[GUIDE] [NS4G] Simple Root/Unroot

This guide is the easiest way to root and unroot your nexus s 4g. If you follow the instructions well you should be fine, included is odin and the files needed if something goes wrong, but it shouldn't as my 11 year old sister could follow them correctly. READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS PLEASE.
If your pc doesn't recognize your phone in fastboot make sure your sdk is up to date including thirdparty installs, and download pdanet trial version and those drivers will work. get drivers here http://hotfile.com/dl/92897696/7ae5290/drivers.rar.html
or if your not comfortable installing drivers download pdanet here and install as it will automatically install drivers for you
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
ROOTING..................
Ok download the files attached and extract them. For the first part for rooting you will need the:
superuser.zip
recovery3101.img
-Ok put the superuser.zip on the sdcard of your phone.
-Power off phone, when off hold volume up and power button to get to bootloader.
-Go the the tools folder of your android sdk and open command prompt and enter the following command: (easiest way is to hold shift and right click on tools folder and hit the button that says "open command window here" then type these command...
fastboot devices (make sure your device shows up, if not your drivers aren't installed)
fastboot oem unlock
-this will unlock the bootloader and you should follow the prompt and accept (volume up, then power button)
-Some have reported unlocking the bootloader erases sdcard..if so when you reboot after unlocking make sure to put superuser.zip back on sdcard.
-this should reboot your phone, now power off, when off hold volume up and then power button to get back to bootloader.
-place the recovery3101.img in the tools folder and type the following command
fastboot flash recovery recovery3101.img
-You should see it say flash ok in the command prompt, now scroll down (on phone) to recovery and hit the power button (ok button)
-Go to flash zip from sdcard and select the superuser.zip and let it flash.
-when done reboot phone, sign into google accnt, download rom manager, open up rom manager go down to All clockworkmod recoverys and flash 3.1.0 (the newest recovery doesn't work for me as my phone can't get into recovery that is why we are flashing the other one )
-All set you can flash other roms, MAKE SURE TO CREATE BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT STOCK ROOTED ROM FIRST.
UNROOTING.........
Get files http://www.4shared.com/file/N5g8Hav_/root.html?]
-download and extract files, we will be using odin, the 3 tar files.
-extract tar files to desktop along with odin.
-run odin and in the files section select the boxes bootloader, pda, phone.
-click the buttons next to each and direct it to the .tar files we extracted to desktop, so....
click the bootloader box, direct it to sph-d720-bootloader.tar ...then..
click the pda button direct it toward the sph-d720-pda.tar....then..
click the phone button and direct it toward sph-d720-phone.tar....
-now turn off your phone, when off hold volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously, then quickly press the power button....a huge yellow triangle will pop up and say "downloading'.......
plug your phone via usb to computer....odin should automatically see it.....click the start button in odin and let it do its thing and bam...all set.
If you want stock recovery too place the recovery.img in tools folder, open command prompt..type the following command..
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done.

Ill give this a try when I get home....but I'm sure you need to make sure you have all the correct drivers installed...or when you run the fast boo command it won't recognize your phone is connected.

Subbed for when I have time.
Since the NS4G doesn't have a SD Card where do you put the superuser zip?

This will work for the 3g version, correct?

yes it should work for 3g

No problem.

I can't seem to get this to work. I have Win7 64 and I used PDAnet to install the drivers but when I get to the part where I have to type "fastboot oem unlock" the command prompt just says < waiting for device > and there is nothing on the Nexus S 4g other than the normal fastboot options for me to select.

Make sure you installed the right drivers....reboot computer, make sure you opened the command prompt in the tools folder as that is where the fastboot commands are located....also it will automatically reboot in the "unlock bootloader menu" you don't select anything...until that menu comes up..make sure your sdk is updated as well..even third party installs..

I want to thank you, these are great instructions so far. I have been trying for days, got my phone unlocked by a mistake, had to Odin back (came from Epic so know and love that system), but it stayed unlocked.
I cannot get it rooted. Used your instructions and get to second part - cannot install fasboot recovery.
My files are in tools listed as recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.1-crespo4g. I ran fastboot, came up with a large square of instructions, not ok, with command and option. So I tried again. nothing
Then went to phone with it connected, tried to select from card the su file. It goes to yellow triangle and finally get back to a reboot.
I am so close, can you help with what I am doing wrong? It is not rooted and cannot get it to do anything.

