Hello Dev's,
I removed the costom rom which was installed on my Nexus S, but let it rooted.
If I install Superuser via Play Store, the application doesn't do anything. I also can't get access.
Do I need a costom rom to use Superuser?
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks in advance!

You don't need a custom ROM, but you need root access to use super user.

Ok. Maybe it doens't work because I downloaded if from the Play Store instead of flash it?
You need "su" in "/system/bin" on your phone.
That does not work neither.

Just to clarify, your phone is rooted right?
How did you remove the custom ROM?
If you re-flashed your phone, you have to root it again.
Have you tried to root it again?
I flashed over the original Google rom. Of I root my phone again (via the fastboot method), does it erase all my internal data?

Rooting should never erase any data, unless you are flashing a pre-rooted ROM on your Nexus. I'm a Samsung Admire user, not Nexus.... but that seems to be a universal thing, there, buddy.
I'm still new, so this is not an active link, but this should answer your questions alot better than I ever could, and you may even be able to find support in your native language, whatever that might be.

Actually, on a number of phones you must unlock the bootloader to root the phone, and in some cases, (for security reasons) the phone is wiped when you unlock the bootloader. (I know this warning is given when unlocking an HTC phone's bootloader, although for me nothing was wiped; I don't know what the case is with the Nexus devices)

I have quick question about rooting this phone I used to have mytouch 3g I had rooted back in day. I was thinking about rooting it for superuser etc but I dont want to run custom roms atm. With Clockwork mod will it still t-mobile OTA update without problems or can the root/clockwork mod interfere and cause problems?
Thanks for the info
Updates come directly from Google.

I un-rooted because I had no need for custom recovery as I have no plans to flash a custom ROM, so if I use SuperBoot, I will be able to receive the OTA updates without a hitch from Google, correct?
Sorry for posting in wrong section, Anyways I went through did all the research and here is all the information you need to do it. Also thanks zephiK for the reply that kinda got me on the right track with everything.

[HACK] 23/Dec GRH78: Superboot - rooting the Nexus S
I didnt want to take chance on bad file for the .bat file so if you dont have MD5 checker here is one for firefox.
So to recap... This method will get your Nexsus S rooted, and keep your stock 2.3.1 rom with no modification to the recovery.
...Enjoy...
So just to confirm, this setup will still prompt the OTA update correct? If I accept it I would have to reroot the phone correct?

Anyone know of a non-destructive root method for ICS? My wife and I are swapping phones. Mine is rooted and all but hers isn't and I want to make a Titanium backup of all her stuff.
So far the only method I know of to root is via OEM unlock and flashing clockwork recovery. Then installing su via CWR. The OEM unlock erases everything.

I believe you can root it without unlocking the boot loader using SuperOneClick but I could be wrong. Either way worth a try

Move the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC before starting. Don't forget your pictures folder too!
just copy your entire SDcard to your computer , and then after unlocked bootloader copy it back

My understanding is that you can unroot as needed, so I wouldn't consider rooting the S "destructive". There are instructions to be found easily that explain how to unroot your phone.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant -- disregard the above.
Can't you back up most stuff using MyBackup?

Actually I found another program that works even better (imo). It's called RootUnlocker and it worked for both the Nexus S running 4.0.3 and the LG Optimus 2x running 2.2. However, it didn't work for my Acer a500 but there's currently no method to root 3.2 on it. You need to down grade first.

Download the latest CWM Recovery and flash it as you did the previous, would be smart to get the CWM Touch version.
Well lets see with a rooted phone, you can install apps from various APK files, some of which allow you to use your device as a tethered modem for a laptop or Tablet. What more can you do with a rooted phone, well you can install various custom ROM's, but if you are not familiar with that aspect, READ, READ, and READ some more take several days to read on how to do it, before you download anything to do it. NO ONE will take responsibility for anything that you do to your device, except for yourself. You brick it you buy it.
There are a LOT of custom ROMs out there, read up on them, and find one that suits you. Don't just flash the first one you see, be as best informed as you can possibly be.

