Good afternoon. I wonder if when i unlock the bootloader can get another card from another network? if it is not possible as I do?

Sorry for my english.

T.I.A
[Nexus S General] baklawa:
well, in your ~/.bashrc file type this

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Downloads/AndroidSDK/tools:$HOME/Downloads/AndroidSDK/platform-tools

export PATH

instead of

export PATH=${PATH}:/home/<your-user-name>/Downloads/AndroidSDK/tools:/home/<your-user-name>/Downloads/AndroidSDK/platform-tools
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
The Nexus S is SIM unlocked, meaning you can use a SIM card from any network with or without unlocking the bootloader.
[Nexus S General] Synyster_Zeikku:
I get this error when trying to flash the bootloader, i have the img. in the same folder with the same filename, with my username. Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
put recovery-clockwork-herring.img in platform-tools folder

then cd to the platform-tools folder (open terminal- applications\ accessories\terminal)

cd ~/androidsdk/platform-tools

then type

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-herring.img
[Nexus S General] zeno78200:
Excellent guide!

However, I had to flash a different recovery image than the one suggested in the first post of the thread. Infact, I couldn't boot the "Herring" recovery.

So I flashed the latest Clockwork recovery image that you can find here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988686&highlight=recovery

I would suggest to modify the first post and give the link to the recovery above.

My 2 cents :p
[Nexus S General] jitzbox:
Same here, rooting is possible with Herring but further moving from 232 to 233 gave "Status 7" error. Installed crespo and it worked fine after that.
[Nexus S General] smoothfreeze:
Will thiz work on i9023? (Slcd)
[Nexus S General] zeno78200:
I don't exactly know....

However, at least you need the recovery for the i9023 that you can find here:

Do not flash Clockwork Recovery

Hi,

I want to root my phone but I do not want to flash clockwork recovery as i have heard that if i do so, I will not get OTA updates. All i want to do with my rooted phone is download apps that have been blocked in my region and update to the latest google app versions.

Is there a way to do this? What happens if an OTA update comes. Would would think I would have to root again, but would I lose my data?
[Nexus S General] n00bfuscator:
Thanks. Really well done and easy to follow.
[Nexus S General] luke88893:
i followed all the instructions, and it seemed to work (eg i have an unlock icon whenever i boot up). but titanium backup says i'm not rooted.

if anyone has ideas, i'd like to hear. i'm going to keep playing around.

update: nevermind. i think i just needed to restart after installing busybox.
[Nexus S General] CraneGuy:
Thanks BlackOtaku for making this guide, I already have my bootloader unlocked and phone rooted but wanted to set all this up on my Ubuntu machine so i'd have it if I ever needed it. Considering that until a few days ago I'd never used Linux you made it pretty easy.

Thanks again

Has anyone else who has rooted using these instructions (thanks BlackOtaku!) having trouble with the 2.3.4 OTA? My update errors out. It was suggested to me on another thread that it may be a problem with my custom bootloader. My phone rooted just fine, but whenever I try installing the update OTA I get the following error:

Finding update package...

If I try flashing the 2.3.4 update my self by downloading the update here I get the following error:

update your clockwork to 3.0.5 (or something)...that one is really old
[Nexus S General] luke88893:
Thanks for your recommendation. I update CWR (2.x to 3.x through ROM Manager). I was then able to install the OTA update by downloading manually and flashing it from CRW.

I originally got CWR 2.x from post #1 in this thread, so if other people run into issues try installing an OTA update, get ROM Manager from the market (if you haven't already) then update CWR from within ROM Manager.

