Thanks for your immense help, and I am following what u said, just see whether I get a Bricked Nexus I9023 or I end up with a fine flowing ICS ROM.

And how do I use the ROM WIPER.zip?

That last help from you would make me atleast confident of doing it all the way ahead, without looking back.

Thanks for this help.
[Nexus S Android Development] sean1984:
rom wiper wipes out your old rom completely so you have a clean slate to flash new rom onto.you flash romwiper.zip in cwm recovery before you flash new rom

did you get clockworkmod recovery installed again? if you did follow the steps i provided you above in my previous post on flashing new rom
[Nexus S Android Development] sunnylovesalman:
I am downloading the ICS rom that you gave me . Once thats downloaded, I ll put it in my SD and then I ll do what u said step by step.

And lets hope for the best.

And 1 thing I must say, I use Galaxy S2, its a much easy process with all these there.

Even a 3 year Old could flash ROMs , root, unrrot with a button like having a cup cake .

Because u have ODIN there .

But I must just say , that this Nexus s is not a friendly phone from any ways .

Your help was awesome that helped me to reach this far,........ for I was about to sell this crap i9023 today itself .

I m on miui v4 and its running like butter.

[Nexus S Android Development] DON2003:
am on 2.3.4, which cwm should I use? the 3.0 or the 4.0?

btw my bootloader already unlocked, will the sd card still be erased after?

sorry, newbie on Nexus-S, seems its a but complicated than my older Captivate
[Nexus S Android Development] HD2kty.:
I need root just for some apps so I still want my phone to look stock after rooting.

Will this change the boot screen or something else ?
[Nexus S Android Development] DON2003:
I can't make the CWM sticky, when should I run it? I still get the triangle with ! when volume up+power+rcovery,

what I did wrong?

I have SU already, run once the CWN via the run batch file and also run the stickyrecovery right after reboot
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
the cwm is not the problem you can choose you like more :)

and i think it will not erease it (:
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
it will change nothing!

even the stock revovery will be there after reboot ! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
mhmm you should run it after the run.bat :/ i will make a bat for you in about 2 hours
[Nexus S Android Development] DON2003:
thanks, so the stickyrecovery.bat won't make it sticky?

will wait
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
it will make it sticky if have the recovery flashed and you don't reboot between recovery flash and sticky.bat
[Nexus S Android Development] TheBassman369:
Excellent job on getting this working on the GSM models. You're a life saver.

I can boot into recovery fine from ROM Manager, but I can't get into recovery through ADB for some reason. Besides that it worked great. Thanks

EDIT: Now ADB reboot recovery works. o_0

[Nexus S Android Development] kevwo:
Hello, just to be clear, it flashed recovery, and then left me back in clockwork mod, and at that point, i ran the stickyrecovery.bat

it seemed to go about its business and worked, rebooted my phone, but when i tried to get back into recovery it did not stick. any help?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Its kind of sucking, because i cant test it myself! :/ because I'm rooted for a while! :/

will work on that **** and publish a sticky recovery complete package!
[Nexus S Android Development] shabbypenguin:
lol now you understand why it took me so many tries. :P

good work on this project tho, may have some time to update the ns4g one
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah its ****ing anoying! :( i pm you wheb its done! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] jeffkhlam:
Thanks. I root my device successfully. One question, should i lock back my bootloader in order to upgrade via OTA in the future? I only root and dont have sticky recovery. If lock back is not good enough, what should?

Thx in advance, i just got my phone yesterday.
[Nexus S Android Development] malachaskos:

[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
you can let the bootloader unlocked no problems with ota!
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
looks like you had a failure download or you deleted the adb.exe in the extracted folder?
[Nexus S Android Development] ancilary:
hi

i m stuck in this step

At computer cmd : check your phone and choose unlock option using up and down button and hit power to make selection

but there when i click on up n down button it just scrolls to 4 things

1.Restart bootloader

2.Reboot

3.Recovery

4.Power Off

plz check

thanks in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
at this step your you should see the bootloader unlock screen? :O
[Nexus S Android Development] ancilary:
k let me tell u what ever happend

1st it told me that it will root nexus s and then warning about data being deleted after that using ADI and fastboot.exe then enable developement on phone n then daemon not started , deamon started after that please look @ your phone and select for unlock option and at that point phone went to boot loader.

but there was nothing lyk unlock it just had same which we get when we manually go to bootloader simply holding volume button

plz help

thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
Have you tried it again?

