POSTAZO! [GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9023 only)

Aqui va un gran aporte del usuario kursk de xda developers. Toda la tarde perdida hasta que he encontrado esto, es la forma de hacerle root al nexus s de vodafone España (modelo GT-i9023)

Los pasos a partir del 3 son opcionales, aunque luego es conveniente que desde el market instaleis alguna aplicación que gestione los permisos de superusuario.

Un saludo!

 [GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9023 only)

---

Hi all,

i've recently bought a Nexus S which is a non-US/UK (GT-i9020) version having a SC-LCD screen (GT-i9023).
Which is not, sadly, the only difference...

This tutorial is based on AllGamer's [GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9020 only).

Part 1 - Drivers

1 - Download Android SDK
2 - Unzip & launch "SDK Manager.exe"
3 - Cancel the first popup & go to "Available packages" > "Third party Add-ons" > "Google Inc."
4 - Select "Google USB Driver package" & click "Install Selected"
5 - Once you're finished go to your SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
6 - Open "android_winusb.inf" and add the following lines to both "[Google.NTx86]" and "[Google.NTamd64]" sections :

;
;Google Nexus S GT-i9023
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E20

as described here [SOLVED] Google Android USB drivers - Nexus S SCLCD GT-i9023 not recognized
7 - Turn Off your SNS
8 - Make sure the SNS is connected to the PC via the USB cable
9 - Boot the SNS into the Bootloader Interface, by holding Volume UP & Power button

It reads LOCK STATE - LOCKED
Open Device Manager (or run devmgmt.msc) make sure you don't see this problem (windows failed to identify the SNS and install the correct drivers)

10 - Do a right click and select Update Driver Software
11 - Select Brose my computer for driver software
12 - Point it to your Android SDK installation "extras\google\usb_driver" dir
13 - Make sure to CLICK "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
14 - Then from the list 3 choices select Android Bootloader Interface
15 - If it's installed properly it should show up like this (reboot is not required)

NOTE: if you encounter problems like question marks, unknown drivers, or exclamation marks eve after you have installed the drivers, download and try the USBDeview 32/64 to remove and uninstall all the junk USB devices from your computer/registry

Part 2 - Unlock

1 - Open a command prompt go to run & type "CMD" & hit enter
2 - Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "tools"
3 - Type "fastboot oem unlock" & hit enter

Then you will get this

fastboot oem unlock
...

Selecting YES will wipe EVERYTHING from the SNS, so make sure you have backed up everything you needed to safe before you continue.

4 - Use the Volume up/down keys to select and Power key to apply

you should see something like this after it's done

... OKAY [435.433s]
finished. total time: 435.433s

Now back on this screen you should read

LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED

Part 3 - Recovery

1 - Download the ClockworkMod recovery image 3024cw-i9023.img from [MOD][RECOVERY] Clockwork 3.0.2.4 without crazy confirmation menu! back button fixed.
2 - Save it to the Android SDK "tools" dir
3 - Open a command prompt go to run & type "CMD" & hit enter
4 - Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "tools"
5 - Then type "fastboot flash recovery 3024cw-i9023.img" & hit enter

You should get something like this, if not your image is corrupted, download it again

sending 'recovery' (3980 KB)... OKAY [ 0.621s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.511s]
finished. total time: 1.132s

6 - Then back on the SNS select Power Off (Reboot also works)

Part 4 - Root

1 - Power ON the SNS
2 - Download su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from [APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05]
3 - Save it to the Android SDK "platform-tools" dir
4 - Open a command prompt go to run & type "CMD" & hit enter
5 - Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "platform-tools"
6 - Type "adb push su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip /sdcard/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" & hit enter
7 - Boot the SNS into the Bootloader Interface, by holding Volume UP & Power button
8 - Select "Recovery
9 - Then it should boot into this screen, if not then repeat the steps to download the image
10 - Select "Install ZIP from sdcard" (power button to apply)
11 - Select "Choose ZIP from sdcard" (power button to apply)
12 - Select su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip (power button to apply)
13 - Select "Yes - su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"

Should says

Install from sdcard complete

15 - select go back
16 - select reboot

You're now free to install the ROM you want.

Have fun, take care !
