Hi. I am new to android and trying to root my Google Nexus S which has a broken power button, so can't use the normal methods.
I have searched but cannot find a way of unlock and or rooting without the power button.
My question is that is it possible to root without the power button working? Can it be done through some terminal commands? I have tried the one click root for Nexus S and that did not work either.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Depends on what Android version you are running. If it's Gingerbread, yes. Otherwise, no.

it says Android version 4.1.2, baseband version i9020xxki1, kernel version 3.031-g5894150
When I used the one click script and it went into fast boot mode, I am sure it said bootloader unlocked or something similar in red.
Thanks.

One click can't do nothing if you're not able to press power when you need to unlock fastboot.
You're pretty much SOL.

I am in the exact same situation! Trying to root without a power button.
I'm not at the banghead stage yet, but I'm trying to look for a power button replacement.
Can anyone share with me where you bought your power button for the Nexus S from?
thanks.

Try to root with another program, RootBurner_v0.2, google it. or just get it from https://sites.google.com/site/tabletpcdaytonohio/downloads.
Also, make sure tablet is connected to the PC thru USB2 port, not USB3.

Download this root : cydiaimpactor.com
This should work. It only installs su so in order to test whether it's working you'll need some superuser manager app

I can most likely help but I will need you to install antutu benchmark or another application that will tell you the hardware in phone. If it is a MT65xx processor then I know how you can root and Uninstall Chinese apps.
Hope this helps!

Looking at that info, it almost looks like you have a real Galaxy S4, you just have one with Chinese firmware on it. Does this info match your devices info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249916
Can you power off the phone and then press and hold Vol Down + Home + Power? Does this take you to a warning screen saying you are about to enter download mode? If so then you do indeed have the real deal, but I think it is a clone.
I see some info that looks funny though, it says your OS is built from the 4.0.3 SDK and you have an ICS kernel in there even though it says you are on 4.2.2, It also only shows you having 500MB of internal storage compared to the 9GB on my S4 if you cant get phone into download mode then I would suggest trying to run Motochopper or Root By Restore to get rooted.

Are you not able to go into Settings and change languages? I have bought a few clone phones directly from china and they usually came with english on them but when I reset them they would revert back to chinese and I would have to go into settings and change back to english. I can help guide you through the menus if your menu is in chinese.
As far as roms go, you would most likely either have to find someone with same device that ported a rom over or port it yourself if you know how. Only other option is if there is a forum that supports your specific device.
FYI - to help make looking for a rom a bit easier you have a MT6575 device

Uninstall SuperSU and superuser then try running Motochopper again. If it still don't work, try the chinese root program I linked above. If it fails to let you update su binary then it most likely failed to root your device. If the chinese root program don't work either I still know of another option since you have a MT6575 processor

Here are a couple of links to root guides:
Search on google for Asus Zenfone 5 Root (if you havent already)
Try: asuszenfoneblog. com link
Otherwise, keep on searching if it doesn't work, the instructions in the link are quite confusing but if read properly, will potentially root your device
Hopefully they'll work for you!
Enjoy @dboypipes
I found a 1 click method but when I used root checker it said I didn't have root m I tried it twice

Ok, some OneClick methods dont do what they say, but i recommend trying the one on the asuszenfoneblog .com website, its a bit complicated but its the best option in my opinion!
Message me on XDA if you need any more help, im finished for the night now (UK Time) so, if you need any help, it wont be until the morning @ryan012
Happy to help I hope we can find a rooting solution for this device!
So I tried that zenfone root APK. On that aeus blog but when I checked it with root checker it had no root acsess. The directions seemed simple enough I don't think I did anything wrong but who knows
