So I have upgraded my Nexus S i9020a (AT&T) with ROM from the google dev site....
(I cannot post links yet)
developers.google.com -> android/nexus/images
I installed the JRO03E base OS from the T-Mobile / Global version (sojujro03e)
and just the radio from (sojuajro03e)
For the most part things are working fine but it does seem to crash on me while on calls a couple times a day (which is like and 1/4 of the time) so far.
I guessing this crashing is due to my mixing of roms but I figured I would ask if
1) Has anyone else tried this and what is their experience?
2) Is anyone seeing crashing with the sojuajro03e or sojujro03e as is?

You installed the T-Mobile/9023 version for AT&T? Maybe that's your problem. You need to flash sojua for AT&T as far as I know.
I have a 9020 on AT&T and I installed it a week or so ago... been running great.
Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info yes I can go back to that to a the pure AT&T rom. I am just saying there may or may not be some benefits to having a rom that does not call back to AT&T so they can double charge you for the same data you already pay them for.
4.1.1 performance on I9020a?

Just curious here.....what are you talking about?!?!? If you have the 9020A then you need the 9020A ROM. Plain and simple. Double data? Do explain....

Anyone?
Many i9020t and i9023 get the OTA
But I haven't seen any i9020a get that.
Not yet!

I think I am going to wait since the instructions in the other thread seem to be for i9023 and it seems to be giving signature error for i9020a.

Thanks.
I just found that the ROM was for T-MOBILE(TMO)
Hold on
Because of minor difference between two models, i9020a will need to go through some changes for it to function properly. I heard that if you manually update i9020a with i9020t ROM, you will either get an error or it will kill your reception

Thank you!
I just found that an i9023 can be flashed the i9020t's rom.
How many days we should wait for?
A week or a month?
This is ridiculous that i9020a users get left in the dust. -.-

Awkward situation for i9020a
It seems that the OTA for i9020a is the stuff of next year.

Settle down. It's been one day since Google announced that ICS is rolling out. They said it will be happening over the next month.
Patience.
Just flash the Neapolitan rom and be happy besides with that rom you don't loose cwm and still have root.

Why the i9020a is the last one.(except ns4g)
Maybe because it was the last one to come out...or maybe it is a way to keep from overloading the server. Only other thing I can think is that maybe they are working on a new radio for the att version

Probably a mixture of all these. I have an i9020a and I'm running the neopolitan ROM for now. It's great. I was on stock 2.3.6 with cwm recovery. Just wiped all and flashed it. It kept the bootloader and the radio.
im running the tmo ota on my 9020a with gladosv2.0
I´m running the tmo ota on my 9020a with gladosv2.5
I haven't gotten it yet
No update for 9020a yet, -1 for google

The update should come sometime this month. Since thats when google said thats when i9020a will get the ota update. It also depends on where you are.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
who needs the ota now when there is so many good roms out there? I think the only advantage to the ota coming out is possibly a new radio that might be better.

It may be this month but Google never said it would be this month. They have never stated when/if the i9020a version is getting ICS. There's a difference between a French website posting false information and Google actually making an announcement. JBQ (from Google) has recently said 4.0.4 is not even finished yet. So I highly doubt 4.0.5 will be released this month before 4.0.4 is finished.
has anyone on at&t yet to see ICS update?
Looks like someone at Google said on Google plus that there work is done for the rest if this year & the other Nexus s version At&t & Sprint have to wait til next year I'm pissed my Nexus s4g gets no love & At&t gets no love unless they push it out next week they should of push it to all nexus s 's at the same time remember your motto Google.

If you flash 2.3.6 for the I9020T you can flash the stock ICS ROM that was uploaded last night for the I9020T. All you need to do then is flash the radio for I9020A and you have fully functioning ICS .

I keep hearing people say that. It seems weird, though, doesn't it? If that's really all it takes, why wouldn't Google have just packaged them together and released it for the I9020A? I'll never understand corporate politics...
they may just have an ota schedule to keep from taxing the servers, or maybe they are working on a different radio for the at&t version. In any case there is a rooted version of the t version without the radio in the development section that works on the a version just fine. I have been using it all afternoon with no problems what so ever.

do you have to be rooted to do that, and if you apply the t-mobile version will at&t and google still send you the real ota?

