I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!
The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)
Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.
I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.
Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

Hi,
I would like to have root for my S2 firmware. Below are the current details of my stock firmware used.
Please note: I originally tried posting in the correct thread but it says my account is restricted in the Development area (something about less than 10 posts).
Model number: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKF1
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG2-CL342890 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKG2
Thank you.
Thats due to newbiness inability to read posting questions that are answered on page one etc .This may not apply to you .
You have KG2 firmware and require KG2 root .
As i presume you have read the instructions and found your KG2 CWM and Root kernel all in that thread .
ROOT THREAD
Root + CWM .

I saw the CWM thread but I thought it would be better to ask in the other thread.
Thanks for the info.
No those are very confusing unclear and outdated instructions.
These instrructions are much better.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
And watch this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVE0UDe-bQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I have just rooted following those instructions.
{Build:KI4, Version:1.3.4 (stock, rooted)}
I went to the first link you mentioned before but there is no "Insecure Kernel" for my stock kernel, that is why I posted here.
I am going to use JJ link as it contains the kernel I need.
Thanks for the help and the video link though

AS you have to flash a kernel for the above method the changelog is littered with bugs .
Download screen does not have the picture described .
#You then have to S2 root .
CWM and recovery download CWM and root kernel flash via Odin rooted with CWM no further steps needed .
A different method than the one most used but by no means either easier or better and most certainly not out of date .

thnx a lot dude
i am a noob and this is my first time rooting a phone.
for my phone:
PDA: I9100JPKH1
PHONE: I9100XXKG5
CSC: I9100JPKH1
Build info: 5/8/2011
should i be using the file "CF-Root-SG2_xx_OXA_KH1-v4.1-CWM4.zip"?
also, my computer detects my phone but kies 2 always gives me an error when trying to identify connected devices, will that have an effefct on the rooting process? just want to make sure before i start.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you Chainfire for all the helpful material you posted!
Hi to all,
I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm
may be helpful to fruitcakes (they were missing the european ones) or anybody who want to revert to unlocked,rooted stock.
The process I followed was the following:
1. Flash from 2.3.6 based rom to stock 2.3.4 of the european sbf (nordics and greece) 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU (kindly uploaded by haki.gr)
2. unlock (intl fix 1)
3. install romracer's cwm
4. rooting with root_cwm.img
5. memory fix with ramfix.img, and
6. battery fix with jug6 fix2.img
7. cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload
Information (reading from the phone)
System version 45.31.20.MB860.NonEGIGSRetail.en.EU

Hi, thanks for this. I tried installing using Koush CWM 5.0.2.0 and I get:
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted."
I'm running a euro atrix (originally t-mobile) SIM unlocked, rooted, currently on CM9 ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi Appy,
I tried to flash back, there was a system error, I think I messed up the recovery process. Just to be safe, I will remove the file, redo it, and post an MD5 (just in case of corrupt files).
I don't know if it makes any difference that I used the romracers.
brilliant. thanks a lot!
Hi
Could you send me this fruitcake?

Same issue here...(although I think I have a red lens defy).
Here are the specs of my phone:

Q: I can't flash from recovery, I get an sdcard mount error.
A: It seems to be related with phone's who are using version 2.51. To solve, try to flash any recent SBF file. If you want to do a nandroid first, check if SD Recovery works for you.
Click to expand...

So the SDcard problem seems to originate from the version. The solution which has been provided is to flash any recent SBF file. This is where I am stuck at present.
1)What SBF file is recommendable?
2) is it really required to do take a nandroid image?
Perhaps something to mention: I am working without phone SIM and with a 2 GB Kingston SD card.
Flash a froyo ROM, root and instal 2nt init. Best a non blur ROM (then you don't have to register)
If you don't want to go to eclair (void warranty, official upgrade for your country) you don't have use nand. Nordic is a good choose.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Hi,
thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated. No, I don't want to go back to eclair, since I do not have any warranty anymore....
Where can the ROMs be obtained? I stumbled onto the website as provided by Moto defy a beginners guide (grrr, I cannot provide URL's here) where a whole list of SBFs are given.
However, Nordic seems to be a Gingerbread SBF? Which one to pick in order to get CM working?
Thanks! TY
Problem has been solved.
I updated the phone with Motorola update manager to version 2.2.1.
After the update, the installation of CM worked perfect.
Regards, TY
Well I feel dumb to say this but I bought my S4 last week and already Bricked it.
It is an I9505 with ME7 firmware. I did some easy root way using a formatted SD card so haven't flashed and files before.
Anyways now to the dumb part, I was bored and work and installed chainfire 3d without reading all of the info just saw it had good rating I obviously now know it is not made for a newer phone so I feel really stupid.
So my Verizon S4 is locked up and wont load past the Verizon screen. I have goggled the problem and that is what brought me to this website. A lot of great information here but I figured I would make a thread for help and make sure I understand everything right before I try anything from now on.
The search bought me to this page being the way to fix it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
Now I have read though it all but there are so many links that it just confused me on witch one to download and install to fix the device. I dont mind if the phone gets fully wiped or stays rooted/doesn't. Just want to be able to use it and read up and learn more. I would be most interested on a root that has the least bloatware
So basically I am asking if that that link is the fix to my problem and what download/rom should I use. Do I download a Original Stock ROM or Pre-Rooted ROM? Then put my phone in download mode and use ODIN
Thanks

You should be able to recover if you can flash the original stock rom back on there but not too sure about Verizon S4 as I have an international S4,. I would be flashing the stock rom in your situation.
Someone else who has the Verizon variant might answer if there isn't a forum for it.
So would flashing the stock 4.3 ROM void my warranty it was running 4.2.2 I believe? And just to verify this would be the link I want to use? Original Stock ROM (see below)
Or would a 4.2.2 original stock rom be better?

Go to sammobile.com for the stock firmware. Voiding your warranty is the least of your worries. Flashing the stock will not void it.

I also want to upgrade my kernal.
When everything is said and done, I of course want to be rooted.
Now I cant seem to find answers anywhere. I love this site, but finding a helpful guide is painful. So many different version of threads. I found several threads where people were asking the same thing but there were no good answers. So I imagine this could help others too.
If someone could tell me exactly what I need to do to upgrade to MM and get this new ROM installed, I would be insanely grateful.

Hi skoad
You have a Verizon and, as so, you may first start by reading the below:
[GUIDE] Unlocking the Galaxys S5 Bootloader using DEV Bootloader [KK-MM]
As soon as you find yourself comfortable, you will need first update your Bootloader (mentioned above) and Modem partitions. To do so you should flash a Sammobile firmware using Odin.
These are the firmwares available for you but only the first one is Marshmallow and your aim.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device data.
The Kernel update will be done by the ROM you are focusing to install and it will be rooted already.
Let us know how it performed with Stock.
Cheers.

Thanks a ton. I am pretty busy this weekend but will be giving this a shot Monday and will report back. What youve provided seems very helpful and straightforward, just what I was hoping for!
