[Samsung Moment] Root Instructions

EDIT: This information is out dated now but visit the link below for updated info.
taken from here http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/rooting/root-access-(finally-achieved!)/
1) Partition your SD Card to have first partition as fat16 and second ext3 [this tutorial assumes you have this setup exactly as stated]
2) Boot in Test Mode with Call+Center+Power
3) copy root into your tools directory of the sdk
4) adb push root /system
5) adb shell chmod 0755 /system/root
6) adb shell /system/root
7) unplug usb, remove battery, reboot into test mode when instructed
8) adb shell
9) /system/bin/btld_testmode
10) /system/root

Excellent. It work!. Just do exatly the steps above. Thanks for putting all this info together.
FYI... Samsung post the source code of the samsung moment.

Is this temp or persistent root? For temp root I don't think partitioning the sd card is necessary or at least I didn't partition it when I temp rooted my Moment.

Was a long time WinMo user, I was stuck with a Moto Q9c on sprint for way to long. I'm still stuck with sprint, but got the Moment in hopes of having a badass Android to start with.
Night and Day compared to my Q, the root is key though, custom rom's were so easy on the Q.
soooo im a newb to android, same question as johnbarry3434.
does it stick?
I've got two Moment's(thanks sprint for shipping me 2 and charging me for neither) ?maybe one for test purposes?
Anything I can do to help the rooting process, please let me know

Sorry guys but I'm very new to this android. Only had my phone for a week now. Is rooting like flashing a custom ROM for the Touch Pro?

Does this require seperate adb drivers for the Samsung phone?? If so where can I get them and are there any avaliable for Ubuntu???

Hi guys,
I have just gotten myself a Samsung Spica. Can I use this guide as well? Is there a ROM-update tool for the Spica?
I'm really n00b, so any help is appreciated

I need someone with this rooted phone to contact me, I need to get some data from it so I can work on something for it.
Please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks

hey look i am brand new to this whole root thing i just got my moment two days ago i am used to the simple jailbreak iphone stuff but this is a whole new level
i am on windows vista and i do not understand any of this at all please someone email me some simpler instructions or make a video or something just to help me out in some way please and thank you
my email: [email protected]

use the search Service people

Now that moment is rooted?
Will there be any chance of us getting a custom rom of andorid using sense ui?
i dont really see any point in rooting my phone if there is no MAJOR thing you can do with it..

I cannot get my samsung to root
I have the updated cupcake cl14 and when I boot my phone with talk+center+power, I boot into a test mode that lets me test the screen, keyboard, and so on. I did copy the root file (supplied from the instructions ) to the main part of my card on both partitions, and partitioned it just as it stated in the 1st step. I don't understand what the "adb" is and how to use it. Can this only be down with windows because I'm am using Ubuntu. I know adb is advance debugging bridge but after some google searches I still don't know how to use it. I now a little about chmod 0755 because of Ubuntu but any "hand-holding" instructions would be great thankyou to everyone who is willing to help me and others out with this problem.

Is there still no "real" benefit for root access for the Moment? As in no good reason to root the phone? My girlfriend has one and I was hoping that it was at least close behind my Hero by now in terms of root access benefits....TIA

http://forum.samdroid.net/threads/13-How-to-get-Root-on-Samsung-i5700-EN-02-10-v-LK10

just got my phone and can't increase the size of the fonts was told rooting is the only way even with using spare parts.
first of what program can I use to partition the sd card I am running windows XP. and everything I have downloaded today would only see the internal drive.

For those of you still looking for how to root your Samsung Moment (you don't have to use your SDCard either) there are two HOW TOs posted at PPCGeeks under the NON-WM DEVICES>ANDRIOD>SAMSUNG MOMENT
One explains how to root phone with CJ05
The other explains how to root phones that have CL14 out-the-box or officially updated to CL14
I would post a link except I'm not permitted to post an outside link... just go to PPCGeeks(dot)com and click on their forum

So what Now!!!!
Okay I see you have this placed here.. I like... I have a Nexus and 2 Droids, wife and mine.. Nexus ALL mine.. HAHAHA..
My sister, wifes sister, she has the Moment.. I have always wanted to root this just cause of the 800mhz processor... This was the first device to almost meet up with the Nexus before it was even thought up..
Is there Roms, Themes, Kernels, etc.. I see nothing, but a root, useless, without an accommodation, thanks anyway, always good to have the key to the door first..
Somebody, PM me if not on, or reply here, I'll come back around...

cool that i made the front page but the info is out dated now.

yes this info is way outdated. just flash the kernel with speedyrabbit's or joeykrim's kernel and you'll have persistent root, plus a much faster phone.

also, speedyrabbit's kernel has wifi tether and flash_image support. you can download from www(dot)sdx-developers(dot)com.

