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

[Shabbypenguin]

your only installing one file. which the readme says to

 

[ortam]

You have to install PDAnet to have all the drivers available for the phone/usb connection. Then just follow the steps

"using volume up and down choose the unlock option"

I don't have that option. All I have are:

Reboot Bootloader
Reboot
Recovery
Power Off

Any ideas?

I'm just reading, is the lettering in blue? If so, that is stock recovery, you do not have CWM or it would
be orange and have additional choices.

You need to go back to start and try again. I did not use these files, I used the long way, it was easy looking back, but so many little things to do that can cause it not to work. For example, I kept using the computer command prompt, not knowing to right click in Platform Tools - wheh

Yeah........its blue. Not sure what CWM is or why I don't have it.

I have tried twice now.........still nothing. I liked the idea of this way of rooting because I'm not very comfortable with the process so having a way to do it where I can't screw up is ideal for me.

Oh.......never mind I figured it out. There was one more Android driver that needed to install.

Unlocked..........THANKS

Question.........I followed these instructions and I thought I was rooted, but I don't think I am. The phone is unlocked (it says so........unlock icon and in recovery it says its unlocked) but I don't think its technically "rooted". Is there a way I can just do the latter part of this process again that gives me the super user access I need without wiping my phone (again)?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

once your unlocked running the script again will just error at the unlock part, so no harm done

Figured as much, but I wanted to ask and be sure. I don't feel like bricking my phone tonight.

It worked! So again........thank you very much.

Will this work on a Mac?

I don't think so.. It uses the Command Prompt on windows to do the rooting so unless your running some kind of emulator or something, I don't think you can.. But I'm pretty ignorant about MACs so why not try to see if you can somehow do it.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

no its a windows batch only.. sorry ive been really busy i want to improve on it and make nix/osx script too

will this work for nexus s or is it just for the 4G model

[Shabbypenguin]
