[Q] How to find out what ROM installed?

Hey guys, I bought a used HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) but it came with a European stock ROM (I've been told).
The thing is, I've got all sort of weird issues with the phone, so I'm wondering maybe the ROM has anything to do with it.
How can I find out if I really have a stock or some other kind of ROM?
My software info menu says:

Hi,
There is nothing "suspicious".
You have a Sense 3.5 ROM installed,with what looks like a stock kernel,and the latest radio.
If there is a problem with that ROM,install another one.
Super wipe first.

Is there any way I can verify that this is the latest official ROM from HTC? I don't want to try lots of ROMs until I find a good one, I just want to have the latest official ROM (that is supposed to work fine, right?). Thanks.

The latest HTC build for the US Sensation is 1.50 and it's provided by TMobile and not HTC...Sense 3.5 is a leaked build, which is why you were probably suspicious, the current HTC updates for EU & US are still 2.3.4(Gingerbread). No ICS for you till late Q1 or early Q2 in 2012. Look in the development section of XDA and the TMO build should be there somewhere(1.50).

Hi,
If it's a 3.5 ROM then it based on a leaked version,and therefore not official.
If you want official then go for a Sense 3.0 ROM.

So that's why my phone is acting up! That makes sense. Thanks!

Not exactly, a lot of devs here are using that leaked ROM and have fixed many bugs and performance hiccups. Although they still can't change it from a leak so it's still slower than a Sense 3.0 build currently, but you shouldn't rule out the ROM as the issue just yet. You should desc your issues so that others can at least explain their origin, many users here are fine with Sense3.5.

Well, somehow I'm almost sure that an official ROM would not go published as long as there are bugs like:
- Gmail fonts (email message and UI fonts also) larger when phone in landscape mode
- All predictions, suggestions and corrections turned off from the Touch Input settings, but when composing SMS, words are underlined and, when touched, suggestions appear.
- Generally slow UI performance (slower than my previous phone, HTC Desire) including keyboard responsiveness
- One sudden reset and one reboot needed one time when the phone wouldn't connect to Mobile Internet (probably stuck in a loop, 25% of battery gone in 15 mins)
- Battery indicator once was stuck at 70% or so while the phone was charging for hours and after a reboot indicated 100%
I don't know, I have a feeling all these issues will be gone after installing an official ROM...
EDIT: I think I've found my ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281040
EDIT: Thanks guys, I've managed to successfully install the latest European Sensation RUU. Everything runs much more smoothly now, lightning fast actually, compared to before..

[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

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:

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.

[Q] HTC One S: Surf during a call

The issue I'm having is that as soon as a call comes in the data connectivity drops. I noticed it on the Maximus ROM and thought it was a ROM issue and thus switched to the September version of the Viper ROM. Alas, I'm still having the issue. Is anyone familiar with this?
I was just wondering if it's a ROM issue, location issue or something entirely different. I read that the original TMobile ROM allowed for surfing during a call but I had the phone less than a day before I got rid of that ROM. Therefore, I don't recall whether or not I was able to surf the web during a call.

[Q] LG P999 info

Hi guys. Yesterday I got brand new LG P999 (T-mobile i think, On the box is LG-999,not G2X), although I live in Europe In settings options under about phone tab are following details: android version 2.3.4, kernel 2.6.32.9, built GRJ 22, baseband m6600a-scautnz-2.09720t (may212012)mp:trulge_08.09.02r_mdm, software version lg-p999-v10c-usa-xxx. When I try to update firmware through LG Mobile Support Tool it says that there is already latest version V10c. I dowloaded app GetRil form google play and it says that RIL is not compatible to existing Baseband. So my question: is there another/newer version of software version (like v20 or something), do I need to install adequate baseband and which one or just sit back,relax and wait for official ICS?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english

"sit back relax and wait for official ics "
