Hey everyone! I have recently obtained a Nexus S 4G and will be making lots of how to videos for it! I do see there are a lot of written guides, but no videos. I did make many how to videos for the Samsung Epic and I got such a wonderful response from everyone, I figured I would expand to different devices.

Please post suggestions to future videos in this thread, or PM me!

I will be posting more how to videos very soon :D

Please pardon the noob question but I was wondering if I will have to install busybox after rooting? I currently have a Galaxy Prevail but I'm going to be upgrading to contract and this phone next month and I'm trying to gather as much info on rooting and what not for this phone. The reason I ask is because I know with the Galaxy Prevail, you have to install busybox after rooting and I'm wondering if the same applies to The Nexus S 4G as well.

I have one more question. I got the phone yesterday and once it was up and running, it downloaded 2 updates, one of which installed google wallet and brought me up from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7. Will I still be able to root with these updates installed or, did I screw my ability to root?

Yep you can root :) Just run the one click!
