mount /data
go back, and choose install zip from sd card
choose "choose zip from sd card"

it is for the i9023??

So after I flash 2.3.4 update, all I have to do is reboot and flash SuperUser again, and then Nexus S is re-rooted again?? Thanks!

You have to go back to stock GRI40, i.e. with a Nandroid restore?! But this will be the correct thread for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055591&page=12

hehe how on earth can someone provide real feedback on battery life 2 seconds after installation?
Thanks for sharing, I'll wait for Team Douche to implement this on CM7.

Trouble
Hi guys
I have some problems with root on 2.3.4
Probably I can not have any permissions for programms, such as ShootMe (for examle). Do you?

That probably means your phone is no longer rooted. Download 'Root Checker' from the Market to check, but if you installed 2.3.4 ROM, your phone should be un-rooted though.

In my app organizer I can see Superuser, but Root Checker also said me that I dont have root

Same situation/problem

For those stock rooted but bootloader locked 2.3.3 users that previously rooting using CWM recovery to update and superuser root method.
You can root the same way...but save the trouble of fastboot recovery step via PC which novice users could be stuck on getting fastboot usb driver to work properly.
0) Just installed ROM Manager (From Market) into your phone
1) Store both 2.3.4 update.zip and SuperUser.zip into SDCard
2) Run ROM Manager
3) Activate CWM Recovery
=> Make sure recovery is installed succesfully..check ROM Manager screen which tell whether the installation is successfully done.
4) Reboot recovery from ROM Manager App
5) Follow thread #1 on the rest
6) After applying update.zip..do not reboot...do a system mount from CWM Recovery then apply SuperUser.zip ..after completing all steps..do a reboot..
Voila your 2.3.4 is installed and rooted..

Thanks, but this way comes to late for me and some other users. We've flashed the update without rooting.
And now we need another way for root ...

gingerbread root question... help appreciated

So I got gingerbread, updated from rubix 2.01. Question is would z4root would to root it. Or do I absolutely have to sbf to 2.2 and get rooted gingerbread file? Thanks
the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work on 2.3 (z4root) so right now you will have to sbf and flash the prerooted one.

Yes. What they did was they took the .sbf file, and converted it into an update.zip format so we can flash it in recovery.
So just get the file in sbf format and stick it on sd card and go from there correct... thanks
Is Clockwork ROM Manager the same as Recovery? I looked in the Market, but it only brings up Clockwork ROM Manager in the search.
I would install ROM Manager on my phone, put the update.zip file in the root directory of the SD card and then run it with ROM Manager?

Yes clockworkmod is the same as the custom recovery. You need to get Droid 2 bootrstrap recovery app from the market. The droid 2 bootloader is locked, preventing us from completely flashing a custom recovery. the bootstrapper is the only way to get to clockwork.
hey OR, i got the bootstrap recovery unfortunately its not working. i got the correct one for the droid 2 but it keeps saying error running exec(). command and it list a lot of other writing as well. i also tried rom manager to reboot into recovery with the result of it saying error while trying to run privileged command.. what shall i do

Uninstall bootstrap and reinstall, be sure to give it su permission.
how do i assign it superuser again?
Is your phone rooted?
no i cant root it, cause it has the 2.3 leaked update on it... i put super user on it and it wont give me access to bootstrap until i install an update it said it put on my sd card but i cant reboot into recovery to even alow the superuser update... frustrating
Download SuperOneClick to computer, link to phone with USB debug on, click "root".
Voila!
Edit: Flash back to Froyo, root with SuperOneClick, bootstrap clockwork recovery, then install .zip file with rooted Gingerbread.
hey man i cannot ind a link to it, u got one? and it will work on 2.3 droid 2? thanks
figured it out

2.3.4 Update resets CW back to stock recovery

I have a Nexus S(I9023) and used the full Rom to update from 2.3.3 KB3 GRI54 to the 2.3.4 KD1 GRJ22 version, except I can't get my clockworkmod recovery to stick, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery with clockworkmod 3.0.2.5, and installed the superuser file, except each time I boot into the OS, and then boot back into recovery, the clockworkmod is gone, and I'm stuck with the stock recovery again.
What I did was the following procedure:
Odin flashed back to stock 2.3.3 - KB3 - GRI54
installed the full update 2.3.4 with the recovery
unlocked bootloader
flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.5
installed superuser
reboot
checked if superuser app was installed successfully - yes
reboot to recovery
And to my surprise the clockworkmod recovery was gone, and I was stuck with the stock recovery again.......
How do you make the CW stick and not have it reverted to the stock recovery?
There is a script that resets it. Been like that for a while. Look in the root threads on how to make it permanent

