[Q] How to get my Nexus S working ?

Hi, this is my first post
Last year I found a new Nexus S outside Undergroung (subway), when I got home I checked and it worked fine with my simcards (vodafone and t mobile) I but never used it really.
My phone is now broked and I tried to use this Nexus but any simcard I insert is now not working everything else is fine, wifi, apps etc. It just won't recognise any simcards.
When I try to make a call it says " mobile network not available".
I searched the forum but found nothing to solve the issue. I have taken it to my local repair shop and they couldn't help me. It has the ice cream sandwich android version 4.0.4.
Can anyone here help me with getting the sim to work ? : )
Did it have ICS when you found it? Also, what model is it? (I9020A, I9020T, I9023?)
It did not. I updated it.
Its I9023.
Any more info required?
How did you update it?
I'd try to flash the factory image with fastboot and see if simcards work.
Maybe it got reported lost so IMEI got disabled

Right, did you obtain the phone legally (purchase), or did you find the phone lying around and picked it up?
oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S!

I found it last year as I said in the opening post.
Would they still do it ?
Try flashing it back to an earlier version like 2.3.6

If it was reported stolen, no, if anything they might report you for having a stolen device

Hand it in to the police. If no one claims it within some time frame, it's yours (at least true for uk)
Then if you do get to keep it, then you can ask your network to unblock the imei, and cite the police reference so they know it's legit

I could try that. How do I flash it back to an earlier version ?
Sorry for being such a noob, I have no knowledge about phone technology

Do ths first: http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
then using the recovery (power+volume up) flash the second one if your phone is i9023 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307 there you go, stock 2.3.6, rooted.
I do suggest you hand this to the police, for legal purposes only

boost CDMA asking for sim card
Hello. First time posting in a forum. Many thanks to all who have guided me..
I had to give a friend my boostmobile moto g because I was so lost trying to get it back to working order. When he gave it back it worked in all ways except it now asks for a sim card. Its CDMA and never had a sim nor is there a spot for one. Does anyone know what went wrong and how to fix it. Its the 8gb and now has the cyanogenmod on it. I have no service on it now

I did it on mine about two months ago and it's perfect. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't have done it.
@OP
No, there is no other method. Either by rooting or unlocking the bootloader, will break your warranty. Live with the second sim icon or do it already.

Give me one good reason to buy a dual Sim version if you flash on it single version firmware.
Btw, if it's working, kudos!

8gb more internal space, perhaps?

Well the XT1033 variant has two versions, and the one I bought is 16gb which is the only reason I bought it instead of the XT1032's only version of 8gb. I don't give two left f*** about the two sims, only about the internal space. Also I was interested on the extra shells for design purpose. There you have it, the connection you wanted.
Anyway it's not the point of the topic and I believe the OP has been given the choice above.

[Q] [SOLVED] How do I know if a used N5 it's 32 or 16gb

Hi, A friend has recently bought a used Nexus 5
it claims it 's a 32GB version, but in the system/storage only shows 16gb
I know there is a fix for this but, since this a is a used phone, how can we be sure if it really is a 32gb version, or ionly 16?
Thanks
Restore to factory.

bootloader says 16gb,
so that's the real thing?
the bug shows the incorrect size in system/storage only ?
Thanks

It tells you 16GB in system/storage and 16GB in bootloader? Sounds like you have a 16GB device.
100% sure. I'm currently having the storage issue (16Gb instead of 32Gb into the Storage menu) but my BL still tells me 32Gb.
That's it, Thanks to all..

64 gb motherboard on originally 32gb galaxy s6 920f

hy guys,
cause my s6 motherboard is gone by an "i don't know what happened", during a normal wipe data from twrp 3.0.2-0 i don't know how my s6 don't turn on anymore. dead completely. a friend send me an efs backup from his s6, i've flashed that and my s6 has turned on. the only BIG matter is the imei, that don't work for nothing the ril. i've done a billion things to try to let my s6 working, but it doesn't. so i will know if possible replace my mainboard with an 64 gb version, and if there is things to know-modify ecc, because i've found in ebay an 64 gb mainboard for g920f, and i've started thinking thank you!!

IMEI is unique to each individual device. If you wrote over yours with his.. thats a whole other world of problems.

What exactly are you planning to do with that?? Yeah you'll be able to get it in there, maybe even get it to boot. But you still won't be able to use it on a network till you get your imei back in there

OK. What happens next?
Yes same size motherboards so no reason it wouldn't work with everything else

the new motherboard comes with a different imei. he just needs to register the new imei on his account. To prove ownership he may have to show proof of ownership.
Did it work after you replace it? I was thinking to do it on mine as well.
