Theoritically we will be able to unlock a lot of stuff including HD video with root. Someone will figure out how to get it going I am sure.

Guys I have Nexus S i9020T runnig Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version I9020XXKD1, Build number GRJ22. I have looked around a lot and am confused on how to root my phone, is there any simple way of rooting my phone with super user? I run a very old PC so installing the sdk is pretty hard, so could anyone give me a step by step simple tutorial? This is my first Android phone and am a complete noob at this
Did you read the sticky yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
It's a step-by-step tutorial and exactly how you should do it.
The SDK shouldn't really be a strain for your PC.
Good luck,
Greetz
You don't need the entire SDK. Grab PDAnet USB divers and then choose to download just the 2.3.3 SDK and Google USB drivers from the SDK. Worked fine for me this way. You don't need all the stuff the SDK wants to install by default.

Will I be able to use this method for my Nexus S running 2.3.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
Is there any way to root without the SDK? I heard there was some problem with the fast boot oem? People were getting stuck at the Google screen?

Yes that guide works regardless of what Android version you're using because Android version is not a factor. It's the bootloader.
No, it is impossible to root without the SDK because you have to unlock the bootloader using the SDK. You won't get stuck at the Google screen. People are messing up because they're unable to follow instructions.

I've helped people in this topic many times.
The easiest way I can say is to first download the Android SDK listed in that step-by-step thread. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't be scared to do it. Unless you're flashing something for another model of the phone (such as NS4G) everything should be fixable.
Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your respective OS. If its for windows, I know it says recommended for exe but I prefer using the .zip version of it. So download that first if you haven't already.

Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can respond right away. But if you're able to do it now, that would be the best and I can help you step-by-step to achieve this. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

It's afternoon here. I'll be on but I can't promise anything being on XDA because I may be busy. Like I said, right now is the best time if its possible. The exe is fine, you don't have to re-download it but I have no idea where the exe is installing the SDK to.

I'm on.. like I said, I don't browse XDA 24/7. You want my help, I'm not going to come looking for you.
If your internet is really slow and you have to download ROMs after rooting. It might be rough on your end because ROMs are at least ~80MB+

I'm done downloading the SDK, I am downloading the JDK right now, will install both immediately. I will try the guide, can I PM you if I have any problem, reply whenever you are free, I will wait and could you give me a link or names to the roms I will need? I will keep them on download while I install the SDK.

Don't know why you're downloading the JDK but okay. Extract it and rename the folder android-sdk-windows-r12 to /sdk/ and place it on the root of your C drive. So it'd be located in C:\sdk\
You need to put your phone into bootloader mode (while phone is off; VOL UP + Power) while plugged in. Do what the instructions say and set up the drivers.
The step-by-step guide is self-explanatory. I don't really want to paraphrase what the guide says because it's pretty simple. Follow the guide you linked earlier and tell me if you experience any problems or have problems understanding what is being asked.
Edit: In part 2, where it says:
switch to the directory where you downloaded & unzipped the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It'll be cd C:\sdk\tools\
(I rename it to sdk because its easier to type than android-sdk-windows-
Edit 2: In part 2 where it tells you to get clockwork 3.0.0.5, disregard that
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3is5c9n5fi1sd6 instead
when you finish downloading it, place it in C:\sdk\tools\
and type:
fastboot flash recovery 4002-orange.img

This is a newer version of the Recovery and it should function better.

Don't be sorry. Just learn to search. Hell or even just go into the correct section and just open your eyes.

Lil harsh but I thanked you anyway but I was asking what's the best way because it looks like its more than 1 way to do it.
To be fair, you could've been flamed way worse than that!
Best way to root is to follow the guide you understand the most and seems the clearest, or to use one of the one click solutions. One way is rarely better than another, but some are easier. Either way, you need to do some reading and understand what you're doing.
