can u do this being rooted or do you have to revert to stock
[Nexus S Android Development] qreffie:
For some reason this didn't work for me. I tried it twice but each time the phone rebooted I still didn't have root. Do I have to unlock fastboot?

finally regain root, thank you!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] annndrewww:
Yes. These instructions assume you have already unlocked your bootloader.
[Nexus S Android Development] dakiz71:
maybe a noob question: if I just root my Nexus S using this method (no custom rom installation), will I still be able to get OTA updates from google?
[Nexus S Android Development] annndrewww:
Yes. You may have to re-root after updates but your phone will prompt you when OTA updates are available just like normal.
[Nexus S Android Development] qreffie:
Figures. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time. I think I even remember unlocking it last time I rooted this way. I guess I should just leave it permanently unlocked then so it doesn't keep wiping every time I go to root after an update.

Hi,

I can't get it to work on my mac.

When I put the renamed as "superboot" folder on the desktop, I open the terminal and type in:

~/Desktop/superboot/chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh./install-superboot-mac.sh

it doesn't find that path.

Could somebody help me as a noob?

Thank you!
[Nexus S Android Development] DarkAgent:
Am I the only one that did not lose root after the latest 2.3.2 update?

I used the superboot method for 2.3.1 and also did not lose root in with the 2.3.2 update.

[Nexus S Android Development] johnvicencio:
Thank you. This seems simple. I'm stuck with my XP recognizing my Nexus S USB Driver after installing SDK and Google USB Driver even after trying to "update" driver under Device Manager and redirect the directory to Google USB Driver? I'm very confused.
[Nexus S Android Development] IcOpRo:
Ok buddy heres what you need to do, on the MAC, this is how i do it.:

DL the .zip in the OP.

Extract it on you're desktop

Rename the Extracted file to Nexus (thats what I name it)

youre device needs to have the bootlader Unlocked.

Open Terminal and type

cd desktop

cd nexus

chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)

./install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)

then you're done. hope this helps.

Let me know.

Any chance Paul, you could get this updated for the latest Gingerbread update? 2.3.3?? it would be sweet if u could!

Thanks
[Nexus S Android Development] TheSystemHasFailed:
+1 On that. I'm on 2.3.3 also. Not sure how hard it would be to move back down to 2.3.2 in order to use this

But thank you, regardless for the hard work.

Apparently Paul at Modaco has updated his Superboot for 2.3.3 also

[Nexus S Android Development] laurentbon:
Bit confused, after manually updating to 2.3.3 and lossing root, I have executed the new 2.3.3 superboot from Modaco as per the link above.

Am I right to assume that this doesn't install a recovery image though? How can I then flash a different kernel? How do I go about installing a recovery image such as Clockwork after running superboot?

Thank you,

L
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
Download ROM Manager from the market. Open ROM Manager, and flash CW Recovery. Put the kernel on ur SD card, CW recovery and flash it.
[Nexus S Android Development] laurentbon:
Have answered my own question, sorry. Just need to install the Clockworkmod rom manager app from the market and flash the recovery image from there. Dead easy.

I've noticed in Paul's thread that the file is for 2.3.3 GRI40. But it does not say on GRI54.

How long does it take the phone to restart after rooting?
[Nexus S Android Development] nmoreman:
Hello, I am double posting in 2 forums because my new Nexus (sprint) is locked up, actually unlocked using Superboot, but stuck.

I was on 2.3.4, used Superboot GR140, it unlocked my now stuck at C;Superboot

in cmd with no place to go.

I had placed su on internal card, but cannot go anyplace in recovery. I know these phones are supposed to unbrickable, but not feeling that way tonight.

Please help, I will push the thanks button -
[Nexus S Android Development] foethalove:
I was running stock 2.3.4 and successfully unlocked my bootloader using steps 1-5 of this thread and then tried rooting it using the simple Modaco method mentioned at the top of the same thread. It was late and I wasnt paying attention that it was for 2.3.2..

I got everything in terminal to say that it flashed correctly but when I unplug my phone I am stuck at the Google splash screen. After a battery pull I can boot into fastboot and choose recovery but then I am greeted with the android out of the box followed by a triangle ..I am assuming i have lost/ corrupted my recovery. Can anyone guide me out of this mess?
[Nexus S Android Development] Chamb':
Flash the stock boot.img (2.3.4) in bootloader mode by typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then restart.

Or try this if you still want root your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139261
[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
I'm in the same boat as the guy he is replying too, and I find this comment unhelpful. What am I supposed to do with that file you're linking to? How do I know I'm i'm "bootloader mode", and where do I type into? Terminal? Please someone clarify... My phone is unusable right now.
[Nexus S Android Development] Realtyem:
First of all, relax. If your phone turns on then you are not in as bad a shape that you think. What happened is easy enough to explain. You rooted your phone and flashed a recovery, but the stock roms include files that will reflash the stock recovery upon reboot. You have to remember to remove those files(I don't recall what they are right now).

