I don't think your issue is due to SDK
Did you correctly set up Fastboot/ADB and install USB Drivers?
BTW flashing OTA zip only requires a custom recovery.

You can download the zip located in this post for fastboot and adb to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51694329
Android SDK is not needed in this case

Yes it says Fastboot USB in red
Have you got fastboot drivers installed? Check that in device manager. If so, what does fastboot devices say?

Did you get this phone with ics pre-installed or did you just get it? If your only solution is this in my opinion it is a much better solution anyway. For the drivers just use the first step in this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404

Hey,
When I first rooted my phone, it was easy and took 30 mins max, but now I've updated to jellybean and trying to root again, I just can't seem to install adb and the drivers (reinstalled OS).
I've tried various tutorials, but it's just not working.
If anyone could help via teamviewer, it'd be very much appreciated.

Why not just install a custom ROM. Isn't that what you're going to end up doing anyways?

Hi, thanks for telling me about this but once I've selected Nexus S blah... my phone reboots into fastboot mode and then on the tool window it just says,

I don't know why I'm having so much trouble, I've rooted many phones so far.

You need to install the Nexus S adb drivers. Just flash a ROM that's rooted already. There is a ota rooted ROM if you're trying to stay stock.

He can't flash it if he doesn't have root or fast boot! Try installing pdanet on tour computer, it magically made it work for me. Also try a couple different USB cables, for example my girlfriends USB cable that came with her WP7 doesn't let me do a adb or fastboot

Or I could be wrong but I think he can't cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
When I try to flash recovery via fast boot it just says waiting for device.
I have pdanet installed too.
I'm going to try it on my laptop tomorrow, maybe it will work on that.

No need for padnet. Just the right drivers and of course know how to install them. Go to nexushacks.com and watch the tutorial

Uhh he has fastboot on his phone but the fastboot commands are not working for him, aka he doesn't have fastboot.
Drivers and getting it is a total pain in the ass, keep trying new things and eventually it will work out. Did you try a different USB cable?

Uhh he does have fast boot. He just needs the adb drivers and the SDK. That is all. Then he can boot into fastboot then flash recovery then ROM. Viola!

Hi all.
Can anyone lend a hand to help me get my phone rooted again? I had originally rooted it when it first turned up, by using the guide on these forums. Since then I (stupidly) did the OTA upgrade not thinking about losing root. I went from 33r to 38r. The first I knew was when Titanium back up wouldn't back up.
My problem is that neither of my computers (desktop - XP) (Laptop - Windows 7) will now see my phone. They will both make a sound when connecting via the USB cable but neither of them show the phone via My Computer. I've un-installed/installed the drivers again and I have tried putting the phone in Fastboot and clicking on Unlock Bootloader, via the Toolbox V3, but the phone will only "reboot" to the home screen. I'm needing a bit of help from someone who knows what they are doing
Thanks in advance for any help... Foz
Once you unlock the bootloader, I don't think you need to unlock it again. If you lose root after an OTA, I think all you need to do is reflash superuser from recovery. And don't touch those toolboxes. They don't help you learn to solve these problems by yourself.

If re-downloading the zip doesn't work you should try a newer SuperSU version.

I think your problem may be that when you installed the OTA, you also clobbered any custom recovery that was there. Next time, uncheck the option to install recovery.

no flash twrp or any custom recovery in adb and then you can flash the root zip.
I'm following this guide for rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632 .
I'm assuming that I'm doing things ok to a point, as the CMD prompt is saying adb version is 1.0.32 but when i put the phone in fast boot, and type "fastboot devices" the phone will show up in the cmd prompt. Its when I "fastboot oem unlock" and"fastboot reboot", the phone will reboot as normal. No setting up of the phone. All my apps and settings are still there, indicating to me that something is wrong :/
I'm assuming that my drivers are ok otherwise I wouldn't be seeing the above in the cmd prompts but...
Can someone tell me if my mobile should show up in "my computer" ? it has in the past, but no longer does. and I'm wondering if this could have someing to do with my problems??
Thanks again..Foz
If your rooted, you have already unlocked the boot loader unless you relocked it. Did you? If not don't worry about unlock and flash custom recovery and flash supersu zip
I did have a rooted phone until I did an ota update. This lost my root and i have been trying to get root back, but I'm having no luck. Im guessing if I am still struggling tomorrow night, ill factory reset. I have recent back ups so...

All you need to do is flash SuperSU again. It's normal to lose root during an OTA update.
EDIT: didn't read properly. Have you gotten TWRP to flash yet?

Nope. As in post 12. Phones connecting to the pc, its not wiping any data etc after any commands for unlocking boot loader

I'm (wrongly) assuming bootloader needed unlocking again after the ota update because twrp would not install again. I assumed the whole phone needed all 3 processes to gain root again.

The bootloader shouldn't lock again unless you do it yourself. The recovery (unnecessarily because you can uncheck the 'update cm recovery' option in Developer Options to keep your custom recovery) and root (no way around it) are lost during the OTA but the bootloader should remain unlocked. What response do you get when issuing the following command?
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Please paste the results here.

Is there any way to root without using a pc like I did with my G3 using Stumproot?
So I had root working with SU. I updated to the latest SU using flashfire. It flashed and rebooted the phone, now I'm bricked.
I get "security error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked"
I can't get into Recovery or download.
I'm assuming I'm f*cked?
You weren't supposed to update SuperSu it was specifically stated in the original tutorials that updating would cause issues...
Also explain how you aren't able to access the recovery or download mode...
Is the screen black?
Does your computer recognize it when it's plugged in?
All you had to do was extract the newest supersu.apk from the new chainfire release and install via app installer. Hope you got it by now.
Yeah, I got it now.
FYI - extracting the superu.apk doesn't update it. You have to re-run the root.bat that comes with the .zip.
Also, I had to re-flash the stock firmware.
That was scary.
Thanks,
Glad you got it but what I meant was to extract the APK from the zip file transfer it to your phone and then install the APK file regular. either way I'm glad you got it fixed
