hmn... what i did was
i went to adb
open cmd
flashed recovery3101.img
after that i installed superuser using CWM recovery . if your using the stock recovery it will only show an error msg. didnt wipe anything ... all is ok and well hehehe cheers!
I have issue with CWM and Root. I've follow the guide here.
I manage to successfully do up to step 4 without error. After that, when I reboot the device, it have a message "android installing update". I installed titanium backup and it says no root access. Superuser is available. When I tried to update on Play "Update for Superuser could not be downloaded due to an error (941)"
I tried to go back to recovery, it is the stock recovery instead of CWM. I've updated my 9023 from 4.0.3 (stock non root) to 4.0.4 using CWM. I've installed superuser using CWM as well. But when I reboot the device, it went back to stock recovery. I've tried fastboot CWM, turn off, then turn back on to go recovery, it is using CWM. But when I reboot, and try to go back to recovery, it goes to the stock recovery.
Appreciate some help. Hope my explanation is clear.

First try flashing the latest Superuser than reboot, then open rootexplorer
Rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak".
All Stock ROMs replace the recovery on each Boot if it isn't the stock one. Renaming this script stops that. After you do this, flash CWM one more time and it'll stick.
Thanks to harbb who helped me with the same isseu
not sure if this is legit... I found a few sites with the same tutorial but different backup apps same file download though... can anyone varify?
filename: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, from a mediafire download (/?57iroxlzh8bb5qi)
from tutorial: Root Nexus S with Android 4.0.4 ICS IMM76 Firmware, from androidlot.com
(sorry can't post link)
it just said to do a recovery from bootloader, no other tampering needed... was thinking of using it if it worked as I just did the Nexus S 19023 OTA update 2.3.6 - 4.0.4 found on this forum but wanted to root to use voodoo sound... first timer and dont want to mess around with roms or cwm... figure no harm rooting as Nexus S probably won't get anymore official updates
Signature verification failed
well i have tried to install the superuser from recovery (apply update from SDcard) but every time i try to install the zip file it gives me signature verification error .

That means your not in CWM Recovery. You have to follow the guide and use fastboot to flash a custom recover. Thats why we use a custom recovery, to bypass the signiture check
so wats da final result?
in ics 4.04 how to flash cwm and root and install vodoo?
ended up using m.sabra's one click root and flash cwm tool (/showthread.php?t=1544940) worked a charm, downloaded voodoo sound plus so i didnt have to flash new kernel, putting music back on phone now (had to unlock bootloader) to see how it sounds
also used appbackup&restore, copied backup folder from sd to computer, used the root tool, redownloded appbackup&restore, copied folder back from computer to phone, allowed install from non market, reinstalled all apps
now have superuser and cwm and all my apps back
Hope this may help. it's the way a did it on my Nexus S
Download fastboot for Windows or Mac.
Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download the Rooted Su Binary for 4.0.4
Make sure you have the necessary drivers installed for your device
Put your device into Bootloader Mode (turn your device off, then hold Volume Up + Power).
Once in Bootloader Mode, type the following into your Command Window
fastboot oem unlock
You should now see a couple of lines go through on your Window.
Then Type the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img
Provided this went correctly (it should), you now want to cycle down to “Recovery” on your device using the Volume buttons and press Power to confirm. This should boot you into ClockworkMod.
Select Recovery again, navigate to “Mounts & Storage” and then to “Mount USB Storage”. Once this has been done, your SD Card should appear on your PC.
Copy the Rooted Su Binary you have downloaded to your SD Card, and then Unmount USB Storage on your device.
Navigate back to the main menu of ClockworkMod and select “Install zip from sdcard”, then “Choose zip from sdcard” and select the package you just copied across, and then confirm the installation. This should install the package and root your device.
Hey guys sorry i was on vacation, thats why it took me so long time to come back, anyways... here is the link of the step by step procedure on rooting your nexus s, this is what i followed, http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
but what i did was ;
1. after updating i lost root
2. open adb tool
3. flash new recovery3101.img ( this is to replace default recovery from the stock ics 4.0.4)
4.then installed superuser from the new recovery that i installed ( CWM)
i wont go through all the details since , the link already explained that there....so cheers and hope this works for you , all the needed files is in the link also.

Has any one tried? Worked?
Hello!
Today I show you How to modify your stock ROM.
In this guide I won't use PC or other software because I want to make this guide easy for all.
Important notes:
For this guide I'll use Samsung Galaxy J3 2016, but similar principles works on other devices.
What you need:
TWRP Recovery for your device.
Root Explorer
Rooted Android Device
And APKs(See later what I think)
Step 1:Activating OEM unlock
Don't skip this step because it's the most important.
Go to Settings and tap About Phone.
Tap 7 times on Build Number and activate Developer Settings.
Enter in Developer Settings and search for OEM UNLOCK, ignore warning and activate them.
If you don't have OEM unclock don't worry you can skip this step.
Step 2: Flashing TWRP Recovery via Odin(Samsung Phones only)
If you don't own Samsung device(or device which can be rooted via KingoRoot) you can skip this step because this step is important for rooting phone.
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID
Download TWRP recovery for your device and flashable .zip file of SuperSu v2.XX(determine which version is best for your phone).
Run Odin, when Odin starts go to Options tab and de-check Factory Reset Time and Auto Reboot,
then return to main section. And click on AP button and locate your twrp recovery .tar file and than press open. Now turn of your phone and enter in Download Mode hold Power Button + Volume Down Button + Home Button and connect to PC and click on start. When green message PASS apear in Odin you successfully flash recovery.
To restart phone hold power and volume buttons for some seconds or simply remove and return battery
Step 3: Rooting phone
Enter in Recovery Mode(for Samsung device hold power+volume up+home). Swipe slider to allow modification on system partition. Tap on install and find zip file from SuperSU flashable zip and swipe slider to install zip. Wait to installation complete and reboot phone (your phone can reboot some times to complete.
Installing Root Explorer and exploring system/app and system/app-priv
Install Root Explorer and grant Root access.
Now we explore system partition, but before we start in TWRP Recovery make a backup of System partition.
Enter in system/app directory and search for bloatware and other unuseful apps, but be careful what you delete!
Now download apks from apk mirror(clean apks) and place in system/app and when you finished with placing apk files reset phone to Factory Settings.
Tips:
If you have older Android version( <5.0 Lollipop)
download and install XPosed Framework and MonsterUI from Google Play to have Lollipop Notification Bar.
If you have Samsung device with Android Lollipop 5.1.1 or newer go to system/priv-app(or app-priv) and find SecSetupWizard folder delete them and Factory Reset your phone and Voila Setup Wizard is now AOSP.
For Samsung TouchWiz Lollipop ROMs or newer you can download Material Status bar to get AOSP like experience.
If you running Samsung TW Lollipop ROM and want to have AOSP Phone and Contacts app go to system/app-priv(or priv-app) search for SecContacts_L folder and delete them, insert Google Dialer apk(downloaded from apk mirror looks for MINAPI(I USE MINAPI21) and Google Contacts apk and Factory Reset Phone. Now you free from Samsung Phone and Contacts app.
Customizing Stock ROM is so funny and you can make a new ROM(not new but different ).
If I help you Hit thanks button :victory:
