Goooood.I love leaks, they make me excited! Do we have files from the verizon phone at least and has any dev used photorec to recover anything more or sth like that? DD 'd the partitions?

Hey motu0083 ,did you test any recording? i'm talking about 720p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
So correct me if I'm wrong, Motu bought a Nexus S from Ebay that had "ICS" then he filmed it and sent it to Engadget. After which Google OTA locked his phone? Now we're scrambling to get an ICS rom, but Motu's phone (as far as I know the only public phone with ICS) is still locked and no one is really helping him out.

Either this is a troll fest,

or everyone is a bunch jerks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cawatts:
3 devs helped him out /system and /data were wiped but they know for sure it was ICS on the phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishs:
you haven't read the whole post have you, the devs helped him and they extracted the kernel from the phone. there is nothing else on the phone because its been wiped. he got all the help he could have asked for
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanDreaM:
Wrong, Google did a remote wipe prolly engadget whistled it, and devs are trying to help us all.We wait.

Motu0083

If you thought it was a rom already in circulation, why did you send a video to engadget?

Where do you work? Google maybe???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emacore:
I only want a video of his locked phone by Google... so as he made a video to show ics.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X1111:
how were it wiped by itself :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:
He had a data connection an they force wiped it i guess
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
Just the kernel was left hey... hmm.

Well, now he just needs someone to help him but GB back on the phone, so he can actually use it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Or you completely failed to read the thread.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X1111:
hhmmm ,that like a tragedy :|
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anishs:
he's already been offered a trade for a new phone or an option to reload the stock ROM on his phone according to the devs

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
Haha, yeah my fault.

To many words.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] castro08:
Lol come on 500 + response who gonna read all that
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
No, did not try out recording video.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YDardeer:
The fact that devs who worked with that guy are still posting and replying to this thread while still haven't given a detailed explaination why /system is not recoverable and what does partial dump means.... says alot about the credibility of this story.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
yes, my 3G was on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
I feel like banging my head against a brick wall. The ics part of the story is true. They got a kernel from the dump. It is a 3.0.1 kernel meant for ics which basically means its useless unless your running ics.

Most of us have read it. You fail and get -9000.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
I mean, I know that ICS will come on my Nexus S once they release it. I just want to know why this Nexus S shipped with ICS, and where it came from. Muto, have you tried at all contacting the seller of the phone, asking him where abouts he got it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
If you read you would know.

Says a lot about your ability to read.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitekidney:
mind posting any pics?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X1111:
why dont you get the phone to services ? they should fix and unlock it....

are you waiting for help here or you want to help our devs with extracting your rom ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
The guy posted a whole video on Engadget.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maisum:
Well you seem to have convinced the smarter minds of XDA so who am I to say otherwise. Everything will be sorted out on the 11th when we see what ICS really looks like. Then either you will be wrong or all the ones that don't think its true.

For now, if anyone else disagrees take it elsewhere because there's nothing more to this case. Goodluck to the devs.

@motu0083

Thanks for all this info. Interesting to see what's coming soon, but maybe a little disappointing for some.

As requested by someone else earlier (who clearly didn't believe you, unlike me), could you post a link to the closed ebay auction?

Thanks :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
This would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanDreaM:
Hmmmm not a good idea.We don't want cops busting anyone right now...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
There could not possibly be any recriminations from posting a perfectly legal link to an existing public webpage. Sounds like you're scaremongering ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X1111:
in prior pages there was a link to that if i'm not wrong

edit : i think it was this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200654721846
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danon.brown:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200654721846

thats the second one i believe the ebay seller had 2. i emailed him and asked to help out the dev community and provide a phone dump before he shipped it out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge330823:
Is Google pulling an apple on us? Come on Google leaks stuff on purpose but pulling an apple is just going way to far. So no I don't think police will be involved.

(Sorry for saying apple. It burned as it rolled off my tongue. Cursing is bad)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Don't bother with that ebay guy. I already messaged him earlier today to ask if he had any more Nexus S's with Ice Cream Sandwich android version on them for sale.

He replied saying he doesn't know what I am talking about... Kinda odd, but I guess it could be a google employee covering his own ass after realizing he forgot to wipe the phones before selling them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spittal:
Well, the screenshot clearly shows ICS. So I mean, c'mon.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Figuring out someones reasons for doing something is kinda useless. We'll never know the real story. If it was an accident, if it was intentional, or if it was sold by some clueless person who just happen to get their hands on it somehow. It's all speculation at this point. And if the guy is covering his own ass, he best lie about it lol

edit: I'm referring to the ebay seller.

edit2: looking at the guys current listings, and his past sales. He sells all kinds of junk. Perfume, clothes, shoes, iphones, nes games...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YDardeer:
It could also mean that someone packaged a 3.0 kernel for gingerbread
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Cm has been working on one but I believe it was only for HTC and the snapdragon 72xx series
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:
