[Q] Which model is my Nexus S exactly?

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
android.googlesource.com/platform/docs/source.android.com/+/c8c8ef13eb4708287fd74c12d04479da2bb937bf%5E1..c8c8ef13eb4708287fd74c12d04479da2bb937bf/

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

U guys are answering your own questions lol

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.

SM-T330NU Android 7 help

Hey guys,
So after browsing around the forum and reading what seemed like it may be applicable, I am running into a bit of a brick wall.
I would like to upgrade my Galaxy Tab 4 to something better then android 5. However, all the roms i find do not state my model. Needless to say, im hesitant to try one without knowing if my device will work.
My tablet is as follows:
Galaxy Tab 4, 8.0"
Model: SM-T330NU
Android Version: 5.1.1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5306775
[email protected] #1
Build Number: LMY47X.T330NUUES1BPL1
Is there a version of Android 7 or 8 that will work on my device? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this was addressed somewhere else and i just didn't see it, but most of the models i was seeing were 2XX or 5XX or 3XX's that were not mine.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for your post. I "inherited" the same tablet from my wife and have been searching as have you. I rooted my tablet but that's as far as I have been able to get. I have seen SM-T330 builds but not SM-T330NU I searched to find out what the difference is between these two models and really never got an adequate answer. All I know is that the build for the 330 will not work on the 330NU unless I am mistaken.

Hmmm the lack of any response is starting to worry me. =( looking like i may need to buy a new tablet.....?

I too have the same Tablet. When trying to update it tells me that "The latest Updates have already been installed."
I would really like to get this Tablet a little faster. It seems to lag quite a bit.

Here is a thread to install TWRP custom recovery, root the device and install a custom 7.1 nougat ROM. There may be other GT-7500 ROMs that you can use also, but, this one should work for you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/complete-guide-to-root-update-samsung-t3724116
As long as your device is already working with your network/carrier, you shouldn't need to flash anything or modify anything to get the device radio/modem to work with your network after you flash the ROM.

Can I upgrade Samsung Galaxy Grand QuattroI8552 from 4.1.2 to lattest android?

Greetings!
It has been more than 7 years since I used Odin to re-install android 4.1.2 to my Samsung GT I8552 phone (I have ever since moved on to iPhone) By then android 4.1.2 was the latest. Now that time has changed and tech has grown, Can I do a clean installation of the LATEST android version (I checked and there is 6 and even 8++??) to this same old phone? Is Odin still the way to go? Please guide.
PS: I checked this link and it shows that the latest update was in 2015 and the latest version is still 4.1.2? I'm not clear what it means to this old model.
Thank you.

Update and Upgrade are 2 totally different things:
Update patches an existing Android version
Upgrade replaces an existing Android version by a higher versioned one

Look inside here to find out what are the minumun hardware requirements for an Android version and compare them to your phone:

He want's to upgrade, not to update.

@Kakacs
to upgrade from Android 5.1.1 to Android 10 you as 1st things of all things have to find a
1. Custom Recovery
2. Custom ROM
both suitable to your device.

jwoegerbauer said:

An upgrade is a type of update because it uses an updater process to install the upgrade. Some devices upgrade via OTA "update", which makes it an "update" and an "upgrade" at the same time. An upgrade is just a special type of update instead of a separate thing. Any software released for a device other than its initially installed or created software is an update, whether it be a full system upgrade or an incremental update.

Because I can see you - and OP - don't really know the difference between update & upgrade I'll explain it to you herewith:
A software update, also called a software patch sometimes, is an enhancement to the current version of the software or program. It provides fixes for features or adds minor improvements and compatibility.​
A software upgrade is a whole new version of the software / application. It provides a significant change or large improvement based on the last version.

Incorrect, a custom recovery is not needed and would prevent updating the MCU.
Flashing can be achieved by OTG, SDCard or third party app. OTG and SDcard are factory methods.
There are a great many posts about this suggest OP and jwoegerbauer takes a little more time reading the MTCD forums.

2. Custom ROM

Incorrect, a custom ROM is not needed. There are no 'custom ROMs' only modified ROMs for these head units.
The factory ROM us sufficient.
OP what is your SOM and onboard RAM capacity. To upgrade you may need to replace the Coreboard with a new unit, even a PX6.
