....-_- i still don't understand what is his problem
you have to install sdk on your computer i guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
it's the hard and long part of rooting. After it's easy and fast.
You can google this or search the Forum =] and make sure you were reading instruction for your device(i9023) and please try to describe the problem that u r having and don't just say it isn't working or it's broken
Have you installed the driver for the Nexus S?
Which guide did you follow? Nexus S Hacks have a great video tutorial I followed.

install a driver for your phone first....
then download the SDK tools....
then from there unlock your phone

First things first, wrong forum to post in.
Secondly, is it (Status 7) error? Do you have cache error in your recovery before you even started to flash?
Okay sorry for wrong Forum. Pls move it .
I cant see which error cause the msdos Windows close immeditly after starting the bat file. And the device is rebooting.

Oh, you can try rooting manually instead of using one click root? It should work that way.
I would try this but there is only a how to for Linux and mac. How to manually root the device with Windows 7?

Hey there guys i have had my nexus s for 2 days and after listening to my friend i decided to root my phone. I am a complete noob at android phones and after rooting, the nexus s rebooted to a locked screen and I dont know what to do from there. It wont let me go through the recovery either. any kind of help would be great.
Could you describe the way you rooted the phone/point us to the guide you followed?
Or could you describe the "locked screen"?
it is just a black screen with the google logo and a lock symbol that i cant click on.
I followed the steps mentioned in the addictive tips site. xda wont let me post the link to the site. This is the title of the post on the site:

What version of gingerbread are you running, 2.3.4? I think superboot only works with 2.3.3 and below.

Some people in the Modaco thread have had the same problem: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-colour-revert-superboot-rooting-the-nexus-s/
What you are going to have to do is flash clockworkmod recovery then flash the full 2.3.4 update. Have a look in the Nexus S part of the forum for the links and instructions
If you are still stuck, you may want to start a thread in the Nexus S forums.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
so i basically went into recovery mode and did a hard reset but now all that shows when i reboot is the google logo. i believe the rom is deleted. is there a good tutorial to install the stock rom 2.3.4? thanks for the reply
You are going to need fastboot working.
You can find everything you need in the Nexus S forums.

hey you only had to downgrad youre device, than root and flash a custom rom.
try it with the kdz update tool (google kdz lg )
but take a different firmware 10.e shoud be ok you can take any version of it.
10e should be ok. i hope i could help you,
No any solution without roms because I heard it may be harmful for the device
I also tried the rooting by DOS and I get
unable to chmod files
and then unable to copy files
Why???
Please I( want solution
What LG stock ROM do you currently have? If it's 10a, then it's one of the hardest to root.
I had 10a, then upgraded to 10d and gingerbreak worked like a charm.

Are you completely stock (never flash anything and never root) or you root the phone and later unroot it? If you have a stock rom without any modification you have just to wait the official OTA if not the link have all information that you need to obtain a complete stock 4.1.2, in it you can find official google rom.
Yes i am completely stock.So currently which are the countries recieving the update?Any clue on how much ae we gonna wait?

If you are completely stock you have only to wait, at the moment nobody have received OTA on Nexus S and nobody know when it will arrive but we can assume that we have to wait only some days...

There is a way to manually update without root and unlock, you have to download your version of OTA from the thread that I suggested you and you have to learn to use adb commands. I personally tested this method on my device and it work.
You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).
With this correctly installed, without any root and unlock, with some terminal commands you can manually update your device, at the end it will be completely stock without ony modifications.
After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:
Connect your phone to your PC.
Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and volume up to enter in recovery mode.
Select "Apply update from ADB".
On your PC copy the OTA from downloaded from the other thread in the folder with the ADB binary (adb.exe) in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).
On your PC open command prompt and go to folder with the ADB binary.
On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)
If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"
At the end reboot and you have a completely stock updatewithout modifications.

A second method that I read is to try to delete your google account and later insert it again and wait sync. I didn't try this, I prefer to learn how to use adb...
Thanks for helpin me out.i cleared data 2 - 3 times before i got the update again.It took me all day to download 15 mb though even after having a hi speed connection.
Thanks for the adb tip.

No problem, for me data clearing didn't worked this time, I didn't want to wait anymore so I decide to use adb!

I root my nexus with 4.4.3 version , after a week I decided to unroot my nexus with "toolkit".
I decides Instead the program will download the file for me, I will download the file from google's site :
after I download the file I click on:
after that I click "ok" to start unroot my nexus .
and after all this I lock my bootloader
so after that I will can to install the updates I will get like version "L"? ?
If you're fully stock then yes.
Please try to avoid using toolkits. Manual process is better.
FYI, can still get updates if rooted.
