I used this method yesterday as soon as I got home with my phone.
It works great.

I can confirm this works perfectly.
Did it yesterday. Took 5minutes and rooted!! So far no problems

yep, superoneclick works. i think you have to use the psneuter exploit though. i read somewhere the rageinthecage doesn't work
Does the infuse have a locked bootloader?
Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
Actually RageInTheCage works fine. I used it to create a Root/Unlock pack that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Howto Root and Unlock Infuse 4g
Just unpack and run the shell script or batch file.
I used Superoneclick yesterday worked like a charm. Just make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed and its a cake walk.
does anyone have a link for the correct drivers? I can't seem to find them.
Nevermind. Found them.

I'm having the same issue on my Windows XP machine. I can't find the drivers. Anyone?
I just downloaded samsung kies.

Agree, really easy with superoneclick.
It went thru first time, unlike my dell streak 5 which i spent lots of time before i was able to root it.
Superoneclick roots infuse on first try, if you have properly installed adb drivers of course
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I installed all the drivers, now its stuck at Pushing psneuter, any ideas?
Now I just get "Waiting for Device" :/ bummer.
Yeah, I am rooted! Took two tries. Had to follow this advice:
If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try this
Unplug your USB Cable
Go to Settings > Applications > Development
Uncheck USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable
Unplug your USB Cable
Check USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable

I think it pretty much does. You'd want to unroot your phone if needed to take it back to the retailer for whatever reason.

And its probably safe to assume to "unroot" has been found. The phone is brand new so that would explain a great deal of it! Keep up the great work!

superoneclick is easy but it is a .exe for windows. im not sure if clshortfuse has a version for mac or linux.
the root/unlock from lost1 works pretty good, what issues are you having with it?
Has anybody been successful? The previous way using one click only works on 2.3.5. Using heimdall is unsuccessful. Im unable to flash cwm recovery using rom manager. All I have is my imac and I'd rather not have to install Odin and files and somebody else's PC. Any help?
I own both a pc and mac but I rooted mine on 2.3.5 using zerg rush and its rooted ever since. I can't be that helpful but you could always use parallels or VMfusion or even bootcamp to install windows on your mac just for the root.
It's not our model but you can check this as a guideline http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU-fm6FOyKo
AFAIK, you have to flash CWM and use it to flash Superuser to root any version of Android higher than 2.3.5, but to do that you need Odin, which only works on Windows.
If Heimdall worked with SR we could use that to flash CWM but it doesn't. I had the same problem on Linux. Good luck!

My buddy recently rooted his phone using VMware Workstation 8. If you're going to go that route, just make sure you attach the USB device to the VM, and disconnect it properly before shutting down the system. Overall it was a fairly painless process. And if memory serves me correctly Workstation has a free 30 day trial.
Solution: rid the mac.

Yea there is nothing for Mac as of yet. I tried heimdall also. Had a connection error and also couldn't find the tar with the .XML file in it. So boot camp virtual box or borrowing a windows computer. Something like that is your only option. I will say its a quick root. Took me less then 30 seconds.

you should borrow a pc , dont use mac espicialy if you are a newb w/comps.
read my sticky in my sig about rooting, its made for newbs, copy the files you need to a usb stick, dont forget the drivers for the phone, there in my first link in my sig in the dl section. then use someones comp

I tried using the method from the link above and after multiple attempts it finally worked. Finally enjoying my O3D without the ghost calls. :good:
Thanks for the help.
i recently tried to install jellybean but the rom did not work on nexus s, i stupidly removed the only working rom from my 'sd' card and now my phone only boots into a black screen, i have tried to put a known working rom on my phone but every pc i try to connect my phone to says the device has malfunctioned and windows cannot install software. i have tried to use adb but that also cannot find my device. am i looking at getting another nexus with a broken screen and using my working screen to gain a decent phone back or am i missing a vital programme that will fix my utter cockup? thanks in advance
Are you familiar with adb? Because unless you have the right drivers, you phone won't be recognized. Also, usually your computer won't notify you when you're connected and able to use adb, you have to start the interaction through cmd.exe. this being said, try adb again to move a rom or backup into your device.
Also, can you boot into fastboot? If so, is there a warning message or anything?

i am only famililar with adb to the point of rooting, i have tried to download the drivers but only can see .dll files in the driver folders no option to install said drivers. i can get into power and vol up if that is fastboot?? the problem been is i installed a rom which was meant for the nexus s and i didnt read all comments and later found out it does not work with the nexus. i now cannot access the sd storage to put a working rom onto it . when i open cmd and type adb shell it says device not found. brains ready to explode right now. any help on adb is greatly appriciated
Fast boot is when you phone is off, you turn it on by pressing volume up+power at the same time. Let me know if there is a warning text in red at the top.
Do you know how to flash factory images? Because you may be able to do that to get a stock os on your phone. It would wipe everything, however. Flashing a factory image doesn't require you to open SD storage. I'd link you to the thread with the tutorial, but I'm on mobile :/ ill post it if i get a chance, i know its floating around in the nexus s android forums

i do not know how to flash factory images, im am very much a noob to rooted phones and playing with software.
i can get into fastboot and at the bottom it says
usb control init
usb control init end
top says fastboot mode
product name herring
hw version rev 11
bootloader version i9020xxka3
baseband version i9020xxkd1
carier info eur
ser 33304eb5103500ec
lock state unlocked
my laptop does not recognise the phone so i dont know how to flash a factory image. this is the cmd sequence i get
adb shell
error device not found
tried mounting sd card and data but no joy
also tried mounting usb storage.
all i get is device has malfunctioned and will not run
tried downloading google usb drivers and samsung drivers all to no avail.
fingers crossed you can tell me something i dont know as i really cant afford to buy a new phone
Well it seems you sdcard isn't dead, which is good! When mine was, fastboot gave me an error.
Now IMO, you should be able to flash a stock recovery image. This will clear everything you have on ur phone, but it should get it back to working condition.
Ill post a tutorial on how to do it tomorrow, that's the soonest i can get on a computer. It is not that hard, and it helps when you're already somewhat familiar with adb. I used to be a noob too, now I'm slightly less noobish!
So as i said, i think i have a solution, ill post how tomorrow, when i have a PC (in on mobile right now).
Cheers, i hope i can fix your phone!

Alright, so this is the guide to install a factory image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
What a factory image will do, is restore your phone completely to a new like state. That being said, you will lose anything you have on the phone (picture, music, etc..). I don't know of any other way to help, so if you're willing to lose everything, but get your phone working, continue reading.
-First, you have to determine what model on Nexus S you have. If you're on AT&T or Rogers, you have an I9020A, and you have to download the "sojua" factory image. If you're on T-mobile, or have the version with an S-LCD display (as opposed to the normal AMOLED), you have to flash the "soju" factory image. If you're not sure what version you have, let me know what carrier you're with.
-Second, download the Factory image corresponding to your phone from the link I posted, as for version, that's up to you, but I recommend 4.1.2 (JB).
-Third, Make sure you have all the right drivers, and the android-sdk installed. You should already have this, since you've use adb before.
-Fourth, follow steps 1,2,3 and 4A in the link I posted above.
Follow these instruction, and if you do not understand them before doing the procedure, just ask a question here! good luck!

still adb cannot find device.......... any links for known drivers for nexus s on win 7 64 bit?
You might need to reinstall the android SDK and drivers, there should be a link in the link i sent you to show how to do that.. If adb still doesn't recognise, your main board might be fried

Damn, if only you could get it recognized you'd probably be able to flash custom recovery through fastboot and I guess you'd be able to install from sd without data loss.
