Need Some Help

So I'm on the Latest official 2.2.1 from Motorola/ATT, but I'm having some issues.
My home button doesn't work at all and I can't get it to work despite my efforts. So I think I just need to do a factory reset and delete everything, I think my rooting and mods to my 2.1 soft ware may have messed everything up. Before I try this, will it delete all my text messages and stuff? or should I back them up with that SMS backup program?
Also, i'm having a hard time rooting it with SuperOneClick, it fails to work completely so does anybody know exactly what commands I need to just root via my terminal?

nevermind I figured it out. Here are the commands if anybody is interested:
./adbmac push psneuter /data/local/tmp
./adbmac push su-v2 /data/local/tmp
./adbmac push busybox /data/local/tmp
./adbmac shell
$ busybox chmod +x /data/local/tmp/psneuter
$ /data/local/tmp/psneuter
# exit
$ exit
./adbmac remount
./adbmac shell
# busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su-v2 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/su
# busybox ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
# busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin
# busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
# busybox chown 0.2000 /system/xbin/busybox
# exit
$ exit
./adbmac install Superuser.apk
./adbmac reboot

Have you tried flashing the 2.2 SBF using RSD Lite? I tried that for a different problem and it worked.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA Premium App

Ok I just reflashed it using the stock recovery then I wiped all the data(factory reset). I backed my stuff up first though. I was wrong in my previous post about how to root using terminal. To correctly root you need to follow this guide to the T. http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-one-running-android-2-2-1-from-ubuntu-linux/
I just flashed RC2 and it is loading now...

[TUTORIAL]How to manual root official 2.3

I always have problems to root official 2.3 with automatic ways, and found that this caused from some adb miscommunication.
So this is how to do it manual, in case automatic ways stacked.
First install adb-sdk and add its path to system variables, so to don't have to go to adb' s path before you can run it.
Then download doomlord' s rooting tool and extract it to drive C:\DoomLordRoot.v3.

Preparation steps on device:
1) Dial: *#*#2846579#*#*
2) Go to projectmenu > background settings > log settings > log switch > set Log on
3) Reboot Phone
4) Switch USB Debugging ON
5) uncheck fast boot from settings -> applications

This is basic what the runme.bat file does, just some paths corrected to point to the right locations.

I have the latest official gingerbread (I think v3) and have been trying to root with no luck. I've gone through the steps here but when try to get root access (su), it gives me permission denied...
Any ideas?

This probably means that rooting failed.
What messages you get when you run zergrush?

I got messages for sending 149, then 189 zerglings, then messages about not being able to mount, find or write to directories.
It seems like it wasn't able to get root access to be able to run its process.
In any case, I just downgraded to the previous release and then used ZergRush, which worked perfectly

don't work.

try this, it works for my B528 rom!

[GUIDE] Root Nexus-S 4.0.3 stock firmware without BL unlock

Thanks to nice Kernel exploid found by zx2c4 http://blog.zx2c4.com/749 and sauriks mempodroid https://github.com/saurik/mempodroid its now very easy to root the nexus-s 4.0.3 firmware without unlooking the BL.
You can just follow this howto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461736 but with this offsets kindly provided by saurik: 0xd7cc 0xad27
If you need a clockworkmod just download rom manager from the market and klick install clock work mod.
have fun

Thanks derpeter, I am looking for the related topic for several days!!!
Will try it later, thanks!!!

thank u dear <3

Worked great! Thanks!

Tested and works. Now running stock OTA rooted ICS.

Checked out the link. Though it stated that it is in the transformer prime thread, the adb commands are still the exact same for nexus s?

Yes the same process works you just have to replace the offsets as it says in the first post.
So the process for the Nexus S would be as follows...
Downloads:
mempodroid
su binary
adb push mempodroid /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
/data/local/mempodroid 0xd7cc 0xad27 sh
** You should now be in a remote shell session with root (indicated by #)
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
** IF you have previously rooted your Android, run the following two commands. They may throw an error that the file a file was not found.
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
cat /data/local/su > /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local/mempodroid
rm /data/local/su
exit
exit
adb reboot

Doesn't work for me. And it's annoying. These are the comands. I had done something bad?

FYI, this no longer works in 4.0.4. Found out the hard way when I forgot to re-enable the save root option in SuperSU after a nandroid.

The guide works perfectly. I have upgraded my I9020T to 4.0.4 from a AWS 4.0.3 WITHOUT wiping data! Thanks so much!

Sorry buddy. Nothing works. We 201m users are SOL.

Have you tried this?

No luck with that either. Appreciate the feedback, however.

I really want this thing rooted. How do one go about figuring out how to root it? I assume because of it's lack of popularity, no one has done it, but I'm willing to do the grunt work if there's some sort of guide or assistance. I changed over to DoCoMo with the GS4 and now have this paperweight that I would want to actually use.
Thanks!

Can confirm if the latest instructions have worked for your 201m?
That your rooted and bootloader unlock.
Thanks a bunch!

Boot loader is unlocked and CWM is installed. Initially I still
Had temp root so I flashed slim beans xt907 rom. It works. I'm unable to test data with it as I don't have a SoftBank sim. Also I still can't connect to the play store.

Thanks for the feedback.
Still awaiting more confirmation with others. It's a step forward though.
I've had my phone for almost a year now. If I cancel my softbank service or run the contract to the end I want an option to root and unlock the bootloader in the future.

could u provide more friendly filehost?
i can't find the download button there

Root! (temp root that is...)
I'm just posting to confirm I've rooted my 201m (xt902).
Props to sbeaber4!
From my limited knowledge since it's temp root if I restart my phone I lose root access...
Next step in the future unlock bootloader.
Peace y'all.

Found that if I a did restart my phone root was lost but I found a quick fix without going through the whole process again.
Just do these steps
unlock_security_module（temp root）
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp/
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./unlock_security_module
Just enter those three steps then you're back to temp root
Also you can just to a quick reboot with link2sd or any other app that just reboots the android ui. You don't have to enter commands every time you reboot unless it's a full reboot.

Once CWM is online you might be able to flash a VZW or Aussie stock ROM. Actually, you could probably flash CM... That'll fix the Japanese popups. Of course, it also could very possibly brick it. Proper precautions must be made... On my tablet at the moment, does anyone know if sbf.droid-developers has 902 images?
