For those of you that installed 2.3.4 and root it right away thru clockwork. You guys need to make sure that you guys have clockwork permanently. I just went thru this. I went to backup my new 2.3.4 Stock Rom via Rom Manager and it went into the Triangle screen with an exclamation point. To avoid this:

At this stage, you have successfully rooted your Nexus S on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent your phone from doing so, follow the steps below:

1. I went into Rom Manager and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Download and/or open Root Explorer

3. Open Root Explorer and navigate to "etc" directory

4. Tap on the gray box that says "Mount R/W"

5. Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old (Note I had both so I erased the previously install-recovery.sh.old and rewrote it on the new install-recovery-sh file that was there)

6. Once renamed, open ROM Manager again

7. choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.

8. You should have Permanent ClockworkMod Recovery.

To test that you have permanent clockworkmod just reboot and go into recovery.

but in fact cannot get root permissions

Did you follow these steps?
[Nexus S General] lyfkevin:
yes, i did.

I found that there was only partially rooted.

I can access screenshot app which needs su permission.

But Titanium Backup shows "root access failed".
[Nexus S General] DaX05:
Once you open Titanium Backup click on "Problems?"

Then click on Get Busybox. Download it. The app will close and just reopen it.

Ill be completely open in admitting that I am a complete Noob. However, i (manually) updated my nexus S to android 2.3.4 Its completely unmodified (unrooted, running stock android 2.3.4). I am unsure about these instructions .... Does following them mean i can root my phone without having to install the android SDK and messing about in CMD ?

I know how to go into recovery mode, but i have no idea, what these 2 lines mean :

"Once you are in recovery mode, select the relevent mounts and storage by Mount / System and Mount / data."

My phone is : Google Nexus S, Android 2.3.4 , baseband I9020XXKD1, build GRJ22
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You need Clockwork Recovery. Not the stock recovery.

Follow the root stickied thread to get CWR on your phone.
[Nexus S General] suffer1989:
I need a rooted phone for CWR, but ive got an unrooted phone....
[Nexus S General] sagech:
You need a phone with an unlocked bootloader to get CWR. You need to mess around with cmd to unlock your phone's bootloader.

As ZephiK said, read the stickied thread, I followed the instructions and it worked.

I Followed everything, and it all worked hunky dory, until Untill step 6, where command told me : "Error : Device not found."

So, i booted my nexus S normally and copied the file 'su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip' onto the root of the SD card, and then rebooted my phone into the recovery menu. however, upon pressing the recovery option, my phone went into a screen where there is a google logo, with an unlocked lock below it.

UPDATE : I tried to use the herring recovery image, and then that seemed to allow me to use the recovery option. then in the recovery menu, i followed the steps, and installed that SU file.

I've been following this thread and trying each solution that has been posted however I am not able to access root. I have updated to 2.3 .4 but lost root that I had before. I am using a mac and I would really appreciate if somebody could explain how exactly to use fastboot to install superuser as just saying flash it through fast boot is no help to me because I don't know how. My nexus s is unlocked and I did previously have root. A step by step guide would really be appreciated or at the very least maybe a link to the appropriate post that would explain how as I have searched and have not been able to come up with a solution that has worked for me yet. Anytime I have gone to recovery and tried to flash super user file it tells me installation has failed. I hope I've given you the information to try and help me with my problem if not let me know and I will provide whatever is needed

For newbies:

ClockworkMod Recovery (From CGM WIKI)

Download ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.5).

Boot into bootloader mode by holding down the trackball while turning the device on. You should see a white screen with three skating androids.

Connect the Nexus One to the computer via USB.

On the computer, open terminal and run:

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-passion.img

The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the Nexus One.

Then

enter recovery, install zip file.

choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

If I root Nexus S 2.3.4 GRJ22 with this method, can I later restore it to original state in case of problem to preserve warranty? Does this method mess with bootloader?

Do I need to backup my original rom prior to using this? Does this delete any data?

