I didn't see any suggestions above but here goes...... I rooted my nexus s 4G and when I tried to flash clockwork mod recovery program it shut off and died. It won't turn on, charge, light up. I tried Adams ressurector but it can't recognize the device. I formatted and installed ubuntu specifically on one computer and I can't get the computer to recognize the phone and since its a fresh install I can't install drivers if it won't recognize the phone. Please help????

Give precise answers to those two questions first.
Without precise DETAILS nobody will want or be able to help you.
As I said... Im not sure which root method I did. I tried a couple before it worked. I tried a one click but it wouldn't work and then I tried another page I going on deal to root a nexus s 4G. It said it was rooted but Su wouldn't give permissions. It was working and I tried to flash clockword mod recovery and during that flash it went dark and never lit up again. I never tried to flash a ROM was going to stay stock but rooted.

Rooting
I tried the one click rooting and got left hanging with no sound on 4 occasions - I could never get it to work after the rage installation phase. I had s-off , but couldn't get root. Since I now was getting desperate, I used the hack kit and followed the unzipped instructions in the extracted folder. I had to get and load adb on my ubuntu pc to install Visionary on my inspire after that it was easy. I loaded Revolution rom and am happy with it. I'm a complete noob and have had my inspire only 3 weeks and have no other android experience. If I can do it, so can you.

I've had two inspires already and used both methods (one on each phone). They have both worked for me. You have to root in order to have custom roms. Have you followed the instructions to a T? What are you getting stuck on?

Thanks for the quick replies guys! The inspire is my mom's and shes been having problems with it regarding the sd card unmounting by itself, getting stuck in landscape mode and etc... and i myself own the atrix and so im not that familiar with the inspire
The part where i get stuck at is when i put in the command "hackerize-ace install-downgrade" after i put in those commands and press enter, it says not installed, what am i doing wrong?
Edit: when i try the one click method, the part where i get stuck is at hboot, it doesnt seem to find any images it constantly say "no image, wrong image"
anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure that you have the HTC drivers installed correctly. If you don't your computer cannot communicate with your device to push the downgrade rom to your phone. It doesn't matter which method you are using if the drivers are not installed correctly they both will not function correctly.

curious as to how i can get this to read my phone
I am on a Mac, every time i tried to get it to work on my gf's PC running windows XP it never noticed my phone. I am wondering how to get my mac to recognize my device? i am really curious because i want my sidekick 4G rooted, i tried even the autoroot process but it didnt even work, doesnt allow me to do anything with permisions on the phones terminal, apparently all permissions are denied doto me not being rooted and su isnt a possability doto the lack there being of an su on the phone unrooted. what can i do please help
ok so i rooted my xoom the other day flashed hammer head 2.1. restored my tablet to stock rooted rom buwhen i did i have now found a way to lock my device. i can boot up and have my su icon available to me however i cannot gain root access even through adb it tells me the file system is read only. so i figured i some how unrooted the device and proceeded to begin the root process for honeycomb. however when trying to push su over to the tablet it tells me the file failed to transfer because the file system is read only what do i do now? Any help would be appreciated.
Ok i have now some how erased my device completely it stops at the moto dual core boot screen. I still have cwm but thats it. Im at a loss guys. Bout to warranty this by runnin over it!

your a noob mate seriously... these board are full of people like you... 1.. download the stock images from
http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/MZ604_HWI69.zip/
if your device is a wifi only and then push the files with fastboot...
ie.. unzip the folder into where the adb fastboot exe are
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2. fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot flash user user.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (as you obviously cant handle root..)
Dont have to be an ass about it. But yeah already tried that when i try to push the files it tells me there is no such directory found. So i made sure in cwmr the system was mounted then it tries to transfer but tells me the directory is read only. So i tried the unlock procedure to make sure the tablet was unlocked. everything goes smoothly till i try to transfer the files again.

