So why are members hating on the op? Op had the legit ICS, and if it was themed then that's one hell of a good theme. Maybe the NS the op got could've belong to someone from Google, we don't know. So haters quite hatin.

If the phone already started the OTA process wouldn't it be to late to dump the system? IE, it restarted and started erasing...

I'm not quite sure what went on here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
nope, not unless it downloaded it completely and already rebooted itself to apply the update.

Also, we know OTA can update a phone to a newer version, but can it also downgrade a phone from one version of android to an older one? And would they have this ready?

My guess is if something was going on, it was just to remotely wipe the phone. But I'm not sure if remote wipe actually formats all the data, or just restores it to factory defaults.

i watched the video again and noticed you have a voice message, did you listen? could be a Google employee asking for his phone... eheh
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
Well I was under the assumption that's what happened; because, it took a while for him to get a reply and for someone to tell him to remove the battery.

I just assumed he didn't think to turn it off since it was "locked"; and, I would assume it would be unable to power down if Google took control.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
1. he doesn't want to risk turning it on just yet. so you can't put it in airplane mode.

2. his best options are to remove sim, and turn off wireless on his router so it can't connect back.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j_r0dd:
op i sent you a pm with my gtalk. all you need is to get cwr on there to do a nandroid, but this may not be usable to anybody if google can wipe the device remotely. as soon as your phone checks into google services they will have your imei and that's it. but i still wanna play with.

1. turn phone off

2. pull sim

3. boot phone by holding vol. up + power
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
Not sure how sdk works but could you run it in there and test it or make a disk img to emulate on the computer (if its real)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
if the phone is just locked. all he'd need to do is do a factory reset from recovery. That wipes it, and removes all personal info. so on the next boot it goes through the google walkthrough of setting up your gmail account, ect. But to be safe, it would be best do dump the phone before doing a factory reset.

If it rebooted after an update/downgrade, he'd have been able to tell by the boot screen, the lock screen ect.

I think it was just in the process of doing something. What? no one knows yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
if i put the battery back in all i get is a black screen with the name Google in the middle and a lock icon at the bottom, all soft buttons lighted up.

i cannot do anything. will not power back down using the power button
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
Maybe someone knows. I don't know. I'm confused. Lol. I still don't believe any of the ics talk. Until someone else can confirm it. So hopefully he really has what's said to be had and we can take a loon at it real or not. Get to the bottom of this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
Talk to j_r0dd or mathkid95. They know what they're doing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
That happens instantly as soon as you put the battery in? (without pressing power button?)

edit: yeah talk to those guys (j_rodd or mathkid), they know what they are doing.

also, you don't need to flash a recovery. you can fastboot boot recovery as well, leaving the original intact. just so you can dump it. that is if you can get into the bootloader.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
The lock means the bootloader is unlocked. I knew it. The custom roms gone bad Charlie Murphy!

I think he confused that for a locked phone since it's no longer booting.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
im sorry, after i press the power button, i get the black screen, google, lock icon
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motu0083:
could it have gone bad from something Google did?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
don't do that. put the battery in and then hold the up volume key and then press power. that should take you into the bootloader.

edit: don't listen to BlackHawkA4 either. a lock means the bootloader is locked. if it is a unlocked lock, then it is unlocked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHawkA4:
It means bootloader was unlocked. Which you do to root. And if the rom went bad and its no longer booting you could get stuck there.

I guess they could have wiped it but at the same point they would have just put on gb so you wouldn't be stuck there. No?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
what happens if you turn the phone on holding volume up? stuck in Google logo too?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i think at the best case, the op is innocent. that he bought a phone on ebay, that someone else put on sale there. the person selling the phone had it rooted running a custom rom and launcher, and thought it would be funny to edit the build.prop to say whatever info it does say in the about phone. it even says IceCreamSandwich in the android version. that should be a number, like android 2.3.5(random number). but instead it says IceCreamSandwich. i think it says that because the previous owner didnt know what android version number ICS would be. and the baseband that says I9020XXKF1 is a current baseband, that i happen to have on my phone too. BUT, i hope im wrong.

This leaves little hope though, doesn't it? I mean wouldnt a remote wipe of the system leave us with absolutely nothing?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
If it was remotely wiped, wouldn't it need to reboot to wipe? How can google use the operating system to wipe /system while it's in use?

I'd think it would have to set up a trigger to wipe it on a reboot. But that is just a guess of how I'd think things would work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mills00013:
It could have done just that. The command could have been issued and the phone rebooted and cleared before he even knew what was happening.

The shot in the dark that I would take is the hope that in the event of such a wipe, the data on the NAND isn't actually zeroed out, and it might be recoverable through conventional data recovery tools...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i dont think the op did anything wrong. i think the person that sold the phone is playing a joke. but, what i want to know is, how did you determine that google DEFINITELY did a remote wipe. i mean the word definitely is absolute, and i think that its more of a guess. ive seen many phones, rooted and not, custom rom and stock, display the same symptoms. the user happens to pick up the phone after not touching it for a while, and its stuck on the google logo, not booting. i would even say that its fairly common for that to happen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omen87:
The way that I'm looking at it, if the phone's data is not irreparably damaged, we are either going to get an ICS leak or a really cool looking ROM so it seems win-win in my book.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
If it were mine, I would check the bootloader, check the recovery partition. see if they are in working order. See if they are different then normal gingerbread stuff. fastboot boot recovery cwr.img, then backup the rom. boot back to stock recovery and try a factory reset to see if i could get the phone to boot again.
