The Superboot root method boot.img for 2.3.2 is now live thanks to Paul over at Android @ MoDaCo.
"Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!"
Using Superboot
- Download the zip file and extract
- Connect Nexus S via USB cable (with debugging enabled - Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debuggging")
- Boot into bootloader mode - (Turn on while holding 'volume up')
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
*Again, All credit goes to Paul at Android @ MoDaCo*
Cool I'm rooted already but nice to see easier ways of doing it for the noobs. Appreciate the work.

2.3.2
can u do this being rooted or do you have to revert to stock
For some reason this didn't work for me. I tried it twice but each time the phone rebooted I still didn't have root. Do I have to unlock fastboot?

Yes. These instructions assume you have already unlocked your bootloader.

maybe a noob question: if I just root my Nexus S using this method (no custom rom installation), will I still be able to get OTA updates from google?

Yes. You may have to re-root after updates but your phone will prompt you when OTA updates are available just like normal.

Figures. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time. I think I even remember unlocking it last time I rooted this way. I guess I should just leave it permanently unlocked then so it doesn't keep wiping every time I go to root after an update.
Hi,
I can't get it to work on my mac.
When I put the renamed as "superboot" folder on the desktop, I open the terminal and type in:
~/Desktop/superboot/chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh./install-superboot-mac.sh
it doesn't find that path.
Could somebody help me as a noob?
Thank you!
Am I the only one that did not lose root after the latest 2.3.2 update?

Thank you. This seems simple. I'm stuck with my XP recognizing my Nexus S USB Driver after installing SDK and Google USB Driver even after trying to "update" driver under Device Manager and redirect the directory to Google USB Driver? I'm very confused.

Ok buddy heres what you need to do, on the MAC, this is how i do it.:
DL the .zip in the OP.
Extract it on you're desktop
Rename the Extracted file to Nexus (thats what I name it)
youre device needs to have the bootlader Unlocked.
Open Terminal and type
cd desktop
cd nexus
chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
./install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
then you're done. hope this helps.
Let me know.
Simply amazing! Thanks for the breakdown.

AlphaRev X Beta is now available for Wildfire/Buzz users stuck on 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 and above. This will make your Wildfire/Buzz s-off and give you the ability to get root. Follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130881
If you have downgraded to a 2.1 rom and want to get back to official 2.2 rom to use Alpharev X Beta or have HBOOT 1.01.0002 and want official 2.2 with HBOOT 1.01.0001 to use Alpharev X Beta follow this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
Thanks to all who made this method possible and to those who developed the tools used etc.... This is not my work just trying to simplify it.
I accept no responsability if you brake your phone
Will NOT downgrade the HBOOT but useful if you need to go back to stock 2.1 rom.
Right Here we go:-
Downloads you will need:
Android SDK:- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Google search for a guide to setting this up and read the guide carefully so you know how to use adb.
HTC Sync:- http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=316&cat=3&dl_id=1073 Basically for the drivers to use adb as these are included with htc sync you no longer have to install drivers from sdk to use adb.
HEX Editor:- http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD I suggest you find a guide on making a GOLD CARD as you will need a GOLD CARD any way, this will get you ready and use to using the hex editor later in this guide.
Super One Click:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10452428&postcount=43 Download un zip it and save to pc.
Flash_Image:- http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip un zip and save somewhere on your pc you will remember.
A 2.1 rom RUU to downgrade to:- http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz Choose the one that best suits you WWE=Unbranded or chose one for your provider/carrier, download and save to ur pc.
Now your have set up the Android SDK you know what ADB is and how to use it (hopefully), you have created a GOLD CARD, you have installed HTC Sync, you have downloaded the 2.1 RUU.exe you want to downgrade to, you have downloaded Super One Click 1.5.5 and un zipped it and save it to ur pc and you have dowloaded the Flash_Image and un zipped it and place on ur pc.
Ready Here We Go:
Step1 - Open Super One Click and press SHELL ROOT it will run its commands and will give you temp root. You will see rooted at the bottom when its done. Try again if it says FAILED it may take a couple of attempts. ( Make sure you have adb working ) and (make sure usb debugging is ticked on your phone and unknown sources tho im not sure if unknown sources needs to be ticked, mine was and that when you plug your phone it the pc via the usb cable you select charge only on the phone)
step2 - open a cmd (command Prompt) on your pc and type adb shell (if you installed the android sdk and read about how to get to adb shell you will have no problem) (for me i type cd C:/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools and hit enter, the type adb shell. (if you see a $ try shell root in super one click again, if you see # your good to go).
step3 - copy the mtd0 file to sdcard.
(in cmd type) cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
step4 - move the misc.img to your pc and use the hex editor to edit it. (run HxD as administrator click extras, open disk image and select your misc.img you just got from your sd card).
step5 - go to 11th row down, you will find current version number at
the end of that row.
step6 - Change it to 1.25.405.1 if you want to use "Ruu_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1", the press file and save. (change the numbers to match the 2.1 RUU you are going to downgrade to (common sense) ok)
step7 - copy the flash_image (the one you downloaded at the start of this guide) and misc.img back to your sdcard.
step8 - (in cmd type) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
step9 - (in cmd input) chmod 755 /data/flash_image
step10 - (in cmd input) /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
Now you can flash offical android 2.1 RUU rom you downloaded earlier (don't forget to make gold card).
Now your on Android 2.1 but your HBOOT is still version 1.01.0001, so Unrevoked still wont work. So still no full root as yet.
Once again not my work just trying to keep everything simple and in one place, ALL THANKS TO ORIGINAL DEVS AND GUIDE CREATERS. BUY THEM A BEER.
Thanks for making this clear, then i wont have to explain it in details
Notice Adb is included in the SuperOneClick directory