[Q] MY HTC WILDFIRE bricked

i rooted my mobile using alpharev and it turned my s-off and installed clockwork recovery mod 3.0.0.6 ,later i downloaded cynogen mod 7, and while updating it hung on now it is not at all booting it just shows htc in boot screev and reeboots again and again pls help me

Go back into recovery, wipe data and cache and the reflash CM7

Its definitely not bricked, so dont worry. Firstly, make sure you have wiped all data in Clockworkmod (Wipe Data / Factory Reset Option, Wipe Cache Partition also Format /system under Advanced). Once you have done this, try reflashing the CM7 ROM File. It should work. Reboot into Recovery by turning off your phone, pressing Vol Down + Power, Navigating to Recovery, and Pressing Power Button on it.
If it still fails, it would be better to use an updated version of Clockworkmod Recovery. This solved the bootloop issue for a few users.

Please don't multi post. Update your Clockworkmod Recovery then. The guide can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680

I had nothing but trouble using recorver 3.0.0.6 . Recovery 3.1.0.2 amd 2.5.07 have worked flawless for me though.

could u pls tell me how to update Clockworkmod Recovery , i downloaded ur file but i dont know how to update it

could u pls tell me how to update Clockworkmod Recovery

- First, Download the attachment in that thread, Place it somewhere, like on your C Drive, in a Folder called Fastboot.
- Then, Download the Updated Clockworkmod Recovery (Again linked in that thread). Extract the Recovery.img file from within the Zip file and place it in the Fastboot folder created in the step before.
- Connect your Wildfire to your PC. Turn it off, and turn on in HBoot Mode. (When your phone is switched off, then Press Vol Down + Power Simultaneously. Then, Navigate to Fastboot using the Volume Keys, and Press the Power Button. Your Wildfire is now in Fastboot Mode.
- Then, Open Command Prompt, and put in the following. (I am assuming your folder is created in C > Fastboot)
cd\
cd Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(In the third step, I am assuming that the file name of the updated Clockworkmod Recovery is recovery.img) It will show two steps - Sending Recovery, and Writing Recovery. After this is done, your phone has the newer version of Clockworkmod Recovery and you can flash the ROM all over again and test.

Command Prompt is to be opened on your Windows PC. Not on your mobile. Once you have entered into Fastboot Mode and your Wildfire is connected to your PC, thats all you need to do.
Open Start Menu. Then Select Run. Then type "cmd" (Without Quotes) and Press Enter. This will open the Command Prompt. Then follow what I said before.
(Note - If your folders name is fast boot, then replace fastboot in the commands above with fast boot. It's basically the name of your folder).
Rename the IMG file you extracted to Recovery.img, it will typing the command easier.
Lastly, my only request to you - Make only 1 post at a time. Others here are normal members and not someone with the full day free . When you continuously post something, its frustrating to read and I dont feel like replying anymore to that person.

Dont worry about it. That was just my view.
Anyway, I hope the folder creation was correct. I hope that when you extracted the Android Win Tools folder into your C:\Fastboot folder, you deleted the original folder?
ie:, In your Fastboot folder, you shouldnt have any other folder/sub folder, and it must contain only these 4 files:
- adb.exe
- AdbWinApi.dll
- AdbWinUsbApi.dll
- Fastboot.exe
Once you have ensured this, then make sure you enter Fastboot mode on your Wildfire Correctly.
- Start HBoot mode
- Then Plug in the USB Cable
- Press Power Button, then another set 4 Options will appear, the first being Fastboot
- Then Press Power Button again
After this, try running the commands in command prompt again. Let me know how it goes.

And it you still face any issues with fastboot flashing, then see my sign for the post link to complete guide. Go there and download attached pc49img.zip and put it on your root of memory card (formatted previously with fat32 partition) . Then reboot to hboot menu to update the recovery. That's all.

Great, Hope they were followed by the words "OK". If so, you have the new Recovery 3.2.0.0 on your Wildfire.
Getting the hang of Fastboot is very important IMO. It helps flashing Recoveries in 1 go, and, also helps restoring Nandroid Restores, among many other features. I am glad you have experienced it, and, not gone the "PC49IMG" way.

HP slate 7 extreme a plain tegra note?

Just wondering if anybody's tried to flash tn7 ROMs on their s7e? And does the s7e read the same model number as the tegra note? P1640?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I've been stuck trying to figure out how to adb on my slate 7 extreme for weeks. Tried every driver and every cord and port. So while I'd love to confirm that it is the same... I'm still not sure.

