Re: Sorta one click root

Awesome method, was super easy. Easier than I thought. Hell, that was easier than modding the Palm pre.

Re: Sorta one click root

Will this work for version 2.3.5? I just updated last night.

Re: Sorta one click root

ok so did I do something wrong. After I rooted all of my pictures and everything was gone. Did I miss a step somewhere? I followed the instructions on the screen. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Yes, it works fine.

That is correct behavior, unlocking and rooting by this method causes your phone to do a factory reset which wipes all data. Not sure if there is a warning, there probably should be one if there isn't.

Re: Sorta one click root

That's ****ty but oh well. There might have been a warning and I might have missed it. I don't care so much about resetting it back uip. I just wish I would have backed up my pictures. oh well.

Re: Sorta one click root

Ok, so I rooted my phone before the update, and now after the update I appear to no longer be rooted. Do I have to go through the rooting process again (and have to wipe my phone again....sigh) or is there an easier way to regain root without having to wipe?

Re: Sorta one click root

if your bootloader is unlocked then no wiping will happen, however if you locked it again then yes there will be data lost.

as for new updates etc, this tool will work on the nexus s for the end of time

Re: Sorta one click root

I rooted it!!! So excited, did it the same night I got the phone. I rooted for wireless tether, but now that I'm rooted, I'm not sure where to find the wireless tether??

Search the market for "wireless tether". Install the root version. If you do that exact search, it should be the first entry that pops up.

Re: Sorta one click root

Thanks to shabby, I did the root. Easy peezy weezy.

I don't know if this is a question for this forum (probably better at XDA), but do you think that a non-wipe root will EVER be possible. I want to root my wife's Nexus S 4G but she will kill me if she loses her Angry Birds progress (no, really....). I can't find a way to figure out how to save this stuff without rooting (and therefore wiping).

Re: Sorta one click root

i wanna say my backup root has a paid version that lets you back up stuff without root.

There is an angry birds backup program in the market.

Re: Sorta one click root

I'm at the step where it says use volume up and down to choose the unluck option....but nothing on my phone is changing. It's still on the usb storage screen...I'm pretty bad at this stuff but anyone have any suggestions?

 

[pitmasterme]

Just got done rooting my awesome new nexus! Thanks for this one click, worked great!

ahhhhh...........gone todash..............

Re: Sorta one click root

I downloaded wireless tether last night, but I cannot get it to work. I'm googling for help, but if anyone has any advice, please let me know --- I can't get my laptop's wireless to see it, nor the desktop's wireless stick (netgear). Thanks.

Re: Sorta one click root

Is there any documentation on how to re-root after the update? I want to get back to root without wiping my SDCard LOL, so any instructions on how to gain root again would be awesome! (My bootloader is still unlocked....) Sorry if this is a noob question, but I am very new at Android...recently coming over from a Palm Pre.

Re: Sorta one click root

Cancel that last request...I figured it out. ::sheepish grin::

Re: Sorta one click root

Ok, so I installed the PDAnet drivers. Then I ran the run.bat file. I go through following the onscreen instructions. But I get to the part that says "Please look at your phone. Using volume up and volume down choose the unlock option, hit power to make the selection."

This step seems easy enough, but "unlock" isnt one of my options. The program rebooted my phone into fastboot mode and the only options are the following:

-reboot bootloader
-reboot
-recovery
-power off

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT...I have already applied the new update manually that came out today. Not sure if that matters.

Hello I am have the same issue as above. I am running Windows XP 32bit version. Any insight?

Re: Sorta one click root

Since I wanted to root just for Roam Control and Wireless tether (no rom change or anything), will I continue to get OTA updates? I just want to make sure...
