[Q] how to root and install a cwm on my ns - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

good afternoon
i want root and install a cwm on my I9003XXKI1 with 4.0.4 on.
Can suggest me a way to do it?
many thanks

first thing you would need to do is install the drivers!
here are all the files you need
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1il86suafw6gnsq/nexus.zip
-download and unzip the folder, take out the superuser.zip and put it on your phone's memory, put the nexus folder in your computer's C: drive
-turn on usb debugging and connect your phone to the computer
-open the command prompt type the following:
cd\
cd c:\nexus\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
it will ask you to select yes or no (select yes with the power button) and continue with the command prompt as follow:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will install the recovery on your phone, then
-select recovery in the bootloader menu
-select install zip from sdcard
-select choose zip from sdcard
then find the superuser.zip file and select yes and you're done!

[Q] Cant load Reovery from fastboot

I "attempted" to root my NS following these directions:
I. Before You Begin
1. This will unlock your phone’s bootloader (so you can flash recoveries and ROMs), and can be undone very easily (unlike the Nexus One).
2. This WILL ERASE all your information on the phone.
II. Setup ADB
1. Head to our How To Setup ADB procedure, once you can see your phone’s serial number after typing adb devices then come back to this procedure and continue.
(MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS IN THE WRITTEN PROCEDURE AS THERE HAVE BEEN UPDATES ADDED).
III. Unlock the Bootloader
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Turn it on by holding Volume Up and Power until fastboot mode comes up.
3. Plug the phone in via USB cable to your computer while it is in fastboot mode.
4. Open a command prompt on your computer by clicking on the Start menu button and typing cmd and hitting enter in the search box.
5. In the command prompt that pops up, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
fastboot oem unlock
6. At this point the phone will ask you to confirm, select yes. You now have an unlocked bootloader.
IV. Flash a Custom Recovery Image
1. Download the custom recovery image and save it to your computer:
ClockworkMod Recovery for Nexus S
2. Copy the recovery.img file inside the tools folder of the sdk (so it is in the same folder as fastboot.exe)
3. Then in the command prompt that should still be open, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Once it is flashed, leave the phone in plugged in and in fastboot mode.
V. Root the Phone
1. In fastboot mode, select Recovery using the volume buttons and power button and wait for it to boot into recovery mode.
2. Download the Superuser flashable zip file and save it to your computer.
Superuser for Android 2.0 and Up Flashable Zip
3. Once in recovery mode, select Mounts and Storage then select Mount USB Storage so we can transfer files to the sd while it is in recovery mode.
4. Copy the Superuser.zip file to the root of your internal storage (do NOT extract it, do NOT put it in any folders, just on the phone’s storage itself).
5. Select Unmount on the phone.
6. Select Mount System, then select Go Back to get back to the main menu.
7. Then scroll to flash zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sd card and select the superuser.zip file and wait for it to finish flashing.
8. Once it is done, select Go Back then Reboot System and wait for the phone to reboot.
VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image
1. Once the phone is booted up, plug it in via USB cable and do NOT mount the storage.
2. Open a command prompt on the computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
3. That will mount the system as writable and rename the file that overwrites the recovery image on reboot so that our custom recovery will stay.
4. Turn off the phone and turn it back on by holding down Volume Up and Power to get into fastboot mode.
5. Plug the phone in via USB cable while in fastboot mode and open the command prompt again and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Once it is done, you have just reflashed the recovery image and it will now stick. You are all done! You have an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery image, and root access! If you want to now load a custom ROM head to the next procedure linked below.
I ran into an issue near the end with this step under VI:
2. Open a command prompt on the computer and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
I used root explorer to mount and rename the file since I couldnt get it to mount with adb shell. My issue now is that when I boot into fastboot mode and go to recovery, I get the error icon (The android with the triangle with the ! in the middle). I cant for the life of me figure out how to get recovery back. It also does not recognize my device in fastboot mode with adb devices but does recognize it when its booted into the regular os. Any ideas?
This is solved. Apparently the directions are a little sketchy.
When it got to this step:
5. Plug the phone in via USB cable while in fastboot mode and open the command prompt again and type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\androidsdk\tools\
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the adb reboot bootloader command would not work. Skipping it solved my problem.