Same here looking for a root
Sent from my HP Slate7 Extreme using xda app-developers app

I was able to root it after some playing around,
you need to use the universal naked drivers (Nvidia Shield) for both adb and fastboot.
To unlock you have to specifiy the vendorid to fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock
The util in the TN7 dev forum will not work out of the box for the S7E because it doesn't specify the vendor id to fastboot, but the supplied files will work (you can modify the .bat if you want to add the "-i 0x03F0" to fastboot). You can boot CWM to install root.
Installing the 4.4.2 system and boot partitions works and it will boot, however i am having trouble with it locking up a lot.

cool. What do you mean by locking up a lot? it often hang and jam? . So i guess, staying at 4.2.2 is the best for now?

It will work fine for up to about 10 minutes, then the screen will freeze and the only way to get it back is to hold the power down for 10 seconds and reboot it.
I am back on 4.2.2 right now, but when I have some extra time I might try a few things.

Is it possible to just have root set up on 4.2.2? Would like to keep all partitions stock if possible (as well as the bootloader). Would this help with stability issues? Sorry if these are noobish questions but thanks in advance

I tried a chinese program without luck. I just bought a keyboard which works with the wrong layout in 4.2 and works perfect with 4.4 which I have on my other devices..therefore I am really looking forward flashing it!

Almost plain tegra
Hi, I agree with @Mobilla I installed android 4.4.2 from this link but be extreme careful, backup your rom first, KitKat works fine but randomly android freeze all system, I tested ClockWorkMod recovery and work flashing root file SuperSU-v1.94.zip but I don't test backup from recovery, well maybe someone can help us to know why kitkat freeze chinese root method is complicated I rooted with this method I don't read chinese I click some buttons and it works. Sorry with my English, I'm from El Salvador, I speak Spanish

I couldn't run 4.4 more than about 10 minutes before locking up, so I went back to 4.2.2 (rooted).
You can download the stock 4.2.2 update.zip from HP's website if you experience the same issues
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6608632#N147
The rooting method is the same as for the TN7 with the exception of fastboot commands you need to specify the vendorid (e.g. fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock) I didn't try the Chinese tool.
You can flash root from recovery once it is unlocked.
I tried looking for what was causing the lockup but I couldn't find anything in the logs. If anyone has any tips for hunting down the problem I would be happy to try.

CWM
Hi, I tested CWM from this link and it works with nandroids backup, but the default storage is strange: /storage/emulated/sdcard0 but in this dir I can't move or delete that backup and use storage space I use a root explorer and can't move or delete, CWM works to root the device with SuperSU-v1.94.zip :good: but not for backup, see ya!

Rooting Slate 7 Extreme
Ok, so I played around with the Tegra Note tools and figured I'd be happy with root on 4.2.2 as it allows me to use link 2 sd to move apps to my sd card. What tripped me up was the vendor id for fastboot. I understood that I'd have to type it out with the unlock command but I just kept punching in 'fastboot devices' to check if the tablet was being detected by fastboot... obviously not the way to go. Hopefully this brief summary of what I did can be helpful to someone else:
1. Download Nvidia Tegra Note 7 Super Tool 2.2
2. While your tablet is off, enter fastboot by pressing volume up + power, you'll see a couple options here - press volume down once and then the power button to select fastboot protocol.
3. Get your usb cable and plug the tablet into your pc.
4. Run the impactor program included in the super tools bundle. Select 'driver scan' from the USB menu, this will load fastboot drivers for your tablet.
5. Start up a command prompt and move it over to the super tool directory
6. Make sure your tablet is seen by the pc by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 devices"
7. Unlock the bootloader by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock" you'll be warned that this voids your warranty, also you'll wipe anything currently installed on the tablet
8. Install CWM recovery by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 flash recovery Bat-CWM-Recovery.img"
9. Remove the usb cable and reboot (this is what I did, you can actually just use the command "fastboot -i 0x03F0 reboot")
10. Configure your freshly wiped device, reattach it to your pc with the usb cable and mount internal storage
11. Copy "SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from your tegra super tool folder over to internal storage
12. Turn off your tablet and re-enter fastboot by pressing volume up + power
13. Select recovery, you'll be in CWM. Select install zip from sd card, internal files will be shown so install the SuperSU zip you copied into internal storage earlier.
14. Reboot and you'll have root.
Hope this makes sense, I haven't had any problems with this setup and being able to move apps to the sd card is great.