Second, look for the stock rom 2.3.4 or a newer one if you want. You can even use a custom rom if you want(if you use cyanogenmod I recommend the last stable version 7.1.0.1). These can all be found on XDA. I know everyone always says "search for it, it's there" but apparently they've never actually used the search function on XDA because it doesn't find anything useful unless you are prepared to go thru pages of crap.

Third, if you have an unlocked bootloader(which IS reversable) then you are already past the biggest, scariest part.

Fourth, your data is gone. Any saved passwords or app data, assume it doesn't exist because you will be re-installing apps and putting in all that stuff over. Fortunately your ringtones are preserved(woohoo!!)

I will make the assumption that you know what fastboot is, that you know how to navigate in windows, that you have the correct drivers already installed on your computer to recognize your phone, and that you know which way is UP.

In this order:

1. From a powered off state(pull the battery if you want) hold VOL up and then press power to get to the bootloader. Make sure your phone is plugged into the computer.

2. (Big assumption here)Use the fastboot commands to flash a recovery image (fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img). This will flash the recovery and allow you to use it's functions, but will not stay if you use a stock rom, it will be overwritten when a stock rom boots. Once it has finished flashing, tell your bootloader(it should be on the phone's screen) to go to recovery.

3. Making sure that you know where you placed the rom you downloaded is, activate the mass storage interface(if you use clockwork then it's under the "mounts and storage" menu, usually at the bottom. It's called "mount USB storage") and copy the rom file(still zipped) to the base directory of your phones sdcard. Once finished copying, tell windows to eject your phones drive then tell clockwork that you are done(unmount, and go back) so it goes back to the main window.

4. Install the zip file for you custom rom with the appropriate menu option. Make sure you follow the rom's installation instructions as documented in it's thread. Some make you jump thru a lot of hoops so have it pulled up and ready to re-read in your computer's browser. If you used cyanogen, flash gapps. Otherwise you may want to use the wipe data/ factory reset option to clean all the apps and such from your phone to make sure it's as smooth a transition as possible.

Good Luck,

Don't Panic

P.S. Once you've done this like three times, it will be almost second nature and you'll find yourself to be switching roms like it's going out of style.:cool:
[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
First, thanks for the help. I'm not panicked, I've soft bricked other phones before and gotten back from them. There's almost always a workaround, it's just a matter of finding someone on here who knows more than I do and learning from them.

So I took your advice and tried to flash a custom ROM, in this case CyanogenMod 7. I got the ROM zip file straight from their website, put it on the sdcard, and tried to install it. Here's what happened my phone said after trying to run the zip:

Installing: /sdcard/update-cm-(blah blah blah, the zip file for CM7)

E:Can't find Misc

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-(blah blah blah)

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I tried to do flash an ICS ROM before and had the same problem... any ideas? Thanks again.
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
You need to flash the latest version of CWM.

EDIT: What version do you have?
[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
Er... How do I find out?

Edit: Version 3.0.0
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Yeah, you need to be above 4.x.x.

[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
Uh... I'm using the Nexus S on AT&T. The clockwork mod file on this site says its for the NS4G. I don't know if it matters. Also, is there a version I can flash that keeps the confirmation screen? I don't want to press something accidentally...
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Download the first or second file, cyan or green color. The NS4G files are below that. You will still have the confirmation screen with the top two.
[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
Okay sweet, thanks. I didn't realize those were links, haha. How do I flash these, though? I'm assuming I put them on the sdcard... but then what?
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
The same way you flashed CWM originally. Put the file in the same directory as your fastboot file, power down, connect phone to computer via usb, power up while holding power button and volume up. On your computer, use terminal (osx) or cmd prompt (win) and change directory to where you have fastboot and the recovery image, then type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is the name of the recovery image you downloaded.
[Nexus S Android Development] jmusso:
Success. I'm running ICS now no probs. Thanks a lot man.

[Streak 5 General] yarco89:
hi to all i have some question...

i am ITALIAN AND LIVE IN ITALY i have buy an Dell Streak from USA with lock from AT&T..

searching on internet i have found 2 mode for unlock it.

1) Rebel SIM II

2) some site and some seller on ebay sell a code for unlock the phone..

my question are:

1) if i root the phone and install a New ROM, maybe an Froyo 2.2, using Clockwork Recovery or Nandroid, the mobile the phone will be locked?

2) if i buy a code, and i upgrade the Version of Android, the phone will be unlocked?

3) if i buy a Rebel Sim, and i upgrade the version of Android, the Rebel work again?

and last :)

4) there is some other method for unlock the device? maybe without buy a code or Rebel SIM?

thanks to all

aspect response :)

enjoy
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Yes if you root the device it will still be locked

Yes if you unlock with code and upgrade, device will still be unlocked. And if it does relock somehow, just re-enter the code

Rebel sim doesn't work with new basebands

As of now those are your two options.
[Streak 5 General] yarco89:
and for unlock Dell streak o2?

how i can make?

if i install a custom ROM, the Lock still again?
[Streak 5 General] dhavalg:
If a phone is unlocked by the code, it remains unlocked for life... no matter what ever you try to do.... rooting.... modding.... any thing.

