so.. i bought my nexus s 4g today, it will be here in a little over a week. do you guys think we will have full root access and maybe a stock rom that we can tweak by then?
i assume clockwork will be the recovery we will need to use? sorta excited here.
all i need is a stock rooted rom and a custom kernel with sbc and ill take care of the themeing.
we also are going to need a cdma section on here for the nexus s.
Excited huh?
Assuming existing CWM recovery works, all you have to do to root is use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery, then in CWM flash the SuperUser zip. That's it!
SBC is an HTC thing. You won't find it around here.
Get your Android SDK ready now, and you be rooted within 10 minutes of getting the phone!

actually i was hoping some new nexus s 2.3.4 owner might be able to tell me if gingerbreak.apk works on 2.3.4, because if that works then its perfect for people just looking for root...

like i said we will need a cdma section here for rooting & flashing the recovery/roms.
i hope we get some decent devs for the phone as well. i see netarch makes some kernels for gsm.

hello, I'm considering putting CM 7 on wifes phone. MY does not have an "update"package which would receive an OTA. Will a custom ROM inhibit this rather remote possibility. I think if this phone ever gets an update it will be via a computer update program and not OTA.

Yes it will block ota's. It will never have 2.3 unless you put cm-7 on there it seems.

The CM 7 vs Stock ROM for activation.
The CM 7 ROMS do not do activation/ provisioning right? One has to go to Stock to do that?.
Thanks

You are correct. That's a good reason to always have a stock ROM (or backup) at least on standby if necessary.
I find stock ROM easy to backup and restore, the problem for me is the recovery. I'd like to be able to backup my recovery and make a flash able zip.just don't know how to.
Sent from my LG-VM670 using Tapatalk
You mean, the recovery you boot into? There should be no reason for you to change it very much.. Although didn't b_randon14 manage it? I don't think it's possible, as up until this point I've never seen a flashable Recovery.
I recommend miui for MT. It works really well. And lasts me about all day. I'm using the 10/28 update

So the question is in the title. Will the update brick or indoor my phone? If I wanted to install a rooted version does anyone know of a working mirror?
Thanks in advance.

From all the threads in general, it would seem the update does unroot your phone. Also from those threads it would seem flashing a custom recovery and, subsequently, the su zip will give you root back. I don't know of a pre-rooted version out yet.
i just upgraded to ics a little while ago using rom manager, i had to go back to stock 2.3.3 which unrooted my phone but did not lock the phone . I was wondering the same thing and that is how the heck do i root my phone now lol. my phone still shows the unlocked lock on the boot up screen under "Google" but i dont have SU permissions anymore. if I still have su.zip file and cwm can i just use fastboot and flash the img and su.zip ?
What if I don't have my original files to roll back to stock GB? I just downloaded the version Koush put up on his twitter...will that allow me to flash in CWM and update?

Download stock images from from manager then update to 2.3.6 then you can flash the one from koush's twitter.
Root will be lost after update. Currently flashing su.zip wont work. Still trying to figure it out.

We might just have to re*root when they release the info.

Let me ask you also, I'm currently running Alpha13 w/ Francisco.Franco kernel. Is the official that much smoother that I should lose my root?

I had rooted the atrix 2 on the old android. Worked flawlessly.
Now the phone has an update and I thought this was ICS - must be too good to be true. In the mean time my phone lost its root. Not a problem.
I just want to know how do I get my stock atrix boot animation back on the atrix 2 since I can not use rom toolbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any help in the next 24hrs would be great. I want to return this phone to the store and go to verizon before my 30 days is up and I am locked in the contract. I want to get out and get in verizon's double data deal.

You would have to revert back to 2.3.5, by flashing the fkz. Then you would have to reapply root and push the stock bootanimation to /system/media/. This will not work in 2.3.6 because you cannot mount system as rw w/o root.
Read the nOOb section, flash your phone with the modified fxz.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Here's the noob thread. (not saying that to be demeaning- it's just what it's called ) Scroll down to "how to flash a fxz". Make sure you also follow the directions directly under it about flashing the fxz after you install the OTA update.
Thanks for all your help in pointing me in the right direction.

Hello I have gingerbread, but I bought it used and the guy had it rooted. So now the phone is always trying to update to ics but it can't because its rooted. All these popup messages are getting really annoying. So I just want to either update to ics or get a custom rom. Idk which one is better and I have no idea how to do either. Please help, thanks.
You should get rommanager and flash cwm recovery. Then donwload a ota that can be flashed with cwm and flash it. After that download the superuser zip to gain root again, flash it and you are set.
Good luck.

If you're happy with stock and dont need root, why not try to flash the stock JellyBean ROM?
if i do this, will it wipe everything off of my phone?

Yes it will wipe everything (apps, data) but NOT your sd card. If you have titanium Backup use that, I but I'm guessing you don't. The OP does say that it will wipe your phone also.

Just to be clear, if your gs3 has the official 4.3 on it, you CANNOT unlock the bootloader. You WILL brick your phone if you try.
Safer not to mess with it at this point imho

I have just received a replacement phone. I have gone about the ways I rooted previously and none of them are working. This did NOT come with 4.3 from the factory, and the 4.3 update is not installed. I reverted back to stock from android recovery, so 4.0.4 is on there right now. But no matter what I do, whether it's the one click method, the GS3 toolkit format, or manually trying to gain root through recovery, nothing works. On the "downloading" screen that you need during use of ODIN, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL", and it'll either have "boot" after it, or "kernel". Anyone have any ideas? As of this moment I have no working phone. Looking for some help asap. Thank you guys.

Try to Odin flash factory 4.1.2 and see if the secure check turn to "enabled". If it's then try to root again.
I just Odin flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM actually. It's booting up normally now. It honestly seems like they added a layer of protection on the newly distributed handsets. I will try to go through the normal 1 click method again and see if that works. How would I check if the secure check is still enabled?
Actually, no, it's still 4.0.4 but I'm going to try the same thing just with a different 1 click method.
Looks like the really old way worked. With the ez-unlock and ez-recovery. I had to completely demolish what was there when it was sent to me, though. So anyone who gets a replacement, the best bet is to flash a fresh 4.1.2 ROM or 4.0.4 ROM immediately, boot back up and go from there.
