[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

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.

[GT-P6210] Official ICS USA 4.0.4 firmware [STOCK/UNROOTED] OTA Available (10-3-12)

My wifi stopped working so I had to go back to stock. Once I did, during the update process, I received a notification for ICS. I let it install and no problems at all. CMW is no longer there and I haven’t tried installing it. But it is good to have the official ICS upgrade for now. I have only had it installed for a few minutes while I check out all that is new. Anyone else receive the update? I have been out of the country for a while and I didn't see a posting for the official ROM anywhere.

I think it's the same US 4.0.4 FW that is available in sammobile, but i'm maybe wrong. However it's good to hear that you got the update via OTA and that the process was ok

This is the same one I got via Kies in August, and became available OTA ~2-3 weeks ago I think.

How did the notification come to you? They keep telling me I'll get a "popup" but I'm not sure they know what they are saying. Also I went to SamMobile and I couldn't find a firmware for a p-6210 for the US. Thanks!

While my Tab was rooted I never received a notification. It is only because my wifi stopped working did I go back to the stock firmware. I was also out of the country the past year and my internet was painfully slow. Now that I have returned to the US, I could fix my Tab. Once I loaded the stock firmware, I simply let my Tab update. It was on the second or third update that I received the pop-up for ICS.

I flash my GT-P6210 (WI-FI only) with a stock 4.0.4 firmware via Odin and all runs fine. only lost root, anyone know if the the method used for root the device on v3.2 work for this version?

Thanks. I had flashed the GB version and my tab wouldn't update, wouldn't connect to Keis, and such. Not a real big deal but it kept me out of OTA updates and such for the US. Now I've got the US version and all that works.
BTW, I use to be stationed at Bragg. Love the area. (Unless you're from Fayetteville, Arkansas?)

Can you tell us what build version it is, you can find this by going to settings->about device then scroll to the bottom and you'll see build version.
Then you should be able to google the firmware and find if it is compatible with superuser or SuperSU.

Hi,

The first time I try to instal anything, it says that there are no space available but in the internal storage there are more than 18GB. I do not even know the model and brand of the mobile phone to try to learn how to do and install the rom.
With the app "droid hardware info" I could know some more things:
manufacturer: alps
model: S9 (hexing 72_cwet_lca)
RIL Version: mtk gemini ril 1.0
What can I do?
Is there a ROM to instal?
Thanks for any help.

Well, there are a tone Chinese smartphones, so ROM development isn't active on every device, plus they don't release the source code which is needed to develope a ROM.
So I don't think there is any ROMs for you.

So there's nothing I can do?
Is it a cell phone that only serves to make and receive calls? I do not know if it can accept the contact list!
Thanks for your help.:good:

Have you tried a factory reset to get rid of the internal storage issue?

Yes. I have already done a factory reset from the settings as well I did it when turning the phone on by pressing the volume down key. I think I've tried everything. I'm almost convinced I threw money away with this smartphone.
Thanks