Get Super Manager from market. Copy the whole EFS folder to an external sd card. Then from there copy it over to your comp. This way you have two backups of the whole thing.

Flash the moded 6.0.15 cwm recovery from sk8erwitskil in the dev section and it has the option to backup the efs as an img..Just copying the efs folder will not do a crap for you cause the permissions are messed up this way...And by the way learn to do things by your own (by reading here) ...

So I am waiting for my nexus 5 to arrive (hopefully by end of this week or early next week) and I am pretty sure I want to root it. Coming from a rooted s3, there are just way too many advantages of Rooting that I cannot give up. So I have a few questions:
1) how easy it is to relock the bootloader for warranty purposes? Has anyone had to send back their rooted phone to Google and been successful?
2) has anyone here unrooted their phone successfully and sent it back to Google for warranty?
3) if I root but do not flash a custom rom, will I still be able to do Ota updates?
4) will simply uprooting the device (with stock rom) cause any unstability issues?
Thanks!

generally, if its a hardware issue with your device, google will accept rooted devices to fix/replace. if its a software issue, theyll just send it back. ive sent a nexus phone and tablet in for replacement last year, both were still rooted, both still had custom recoveries, custom animations, custom roms, and custom kernels. they gave me no issues about the exchange.
Oh that's great to hear. Then why is known that unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty?
That's my biggest fear. If I unlock the bootloader and then have a hardware issue and cannot relock the bootloader, Will Google refuse to fix it?

if you buy the phone from somewhere else, it will void the warranty, but its easily locked with "fastboot oem lock". but through google, as long as its a hardware issue, they will take care of you.
I ordered the phone from the play store (in canada) so I assume all will be good.
Also to the link to an app to the play store, how exactly does that work? It seems like the perfect solution so why don't more people use it?

Yup, download the latest TWRP recovery, plave it i the fastboot folder and rename it to twrp.img. Place the superSU.zip file on the phones `s sdcard.
Boot into bootlader and type in cmd: fastboot boot twrp.img, twrp will boot (not install) and you can flash the superSU.zip file and reboot.

Hi, i updated to 4.4.3 via ota update. After that i tried to open SuperSU and it says 'There is no SU binary instanned and superSU cannot install it.'
Did i lost root? Do i need to start from the beggining ?
I was trying to flash Franco Kernel and i realized that there is a problem after i tried to enter recovery mode. My device failed to enter recovery mode showing me a dead android with a red exclamation mark.
Thanks in advance !!
1) the dead android is stock android recovery
2) yes you lost root
solution: reflash a custom recovery in fastboot and then flash the supersu zip and you're done.
there are a ton of threads about this issue and how to solve it all over the place. please search next time.
Actually he is not alone. I too updated ota to 4.4.3 and lost root. I searched and searched and I am sure the answer is buried "somewhere" but I couldn't find the answer to *my* question.
I previously rooted my Nexus 5, 4.4.2 using adb and Fastboot, but my question is which image do I use for TWRP and 4.4.3? Is 4.4.3 still called hammerhead or something else? Those names are confusing to non experts and flashing the wrong img can brick the phone.
Which TWRP recovery image do I use?
Which Supersu do I use?
And where do I find them?
Thanks.

The device is hammerhead. The latest official twrp is fine and same with super su. Don't use tool kits that way you know what to do when something like this happens.
This will take you start to finish you were rooted so im assuming your bootloader is unlocked and you can start with flashing recovery image just be sure to read it all .

Yes, but it also makes you look like an idiot when you post on here complaining something doesn't work because of use of a toolkit.
Rooting is just flashing a custom recovery then flashing SuperSU. If you need a toolkit to assist with something as simple as that then I suggest you revert back to stock factory images and stay away from anything regarding "root".

Yep, I'm surprised people still ask this question. If you know how to flash an OTA, you should know what happens after. On a side note, when I flashed the 4.4.3 OTA, I actually didn't lose the TWRP. I just used the OTA from the OTA thread. I just thought it strange.
