[GUIDE] Unlock bootloader for Nexus S

[*] shutdown the phone
[*]hold down volume up + power
[*]Now you are in the standard recovery mode
[*]assuming you have 2.3 SDK installed with fastboot (Google around for that info..), now on terminal/windows
or Windows cmd depending on OS type "fastboot devices" to check your device can be seem via USB
[*]assuming you device is seen via fastboot devices, now type "fastboot oem unlock"
[*]accept...and new bootloader is unlocked...
[*]now we need a custom recovery from clockworkmod or amon_ra, and we'll be good to go

Seems like a lot of people are having issues with the amd64 driver from the 2.3 SDK. Here's a workaround:
Go to the PdaNet homepage and download the Windows 7 x64 version of the PC software Download PdaNet
Make sure your phone is not connected to the computer. Install the app from PdaNet. Ignore the warning about HTC sync if you get it, that doesn't matter for what we're doing.
At the end of the PdaNet install, you'll be prompted to connect your phone. Make sure USB debugging is on, and connect to a high speed (as in not through a hub) USB port.
Follow the prompts and accept the unverified driver warning. Let it finish, then reboot your phone into fastboot mode -- power off, then hold volume UP and power.
Open the device manager in Windows (right click My Computer, properties, choose Device Manager from the list on the left.
Find the Android 1.0 entry, with the yellow exclamation mark beside it. Right click and choose to update the driver.
Select to search your computer for the driver manually, and point it at C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\. You will see a warning about an unknown/unsigned driver for sure this time, accept it.
When it finishes, at the command prompt (in the sdk\tools\ directory) type
Code:
fastboot devices
you should now see your Nexus S listed.

Thank you for this information

So easy??? Lol!!! The only reason i asume somebody could take that phone is this...
The really OPEN SOURCE ....

That was easy and fast.

We can't flash files through the stock recovery?

I dont understand..I did everything you stated but I dont get the option to type anything.

just a fyi. fastboot oem lock will relock the bootloader!!

You need to type it into the command prompt on the computer, not on your phone.

Any way to root without doing this?

someone help please before i lose my mind...

Technically, it's not rooted, but in essence, we all know that once the bootloader is unlocked, we can fastboot flash a custom recovery. And from there, we can flash custom roms or just the su and superuser.apk into the stock rom from recovery. So yea, it is kind of rooted.

[Fixed] Can't unroot nexus

I am trying to unroot my Nexus S and relock the boot loader. I've followed multiple guides and tried them on different computers (mac & windows). Every time I am supposed to type in "fastboot oem lock" and every time the command prompt just says waiting for device and nothing happens
I've installed the usb drivers from the android SDK so I'm lost as to why this is happening
I'm running the I9020T on Wind
Fix: Turns out it was just a driver issue, following these instructions got it working for me
Part 1 - Drivers
1 - Download Android SDK
2 - Unzip & launch "SDK Manager.exe"
3 - Cancel the first popup & go to "Available packages" > "Third party Add-ons" > "Google Inc."
4 - Select "Google USB Driver package" & click "Install Selected"
5 - Once you're finished go to your SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
6 - (MOD EDIT: Ignore this step for i9020A models) Open "android_winusb.inf" and add the following lines to both "[Google.NTx86]" and "[Google.NTamd64]" sections :
;
;Google Nexus S GT-i9023
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E20
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as described here [SOLVED] Google Android USB drivers - Nexus S SCLCD GT-i9023 not recognized
7 - Turn Off your SNS
8 - Make sure the SNS is connected to the PC via the USB cable
9 - Boot the SNS into the Bootloader Interface, by holding Volume UP & Power button
It reads LOCK STATE - LOCKED
Open Device Manager (or run devmgmt.msc) make sure you don't see this problem (windows failed to identify the SNS and install the correct drivers)
10 - Do a right click and select Update Driver Software
11 - Select Brose my computer for driver software
12 - Point it to your Android SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
13 - Make sure to CLICK "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
14 - Then from the list 3 choices select Android Bootloader Interface
15 - If it's installed properly it should show up like this (reboot is not required)
NOTE: if you encounter problems like question marks, unknown drivers, or exclamation marks eve after you have installed the drivers, download and try the USBDeview 32/64 to remove and uninstall all the junk USB devices from your computer/registry

Turn on usb debug inside the os.
Then do adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader do fastboot oem lock

Unfortunately i've tried that, nothing happens after I enter fastboot lock

Once you unlocked your bootloader you can not lock it again.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? Did you try a different usb cable?

1. connect the USB cable directly to USB port on the laptop/desktop; dont connect via monitor USB or extension
2. Open device manager and check if the device is detected as ADB; you need to have the drivers installed
3. perform "fastboot oem lock"

Although it probably didn't work because before I started the tutorial I installed a ROM which removed Clockwork recovery. I'm going to reroot my phone and try again from the beginning.
Edit: wait that's a lie, I did this a week ago so I'm not 100% sure what I did now, but I'm pretty sure I used the ROM from the guide

I've tried flashing a new recovery but I get the same "waiting for device" message
This makes me think it's a usb issue. I've been having usb issues for a while now, I've tried different cords and different computers. Is there any options I have left.
EDIT: Now I'm almost 100% sure the only thing standing in my way is the USB problems.

Try installing pdanet and using their drivers. Although i doubt this will work as im almost sure that the fastboot drivers arent the same as the adb drivers. Try disconnecting ng and reconnecting your phone on usb once you boot into bootloader.

