Almost one click...

Along the same lines as the previous poster, but he actually never installed SuperUser. It is the current SU and the correct clockworkmod (3.1.0.1). Have them click on the install.bat, it will guide them through. It also instructs them to make a backup through recovery before changing /system.

Due to file size limitations, I can't attach the Nexus S drivers, and I can not get to my home server or mediafire etc., for the Nexus Drivers, since I am at work. I will move all this to my home server, when I get off work tonight. Instructions for those would be to unzip the drivers, and when windows asks for the driver location, chose the nexus s driver folder and let windows do the rest.

Have fun. The root process works, they just need the Samsung drivers, so before this evening feel free to supply them with those. As of now, there is no way, that I know of, to unlock the boot loader without erasing data.

Here is my paypal.

:(Will not work on 2.3.4
[Nexus S General] davpel:
I'm also looking for a one-click method like Gingerroot (which, to my understanding, won't work on 2.3.4) not because I can't root via command line, but rather because the one-click methods typically allow for a root without data wipe. Having come from the Evo where I used to install a new ROM on a daily basis, I'm used to having to set up the phone anew all the time. But I simply don't want to anymore. My NS4G is working beautifully and I just don't have the patience anymore to have to start over installing apps, entering passwords, etc. For that reason, I would gladly donate for a true one-click, non-destructive root method.

While this will indeed work on a nexus s. the recovery image was used from the NS4G i cannot promise that the cwm image will work for NS owners

it will however still root you and unlock your phone

download

extract

enable usb debugging by going to settings > applications > development > usb debugging and make sure its checked on

run Drivers.exe

run Run.bat

follow the onscreen prompts (as there is no way to make a "one click" due to the fasboot oem unlock needing interaction)

this will wipe data, there is no way around it due to unlocking the bootloader. sorry #blamegoogle

As I stated in previous post for me .. No computer to use ...help help out there..
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Customers? You're selling rooting + ROMs? Wow...

Sorry but there is no way in hell you should be getting any money for rooting other peoples' phone. The XDA development community does so much for absolutely free. If the devs aren't getting 100% what they should be, you shouldn't either. The money should go towards the devs.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
it is not possible to do this via the phone, you need to unlock the bootloader which is in fastboot mode.. the only commands you can give in fastboot mode are reboot or power off
[Nexus S General] deeren:
i have win 7 64 bits and everything running fine on my laptop. You are interedted only in the tools from sdk or r u trying to download everything from there.

come on dude, to be frank , if you had rooted all the phones above ''the hard way'' like you said, then you wouldnt be needing a guide.

just giving u the recovery.img n the su.zip, you should be able to root it by yourself without a guide.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
you wont be able to root without the complete wipe unfortunately (indifferent of the method used, whether one-click or not). everything involving the fastboot oem unlock which basically is the first step will wipe your phone

[Nexus S General] K@ng2011:
Dude if it was sooooooo easy, to root the nexus S on your Windows 7 then why are we having this issues? Are you dense? Why are people asking these questions I am not the only one having issues with my 64bit system " JAVA CANNOT FIND PATH" Do you know what that means? let me be frank, that means you cannot find your phone in the system to even start the process either tell me another "detailed way" either help out or move, get out of the way!

reuploading a new version, this one has both sets of drivers in it so incase one doesnt work youve got cushion :P

some people are willing to pay someone else for the work it takes to root a phone thats fine with me. I think its called capitalism.

i use to jailbreak iphones in my local area for 20 bucks a pop, but i was the one doing it, not handing a package on over to a customer >.>
[Nexus S General] deeren:
@ k@ng 2011

Its not about the paying thing. It is just that you people don't realise that you are ready to pay for a simple stuff like root. do you think that once you've got root, then you've got rid of adb and fastboot? what i want to say is that even if you get root from a simple application, you will still have to set up adb and fastboot somehow.

let me give you some reasons why:

1) rommanager keeps updating and in the last few versions, somestimes recovery is not flashed correctly. and thus getting you stuck on the bootloader or splash screen everytime you wanna go to recovery .... thus needing fastboot to flash rec back.

2) installing/upgrading radio is always recommended through fastboot.

3) you would need adb to pull/push applications, to pull framework, system ui (for example to use in online kitchen for theming)

4) if you need odin well you'll have at least to get the drivers working correctly

did you try this link?

[Nexus S General] TheDub:
...this is simple.

1.) You must have the Java JDK installed, I don't remember the minimum version but it's listed in the Android SDK installation instructions.

2.) It needs to be in your global path. If you go to System Properties -> Advanced System Settings (Windows Vista and higher) -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables you will see a Window that comes up listing User Variables and System Variables. Under system variables you will see one named Path with a lot of directories already in it. You need to go to the very end and add "; C:\Path\to\your\java\jdk\here".

I'm not looking up specifics for you but it's that simple ;) this is all well documented on Googles Windows Android SDK installation material, I suggest you read that before going any further.

At that point you reboot the phone into bootloader mode (Hold Volume up and Power when the phone is off) go to a command prompt and type "fastboot oem unlock" there, done your phone is unlocked. Next you can install recovery in a similar fashion "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryimage.img" (syntax on that might be wrong) there are guides all over the net and XDA.