So dont worry and just push ahead with modding.
[Streak 5 General] rebelsimcard:
Dell Streak unlocking options

depends on firmware you have and you have diff options

v1.6 & 2.1 can use Rebel sim II with v1.2 for Full Usage but cant yet upgrade to 2.2 unless use dj steve no base band update for 2.2

v2.1 & 2.2 users can user special software from home to read out the unlock code and can upgrade to new Android OS in future

I really like the TI clones (TI-83/85/86), although they are overkill for many uses.

They are a bit cramped on a phone, though, so I'd really like to run them on my NC. However they won't run on the default 2.1 OS; they require Froyo.

HandyCalc by far is the most capable, easiest to use. Does graphing, multi-variable calculus, and on top of that, you can do currency conversions in it that are calculated using live and daily updated conversion rates.

"Maps" is Google Maps.

The rest I don't use, although I don't know how many of the ones not labeled "AT&T" are from ATT or Samsung.

EDIT: I think "Navigation" is the other piece of Google Maps - I only activate it from Maps, so I'm not certain
[Android Apps and Games] :
Does that mean its free or you paying to

Use the app called maps(google maps)?
[Android Apps and Games] ubuntujason:
Ah don't you just love the preinstalled apps from phone companies [reminds me of that bogus software preinstalled on store bought computers ... a large reason i started building my own :P]

so okay ...

free apps:

Maps - as stated above, it's the Google Maps program. Free on wifi, if done on the edge or 3g network, data charges apply.

Daily Briefing - widget that can display: weather, news headlines and stocks. If used on wifi, its free ... on the edge or 3g network data costs apply

Mobile Banking - exactly as the name implies, a banking program. supports many [but not all] banks. again, free over wifi ...

QuickOffice - a bare bones office program.

Mini Diary - diary app, free

Subscription apps:

AT&T

hotspots

Family maps

music

navigator

mobile Video

where

Other:

Talk - Google Talk program

Instant Messenger - IM program [depending on your plan, could cost subscription or per kb/data charge * if you want to use chat programs i suggest ebuddy or accessing meebo via a browser OVER wifi they are free]

Last time I checked, Media Hub wasn't working but would eventually be working [so I dunno if it'll cost or not].

Video Search is as the name implies, it's for looking up videos online

The other programs I don't know about ... but I can look if you want?

Hope that helps

So... I got my T-mobile HD2 last summer. and well, I've been living in a cave so i didn't know how amazing this phone can be.:eek:

I have the original rom and ran a official update to 3.14

Here are my few questions:

1) Is there anything I'll have to do differently to Flash WP7 if this is a T-MO HD2.

2) I've heard there's something about the radio. what exactly I'll have to do?

3) I looked at many tutorial videos and guides on youtube and Im getting confused. where should I start? HSPL and all those stuffs.

thanks for reading, If i posted at a wrong section please move me;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] PhoneConnect247:
1. There is nothing diffrent at all . all you do is this

-Hard SPL your phone

-Flash MAGLDR 1.12 or newer

-Flash WP7

2. At the time of me flashing WP7 I was also running WinMo 6.5 with the latest update 3.14. As far as I can tell the radio included in that update works flawlessly with WP7.

3. Like I said the process has been made very easy. Just google "HSPL3 for HD2"

and download both files found in the WP7 ROM post by DFT. That is all you need to upgrade.

[Adam General] inspiron41:
Basically anyone have any idea how to install the market? I tried installing latest built of the Android Market but it wont launch...
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
Did you try the normal set of steps to get the Market working? (Part 3 from this post)

Eg. Open Market (fail). Stop Google Services Framework and Market from Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Clear the cache / data for Google Services Framework and Market. Open the Market and you should receive an error message. Reboot the device and re-open the Market. It should go through this time. Some people then recommend rebooting one more time.

I don't have the Adam in my hands, so I can't test this right now. You can also use Titanium Backup to stop the apps and clear the cache / data which is attached to the bottom of this post.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
thanks for the info. i will try to get it installed. but unfortunate i gotta work now. so i wont have an answer until tonight
[Adam General] Dougie2187:
Doesn't the market have to be put in /system/app? And at that point you need root to install it? I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but that's my understanding.

I'm honestly not sure. I've always done the Market fix from ROMs that had the market pre-packaged, but not working. Unfortunately, I don't have any devices to test... still waiting on my Adam to be shipped (on the 29th). Perhaps someone with more Market fix experience can chime in... or some research on other parts of XDA might be helpful.
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
It looks like some of the devs (from the G-Tab forums) are already on top of things... check out some of the threads from the Development section. Specifically, in this thread, rothnic has already released an update.zip package that adds root access and the stock Google Apps.

It also looks like Roebeet from the G-tablet section has also installed the NI firmware on his gtablet which means we should expect some benefits to bleed over from the work they do for the G-tablet.
