First question if I do a one click root is there anything else I have to do to get clockwork running?
Are there any very detailed instructions or videos on how to root the nexus s? (i want to root an get clockwork running)
After one click root, Download ROM manager from the market, install recovery using ROM manager, then install ROM.
There are detailed instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931865
Thanks alot bro,
Are their any disadvantages to one click root compared to the regular root method?

I found a rom for the NS, based on build GRI40, rooted, deodexed etc, downloaded the zip file and now I have a problem. I'm running stock rom at the moment and from what I've read so far, I should be able to put the zip file on the usb drive, boot into recovery and simply select the new rom.
Is this accurate? Would my phone be rooted after this, even though the bootloader wasn't unlocked prior to this operation? Thanks and sorry for being a noob

You'll have to unlock its bootloader and root your phone prior to flashing a custom ROM

Oh I thought there was a way to get pass the root procedure. Thank you for clearing things up for me.
You don't need root to flash custom roms. Just an unlocked bootloader (and a custom recovery if you flash unsigned roms).

I flashed the stock ICS ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192 but now my phone is no longer rooted.
I tried to follow the old procedure for rooting found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 but the list of HBOOT versions in the revolutionary website do not include my new HBOOT version (1.27.1100).
Any ideas?
1. Wrong forum - should be in Q&A
2. Are you still S-OFF? If so, flash CWM manually and then root again
i think you post to wrong subforum...
but anyway... for now the only way i think is to RUU downgrade but its RISKY to brick your device. if you lost S-OFF look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522351
Sorry for posting to the wrong forum - maybe a mod can move the thread
Anyway, I am S-OFF, with EXT4 recovery.
I tried su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip, it said in installed correctly, but none of my root apps (eg root explorer) work.
I found su-bin-3.0.3.2-d-signed.zip at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and installed it, now root explorer works, and I will start checking my other root apps (e.g. screenshot).
Thanks guys
Is it even possible to brick the sensation I rooted 3 samsung phones for friends and family and bricked all 3 before I got em rooted talk about a pain in the ass those phones suck to work with at least the Odin program works great
Bad news. Root explorer works, but any new root app I install says it needs root to run.
Any ideas?
Use the latest SU package and not an old one not for ICS perhaps?

Can you get root by just installing SuperSU from the play store or do you have to flash something with CWM?
Search for something like 'one click root' in the Development forum. Or go to the top of the dev forum, click on the sticky named '… Compilation' and find the link to the One Click Root thread. Download the One Click Root tool and run it, following the directions, on a Windows computer with the HTC drivers installed. Super simple if you do it right.
You can't run it on 1.85 tho I thought. I was just wondering if after you unlock on 1.85 if you can just download SuperSU to root.
no u need more then that the SU app only controls the SU access , it doesn't make it root
read this tread for one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167
orU can install clockworkmod recovery after u unlocked your bootloader , then u can install cleanrom or nocturnal rom and those are already rooted if u want to go that way
This is my first attempt at rooting. The device is a Nexus S (original edition), I just wanted the warranty to expire before I dabbled in this.
So, which method is the best/most current? I've found a lot of tutorials, but I haven't been keeping up to know what the best one is right now.
I'm also still on Gingerbread. Do I need to update to ICS/JB before I root? I plan on running a custom ROM (CM10) on the phone so I'm guessing I don't need to worry about what version I have when I root?

• Unlock bootloader
• Flash clockwork recovery
• Flash any Rom that you want.
• Flash gapps, enjoy.
That's just a crude way of saying it but you get the idea.

This is basically my preference, too. Make sure you use superuser or supersu (my personal preference) for jb.

You don't need to update to JB to root but in my opinion you need to update to have a better battery life and to have all new features of JB (butter etc) anyway if you want to use CM10 consider that a lot of custom rom already have root by default.
Consider that you don't need to root to flash a rom, you need root to use root app when you already are in android, so if your purpose is just to flash a new rom, follow the seibott indications without think on how to root.
To flash a rom usually you need just to unlock bootloader and flash a costom recovery, anyway you can find a guide in every rom threads.
Anyway if you want a tool that help you to install driver, flash a partition, root, or just use a temporary custom recovery whitout flash if (for example with this toolkit you can unlock your bootloader, restart your phone in temporary cwm or twrp, flash superuser/supersu to root and come back to your custom recovery rooted and without other modifications) you can read these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984858
Consider that this is not a "one click" tool, its a toolkit with a lot of options and features (driver installation tutorial, backup, back to stock, flash a singular partition etc..).
Before learn to use ADB/fastboot commands I started with this toolkit.
Since this your first time rooting i would suggest you use one click root tools..
when i was rooting my phone the first time i tried many of the one click softwares but most of them didn't work.
and finally i got to this forum and found this toolkit ..
here is the link... give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672708

You'll need to ask a better question. What are you trying to do?
Rooting to get superuser access?
Wanting to install a custom ROM?
Installing a rooted custom ROM is pretty simple - grab the ROM, install ODIN, and flash it.
you have to flash cwm recovery using odin
then install the root file from recovery
stock recovery will not work

hi. if you just want to root your phone/tablet and have superuser access, i recommend you use chainfire"s CF-AUTO-ROOT. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957160
it installs supers binary and remains the tab's stock recovery. if you also want to install a custom recovery, just find a cwm file that's compatible with your tab and start flashing it thru odin. i hope i was able to help and if so PLEASE click "THANKS".

I wouldn't say that there are lots of ways wherein you can root your tab. as almost all or all uses ODIN (as ODIN is for Samsung) and the steps are quite a like.
i'm glad that chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT worked on your tab. if ever you wish to install a custom rom, you first need to install a custom recovery on your tab. in my case, I installed CWM.

But my brother told that this will make my device very slow and bad.. plus the warranty will be gone and so it will be of no use of unroot as
that will still let the manufacturer know that my device is rooted and cannot be serviced.. Also its battery will be less.

on the contrary it will speed up your tab. example, if you install CM on your tab. CM is more updated than stock android and CM is also more secure as developers of CM(cyanomodgen) are focused on developing roms that are fast in performance and good in security and another way of speeding up your tab's performance is thru installing apps that makes you control clockspeed, you can overclock and underclock(possible if rooted). plus, rooting can extend your battery life by hours - this is made possible by root apps for battery like greenify, it lets you hibernate all apps that are running in the background thus they wont consume processor time and ram.
about warranty, if ever you flash a custom rom in your tab and want to get back to warranty you just have to flash stock firmware in your tab and install chainfire's triangle away so that you can reset you binary counter to 0 again. rooting is completely reversible.
by the way before I got my tab rooted, I usually charge it everyday but now my battery lasts for 2 days try it for yourself.
PLEASE CLICK "THANKS" IF I HELPED YOU.
Here are your answers:
1. ROOT is not dangerous to your tab. But you will not receive the Samsung Official Firmware via OTA.
You have to download the zip file of the official firmware and then install/flash via ODIN to get your tab updated.
2. Using custom ROM, you will VOID your device.
3. It is highly recommended to install a custom recovery like CMW on your tab before flashing any custom ROM.
4. For battery life it is recommended to use light custom ROM.
5. If you want to use custom ROM then I recommend instal/flash the stable version of ROM because they don't contain bugs or errors.
