I have read post on how to root and I can root. But my problem is my nexus will not connect to my computer. I get a unknown device error. Pdanet didn't work and I've tried 2 computers and multiple USB cords. Debug was enabled. I've reset my phone and formatted it and the sdcard. So is there any way of me rooting my device with a apk or without use of a computer? Thanks for your time.
here is a good guide to root http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/
here is easy way to set up sdk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474895
thats the problem. my computers will not recognize my nexus at all. ive tried 3 computers and 3 usb cables. no avail. so im curious to know how i can root my 2.3.7 nexus with a apk such as z4root. i cant get my computer to recognize my phone at all. and my phone doesnt even have the popup to connect via usb.
I hear ur concern but even if there was a apk to root, then ud still be in the same position.... which is no way to connect to any computer.
I had the same issue when I bought my 4G in November. I'll get home soon and give the link I used to get the Samsung drivers so ur computer will recognize ur phone.
For now try this:

Vs Nexus S 4G
I've tried the sdk and pdanet. Didn't work. My phone doesn't even realize its connected to the computer. The Android that pops up usually,doesn't appear in my phone. It just charges. So if there is any app/apk to root my phone please let me know
okay, I found what i used:

good luck
I just attempted this. My phone doesn't even have the status bar notification saying it's connected via USB. And the computer said "device not recognized" I've read that it is a software problem. Is it a phone hardware/software, computer, or the drivers for my computer?
After u did it, did u try the root program?
Or when did it say not recognized....
I remember not being able to hook up via USB but after I did the above I went straight to root program and it worked so I'm not sure what to tell u
But if ur stock, call ur provider or store and just say u want to hook up to computer for music and pics. They can't deny u that.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
No I didn't try the rooting program. I ran the Samsung drivers and then plugged my phone up and my computer still said USB not recognized. And I am all stock. No root, locked bootloader and everything. I called sprint the other day and they couldn't help me cause I'm not on a contract with them. I just got the sprint ns4g. But ill give them a call again.
Thanks
If u have drivers installed, uninstall them. Reboot ur pc and then reinstall ur drivers manually, then give it a shot

The only root methods that I'm aware of require a USB connection to a PC. I'm curious, though. If your USB port isn't working then how did you flash ICS?
I have a mt6582 phone, its been rooted but i decided ti get everything back to stock and unroot (including stock recovery)
now i wanted to root it back but the problem is my usb port on my phone is broken. (able to charge but not recognized in pc, tried another pc same problem)
I wanted to try rooting via wireless adb but the app requires me to connect first via usb to configure adb wireless.
Is there anyway i can do everything wireless? try framaroot and every one-click app but exploits dont work.
thank you,
running on kitkat 4.4.2
Hi I can't find anything relevant to your device so here's a couple options.
1. Get your device repaired
2. Register and ask your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259645