I don't think you need to be rooted, but you'll need an unlocked bootloader. And no, if you install modified firmware, you won't get future OTAs.
Hey guys,
I need to update to manually update my nexus S to 4.0.3 with the available update (128MB) file. My main concern is that i dont know which version i have (means whether it's I9020T or I9020A etc.) I bought the unlocked GSM version from Best Buy US on the very day of release during my visit last year and the box had T-mobile SIM in it as well. Currently I'm not in US and my Nexus is running stock 2.3.6 unrooted with baseband: I9020XXKF1 and build no: GRK39F. Now please can someone tell me, can i go on with the update through the process mentioned here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-gsm-nexus-s-ice-cream-sandwich
And will it give me that "recovery backlight" or "no service" or any like bug, experienced by many of the users????
The version should be on the back of the battery. Or on the box it came in (on a tag with bar codes if I remember correct).
Then just find the proper OTA for you here on xda and follow the procedure you posted.
Oh and I don't know about others but I never had a major problem. Just a couple of times the android OS kept the phone awake for a long time.

No, i couldnt find it on battery nor box...
Well if it had a T-Mobile sim then chances are it is a I9020T.
KF1 radio is I9020T and I9023

Yeah there was a Tmobile sim in the box and I9023 is for the SLCD models, right? And i'm sure that i have an SAMOLED version. So should i go on with the update??? I am tired of waiting for the updates but i'm reluctant because of those recovery and no radio after the update bugs.

The code is not on the battery. It is on the phone, UNDER the battery. I.e. remove the battery, and check the samsung sticker.

Thanks mat, got it. It's GT-I9020T, so i think it's safe to update it manually... Will try it tonight.
BTW there arent any issue or problems after manually updating it, right???
omg!!! but how can you buy a phone, and expensive too, and don't even know wich one you bought!!!! shame on you!!!

I updated Manually after I revived the OTA update but wouldn't install (my guess is due to Google throwing on the brakes) and have had no issue. If you Download the OTA zip from XDA you will have to re-root as the offical update will lock the phone again.

Interesting I came here on the same mission, to find out if it was safe to update mine.
I removed the battery and it borrowed my Dads glasses to read the label, it definitely says modelno: I9020A
I didn't actually buy mine, it was acquired by purchasing at work for a developer project, but its unlocked, didn't come with a SIM and I've used it with my t-mobile SIM back at home in the US, but I'm currently using it with great results, including USB tethering with a pre-pay O2[UK] SIM.
So which version/model does this make my phone?
I really love Atrix 2, and I have two options:
one for a chinese one, which is cheaper and unlocked, but i'll have to give up all the android apps and facebook, twitter, etc.
one for a att one, which is relatively expensive and locked, but loaded with all the apps i needed.
So, my question is that is it possible to flash a chinese Atrix 2 with a stock att rom or other English roms that has the apps loaded without being carrier-locked?
Thanks!
why not getting att one, first it is cheaper XD(att version release 2 months early than chinese one). Also it seems like it has more support on att version in here, since most rom here are base on att version here.
But the chinese version also has a white one, which i prefer. Plus, i can only buy the att version using ebay, while i can tell my dad to buy the chinese one and bring it for me

No you can not do this. The ROMs (fxz files) are hardware Dependant, and that includes the Radio. You can not flash an MB865 fxz (ROM) to an ME865 phone, and vise a versa.

That is not something we discuss in here, but I am sure a google search will get you what you need pretty quick. I have heard it is possible though.
yes i am using the att version atrix 2 now right at ur location . I got it right after it released and unlocked it. I have been using for 2 months everything work perfect so far.

I have the 32Gb LTE version with an AT&T Sim installed (5gb data plan), Wifi on as well.
I was at the latest KitKat update and noticed that lollipop had been released a few days ago. Every time I goto about tablet / system updates it says its up to date, but still on version 4.4.2. Bought the tablet new from Newegg when it came out. Never had any problems with updates, even using TowelRoot in between updates.
I have reset back to factory and still am not having any luck getting an OTA update, No error messages it just returns with an already up to date message. Any ideas?
Download it and flash it manually.
It's at&fee causing you the strife

Same here and mine says I'm up to date. hmm.
After looking around .. it seems that AT&T hasn't "approved" the LTE version and since the damn thing ships with an AT&T sim card ... yeah .. doesn't matter that it works with TMO (which I'm using) ... we're not getting it for a bit for the 32GB LTE version.

The link that was posted above does indeed work with AT&T and i'm getting impressive LTE transfer rates. Only had Lollipop installed for 45 minuets but I have not seen any issues with it. Much faster than Jelly bean.

Yep. It's working well on mine as well and I'm getting 40mb/13mb on TMO's LTE. Really nice. I just forgot that I'd rooted mine with a GUI tool instead of the normal way so my bootloader was still locked ... when all was said and done ... fresh start.
Ah well .. a quite Titanium restore and I was back in black.
