Easy way please elaborate
Nice mj0528, way to help a guy. You may also want to check your spelling of Austin.
zombieguy85 , when you boot into your current ROM after the Bubby's one click do you have ROM manager and Superuser in your apps? Does ROM Manager have superuser access when you open it?
If so use it to reflash Clockwork Mod Recovery (the very first option when you open ROM Manager). I would also use ROM Manager to flash your new ROM.
If you have Superuser installed and ROM Manager can't get superuser access then you need to flash the SU fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999 Then reflash Clockwork from ROM Manager.
If none of these matches what you have then you didn't complete the root process and you should start over.
just did what you said im fixing to try again ill let you know

[Q] This is probably a noob question about rooting and the clockwork recovery

Ok this is probably a noob question,
i have a vibrant 2.2 tmobile, i just did the 3e recovery mod so that i could root the phone, i finally got it rooted and Im positive it is (terminal emulator says # when i type su,and superuser is working so Im pretty sure its rooted) so when i go into rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery it always says it works but i cant get into the new recovery only the stock and i cant backup my original rom, does anyone know how to fix this so i can get into clockworkmod recovery?
Im new to rooting so sorry if this is a extremely noob question.

[Solved] Rooting nexus s GT19023 stock ICS 4.04? [/Solved]

Hello to all respected members
i have a problem... i read all threads and tutorials on rooting nexus s GT19023 but still no success ...
i bought this phone yesterday so I'm new to this... hope someone kind will explain the details to me ...
bootloader status says : unlocked
but still no root on 4.04
clockmod recovery is installed... so another question
can i install custom rom using clockmod recovery without root access? if possible, then after installing custom ICS rom it will then be rooted>?
thanks in advance for all those who took time in helping me root ICS 4.04 stock rom... i really need root access on this rom... i hope i can install custom rom with cm recovery then have root with custom rom
since im new to this, please suggest the best rom and kernel to use i'm open to suggestions
thanks
if you want your phone rooted, flash this in CWM:
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
then, in app drawer should has Superuser icon.
In other way, if you flash custom rom, it's already rooted, so you don't have to flash that file above again...
thanks savantist ... i flashed custom rom and its working awesome... rooted + kernel... thanks for the reply thread is solved

Flash CWM from fastboot
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Place the ClockworkMod Recovery Image in the same folder as fastboot (the /tools folder with the Android SDK folder). Power the Nexus S down, and hold Volume Up & the Power button until booted into the bootloader. Connect the Nexus S to the computer via USB. On the computer, open terminal and run:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the Nexus S.
After that boot into recovery using volume up + power button, then selecting recovery. Now in CWM flash
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Reboot and you have root again.
PRAISE the lord! I have been to 7 different sites and followed their instructions to the letter and no ROOT.... I finally found this post and the signed Super user did the trick THANKS SO MUCH!
FINALLY!

[q] i cant open cwm

`i recently reverted my phone (nexus s 4g) to stock 4.0.4 so i could get the 4.1.1 update OTA
i mange to install the root.zip file with the one-click-root program i used to use
but after that when i place roms on my phone and try to install them via clockwork recovery i get an error screen (the android guy with a red triangle). it wont let me go into recovery at all
the phone works fine besides that .
also if i revert back to 4.0.4 stock i can root my phone and open recovery perfectly fine
can anyone tell me what what my problem is ?
and can someone tell me if its even possible to root a stock nexus s 4g running jellybean?
Try pushing another recovery. Make sure to have an unlocked bootloader and then push a new recovery. The red triangle indicates that there is a stock recovery. Go into the Dev section there is a thread with all recoveries

This simply means that you do not have any custom recovery installed, follow this guide by me. If you have any queries, post 'em there :good:

Yes this version of cwm have the bootloop issue.
If you want to fix it flash recovery again or flash your original stock firmware.