Not talking mounting in cwm here bud
Get to fastboot mode not android recovery same process power plus vol down
Then flash the files not push as mounting in cwm only put the files on sd card not flashing it outright from what your reply was
I was a noob once and soft bricked everything and yet i read and read and fixed stuff myself through searching.. Cuz ultimately if its bricked what do u have to lose then ey lol just find and try everything cant make a worse paperweight than one u may already have eh
But get to fastboot not cwm then flash the files like i said and it will almost certainly work

Thats my other problem my sd card slot isnt wrkn that was my initial instinct. If i try to flash to the sd card it says no directory found. Ive used 3 different sd cards and get the same message. Im really thinkin i got a bad sd slot even when it was rooted and running i had issues with the sd card not wrking. I had several back ups on it when it did wrk and those dissappeared as well. I bought the xoom soley because of the sd card slot was pretty much going to be my saving grace when doing back ups if i ever messed up. I tried wrking it in fastboot as well if i try to flash to the system its read only. If i flash to the sd card directory not found. I know these questions are irritating to more savy individuals and i looked around trust me the last thing i like to do is say der i dun broke it i need an adult. Im just makin sure i didnt over look something more savy ppl know about. I honestly think its bricked at this point. Ive tried what you said and any other way i can think of but i alway get some kind of error.

Ok thats a very helpful link. Did not know they had a special recovry for the xoom or realize that it wiped out all media if i didnt have this recovery. Lesson learned however i think its bricked solid now cuz it wont charge or come on at all may very well be a bad unit but i c where i went wrong with su as well i flashed 3.0 with out the chmod 4577 during the su update from cwm. Well im going to grab another one from bb and c what happens the unit is non responsive at this point. Thanks to everyone that posted here for the help.

you needed to flash the recovery with FASTBOOT.. not adb push chmod stuff; much easier and the process works
read the top post again.. get the recovery.img file (the v3 one the other fellow told you to grab)
1. hold the volume down button and the power button... some text will come on up the top about fasboot protocol and then
2. leave it plugged in to your computer and DONT TOUCH THE XOOM...
3. get your cmd.exe prompt window out and navigate to where your adb.exe AND fastboot.exe files are (should be tools or platform-tools...)
4. Place the recovery.img file into the explorer window where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe both are.... (this should be there as u keep trying to use adb commands but do it again to make sure)
5. type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
thats the recovery.img flashed...
Got my xoom replaced the other day works fine have root flashed the above mention cwm and everything worked fine. Funny thing tho when they checked to see if the original device had been unlocked they said it was still locked and they gave me a replacement. Other wise id have had to use the warranty i bought. Just thought that was odd.

Super one click no longer works on the G2X GB rom. The exploit was patched. Google purposely left the exploit in the Nexus One GB rom since it is a developer phone and they expect it to be rooted. Right now the only way is to flash CWM recovery with NVFlash and then install a pre-rooted rom.
I've been lurking for a while, and I saw others complaining about the camera after updating. Is there a pre-rooted rom with the LG camera on it, and where would I find it?
did u install the adb drivers also?

I rooted my g2x 2 days ago and I didn't have to install any roms. Just stock 2.3.3. rooted now. Then again, I'm a noob at this though. I installed your zip file and skipped all the command prompt stuff. I don't know what I could have messed up but I couldn't post of the dev forum because I'm a noob still.
I am totally lost. I rooted 2.2 and ran with Weapon. But now I have new g2x and cant handle the rooting process. Read everything I can and still I can't figure it out. I am going nuts with stock. It keeps eating by batter up. Help!!!!!!! I need it spoon fed.

All you have to do is install Clockworkmod with the One-Click Flasher (search for it) and then install my root zip in Clockworkmod (search for it also). It is very easy and simple to do.

I beg to differ. Ever since I got my 2.3.3 preloaded G2x from T-mobile, my computer does not even recognize a new APX device was connected. I've ran the procedure following step by step to the T several times, and it never pops any "S/W Upgrade" on my phone's screen anymore and does not show windows finding any new APX device. Can someone please tell me how I can make windows force install the APX driver without recognizing that the device is there? Is that even possible?

Hello,
I've got a Skyrocket i727 and am stuck on the psneuter part when trying to root. I'm sorry for posting here since I'm sure the answers lie somewhere, but I've been researching since yesterday and haven't found it. I'm on a satellite internet connection that is pretttty slow.
Anyways, so I have the drivers installed, and then run SuperOneClick as Admin on windows 7. I click root and it runs until psneuter then appears to be stuck. It freezes there. When I close the black command screen that has opened it suggests I turn off debugging mode. When I try to close debugging mode it just stays at Waiting for Device...
So, what am I missing?
Thanks so much in advance.
SuperOneClick didn't work on mine because it had updated to 2.3.6 from 2.3.5...Which one do you have?
You need to use this method if your on android 2.3.6