Hi @duocdx.bt good tutotial in
9. Remove the usb cable and reboot
you can reboot with this command:
fastboot -i 0x03F0 reboot
:good:

9. Remove the usb cable and reboot
10. Configure your freshly wiped device, reattach it to your pc with the usb cable and mount internal storage
11. Copy "SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from your tegra super tool folder over to internal storage
12. Turn off your tablet and re-enter fastboot by pressing volume up + power
13. Select recovery, you'll be in CWM. Select install zip from sd card, internal files will be shown so install the SuperSU zip you copied into internal storage earlier.
14. Reboot and you'll have root.
Hope this makes sense, I haven't had any problems with this setup and being able to move apps to the sd card is great.

Thanks! Edited that in and fixed the link to the super tool. Hopefully this is clear enough to newer users such as myself Hopefully HP starts releasing stable updates for us but if not, things aren't too bad with root :good:

What can I do?
hi, I also install my hp slate 7 extreme with 4.4.2 tegra note7 version, like you my android is blocking a few minutes later, how I return to my 4.2.2 rom if I haven't the stock recovery but yes the update.zip from hp.

Ok, so I played around with the Tegra Note tools and figured I'd be happy with root on 4.2.2 as it allows me to use link 2 sd to move apps to my sd card. What tripped me up was the vendor id for fastboot. I understood that I'd have to type it out with the unlock command but I just kept punching in 'fastboot devices' to check if the tablet was being detected by fastboot... obviously not the way to go. Hopefully this brief summary of what I did can be helpful to someone else:
1. Download Nvidia Tegra Note 7 Super Tool 2.2
2. While your tablet is off, enter fastboot by pressing volume up + power, you'll see a couple options here - press volume down once and then the power button to select fastboot protocol.
3. Get your usb cable and plug the tablet into your pc.
4. Run the impactor program included in the super tools bundle. Select 'driver scan' from the USB menu, this will load fastboot drivers for your tablet.
5. Start up a command prompt and move it over to the super tool directory
6. Make sure your tablet is seen by the pc by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 devices"
7. Unlock the bootloader by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 oem unlock" you'll be warned that this voids your warranty, also you'll wipe anything currently installed on the tablet
8. Install CWM recovery by typing "fastboot -i 0x03F0 flash recovery Bat-CWM-Recovery.img"
9. Remove the usb cable and reboot (this is what I did, you can actually just use the command "fastboot -i 0x03F0 reboot")
10. Configure your freshly wiped device, reattach it to your pc with the usb cable and mount internal storage
11. Copy "SuperSU-v1.94.zip" from your tegra super tool folder over to internal storage
12. Turn off your tablet and re-enter fastboot by pressing volume up + power
13. Select recovery, you'll be in CWM. Select install zip from sd card, internal files will be shown so install the SuperSU zip you copied into internal storage earlier.

Succesfully rooted my HP Slate 7 Extreme 4409ra Tablet ty!

I have a Slate 7 Extreme 4400ca, and today installed the update listed on the HP webpage:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6617231#N147
after a non-destructive installation, 'about tablet' reports that I'm running ANdroid 4.3, kernel 3.4.57-gc102837
Not 4.4 yet, but this should be helpful.
I haven't tried rooting yet.

Just a update on a simple way to root stock 4.2.2 slate 7 extreme

I didn't duplicate.
I respect that post but that has been edited and the stock ROM for XT1022 has been added later to that post.

thanx

Is this working?
Which are the fastboot/adb commands?
All of them are to be executed when flashing?
My Phone isn't booting, how to flash Stock ROM?

Those are OTA, not Fastboot Files,Broo.
Thnx to this Broo for the Fastboot files,

lul
thank you

Can the rom zip file be flashed from the stock recovery?, i dont have twrp and my pc wont detect my phone when i its connected via usb cable. My moto e is bootloader unlocked, and its stuck at the bootloader unlocked warning message and i can boot to recovery, so i was thinking mabe i could flash the stock rom zip file from the stock recovery

Soooo, theoretically if one were to follow these same steps on a XT803C (Straight talk Moto E CDMA variant), would this boot or brick? Haha, sorry I know how tough that is to answer, but this phone is $26 on NewEgg & I'd love to break it, I don't care about modem working, it will never have service just wifi only, so I figured id ask xD

Thanks

i have stucked at bootloader while iam flashing it says preflash verification failed and i didn't even root my device,please help me

I can't thank you enough for this OP. You're a live saver.

hey guys i am stuck.......
this screenshot would explain it all.......
please help......

keityrobins said:
Hello. I would like to ask for help about our phone. As of now there are no working rooting method available and we cannot move apps to sd since asus disabled that option, our internal storage is therefore limiting us to install more apps. Anyone knows how to root it would be of great help.
Asus Zenfone Go has MT680 chipset running android 5.1.
