[Q] (Q) Good Factory Rom for selling my device

Hey people. I just bought a Nexus S and to my disappointment I bought the GT-19020a (att) and I am on the T-mobile network so no 3G+ Does anyone know of a good ROM to use for selling my device? I would like for it be a factory ROM but still unlocked. Again it would need to be for the 19020a (att). Any help would be appreciated.

If you want a stock rooted rom and you have rom manager on you phone looks under drewgaren roms in the download section there is a stock one there.

Just grab the full stock rom and flash via CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
This will in no way change the status of the boot loader. If you want it to be rooted you'll just have to reflash the su binary via recovery.

[Q] CWM versions/update

On booting into recovery the version shown is 4.0.1.4, whereas in ROM Manager the current/latest version of CWM is 5.0.2.0. Can somebody shed any light on why there is a difference pls? If I flash CWM recovery via the manager will this change? I know some custom ROMs contain CWM but I'm on stock. (new noob)

If u flash it via cwm manager it should bring it to the latest version
Next phone: GNex GSM
Current phone: Nexus One CM7/Sidekick 4G stock

[Q] I need some answers about Nexus S

So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?

Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)

most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...

Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.

flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already

I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .

[Completed] [Q] Cannot Flash SGH-T999

Hey Guys need you HELP.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 which was running on android 4.3 (official rom). I rooted the device and also flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which was successfull.
I tried few roms and it did not work and i got an error which siad I have a d2spr device and the rom i was trying to install was meant for d2tmo.
now how is that possible? d2spr is for Sprint and d2tmo is for T-Mobile... and my device is T999 (T Mobile) (I REALIZED THIS AFTER MESSING UP MY DEVICE)
Later I flashed it with a custom rom via recovery menu and after that i tried loading GAPPS also from recovery mode. The custom rom was ok but gapps failed to install.
After falshing the custom rom i checked about device and it says the model number was dat of a sprint mobile (i747)
I tried other custom roms and gapps.zip but now my phone will not boot...when i turn it on it shows the SGS3 CWM screen and reboots into recovery.
No luck trying to flash it with a stock rom using odin either.
NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, only flash roms that are specific for your exact device. With your model number changing like it is it appears you've flashed some roms for other devices. You may not be able to recover the device. but see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

Tried TWPR, CWM = always get "error 7" when trying to install ROMS.

I had some issues with ROMs, so managed to revert back to stock. Now using TWRP, but only after trying with CWM, all ROMS get error 7, "can't install this package on top of incompatible data", and CWM said something about it being the wrong firmware for a "note4" or something.
I don't know what to do, can you flash roms through ODIN? Please note this is an N8010
Thanks for your help

NOTE 4 suggests you are flashing a wrong file for another model .
TWRP CWM and Philz Recovery and High On Android recovery work on N8010 tested all within the last month .
can you flash roms through ODIN? >> Custom roms no only stock tar files .

I've tried the CM 11, the CM 12 and Android revolution ROM, all supposedly work with the N8010. Revolution Rom was the first, installed but made a boot loop after I applied the N8010 compatibility flash. After that the file structure seemed to double - there was a new folder with all the other android directory inside it. I deleted the doubleup, but now I don't know what to do, it's back on stock.
