Without ODIN you can't root your phone, unfortunately.
Just flash CF - Root for JVR via ODIN...
thanks buddy .. but this procedure is also ODIn
any particular reason you don't want to use ODIN? I was also warry of using it, but using CF-Root or fuguroot seems to be the 'cleanest' method of rooting your phone currently. There was an APK created by CF, iirc, but that method no longer works on newer builds.
The only solid method of doing it currently is flashing a rooted kernel using Heimdall or Odin. adb exploits like superoneclick don't work anymore...
Not much will go wrong using Odin for just the kernel. Chances of something going wrong are usually when flashing bootloaders and what not.
You could use an insecure kernel if you can find one then superoneclick but that requires flashing too.

Hi all, new user here and looking for some help.
Im using an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S Froyo 2.2 and I want to root it so that I can install an app that allows me to pick which screen is my home screen.
I downloaded the i9000 1-click root and everytime I get to the recovery mode, I select update.zip but it never updates and gives me an error something like:
E:\ Signature Verifaction Failed
Update aborted
(sorry if it isnt correct, at work at the moment)
Anyway, my baseband version is I9000NEJP2 and my kernel build number is FROYO.NEJP5
Does anyone have any tips for me as the only phone I have ever rooted was the G1 and that took me quite a while to work out what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Standard problem.
You need to flash a kernel that supports clockwork recovery. Check the i9000 forum for kernel related threads (speedmod or cf-root). If you don't know hours to use odin, check the reference guide thread in the general forum.
Why don't you just install z4root?

That app simply roots the phone. Instead, you need a solution to replace 3e recovery with 2e. Those are two different things.
I just searched up on that cf-root thing and do I need to have something called ODIN installed before I flash my kernel?

Yes. CF-Root is installed via Odin. The CR-Root thread includes some instructions on how to flash it.
Read the reference guide on how to use Odin/where to find it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Personally, I use the SpeedMod kernel because it has Clockwork recovery already included. The SpeedMod author also has a great tutorial on how to install it.
SpeedMod thread
SpeedMod installation guide
SpeedMod download (just pick the SpeedMod K12I with HZ=256 version.

Yes, you should still be able to upgrade through Kies, but when you do you will lose Root.
You will need to Root it again after upgrading the firmware.
thank you but i afraid i have to buy a jig.... i press the vol down home power and sgs starts normally, not in download mode.......
don't ever flash or upgrade anything with a device with no 3-combo buttons. you can find how to fix it on the development section. there are two methods, odin and update.zip file. For me I would prefer update.zip if my phone is rooted, otherwise I would use odin method. good luck
heh i'm afraid I have to use Odin method to restore combo buttons....
is it safe? i don't want to brit my phone because it's touching the bootloader, very dangerous
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.
Hi, I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and rooted with cf-root 6.4 and I would like I have readed that chainfire think that is "better" cf-auto-root so now I would like way mobile odin pro change cf-root to cf-auto-root if this is possible.
Can you help me? I don´t have post for post in the chainfire post and I don´t know if with mobile odin I can put cf-auto-root and how I can do.
Regards
Back up your data using Titanium Backup or any other backup tools.
Then flash stock JB firmware, root it using cf-auto root.
Restore data.

Lolz just leave the **** alone. You are already on firmware you want to be and you're rooted....? Leave it alone. No point going through all that work for nothing.
**** delete custom, that is reflash custom recovery with regular one and you got yourself auto root lol. Then when you get to the point that you'll need custom recovery, do it all over again.
Highly suggest you go read again what auto root is and does without blindly thinking it's better and automatically thinking you gotta redo it. You don't!

What's the problems with 6.4 usage on jellybean?
At moment I am having major problems I first thought as nothing, but basically I am seeing increased battery drainage since I updated. I also am having some "wifi suffocation" - Wifi media would just cut and you need to disable and enable wifi to get it working again. I updated a rooted phone via kies and rooted it with 6.4 so I am trying to know if these problems are just my old settings being incompatible, CF root 6.4 and/or BusyBox or just a general NEE Jellybean error...
Thanks to all for your answers. For now I don´t will change until new firmware

No problem whatsoever with cf root. Chainfire simply decided not to make and use custom recovery anymore. So he took it out. Which is his right anyways.
Your counter will still increase with auto root as with original for initial flashing via Odin. After which you can perpetually flash with 'mobile odin', preserving root. Which is probably what he wants and it makes sense for those of us that own it.
Those that want custom recovery for flashing zips will have to flash it separately. Which unless flashing with mobile odin will make the counter show 2 (auto root + recovery) instead of one with original cf root.
For those that care about warranty and Chainfire already hinted he might stop playing cat and mouse with samsung and samsung changes something so that current triangle away stops working...

Sounds good really - and seems like it at least is not CF root that is causing my problems, something is what is making me go through complete wipe and firmware reinstall probably from sammobile source. I hope I get it fixed and it is not something in the firmware itself because the Jellybean IS nice.

i flash directly the cf-auto root from my custom JB by using mobile odin and revert back to cwm due to the fonts too small.
Hi all, im a noobie with samsung devices and this whole Odin thing so decided to ask here before messing up things.
So, i want to install a custom rom. I rooted my device with towelroot just a while ago, so now i only need a CWM recovery.Can i just download the latest CWM .tar file for note 3 and flash it through Odin? Will the fact that i rooted using towelroot have any impact on this? Also, will towelroot stick when flashing the CWM recovery, or flashing a new rom?
Can Rom Manager be used to install CWM, as i understand that it is a supported device. Is it a worse way than going through Odin?
My plan is to make a backup with CWM and then probably flash X-Note rom if all goes how i planned it.
Sorry if these questions are answered somewhere, couldn't find with browsing and searching for a good while.
Im on N9005 and 4.4.2
Thanks for all help!

Use this to install CWM through Odin it is better.
When u flash the new ROM and after wiping, the root using towelroot will be gone but probably the rom u'll be flashing will already be rooted or u can root easily with CF auto root.
I recommend TWRP over CWM, especially for a new flasher

Towelroot doesn´t trip Knox but don´t forget that custom ROM or recovery trip know to 0x1.
Don´t use any ROM managers etc. It make a lot of problems with phone