TroubleInstalling android market and the google services on honey comb nook color 1.2

Hey everyone, i am new to this forum and i am seeking the help of people who are familiar with with process of soft rooting a nook color 1.2 with honeycomb. I am not skilled in the area of rooting at all so i am pretty surprised that i have made it as far as i have, but i have somehow ran into a wall that i cannot surpass. I managed to get the honeycomb software onto a 4gb sd card and uploaded it onto my nook, but my honeycomb did not come with the android market or google services framework. I am currently struggling trying to transfer the "honeygapp install" onto my nook but the adb pathway seems to not be set up. I have followed the instructions and my computer recognizes the nook nc as an android device but when i do the command prompt "commands" it doesnt work. I think there is something wrong with my pathway, im not sure an i have no clue how to figure it out. someone please help me

Still no luck......... anyone willing to help?

sounds like the GAPPS,,,try re formatting the sd card??

[Q] n00b wanting to learn more

I have an autonooter nc 1.1. have been really happy with it, but I am wanting the ability to use netflix as well as have adobe flash. autonooter was easy enough for a n00b like me. however, i have been debating for the last month whether to go up to 1.3 and run manual nooter. It seems intimidating compared to autonooter. Also it is my understanding I need to wipe my nc first then do the 1.2 and 1.3 updates, then nooter. Is wiping as simple as doing the 8 reboots? is manual nooter much simpler than it seems at first read?
I keep seeing ADB in threads and I am wondering if it is something I should have on my laptop? I had tried to get it on my desktop but something didnt work. my laptop is new and my nook has never been connected to it, can i try to install the ADB drivers or do I need to have had my nook connected at least once before doing so? I am interested in learning more about the dev side, though i have never been a dev in any way. but it seems to me having ADB would allow me to do things on that end.
any advice would be great. also if i run into questions while nootering would i post them here or in the other forum? for simple things like what does this or that mean id assume to post here, but if i get stuck in a step would i just post it in the nooter thread?

I can't really say much for the nooter root methods, but having and being familiar with adb is a great tool to have in the toolbox. Not just for the nook, but other devices (once you get a taste of this stuff, it only gets worse).
For the NC it is easy enough. Assuming you're on windows, run the android sdk installer, and download the appropriate packages. The NC doesn't work by default, but if you search for adb on the forums here, there is a post by xboxexpert (or however he spells it) with a batch file that takes care of what you need.

i actually used that method when installing on my desktop. something didnt work right and i couldnt get it figured out. soooo i guess ill start fresh with ADB on the laptop and hope somehow it goes better. I am using windows 7 now, my other machine was xp, maybe that will make a difference. right now I am wiping the nook and trying to decide between nooter or cm7. im also trying to decide if I want to boot from a card or flash to emmc. too many choices and too much reading I may have been better off not researching all the different things to do. since now I seem to be more confused than when I first came here , oh well here goes nothing.

Nah. More reading = better informed = less mistakes & better choices
Just don't forget about that search button!

You'll probably find win7 a bit easier with ADB that xp. And having a good working install of ADB will most likely save your butt in the future. Biohazard is right....soooo much to learn! And you will notice it's kinda slow booting from uSD than eMMc.
Have fun!

Try installing CM10 latest nightly using the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941858

After you follow the instructions on the previous post, I'd suggest you look into installing android on the internal memory. Its pretty good if you install the nook color app and you get more memory in the long run.
I've attached 3 screenshots to show ya what it looks like running cm10

[Q] Installing Ubuntu 13.04 on Mexus 7(2012)

Hi guys, I can't find any recent posts to help me so sorry if this is redundant. I want to install Ubuntu Desktop (not touch) on my nexus 7. I downloaded a mirror for the image but i cant find the one click installer and have no idea how to push the files myself. I installed the Touch version to my nexus just to try and get an understanding of how it does it but it was way over my head. Thanks for any and all help!

If you have no idea how to push the files yourself, are you sure you are ready to attempt even a one click installer? What will you do if it fails?

Figured it out

Well to be honest, I figured out how to push using (sudo fastboot devices) all that junk got it stuck in a loop but then found out! If I download the bootimg and the IMG file I can pish both the first as sudo fastboot flash boot /path/.booting and the other sudo flashboot flash user data /path/.img suggestions are still welcome though. I took off the Ubuntu 13.04 and am currently installing LXDE might make a thread for people like me that want it yet.

multirom
I suggest you install twrp and multirom, then search for multiboot ubuntu, there's a thread round here wIth a handful of precompiled linux distros. This allows you yo keep android while enjoyong running linux.
Oh and I reccomend not using unity in ubuntu iy is terrinle and keeps crashing.
I have ubuntu permanently installed but very rarely use it. Lacks hardware accelleration, which is a shame as I think nvidia o[en sourced the tegra drivers. I dod have a little go at getting them running but failed miserably!

I found that installing just Ubuntu 13.04 desktop image and installing gnome or lxde and changing the swappiness to 5 or 0 works great. It runs great. No lag, i have been able to use it without any problems. Did you try that? As for the hardware acceleration I looked into that but seeing as I'm just learning linux and its programming I don't wanna try it. If anybody wants me to post how i installed everything to my tablet I could post the images and give a little tutorial if needed just to help

Ubuntu is a useless OS at this point.
Also....are Mexus devices really cheap? Like Sorny TV's?
