Nexus S root without a PC - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason the computers cannot load the drivers successfully after I connect via USB.
I rolled back on a stock rom and have lost SU and CWM.
I searched around but couldn't find any way of rooting, loading SU and CWM from phone itself.
Help me out on this or how can I fix my USB issue?

Now conect your phone with PC and navigate into Device Manager and click right on ( Android phone or Nexus S , find something that you have linked to android or nexus ) and choose update driver software -> and now choose Browse my computer for driver software and choose Nexus_S_Drivers_x86_x64 and OK....Good luck !

I'll give it a shot. I have tried plugging different cables and tried different PC's.
I just get a message pop up saying driver was not installed successfully.
This may be a issue with USB port of phone. Just a guess right now.

In device Manager it is listed as an unknown device. When I try to update the drivers, it simply says my drivers are up to date.
I have another (New) instance of windows and same result on both.

Tomorrow I'll show you how you can root directaly on the phone because it's a long story...

I'll wait. So far I have the terminal app on phone. phone state is unlocked but no SU and Stock recovery. Via stock recovery I dunno how to flash SU..
Once I have SU I can use Rom manager
I downgraded to get ICS OTA. They stopped OTA at the moment.

Solved
I couldn't stop laughing... a stupid step made it work
First I thought it is a hardware issue and took it to Samsung Servce center. The guy replaced my USB port. My phone was out of warranty and he asked for $12 USD.
Bad luck, even changing the port didn't work. The same issue. Guy didn't bill me as issue still remained. He suggested to change some IC / chip. Which didn't go down well with me and I took phone with me.
While my phone was connected to PC, it used to pop up device not compatile message everytime the screen sleeps or waked up. So in 'Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake' I checked the box.
It worked like a charm, I have notification on the phone, able to access it on PC.
Three words---- LOL
Thanks to those who tried to help.

Do you mean that you can't even enter the CWM? That's terrible.
You may try that continuously. If it still doesn't work, go to Samsung's official websites to find some Help Docs. Or, go to some forums that discuss topics exclusively about your phone model. Good luck!

Galaxy S3 on 4.3 with Samsung Custom

I have rooted many phones but DO NOT consider myself an expert in any way but after countless hours on the search, I am just STUCK And seriously frustrated. Here is my complicated story.
I was rooted but without a custom ROM. In the progress upgraded to 4.3 OTA. Since then my phone has been on the decline...the WI-FI does not turn on, the GPS is erratic, and now I cannot connect via USB to anything.
I have done everything imaginable and suggested to my PC (WIN8) as well as the phone. I cannot connect via ODIN nor KIES as I cannot get the USB to work.
In ODIN Mode I have:
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enable
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
I would prefer to downgrade although I have read this is not an option at this point.
to have functional Wi-Fi and USB connectivity would be great to have again.
Please help!!!
Is my phone considered to be SOFT-Bricked?
Try a new cable and/or a different USB port.
Also kies3 is required. The old kies will not connect to any 4.3 or higher android device. Make sure you have the latest drivers as well

Also make sure you have USB debugging on. Go to settings and about phone. Tap on the version several timea and it will bring out the developer options.

Go on kies make sure your phone in UNplugged then click connection trouble shoot. Same thing was happening to me on windows 8 so I temporarily went back to 7. It looks like the drivers get messed up if you go from lets say the download mode drivers to the normal drivers. It seemed like every time before I connected my phone I had to do that.

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.
I have tried three different cables, installed Kies 3, two different computer and multiple ports on both systems with all the phone settings as suggested. I now get the following message when connected to the USB cable: USB Device not recognized. Device malfunctioned and Windows (8) does not recognize it. I have removed all software, reinstalled phone drivers.
Sooo frustrating!

Why do you want to connect to kies? It has 4.1.2 it will always fail the flash for us 4.3 people. Use the Verizon updater or odin. Just a fyi kies will never say it recognizes the phone in downloadmode.

My problem is I cannot get the computer to recognize the phone. I have tried using the code to get into Qualcomm PhoneUtils but I guess I am not sure if that applies to my model phone. This would allow me to confirm the USB settings (MTB?) of the phone.
At this point, any connection would be a HUGE step forward.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, the phone is operational; that is to say it makes and receives calls. The Wi-Fi does not turn on and the GPS is very erratic. I have not found any other problems yet, but I am sure that they must be others....

That sucks at least you can make calls. Hope you figure it out. Maybe it has something to do with your warranty bit.

Just one more thought. I know you said you tried everything but did you try a factory reset then on first login when Google asks to import saved data like WiFi settings uncheck the box?

Phone unusable!

Hi guys, I am facing a lot of issues after the marshmallow update on moto G3, locked and unrooted. The thing that triggered this was one day when my internal memory got full, it rebooted. And since then i have faced unbelievable number of issues. No notifications, quick access not working, home n recent buttons not working, incoming call getting rejected and lots of other issues. When i try to enable developer settings and tap build number multiple number of times, nothing happens. No matter how much i try, i am not able to enable developer settings. USB debugging is not working of course and computer won’t recognise the phone, not even in mtp mode. Since quicksettings/notification pulldown is not working, there is no way to change it to MTP mode.
Further, when i go to backup and reset in settings, i see that that the reset option is grayed out. When i try to go to recovery to hard reset, it won’t go to the recovery, just stays on that stupid ‘no input’ screen despite pressing power and volume up key together. I am out of options and since the usb debugging is not working i dunno what more i can do to salvage the phone! Please help me if you can…

Thanks for searching the commands, but sadly it won't work since the debugging is not on. As i mentioned in the OP, adb is not able to see the device. I could just flash the os again if fastboot commands were working! I am still this problem coz fastboot is useless as i am not able to turn on debugging.

Ok let me give u a liitle background to make u understand the exact situation. When the issue began about 3 weeks back, the 1st thing i thought of doing was to connect it to my computer and reflash the firmware from lost101's thread. However, i realised that adb was not able to see my device. All the commands that u mentioned are not working....
Sorry thought you were saying only adb didn't work
