[Q] So, do I have root ?

[sathyabhat]

Hi,
I got my hands on the Nexus S yesterday, and loving it so far ( coming from an iPhone background here).

So, I've flashed my Nexus S with the Voodoo kernel + adb as root - and I assume that means my phone is rooted, right ?

But apps such as Shoot Me & Titanium backup say that the phone is not rooted. So, what am I doing wrong ?

did you already unlock your bootloader and other steps listed here?

If not, and you want root, you will need to do that. during the install Superuser.apk you may need to mount the /system/ in the recovery. look at post 53 for more info

Yep, that worked. Thanks.

If anyone's interested, here's a complete blog post composed by on rooting the Nexus S ( u.sbhat.me/hbYlbz ). Obviously, it's compiled from various threads over here, thought it'll be helpful for me & for others in the future.
