[ACS] Nexus S 4G AIO root & CWM flashable zips

[Austineasleyinfo]

I'll try it when I get home in about an hour. Thanks for your hard work on this. Once when get it working, I'll make sure to donate friday.

Edit:
So when I get to the mount sd card step, it gives me the ! android error again, but if I press a couple buttons, I can get into the:

android system recovery <3e>
Options are:
Reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

I don't have an option to mount my sd card, any ideas now?

 

[Austineasleyinfo]

So yeah, can't figure it out, still playing with it though.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

ok if you could be so kind, right before that could give give me the text output? seems liek its not flashing recovery

 

[Austineasleyinfo]

Here it is.
This is were I get to before the ! android. Any ideas? It's definitely not flashing recovery.

[Shabbypenguin]

ok i think i figured out the problem. sorry to be such a hassle

 

[Austineasleyinfo]

Got past the recovery, clockwordmod flashed. I got to the mount sd card, mounted that, pressed enter, and it's said "pushing files over" for the last 5 or so minutes. I don't want to interrupt it or screw anything up, but just wondering how long that should normally take.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

not that long i think its due to me trying to remove the reboot from recovery.sh

 

[Austineasleyinfo]

So what do I do now?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

i uploaded yet another version if you wanna try it

 

[Austineasleyinfo]

ok so its not a true one click but its pretty close, will walk you thru the whole thing

Update fully working


big shoutout to Austineasleyinfo for continued patience and testing

It definitely works, Shabbypenguin worked with me for awhile today to make sure we got it working. He was very patient and helpful. You can all root with no fear and it's very easy now.

I wish this worked for me. It got as far as to install CW recovery. I was able to finish things from there. Still easier than the original rooting method

Spent about 3 hours messing with long, drawn-out processes and then found this...worked absolutely perfect!!!

THANK YOU!!!

 

[Shabbypenguin]

glad it worked

hi im a newbie new to the android world as well ..... i wanna root my phone but dont want to lose everything where can i back up my files at thanks in advance

 

[Shabbypenguin]

mybackup i believe can backup without root

 

[ragnarokx]

mybackup i believe can backup without root

But only /system/app and not /data/app. So you'll loose any app settings or game progress if you backup without root.

Is there an easy way to unroot too? I just want to root to be able to get my app data, and don't really want to have to install all the SDKs and such

 

[Shabbypenguin]

no you only have to install the drivers included. as for unrooting [ROM] Samsung stock D720 for Nexus S 4G - xda-developers

 

[ortam]

Fantastic! Thanks a ton!
