so, as the title implies, i was successfully downgraded to 2.2, used z4root to temp root and used ROM Manager to flash CWM recovery.
i am able to boot into android just fine, but when i try to boot to recovery, it hangs at the HTC screen.
i've tried flashing recovery twice within ROM Manager with the same result.
any ideas?

Don't use z4root. Use Visionary.

Can you boot into Bootloader? What does it say? Does it say S-Off? Are you certain you rooted properly? You can use [Win32 Tool]GUI Root with Check and Recovery, otherwise know as ShiftRRv1.0 . It will check and confirm if your rooted. It will also root your device if you so want, and install recovery. Have used it several with Zero issues . Just connect your device via USB, and follow the prompts.

Definitely does not have s-off. He needs to do the misc.img trick and hold volume down button with PG06IMG.zip on the card. This has happened to me a bunch of times. He flashed CWM with temproot. z4root doesn't work on shift.

I am slowly being driven insane trying to find a root method that works and wont brick my phone. Im running the UK vesion of the NS, the i9020 (Not A/T/some other variation). All the root methods seem to be pointing to other variants and Ive already wiped my phone twice trying to get this done.
Can someone provide a link that is known to work with 2.3.4 on the original i9020 NS? My bootloader is already unlocked. Im completely confused with all the different versions of CWM available, most of which dont work, just leave my phone stuck in the CWM recovery console when rebooted and wont run Android.
Thanks

go to www.unlockr.com and check out the how to root the nexus s. there is a video plus written instructions on how to unlock the bootloader (skip this part), install a custom recovery, and root the device. i just got a i9020a (rogers in toronto) and it worked perfect (once i installed the correct drivers). his videos are always good

Assuming stock:
Download su (http://bit.ly/su2361ef) and put it in the root of your NS's usb storage.
Download CWM recovery (http://mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img).
Run 'fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img'.
Apply su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and reboot.
Install Superuser from Market. You are now rooted.
Optional: Flash CWM recovery either manually or through ROM manager (if you want a custom recovery as well).
Hello, i have recently installed the leaked ver of ICS for the skyrocket SGH-I727, unfortunately every root guide pertains to having CWM installed and working? (idk how without root, since you can't boot into CWM recovery without su) or the built in recovery that samsung comes with. When i reach the recovery mode the version is 3e, and i only have my external sd card available, i cannot browse anything within my internal sd card, and also i cannot install the superuser package because it fails the signature check, which i am seeing this common with recovery 3e since nothing will pass the signature check. How then am i supposed to either revert back to recovery 2e or root my device another way? I am pretty sure the zergrush method will not work with ICS.
Thank you.
You have to Odin cwm.
The above is correct you have to flash cwm through Odin

Go to this link (click on the word) and you will get the CWM that you will have to flash through ODIN and then below you will also find the Su files that you will have to flash through CWM to get a complete root on the phone.
After you are done with the root and everything I recommend that you use ODIN to flash CWM Touch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613... I guess you can flash it to start with as well but since i did the CWM follwed by Su and then after getting root and going on a custom ROM i flashed the Touch I am telling you to do the same.. Your call
nvm
First of all, I apologize if this is the wrong area to ask this question. I've been to two other forums with my question and have been told to sod-off without help because I posted in the wrong section
Okay, so I bought my first android phone the other day (HTC Inspire!) and I must say, I am never going back to an iPhone ever again.
However, I am a complete and total noob to rooting (as you will find out)
I successfully rooted my phone upon receiving it (with ACE Advanced Hack Kit) and upon trying to install a custom ROM, received an error (to which I cannot seem to remember specifically what it was). I called a friend who told me to re-run the hack kit, which was a bad idea. It ended up freezing on the radio downgrading and put my phone into a bootloop.
I got it out of bootloop after a few hours of research and reset the phone back to its original settings.
Now, my question is: My phone, in HBOOT, still shows that it is "S-OFF." Would it be okay for me to run it through Ace Advanced Hack Kit again to install CWM? I tried using ROM Manager to flash it over, but rom manager is saying my phone isn't rooted at all, which confuses me. I keep getting the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
Any help or advice you guys can shed would be wonderful.
Once you are s off never run the hack kit again unless you are going to reverse to s on. Your friend gave you some bad advice. Rooted and s off are not the same thing. S off allows flashing of pd98img and custom recovery. Root is an ability within the Rom you use. From your phone install superuser from the market. That will give you root and will let you install a custom recovery through Rom manager. Only install recovery with Rom manager. Don't let Rom manager install a Rom as it is buggy at best. Or you can use 4ext recovery. Once you have a custom recovery do a backup so you can restore if things go wrong. Download whatever Rom you want to use then you want to always select (within recovery) wipe data/factory reset and then wipe dalvik. This should leave you with an empty data, cache and dalvik and also erases android.secure on sd card. Once there you can install a Rom. Never use the factory reset from Rom or hboot with s off as it will really screw things up. Also almost every custom Rom has superuser and busybox installed already so you shouldn't need to install superuser again.

