[Q] Trying to root a Nexus S on a mac. Stuck

Hello,
I am new to the world of Androids. I came from a Blackberry Bold. I now have a Nexus S. It is a pretty nice phone. It's laggy and the battery dies too quick, but I can deal. My keyboard stops working while in the horizontal mode and the internet browser doesn't seem to work sometimes. I have to reboot this beast more than I had to reboot any other phone i've owned. I still really like it though, it's so sexy!!
I am using a Mac and I am trying to root my phone using this guide; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878446
Steps 1-6 seemed to work well, but step 7 wants me to select "recovery" while in the "bootloader/fastboot mode". When I select it, I am left with the little green android man with an exclamation mark in a triangle over his head.
Any help moving forward would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to learn and understand how all of this works but I am struggling quite a bit. I feel old!
Phone Facts:
Nexus S
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9020AUCKB2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-g1d030a7
[email protected]#1
Build number: GRI54
Again, thanks for any help.

Anyone have any idea?

Ok, so I am a tiny bit farther than I was this morning!! haha
I am using the newest version of recovery clockwork, but when I try to run it, it says this;
-bash: /Users/george/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img: Permission denied
Anyone have any idea what to do??

A couple of pointers.
First, check if you moved the img to the adb-fastboot folder. As it says in the guide it should be in the tools folder.
~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/fastboot flash recovery ~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img
Second, try running the command as "sudo" if you have permissions problems. Otherwise you may have to use chmod, but by the sounds of it you might not be ready for that...
Finally, and maybe most important, give superboot a shot. If you've already unlocked the bootloader its essentially a one-click root solution. Its discussed at the top of the guide you posted a link to.
Let us know how it works out for you.
FYI: for future use (and other users) too, when you select recovery and the android has an exclamation mark, hold power and press the volume up to go into the stock recovery.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am at work so I can't give your suggestions a try. I was going to try that Superboot root method but it says it is only for the GRH78C for 2.3.2. I have the GRI54 with 2.3.3. Is this going to make a difference?

[Q] Reset Back from Cyanogenmod to Galaxy

Hello, I post my problem here, because i'm new in this forum, and i can't post y Galaxy Ace forum.

I'm from Chile and some words that u use i really don't understand. I someone can help me I'll be very grateful, maybe an the most basic explanation possible.
Cheers.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
I just got hold of the ICS ROM for a day but I am thinking of going back to gingerbread since it drains my battery faster than before and the functions are a little bit confusing and I am looking for familiar things that I like before on gingerbread but can't find 'em like the task killer, my files option and the sim card option. also it is very slow on booting up like the kernel glitch will show for a minute then the android icon for another minute.

Welcome to xda y'all
Yes u can
Follow these instructions
- download a gingerbread rom for ur galaxy ace
- restart ur phone with power + volume down + menu button pressed
- you'll see a screen with small text. This is called recovery

[Q] Am I rooted or unlocked??

Sent my phone to Square Trade before I got the 4.0.4 update (was previously on 4.0.2 with T-Mobile). They put a new "main circuit board" in my phone (sent it in for power button inop).
Well when I got my phone back the first thing I noticed was an "unlocked lock" symbol during boot up. Then I found that that it was updated to 4.0.4 and in my app drawer the Superuser app (which I updated to v3.0.7 (41)) is present.....
Here is the specs under the "about phone" section in Settings:
Build number: IMM76D
Baseband version: I9020XXKI1
Kernel version:
3.0.8-g6656123
[email protected] #1
Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012
I've never rooted before -so I don't know how to confirm that I am. However I noticed that in the Superuser app, when I go to check for updates it says that my installed version is LEGACY -and it says a new version of SU BINARY was found. When I tap on "update" it says: CHECKING FOR BUSY BOX... NOT FOUND, and then GAINING ROOT ACCES... FAIL!
Also when attempting to try out Droid Wall and Adblock they both say that I am not rooted.
Does this mean that I am not rooted?? -even though that "unlocked lock" symbol is present at start up??
If they rooted my phone wrong, what can I do to root it correctly??
-and-
How to I return to stock un-rooted 4.0.4 if I ever need to??
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

The unlocked symbol when you start up your phone (under the Google logo, right?) just means your bootloader is unlocked, which is the first step in actually rooting the phone.
As for Superuser, even non-rooted phones can install it from the Market/Play Store (like you have), doesn't necessarily mean you're rooted.
Did you install Superuser or did they put it on the phone?

