[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

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:

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.

[Q] Can someone help me update my GT 5110?

Hi
Im a Noob so what follows may be quiet obvious but still...
I own a Galaxy tab 2 10.1 Running 4.0.3 where new os version are already out for this but for specific countries. I Got mine From Germany.

So Can someone help me update to a more to date version of android without loosing warranty Plz.
Thx

Hello, I'm from Costa Rica and has the same problem when I try to do the update from the tablet, I was reading about some rooms as you said, but I found another article somewhere on the net.... What you need to do is download the kies synch program from the samsung web page.... Install it on your pc and download any update, also download the drivers, then connect your tablet and the system recognize the model etc. At this point the kies tell you that there is a new update for the tablet and you're set.

Hi, you have two ways for it:
1. See new original update on samsung-update com.
Download from site and install on your 5110
2. Download from samsung update new os version for italian or australian, install this os on you divice and check you native language (german, russian, chinese, etc ) and use .
From first way - you not loosing warranty.
From second way - you loosing warranty, but you always can downgrade you os to you original version 4.0.3

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.
you can flash it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I'm not responsible for any damage that you will cause to your phone.

Hi Sarvesh,
Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.
guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.
Regards,
Kailash

Hi Guys,
I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.

Hi Sarvesh,
I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?
Here's what i tried.
1) Installed a custom rom
2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a
3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device
4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)
5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.
IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version
Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:

Hi Sarvesh,
Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,
Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)
Once done edit the following entries.
-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d
- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX
(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)
That should make your ROM look like stock indian.
Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.

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.
