Nexus S stuck after Rooting

Hey there guys i have had my nexus s for 2 days and after listening to my friend i decided to root my phone. I am a complete noob at android phones and after rooting, the nexus s rebooted to a locked screen and I dont know what to do from there. It wont let me go through the recovery either. any kind of help would be great.

Could you describe the way you rooted the phone/point us to the guide you followed?
Or could you describe the "locked screen"?

it is just a black screen with the google logo and a lock symbol that i cant click on.
I followed the steps mentioned in the addictive tips site. xda wont let me post the link to the site. This is the title of the post on the site:

What version of gingerbread are you running, 2.3.4? I think superboot only works with 2.3.3 and below.

Some people in the Modaco thread have had the same problem: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-colour-revert-superboot-rooting-the-nexus-s/
What you are going to have to do is flash clockworkmod recovery then flash the full 2.3.4 update. Have a look in the Nexus S part of the forum for the links and instructions
If you are still stuck, you may want to start a thread in the Nexus S forums.

so i basically went into recovery mode and did a hard reset but now all that shows when i reboot is the google logo. i believe the rom is deleted. is there a good tutorial to install the stock rom 2.3.4? thanks for the reply

You are going to need fastboot working.
You can find everything you need in the Nexus S forums.

If I get the S/W updating screen on my phone

can I return it to Tmobile and get a new one? Or do I have to try and unbrick it myself... The bad thing was that I was already In stock for everything and it still bricked it !!!

If you used the LG update tool you have to send it to LG for replacement. Not sure with the ota who takes responsibility.

Hello I keep losing my contrast on my screen of my sons nabi 2 it just started doing this the other day. I have turn it off/on many times and nothing I have also tried to restore it but the root remains on it. I would like to see if it's the root causing the problem or if it's the unit itself so I need some instructions on how to unroot it. If anyone has had this problem before and fixed it please chime in thanks.

How to unroot nabi 2.
Hello! I rooted my son's tablet following a very specific video on youtube. Now I am having some issues and need to send the device back for repairs and need to unroot it. I see you posted a link here to download a file necesary for this purpose, but could you be a little more specific as to how the whole process is done? I would greatly appreciate it.

[Q] Urgent help needed !

I was recently trying to install a ROM.. in the process i usually wipe everything through the recovery but this time i wiped SYSTEM DATA CACHE and BOOT and then i powered off my phone and now i cannot turn on the phone neither can i charge it nor does it work after connecting to the computer... i cannot send it to the service centre because it is bootloader unlocked and custom recovery.. please help me ... also my battery went down so i thought maybe because of the battery this happened if i change the battery will the bootloader work because if it does then i will get it back to original condition and give it to them. please help me it is very urgent !

I think it's best of you just send out to the shop you bought your phone from

[Q] Does Samsung track my IMEI if they know I am rooted?

Dear all,
I got my Galaxy S2 about a year ago and first thing I did was rooting it.
After several months my phone broke, I sent it to Samsung but I had forgotten it was rooted.
So they sent it back and said they wont repair it because its rooted. So I went home and unrooted him,
and if I send him back can they tell if it WAS rooted? (Like check the IMEI or somthing?)
Thanks all,
MrThori

After unrooting the phone no one can tell if the phone was rooted or not. And rooting has nothing related to imei or any other number so they can't tell. If they saved your phone info when it was rooted maybe then they can