[Q] Used fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0, now won't charge

So I am installing the Nexus 7 in my car as the head unit, but am now stuck with this issue.
I unlocked, and rooted the device, and used the fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0 command and it worked.
Anytime the Nexus 7 receives power it turns on.
However the device battery died completely and now when I plug it in to charge, the screen stays black, buttons do nothing, and eventually it boots up, but immediatley powers off as the battery is at 0 % and has the red ! mark.
I can't even use the fastboot command to reverse it since the device can't stay on.
What the heck can I do?

Type the reverse command and it will say "waiting for device". Connect your device and booting into bootloader even for a split second should push the command.

That's what I thought and I tried it, but nothing happened. It stayed in bootloader for about a minute but the command prompt stayed at waiting for device.
I'm not 100% sure but I think I used Nexus Root Toolkit to go back to the stock rom, which would have unrooted the device.
Which also means debugging is not active.
Does it need to be rooted and debug active to be able to push?
I know the bootloader still says unlocked.

@Username invalid
Yes, but will the command be executed before the device dies again?
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------
When you're in bootloader, you don't need debugging enabled since the fastboot protocol comes into play, not ADB (which requires debugging to be enabled). Root is also unnecessary. At least that's what I have learnt in the past 5 months I have had this.

No, you do not need be rooted or have USB debugging enabled to use Fastboot. What Android Bootloader Interface driver version do you have installed on your computer? Did you check by typing "fastboot devices" if your device is being recognized?

There is not enough time for me to set debugging on before the device dies. It stays on for maybe 5 seconds at the home screen then powers off.
Is there a way I could charge the battery a little bit bypassing the Nexus?
Can I splice in the pos and neg of the usb charger to the pos and neg of the battery?

I'd highly discourage the battery direct charging bit.

I'm not sure at all.
I used the R3 Nexus 7 Superboot to push the original command. I had downloaded fastboot from somewhere else, and put it in the Superboot folder to get it to push the command.
By the way sorry for taking so long to reply in between. Since I am a new user, I have to wait the 5 minutes in between posts.

Try booting into bootloader again then typing "fastboot devices". Also go to your computer Device Manager > Android Devices > Android Bootloader Interface > Properties.

What I have done is use Nexus Toolkit to uninstall, like it says, anything having to do with nexus, google, samsung, etc. I reboot the computer, wait for the tablet to turn on for a few seconds and then windows chimes in and says the usb device malfunctioned and could not be installed. It shows up in device manager as Unknown Device, and when I try to update the drivers, it says they are updated and won't use the ones I chose.
Have I not fully uninstalled the old ones?

Yeah I have a desktop I could try it on.
I've never plugged the Nexus in to the desktop, so it should be a complete clean install of drivers.
If Windows recognizes the nexus on the desktop, what should I do?
Do I need to uninstall anything it may install on its own?
I figure I will end up installing the drivers you previously provided.

Cannot get past "adb devices" command line

I have followed Heisenbergs instructions to the letter but when I issue the adb devices command it just returns the string "list of devices" and that's it. Fastboot devices doesn't work either.
So I'm stuck at the start. Can anyone help me? From what I can tell I may need drivers but I'm new to this so I don't know.
I can give anyone more info if they need it.

I believe part of the instructions are to install the Platform Tools, which should include drivers. Try running the SDK Manager and updating or installing the drivers again. Also ensure you have USB Debugging ON in your Developer settings and OEM Unlocking enabled. Lastly, tap the notification in your shade about the USB connection (I think it defaults to Charging Only) and change it to various modes. Mine seems to only work on PTP mode. When you run the adb devices command you will need to authorize the connection on the phone end the first time by clicking OK so make sure the screen is on and unlocked so you can see it.
Hope this helps.

Me personally do not get any strings of data returned when im on fastboot
i open CMD, run ADB DEVICES, get message saying the port is opening, and then listing devices... which is empty
but i am able to flash anything i want using fastboot....
try this command and see if it works after that... fastboot reboot-bootloader
it should reboot bootloader for u.. thats a easy way to know its responding to u

I had the same issue ,it was down to when I plugged the phone into the PC for the first time,it installed the Google.USB driver ,but it didn't install the driver for the adb interface,I had to download it from Google and install it manually

I also had the same issue, I had an old Clockworkmod generic driver that I was using for my Samsung Galaxy S5 installed.
Go to Device manager (either type it in the start menu, or: right click This PC, click manage, and click device manager), plug in your unlocked Nexus 6P phone and watch for a new item to pop up. If it says android something, uninstall it. I had to uninstall 3 times, then reinstall the drivers from the SDK before it would work.

I used the skipsoft toolkit to install the fb drivers; worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ol-skipsoft-android-toolkit-nexus-6p-t3234159

[HELP]Device not detecting in fastboot mode

I had installed Moto drivers and also enabled the usb debugging but my my device is not showing in fastboot mode.
Seriously need help.
Thank you.

Just to clarify, when you reboot your device into the bootloader (fastboot), if you type the command 'fastboot devices' (without quotes) in ADB, you get nothing showing up in the device list?
Which Moto drivers are you using, what device do you have and are you issuing the commands via minimal ADB or another ADB command tool?

If you're on Windows 10 with an UEFI firmware, I recall you need to disable driver signature enforcement if you wish to use fastboot. Credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70792544&postcount=2028
Hopefully it'll work with the Linux distro though

This was very helpful. Took me hours to find it but glad I did. On to step 2. lol How I was able to fix not being able to load anything in fastboot was this.
1. I right clicked on the Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi and selected uninstall. Repair did nothing.
2. Rt click view properties of Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit.msi.
3. On the general tab I noticed it was blocked so I unblocked it.
4. Then switched to Compatibility tab.
5. Selected run compatibility mode, any previous version of windows.
--This stops the version checker
6. Hit apply save and ran it.
