Noob question - Galaxy S I9000 General

got a galaxy few days ago and rooted it on the second day.i used super one click root and i had superuser.but i wasn't satisfied with eclair so i used odin and updated the firmware to 2.2 XWJPA.
my kernel version says [email protected] #1
does this mean i still have root?after updating to 2.2 i cant see superuser app anymore so i have tried using the same utility to root again but the prosess gets stuck in installing superuser.
what should i do to get root?
sorry if this is a stupid question

Firstly make sure you have 3 button recovery dont flash anything without this and secondly i have the same firmware as you and all you need to do is flash another kernel. I flashed CF-Root v1.2 kernel from this forum and it worked a treat. search for [30.10.10][CF-Root v1.2] JPH JPK JP6 JPM JPA JPO - superuser+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
goodluck

Yea i checked it before and i have the 3 button config.
thanks for the quick reply

let me know how you go, when i flashed a dif kernel i then used oclf which is 100% campatable and installed touchwizGTG launcher also from the forums and it is smooth and stable.. Happy days

Just got my Galaxy S (bell version)

I guess i want to install Darky's v8.0 firmware i just need help getting started.
1.) Do i need to root first?
2.) ClockWorkMod Recovery what do i need to do to get it installed? Just put in on the SD card and go into recovery?
3.) What about SIM locks? The phone is locked to bell.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 JL2 from Bell Canada and in the recovery menu i see 3e which i know needs to be downgraded to 2e.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I read the tutorials in the samsung vibrant section but since that a different phone then i9000 i dont wanna take any chances.
No you do not need to root first.
Go into the I9000 Android section of the forum's and into the speed mod thread and flash hardcores kernel with Odin using his instructions. This will get you 2e recovery and clockworkmod the program used to install custom roms.
After that download Darkys rom onto your SD reboot your phone into cwm recovery its the default recovery with hardcores kernel and the choose update from SD and select darkys Rom and that's it wait for it to install.
I would provide links and such but I'm currently away from my PC.

i was reading it all days yesterday both ways. But i can't find a JPx ROM that word work on my bell phone. Dose it matter that its locked? or do i just pick and flash?
You can flash with it locked, just means your phone is still locked after you flash.
If you flash the speedmod kernel, you get 2e (as mentioned earlier), and you also get an option on the recovery menu to root the phone. I suggest rooting, I think you need root to generate your unlock codes.
Download an app from the market called SGS Unlock... This will generate the unlock code for you.
Of course if you're using Bell, don't worry about unlocking. Locking to a carrier as far as i know, will not prevent you from flashing and using other carriers' roms. But then again, it's so darn easy to unlock, why wouldn't you anyways?
why not flash CF-Root v1.3? is it not the same thing and thats what it says to use in Dark'y thread.
So i guess find a JPx ROM use Odin and flash it and then flash the kernel either CF-Root v1.3 or speedmod and then flash Darky's ROM?
EDIT
I just installed the speedmod kernal, do i need to now install clockwork recovery? i think not coz its part of speedmod kernel?
i should really read Samdroid_G_S post
And in a couple of weeks when the internal SD is dead you can collect your $100 credit and get a new one!

Btw once on this kernel can we flash any Rom or only 2.2 and higher, I read somewhere that JL2 was special has it can't be downgraded.....
thx
1 post!!!!
nah i been messing around with it all day finally had darky 8.1 installed to find it was broken. Just flash hardcore speedmod kernel and then flash darky 8.0 WIPE and then Darky NO WIPE.
Dont delete any cache or anything after you flash to 8.0. From 8.0 just update right away.

I flashed Darky's V7, V7.7 and V8 then went back to JL2 in between each without any problems. I try a lot of different ROMs and always end back at JL2.
Ian
load it up with Darky's v8.0...then flash just the JL2 modem using odin, then flash the speedmod kernel (12M now I believe) using odin or CWM.
Battery life is better than when on voodoo kernel and the JL2 modem makes GPS better (all this on bell's galaxy s of course).
i may go back to the JL2 Modem as well, just gonna test it for a few days. You should install 8.1 NO WIPE as well.
Do you just hit the PDA button in Odin and select modem.bin and then hit start?
Yes you put the jl2 modem file in pda and hit start

Hey guys i recently put 2.2 on my phone via kies and realized i cant root my phone with 2.2. So i wanted to go back to 2.1 and root it and flash bionix which to my knowledge is running a more customized stable 2.2. Can someone please tell me how to get back to 2.1 so i can do this over again the RIGHT WAY lol. thanks
You can root with SuperOneClick
Check out the Thread by Nothingness00 or you can flash the KA6 + Voodoo kernel on Supercurios post and have root & CWM in one shot.. Dev section

yes...from what i've read you can root 2.2 from kies via SuperOncClick...
but if you just want to go back to 2.1 just for kicks and giggles then flash Bionix-V...
then use Odin to go back to stock...
root..
flash CWM recovery...
then flash Bionix-V

If he isnt rooted then he can't flash Bionix . His only option would be to use odin to revert back to any 2.1 stock rom, but like you said he should be able to root it just fine with SOC.
To the OP: Search, and answers you will find.

