I have a Nexus S (GSM) version and I recently did the OTA update to ICS 4.0.3 and I would like to root the phone and install a custom ROM.
I have rooted NS phones in the past with GB, but have never done one with ICS, I have searched threads and haven't found a procedure using a mac and fastboot commands. Any Help would be appreciated.
Tried using the older method using fastboot to unlock the phone and flash the clockwork 4.0.2 image. It puts the SU file on the phone, but when I try to update the recovery in ROM manager, I get privilege errors?
Any Help would be appreciated.

Have an evo 4g recently flashed blackend e4g 0.0.1a [2.3.3] . I had CM6 running strong and was able to flash CM7 OMGB Fresh and a bunch more. After flashing blackend I lost root access . I can't get into recovery manually or through rom manager. I tried to reroot using revolutionary method for 2.3.3 and it tells me my hboot version is not supported [ hboot version 0.93.0000 ] Simply put stuck like chuck. Searched google and this forum hope I landed in the right place thanks.
Using CWM recovery android 2.3.3 Baseband version 2.15.00.07.28 kernel version 2.6.35.10-g13578ee build 4.53.651.1 cl133994 release-keys
Lost root
I am having the same problem. With blackened. When I go to titanium backup, I am told the app will not work on a phone that is not rooted. Also when I tried to flash a recovery from rom manager nothing happens it just stalls.
Any help would be appreciated.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
I've got to sell my Sensation XE. I've done S-OFF, perm root, 4ext recovery, firmware update to install ICS by Android Revolution HD. Now I would like to delete perm root and install a stock rom, so the person that buy my phone can do OTA update without provlems. How can I achieve this? Thank you

stock recovery image file needed
Hi, needing a bit of help here to restore stock recovery on my Sensation so I can catch OTA ICS update from Three uk. Phone is rooted with revolutionary custom recovery. I need a copy of image file for my software version: 1.45.771.5 so I can use Android Recovery Manager.
All help greatly appreciated!!!!
Any stock recovery should do the job, it doesn't matter whether it's from a 3 ROM or not.
Can your not stick the OTA .zip on your SD card and flash it via the custom recovery, though? I've done that via CWM on a couple of other phones.
Thanks for the reply Rusty, unfortunately had no luck using both methods you suggest, must be doing something wrong
All,
I have just bought a 'new to me' Rogers HTC One X. It already had JB 4.1.1 installed.
I managed to unlock the bootloader via htcdev without issue and managed to flash TWRP 2.3.3 installed via Hasoon2000's tool however it is unusable because the touchscreen doesn't work within it. Is there a work around for this?
I also cannot root the device through the various one-click approaches listed here.
Any help you can offer on rooting it and getting a recovery manager working would be appreciated.
If you need any details from me (various version numbers, etc.) please let me know. I've been out of the Android world for a while so you may need to tell me where to look.
Cheers!
SOLVED
In case others run into this I was able to flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 to the device - touch screen within recovery now works. Once that was done everything was gold: Flashed SU, Viper, and the Viper boot loop fix.
As you have found, root using one-clicks or Hasoon2000's toolkit is not needed on any version except the AT&T variant.
For all other variants (besides AT&T) just unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
The problem was the version of TWRP it pushed. I could never flash anything until I updated it so touch worked again.

Hello all, my problem is that I've unlocked the bootloader and tried CF Auto Root but it just hangs - I've since read it isn't compatible with 5.1.
So how do I root the phone now? Do I actually need a custom recovery, or can I just root it? In the past I've flashed a file from the sdcard and the phone was instantly rooted, so have no experience with recoveries.
Some of the guides I've found are a couple of years old so may be outdated, and there's so many different ways I've been going round in circles.
I have Motorola Device Manager and Minimal ADB + Fastboot installed on a Windows 10 PC, 5.1 version is 23.26.3 peregrine.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Find a compatible recovery for your phone , flash the recovery via adb and then flash SuperSU zip through it .
Thankyou, is there a recommended custom recovery for the xt1039 (Is cwm or twrp better?)?
Is the correct version for xt1039 twrp-3.0.2-0-peregrine.img? Found here: twrp(dot)me/devices/motorolamotog2013lte(dot)html And follow the 'Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)' instructions?
Will this still work if I'm on 5.1, or does it not matter what version I'm on?
Thankyou for any help, as I said I haven't installed custom recovery before so am a bit unsure.
