I am going to buy a Nexus S and the device has the i9023 marking.
I read that the basebands and the displays are not the same as the original Nexus S i9020.
i9023 has SLCD and the i9020 has SAMOLED( <3 it on my Galaxy S )
I also read a few threads here where people complained of not being able to flash roms and some not able to root i9023 because of something on the /cache partition.
I am currently using a Galaxy S and had a Motorola Milestone prior to this.
Can I run original i9020 ROMs on the i9023 device or will it be a problem.
When flashing a i9023, will I have to change anything or will it be downlaod flash and go.
Can someone please clarify this for me.
I'm thoroughly confused.
This device is a bit expensive in India ~600USD and I don't want to make a mistake while buying it. (I already made one when I got my Milestone...useless locked bootloader)
Thanks in advance.
I'm a recent i9023 Nexus S buyer and I can say that the Nexus S is still a very good buy. Even though currently I cannot install custom roms due to cache problems, but the stock GRI54 is pretty darn fast, even faster den my Nexus One on stock/custom rom.
At first I thought it was a huge bummer, but after using stock on Nexus S for awhile. I figured I can live with it for awhile until the problems get ironed out.
Will a 9020 not work in your country? If it does, I'm sure one of us could help you obtain one.

You'd be impressed on how much faster it runs on CM7. Its speedd that you didnt even know was possible. Guaranteed

I would love to, but due to unforeseen circumstances I wasn't able to install CM7 on my Nexus S.

There's a thread in the general section about the Nexus S - 9023 S-LCD. In there a guy confirmed that he was able to install CM7 on his GT-i9023 Nexus S. Are you sure you're doing it right? You should take a look at that thread.

Maybe that guy has GRI40 instead of GRI54? Because from my other thread someone explained that his i9023 that comes with GRI40 works fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999462
But in another thread opened by someone who had similar problems, those who had GRI54 in their i9023 have the same problem as me.

So you can't even flash CW recovery? If you can you could just nandroid a stock GRI40 if it's a problem with GRI54. This seems kind of odd since they are both technically the same phone (9023 w/GRI40 & 9023 w/GRI54)

Yes the i9020 should work perfectly in my area.
I have Vodafone India which is 900 MHz and 1800 MHz
If anyone can get an new i9020 then I'd take it

I'm a new user of the nexus s i9023 and I had the cm7 nightlies #31 installed. The main problem is the cache error in CWM recovery and all u need to do is to flash the CWM for i9023 and everything else will work as per the i9020.
Can the XDA Mods or whoever please please make 2 seperate threads for this. I have a SPRINT Nexus S and i want to root and put a good rom on my NXS but after reading and reading and reading, i realize the thread is meant for the Tmobile GSM version. I am seriously just done, im confused, i dont know what threads to even go by right now. I dont know what Recovery Console, Root Method, Files, Roms are even what i should be looking for at this point. I didnt even know that Tmobile has the nexus s. I work at a Sprint Corporate store and i thought we were the only one that has the Nexus S...
Can someone shed some light for me here??
I was pretty active with my Samsung Moment over at SDX and even posted some Write-ups on rooting, theming, installing roms for the moment. Now i have the nexus s and want to do the same but this is mind boggling now that im seeing people talking about the tmobile gsm version.
So if it says 4g then it for you. If not then don't flash it. Easy as pie.

What he said. Anything that pertains to sprint version will say so on title otherwise assume its for gsm version. There are plenty of stickies with ns4g noted on title with info on roms root methods etc.
not to mention i cant even post replies in any DEV thread asking if this thread/files are meant for the sprint nexus s.

i havent seen a thread title that had "sprint" in it. so is "ns4g" pertaining to the sprint version? because tmobile has a 4G network also

Yes, the T-Mobile version is just known as a Nexus S and the phone doesn't actually support the 4G radio. It will often be referred to as the i9020, i9023 and such.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Yes it is easy to figure out which threads are for which phone, but I agree with the OP that there should be a separate forum for the CDMA and GSM versions of the phone. Especially now that the CDMA version is catching on and more and more people are jumping on the NS4G bandwagon. I hope the mods listen and separate the 2. I love my fellow T-Mobile peeps and would miss them, but it needs to be done because I can see how it would be confusing for noobs especially.