Please I am very confused

[Nexus S General] zoemtoeter:
Thank you rejanmanis!

I read and reread this thread over and over, and still my update attempt went completely pearshaped yesterday evening. Mostly due to lack of understanding my own actions.

This message saved the day though: 2.3.4 is up and running and still rooted.

Thank you for this!

btw, I'd love to hit the thank you-button, but it doesn't appear here. Probably my bad, but I hope this message will do.

EDIT: Just after I posted, I noticed the thanks-button and hit it. There should be a law keeping people who can't even click Thanks from trying to root any device.
[Nexus S General] SovereigN7:
For those who cannot get a permanent clockword mod installed and keep getting the stock recovery, do this method by downloading terminal emulator. Some file manager apps will have permission errors when changing install-recovery.sh so I think this method is the best.

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak

Do not type out the "#" as it is there for reference, but type everything out after that including the correct spaces.

Credit goes to Si_NZ! Big thanks!
[Nexus S General] SovereigN7:
If you were rooted previously the 2.3.4 update, follow what I just posted above on 2.3.4 using terminal emulator if you keep getting the stock recovery. I'm assuming your bootloader is "unlocked", so just follow those steps above and flash clockworkmod again by using "fastboot flash recovery (clockworkmod file name)". I named mine as "recovery.img" with the extensions showing so there isnt any confusion.

I keep thinking I am getting corrupted images of CMW. Every time I enter in the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, I get the message that its fully flashed, so when I hit enter recovery, I get the Google screen with the unlock pad. I can still boot back into the phone and use it. Is there a way to just get back the stock recovery?

Also am I suppose to use Crespo or Passion for CMW? Different threads state different ones.

You need the crespo, as it's the nexus s codename.

[Guide] How to install CWM Recovery after update to 2.3.4 and lost prevs CWM Recovery

How to install CWM Recovery after update to 2.3.4 and lost previous CWM Recovery?

I came across this problem just now as I flashed the stock rom (GJR22) for my i9023.

I didnt notice that flashing this stock rom actually will lost my CWM recovery.

And after i finish flash this stock rom, I went into bootloader and selected recovery.

It give me a "android + Triangle danger sign".

I was panicked and almost gone crazy after trying any way to flash CWM recovery again through ROM Manager but fail.

(ROM Manager failed to do the flash job probably it is still not compatitble,

instead, we had to do it manually)

I tried and tried, finally,

after trying different method for 5 hours,

I found a method which is simple and easy to flash CWM recovery into your phone after the 2.3.4 update.

Method to flash CWM recovery into your phone after updated to 2.3.4

1. Follow the instruction for part 1 (Driver) and part 2 (Unlock) here

[If you done that before, just ignore it]

2. Download this file that I created by modifying the content of Superboot.

(Noted: I replace the "boot.super.img" with "CWM 3.0.2.5.img" and change the CWM img name to "boot.super.img" to override it, instead of flashing the original superboot file, we're actually flashing the CWM.)

Link to download the file: GJR22 (Flash CWM Manually)

3. Extract the file out from the RAR.

4. Double click the file name "install-superboot-windows" for window user.

(For MAC user, use "install-superboot-mac.sh")

(For LINUX user, use "install-superboot-linux.sh")

5. You should able to see the Command Prompt being activated and your phone will restart.

6. After restart, you will able to enter "recovery" with CWM 3.0.2.5.

Hope this helps :)

NOTE: This method works for me, but maybe NOT for you, do it at your own risk!

[Nexus S General] jungbum:
Bootloader has to be unlocked in order for you to root.

If you're worried about warranty issue, you can always relock the bootloader by flashing a full stock ROM through recovery.

There is one click root on development thread.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
IF Samsung wants to check if your phone's bootloader was ever unlocked they can, there's a log or some file that'll store changes to the bootloader.

Oem lock is just there so that some random technican at your online/local shop can't see you played around with it :D
