[Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.4 [Updated 01/16/16]: Nexus S 4G Thread

You can use 'Any Build' mode for rooting if you are having problems. Select that for your device instead. Can you specify the exact build you have so I can look into it.

android version 4.1.1
baseband version : D720SPRLF2

The method worked!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I downloaded jelly bam zip file and I wanna flash it over to the phone.
Is it safe to use the toolkit in order to do that or should I send the zip file to my phone and do the flash in twerp?
---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
Trying to flash using the toolkit did not work ( i couldn't use the option use any firmware)
The file pushed through properly b/c I can see it on my TWRP page but the install didnt take.
I'm gonna try to manually install it from TWRP, which should be fine correct?
haha youre ok, sometimes you lose root. It happens. if you read the first posts of jelly bam "fixed" youll see that it requires you to flash super su separately to regain root. search google for "chainfire xda" super user thread and download one of the cwm flashable super su zip files and flash it in recovery. you will have root after that. good luck
Works perfectly, just follow all instructions!
This was amazing to use! I replaced my crappy EVO 3D with a Nexus S. It was already better. Then I used the tool kit to get rooted and it was so helpful to have all the instructions! The only thing I had trouble with was the Team Win Recovery. It wouldn't flash CyanogenMod 10. So I just flashed the ClockWorkMod Recovery instead and it worked just fine.
Thanks for the amazing work on this!

Great job on your tool kit. It sure makes life a little easier.
One thing that I ran into when using it while rooting my friends phone was this:
This is a Nexus S 4G without an external SD card (only internal SD memory).
I installed and ran the tool kit from my external USB HDD if that makes any difference but like I said in the picture above the root took using the tool kit just never pushed SU and BB to the phone. I installed them manually. Do you think it's because I ran everything from my external drive or is it because his phone is the model with just internal memory?
Thanks

Which toolkit version are you running? The latest? You should add me on gchat and hit me up. I would like to figure out what caused that problem for you when I get a chance.
It shouldn't matter that you ran the toolkit from an external. You could run it from a flash drive actually. Just as long as the drivers are configured.

Here is what I used:
When I start Tool Kit I get a WIndows message that says it is up-to-date:
Like I said it rooted his phone I just had to install the SU and BB apk's manually. I know you want to get to the bottom of this to avoid having this problem happen with other, less experianced user. Glad to help.

For some reason its not prompting you for an update, but if you look at this thread, the latest public release is 1.6.3.. And you are running 1.6.0. Please always run my latest version, I can't provide technical support for legacy releases.
The updater should work perfectly in the upcoming 1.6.4 release so that should never happen again.

{{ WugFresh }}44Big thanks to ej8989 for asking me to post this here for the benefit of Nexus S 4G owners. This program supports all the Nexus devices but I was silly and only posted it the Nexus7 thread.
I will do my best to keep this program updated to support the latest builds for as long as possible. Cheers. ^_^
