I am at my wits end.
I have tried for the better part of a day to root my i9020A (Android 2.3.4, KD1, GRj22).
Has anyone successfully gained root?
If so, could you point me in the right direction.
PS. I will appreciate help from someone who has actually done this (I9020A).
Thanks.
Is your bootloader unlocked, if so then you have to flash clockwork recovery, by using fastboot mode through sdk android software, through your computure. You can get the recovery file and root file in general forum. In the general forum, there is a guide there as well and you can also go to youtube as well.
It's fairly simple - this applies to all of the versions of the Nexus S:
Boot into bootloader - fastboot oem unlock (this wipes)
Flash custom recovers
Mount /system
flash SU binary through recovery
On reboot the recovery will be overwritten with stock. To prevent this rename / delete /etc/install-recovery.sh

My bootloader is locked.
I cannot get my device to recognize the USB drivers.
I tried both Android SDK & Samsung USB Mobile drivers
I had to use the junefabrics driver. Shabby has a one click that does most of it and provides the adb driver

Problem with the ROM"Official OTA JB 4.1.1 for GSM Nexus S (CWM Flashable) + Extras"
Hello, this is the first topic i write on XDA. I have a huge problem with the ROM called "Official OTA JB 4.1.1 for GSM Nexus S (CWM Flashable) + Extras" uploaded by kibmcz
I have made a mistake, i forgot to install the file for root and now i do not have root, i can not connect my nexus s with the computer and i can not get on my Clockworkmod recovery to change ROM. I don't know what to do. Please help me to change this ROM!
You should still be able to boot into the bootloader (vol up + pwr). You can then flash CWM again via fastboot.

You'll learn a lot more by reading up on it. It's worth your time. Seeing as you've unlocked your bootloader, this should be a cakewalk for you.

Hi All
Now a proud owner of HTC One mini (uk) but am having issues trying to unlock bootloader, root and install custom rom.
for some reason my PC will not recognize my mini in fastboot mode . i have re installed the usb drivers and even tried to connect my wifes HTC one which i have previously rooted ...but it will not connect to either of the two.
I would be grateful if the community could offer a solution or advice, Thanks
oh forgot to say pc running windows 8.1
Edit: I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 on the portal. it has ADB,FASTBOOT and DRIVERS needed . Not tried it myself as reverted to windows 7 however, many users confirming that it works on win 8 & 8.1.
I hope this helps, any thanks is given to the developer "Snoop05" as i am just posting the link.
cheers

Search around to see if you can find a updated version? Let me explain to you how I did it. First, I unlocked my bootloader. Second, I downloaded the twrp and magiorom r3. Third hold shift and right click on the flashboot folder that you downloaded from htcdev and click on the open command window here. Rename you twrp to recovery. If your twrp file says img on it then try recovery.img, if not then type recovery. And on the cmd type flashboot flash recovery.img. Then you go back to bootloader and go to recovery and follow all the steps on the magiorom link. Don't forget to thank me. And btw, I didn't have to download any of those adb files. You root your phone when you have twrp. It'll ask you if you want to root. Say yes!!!!

I recieved my phone from the 9th. december batch, with 4.4.2. pre installed. I tried the root toolkit and the google sdk tool to root the device. I could unlock the phone, but thats it.
Unlock bootloader (which will wipe the phone). Then flash or fastboot into custom recovery, and flash the latest SuperSU (1.80 at the time of this post) zip file. There, now you are rooted.

First thing I did. SSU says there is no file and there is no way to install it. Please read the forum.
Don't use toolkits. Follow one of the guides like the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905
I'm assuming you unlocked the phone with ADB/fastboot so you should be able to push and install custom recovery and flash SuperSU. You can't just download the SuperSU market app and expect it to install. You must flash it from recovery. After that it can be updated from the market but not installed from the market.

Could be your drivers (but since you unlocked you should have the right drivers). Look up one of the driver troubleshooting threads. Make sure you don't see Android Device with a yellow (!) in your device manager. If you do, your drivers are missing. If you connect it and don't see anything at all in device manager see if you can uninstall whatever drivers you had and install the universal driver. There's lots of people who have had driver issues so search the forum.
Hi Guys
Originally unlocked and rooted my nexus 5. Then the OTA update seemed to remove the root. I havent really looked into re-rooting but i need to wipe the device and I thought I may as well do it now. Having issue though
- Device is still unlocked when I go into the bootloader I see its unlocked
- Try to flash a custom recovery and when I follow the steps it goes to red exclamation (Im assuming meaning corrupt custom recovery, probably the old CWM before the OTA)
- Read through forums and they say I need to remove reboot-from-recovery.p file from the /system
- however I cant remove it without root and I cant get root without removing it
Whats the options here?
Thanks

the exclamation point is the stock recovery. once you take in an ota, it removes both root and your custom recovery. to get your custom recovery back so that you can flash a bootloader(and the supersu root binaries). you can flash a custom recovery while youre in your bootloader via fastboot on your desktop.

na, you dont need to delete that to flash a custom recovery(i never have, in my 6 years with android, and all my devices). is fastboot seeing your device? kkdo you see fastboot going through the process of flashing a recovery? if you are typing it right, and fastboot sees your device, you would have flashed a custom recovery. when you connect to fastboot, type.. fastboot devices. if it sees your device, its id number will be shown.

You only posed two..
1. No. You need to unlock the bootloader first, from there you can install a custom recovery.
2. Highly recommended. There are tools nowadays that simplifies the process, but nothing works as best as doing it manually. You'll get to learn more, understand how your phone works, and it's much easier overall for the people at this forum to help you if you encounter a problem, if you understand the terms we use and how things are done.

Just for the sake of accuracy and to be pedantic, fastboot and adb are completely different. fastboot.exe and adb.exe do completely different things. All thats needed unlock the bootloader is fastboot.exe and USB drivers. This can all be done without downloading adb.exe

Turn your phone off, boot into bootloader, then fastboot the recovery image.
Once done, reboot into your new custom recovery, use adb to push the superSU zip to your phone (do not unzip it, leave it as it is), use your custom recovery to locate to the zip, then install it.

You said, "Did you unlock using adb? Then you should be on your way to rooting."
Anyone would interpret this as if your accepting that the bootloader is unlocked with adb. Which isn't correct. In any case, if that's not what you meant, my bad!

You get that error because the twrp file which you're trying to flash isn't in the platform tools folder.
Here are some things you need to check:
1. Have you navigated correctly to the twrp file path in fastboot?
2. Is the twrp file named correctly? if it's recovery.img then the command would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Make sure you have file extensions seen in windows explorer so that you can confirm the file extension.
