Hi guys,
Wanted to ask if it's possible to lock back the bootloader for warranty claims since it was unlocked in the process of rooting the Nexus S & how do I go about doing so for this case? Thanks in advance.
Stan.
fastboot oem lock
FYI, if you've rooted the phone, locking the bootloader won't get rid of the Superuser package that was installed. You'll have to get rid of that too if you're worried they'll check your phone for that.

where do i find a stock rom.img as i didn't get to back that up before rooting my phone.
Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Also don't forget that "rom manager" on the market has stock 2.3.3 on it at the moment also. Should be able to get ota updates after that too.

Can someone point me in the right direction..I need the stock 2.3.4 rom please..searched but don't know which one to download..nexus s on T-Mobile USA..thx in advance..!!!

I don't think there is a full 2.3.4 flashable full ROM. But there is 2.3.3 stock ROM, and if you flash it you will get 2.3.4 update OTA within like 10 minutes.

You have to wipe. You can always reflash recovery if you need to.

So just root again, it takes like 2 minutes. There are several easy guides for root here. Do you need my help or can you follow one of the guides?
I suggest you follow one of the guides and if you have trouble then ask me and I will help you.

I bought an Atrix locally. It has superuser since it was rooted, BUT the seller removed the SD card, so the root isn't working right now.
I tried to upgrade Superuserand I'm not allowed to do so... it says the following: "An error ocurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary"
I already inserted my own SD card, but I don't know what to do in fear of bricking my new phone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
You don't need an SD card to be rooted

Oh, ok to check if your bootloader is unlocked, when you turn on the phone, at the Dual core screean on the top right corner , it should say unlocked, if not there your not unlocked

First you should try and root,(I used this) http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root. But first check of you can uninstall superuser.apk, he probably just downloaded it from the market, but wasn't actually rooted

If motoblur was removed, I would think that the phone was rooted. As far as the errors you were getting, it may have been due to the previous user moving some apps to the micro sd card or they may have been using something like GOD mode. I would download a custom ROM designed for the phone, boot into recovery and install it.
Hope this helps.

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

Root and cwm recovery aren't related.
Uninstalling su.zip with TB is like saying I don't want black, but go on and wipe black with black lol (TB requires root to perform most actions)
Just install a Google full rom (sticky in general section) and lock the bootloader afterwards.

I don't get what you say. Installing a full Android stock rom will delete cwm recovery and add the stock recovery again (as well as restoring the install-recovery.sh again).

I meant that I have to remand the install-recovery.sh back.. so it will delete the recovery.

A full ROM from Google will come with stock recovery, no need to worry about that when using that method.

If your radio is the correct one that came with the version you have installed, why bother.. if not they can see that the bootloader was unlocked just from comparing your device's Android + radio version versus what it would have been via OTA.
