Hi i just update to 2.3.4 and try to root it and work fine with me

Download this file and move it to your NS

after your flash the recovery then ..
On your phone, use the volume key to highlight "recovery". Press power to boot into recovery.
in the recovery screen, select mounts and storage
mount /system
mount /data
go back, and choose install zip from sd card
choose "choose zip from sd card"
pick the su package zip file you copied over earlier
choose Yes
when done, reboot.

So after I flash 2.3.4 update, all I have to do is reboot and flash SuperUser again, and then Nexus S is re-rooted again?? Thanks!

That probably means your phone is no longer rooted. Download 'Root Checker' from the Market to check, but if you installed 2.3.4 ROM, your phone should be un-rooted though.

In my app organizer I can see Superuser, but Root Checker also said me that I dont have root

For those stock rooted but bootloader locked 2.3.3 users that previously rooting using CWM recovery to update and superuser root method.

You can root the same way...but save the trouble of fastboot recovery step via PC which novice users could be stuck on getting fastboot usb driver to work properly.

0) Just installed ROM Manager (From Market) into your phone
1) Store both 2.3.4 update.zip and SuperUser.zip into SDCard
2) Run ROM Manager
3) Activate CWM Recovery
=> Make sure recovery is installed succesfully..check ROM Manager screen which tell whether the installation is successfully done.
4) Reboot recovery from ROM Manager App
5) Follow thread #1 on the rest
6) After applying update.zip..do not reboot...do a system mount from CWM Recovery then apply SuperUser.zip ..after completing all steps..do a reboot..

Voila your 2.3.4 is installed and rooted..

Thanks, but this way comes to late for me and some other users. We've flashed the update without rooting.

And now we need another way for root ...

    For those of you that installed 2.3.4 and root it right away thru clockwork. You guys need to make sure that you guys have clockwork permanently. I just went thru this. I went to backup my new 2.3.4 Stock Rom via Rom Manager and it went into the Triangle screen with an exclamation point. To avoid this:

    At this stage, you have successfully rooted your Nexus S on Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent your phone from doing so, follow the steps below:

    1. I went into Rom Manager and click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
    2. Download and/or open Root Explorer
    3. Open Root Explorer and navigate to "etc" directory
    4. Tap on the gray box that says "Mount R/W"
    5. Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old (Note I had both so I erased the previously install-recovery.sh.old and rewrote it on the new install-recovery-sh file that was there)
    6. Once renamed, open ROM Manager again
    7. choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.
    8. You should have Permanent ClockworkMod Recovery.

    To test that you have permanent clockworkmod just reboot and go into recovery.

    For newbies:

    ClockworkMod Recovery (From CGM WIKI)
    Download ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.5).
    Boot into bootloader mode by holding down the trackball while turning the device on. You should see a white screen with three skating androids.
    Connect the Nexus One to the computer via USB.
    On the computer, open terminal and run:
    fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-passion.img
    The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the Nexus One.

    Then
    enter recovery, install zip file.
    choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
    Click to expand...

    Dude this is not a Nexus One.

    I read and reread this thread over and over, and still my update attempt went completely pearshaped yesterday evening. Mostly due to lack of understanding my own actions.

    This message saved the day though: 2.3.4 is up and running and still rooted.

    Thank you for this!

    btw, I'd love to hit the thank you-button, but it doesn't appear here. Probably my bad, but I hope this message will do.

    EDIT: Just after I posted, I noticed the thanks-button and hit it. There should be a law keeping people who can't even click Thanks from trying to root any device.
