Ive tried several methods to root the new LEAKED release but to no avail.
Anyone have a good method that worked, preferably a .zip file. Does not seem like any version of su.zip is working at all for me.
Thanks

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.

I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S3 with this method shown here:

Upon root, I tried to open Rom Manager and it is giving the error message:
You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone.
I've searched all forums on how to fix this. So far i've tried to manually download superuser.apk and install it. I've also downloaded it from the Google Play store. When this seemed to not be working I moved on to SuperSU and this app is getting a similar error message.
Any advice or help? I would greatly appreciate any advice !
Thank you,
Erin
It seem's your root has failed. You can go to the guide in my signature to find out how to root your device. It is an easy step by step tutorial.

Thank you for your guide. I followed each step and now have an awesome ROM loaded. Since I had accidentally loaded a stock 4.1.1 recovery with Odin after the root fail I couldn't find a proper method to root 4.1.1 on the VZW S3, so I just downloaded your stock 4.0.4 S3 VZW file and loaded that with Odin. Once I got it back to stock I followed your guide and it worked seamlessly. Thank you!

Thats because there is no official release for 4.1.1 on the Vzw S3
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,
I attempted to root My European Xoom which is on JB 4.1.2 Folowed the instruction from FAQ How do I root my device.
I followed all the instructions from Manual Root Way, by XxLordxX and everything went fine. Did exactly as said so when I finally reached the point where you download "Root Checker Basic" and it says Sorry! This device does not have proper root access. But there is a superuser app but it doesnt do much. So whats gone wrong guys?
Plus once this problem is fixed do I need to do Step 5: Backup Image to SD card and Step 6: Restoring Image from SD card?
To load a custom rom.
Cheers
Hi,
The way I ended up rooting was to use the aio root tool to unlock boot loader, then I tried to root but failed, installed CWM with aio then flashed the pre rooted 4.1.2 can be found in Android development, then flashed Dream 4.2.2 an all out stable ROM using Sheild Kernel for OC it's incredibly smooth.
Hope that helps.
I have searched and searched, and all I can find are tutorials for people who already have root or already have TWRP 2.8 installed, and I haven't even gotten that far.
I'm really wanting to root, install TWRP, and install a custom Lollipop ROM.
Does anyone have tutorial or links to where I can start this process?
I've spent over an hour searching
Any and all help is appreciated!
Flash TWRP tar via Odin .