He can ODIN one of Supercurios voodoo kernels.. It will give him root & CWM all in one and then flash bionix
i am new to rooting so this all sounds like chinese to me. what is the difference between bionix and the 2.2 i have now. i am just looking to customize my phone. i have never rooted before, once your phone is rooted what do you do from there?

if you updated to 2.2 via kies then you have stock 2.2 Froyo
Bionix-V is a heavily modified Froyo ROM by Team Whiskey...it has lots of performance tweaks and VooDoo lagfix enabled by default...trust me...TW ROMs are gold.
so can i root my 2.2 with SOC then flash bionix on it or do i have to go back to 2.1 first?
You can root with SOC
SOC is not working for me. it keeps giving me an error message after i click root i have frame work 4.0 installed and the drivers for the phone installed as well

flashed ka7+voodoo but no effect?

hi
i have installed stock froyo rom with kies than flashed with clock workd ka6+voodoo all went good.
now i have tried to flash the ka7+voodoo all went good i think (no errors) but in phone info i still see the kernel version ka6.
is this normal or something went wrong?
Just trish reflash through rom manager. Make sure your on a 2.2 rom that is compatible with the ka7 kernel.
i am on a samsung stock 2.2 rom - will i be able to use a ka7 or kb1 kernel with stock 2.2 froyo from kies not from google?
did you enable it?
no, i don't know how.
clockworkd finished flashing the ka7 kernel than i rebooted.
current kernel ver. showing 2.6.32.9
build: FROYO.UVKA6
update zip was taken from supercurio thread.

About Phone doesn't show kernel version as ka6 or ka7.
It does show the BASEBAND that way, but that is not the same thing.
Your kernel probably says "2.6.32.9"
so if i understand u correctly i have the ka7 installed atm.
is there a way to know if it rly is a ka7 kernel.

Root from android market

Is there any application on android market to root sgs 2.2.1?? I dont want to flash custom kernel.

Yes .
But they dont work well on 2.2.1

Yep, the ones giving themselves root access to download remote code for your phone.
No, really, you're prolly better off to flash a rooted stock kernel such as CF-Root by Chainfire, it's the normal kernel that came with your firmware but root access is added (plus the necessary tools), nothing else. Got no link at hand but a quick forum search should make you find it instantly.
Flash a rooted kernel with odin and your done within minutes.

Thets what i suggest to if flashing a kernel isn't an option (although i prefer flashing a kernel myself). Search it and be sure to tick "Usb debugging mode" on your phone!
I fall into Landorin stated situation in that my stock setup on KC1 wont let me use superoneclick. So looks like flashing a kernel is my only option.

With out a doubt the best way to root your phone is using Chainfire's kernel.
Or you can try gingerbreak also chainfires work. Its meant for 2.2.3 but apparently work fine for 2.2.1 no odin kernel flash needed.

[Q] Can I root without custom kernel

Hi I have an I9000 and I have upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 using the stock firmware from samfirmwares.com I think it is using Odin. The question I have and I have googled it and searched and read this and many other forums is can I root my I9000 without flashing CWM and a customer kernal?
On my 10.1 tab I just have a zip file I drop in root and reboot to the recovery menu and update it and it's done. I want the same for my I9000 (just for Titanium backup and SU) and I want to stay on the stock rom.
Thanks
Brian
Nop that isn't possible!
Only way to root 2.3.5 is flashing a custom kernel.

It is not a single-click process but two.
First of all use CF(the least complicated kernel) that applies to JVS to obtain root(from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) and then flash the stock kernel(from perkas stash-- http://perka.zapto.org ).The result would be your phone has root and only the stock kernel.
Best wishes.
Thanks thats what I wanted I'll do that then. Why do you flash twice though? why CF then perka?
Thanks for your help

Twice because----
1)the CF would root your phone
and since you don't want anything other than the native/original kernel,
2)flash the kernel as suggested.
You could as well not go for the second flash but simply remove the minor tweaks and reboot for them to be removed.
No big deal/difference really.
