[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Guys I have Nexus S i9020T runnig Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version I9020XXKD1, Build number GRJ22. I have looked around a lot and am confused on how to root my phone, is there any simple way of rooting my phone with super user? I run a very old PC so installing the sdk is pretty hard, so could anyone give me a step by step simple tutorial? This is my first Android phone and am a complete noob at this :(
[Nexus S General] frutelaken:
Did you read the sticky yet?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007782

It's a step-by-step tutorial and exactly how you should do it.

The SDK shouldn't really be a strain for your PC.

Good luck,

Greetz
[Nexus S General] csmall:
You don't need the entire SDK. Grab PDAnet USB divers and then choose to download just the 2.3.3 SDK and Google USB drivers from the SDK. Worked fine for me this way. You don't need all the stuff the SDK wants to install by default.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
You dont know how crappy my PC is :p , its a 384 MB ram and only 30 GB memory, its too slow, is there any other way to root? Btw, I have i9020T.
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
No man, you need to use a pc... i guess you will need to be patient...
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Will I be able to use this method for my Nexus S running 2.3.4?

Is there any way to root without the SDK? I heard there was some problem with the fast boot oem? People were getting stuck at the Google screen?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Yes that guide works regardless of what Android version you're using because Android version is not a factor. It's the bootloader.

No, it is impossible to root without the SDK because you have to unlock the bootloader using the SDK. You won't get stuck at the Google screen. People are messing up because they're unable to follow instructions.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Dude can you please come on an IM and give me step by step guidance? :) I'm a total noob, and I reall dont wanna screw up my Nexus cos i cant get it fixed here, i got my nexus sent from U.S.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Everything that you need to know is in that step-by-step guide. What are you having troubles with?
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I just dont want to make any mistakes, thats why i wanted someone to guide me, I'm very new to this stuff.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I've helped people in this topic many times.

The easiest way I can say is to first download the Android SDK listed in that step-by-step thread. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't be scared to do it. Unless you're flashing something for another model of the phone (such as NS4G) everything should be fixable.

Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your respective OS. If its for windows, I know it says recommended for exe but I prefer using the .zip version of it. So download that first if you haven't already.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
Okie :) I have i9020T, I'll install the SDK tonight, before that i will have to install the JDK, can I PM you if I have any doubts?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can respond right away. But if you're able to do it now, that would be the best and I can help you step-by-step to achieve this. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I downloaded the one which said Recommended, I'll download the other one, I'll be able to install the SDK tonight, anytime you'll be online tomorrow?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
It's afternoon here. I'll be on but I can't promise anything being on XDA because I may be busy. Like I said, right now is the best time if its possible. The exe is fine, you don't have to re-download it but I have no idea where the exe is installing the SDK to.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I'll post here whenever I'm done installing the sdk, cos my comp and net are really slow, could you just post a reply when you are on? I'll be right back when you post :)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I'm on.. like I said, I don't browse XDA 24/7. You want my help, I'm not going to come looking for you.

If your internet is really slow and you have to download ROMs after rooting. It might be rough on your end because ROMs are at least ~80MB+
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I'm done downloading the SDK, I am downloading the JDK right now, will install both immediately. I will try the guide, can I PM you if I have any problem, reply whenever you are free, I will wait :) and could you give me a link or names to the roms I will need? I will keep them on download while I install the SDK.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Don't know why you're downloading the JDK but okay. Extract it and rename the folder android-sdk-windows-r12 to /sdk/ and place it on the root of your C drive. So it'd be located in C:\sdk\

You need to put your phone into bootloader mode (while phone is off; VOL UP + Power) while plugged in. Do what the instructions say and set up the drivers.

The step-by-step guide is self-explanatory. I don't really want to paraphrase what the guide says because it's pretty simple. Follow the guide you linked earlier and tell me if you experience any problems or have problems understanding what is being asked.

Edit: In part 2, where it says:

It'll be cd C:\sdk\tools\

(I rename it to sdk because its easier to type than android-sdk-windows-

Edit 2: In part 2 where it tells you to get clockwork 3.0.0.5, disregard that

download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3is5c9n5fi1sd6 instead

when you finish downloading it, place it in C:\sdk\tools\

and type:

This is a newer version of the Recovery and it should function better.
[Nexus S General] Gaurav.Stallion:
I'm downloading the JDK cos when I open the SDK Manager.exe, it gives me an error saying java not found and asks to download the JDK
[Gen8 General] Pete917:
Can anyone help me tether my 101 to an android phone (Orange Sanfrancisco AKA ZTE Blade).

I have rooted the phone and tried a few apps but I cant seem to get it to work.

I'd prefer Bluetooth PAN, but I'd settle with USB or turning the phone into a wifi hotspot (Infrastructure mode).

Are there any apps out there that are known to work that you'd recommend?

Many thanks
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
Dude, good luck. I have been trying to tether via bluetooth since I got my A70 with no luck.

If you have a T-Mo phone with wireless hotspot, you can use that. For some reason, the Archos won't see a wifi hotspot done by an app like Wireless Tether because it's ad-hoc, but it will see the T-Mo wifi hotspot.

That's what I do now. It's a killer on my battery, but I just make sure I have it plugged in or my extra battery on hand.
[Gen8 General] villanbob:
Have you tried the WiFi Hotspot on most Android phones instead? That's what I use. The 101 just finds the Wireless network then.

On mine it is under

Wireless and network - Tethering and portable hotspot - Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
[Gen8 General] poashll:
I am able to use Wireless Tether from the market. Go into settings and put a check in the Use Bluetooth option.

Bit of a strange one.. When I try and set a custom ringtone for a call, I can't because it doesn't show any other than the system defaults but it does show the custom ring tones for all of the notifications such as text/email/system notifications...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehrules:
I have this folder, that's the bizarre bit. They show up under every other status ringtone selection other than the actual ringing tone menu lol?

U should try Ring Extended.. It works for me.. search on the market.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
if you are using gingerblur / gladiatrix reboot the phone and you will see the ringtones. these scripts have an option enabled to stop updating some folders on the phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehrules:
This is occuring on a non-rooted phone, and it was fine until I plugged it into the computer and unplugged it again and since I haven't been able to fix it lol.

And I don't want to use an app for a basic system function. I've managed to manually set it through winamp anyway now.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
I am experiencing the same issue. I'll use a 3rd party app to assign a ringtone (like ringdroid or mp3 ringtone maker) and it use that ringtone for a while and then magically revert back to the the phone's default ringtone at some point.

I have CM7 Nightly #23, with CWM v4.0.

If I go into the Mounts and Storage menu, and try mounting /sdcard, it gives "Error mounting /sdcard!"

It mounts fine when Android is running and also when mounting the phone as USB storage in CWM, so it's obviously not a hardware error.