I've installed SU from the play store, but when I go into ROM Manager, it is still saying superuser isn't installed, or I'm not rooted.
Actually you can use the hack kit again BUT you have to go into the optional menu and not use the main option of root.
In the optional screen their is an option to install cwr.
Or alternatively you can install cwr via a pd98img.

If you are S-OFF but flashed a RUU then you are not rooted anymore. You can do as Mardsta says and flash SU in CWM or if you are willing to flash a custom rom, just make sure that CWM recovery is installed and flash a rooted rom. The important thing is that you already are S-OFF.
Never run a non stock device....if you are already S-OFF there is no reason to re run the Hack Kit.

Ahh yes the optional menu. Been so long since I've used the hack kit I totally spaced the extra options. I rooted back when we still had to make our own gold card.

That's the thing though. I don't have CWM installed (going to recovery in HBOOT simply yields the red error symbol). I have SU installed, but because I am not rooted, it isn't being recognized by Rom manager. I apologize for my ignorance, but how exactly do I get CWM on my phone then? Is there a program that can root and flash it without messing with the S setting?

As marsdta said you can use the hack kits optional menu to flash cwm. You may have to put your phone into fastboot though to get it to recognize it. I'm not 100% on that though because I have never done it that way myself. Or you can use a pd98img.

THAT ^^^^^^
Go to Google Play store and download 4ext recovery control. I like it much better than the cwm given by ace. All you need then is a rom dev'd for inspire or dhd. If it's for dhd then you need to also flash inspiremod so the gps and branding reflect north america and inspire 4g.
Hi all,
My phone is 2.3.5 stock with sense 3.0
I have followed the easy root kit to successfully updated hboot, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM and rooted with superuser working just fine.
However, I did a factory reset from the Settings afterwards, and superuser started to misbehave:
1. it either won't load with a complete white screen.
2. Or it would load successfully but won't be notified when other apps trying to request root access.
I have booted the phone into recovery and flashed the su.zip couple times, but nothing has changed for the better.
I am wondering if I have to
1. rerun the root kit one more time to unlock BT, flash CWM and install SU.
2. or have to go back to the original state by rerunning the RUUxx.exe file downloaded from HTC, then run root kit.
2.1 Will rerun RUU clean up all the CWM and SU stuff and go back to the original state?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Try reflashing SU in CWM or flash superSU...you don't need to run the tool or a RUU.

Thanks for your advice.
I did flash SU several times to no avail. I can see the SuperUser in the app drawer, it just won't work as before.
So I can flash superSU in the same way in CWM?
Would that override SuperUser or they would just co-exist?
Thanks
Flashing SuperSU did the trick!!!
Much to my pleasant surprise, SuperUser is automatically removed! At least I don't see it in the app drawer anymore.
It is rooted again now!
Thanks a lot

Ok so my m8 from Verizon which has an unlocked bootloader, s-off, and is rooted with TWRP flashed and working but is unable to flash roms. I first tired to flash ViperONE but it said it failed with a status reason 7, ok thats fine lets reboot to the system, oh wait it's stuck on the white background green htc text logo. so I'm able to RUU back to stock and try to install cleanrom 1.0, failed, ok lets reboot back to system, oh wait stuck again, had to RRU back and now I don't know what the hell is going on with my phone. root checker verified root, when i boot into bootloader it says its unlocked and s-off, why can't i flash roms?
I did the weaksauce temproot and firewater exploit to get s-off.

Yea I did, so I uninstalled just to be safe and now when I try to reflash supersu.zip through recovery it flashes ok, but then when I boot back into the OS superuser is not installed.
ok im posting back becuase the issue has been resolved. I guess I had a corrupted copy of twrp because I flashed Philz touch recovery and everything flashed perfectly.

I am still having the same issue. I can't flash any ROM. I get the Status 7 issue when flashing ViperOne. I have tried TWRP, CWM, and Philz, and I can't flash a ROM with any of them. How are you flashing your Recovery? I am wondering if flashing Recovery using Flashify is part of my problem. I this point, I am searching for any answer to this problem. I have been trying to flash a ROM since April 26th. Let me know. Thanks.
