hello, i rooted my phone using Visionary and checked root with setcpu. i tried installing clockwork through rom manager and it says it was succesful but when i reboot into recovery it still only has the blue text stock recovery. i then tried the fllash_image recovery method from terminal but it says image not found. ive tried searching everything i can with no luck. help would be greaty appreciated.
After you install ROM manager, open it and press Flash" " its like the first button
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681 Go to this thread and follow the instructions. Download the zip, go to recovery and flash the zip. Then you will have 3.0.0.6 recovery (orange color). Remember you have to pick 3.0.0.5 in "more recoveries" in rom manager after flashing.

Unless you turn s=off, flashing the recovery image will not stick. Its rewriting the image back to a factory recovery image.

The easiest method can be found @ the unlockr. Link .
That will only turn s=off, it will not flash the engineering screen so chances of bricking your phone are extremely low.
How ever the most effective way to root your phone can be found in our development section under the "ultimate guide" it's stuck to the top.
The other know i would HIGHLY suggest is not flashing the recovery Image that comes with Clockwork ROM Manger. But rather flash the 3.0.0.6. I have two links in my signature that will cover that. Trueblues will will allow you to do easily, and the other link will tell you why to use the 3.0.0.6 and how to do it with the ADB commands.

I can unlock my nexus but ı can't install amonra's recovery moda and i cant root it
What can I do now?
(sorry to my bad English)
What happens when you try to flash amon's recovery?
Make sure to follow directions and that the install recovery script isn't running because it will over write amon's.

every time i try to root it remderd my device usless. I will have a fully functioning unit before then when i root the device wont connect to my carrier and it stays like that until i restore a backup.
So I flashed a new version of Ra's recovery, have the superboot installed, still nothing!!!
Can someone please direct me to the a step by step guide on how to Root and put CM7 on the Nexus S i9020a variant? Most of the stickies are for the T-mobile version and Its getting to be a bit confusing on which guide to follow. Please help this noobie!!!
use gingerbreak then rom manager it's that simple
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Quick note once you install CM7 do not use the 2g/3g feature it will break your 3g
Break 3g? as in damage it permanently? Thanks for the link for gingerbreak so basically that will root my nexus s then I can install CM 7 with out any special instructions since it has different radio compared to the tmobile version?
i used gingerbreak then rom manager to install clockwork recovery and CM7. Do some reading the 3g bug for I9020A has been discussed a few times. Just stay away from the 2g/3g toggle and everything will be fine. I don't think it permanently breaks it just is a pain in the A to fix. I have a I9020A and this was the simplest way I've found.
don't we have to flash a clockwork compatible kernel first, before flashing cm7?
Also, doesn't clockwork rom manager fail on sns? I have cwr from the main stickies, but rom manager doesn't see it (it works), and can't download roms, unless cwr from rom manager, which I heard fails.

So I downloaded CM7 7.0.2 - and gapps - flashed in order (nandroid first) and voila! no hastle! This ROM is great!
No, those are the only steps i took
CM7 comes with its own AOSP kernel. Just flash the rom, you'll get the kernel bundled. (Of course you can always use a great kernel from the developers thread) don't forget to flash gapps.

He means don't use the 2g/3g toggle widget as that will cause some problems, it hasn't been fixed yet. If you do want to change it though, do it manually through the settings.

I tried using gingerbreak on my i9020a but it runs for longer than 15 mins so I guess it doesn't work. What are my other options for rooting?
edit: I guess it's because I installed 2.3.6.. is it possible to downgrade easily?

Follow one of the root guides, all you really need to do is unlock the bootloader and install Clockwork Recovery.
Once that is done, download the zip for cm7 and use CWM to flash it.

Agreed, but it's a matter of getting the correct CWM image for our phones. Also, for people who are setting up their phones for the first time, the drivers needed for fastboot need to be installed, fastboot/SDK needs to be downloaded etc...
Hence why i referenced the rooting guides.

Yep, it's just the color you want your recovery to be. I flashed the cyan a couple of days ago for somebody else and no issues.. typical clockwork recovery
So I flashed the recovery file, but when I boot into recovery now, there's just the triangle with the ! in it and nothing happens.. did I do something wrong?

