when i got my phone it was on 2.3.4 and i followd this guide
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/
Thank you for your Reply.. But the guides is all about 2.3.3, I am just afraid that ill brick my phone if i mess up something.
So can i just ignore the 2.3.3 part..and just think tht its the guide for 2.3.4?
I followed this guide:

The root process for the nexus s is universal. It doesn't matter what version you're running on. What matters is your phone model.

I have a nexus S and need help rooting it. Ive tried using search but iam always missing one piece of information like Build number or android version or model number. So i come to everyone on the board for help.
I have Nexus S i 9020t, android version 2.3.3, baseband i9020xxkb3, build number gri54. I will be using a mac to do the rooting. What information do i need from my phone to root it? Is there a guide out there with my specs?
thx for the help everyone!!!
So you are now rooted? If you still haven't done it, I remember there's a thread in the development section explaining the steps for rooting under Mac.

In this case what can be done?
Hey I am desperately looking to find how to downgrade my nexus s from the terrible ICS version back to Gingerbread.. I have already tried to flash into 2.3.6 and 2.3.4 using rom manager but got an "installation aborted" response.. I have read here that I can also do it using Odin but couldn't find enough info to understand how to do it. Plus, I am a MAC user but in case there is no solution for it using mac Ill love to get some directions for Windows users.. Any kind of help would be appreciated..
Thanks

use this thread and download correct version for your phone model then flash through cwm. make sure you download full rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
I already tried it but just to be sure l downloaded to right one.. Lets say I want to get any version of gingerbread(2.3 to 2.3.6) so which version I need to download?
this is my phone info
model number: nexus s
android version : 4.0.3
basband version: I9020XXKI1
Karnal version: 3.0.8-gb55e9ac
[email protected]#1
build numberIML74K
Thank you very much!
just like what sean1984 told you, choose your correct full rom phone version from that link
in your case is "basband version: I9020"
worse case scenario search for Odin topic
and you can use Odin to go back to stock
thank you guys for the help.. I tried to use worldclockmode with many rom versions and still unsuccessful... I think Odin is my answer.. Can someone give me direction on how to use it and whiere to get it.. I apologize I REALLY need help.. Thank you very much!!
odin doesnt work nexus s!
if you are stock then you might have to root

Hi,
Yes there is a CM 9/10 for the phone. I have actually installed CM9 on my phone. I wouldn't advise using CM10 yet because some bugs are still being worked out but i'm not discouraging you from trying =). To install it here are the instructions:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
That website has everything you need. Also if anything goes wrong there is a method to restore the original firmware. If you need any more help reply and i'll help out =)
Best of Luck!
hahahaha to lazy to search
argh. here is the method ur about to request/Q.1 answer : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1
Q.1 follow the link that i gave it to you and it will give you not just root but a kernel and BML roms installation guide
Q.2 installing CWM to latest? ahm idunno about it? "I" its possible but twrp is possible ..
Q.3 we dont have stable cyanoge. but barebone i (think that is the name) a gingerbread BML? roms that, that is stable..
And if you're worried about it since it's not your phone, you can at least get to official GB through Kies without voiding the warranty... if you're doing stuff from here you can be sure that the warranty is shot. The Kies one you get straight from T-Mo or Samsung, so if it hoses (and the phone is still under replacement protection) they should cover it. Here... it's more complicated.
the TRUTH is im AFRAID to MOD her phone because its not mine and i dont know what correct files
should i use please help me guys!!
The other option is to have someone do it for you. I soft bricked my phone so I sent it to MobileTechVideos. They fixed it and installed a new ROM for me. Rooting and ROM service is $30. The repair service + new ROM is $60. Make certain that you specify which ROM version you want. No affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Good luck.
I would also wonder does your aunt need a special ROM on the phone? Is this her first smart phone? If so I would just root it and remove all the bloat apps with titanium backup and the phone would be tip top with amazing battery life. Find out what she needs in a phone before installing the ROMs because some features may not work.
I would check for software updates as well because it should be at 2.3 so you can just run it rooted with 2.3 and its a great phone. I ran it like that for quite awhile.

thanks for those who replied i just updated her phone to 2.3 and rooted it plus i removed the bloated apps (just like i did when i got my 1st smart phone hehe!) :angel:
