I currently have a bell Samsung galaxy s ( I-9000 ) and after I updated to 2.2 JL2 I was unable to root my phone or install programs from recovery but after a long time of fooling around I was able to figure out what works.

Before you do ANY of this test that you can get into download mode and recovery mode.
Test recovery:
When the phone is off push Volume up, Home (middle button in the bottom) and then power and the same time when the boot screen comes up, let go.
Test download
When the phone is off push Volume down, Home (middle button in the bottom) and then power and the same time when the boot screen comes up, let go.
If at any time you mess up your phone, enter download mode and flash the old rom back on the phone via odin3 which is at the bottom
*****
1) Turn on USB debugging
Unplug USB -> Settings -> Development -> check USB debugging -> plug in USB
2) Root phone
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
unzip in a folder -> run SuperOneClick.exe -> click root
3) Install modified 3e recovery (allows unsigned installs)
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
unzip in a folder -> run install.bat -> reboot phone
------
you can stop here if that is all you want to do on this rom - if you want to install a custom rom feel free to follow along the rest of the steps
------
4) Install Clockworkmod
Go into the market -> search for clockworkmod -> download ROM Manager
5) Install CWM Recovery
Open Rom Manager -> click "Flash CWM Recovery"
6) Download rom
Put the rom you wish to flash and put it in the "internal" SD (the 16GB one, not the microSD one you can put in yourself)
7) Boot into Recovery
Volume up + Home + Power wait till the logo comes up and let go
Select reinstall packages (I believe it is called) and you might have to do it twice and you will boot into CWM recovery
8) CWM Recovery
choose to flash rom from SD and accept it and you are done.

Questions
I will try to answer any questions that I had during my search to the best of my knowledge, i might be off the mark a bit but close enough to get the idea.
What is to root?
Rooting gives your phone access to the system files and allows you to make changes to them, meaning the phone can be damaged if something changed something important but also gives you freedom to change things like install custom rom. It is a good idea to unroot the phone if you are not doing any changes to it or don't want to mess stuff up.
What is recovery or 3e recovery?
Recovery is a way of loading certain programs directly into the phone, the file to do this is called "update.zip". Once booted into recovery you can tell the phone to install the file.
The issue is that the old version 2e allowed unsigned programs (meaning any program could be installed) but 3e allowed only signed programs to be installed so it would not let us install programs like CWM to flash a rom.
SOo in short the 3e modification lets us install unsigned programs like 2e did.
What is Rom Manager / ClockworkMod?
It is a program to flash a rom on the phone, the rom manager is booted in via 3e recovery.
Does it matter which Rom version I install?
Not really the last 3 letters ( JYP / JL2 ) are just version numbers and you can flash any rom that in within your product, soo i would just suggest keeping within any the roms in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665
Extra files
Odin3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=405389&d=1285090568
Samsung firmware : http://www.samfirmware.com/ (can login with Gmail account)
Addition:
Since bell is using 850hz for modem, you should also reflash the modem file after "most" roms out there. Or you won't have access to network.
To do so,
-download an official rom from http://www.samfirmware.com/, extract
-start Odin.
-Select "phone" and fetch the modem.bin file.
-Only thing checked should be "Auto Reboot"
-Put phone in download mode
-Plug in USB
-hit Start
Let it reboot and thou shalt have signal
had to do this on Darky's rom 8.0 and 9.0.2
I installed voodoo kernel directly with heimdall (odin replacement).
Very easy:
-boot in download mode
-flash kernel
-(optional) install superuser from market
This way you have a rooted phone with clockworkmod and lagfix, in very few steps

I've just flashed the new gingerbread rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177). I've found an option in the clockworkmod recovery that allows you to reboot in download mode. I did that and flashed with odin but now when the phone starts it says:
-- Copying media files...
Successfully copied media files.
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to 'system/csc/TMB/system/',
Successfully appliced Multi-CSC,
Then I have the following options:
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
When I select any of these options nothing happens (I don't know if this matters but volume up is down and volume down is up). I've also tried to reboot the phone in download mode but it takes me to the android system recovery window. If I plug the phone to the laptop it takes me to the android system recovery window
I'm currently applying for several jobs and I NEED my phone to be operation ASAP. I would REALLY appreciate if someone could please assist?
Does the 3-button-combo work? if so go into Download mode and flash a full ROM like Darky's resurrection
After that you can try flashing JVK again or wait with experimenting until you have 1 or 2 days when you don't need your phone
or, if you have a full nandroid backup (I strongly recommend creating one regularly) just flashing any custom kernel and restore All.
Edit:
It seems like the first post has changed a bit after my post.
That is the problem. The download mode won't work. I press on volume up+volume down+on button and it still takes me to the android system recovery window.
I need to find a way to get into download mode so that I can flash the phone again.
If this happens to anyone use the three files from the first post which has bootloaders included, tick re-partition with .512 PIT and flast it again.

That's not the correct combination of keys. You should not press volume up+down.
Don't play with your phone if you need it, and don't install custom ROMs if you can't follow instructions buddy.
you should apply a proper kernel, froyo kernel doesnt work on gingerbread!!
Hi XDAers, am new to sharing, and wanted to start with this thread as it might be helpful for many people
Am not responsible if you bricked your phone, so don't blame me!
Lets start with the guide:
What u need:
1- Samsung drivers Here
2- Odin flasher Here
3- Rom files which u will find Here
4- (Optional) To do a full clean install or to root your rom u will need Philz kernel
Installation Steps:
1-Install the previously downloaded samsung drivers on your PC
2-Start your phone in download mode (while the phone is off press and hold PWR button + Vol dwn + Home)
3-Start Odin (above link)
4-Click on the PDA Btn and select the rom file you downloaded (.tar file)
5-Connect your phone (don't use any usb hub or whatever,etc.) so that the phone is connected directly to the PC
6-Wait until you see the upper left box in odin turns yellow
7-Click on start and don't touch anything until its all done
Congratulations! now u have a stock rom installed on your phone
To have a Full clean install (u have to do this first) :
1- Go to Philz kernel and download the one that corresponds to your current firmware build code
(you can know your current rom code by going to settings, about device, the 5 letters after i9100 in Build number are your firmware code)
2- Place the zip you downloaded on your external sd card
3- Start the device in recovery mode (while the phone is off press and hold PWR + HOME + VOL UP)
4- Scroll to install update from external storage using the volume keys and power btn for selection
5- Go to the kernel you downloaded and install it.
6-Turn off ur phone and start again in recovery mode, it will start the newly installed recovery
7- Now go to mounts and storage and format (system,preload,data,cache), Go back to main menu, Select advanced and wipe Dalvik cache
Now ur phone is fully cleaned and ready for Installation !!
For rooting after installation, Repeat the previous steps until step 5

I don't think it is possible to root your phone without first install any cwm recovery
This have been possible ever since I made the Odin file.... And you don't need root to use Odin.

Hello,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s7-edge-rom-v1-1-t3356699
This ROM looks great !!! I managed strictly following the steps below to install the rom on my S7 Edge once. Later I wanted to reflash the ROM to change things in AROMA. Since it is impossible for me to go beyond the boot Samsung screen (every time I wait more than 30 minutes, it seems blocked and the phone becomes hot). Since I tried doing all the steps again thinking to reflash the CP and BL, TWRP, and disable encryption of /data partition etc but I still have the same problem.
During the installation of the ROM, I tried several setups, with or without root, with differents kernels etc, nothing works, the installation goes smoothly. It's just that the phone remains locked at startup ("Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, POWERED BY android").
I have Odin 3.10.7 and 3.12.3, TWRP 3.0.2-3hero2lte, BL_G935FXXU1BPH6 and CP_G935FXXUBPH1 and no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.
I also tried flashing stock rom and then Superman and fail again.
Could someone help me ?
Thank you.
(I just didn't do the step with CSC because it's seems to be optional)
1. Start your phone, go to settings, about device, software info and hit build.number around 10 times so developer options will show up
2. Open developer options and tick: OEM unlock
3. Shut your phone off
4. You now need a computer, download odin3.10.11
5. Download two files, first is bootloader and second modem: bootloader and modem
6. Boot your phone into download mode by pressing: home+volume down+ power on
7. Open the downloaded odin on your windows pc and click on BL tab and add the file that name begins with BL, same for CP tab
8. After this, reboot to download mode again
9. Install TWRP (latest one is needed to support new BL's) will be next step, for this, follow all steps provided in this forum: TWRP Thread (booting into download mode: press home+volume down+power on, booting into download mode press: home+volume up+power on)
10. when you got TWRP working: We need to disable encryption, for this you should boot into recovery mode (as described above)
11. Flash this on your phone
12. After flashing this, hit wipe, full wipe (this will clean all internal memory and your data will be lost!!)
13. you can test if encryption is still enabled, if TWRP shows error about not mounting /data your phone is still encrpyted
14. Now you can download the rom onto your PC and then transfer it via usb to your phone
15. It is rom installing time install the rom!
16. After successfully installing the rom hit reboot and you are good to go!
17. If you want you can use my csc selection to get your desired csc, if you want that you can grab it here: CSC Selection V1.6

dude write some more info will you, i dunno whether
your device is locked
you have developer drivers on your laptop
what TWRP version you are trying to install
but anyways if the whole process is completed without any results consider starting odin as an administrator then flash TWRP
Hello sir
Follow my steps for successful TWRP/ROOT
1.)Download and install Samsung USB Drivers
2.)Download TWRP 3.0.2.0
3.)Download Odin
4.)Download SuperSU.zip file
For download links message me or add me on facebook facebook. com/fRoD.cs
After you complete this 4 steps shutdown your phone and enter into Download Mode
Volume Down + Power + Home
Select continue by Volume Up key
Now connect phone with usb cable into pc and run Odin as administrator
Click on AP box and select the twrp.tar file you download before
Go to Options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, make sure that only F, Reset Time is checked and click start
After successfully installed TWRP , remove the battery, put it back and make sure that you go into recovery mode immediately!!! Volume Up + Power + Home
If you boot up the phone it will restore the original recovery. Thats why you need to go to recovery mode first.
First time you boot in recovery it will be shown a TWRP screen asking to allow modifications to system partition. Swipe to accept that.
Now select Install option and select SuperSU.zip file. By default it should be in Download folder, and swipe to start install
After installing click reboot and your SM-G361F will be rooted. You should have SuperSU app in the menu
Working Recovery

Ah, opportunely, I have the exact same device.
Now, I have actually installed TWRP before so I can help.
Usually, if it stops the flashing process, it may be a case of the Custom binary being blocked by the FRP lock on the device. Have you OEM unlocked it?
On the device, when you boot it into download mode, does it say FRP LOCK: ON on the screen?
If not, skip this step.
If so, you need to do the following:
1) Reboot the device normally
2) Go into Settings, Developer Options (note: to enable it, go to About Device and spam the Build Number box until it says that you are a developer)
3) Find where it says 'OEM Unlock'
4) Confirm the change
Now, there is an extra step which I had to take if you have a Google account signed in on your device. You might not need to, but it's best just in case:
1) Go to Settings, Accounts and Google
2) Click the Google account on the device
3) Click 'Remove Account' and confirm
Note: You will need to sign in to use any of the GApps, but you cannot access the recovery whilst being signed in because of the FRP lock.
4) Reboot your device into download mode and try again.
This may not be the case, though.
Also, don't bother with adding that guy on Facebook. I have all the downloadable things you need here, but I advise you do follow his guide, except the Download folder section. He missed out that you need to download the SuperSU binary to your device. Downloads are here:
Here are the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones (NOTE: You may not need these at all since you can actually begin the flashing process without them, so don't bother):
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
Here is the TWRP recovery (NOTE: Please download the 3.0.2.0 version, since it is more up-to-date and more likely to succeed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...sm-g361f-unofficial-twrp-2-8-7-3-0-2-t3425402
And here is ODIN (You already have it, but here it is anyway. Also, download the first one, not the second one, since the first one is newer):
https://odindownload.com/download/
Also, the SuperSU binary (Note: It's easier to open it in your Android browser and download the file from there. That avoids the need to transfer the file from the PC to the phone):
http://www.supersu.com/download
Now, it could, in fact, be a problem with the USB cable. It's highly unlikely, but mine is a bit tempermental, insisting that if I nudge it, it'll stop working.
Notify me how it goes, because this worked first time for me.

Go to developer settings and check OEM Unlocking (if its already checked recheck it) and then reboot. Then close the phone and install TWRP.
Hi I've managed to install the correct twrp on my device but when I go into recovery I get the same message not seandroid enforcing. I've followed all the steps but I can't get it into recovery on twrp. Does anyone have a solution please?