looks like you got the ADB drivers but no fastboot driver! open the device managment at windows and check if the device is there! phone have to be in fastboot mode!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I see there are two different recoverys 3.0 or 4.0.my question is one made for jvp roms and is 4.0 made for miui and cyanogen or is one just newer than the other
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
4.0 is newer and a bit like Amon_ra, you can choose what you like more! there is no special recovery for a special rom!
[Nexus S Android Development] ancilary:
can u tell me how to install fastboot drivers?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
i don't use windows my self, but connect your phone in fastboot mode and install the pdanet drivers! make sure you connect in fastboot modus when the pdanet installer say you should plug it in!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thanks for clearing that recovery question for me.was a little confused because cyanogen was mentioned. I thought to use cyanogen and miui used different recoverys
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
how can we test to make sure fastboot installed properly.i read through all the post and seen this come up just want to make sure i dont screw myself.i see android adb interface but thats it, no nexus s.i used pda.net to install the drivers and of course sdk and google addons.Its weird if i open devices and printers with my nexus s pluged in, it shows it, but cant find it in device manager.i did see a youtube video on how to check to make sure adb sees my device by typing adb devices and it did confirm that it sees it,i think it said attached and showing the serial number for my phone.One more thing i was wondering is do i have to put the phone in fastboot mode before going into the folder for one click root.i really want to be as prepared as i can be before i start.Thanks in advance.:)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
dude this seems too good to be tru after going into it and seeing that this does EVERYTHING for us besides installing the drivers iam very grateful and excited to be rooted.if everything goes well we should be good enough to go straight to oxygen or another JVP build and flash away?If we were on another rom and wanted to ever get the official update would we be able to do a nandroid restore to get the official.if not how could we go about getting back to stock.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
If you do a nandroid you are able to restore it and get the OTAs! There is no problem related to this!

You could also get back to stock, when ypu download a stock Image, a stock deoxed or there are some Nandroids in the DEV Section, but i think it is the best way to make a nandroid and restore it when a update is coming in!
[Nexus S Android Development] oneguyks:
No, I don't
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah, you have to get your drivers working! Run the PDA Net drivery again!
[Nexus S Android Development] oneguyks:
yes worked.

So what does sticky part do
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
the sticky part deletes the install-recovery.sh! so your custom recovery will stick! if you do not run this you have to install the recovery through the rom manager app every time you reboot into the recovery!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
So if we use the sticky will we loose stock really recovery and my last question?Is rom manager just as good recovery as the recovery that installs.I read about some people suggesting not to use rom manager,don't know why they would suggest that
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
If we use rom manager we would have to flash recovery every time we want to go in recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
if you choose not the modded one it is the same like the one i use in this script!

They mean you should flash ROMs not through the Rom manager! not the recovery!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
im sorry to ask so many times but ive got educate myself before this big leap.if we install sticky recovery will it delete our stock recovery?and if we decide to use rom manager we will have to flash recovery every time we want to go in recovery?my absolute last question is whats the point of using rom manager for our nexus if we cant flash roms with it.Thanks for the help and you will see a donation from me for this too good to be tru rooting method
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
hey no problem! the sticky recovery script will delete a script that is located in etc that will restore the stock recovery all the time you will reboot! I think it is the best to use thr rom manager method because you won't lose the stock recovery!

the thing with thr rom manager! install the clockwork recovery is okay and also it is okay to flash roms, but geeks like me think it is unsafe and you get some errors and so the dev and expert user use the recovery itself to flash roms!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
ok,1.root your method 2.dont install the sticky recovery 3.just choose rom manager to flash clockwork recovery.That would be the perfect method for a noob like myself.Dont see a donate button for you,will look a little harder but if it isnt there then maybe you should set one up
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
oh and when you install a custom rom the recover will stay! :)

I don't want to earn money and you have not to donate! So i will never will have such a button! clicking thank is enough for me! and good luck with Android! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
These awesome dev build recovery into the kernels,I just got my SNS coming from a vibrant so i know very little but the vibrant was so easy to root all i had to do was flash the update.zip in recovery with your method it might be even easier.lol.. I hit the thanks button for you 5 times yesterday and 4 times today for all the help ive recieved from you.Im very gratefull,money motivates some but the fact that money isnt behind your work i think says alot about you.Wish there were more people like you out there,i thought thats what linux was all about.:oOur SNS forums are very good compared to some other forums where a person will get roasted for asking a completely normal noob question.Some of these morons chased some noobs right out of xda and onto other places, glad to see so far that this isnt the case here.Thanks once again i think im about ready.:D
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Dude you are awesome,rooted and loving it.I didnt run the sticky yet but was wondering what exactly do I do.i think i should put in fastboot then run the run.bat again and that will make it stick or am i missing something.Just want to be 110% sure
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I flashed recovery with rom manager and after a reboot recovery went away like we knew it would with out flashing the sticky.what i was wondering is if i flash with rom manager with out installing the sticky then i dont think it will work because during the rom install recovery will reboot recovery after the flash and there for recovery will be gone so i think that in order to flash another rom my only option will be to install the sticky.i really dont want to loose stock recovery if theres another way but if there isnt another way i guess ill have to give it up.is it possible to flash with rom manager.If i can i know im good once on another rom because the dev build recovery into the kernel but that made me think again will that conflict with the stock recovery.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
so quick guide for you!

1. flash the recovery with rom manager

2. reboot into recovery

3. make a nandroid backup

4. flash a rom

5. no the recovery will stick and if you restore the backup and boot it you will have the stock recovery again!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
trying to get recovery to stick.have any tips.if i wanted to install a rom and cant get it to stick could i just run your program with the rom of my choice already on the sd card to flash.basiclly instead of installing the super user file.i ran the run.bat file twice and i also ran the sticky.bat file in rom manager recovery and in stock recovery but cant get it to stick.If i ever get it to stick i will no longer see stock recovery will it go straight to the orange rom manager recovery?im about at the end of this (hopefully)so thanks for your patients and please help me finish this:)
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
you ran my tool and got su?