It just takes a little bit of reading.
[Nexus S General] chris378:
If your not interested or capable of creating a OneClickRoot please do not post. Everyone is complaining that it is easy but it is not for everyone. Not everyone is computer savvy. So just because a person is not computer savvy shouldnt have to be the reason why they cant get everything out of there phone as we do (Wirelesstether, Rooted apps, etc). Yes creating this OneClickRoot is benifiting me but it is also benifiting the community by creating a reason for some to create one $$$. Creating this OneClickRoot will help future and current members of XDA and will also generate $$$ for the developer that creates the OneClickRoot. Money is what motivates everyone! So if your not trying to help this cause please do not post comments, It really does not make sense too.

Also shabbypenguin seems to be the closest to getting this done. So as soon as he does i will send him the $100 so if you also agreed to chip in please do so. Thanks
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
Seriously. It's like reverse engineering a feature that's already built in. It probably isn't possible to unlock it (the normal fastboot way) without a PC since an Android application isn't going to be able to interface with the boot loader ( I could be wrong have you tried Gingerbreak? )

The best you're probably going to be able to do is someone could write up some scripts that automatically run the proper 2-3 commands for you with all the required files included after you install the drivers and boot into the boot loader.

If you're going to pay me 100 dollars to write a batch file, I'm game.
[Nexus S General] jinsoku3g:
Might be all he's looking for. I think the idea is cool.
[Nexus S General] simon.ponder:
I don't think there is gonna be an app that can launch the fastboot unlock command without having a computer and thus the phone drivers will also be needed. As far as the rest, it should be able to be done. I already posted a solution that roots and that allows for making a nandroid during the process.

That is something that should be done anyways. So besides that, you want a set it and forget it method, right?
[Nexus S General] davpel:
I have to disagree. I was rooted on my Evo for 8 months or so and never once bothered with adb, etc. Everything I needed could be done with Root Explorer, Terminal and other methods.
[Nexus S General] deeren:
of course there are alternatives. anyway you cannot compare evo n the nexus. with the evo, just installing htcsync.exe provided you with all the necessary drivers. stock roms were in ruu.exe forms. so nothing needed.

with the nexus, you cannot do otherwise using odin. you will have to install the drivers ( this is where most of u r having probs)

also, another good example is that with the nexus, even if you have root and flash recovery, with every reboot , you will loose this recovery as stock one gets flashed back. so there will be a time when you will look for fastboot to flash smthing,

anyways i do not want to argue abt the purpose or something. i could make a script providing the root but i dont feel it right. it is just as saying , you are paying someone to make a signed zip from a radio.img for ex.

on topic now :

to those doing the application;

i have seen the scripts in the posts above. the more i think, i believe you do not need fastboot only for the root. just adb would be enough pushing the apk in /system/app

e.g

echo.

echo.

pause

cd "%~dp0"

adb.exe kill-server

adb.exe start-server

adb.exe reboot bootloader

adb.exe wait-for-device

adb.exe push su.apk /system/app

echo

Nobody is paying or charging anyone, we are offering an incentive to help move this process further. Who ever develops the script/commands will be given donations based on gratitude for their fellow devs(Future Devs) Rooting is what opens up many people to the whole experience. NS4G will be a hot commodity in the following months its only been out for a couple of days and we are already experiencing this many problems with noobs and some experienced devs. We are trying to make the world a better place one root/ROM/Mod/Kernel etc. at a time. Join forces so we can drop our gratitude funds in your account so you can donate to charity or whatever cause you feel is decent hell drop it back in the community. Deving should not just be for the experienced android has only been around 3yrs in phones that means most are noobs..................:D:D
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
no adb wont work in fastboot, i have a working version that does all that is asked.. im just testing it now for smoothness (yes i really did return my phone to stock :O )
[Nexus S General] deeren:
At k@ng2011,

Did you succeed with the links i posted some posts above?

If you could not, please post where did u fail and i will try to guide you.

Yes i do understand the incentives but as Zephik said. We are talking abt something that has been achieved already. It's not like raising a bounty for a locked device for eg. The money should not go to someone who just compiles the script (cause the problem you guys are having doesn't lie in the device but setting up of the conputer)but to the one who built the recovery.img n to the one who created the superuser.apk

[Nexus S General] rougegoat:
**** everything about this statement. Money is a nice bonus, but every dev I've ever talked to directly didn't have it as a motivation. The ones who did generally had ****ty roms and general "customer service", and as such I never bothered talking to them.

A good dev here isn't motivated by money. They're motivated by a desire to tinker, a love of developing, and a bit of an ego trip. There's tons of motivations for them. But money just shouldn't be one of them, doubly so since this is over Open Source code.

First of all, you have to have compatible custom kernel for the corresponding version.

Second, have ADB with driver installed.

Third, backup your applications and data (your personal data WILL BE ERASED ON THE NEXT PROCEDURE!!!).

Fourth, fastboot oem unlock

Fifth, fastboot flash boot (your kernel.img)

Sixth, when you go to standby screen, go to settings->applications->development->enable USB debugging

Seventh, run the latest Superoneclick and choose Gingerbreak.

Eights, reboot the machine, done.
