New Nexus S Flash Carrier question - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I got an expired contract Nexus S from a friend. I checked the ESN and it's all clean. It was a Sprint phone.
What can I do with this Nexus S? Can I flash it to a pre-paid carrier such as Virgin? Thanks!

TMo Prepaid Question

Does a T-Mobile prepaid phone need to be cancelled or deactivated before anyone else can use it? An unlocked Nexus 4 to be specific.

The phone itself does not need to be deactivated...you just need to put in a different SIM card and you're good to go.

Thinking about buying one, not on Verizon network. Is this phone unlockable?

Basically I'm thinking of buying this phone and using it with a prepaid plan. Is there a way to unlock it to use on a different carrier?

I doubt there will be decent responses until the VZW version is released...
You can use the sprint version with page plus.

Is it ONE ROM for ALL

Im used to always having to buy sprint phones and I've had the nexus S 4G and Galaxy nexus 4G both for sprint and roms were completely separate from the GSM/unlocked versions. My question is does the US version D820 use the same roms and everything as the D821 version. My nexus 5 from sprint is In my mailbox and I'm on a 16 hour drive home from from a wedding. But I plan to unlock and root the min that box is opened. Thanks in advance

[Q] About the Nexus 5 forums.

I am thinking of dropping my grandfathered unlimited data from AT&T and moving to T-Mobile. Is this the forums for the T-Mobile version of the Nexus 5 or all Nexus 5's.

all nexus 5, theres no tmobile nexus 5 xda forums.
All nexus 5's are the same whether you buy it at the T-Mobile store, Sprint store, Google Play or Best Buy. All roms work, all kernels work. No need for more than one forum.

To clarify, there are 2 models of the Nexus 5. D820 for North America and D821 for Rest of the world.
Same ROMs, Same Kernels, NOT same radios.

Gflex2 working on Verizon?

Is there any scenario in which I can get this device working on Verizon, even if I ha e to buy it outright?