This How To works but its useless hboot cant flashed.
For clockwork-recovery is a flashed hboot needed to get Nandroid.
save your time and wait for unrevoked update
PS: find a way to zip a edited orginal rom with changed hboot or find a way to take of the siganture verification this is the way to get full root

Its not useless if you need to flash back to a 2.1 rom for any reason, which is why i made the guide because i was asked by a few people who did not like the 2.2 update or were experiencing problems on 2.2 that they were not on 2.1...

It gives you temp root so you can downgrade to a lower rom but I couldnt get it to work with titanium or get su permission in terminal app on the phone! have not really tested past the downgrading stage yet will update if I get any more info.

2.2 is more stable and use less of ram and the radio reception is better for most providers.
superoneklick cant give the access for root apps its shell root not file system root
I read somwhere a technique that involved fooling a RUU installer to apply an older rom by replacing some file(s) with older one(s).
I too am stuck with 2.2 and hope to see an easy way to set my phone free
Sent from my weak Wildfire, can't wait to trade in for HD2.
try this>>>>>
open the ruu setup and do not click on and let it open, look in the temp directory of your windows user, according to the extracted files of the setups and replace try something there maybe it will work, I have not tried it yet because most processed rom . zip files stop at the signature and the md5 check.
As if I wan to downgrade my wildfire in order to root . does it downgrade work ? Because u said tat "Will not downgrade the HBOOT" . Newbie here.. dont flame me~ thx..
wait for an other way to root. Downgrading the rom to 2.1 dont give a possible way to root because it will still have the new hboot. The unrevoked team say weeks a go that they are working on it but i guess still without succes. Just wait a read the forums.
I have extracted the 2.2.1 firmware and the rom.zip file within it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi i am unable to post in Dev area, I have managed to extract the .exe from the 2.2.1 to revel all the files including the rom.zip file to which the hboot file is in there.
Do you think we can change the hboot file and fake it to think its 1.01.001 when infact is a hboot file that can be rooted.
I am kind of new to the android platform but not to linux. My device came with 2.2.1 pre installed. This is just a idea weather it will work i don't know.
Could you post this question in the forum that you posted asking the same question with the words that i have managed to extract everything. Thanks
this was a pm sent to me, i am just posting it incase any one can answer

I recently purchased an LG Phoenix by At&t, the problem I have is that I cannot leave ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I rooted it, restarted in recovery. and everything worked fine. I then upgraded my firmware, not sure what version though.. I backed up my phone before I upgraded into the new firmware. I then backedup my phone because it rebooted into recovery. Now everytime it boots it goes straight to Clockwork and I cant get out of it. I restored to my previous restore and it still doesn't work. What could I do? Should I install cwr 3? I read that cwr 5 has bugs and is known to brick phones..
Edit: Also the phone without the sd card still boots into clockworkmod menu
I have a ROM(Phoenix ULTIMATE) I'd like to flash but I'm not sure if I should right now considering I'm stuck at this menu.
Info- in my restores It says;
2011-10-04.21.37.48/
2011-10-04.21.56.13/
I'v tried both.
Another edit with potentially important info getting an error stating;
E: bad boot message "recovery"
Sorry If this is a n00b post.. I'm in sort of a rush because I'm moving in a few hours!
Edit; tried flashing the phoenix, didnt work.
installation was aborted
said i needed to switch to Edify scripting, and amend scripting is no longer supported.
What could I flash too to fix this, please help. I don't care if I lose data. Just need my phone back soon.
I have android SDK.
I was reading up on http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 here
Would I be-able to push somesort of boot file or firmware to my phone? Or something in that manner?
THIS:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Seems to be perfect for what I should try, where could I get the stock imgs for my phone? (p505)
I moved this here temporarily for you to be assisted...after that it will be moved beck to the right forum
Good luck!!

All you need now is platform-tools . The rest can be cancelled .
Use cmd (best if used with administrative rights) to navigate to the Android SDK folder , then to platform-tools .
Once you get there , connect your phone through USB then don't touch it .
In cmd , type:
abd shell

Are you able to try and boot into bootloader? Try that. Also, try and flash a new ROM in recovery, test to see if it may be the ROM. Don't be afraid to backup again, you can always access the backups based on date.

What's bootloader?
I tried to flash my backups before the firmware update and it didn't work, I also can't find any wp505 roms.. I found a few but they wont help in my situation. Do you know any? My rom is stock as I only rooted and got stuck in cwr.
Thanks!

First off, not to lecture you...but you definitely should look into these kind of things before flashing a ROM.
I haven't looked at the ROMs so I'm not sure. But whatever fancies you, it's just to troubleshoot the problem. The problem itself may actually be the recovery. Do you know how to do logcats in ADB? Try and do a logcat and boot up your device while connected to ADB.
So go "adb logcat". This should show you exactly what your device is doing. When it runs and goes straight to recovery paste all that information into a .txt document and upload it onto xda so others can take a look.
I'll try and help more tomorrow but I have to get some rest. Good luck on getting this fixed.

Hi, I am having problem, rooting my HTC One. I have done boostloader unlocking everal times with different devices, but HTC One is giving me some weird problems...
To start off with, the recovery could not be flashed at one go. I had to command flash recovery ' ' three times to get it installed. Anyhow, I did manage to flash it, but now recovery cannot mount any storage /data, /sdcard as well as /cache.(Ii.e. I cannot see any file even if I click install from SD card.) Also, tried rooting via clicking reboot, it says to root device and I am saying to it for more than five times, but it cannot be rooted. And now i am stuck .... -_-
Any suggestion/help please?

Are you sure you have the proper drivers installed? You need HTC Sync Manager if you're on Windows in order for the proper drivers to be loaded. And um, do you have the mini-SDK or full SDK folders?

Yes, I am sure.. If that was the problem than I could not unlock bootloader. I dont think that is the problem here
I have sdk tool downloaded from xda. i think it was called all-in-one rooting/unlocking or something
Are you sure you are navigating to the correct SDK folder which has the ROM you want to download inside it? I just tried sideloading a ROM using my Mac but for some reason it actually did not work. I used Windows, however, with full Android-SDK and Java-JDK installed and it worked brilliantly, so I am assuming it is because I did not have the platform-tools folder on Mac but rather the mini-SDK which doesn't seem to work well for sideloading ROMs using ADB.
You need to let the device boot properly at least once for the partitions to be set up properly before you go about rooting and stuff.

You should get $ meaning adb has connected to your phone.

"EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO STOP GUIDE HERE. LIKE REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this point you will be able to flash most ROMs. The exceptions are the one that require S-OFF (the ROM requirements in the thread will state so). Also you will have to flash the boot.img manually
To do this download your select ROM. Extract the boot.img to where you have the fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll (you should have gotten these 3 files when you unlocked the bootloader). Then open the command window (shift, right click, open command window here) and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
the boot.img can be renamed to whatever you would like. I keep all my boot images and the fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and AdbWinApi.dll in 1 folder because i download a lot of ROMs. If you do rename the boot.img, i suggest renaming it to the name of the ROM its for. When you type in the fastboot command, just remember to put the .img at the end. This is necessary or it will not work.
If you want to gain S-OFF continue through the guide.
Is this what you want to know"
If i should to that what room are then talking about (it is ex Lacoste that i want to have)
Thanks for the help you are so kind

It means there is an issue with your ADB drivers.
Did you flash the .zip in recovery?
Did you navigate to the right file in command prompt?
Does your device have Android Debugging enabled?
Is your phone connected to the computer?
Guess u must have not installed the HTC sync drivers..try doing that..

The guide says to flash the superuser zip in recovery... Let's start with that first.
As to your dialer not working, reflash the ROM if its custom. If its stock, don't bother with it and just flash a custom ROM later.

Whats up guys, Rydah here again. Here I present you guys with a stock rooted H81110N system image. This is for those who want root but cannot get TWRP to flash prior to root using MicroMod777's "One Click TWRP" tool. I unfortunately was one who couldn't get TWRP to flash before rooting and needed root before doing so but was able to flash TWRP after rooting via my system image.
Requirements:
An H811 Device
Already On The 10N Base
LG Drivers (Found Here)
A Windows PC
Send_Command Tools (Found Here)
Instructions:
Unzip The Send_Command Tools
Move The Rooted System Image Into The Root Of Your SD Card
Place Your Device Into Download Mode. (Shut Down Your Device. Once Off Holf Vol-Up + Plug In USB Cable)
Go Into Your Send_Command Tool Folder. Once your inside the send_command folder, hold Shift+Right Click and select "Open Command Window Here."
Type in: Send_Command.exe \\.\COM# (Replace the "#" with your devices actual COM number. To find this out, open Window's Device Manager (With your device plugged in) and find it under Ports
Type in: id
You should now have a "#" in the command window.
Type in (Or copy and paste this in): dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=65536 count=548352 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
It'll take a few minutes but a successful flash should bring you to another "#" prompt.
Type in: LEAVE
Enjoy
Downloads:
Stock Rooted 10N System Image
MD5: 847cdaf5adaf1b58945e473e8507f8c6
Additional information and clearer instructions can be found here. Same steps and procedures but with a different flash command.
Hope this was useful to some.
Enjoy,
Rydah
Hey. Thanks for doing this.
Should the "if" in the Send_command string point to the folder on the windows computer? It looks like it's pointing to the root of the internal storage as it's written there?
does not seem to work for me. I type in the last command and i get the # right away and reboot the phone and nothing has changed.
It worked for me after I had copied the system image to the root of the internal storage I believe because that command points there. Also, you have to be in Download mode for this to work in case you weren't aware!

Did you ever fix the instructions?
YES!
Right. So instructions are not fixed yet. However, as mentioned, placing the image file on root on internal storage and putting phone in download mode gets the job done. Place phone in download mode by holding 'up volume' while plugging in cable and continue to hold until you see it tell you its in the download mode.
You must be on stock N build first?

This system image does not include the 10N bootstack, so yes, you should be on stock N first.
Hey just a few tips
if you already have Android SDK or otherwise an instance of adb.exe installed, you should temporarily uninstall it, so that the adb.exe that is packaged with Send_Command doesn't conflict.
I copied the rootedsystem.img to my phone, used Send_Command, checked my id, and then used the dd command. There is no progress bar on the computer screen, and the progress bar on the phone screen does not move. Do not panic, this is normal.
Updated instructions and added MD5 for download in O.P.
is rootedsystem.img really 4.2g?
Rooted!
Holy Guacamole - this works amazingly well. Thanks much rydah