They put it on my phone. I just updated it from the Play Store when I was putting all my apps back on my phone.

Maybe they just wanted to see whether or not you were rooted?

So I can go ahead and follow the "how to root i9020T" guide under the stickied General section of this Nexus S forum? ....and I should be ok?
I figure that if my bootloader is already unlocked I might as well go all the way and finally root this phone, right? That or lock it up again.
My main concern is since I didn't know where they left of, I wasn't sure where to begin/pick back up in finishing the root process.
If I follow the guide from the top I should be safe though, right?

if you already have a custom recovery, just flash any of the custom roms(or kernels) and youll have root. if not, flash a custom recovery then a custom rom(or kernel). all the custom roms come with su binaries. yea, its that easy.

So I'm not sure if they put custom recovery on my phone.... how can I tell??

ha! dead android, lol.
youll need to flash a recovery via fastboot(probably clockworkmod recovery).

Ok.... flashing recovery is ALWAYS where I get lost when I read up on rooting.
Could you/someone point me in the right direction please?? (via instructions or a link to some GOOD & CURRENT instructions and files).
Can I just follow instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545 and start from the top -so that I get a feel of how to do this from the beginning????
-and if I follow the instructions from this post, will I still be running 4.0.4??
This dead android really concerns me a bit!!

That guide is perfect. If you use, it will install a custom recovery on your phone, which can then be USED to install 4.0.4 on your phone again. If you don't really want root access, I'd stay where you are right now.
Anyhow, if you DO decide to follow the guide, you can skip the part where it says to type "fastboot oem unlock" (beginning of part 2) because that command unlocks the bootloader, and your phone already has an unlocked bootloader (shown bythe unlocked lock you see when you turn your phone on).

OK.... so I'm following the guide, BUT when I go to "update driver software" I point it to where I downloaded the "android-sdk_r13-windows.zip" file, but it won't let me select it. I also tried extracting the file directly onto my C:\ drive, but it won't let me select it there either.
What am I missing here??
(running Windows XP 32 bit, by the way)

Do you have either WinZip, Winrar, or 7-zip installed on your computer? You need them to extract the file, which will give you a folder. Point the driver installer to that folder after you've extracted it

Well I got the file extracted just fine. Problem is that when it won't let me select ANYTHING when I try to update the driver (the "OK" is dulled out when I point it to where I extracted the file to).
BTW, at the current state, next to "Android 1.0" in my Device Manager it shows a yellow "question mark & exclamation mark", and it is a sub of "other devices" (with a yellow "question mark" next to that as well).
Did I miss a step????

Try picking just the folder where the extracted folder is, that might work. As for the yellow exclamation mark, it's normal. That's what the drivers you install are going to fix

Still won't let me chose anything.....
One thing I noticed is that in the instructions it says to point it to "(..\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver)" .....but I don't have anything that says "\google-usb_driver" at the end of the file name. I only have "android-sdk-windows" -even after I extracted the file.
All I have inside the "android-sdk-windows" folder are: add-ons, platforms, tools, SDK Manager, and SDK Readme. None of them have anything that say "google-usb_driver" in them.
Where do I find this "google-usb_driver"??

