Do you have SDK and working fastboot? That is step one.
Yep
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
*note* i did not develop this method entirely i scrapped it together from multiple posts found here on xda. I give credit to those who did the work first. it worked fine for me hopefully it works for you too.
download sdk tools and install
download fastboot drivers and install
both found here
after that, download clockwork recovery
also download superuser files you want eclair/froyo su it works for gingerbread too.
open command prompt and enter the following
Code:
fastboot devices
if it doesn't return your phone in the following line double check that your fastboot drivers are properly installed.
if it does enter the following
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
follow the onscreen prompt on your phone. volume up to "yes" and hit power to confirm
Your phone is now unlocked. next step installing a recovery.
navigate to the folder where the clockwork recovery image is located.
Code:
cd C:\users\#username#\downloads
or wherever the file is on your pc.
then enter the following
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img
you now have a proper recovery installed on your phone you may now vol dn to recovery and hit power to confirm
VERY IMPORTANT
in recovery vol dn to "backup and restore" power to confirm
select Backup and hit power again.
you just created a nandroid backup of your phone if you ever mess it up you can restore it back to when it was stock and problem free
In recovery vol dn to "mounts and storage" power to confirm
then choose "Mount USB storage"
copy the SU zip to the root of your phone's storage
then "Unmount"
then "+++++Go Back+++++"
then "install zip from sdcard"
then "choose zip from sdcard"
Choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
then select "Yes - Install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"
Reboot your phone and you should now have a stock rooted phone.
Ty Joe I will do this as soon as I get home

Just remember to make a nandroid backup in clockwork after you're done rooting, so you always have a working setup to fall back on if something should go wrong in the future

i just came from the evo and rooted that phone way before any one click roots where out. Trust me the nexus s is 100 times easier to root than any other phone it's actually pretty quick and easy, i just went into great detail so anyone could be able to follow it hopefully. I think i have seen some 1 click roots for the ns but i never looked into them once i saw how relatively pain free it is to do this way.
i remember having to copy and paste adb commands and spamming them while my phone rebooted. and hopefully... hopefully it would unlock the evo.
just out of curiousity as i wont know until tomorrow, but does gingerbreak work? if so just using the sdk and using adb to push it seems like it would be faster..

Yes there has been success using that. You could i suppose gain root with gingerbreak and then use that to flash clockwork recovery. You would be rooted and able to flash Roms through clockwork. Bootloader would remain locked.
Thanks all. I'll try this later tonight and report back. I've seen a few root methods around here but wanted to make sure it was no different for the ns4g before I actually got into it.
So to confirm one more time Joe's method he posted here should work for the ns4g as well, right?

Yeah for sure, I'm not saying its good or bad. Just pointing out the difference in that method. Some people prefer to keep the bootloader locked anyway. Unlocking it is always one command line away.

Install clockwork 3.0.2.4
Make sure you've renamed the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script (if you haven't already) as well so clockwork isn't overwritten by the stock recovery.

Good to go I think - thanks netarchy!
So for you all that are trying to follow joe's steps, they are correct except the download linked in his post will give you the 3.0.0.4 version of Clockwork and you need the one referenced by netarchy (3.0.2.4). All worked as planned after that.
Rooted and ready to flash netarchy's kernel on ns4g!
So i tried to root my phone using one of the tutorials and ended up with a padlock screen on my phone. after researching i ALOT i decided on hard reseting my phone from the recovery menu. but all i see now is the google logo i believe i have deleted the 2.3.4 while reseting. can someone guide me from here. i am a n00b and i have had this phone for just 2 days. thanks in advance

Please be more specific.
What tutorial did you use?
Did you download clockwork recovery?
Do you have the superuser zip?
If you can enable fast boot and fastboot flash recovery you should be able to mount your usb storage in CWM and then install a ROM and the su zip.

i used the one mentioned in addictive tips website (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-s-with-a-single-click-using-superboot/). i basically followed what these guys had mentioned.
since this failed i read that the other option is to go through fastboot > recovery > and clear everything but this did not change anything.
can someone give me a step by step guideline on how to continue. i dont mind going back to the stock 2.3.4 android. i just bought the phone yesterday
Which version do you have? The sprint or t mobile? Check if you can go into fast boot hold down volume up and then powerbutton. If not you may have to Odin it if not. That super one click looks old..

If your ROM flashed incorrectly, it would lead to your phone being in a state where it just shows a GOOGLE with a Padlock; kind of like turning on a computer without an operating system.
You would have to read the instructions on rooting your phone, which involves using fastboot and flash recovery from fastboot (All this is in the rooting guide). Simply reflash the recovery so you boot up back in recovery and try flash the rom again.
The same happened to me, I fixed it buy flashing a stock boot.img
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
thanks for the replies. how do i flash from the fastboot mode? when i plug it in to my computer i cant see the drive but my computer can detect the nexus s is plugged in
Set up adb first, they have the guides in the dev section, I used wolverines guide, you'll have to look for the software img, I don't know where it is at for the GSM model. Good luck
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Sounds like you're rooted and have recovery installed, but your OS is hosed.
Flash a ROM.
thanks for the replies guys. i have the adb setup on my laptop. i took it to one of the stores and he said he cant reflash it for some reason. he said he needs to get some software off samsung and it will take him a day. my phone is brand new and i didnt wanna trust him. do u guys think i should use odin? one of my friend has a galaxy s and he said odin should work fine on my phone.
Can you get into the ClockworkMod recovery menu? Turn the phone completely off then hold VolUp and Power until you get into Recovery.
If you get there, you're golden. Just download a ROM (I recommend Deck's) and away you go.
i can get into recovery but it gives me option like wipe everything and i selected that. but when i reboot the phone the same locked screen pops up. anyone from toronto here who i can contact?

