I recent rooted my phone, using the gfree method, an it worked well for about two months. Then my phone bricked it self. I'm looking for a method that won't have this issue. When I had my first phone, it had full(perm) root.

You probably had the phone with a bad eMMC chip. Nothing you can do about that one.

What is the most simplest way to root? Is it the unrevoked method?

Tell us what you've done so far...
Basically when i plug the fone in, unrevoked detects thr phone and then it reboots the phone giving my the options:
Fastboot
Recovery
And cant remember the other two options off the top of my head. I dont know what to do from there

In the answer to the original question. Yes it works, but soft root only. You need v1.6.2 minimum, older dont support soft root.
Hi I've been trying to root my Nexus s from day one with no success is there a better way other than ADB for some reason I have no success on ADB

Hi there I just rooted last night so I'd be glad to help if I can!
Where are you getting stuck?

You shouldn't actually be using ADB, you should be using fastboot. First off, are you on a mac or a PC?
Not trying to thread jack but maybe you guys can help me. I'd like to upgrade my phone to 2.3.3, root, and use the voodoo sound and colors. Any help? Thanks.

Superboot is easy but I've never been a fan of how it mods your kernel. If you are on a mac you can use the link to the mac rooting guide in my signature

Yes it does. It doesn't do anything noticeable but its just as easy to just root the regular way and there is nothing being modified.

Ya its just a matter for those who want root without anything custom installed.
I've got a phone with the good chip. How likely is it that the phone will brick? Is gfree the way to go with rooting?
Good chip means you shouldn't brick.. Search button?

I appreciate it, I rooted with gfree before-looking for a personal opinion or two of someone who has had success with different methods.

visionary you mean the root.sh method correct?
Nope... I was going to use that too and it too failed, so I just temp rooted from visionary like the rh. Says but hit perm root after that instead of pushing those files thru since it didn't want to work.. so I really rooted all from visionary like I have on other devices.

Explain how I got s=off to me please then
I know I rebooted 5 times after each attempt and no s=off in bootloader then magically had it after visionary so something might've been delayed or whatever but I have s=off and root.

I attempted it.. but I always got some error that I had never seen before when pushing the files.
So I said wtf screw this! Rebooted phone for fresh boot, (checked for s=off in bootloader, it was on) hit temproot, Hit permroot now, rebooted to bootloader saw s=off so I threw CWM recovery and flashed a rom before my bipolar phone changed its mind

sorry forgot to mention im on 2.3.5 so no z4root will work
Sent from my N860 using xda premium
2.3.5? Which one?
ahhh i think he is using official 2.3 update so he should be gen3 and till have to tpt back to gen2 so hw will get 2.2 and then can root.
I see. Yes, he should revert back to GEN2 and try a ROM based on the 2.3.5 update (Swedish Snow for example).
let me clarify all of it.....i figured someone woulda had a way to root without using a pc....just a app like z4root or androot....but for gingerbread.

Ok I followed the rooting process I managed to downgrade it too 2.2.1 and have the s-on to s-off .
I don't see superuser and is my phone unlocked to use different carrier. Also I don't have recovery install because it said failed.

More details. What did you use to get S-Off? Did you use the "Attempt Permaroot" option in Visionary?
S-Off does not equal root. S-Off means the security flag is off which allows permanent rooting to take place, as well as writing to partitions.

If it doesn't work you have to reboot and try again. It uses an exploit that doesn't work 100% of the time.
