You just need to know that it's not a 9000 and it's a 9003. The rest is always written on the thread

First thing take a deep breath. Just read through the forum and you will learn how to do it. It took me some time before i figured out how to flash roms.
About your bluetooth, go to bluetooth settings and check "Discoverable"

There's not much for flashing stuff for the I9003. There are millions of things to flash for the I9000 lol

Just tell me one thing...does super one click ROOT method works for so called GT-I9003??

This is a beautiful but seriously loaded phone.Do not be in a tearing hurry to root,flash all sorts of ROMs etc.Use it for a few days in its virgin state,let it stabilise but do read through all these forums taking care you are reading about 9003,make notes and then go for practicals.Otherwise,you might just end up posting SOS messages on trouble-shooting which is really not necessary since the list of things you have set out to do is not some rocket science but common sense+knowledge that can first come only through reading.
Moreover,there is pleasure in figuring things out yourself.
Best wishes.

1. yes, gingerbread is out but not yet for asia. you can either get other regions's gingerbread and flash it to you phone. take note, warranty's void after flashing.
2. dockbar icon depends on ur launcher. if you are on touchwiz, you have to either apply a theme (i guess, coz i havent used touchwiz).
3. if you wan sg2 apks, search forums for which apps you wan. if you really wan sgs2 so much, then you can either get apply a custom rom which is using sgs2 apps.
4. if u are on froyo, get speedmod kernel, voodoo or etc's kernel which has built in root functions.
5. discoverable must be ticked in settings or ur pc wont be able to see you for the 1st time.

Absolutely minimilistic ROM?

Does anyone know any ROM for Galaxy S that contains the default experience? I want no Samsung crap apart from the e-book reader(I might be interested in it). Would it be possible to achieve this? It will be great if its based on Froyo.

OH MY GOD! Are you for real?!? Finally a rom without the touchwiz??
Thank you very much man, been waiting for this since I bought the phone!
I guess U must thank the creator - LeshaK and somebody else, who posted this link in another thread on XDA
Have fun and remember that this kitchen is based on JPC and some ppl have problems with this ROM version.
Lol, spoken too early! Thought this had stock android launcher and apps (like stock calendar, clock, etc.)...I was wrong!
Can you remove touchwiz?

Yeah I did see that... unfortunately it doesn't provide basic info like what firmware is required for flashing it (I'm currently on jm7) and there are no screenshots to see it running

JM7 seems to work from what I can tell from the posts there, but you are right of course. He should update the first post with some basic information...

One Click Root for 10.1 Tab

Hello, just wondering if there be ever a one click auto root compiled for the Limited 10.1 ???
Thanks.
Nope there isn't cause this device doesn't have an external sdcard.

Doesn't the Samsung internal hard drive act as an external SD card ?? You can you adb to push data as a SD card.
Just trying to put my pennies across. Not a big brain to this stuff.
Wrong section, this is for 10.1v
I''d be interested in a one click root for the 10.1v too, so we can keep the thread alive at least.

It was moved because you are not a developer working on 1 click root. Main difference is working vs asking.

People do it for a variety of reasons. I'll just name a few.
1. To get updates before they are official
2. To run custom roms
3. Change processor speed (underclock/overclock)
4. View and edit system files
5. Modify anything you want
6. Wireless tether
7. Put themes on your phone
8. Use some apps that require root.
9. etc
It basically just gives you full control of your device, so you can do whatever you want to it. That's why its so beneficial.

I believe there's a process of program called oiden that will do this for you. Look in the development section.
the main problem is to find an easier way to unroot rather than flashing a stock rom (some original firmwares aren't avaiable on samfirmware )
It's called ODIN3, and you use it to flash a different kernel on your Tab. You can find tons of kernels in the development section. I'm a fan of Pershoot's. Those kernels will enable you to root and/or install a different ROM on your Tab.

Lots of miscellaneous questions.... Please help

Hi,
After searching around the forums and looking for a few things I have arrived at a few questions...
1. If anyone living in india has flashed Xxkb3 modem along with the xxkb3 rom... can you tell how is it? planning to re flash my phone..
2. Can I use my old modem while flashing a new firmware? Just want to confirm...
3. Skinning swype ? Is it possible? Changing the tracer path colour as shown by tripin is an awesome thing to do!
Aside from a few stock apps like samsung app store, aldiko book reader, calender clock widget, social buzz and layar (not sure of it)
what all other apps can I remove aside from these above mentioned apps..?
though I saw a list once here in the forum but now I am unable to find it...
Please don't shout if these things have already been discussed by you people...
Just clarifying a few doubts...
Thanks a lot....

This is the only tool you need to root and gain an unlocked bootloader.

Download the advanced ace hack kit and read its manual. Don't use HTCDEV to unlock your bootloader that will only give you problems later.