tmobile has a 4G (3.5G cough) network but nexus S GSM does not support it. CDMA NS 4G from sprint does.
The actual names are also different in that respect:
Nexus S (T-mobile GSM)
Nexus S 4G (Sprint CDMA)
As you can see 4G is the only difference in the name hence the [4G] in most thread titles.
thanks for clearing things up, im not necessarily a noob..a noob to the xda forums yes. i got really into my moment on the sdx forums but FINALLY upgraded and sdx really has nothing. its looking like the process to root and install roms/kernels/kitchens are slightly different. im seeing everything done through adb where on my moment i just flashed the android opsys + recovery.tar with the samsung updater. threw the rom.zip, bootanimation.zip, themes and modded files/update/zips on the root of my sd and updated through recovery.
anyone have a stable rom you'll recommend? whats the difference between the CM Nightly and CM7?

There is no stable for crespo4G (NS4G) but nighly 7 runs just fine. You can get it here. I also use Netarchy's kernel found here Make SURE you get the universal if you are running CM7.
Now, for stock, there is nothing better than Pete's stuff here You can also flash Netarchy's kernel but this time, you need the other one which says "for stock".
Also, be careful with which kernel you flash. Netarchy's post has many links including the GSM NS. Also, be careful with any other ROMs. We've had a case of bad ones for NS4G.
Like everyone else has been saying, in the ROM title it will show NS4g, or CDMA, or sprint. I have been browsing the dev section and have no issues. As far as a stable rom I am using Opensoju 0.2.4 and it appears to be working quite well. Read through the rom threads and see all the comments and then pick one and try it. If it is not to your liking, try another. When I had my EVO I flashed roms 10 times a day haha. It gets addicting!
I see my voice has reached higher power and there is now 2 seperate parent threads. Nexus S and Nexus S 4G (sprint) .
Anyone clear up what the difference of CM7 and The nightlies version?
You really didn't know T-Mobile had this phone first? Ive been eyeing it since they got it.

Im getting Nexus S 4g from sprint tommorrow and was wondering is it possible to flash Nexus S rom to this phone?
I think the only difference with the Tmobile, Att Nexus S are that they dont have 4g like Sprint Nexus S. if im wrong please let me kno.
I see there are two different sections on here one for Nexus 4g and other for Nexus S.
Im a lil confuse so if someone could please enlighten me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
No you can't flash ns roms on ns4g phones. They do have some differences. Make sure u read every rom post and if you're still unsure ask. Only things that u can flash from the ns thread are kernels but they have to say ns and ns4g in it.

Noooooo that would be a huge no-no. You run about a 95% chance of bricking your phone with ns roms on ns4g. As the other poster said you should read first make sure it's ns4g rom. Rom manager has most popular ns4g roms and these are ns4g only roms as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071500

Has anyone tried this ROM on the G2x and got it to work? I see this link being passed around in the HD2 and Nexus forums and it says its the dump of the ROM from the M9. If someone can find it, reupload it, and test it for us G2x users?

He replied to my comment on Google+ about CM9/CM10 not being on the MyTouch 4G yet, and gave a clear reply saying that its in the works
"Moe Nasrallah
CyanogenMod... Please start supporting the MyTouch 4G with newer releases :/ .. The most we got from you is CM7.2. We'd love to get our hands on CM9, or surprise us with CM10 builds. There are devices with lower specs than ours that got CM9, and I don't know why our device's community got ditched like that :c
Abhisek Devkota
+Moe Nasrallah you and the vision are in the same boat: broken OMX (which we can rewrite relatively quickly) and broken camera drivers(which we have to rewrite completely).
Until we rewrite the camera drivers (which is in progress), we won't release a 9/10 build. No one is 'ditching' anybody, things just take time.
