I have a Nexus S running GTJ61. Am I gonna get 4.0 or not?
Better yet, I've been trying to run the Gingerbreak v1.20 apk to root the phone but I don't think it'll work.
What's the easiest way to root, or will Gingerbreak work??
Any info on the ICS update as well would be appreciated.

Maybe I missed it but, where is an unroot for this phone? I'm just asking... my superoneclick doesn't have it.

Look around, its closer than u think...
Are you on GB rom? Super One Click doesn't work with this device runing GB rom. To unroot it you would need to format the system partition and flash back to stock rom.

You cannot superoneclick on the GB update. I got tired of waiting for superoneclick to be updated so I went ahead and NV flashed CWM, then flashed a pre-rooted OTA GB rom. All is good now. I suggest you do the same. Plenty of guides here, and its way easier than what I thought.
Sweet..lol the question never had ginger in it. All it implied was..."is there an unroot method besides the update doing it". If I'm gonna get a replacement, I need unroot. But I have decided to keep it. The freezing up isn't that bad.
Oh, I'm nvflashed back to froyo. Gingerbread update didn't impress me.

I've been trying for a few days and can't get my infuse rooted. I have the adb drivers installed, at least i think i do. When i check device manager it says its installed and i use kies to install the drivers. i tried superoneclick and it always goes unresponsive and when it doesnt it stops at step 7 waiting for device. i also tried DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT and it completes and reboots my infuse but no root access. if this matters im on baseband version uckk4 android version 2.3.6. im new to android btw.
Same Here
I am having the exact same issue. maybe someone on here will be gracious enough to help

This one worked on the first 2.3.6. May work on the newest one also?

Tony,
SOC doesn't work on anything beyond uckj4 gb.
you'll have to downgrade the build to uckj4 if you want to use soc.
the other methods of getting root on uclb3 is less conventional.

Easy Odin flash. You get a ROM UCKD5 which is rooted. And if you want CWM, it's just one easy step with Rom Manager. And then in the Infuse is all yours to play with.
Hello,
I am currently dusting my old LG Phoenix off for my girlfriend as her blackberry just died. My LG phoenix is rooted using the gingerbreak.apk however, it is still using Froyo.
I would like to update this to 2.3 for her and was wondering if I can just plug my phone in and run the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade tool from LG. Is this possible? Would the phone retain the root?
Thanks,
P.S. I tried looking around on the forums however, I am using a computer at work so I might have overlooked something.
It should if you download and install OTA Rootkeeper from the store. Once installed backup root then upgrade and reinstall OTA and restore.

Yes that's correct.
Ok. So I don't have to down grade it to root it later? I read some of the tread that you have to be on a certain ice update not sure its true or not

What version of HC are you on? You don't need to upgrade to ICS and then downgrade back to HC to root. You can root HC and use OTA Rootkeeper to carry Root all the way through ti latest version of ICS.
3.2.1 . Build number 8.6.5.2.1 20111216
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
That looks like a slider model?
Since you are on the last HC incremental build, you should be able to use ViperMod. It is in the Development section. Download that to your PC and run it according to the OP. IIRC, you have to use Option 1 for the TF-Honeycomb build. Once you have root, then go to the market and get OTA Rootkeeper. Install that and make sure it saves Root. Then install a Root app like Titanium and make sure it works. Then use OTA Rkpr to Temp Unroot and take the OTAs. Then finally once you are up-to-date with the latest ICS build (.27 is the last number of it), go back into OTA Rkpr and restore root.
One thing that I have found it that the latest version of OTA Rootkeeper will not save a backup of SU in /system/xbin (this caused me a problem with an app yesterday). What you want to do is get a file explorer like Root Explorer and copy the su from /system/bin and paste it in /system/xbin and you should be good to go.
And one final thing, if you have a custom recovery like Rogue or TWRP, the OTA will not succeed, nor will it if you delete any apps from /system/app. For thatI used Titanium Backup Pro and just Forze the bloat. When a new build comes out, I just defrost and take it, the re-freeze.
What is the slider model? Sorry for noob question

That is why I asked you what build you are on. Razerclaw (.13) only works on earlier builds of HC, whereas ViperMod works on the later versions (.19+).
Could always try Razerclaw. At worst it will let you install it and then once you run it, it should throw an error. I used ViperMod when I got mine b/c I stupidly updated before I knew about Razerclaw (this was before ICS came out). ViperMod is really eay. Just install it on your PC, install the drivers and run it. Takes less than 5 mins to do.
I googled that build number you provided and it came up as a slider version, so that is why I asked.
Edit: OK I just looked around a bit more and your build number isn't 8.6.5.2.1 but rather 8.6.5.21. So you are on build .21. Then you need to use ViperMod and use the directions I post in the other post and this one and you shoudl be good to go.
I had the prime before but sold it do to wifi issued. I rooted the prime before using viper. Is it the same process

Yes. Only for this one it is Option 1.
If you somehow lose Root when you get to the first ICS build (.11 I think it was), you can still use ViperMod but you'll have to use Option 3 then.
Good luck and let us know.

They are one in the same. If you used it before then you should be familiar. Exact same program.
What do I do if the computer doesn't recognize the tf.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Means you probably don't have the drivers installed or still have the ones from your Prime days.
I still have the prime driver on the laptop. Do I need to remove it

I used 3 different rooting programs and it never rooted I just ended up unlocking the bootloader. Can anyone share any insight?
Plus on my computer I can't install any programs so is there any apps on the phone I can use to root it like gingerbreak?
I'm on 4.1.1
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
How do you unlock bootloader? If you do this via fastboot then it is also possible to flash a custom recovery. This is what you need to do in order to flash superuser.
If you don't have fastboot drivers working, I guess you should wait for someone that knows a way around it or visit a friend that can install programs.
