone of them, said i've no other camera so you can see mine one board..
You can check your IMEI number online and they will tell you what your model number actually is..
----> http://imei-number.com/imei-number-lookup/
Or anyother site you may check...
thank you very much for your help brother hito. as indicated in the IMEI lookup, my device is a korean nexus s with model number SHW-M200K.

Congrats you already have new baseband (v20).
If your software version starts with v20 you have the new baseband, if it starts with v10 you have the old baseband
I purchased a chinese version of the Oneplus One. The international one was too hard to get, and the only hardware difference from what I could see was the 750mhz LTE band. Before purchasing I asked if it was running ColorOS of Cyanogen. They said it was running Cyanogen. I assume they were flashing this with the CM11S rom in an attempt to capitalize on the demand for a phone that was impossible to buy. And hey, it worked because I bought one.
From what I can tell, I should have gotten a system update to 4.4.4 by now. so i checked the software version...
CyanogenMod version: 11.0-XNPH25R
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c7-00020-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0cyanogenmod-g3fd6261
Build numberZ KVT49L
Is this version any different to the CM11S that should be running on international versions of the Oneplus One?
I also have the China version of One Plus One. It was already unlocked and running CM11s when i got it. Mine was version XNPH22R and i have trouble updating using OTA so i just straight away flashed the XNPH33R manually via fastboot. China version runs ColosOS while International version runs CM11s. You already have CM11s so it should be same as International but your version are outdated. The latest version is XNPH33R. Try updating via OTA first. If it fails then you can try flashing it manually.
You can grab the update at the bottom of this page.

Refers to timmaaa's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Make sure you know what you're doing or you'll end up in a bootloop like me.

There's only one version of CM11S and you're on it. For some reason your OTA system seems to be broken though. You can find the OTA updates and flash them manually. Refer to my index thread.

Well, my phone has the following specs.
Baseband Version: MSM8626BP_1032.390.81.01P, TELUS_CUST (im guessing this means its a bit modified by telus aldo the phone is unlocked)
Build number KXB21.14-L1.50
My question is, if I change this rom to the US Stock retail rom, will I get OTA updates from the US builds?

Yes, if there is ever a problem you can also just come back here and download the ota update and just place it in the root of your sd card and then update like that.
Very well, in that case, i'll wait a few days to see if the update arrives, if it takes too long or I don't see any news about that, ill just change to official lollipop from US RETAIL, thank you for answer
Hello everybody,
I have a fully updated Pixel but in the settings I see that my kernel version is indicated as prerelease as you can see. Is the same for your Pixels?
Mine looks the same
