App to root nexus s 4g

I used the one click root and all it did was unlock my bootloader and then it didn't flash the recovery. So I just wanna know if there any apps like z4root that can just add superuser.

It took me maybe 5 minutes, if that, to root my ns4g. Cmd-fastboot oem unlock. Then flash the zip. There's a sticky thread with all the info.

There is no known one-click root method for the Nexus S.

This is true. Do you mean the one by shabbypenguin/Chris378? Yeah, that is pretty cool. An automated guide that holds your hand though the whole process is way easier than a list of downloads and instructions that says "Read carefully, because if you do something wrong, your phone will explode."

one click root in the development section works. Just read carefully before you hit enter in the command prompt, you might skip steps.

This is only for rooting the NS4G (d720) using windows. Even though it is a semi-automated process, it is still a good time for being anal about reading carefully and performing each step exactly as described.
Edit: Oh, and read the readme first.

[WINDOWS] [UNLOCK BOOTLOADER] Verizon - 0 / Humanity - 1 [AUTO][Batch][SGSIII]

Method derived from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769411
IF YOU TAKE AN OTA AFTER DOING THIS AND VERIZON/SAMSUNG DECIDE TO UPDATE BOOTLOADER
IT COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE
THANKS TO ADAM OUTLER FOR HIS DISCOVERY ON HOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS, JUST A WAY FOR NOOBS LIKE ME TO DO IT ON WINDOWS EASILY!
*** MUST BE ROOTED
*** MUST HAVE USB DRIVERS FOR SGS III INSTALLED
*** VERIZON ONLY !!!!
MD5
Code:
aboot.img 0BA9AD45FC15CF3D62AF7DD363686B3F
stockboot.img 149B318C76A3EEFD495FCFA98BCDAF28
NOTES:
1. No responsibility taken for bricks. sorry.
2. This is confirmed working on my device and many others
3. Restore method taken away.
4. The bootloader used in unlock is from adam outlers method
5. How do you know it worked ? Samsung splash screen is blazing fast when unlocked and phone boots faster
opposite when locked, right now thats the only way besides actually trying to flash something like a kernel.
Download zip here
HOW TO UNLOCK:
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
1. menu > settings > develop options > (unplug phone) > usb debugging > ok > (plug in phone)
[USB DEBUGGING HAS TO BE CHECKED !]
2. If you are not rooted, get rooted first !
3. download the zip and extract somewhere you will be able to find it
4. pick option 1 and your done
I removed the restore to stock, because it was causing problems, however if you want to restore your backup that the program makes simply run this from command line
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/bootloader_backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
or in terminal emulator
Code:
su -c "dd if=/sdcard/bootloader_backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"
IMPORTANT NOTES: YOU CAN NOW RESTORE BOOTLOADER COMING FROM ANY OTHER METHOD [/SIZE]

Yes I wonder too. As in warranty return needed, can we go back or is there evidence it'd be locked for good.

Will try one of the two ways of unlocking later today. OP is this all the instructions? We don't even plug the phone in?/ Lmfao no seriously the instructions need to be more specific.

Good stuff! Excited to see how this affects the S3 ROM development

good question i can make it reversible. I'll add that now

I thought to reverse all that was needed was to flash the stock files through ODIN, or is this method different than Adams?

Yeah but why gothrough all the trouble when you can just restore it the same way you flashed it.

[Q] permission denied when rooting verizon gs3 (sch-1535)

Alright, so I previously had a GS3 rooted and didn't have any problems going through the process. I am trying to root again however I keep getting a permission denied log. I have been following max lee's video how to root gs3 on mac and have googled this, cannot find a whole lot of info.
Any advice?
Thanks

This is the new method after the OTA update:

Just reread and see that you're using a mac, which I'm not familiar with any methods that work.

No that one is not compatible with mac. I dont know why they haven't made Odin 3.07 for mac yet! Frustrating.

It is very frustrating! Do you know any alternatives to go about this with a mac?

None on xda. You'll need someone with a Windows pc to properly root.

They did create Odin for the Mac it is called Heimdall. I just googled that as I am typing this post. It is not hard to do some research before saying that there isn't any alternatives for the Mac.

[Q] Shell Root S3? Kingo?

Hello everyone - I need to do a shell root of a Verizon Galaxy S3. I don't want to lose any user data, such as SMS, pictures, etc. Someone had recommended Kingo to me but I can't see to get it pass the "downloading driver" stage. It simply tells me to disconnect the USB cable and stops there.
Is there another program available that will allow me to shell root the S3 and preserve all my data?
I apologize for the newbie questions - thanks for the help!

You just want to root your S3? None of our primary root exploits delete /sdcard which is internal storage. Use Casual or Open1your1eyes0 root exploit that utilizes Odin.

Yep, I just need to root it. Again, newbie here, but is Casual or the Open1yourEyes0 pretty straight forward to use? Does it require I load anything onto the phone in advance?

Casual is very simple to use but requires you to have the latest Java installed to your computer (Java 7 or newer). Works on Windows 7 and OSX 10.8.6 and no clue about OSX ML or Windows 8 compatibility. Here's a link to the older Casual that should work:

There should be a very small chance of brick, if any. But don't forget that if you make a backup, even if you brick your device, it will be no problem!

Yes, you'll need CWM, which stands for ClockworkMod. And no, you don't necessarily need root to get it, as it's really just a replacement for your current recovery mode, except it has more options.
Run a Google search with the terms "sph-l300 cwm". :good:
