[Q] Nexus S Root Help!!

I have a nexus S and need help rooting it. Ive tried using search but iam always missing one piece of information like Build number or android version or model number. So i come to everyone on the board for help.
I have Nexus S i 9020t, android version 2.3.3, baseband i9020xxkb3, build number gri54. I will be using a mac to do the rooting. What information do i need from my phone to root it? Is there a guide out there with my specs?

thx for the help everyone!!!

So you are now rooted? If you still haven't done it, I remember there's a thread in the development section explaining the steps for rooting under Mac.

[Completed] Need Correct Instructions on Rooting Galxy S5 5.0 Sprint GM900p

hello. I need the exact instructions that actually work to root my galaxy s5 5.0. the root methods on forums never work and I know exactly how to root the phone. but no one gives all the information on exactly how to do it. this is a replacement phone. I had the last version of Android rooted but the instructions on rooting that didn't work also and I had to use an app. I see where people have said you need Android bootloader but bootloader doesn't work through Odin. So can't actually put a custom recovery like TWRP on the phone using Odin. Is there another method that people aren't telling us that actually work or is there an app that can root. Had to use towelroot on my last phone because the rooting method never works. And I have been flashing ROMs for years on multiple phones so i know what needs to be downloaded. Just method can't work for everyone ununfortunately. If anyone has any information on how I can root my phone now that I'm on Android 5.0 would be much appreciated. Or if it's impossible to root the phone now that I'm on Android 5.0. If anyone can tell me that I would appreciate that too. Thnx

[Completed] Root Coolpad 8297-T01

Hello everyone! I'm new to android, and I have bought a Coolpad 8297-T01 on a trip to China, which I wish to root in order to install Google Play. It runs on 4.4.4 android version and kernel version is 3.10.28.
I haven't found advice on rooting this particular model, but I've seen that some users here post from the same device. So, before going on rooting from the generic list here http://www.xda-developers.com/root/, I'd like to ask if somebody has rooted successfully this model and how (in order to avoid making any bad mistake)
Thank you!
Anna

Hello.
Yes, your device can be rooted. One of the methods in the thread link you provided should work. Framaroot gets success for a lot of devices, and is probably why it is listed first. If it fails, just move on to the next option until you get root. The methods listed there won't break your device.
Good luck!

Startrail 8

Hey guys,
I just bought a Startrail 8 by LAIQ, after someone stole my cellphone, but i'm not that happy with it's firmware.
It has a Quad Core 1,25GHz processor, runs Android 6.0 and has 1 GB of RAM
1- So can someone tell me if there's a custom rom which is or should be compatible? and where can i find a good guide for doing it? Or is it simply impossible? cause i'm having a hard time finding anything online about it.
2- On another topic, the last time i rooted a devide (Oneplus1) i used Odin, but i was googling about my new cellphone, and found a guide where it explained how to "Flash" the latest official firmware (which i'm running on) and it also said i could install a Custom Rom without rooting my device (with Odin)? Is this possible and will i keep my warranty? And what exactly is the difference between flashing and rooting?
cheers and thanks in advance!