How did you flash it? That's the stock recovery.. should be 'fastboot flash recovery nameof.img' without quotes obviously.

first make sure your s-off. Pull the battery, hold the down volume button and the power button. Will be on the top line.
to get out of that recovery just pull the battery. To flash a custom recovery image just download ROM manager and select the top option. just downloading the Clockwork ROM Manager will not automatically install the recovery image.
As far as ROMs go there is a plethora of choices in the development section. Sense 3.0 or Cyanogen are my two favorites.
I'd also check out the "post your eMMC serial" number thread to make sure you have a good eMMC. a bad one can end up ugly.
thanks for the help. It does say s-off and i just flashed the clockwork recovery from rom manager app. When i do the adb shell for commands on the PC it doesnt give me the emmc serial #. it puts $ and when i put su it says permission denied. Do you know why?
Did you actually click permaroot in visionary

You need to do it from the recovery image. You need to have ADB up and working see my signature. Once
Code:
adb devices
picks up your phone, you need to return to the eMMC thread.
I did it from the recovery image and it still didnt work although adb devices put my device # on it
Hi guys, I'm new to this. I followed the exact instructions from Cyanogen Wiki on how to install Clockworkmod Recovery on a stock (2.2 Froyo) Vz Fascinate using Heimdall. I got the blue bar in download mode showing that 'recovery.bin' was successfully loaded onto the phone, but then when I try to boot in it (3-button method), I get the blue (3e) Recovery (probably the stock one). So, when I try to flash CM7, I get a "file verification failed" or similar message, probably because stock recovery doesn't allow custom roms. I have no idea what to do next. I've tried flashing clockworkmod again, tried again and again...same thing (I've also tried recovery boot from ADB, same thing, I get the blue (3e) recovery). I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks for the reply. I just did it with Odin following your instructions, worked flawlessly. I don't get it why it doesn't work with Heimdall (and why CM folks use Heimdall). One thing though, I didn't remove the battery at all during the process . Thanks bro.

If your on cm7 your already rooted. Although If for some reason you need to root a stock rom, check out section:5 of my guide a couple threads down. If it helps ya hit the thanks button.

Hi, a bit of noob but i did googled alot
My plan was:
Unlock and root with nexus 4 toolkit.
Do nandroid backup
Flash PA rom.
step 1 went okay,
afterwards i tried to go to recovery mode inorder to backup but i got the lying android with the red warning sign.
I did backup using Rom Manager and nexus 4 toolkit but I'm worried I can't get to recovery mode if something goes wrong.
How shall I proceed before flashing the rom?
The robot lying on it's back is the stock recovery. You need to flash CWM/TWRP before you can do a Nandroid

Do yourself a favour and learn how to use ADB instead of toolkits that do more harm than good if used by inexperienced users and you`ll learn to do it the right way.

If you have Rom Manager Installed and are rooted you should be able to install CWM thru it.
don't have flash recovery on rom manager
I don't have the the "Flash CWM" recovery option on rom manager,
I've attached a screen of what I do have,
I did explore the Recovery Setup but wasn't able to do anything usefull.
Any advice?

according to ROM Manager you already have CWM installed and its up to date. Have you tried booting into recovery using ROM Manager?
When I press reboot to recovery directly from rom manager it works...
I'm just affraid that in case that I brick or mess up something I won't be able to get to stock recovery mode.
volume down + power button = bootloader (android on his back) also called fastboot mode
use volume buttons to scroll to recovery then press power button to select it
you should then be in CWM recovery if its installed correctly.
If you are using a custom recovery your stock recovery is gone. You would have to use fastboot to flash the stock recovery image back onto the phone. Its rather simple to do as is flashing the stock image file back onto the phone.
that is why I started this thread.
After I Unlocked and rooted I wasn't able to fastboot and go to recovery mode, it showed my the android on his back.
I've tried it again now and it still doesn't work.
but when I boot directly from rom manager it works...
Edit: I posted before you edited your comment.
even though I don't know adb, should I learn and follow this guide?

There is a bug that restores the stock recovery after a reboot and there should be an option in the root toolkit to fix it. Not saying this is what happened but it may have. The stock recovery is stored in system memory somewhere and the bug fix just removes it so it won't restore itself after reboot.