Basically with those wipe commands you make the Rom unuseable. You have to flash a new one or apply it via Odin. There are various guides on this forum section. Odin requires less technical knowledge but is a bit more risky then flashing via recovery. Odin and the Roms for that method can be obtained from samfirmware.com. Zipped roms can be found in the development section here.

Hey Everyone,
So I was being impatient and wanted to change the Density of my LCD on my Nexus 7. I changed it from the stock DPI to 170 using LCD Density Modder on the Market. Ever since reboot I have not been able to get past the google screen when you first turn on device. I can get into bootloader as well. My bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted if that helps.
Is there any easy way to recover the device besides a adb, or fastboot method? If not, what are the adb, fastboot commands to flash the OTA image to device from my PC?
Thanks
Download the nexus root toolkit, it can turn everything stock.

I have the nexus root toolkit, but don't you need the device powered on to put in usb debugging mode, etc? All I can do is hit google splash screen and get into bootloader, recovery.
There's buttons that say revert to stock, I believe those work in recovery.

Whenever I try to flash stock + unroot I get error message, "Windows cannot find 'C:\\data\gnexwug_DLnX.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Im not trying to type in anything, all I am doing is trying to restore to stock.
did you make a nandroid backup?" i am goign through the same thing right now. I am goign to restore from backup.
To change the desinty, it must be manually done in build.prod i assume. LCD Density modder might not be compatible, yet.
edit: Crap, i cant boot to recovery for some reason :/
edit2: it seems the only way to boot into recovery now is from a ROM manager application. Ijust finished restoring using the Nexus Toolkit.
I finally figured how to get SDK going and restored via nexus root toolkit. Thanks guys!

Personally,
i booted into fastboot (all buttons if i remember correctly), then hit up the Tool Kit, go to advanced > temporary recovery, From there, i just restored my nandroid backup, or if you have any roms on there, just flash that.
You could do that, or once in fastboot and connected, you could just unlock, which will wipe everything.

Just using a file explorer (specifically, solid explorer but root explorer should also work), navigating to /system/build.prop, and changing the number ro.sf.lcd_density.
changing that particular number's easy, and the last app I tried somehow managed to make a second build.prop inside the same file. So yeah.
Don't forget to backup your build.prop (preferably externally as well, in case you need to flash it) before trying this. And/or make a nandroid.

Im not sure, i dont want to advise something that is wrong, but, no, it doesn't take extraordinarily long. How long has it been?
I would boot into fastboot again and try the other route (provided you have a rom on the device or hopefully, better yet, a nandroid)
If you're using the cwm recovery from the toolkit you must be plugged in to usb to access cwm from the bootloader menu. From there you can reflash whatever you want to fix it.

Not sure exactly what happened. I was using the tablet and all of a sudden the bottom three buttons disappeared as well as the top bar. The system kept getting force closes. I rebooted and it just sat in the reboot mode. I tried to recover from the system but that is not working. I cant seem to get the system to mount via usb now. I am in clockwork mod v5.8.0.2 and do not see an option. If I could mount it I could put an img file back on and get it to work. Any help would be great.

You could try to flash back the stock software to see if that helps? Look here for some help.
Are you running a custom ROM or anything else? ALSO, once you do manage to get everything fixed, I would upgrade your CWM to the most current version 6.0.1.0 by flashing this in the older (5.8.0.2) version.
Sounds like it might be permission related, you could try a 'fix permissions' in recovery

Did you download the nakasi file from the google site? You shouldn't have an issue with that. And you can update CWM using ADB, just check over in the Android Development section.

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed SuperSU. I live life on the edge!
At the time of the upgrade, I had flashed stock recovery and unfrozen Sprint Zone. I had also completely removed Xposed (uninstalled modules, disabled Xposed, and flashed Xposed-disaper.zip). I still had other root apps installed when I took the upgrade (TitaniumBackup and ROM Toolbox Pro). I have verified that they still work post-upgrade without additional work on my end.
If someone gets a copy of the ota zip faster than i upload it please message me a copy of your link and i will update the original post with it.

You need to have a completely stock system and the stock recovery installed. I manually flashed with super user still installed just fine but everything has to be completely stock straight out the box. To manually update you just download the zip in the OP.
1 boot into boot loader by holding volume down and power button
2 use volume key to scroll down to recovery press volume key up will put you into stock recovery with the red triangle.
3 to get to the menu screen in stock recovery you must hold volume key up then press power
4 choose to install from SD card and navigate to where the zip downloaded in this screen power button is used to select your choice. I moved the zip to the root of my SD but it usually will be found in downloads.
5 push power button to install ota manually. Be patient it will take a minute
I had it abort on me first try cause I forgot to change my fonts back to stock so be sure you are bone stock no tweaks or even V4A installed with STOCK RECOVERY.

SuperSU or Superuser, and what version if SuperSU. Last time I checked, SuperSU installed another system file incase the daemon method needed to be used.