Tried looking in the Root threads, but can't find the solution, the funny thing is that I never had this before, only started after updating to 2.3.4.
There's a file in the system's /etc folder named install-recovery.sh. You need Root Explorer to rename it in order to prevent further installs. Mount the "etc" directory as writable using Root Explorer and rename the file (to for example: install-revocery.sh.old).
This will prevent the stock recovery from being installed in the future...

Yep. Also if you use this method you will still have to flash CWM one more time after you do what this poster says (the script runs when the phone boots) .

Can't run ROOT after Doom updates

Hey all,
So I've managed to upgrade to FW 4, Doom's latest kernel, & Doom's autoroot also. Thanks Doom
I still can't seem to get root working. When I go in to Superuser to try to update, I get the following:
su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip
reboot into recovery and flash it
I can't reboot into recovery (not sw cuz it's not rooted, hitting back key when powering on ignores me).
Anyone else know what I could try?
If you flashed to 4.0 first, then autoroot, then use kernel you will keep root and data.

Logseman told me to flash 4, kernel, then autoroot. Is this the wrong order? Have I lost my chance to root until Doom releases a new kernel?
I kept my data ok, just lost root... which is pants cuz the bloatware needs wiped before my sanity does :-/

If you have superuser you are rooted, if your using doomlords kernel there is no need to auto root as it comes with root. you dont need to update the app just the binaries, but you have the latest version with doomlords kernel so an update is not needed
worst comes to the worst, connect your device to flashtool and hit root

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I agree, def still rooted because i can delete sys apps through root explorer. I can't get Titanium to run - it reports I'm not rooted. Their "problems" link me to update Superuser but it compains re my 1st post that it can't update.
I uninstalled su, new install is 2.3.6.3 but it still refuses the update. Why I can't get into safe mode by hitting the back key on boot is strange too.
Don't know how to run Root from Flashtool, it's greyed out & sounds like I might lose data?
More idea's welcome

Yes.sorry for not mentioning that...
The original root.zip also installs a version of Superuser that doesn't work with stock ICS. You can go to the Superuser site and download the 3.1.3 ARM zip...that's what I ran when I rooted. Either way!

[Q] Rooted, but not Rooted??

Quick conundrum...
Rooted my 32bg Nexus7 a couple of days ago using the Nexus 7 toolkit.
I have an unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery installed . i did the all in option in the toolkit..
Just installed Titaanium backup, and it says i'm not rooted??
Root check says i am rooted !
Busybox says i'm not rooted
Superuser fails on updating binary (root acess)
So the 64K question..
Am i rooted or not?
if not ,how do i root properly?
Mart
Srsly? Please go back and root it manually. It will work.

fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash a custom recovery, flash either the su binaries or a custom rom in your new recovery, reboot. that is all.
all you need to do is have the drivers and fastboot installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395
If you go to terminal emulator and type in su, does the $ change to a #?

If you have access to directories like /system and /dev, you're rooted. If not, you're not. Skipsoft's Nexus 7 Toolkit works well. Just redo the root steps, watch for error messages, and use Super SU (not SuperUser), and you'll be fine.
This happened to me too so I re rooted it manually. I just followed this link:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ne...1477-guide-nexus-7-factory-image-restore.html
Wow this is getting confusing... ive got two or more guides open both with varying methods and files to install..
if i download the new SU files and reroot, then it wipes all files ? so how does having the SU work
As to reflashing a new binary, thats what i dont want, i just want a stock set up thas rooted.
Also re terminal? it that putty ? and go into the device that way?

all the binary will do is give you root/su, that is what you want. no more, no less. youll need the supersu app too, to grant su.

they dont go onto your pc. normally they would go into the titanium backup folder, but you have an option of storing them in the cloud(i use the google drive option, then just restore from there too).