Anyways, thanks for your help! :)
[Nexus S General] alexvega:
so i tried this this morning on my ns4g i got yesterday from sprint.... i got down to where it talks about going into recovery and mounting so you can copy the su file over.... my computer wouldnt recognize my phone. Now when the phone boots up, i have a little unlock symbol at the bottom that wasnt there, but I cannot boot into recovery. It hangs at the Google with the little lock underneath....

any ideas?
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
As long as we're just rooting, shouldn't it be enough to adb push the su binary after unlocking the phone? I mean, Clockwork is nice, but it isn't needed, is it?
[Nexus S General] AlexRamallo:
I can't seem to get into recovery now. When i choose recovery on the bootloader the phone just shows he word "Google" and a picture of a lock(yes, it is 'unlocked') on the bottom of the screen. Same thing shows when I turn on the phone normally, except that when I try to go into recovery it stays there forever.

is there another way to flash cyanogenmod without going into recovery? or is there a way to fix this?

also, just an observation, the yellow-ish tint that was introduced in Android 2.3(i think) isn't shown on this screen but it does come up when I turn on the phone normally.

EDIT:

also, thanks a lot for the tutorial. very easy to follow with simple and clear instructions

So I am have a problem with flashing the recovery img..

toshiba@toshiba-laptop:~$ cd ~/androidsdk/platform-tools

bash: cd: /home/toshiba/androidsdk/platform-tools: No such file or directory

pretty stuck...
[Nexus S General] einsteinchen:
are you certain that there is a folder called platform-tools? could you navigate just to cd: /home/toshiba/androidsdk/ and than enter

ls -a

and post your results? or just look if you can see 'platform-tools'.
[Nexus S General] bballa4sho12111:
yea, thats why i dont get it... i have the filename correct and the location. could my bash file be wrong? i tried the one o.p. and the fix on pg 4 n it still doesnt work for me.. so i guess my phone will not turn on now?
[Nexus S General] einsteinchen:
I'm confused now...

why should your bashfile work if your android folder isn't there where it should be? And why should your phone not turn on, have you done anything to your phone?

Could you tell us what you have done so far? And I don't understand your problem.
[Nexus S General] bballa4sho12111:
So i try entering the same code this afternoon and it worked this time around.. why is it that sometime after restarting the computer or the phone i am getting different results? i had the same problem when trying to unlock the bootloader... code wouldnt work after like 10 tries but after restarting the computer and phone a couple times the same code finally worked..
[Nexus S General] einsteinchen:
If you managed to modify your bashrc correctly you have to reload it manually or reboot your system to use the added commands in your terminal.

The worst is when you did everything exactly as it's said and nothing works :) Probably missed something. Will try again...
[Nexus S General] Corra:
Are you trying fastboot with the nexus effectively in fastboot mode? Because I noticed that when android is loaded, adb recognizes correctly the nexus while fastboot doesn't, and viceversa when the phone is in fastboot mode.

Also, from fast boot, if I fastboot flash, I can get to CWR recovery once. If I turn the phone off I can't. I get the Android and the box logo. It seems like the recovery is not flashing.

May not be a bad idea including this in the original post, eh?

just rename the file "install-recovery.sh" which is in the /etc folder. You can only access it with a root file manager (rootexplorer $4 on the market)

make sure your new file is not ending with .sh

Yes it still stands and works.

Just get the SDK from Google.

Fastboot is included in the SDK. No need to worry about that link to it in the op

Edit. Also download your custom recovery and root zip of choice in place of what is in the op.

Basically sub in the new files but the process itself is the same

waiting for device

follow the steps from 1 to 10

also got the sdk from google and fastboot was included

earlier in this thread it says to update the drivers, how can i do that?

[Nexus S General] treesurf:
Try typing sudo before all fastboot commands.

I used this guide and found it to be MUCH easier: http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/

for a second i thought i had the same problem even with the other howto but searching in the comments i discovered that my problem was i didn't use sudo

Try the free LCD Density for root app in the Market. Change density to to 260, reboot, then change it back to 240 then reboot again. That may help you

This happens on my X also when I change the density in JRummy's over clock app. So I just leave it alone.

I think I read somewhere on either here or Droid Forums that the Blur dialer does not like any other LCD densities. Maybe someone could confirm this.

I can confirm - the blur dialer absolutely does not accommodate any LCD density changes. I havent heard of any fixes yet.
[Droid X General] Jiggity Janx:
Did this start with .320-.340? I was using 210, 217, and/or 220 density on .15 blur without issue. My first thought is the addition of the last called strip on the dialer forced the issue.

Thanks for all the responses/help thus far.
