I have one on the way, and want to root at minimum, and may want to try some ROMs. However, I want to have a stock ROM to go back to in case of warranty needs.
I can only find one for UK.
Just checking to see if anyone has any idea if there is one out there somewhere for US. Yes, I did search, but as noted, only find one for UK version.

Hi,
Had nexus s for about 2 weeks. Best phone I've ever had, but I'm thinking of rooting it. I've done loads of reading about rooting and been trying out the initial steps. I had a struggle getting the drivers installed, but using the pdanet workaround which I found on this forum (thanks to the op of that thread), I now have the option to go ahead with oem fastboot unlock. I haven't done it yet as I still have questions, and I've been searching all over the place for answers but I'm still not too clear, so had to post.
--------------
I want to root as I am sick of the phone resetting my ringtones and google don't seem to be responding to this bug. I know that if i root it I can copy my ringtones over into the system ringtone folder and get rid of the problem.
Also fancy installing cyanogen mod once they come up with one for nexus s.
--------------
Can I definitely get the phone back to stock if I need to. I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884097 and it looks like I can, but some posters said some things that make me wonder?
I've read that the nexus s can't really be bricked because of the recovery that is hardwired on the phone. Is that true? It was expensive and I don't want to brick it. Bricked an n95 a while back and that was depressing.
Can i get superuser access without installing a custom rom. I'd be quite happy if I could just get superuser accesss (or just be able to copy over to system ringtones folder) and the OS would stay the same.
Do I need a custom recovery. I downloaded one from xda after a bit of searching, but is it needed.
Sorry about all the noob questions - but you are always a noob sometime
Hope somebody can advise.
Cheers

Thanks for your post. It's too late now anyway. I rooted the thing and I am glad I did. No problems so far that I have found, and I got the poxy ringtones problem solved.
For anybody else that finds themselves in my complete noob position, I found this tutorial the most comprehensive - http://completeandroid.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/complete-guide-to-rooting-the-nexus-s/ .
Maybe not too late if you need to go back to stock for warranty purposs though eh?! ;-)

Lol that's sort of how it goes. You can check out the development section for some guides on just how to return to stock. If you can't find the links check the stickied thread about roms themes and kernels

That's not a stock RUU, that's a modified build by ATTN1. It is not signed so it will only work on a S-OFF device.
To be honest, searching here sucks. I sure couldn't find it. The latest full RUU for the Inspire signed from HTC should be (it will need the OTA update to be complete and up-to-date):
RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe
but good luck finding it.

Thanks for finding that; I've added a bookmark. I searched for that exact name and got 13 pages of hits and after dredging through all 13 pages, I did not find that search term at all. I really don't understand the logic of search engines sometimes.
Edit: weird: when I paste that text, it inserts a space between the 2 and 6 and it appears that this happened in the link you posted too. Maybe that's why I couldn't find an exact match.
Test text-paste: RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe
Edit 2: it did it again.

TBH I don't use the search here either. But I use google and finish my search term with xda. It tends to do a lot better than the search here
Just flash the shipped stock one and manually check for the update. Thats what i did returning my phone to stock to take to ATT for a replacement.

There's no phobia, it's more of a angry frustration when you type one very specific word into the search box and get 10 pages of "hits" that have absolutely zero relevance. The Bing commercials you see pretty much hit the nail on the head; however, they're no better at solving the problem.
I'm still wondering why XDA splits long words automatically; this surely contributes to the problem when searching for a specific ROM or other long-named file.
I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?

Yeah doing these kind of posts will get you just yelled at :S so don't but if you want an opinion on what you would like based on what you want try the Nocturnal MergeX. Though still customisable, Nocturnal is designed to work out of the box with little effort, making it a good choice for those who would rather leave most of the effort to the experts.
So give it a try

It's not just you, a lot of people do it. It just drives some of us more experienced members crazy to see the same question over and over again, that it brings a little anger out of us.
To answer your question, to start things off it's a matter of if you prefer AOSP or Sense.

This stuff is surprisingly hard to find. Anybody have that boot.img? I'm trying to flash the engKernel and I want to make sure I have something to go back to first. Playing with no-knox root methods which are flying around.
Going off of what I read from another comment somewhere on another thread,
you can download your firmware version and extract the boot.img from it and flash it back.
Hoping for someone to shine some light on this.
Ah. Yeah I was thinking that I would be able to do that. But where would I download my stock firmware version from? Appologies if this is public knowledge, I usually find it downright impossible to find stuff on XDA
