Not sure if its already possible to root the 2.2 official froyo or does any root method still work. Please send me link. Thx in advance
i think you can go back to 2.1 then get s-off so youn can root. search for it its here.
So downgrade.to 2.1 root it then update again to 2.2?
Downgrade, root, s-off, then 2.2
how would we flash clockwork mod recovery after we update to 2.2 again? Could we just download ROM manager if we have S-OFF and install recovery from there?
Was on the same boat. The "want froyo and root " thread has a good step by step. There are some files you will need to download.

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

Just search I have done it went from gb 2.3.4 to. 587, you just have to use flash tool to downgrade kernel then root with android emulator or something then flash back to. 587. I personally would do that install x parts v5 (cmw) or recovery x then install ultimate hd then mod ultimate hd
On the other case just unlock bootloader install kernel with cmw all ready on it, I am using rush and install custom roms
Hope this helps

Thanks for reply rooting done.... flashing new ROM
Hello all, I'm a newbie to this forum and rooting process.
So far I managed to root my XT610 (2.3.4 and 4.7.3 Kernel) I'm using GSM outside of US.
I wanted to install Ram Expander.
It said my kernel is not editeble. I looked for CM7 2.3.7 (v8). It told me to "Flash Recovery" What does that mean? I saw Clockworkmod Recovery. I installed Rom Manager, my device is not listed. I'm stuck right now. Please, can an expert guide me?
Thanks so much. (I'm sorry to be such a newbie, you can provide me links or pm me.)
-I installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper and clicked Bootstrap Recovery for now.
How did you root?

The links are bad. Do you still have the sbf files? Can you upload them?
Use Framaroot to have root access!
I already have root access. Up!
Hi guys, I know there are many posts regarding the different root methods out there, but I'm sorta new to this and I've been getting very confused.
I currently am running N900W8VLUBMJ1 rooted with the rdlv method, knox at 0x0.
Id like to update to the newest N900W8VLUBMJ4 and root that as well if possible.
What's the best method of doing this? If I lose the knox, I'm not too concerned. Rather not, but doesn't really matter.
In short, is there a specific process to follow when updating my already rooted device? Is it easier just for me to run a different bootloader?

Go with the same method again, use URDLV to create the firmware. This will keep your current boot loader, the new one (in MJ3 and above) triggers the counter with the URDLV obtained root.
But after, you will need to also flash the modem, and NON-HLOS file that is in the official firmware tar.

Thanks for clarifying!
So basically do the same thing as before using the universal method, and no need to flash back to original or anything right?

The URDLV method doesn't seem to wanna work for me:

I suppose this isn't possible then with N900W8VLUBMJ4?
Can I just flash the update with odin with the new bootloader etc? Will root still work?

Copy and paste the commands you've used for cygwin, there is a particular way I have to run it for it to work for me.

Wow Raven, your help is all over this forum today!
Anyways, heres what I got:
C:\rdlv>urdlv csc C:\rdlv\N900W8VLUBMJ4_N900W8OYABMJ4_N900W8VLUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md5
or
C:\rdlv>urdlv full C:\rdlv\N900W8VLUBMJ4_N900W8OYABMJ4_N900W8VLUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md5
Same results as above with both.

This is a Canadian phone?
All I did was update the firmware using KIES 3.1... lost root but I simply used VROOT to regain root and WINAM to reset to OFFICIAL status,,, which still allows OTA updates.
Don't worry about all the comment about been a Chinese SuperSU (new version 1.7.2.4200 interface is in English anyway.) and simply install it.
Make sure to reinstall the Xposed App and that it has root access.
Enjoy

thanks for the response.
I just updated via odin to the newest firmware. I figured why not.
So I guess all I need to do is vroot to complete that method. If I'm going to trip knox (which I havent yet) aren't I better off with a custom recovery anyways? Did vroot trip yours?

Nope.. mine did not trip... and using WINAM, I regained Official Status and I am now able to check for OTA,s
simply go into your Xposed installer apps and reinstall the framework (app_process)
Make sure you keep an eye on your phone while connected to the PC and rooting with VRoot... It will ask for authorization to install some xtra software and warnings will be popping up on your cellphone... just allow them.
You will retain Knox 0x0
After I updated, my wifi password keeps getting forgotten every time I turn off the wifi.
So I have to enter the password back every time.
Any one on MJ4 have or NOT have this problem?

thanks for this info, but I decided to bite the bullet and just install a custom recovery. I figure, eventually when some nice 4.4 roms or something come out we will all be willing to trip anyways. Hope to not have any warranty issues.
Thanks for this info though, I'm sure it will help a few people!
Sorry, what is WINAM? I would also like to keep the "Offical Status" if possible. How do I do so?
thanks
