hey, did u buy the i9020 in india? i have a seller on ebay. though he says there is no warranty for the amoled version. so i'm in a dilemma. do u have a international warranty?
[Nexus S General] sagarpruthi:
You don't get international warranty on the device. Even I have the i9020t purchased from a t-mobile store in the US. But my warranty is not valid here in India.
[Nexus S General] anirudh.pullela:
So did any of you get ICS up and running? I'm using an i9020T and running ICS now. Beta 4 of We Scream for Ice Cream by Drew Garen. Its really smooth though its an SDK port! I think you guys should try too. Cheers!
[Nexus S General] rrohanjs:
i wud rather wait for it to come officially cuz then after few months ur gonna bet bored of ics too .. so might as well wait

Hi,

Does the i9023 sold in India render indic fonts like hindi, tamil etc., out of the box without any custom roms?

Thanks.

Nope

No warranty for i9020 here ? :(

If I get the power button repaired from some local guy would I be compromising on the switch quality ? What kind of expenses am I looking at ?

Okay so I flashed 2.3.6 from CWM, then used it's recovery to flash update.zip

It's WORKING!! **** Yes! It's no Rocket Science :)
[Nexus S General] athani:
So you used the stock recovery to flash ICS?

Can you also please confirm the baseband shown in your bootloader.
[Nexus S General] _KP:
according to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396376&page=4 it should work from CWM recovery too....but you should have 2.3.6..the only issue for me now is root in ICS :/

Hi,

Need some advice on the procedure.

I am on 2.3.6. Settings-> About phone shows - Baseband Version I9023XXKF1. and I have not rooted the phone nor i have CWM Recovery.

As i read I can get OTA if i downgread to 2.3.3, I have downloaded 2.3.3 ROM (Android 2.3.3/GRI40/XXKB1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader. From Stock Recovery, How do i flash this ROM?

Thanks in advance......
[Nexus S General] heartblasts:
Actually when i was on 2.3.6 i didnt get any OTA, so i downgraded to 2.3.3 and i got OTA 4.03 (160 MB) full rom package

i downloaded 2.3.3 rom package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
[Nexus S General] athani:
You will have to flash custom recovery. Then flash your 2.3.3 downgrade ROM. I did that and now my phone is downloading the 2.3.6 OTA so I don't see the point :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:
Got confused now guys!!!!!
[Nexus S General] athani:
AFAIK, downgrading is not possible from stock recovery. You need custom recovery.
[Nexus S General] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:
Okay...If you manage to get past 2.3.6 and get ICS....please keep us posted...:)
[Nexus S General] athani:
Ok. Phone is downloading 2.3.6 as we speak.
[Nexus S General] :
So I'm not living in India (wich is a beautifull country BTW) but I have a i9023 as I'm living in Europe.

My NS is unrooted as I like to keep it simple (I had a XPERIA X8 wich was rooted and tweaked a lot to get the closest possible to the Nexus's Gingerbread Stock ROM and got tired of the time spending tweaking my phone : that's why I bought the NS).

So it looks like the I9020T's OTA is the same as the one for our I9023 (as it was also the case for the previous OTA released)...

Both phone are exactly the same appart from the screen.

In fact the recovery is not missing or really messed up, it is just that it's almost invisble because of the screen wich is different from the I9020T. If you put the phone at sunlight under a certain angle you will see the bugdroid and then if you push power then volume up to get into it you may see the different options as the 2.3.6's recovery.

Also someone posted the full ROM package link here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20421407&postcount=289 wich is the package I used and flashed using stock recovery. I've done a full wipe after that to avoid any compatibility problem and everything is working fine appart from what I've explained with the recovery.

So I think you can wait for the OTA release but if you are as impatient as me you can flash the package in the provided link.

Maybe someone ...

... who has already got the OTA "in the air" can confirm the thing about the recovery is also "messed up" in the OTA received automaticaly from Google.

Cheers
[Nexus S General] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:
". I've done a full wipe after that to avoid any compatibility problem and everything is working fine appart from what I've explained with the recovery.

"

just to confirm, if i understood correectly. You have done a full wipe before you installed ICS update?
[Nexus S General] grizz46:
I flashed the 2.3.6 stock and was waiting for the ICS OTA but it never showed up. Flashed CWM recovery again and downgraded to 2.3.3. Now its downloading the ICS MR1 OTA :D

OT: Anybody have info about MIUI ICS for i9023 ?
[Nexus S General] :
Yes (I've done one after too since I'm the type of guy who doublecheck but it's useless).

Could you pls confirm the recovery too dark problem after you have downloaded and installed the OTA from Google trough the air... Thank you
[Nexus S General] athani:
Flashed 2.3.6 OTA and forced check for updates. No joy :thumbdown:
[Nexus S General] grizz46:
Did you force check for updates (checkin) after you flashed 2.3.3 ? I did not force check and it showed the OTA automatically. I also did not go through the initial setup after I flashed GB (Google sign in and sync stuff, but I don't see how that could make a difference?).
[Nexus S General] athani:
I did force check after 2.3.3. But like you said, it shouldn't matter.
[Nexus S General] heartblasts:
for me Recovery is not working. black screen, i have got full roM ota 160.8 MB
[Nexus S General] dhavaldesai.7@gmail.com:
Boommmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On ICS now..so far....whatever i test...working good!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link for Full Stock.....God bless you CSRNXS!!!!
[Nexus S General] :
Okay! no big deal then... We will have to wait for the next OTA to get it working properly... It's not a big problem since its in fact working (you can see it working at the sunlight under a certain angle) and you can always unlock the phone and push a custom recovery with fastboot if you really need it.

So it looks like the link I gave in my previous post leads to the same package as the one provided by Google through the "aired process update".

Your welcome... I did not do a lot really... You should thank the user providing the link instead...

But for my Google Nexus S , I9023, Can someone give me the process to root it ?

And as I m in India and is my Bootloader also locked as I am using a GSM version of the phone independent to all SIM'S......?

If Someone can give me a proper One Click Rooting Tutorial rooting thread tutorial for the Google Nexuss i9023 , with SIM free GSM version ?

I know many of you people have rooted your I9023 here, so someone giving me the first touch would help me in taking this risk for my Nexus S .

However with my Galaxy S2 , I am using it like heaven as I keep flashing Custom ROMS, stocks and ODIN plays like a candy in hands.
