[Q] Need help with rooting... - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to root my new Nexus S following all guide but cant manage it on the SNS... when following the guides it just sits on <Waiting for Device>
Any help appreciated.
Robert

Moved to Q&A

do you have ADB set up correctly?

Well, I followed all the steps, the only thing I couldnt find was the google-usb driver but read online that PDANet done the same thing. Anyone know where I can download the google-usb driver? Incase thats the cause?
Cheers
Robert

[Q] Can't fastboot / No recovery JB

I have an interesting problem:
I have a tf300t curently running JRO03C.ww_epad-10.4.2.17-20121018
I ended up here after an unsuccessful flash with twrp. Tried to recover my back up with no joy. At this time it would only boot twrp recovery, finally flashed stock via micro sdcard and got it to boot again! Only I had no root anymore, so I tried to boot into recovery and there was none. So next I tried to boot into bootloader and when I select fastboot, the tablet says starting "starting fastboot download protocol" but after nothing else happens. ADB looses it, and it just stops right there.
The good news is that I can still use the tablet, it boots and everything works fine but I have no root. I have searched and read and searched and read. I don't know if the reflash flashes the bootloader but that didn't seam to have any effect. If anybody could point me in the right direction I would sure appriciate the help.
there is a way on the TWRP instructions using terminal when you are in system

No when I try to flash recovery it says waiting for device and nothing ever happens.
I seamed to have got it. I down graded to 10.4.2.9 and back to 13. plugged it to the computer and this time it installed drivers and that time I was able to flash recovery. I don't know what happened and it was probably something that I was doing wrong. But just incase that is what did the trick and it helps someone else, i wanted to be sure and follow up.

[Q] I dun messed up, bricked phone. Help please.

So I messed. Accidentally formatted my phone and now it's screwed. Tried to use fastboot to put boot.img on, but my computer won't recognize my phone when I do "fastboot devices" or any commands. It won't boot or anything. I dunno what to do, kinda need a phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded duly.

Sorry, there are signs of life. I can get to the bootloader and recovery. And I honestly clicked the wrong button, that's what happens when you don't sleep and decide to try to flash a new rom.

If you can get to bootloader and recovery, you're not bricked. You just need to flash a new rom, this time remembering to flash the boot.img in fastboot like the instructions say.

If 'fastboot devices' returns nothing, then you are most likely missing drivers. Easiest way to get drivers is install HTC Sync Manager. It will install the app and the drivers, you can safely uninstall the app later and still have the drivers stay installed

reboot to fastboot, but do not select bootloader (it should say "Fastboot" in red writing just underneath the green text and above the orange text.
connect it via usb to your pc, and it should say "fastboot usb", then you should be able to use fastboot commands. if it doen't allow you to use fastboot commands, try a different usb port, or reinstalling the drivers.

go to your recovery and flash the ROM (the boot.img is just the kernel) if you haven't done that.

[Q] Help! problems after instaling twrp 2.7

Ok so today i wanted to root my nexus 5 so i unlocked bootloader via androidSDK slim everything went fine but i did not power up my device yet thet i flash the recovery.img of twrp after that i booted into recovery and for a second it displayed some error i could not see it but it said could not read /e..... or i think so and it reboted itself and started booting android and now i think im stuck in boot loop because its booting up for 10 mins. can someone help me?
So now your Bootloader is unlocked, right?
First boot after unlocking the Bootloader takes time... Wait for 10 more mins and then reboot once again and see whether you can get the OS to bootup...
If you can't, you can either try factory reseting from Bootloader or you can flash a custom recovery and then install a custom rom of your choice.
Or you can also go full stock and start over again by flashing a factory image...

You're supposed to reboot the bootloader before flashing anything.

[Q] How to install custom ROM on stock phone (HBOOT 1.xx/2.xx)

Links are a little bit older but good. Look at forum General and Development category for more stuff.. You must first do a unlock bootloader, then flash custom recovery (newest unofficial TWRP is best), then you can install new ROM which doesn't need S-OFF/superCID after that flash new kernel for it ROM via fastboot. You must looking some thread's on forum, explore the possibilities, find out what and how you can use... I can't say you everything in one word - I don't have such power

I tried all this, but once I get in the bootloader and try to get my "Token ID" or whatever to root it, it just says device not found and that its waiting for device.
Its in USB Debugging mode, and the drivers are fine, its latest drivers and the command to goto bootloader works fine.
Not sure what to do.
I appreciate you taking the time to link me all this though
Just not sure how to do it, I'm probably doing something wrong.
But I got as far as getting to the bootloader.

Then just has instructions, says "BOOTLOADER", Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down as options.
Also, said that driver you linked isn't compatible with my OS.

Now, I'm at Step 3.
Issue is, when I go to recovery, it doesn't actually open ClockWorkMod which is the one I installed. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (6.0.4.8).
It said everything went fine in command prompt, but just boots the device instead of recovery.

Use fastboot & ADB guide for beginners. Download all required files so your PC can Connect to OPO VIA USB from PC. What PC OS do u use? Windows or Linux. Watch how to unlock boot loader, root, & install recovery tool or Return to stock OnePlus one YouTube video. Easiest start. Your phone will be OK. U need to down load drivers so u can use your PC to talk to your phone - pass instruction & activate 1+1 options. Install CM 11 or whatever ROM u want to use, as well as, 1+1 tools u may have lost is Recovery Tool.

You don't need a recovery to unlock the bootloader. Just boot it into fastboot mode, connect it to your Mac, and type 'fastboot oem-unlock' on the Terminal. Be careful, though, because you WILL lose ALL of your data!

Did u find the fastboot & adb tools for Mac?
What happens when u hold volume key up + power button at same time after turning device off?
What happens if u $fastboot devices -
Can u issue cmd "$fastboot oem unlock"
Know its frustrating but have to keep trying till u get in. Just have the rom files unzipped on your Mac ready to flash 1+1 when u get in. Its how I did it. When I wasn't able to but into recovery. Get on fastboot go thru OEM unlock, then flash 1+1. Follow the install script manually. Open script w plain text reader & just issue cmds following script. I don't trust scripts I + automation to get things unstuck.

Use Google, there are plenty of guides available online. Once you have fastboot working the best thing to do is to flash the stock images with fastboot. I have detailed instructions in section 8a of my guide here:

You definitely can't boot into recovery? Most times not being able to get into recovery it's a case of user error. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the OnePlus boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.