How I rooted my Thunderbolt 2.11.605.9

I got a new Thunderbolt and it came with 2.11.605.9 on it and would not downgrade no matter what I tried.
All these instructions and links came from several different posts on various forums.
This is the combination of things that worked for me to gain root access to the device.
The information and links I take no credit for.
Hope this helps someone as it has helped me.
I did not loose my data with this.
The text in purple are links to needed files, just put http:// in front of them.

i used these steps and I still have s on. When I tried to flash a new rom it gets stuck at the htc boot screen. Any help would be great!
I think I would use the downgrade to .5 then revolutionary from there..

I tried this just now but when it goes through the integrity check it does not give me the option to update.
Yes, if you can downgrade at all do it that way. It's much simpler. If you aren't familiar with linux the above will be a hassle for you.
Reason being is, you have to remount the file system to read write every time you want to make a change. It resets to read only on reboot. Thus the s-on.
the weird thing is I already have a rooted devices cause I have the cwm recover still loaded on my device. Just can not flash anything over it. Im on windows 7 right now but I dual boot my laptop with linux mint.
I haven't tried to flash a ROM yet. I just wanted access to some system files so I could edit them.
But according to the post I got the Clockwork info from the below steps should work to flash ROMs.
1. Copy <ROMname>.zip (where <ROMname> is the name of the ROM zip file) to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB
---B. Turn the device off
---C. Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power
---D. Hboot will start. Navigate to recovery with the vol down button. Press power to select and enter recovery.
3. Select "install zip from sdcard"
4. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "<ROMname>.zip"
6. Then select "Yes - install <ROMname>.zip" to confirm
7. Then go back
8. Then reboot.
I don't know however if the ROM has to be signed.
need a hero
I followed this guide and every other guide to root my phone. I could not downgrade the way the other guides told me to the 2.11.605.5 at all. I followed this guide and when i was in the bootloader i did the whole fastboot flash and it worked but now my phone still says s-on (strange thing is that I have the clockwork recovery). I can flash any rom but nothing will take and I either go into bootloop or will not boot past splash screen. I need a true hero to save the day. It is my only phone and means of communication.
Did you get SU and busybox installed?
I'm not sure, I can't boot in any rom so if it was in the su.zip this guide linked me to yes, if not i didn't. Could this be the problem? Can I fix it through h-boot or recovery?
The method I used will allow root access but does not give you s-off.
I'm still looking for what has to be done for that.
apparently you have to have s-off in order to flash a ROM.
I was able to flash skyraider and now have my phone up and running. I updated superuser, installed Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery. My phone still says s-on and will not boot any bamf 3.5 roms or the eternity rom, so I'm still kinda confused as to why. I would love to have a sense 3.5 Rom but I'm stumped...
That is strange, being able to flash one ROM but not others.
I still think it's got to do with the s-on/s-off.
Supposedly ICS is coming for the T-Bolt soon.
I'm hoping it won't be locked down like 2.11.605.9 is.
i rooted as soon as rooting was available, no downgrading or anything, it was easy as pie. js
Have you tried going to revolutionary's site after the OP method and try to get s-off... HTC method will not give you s-off & is not a true rooting tool..
Big thanks to the OP for putting this together!
This was the only way for me to gain root on a factory flashed 605.9 phone.
EDIT: i'm a linux user so i thought i would share what i did to get root. it's basically what the OP did with a linux twist.
1) Get Fastboot and adb for linux here: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630613&stc=1&d=1308537 331
2) Extract the zip to your home directory.
3) open a terminal and issue the following command: sudo chmod 777 fastboot adb
4) Unlock the bootloader using this site: htcdev.com/bootloader
5) you will need to register/login to use the unlocking features of this site.
6) once logged in follow the "unlock device" links to get to the instructions. use these instructions to put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the computer. you can ignore the rest of the instructions as most of them are for windows. just click through until you get to the part about submitting an "unlock token".
7) with the phone in fastboot mode and connected to the computer issue the following command in a terminal: sudo ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8) copy this token into the submit box and edit to make it look similar to the example on the same page. submit the token and you'll get an email with a file "Unlock_code.bin"
9) save "Unlock_code.bin" to your home folder then issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
10) download clockwork recovery to your home folder from here: downloads.unrevoked.com/recoveries/cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
11) issue the command: sudo ./fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-mecha.img
12) Download and install the superuser package
goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1. Copy su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to your sdcard root
2. Start clockworkmod recovery :
---A. Unplug USB

Actually why don't you'll try out the forums on YUPLAYGOD....
They have ALL THE POSSIBLE LINKS THERE and everything is functioning properly including links to TWRP and the rooting etc etc...
And it is better to have TWRP installed to flash SUPERSU..
