Already rooted, sorry. Why? Are you looking for a guinea pig cause you're afraid of bricking your own phone?

Wow, that's kind of a cheap shot.
Did you even click through to his rather lengthy thread (with 110 thank yous attached to the first post, no less)? Sounds like you didn't.
If you had, you'd see he currently supports 24 different phone models. I wouldn't expect any developer to own 24 different models.
Don't forget, this is the xda-developers.com forum. Part of developing is getting other people to beta test your products, and one of the purposes of these forums.
To the OP...I'm already rooted, and on a Mac. Can't help you out, but appreciate your interest in the Nexus S.

I'm willing to try with my non rooted nexus s but the question will be if would wipe my phone if i'm rooted, I don't intend to use custom rom as of yet, but want to make use of image capture apks like droidcap.
thanks.

I've just tried the SUPERONECLICK, it's stuck on 'waiting for device' and then unresponsive. Version 1.63

Status update, I've forgot to install the sdk and usb driver on this machine (not my main PC). Win7 64bit Pro. Now it sticks on 'RUNNING PSNEUTER' for the past 10 minutes...
Does not work, tried the turn off debug on/off same issue, see daemon, opens port, sticks on psneuter....
that app was made to support only 2.1 and 2.2
it works great in all other phones
just not Nexus S due the lack of 2.3 support

He was asking us to test if it works on NEXUS S .... I'm not sure if OP knew SNS is on 2.3.2 ....
not a total lost for me. I'm not root'd yet..
Super One Click does not work. rageagainstthecage does not work. I tried every root method possible to avoid having to unlock the bootloader. None work.

Hi folks.
Unlocked TF300T. Tried CleanROM 3.3 and Surdu's Blue Android roms, and Google Play movies app errors out with "could't fetch licence - error 0" or "This rental is expired" on the first movie I ever bought on Play (Life of Pi... $14.99, ouch) . Of course, this happened 10 minutes after I bought it.
Great first experience, eh?
Movie streams to my Razr Maxx and Note 2 just fine. I would be clueless as to DRM stuff, so is that it, a ROM issue, a root issue? Tried unrooting with Voodoo but no go, same errors.
I'd really appreciate some good advice if you can help me.
Thanks!

As far as I know Google won't let you play movies on rooted devices.
Odp: [Q] Google Play Movies possible DRM issue?
Rooting is no problem but unlocking yes - as far I know it removes the DRM Keys, no way to get it back.

Solved. I am unlocked and rooted and still on CleanROM Inheritance 3.3. Sbdags told me to rename a folder and it solved the entire issue. I'm so pleased with his responsiveness.
So: unlocking, rooting, and custom ROM were no problem.

Rename the system/vendor/lib folder to lib.org
I have similar problem with T2 tv2go. Won't work on rooted tab. But Hidemyroot can fix it. Does it work with Google movies too?
While renaming the files allows google movies to play, my HD movies will only play back in SD quality. It's disappointing to watch these on the tablet and looks like complete sh!t using HDMI out.
Hi,
Does anyone know a way to get Whatsapp working on a wifi-only tablet such as the TF300. Methods I found on the internet didn't work, do I need to get an ancient version of the apk or what else?
Thanks!
If you're rooted, you could use titanium backup. I'm not sure how to do it anymore on unrooted tablets

Been looking around to see if there are any legit root methods available yet for the Pixel. So far, I've found this: http://www.technobuzz.net/root-google-pixel-xl/ anyone know if this is legit? Are there any legit methods yet?

From what I've seen there isn't a version of TWRP for the Pixel yet, however I'd love to be proven wrong.

He also stated that TWRP cannot handle the new file encryption yet, so .zips would need to be uploaded in recovery which is wonky for some, as well as the dual system partition fiasco is not handled yet. So *soon* might be more like a few weeks...
Out of curiosity, what are you guys wanting to do with root? First thing I'm going to do is replace system emojis with iOS ones.
As of 10/20, from the source:
Chainfire said:
This is the first device with Android's new partition layout. Having looked at the firmwares and at running devices (remotely), I have some ideas on how to do it.
However, it will be a while before I have SuperSU fixed up. The changes will be quite a bit of work and testing, and doing so remotely will make that take significantly longer. So I'm just going to wait for my own device, but as they aren't available in my country, it has to be shipped from another country and go through customs. I don't expect my device to arrive for another week or two.
In the meantime, it's always possible someone else releases root for it.
I saw @jcase and @Dees_Troy have been playing with TWRP, to me it seems wholly possible to fix that up (mostly) as well. But even if TWRP is released tomorrow, using the existing SuperSU ZIP will not work on it, due to all the breaking changes in Android 7.1.

Indeed. Once chainfire gets his device, things should begin to roll along much quicker.
I was excited to get the pixel to give into my flashaholic tendencies with reckless abandonment. Sad to see there is no root method available. Went back to my s7 edge for now. I'll get back to my pixel when I can tinker... This pixel sure ain't the Nexus I've grown to know and love. ?

I assume that the dual system layout partition could play a big role in why TWRP/Root isn't ported yet. Every method has to be adapted to that solution so far as it is new. Though TWRP is already being worked and it's only a question of time XD.

@jcase Does the dePixel8 method break Android Pay? Also, does it give you root access, or do I still need to apply root after the dePixel8 (and if so, how?)

This doesn't exactly unlock your bootloader. It breaks whatever VZW put on there to block bootloader unlock. After running this you will need to use adb to unlock the bootloader yourself just like a GS version or a nexus. No, this will not give you root. But typically a bootloader unlock is necessary to achieve root. Root methods have not been released yet. Chain Fire has achieved system less root but it's not ready for release.
Also, no depixel8 does not break android pay. Unlocking your bootloader after applying depixel8 will break android pay. Google has prevented android pay from working of your bootloader is unlocked.
Do you read the XDA articles or just post on the forums?
Hi guys, I would like to try and play the android port of Life is Strange on my Fire HD 10. The problem is, that the game requires android 6/ marshmallow as the minimum OS. As you know the Fire HD 10 can't go beyond Android 5.x, so I thought about rooting it and changing the build.prop file and make my device appear to be another version and hope that that works... but is it even possible to root Fire OS 5.6.2.0 ? And if yes, do you think it would work that way or I might at least be able to install the game? Or is there a way to install this game for android 6 on the Fire without root ? That would be my most prefered choice at least
Looking forward to get some of your guys thoughts on this !

A few on here have confirmed that rooting 5.6.2.0 works. Might just take a few tries. As far as that a particular game I have not a clue, it might require some features in mm that lt simply doesn't have. There is a likely a very good reason for the minimum os limitation they put on it.

Thanks for your reply! Could rooting the HD 10 cause apps to stop working, because they detect root ? Or will still all apps from the PlayStore work ? (assuming I'd actually manage to sucessfully root on 5.2.6.0)
btw I have the 2017 version if that matters, which guide would I have to follow if I wanna root it ? Can I use the guide for the 2016 one aswell or do I have to use a specific one for 2017 and if so which one ?
Thank you in advance!

There are a few apps out there that won't run if they detect root, but the majority of apps from the play store still work.

Yeah I rooted it already and everything is working fine so far, except I still can't play the game sadly. Kinda sucks that the fire is stuck at android 5.1... makes me wonder if I should rather have bought the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 which is very similiar spec wise but runs Marshmallow. Well, I haven't yet given up yet, I still think there must be a way, I just don't know which. I tried modifying the apk and chaning my fire's build.prop and that way I could actually press on "install" regarding the apk, but then I got another error, so I am as far as I was before. :crying:
