Man im jus having problems now i usedd to never have problems with rooting n shiiett but anyway I followed Unlockr root donut.

Installation Aborted.
Any1 know what'sup?

ok so I rooted my android phone a few months ago and just left it at at the stock img with root access. i didnt do a back up because i wasnt planing on flashing a different rom. when the FRF91 update came out i manualy updated it. after that i lost all root access. i then followed this guide to get it back to EPE76
XDA FORUMS /showthread.php?t=636795.
after this i lost all root access. my fastboot screen showed that i was unlocked. i tried to re root it following this guide (how i rooted the first time)
YOUTUBE./watch?v=RyOO460xNHM.
i followed the exact steps i did before but the superboot didnt work. ive tried to get it to a version but i cant manualy update because it says the update isnt found. or there is an error in the file. did i mess up the rooting or is it something else? can anyone tell me if i can fix this someway???

I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place, I read around the forum and couldn't find anything related to rooting a SGS with 2.3.4 .
Please be patient with me I am new at this, but i read about the fact that rooting your phone can drastically improve your phone's performance as well as get rid of those annoying adds in the apps and it grants you the ability to use cracked apps. So my request to this fine community is: Can someone please post a complete guide on how to root a samsung gaalaxy s running 2.3.4 or post a link to such a guide? And please keep in mind I don't know a lot of things about this so i could really use a detailed guide. I want to thank you in advance for your time and your patience.
I'm not blaming you but you could have done a little reserch before

If it helped you -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\/
Thank you for your post, I will try this guide and give some feedback, once agian thank you.
I would also like a guide on how to unroot the device and go back to my current software ( 2.3.4 XXJVQ) in case something goes wrong. Once again thank you for your help and your patience.
google my friend
if it goes wrong it's not cause of the root. juste try another firmware.
One last question: I just read that rooting and flashing are 2 different things. Does this mean that once I follow the guide posted above(which says its rooting but once i read a bit it actually seems to mean flashing) I will have full right on my phone or do I have to root it afterwards ?
Actualy this is just about rooting.
if you want a flash :

It won't be rooted after this. Apply the first tuto for root.
So long story short I rooted and unlocked phone moment I got it. Then I noticed an update and couldn't update due to being rooted. So I tried to flash the factory image thru adb and I kept getting this error. Its my first time trying this. Has anyone seen this error and if so what am I doing wrong?
Im having the same issues, any step by step help would be appreciated.
Follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008 and use Method 2 instead of 1.
