Hi,
Noob couple of questions, my apologies.
My nexus S has GRH78C firmware but I see other posts on here regarding a version ending in 40.
Is there a specific version of 2.3.3 I need or are they the same ? (if so a link would help )
Also, can I root 2.3.3 using the superboot method ?
Cheers

if you have clockwork mod use this as a restore and you will have a rooted 2.3.3 its the easiest way to do it.

just unzip and put the backup folder in your clockworkmod recovery folder boot into recovery and restore 2.3.3 takes 2 minutes and you will boot up with a rooted 2.3.3
Worked a treat... Thanks very much
No problem

Please help..
Plus is it possible to update to 2.3.3 ?! I tried a lot but I always received an error
Thanks in advance

You can download the full 2.3.3 rom here and it should be completely unrooted. Just flash it through CWM.
Thanks a lot
Hello,
Does it works ?
Do you have recovered your Nexus S without superuser function as it was first ?
If it's possible, where can i find the orginal build 2.3.2, i have only a link for 2.3.3 ?
Thanks.

No, you do flash an insecure kernel (ex. Chainfire's) and then you start the phone and open SuperOneClick (download in forum) and press Root. Then you can flash back the original kernel.
As said in dev section Chainfires root kernel.
Flash Chainfires kernel
Use super one click to root as instructed .
Flash kernel only latest firmware .

Question
Hey guyz I have a question and I'm not sure if it's related to this thread but I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me. I just bought a new SGS 2 and I was suspicious that it's a used/referb one, the seller told me it's new. but then again after i got home, I installed root checker and found out that busybox is already installed. can anyone confirm that SGS 2 comes with busybox installed or not?
thanks alot.
Only if rooted not from Samsung stock firmware.

Thank you. I knew there must be something wrong with it. I hope I can get a refund.
I rooted my a500 a couple months ago and want to unroot it. I did do a search first before posting and I saw that I can flash it back to stock using the downgrade tools listed in the forums. But a link wasn't provided in that thread and I'm not sure where to find the downgrade tools.
Can someone link me to the downgrade tools or a method to unroot my device?
I'm running android version 4.0.3.
Thanks for your help!

If i'm reading this correctly i can choose the correct firmware and reinstall it on my device and it will be unrooted in the process. Is that correct?
What about any apps i downloaded before i orignally rooted my device, will i be able redownload those? I dont think i have anything that i need to back up, i dont do much on my tablet except surf the web.
Hi,
As above, how do i downgrade from 4.3 to 4.22 android? I was on 4.22 Honami rom. I then upgraded to 4.3 honami rom using recovery to flash the new firmware. I have realised that i have lost root access so i want to go back to 4.22 for the time being.
I have read about losing IMEI etc by downgrading so if someone can guide me to the safest method to get back on to 4.22.
This is my first post in a long while so be gentle. If this thread has been opened before than please advise me to it so i can close this one.
Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you lot.
Cheers

Read the forum rules, do not post questions in general section.
Download a FTF file that you want and flash it with flashtool, never lost my imei number, but I was just using stocks roms.

I have done it twice, with no issues. Take a nandroid type backup if you are concerned, so you can restore back as it was

not sure if you have reverted yet, but I have root on 4.3
Used SEUS to flash to latest stock FW. (4.3)
Then unlocked bootloader, and flashed CWM using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2588331
Then flashed the latest SuperSU via CWM, and successfully obtained root.

Hey there.

Hello everybody!
I thought about opening this new thread to build up a how to guide for everybody who is runing on android 4.3!
This guid should use a method without the need to unlock ur bootloader. So far as I know an older version has to be flashed with flashtool/downgrade! After using the old version this version has to be rooted with the right solution (kingo for the older versions/other root method which can be found as a video/search function). Afte rthis you have to do a OTA upgrade and u should keep ur root status. A full wipe is recommended to avoid problems I'm using the sony backup app and helium backup bye clockworkmod. Anybody better suggestions.
Thanks guys!!
It this root Full or partial? :|||