1. then go into the rom manager, install clockwork and make a backup of the current rom!

2. then the phone will reboot!

3. download the rom you want to flash

4. go into the rom manager and install clockwork

5. reboot to recovery ( you should get into clockwork (the orange))

6. flash the rom!

7. the orange recovery will stick now

if you want the stock rom + recovery back, reboot into recovery and restore the backup!
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Im rooted but can't get recovery to stick so I'm reluctant to flash a rom I've got the stickyrecovery.bat file in my nexus s one click root folder.how do I get the sticky to stick.do I have to be in fastboot mode or do I just have to connect USB as mass storage.
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Yes I'm rooted with su installed. When I flashed rom manager recovery I can get in but that one doesn't stick either. Is it safe to flash even though it doesn't stick
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yes it is safe to flash through that one even it does not stick!
[Nexus S Android Development] ShadowVlican:
thanks! followed all the instructions and successfully rooted my nexus s
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thanks for your perfect working program,thanks to you I'm rooted and loving my first custom rom.I was wondering if you can tell me how to get a zip on my SD from using the command prompt in case I ever flash a very bad kernel that wipes my SD.I've been inspired after using your program and just want to make sure I can get a zip on there manually, I really don't know many commands so if you would be so kind to tell me I would appreciate it
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
simple!

go to recovery --> mounts and storage --> mount usb ! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Yep I know that way how do you move it from the PC to the phone using adb commands
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
adb push *FILE* *DIR*

for example
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Thanks a bunch and sorry to fill your post up these last couple of days but I've asked so many questions that it should answer lots of others new to this,you have been more than helpful I truly appreciate it

a little help please?

hi all, i have a nexus s i9023, all stock, please give me step by step instructions on how to use your tool to root my device and also make the recovery to stick. i also want to save a stock state so that i can revert back to it , also pls tell me which version of cm7 should i flash on my nexus s ? pls help me.
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Do you have 4 g or GSM version
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
hey, I'm on a journey atm, when i return back home i will write a short guide for you!
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
he got a i9023, so its gsm with lcd! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Your in the right place for rooting as this is a perfect working root method atleast it was for me.your hardest problem is getting the drivers installed but I found that if you just install PDA.net that's Included in the one click root package then you will be ok.just follow the directions to the T and you will be ok,chances are that if you have any questions you will be able to have most of them answered by just reading through all the post,I've asked about every detailed question you can think of because I wanted to be 100% sure before I went through the process
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
I'm about to begin work now but I get off at 11 eastern time tonight and if you still need help I would be more than happy to help you step by step.just pm me if your in need of help later but it's very easy process and I'm my opinion relatively safe because if the drivers are not installed you wont be able to go on so it basically either works or it doesn't. Good luck my friend and let the fun begin
[Nexus S Android Development] mike216:
Also one more thing I found that not using the sticky is a good idea so that you always have your stock recovery.the only draw back is you will have to flash recovery after a reboot it your on a stock kernel but as soon as you flash a rom your recovery will stick because the awesome dev build recovery into the kernel. It's the safest way if your a noob like me and was even suggested by borky because I think he or she had the impression that I wasn't the most tech savy person
[Nexus S Android Development] coolabhi6320:
thank you all

hi all, thanx for helping, i have successfully rooted and installed cm 7 nightly, thanks for your help. but please can anyone tel me how to install latest gapps on it.? pls help
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
download gapps from rom manager and flash them!
[Nexus S Android Development] coolabhi6320:
ok thnx, one more thing, i had a problem when i was on stock 2.3.4 and have the same issue now also, my phone is connected to my home wifi and shows the wifi connected sign and the notification bar, but whenever i open any web page or anything it shows network error, i have changed my encryption and all other things but it is the same , network error whereas it runs fine on my office eap encryption, pls help.
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
it is related to the router! some routers cannot handle android phones and i do not know why :/ got the same problem and i bought a new router, because my router was too old, but sometimes changing the decryption helps a lot!
[Nexus S Android Development] coolabhi6320:
thnx for the reply, the newer phones like desire hd and nexus s have problems, but galaxy s and galaxy spica work fine, so i guess i'll have to but a new router then.
[Nexus S Android Development] Shivammcool:
Please tell me if this is right....

I have a nexus s running 2.3.4.

To root this phone I could use this program?

And will it delete everything I have on my phone? I have a stock nexus s with over 100 Apps. I did not unlock the bootloader. Will it still work. And after I press the 'one' button... Will it just reboot my phone and It will seem like nothing will happen?

Please tell me what this will do to my phone. Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
it will unlock your bootloader so your data will be deleted! also the sd card!
[Nexus S Android Development] Shivammcool:
So when I press the one button it will reboot my phone and when it comes on It will seem like a factory reset, but by phone will be rooted?
[Nexus S Android Development] Borky_16:
yeah factory reset + sd-card format !