Scroll down on this page
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Actually, it might be easier to try this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589251

Hmmm... that one-click root method looks awesome, but since it was only uploaded yesterday I'm a little bit weary of it.
I tried to get that google-usb_driver, but with the sdk r13 it won't let me unless I update to r17. I'm thinking of just going to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and getting the latest sdk r17 exe file & trying to go from there. Only concern is that on the guide here on xda it says "from sdk r14 forward Google removed the fastboot command so I'd have to make the fastboot command myself" -will this be an issue or is that easily done??
(I seriously can't believe I'm running into wall after wall with this.
I REALLY appreciate all the help thus far, by the way)

nexus s i9020A JB update, help a doctor out

Hi all, I apologize since I am pretty sure this has been covered elsewhere, however I am a physician who took the plunge into the Android world and have been very happy. HOwever, Google has been letting me down with the updates and I am not so super tech-savvy as to do any kind of rooting of my device. I want to upgrade my Nexus S 2.3.4 (ATT model) to ICS or JB or both and tried to follow the directions at this website by erik thauvin (steps below)
I have been unsuccessful so far and was hoping maybe that I was just missing a step in between or maybe there was another way to force-update without having to delete my entire phone (I have many contacts on there I need for work). Any help would be most appreciated!
THese are the steps he outlines at that website:
Power off.
Remove the SIM.
Power on.
Turn on Wi-Fi and connect to your network (if not connected already).
Go to the System settings.
In Language & input change the language to English (United Kingdom).
In Apps select the ALL tab.
Find and open the Google Services Framework.
Tap on the Clear data button and confirm.
Reboot.
Go to the System settings.
Select About phone.
Select Software update.
The package should be downloading, wait...
Once the package is verified, you'll be offered an option to restart and install. Don't!
Turn Airplane mode on by pressing and holding the Power button.
Now, select the Restart & Install button.
Am I supposed to put the SD card back in, or are my widgets or apps holding up the process by slowing down reboot? Any advice?

Yes put your Sim card back in then go into settings about phone system update & press check now it should update you to ice cream sandwich then after you update to that you should be able to jellybean
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Your simcard can be left out until your phone is ready, it is not doing anything. Follow the steps and you'll succeed. Just keep pressing check update until it appears.
As for your contacts, they are synced to your Gmail account so you'll not lose them if your phone gets wiped
Sent from my Nexus S

When I rooted my phone or flashed a ROM. I signed back into my Gmail Account and my contacts returned. Make sure you sync your contact book with your gmail account. Check your gmail and make sure they are synced.
Also my applications that I previously had, returned as well.
As for rooting your device, while reading a text-format guide. You might benefit from watching a video, to be sure you're doing the correct thing. There should be a video out there for your device, it's quite or (was) a popular device.
Good luck, man.
Edit: I'm sorry, if you're not rooting your device, try to look around for a video guide anyway.

He didn't want to root. Even though now a days its just one mouse click and it's finished

Thanks so much for the helpful tips, but I keep running through the steps and all I get is my system update telling me that it is "currently up to date"? I have 2.3.4 so I do not have a "check now" button available on that screen. I am just not sure what I am doing wrong as I am following all the steps as they are written and even trying to do them quickly (or as quickly as possible). Any ideas? Thanks again for all the helpful advice!

Can I suggest you root your phone and flash a custom rom? If you'd be interested I can get the good links for you to finally get you phone rooted!

Yes. I was going to suggest you root your phone and flash a stock jellybean rom or something.

No need to root - just do a "fastboot oem unlock"
You won't be able to "update" with AT&T - they don't acknowledge the Nexus S.
You have to get your computer to see your nexus phone as a device when it is in boot loader mode. The drivers for this may be here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53
To get "Fastboot" working, you won't have to download and install the entire Android dev kit... I think I got mine working with a couple dll files.
Once you can run (from a dos prompt): fastboot oem unlock you are good to go with an upgrade procedure
You are ready to upgrade to JellyBean. Don't even bother with ICS, as there are many fixes in JB that are SO worth it. Get a stock rom for the I9020A, and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Huawei Honor U8860 Android Screw Up

