if your bootloader is locked then yes you will loose everything on USB storage,if the bootloader is already unlocked you will not loose any data,you don't need to flash a rom after rooting the device as it will not wipe the system.

Hi, I installed the drivers on my computer and am currently running the run.bat file. It's saying my device is not found. I have USB Debugging on, and USB storage is on. Any ideas?

Turn off the usb storage,you just need usb debugging enabled if you turned on usb storage it will not work

Can i replace CWR with newest img version?

PLEASE STICKY THIS THREAD ON TOP.

The tool includes the latest cwm img,but if you want to replace it with another one you can do,just make sure you rename it to same name of the img in the root tool folder,but make sure that the recovery you will use is compatible with the nexus s

After I execute run.bat the phone is rooted. I reboot using ClockWorkMod Recovery. Then, when I run sticky.bat and follow the instructions I get the following:

shell@android:/ $ su
su
shell@android:/ # rm /etc/installrecovery.sh
rm /etc/installrecovery.sh
rm failed for /etc/installrecovery.sh, No such file or directory

What should I be doing? Please help.

The phone should booted normally when running the sticky.bat (On the home screen),there is nothing to worry about just Complete the instructions normally one of the two scripts will fail since the name of the file differ in gingerbread and ics,try this rm /etc/install-recovery.sh and continue the instruction it should work and clockworkmod recovery would stick.

 

[Ritwik7]

Thanks for your reply. I used a FixRecovery.zip file from another thread and flashed it after executing run.bat again. Now I am able to boot into ClockWorkMod.

Thanks for your reply. I used a FixRecovery.zip file from another thread and flashed it after executing run.bat again. Now I am able to boot into ClockWorkMod.

My friend can you guide where i can find this .zip because i m facing the same problem.thank you in advance

Ok I got it to stick by using Root Explorer to mount it as read/write first then ran the sticky.bat. ICS is the rm /etc/install-recovery.sh command.

I tried this and when I want to do the sticky.bat, when I type the "rm /etc/install-recovery.sh" it sais rm failed for /etc/.., Read-only file system

I had the same problem with sticky.bat.
Once you 're done with run.bat and it reboots in cwm just flash fix-recovery.zip

thanks ! added the link to the OP in case anyone had problems like this.

Argh, I seem to have successfully unrooted my Nexus S 9020t and had it rebooted back in, but while it was booting up again I accidentally pressed a button and it told me "error: device not found" twice followed by "<waiting for device>".

Unfortunately my phone has already been rebooted, but it still seems to be waiting for my device. I'm not sure if I can disconnect this device from USB while this is going on, so uh, what do I do?

Edit: Disconnected and reconnected the USB cable on the phone to see what would happen, and it seems to be ok. I'm still stuck on "waiting for device" though. Should I consider restarting the process again?

Edit Edit: Decided to just try to redo the process all over again...seems to have worked!

 

[m.sabra]

Updated tool to version 2.0 ! check the changelog in OP, it should solve all sticky recovery related problems,as i removed sticky.bat and now the recovery will stick automatically without the need of running any commands or flashing any fixes.
thanks for reporting problems and feedbacks

 

[qetuol]

thank you for this

 

[Lelouche]

Okay, I've tried to run this but it always fails at flashing the recovery.. Any help?

Ok first have you unlocked your bootloader when the tool asked you to use volume buttons to chose yes and unlock ? (If you did this you should see an unlocked lock under google logo when booting the phone) if you didn't just run the script again and unlock the bootloader.

Are the drivers installed properly ? When you connect the phone to the pc check device manager to see if the PC recognizes the phone (the drivers are included in the tool in case you need them .

And last check the root tool folder on your pc it should have a file called cwm.img if it doesn't then download the tool again.

SuperUser is not visible after the process

I am on stock ICS, I had previously unlocked the bootloader, then I did the whole process mentioned in this thread. It showed me the CWM menu but when I did the reboot, I couldn't find the superuser app. Then to test whether it is rooted or not, I installed titanium backup but it says the device isnt rooted. What to do now? I tried SuperOneClick but it doesn't seem to work.

Edit: Thanks guys, sorry. It was my mistake, I didnt do the whole process in a right way. It is working as expected.