Hi Guys.
I'm at my wit's end with a new Huawei Honor I received for Christmas. It comes with Gingerbread 2.3.6 preloaded but you can upgrade to ICS 4.0.3. It's my first android phone so I didn't really know what I was doing but I decided I'd upgrade.
It said I could upgrade my phone up to ICS 4.0.3 from Gingerbread 2.3.6 so I was keen as it seemed like the obvious choice. I didn't download any custom ROM or anything like that, nor did I root the phone because
A) I didn't know how
and
B) I didn't want to make a bollocks of my first smartphone 2 days after getting it.
I was also wary about where I got these upgrades from and so only used upgrade files from the official Huawei site. First off I tried using the ICS upgrade offered on the Huawei website for my phone.
That's where I ran into problems. Every update (bar the wrong one, in keeping with my luck) gets to about 25% (There's no percentage bar, only a pink line) and says update failed and I have no choice other than to take out the battery and restart the phone. It doesn't do the phone any damage but it doesn't update either.
The update that actually worked is for a non-camera version of my phone that I didn't even know existed. I must have mixed up the two while downloading. That explains why the camera doesn't work but I don't know why my contacts deleted (Backed up prior to upgrade) or my cellular internet service is completely gone.
I tried downgrading back to 2.3.6 with the official Huawei file again but ran into the same UPDATE FAILED! problems as with the installation of the correct ICS file.
Downloading process was;
(1) Downloading the file to my computer
(2) Unzipping it
(3) Transferring across to the phone by USB into a folder entitled "dload"
(4) Going into Settings > Storage > Software Upgrade > SD Card Upgrade
The phone then restarts before getting to around 25% complete and inevitably failing.
I just want it back working on Gingerbread. If it can work on ICS then great I'm not too pushed. I just want to be able to take photos and tweet/check football scores on the go again. I'd like my contacts back too but I'd say that's a lost cause at this stage. Just annoyed that I made such a mess of it trying to upgrade when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place.
I tried linking to the download files but as a new user I can't external link. All the files are the U8860 files from huawei device dot com though.
Any help you guys and gals could give me would be very much appreciated.

I think you'll have to use this downgrade patch first, before you can go back to gingerbread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33000395&highlight=b930+downgrade#post33000395
after you download the upgrade patch, its just the same as installing any other firmware.
1) copy the dload folder to sd card
2) go to settings and disable fast boot
3) shut down phone
4) start the phone while holding the + and - and power button at the same time
if you did all this, then normally you'll get a screen that says firmware upgrade. If this is finished, download the official gingerbread rom or ice cream sandwich rom from the huawei device site, and do the process all over again.
and if you really want ice cream sandwich, I recommend to follow this after you have your gingerbread working again:

Thank you very much. I could really have used you last night. Unfortunately I followed the advice of someone else who seemed like they knew what they were talking about on a different forum. I rooted the phone and was told to replace a file in the image folder to get cwm. I did everything he said to and now I can only access pink screen although my device is not recognized on the computer despite downloading the abd drivers. I get an error message reading "Image signature verify fail" A similar problem has come up a few times on a couple of different forums on here but none of the solutions suggested have worked for me.
I know that ye lads are developers not a free help service but everyone on the other forums suggested I ask here as you guys mess around with mod ROMs so much getting back to stock would be child's play.
Basically now I'm stuck with:
A rooted Huawei U8860
An "Image signature verify fail" warning
ICS software that is for a slightly different make to mine causing bugs
Access only to pink screen
No recovery mode
A phone that is not recognised when connected to my computer by USB in pink screen mode
I've tried searching a good few terms such as "Huawei U8860 firmware update fail" "ABD not recognised by PC" "Huawei Honor ABD files" all of which have brought me no joy.
Like I said I know yous like modifying ROMs and not helping Android noobs who can't even read what they're downloading but I'm really stuck here. The closest place to my house that is certified to fix Huawei phones is a good 20+ miles away and they want €30 with no guarantee they'll be able to fix it. I'm a music student I just can't afford it. Thank you again and hopefully you can help me a bit further with this nightmare. It's been like this since a couple of days after Christmas.

hmm, I think I can help you with that.
you'll need an SD card reader, but basically every laptop has one nowadays. so, if you can access your SD card on the pc,
1)put the dload folder of the ICS non-camera version you used on the SD card
2)then put it back in the phone
3)hold the + and - volume buttons and power button in until the firmware installation starts
if that worked, you'll be able to do the steps I said earlier to go back to gingerbread.
good luck!
