Hi Everyone,
I noticed to today that there are multiple application for 1-click root for some android phone like Droid X, Samaung Galaxy S, Nexus One, ...
Is there any application that roots the mentions phone can root Samsung Galaxy Spica GT-I5700 ?
Regards
Get Odin and the latest lk. Not as simple as one click, but it should not take more than five minutes.

rooting with ODIN it's so easy, just input the file (kernel from samdroid v.LK2.08) and click start,
just one minutes your spica now is under root
Instructions
Sorry im a total noob. Can anyone link to descriptive instructions to root the Spica? I sooo scared..
i did it yesterday, not as hard as i though. just search "i5700 flashing" in youtube and you should find ~8min video.

Hi Friends, I found out an eassy way of rooting but before you start format your card with FAT32 and follow instructions as mentioned here -
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/root-samsung-galaxy-spica-i5700-with-leshaks-kernel/
Guys I did it already, With Odin is so wasy, I was just asking if there is a way more easier.
Thank you
Z4root is now available for spica.

Z4root is not a full root for spica or any other phone.
to get it follow these steps
Enjoy
Not fully one click but almost there
Install z4root 1.3.0.apk.
Install any terminal emulator apk.
Do the permanent root to get the superuser apk and su binaries installed.
(the permanent root does not work because the rfs filesystem used by the spica does not support the suid bit)
Then do a temporary root. (z4root creates a tmpfs filesystem which supports the suid bit).
Launch the terminal emulator.
Get root by typing su at the $ prompt. The superuser apk should ask for permissions. Allow the terminal.
The prompt should change to #.
Type dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
This should dump the boot logging output to dmesg.txt. Connect your phone to the PC or eject the sdcard and open dmesg.txt in any editor.
Search the log file for cannot find.
In my case it was
init: cannot find '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh', disabling 'flash_recovery'
The important part is the "/system/etc" and the ".sh".
For some reason spica allows editing in the /system/etc directory which remains after reboots. Any edits to / do not remain after reboots.
If you dont have a cannot find error by init generated by a script in /system/etc then youre out of luck. The only way out is to run z4root and get a temporary root everytime (although it kind of makes the phone a bit unstable after the temporary root).
Then type
mount -o remount,rw,codepage=utf8,vfat,xattr,check=no /dev/stl5 /system
(wonder why this works, cos my device shows /system mounted as /dev/stl6. anyways it works)
Change directory to the system folder by typing
cd /system/sbin
Create a symbolic link to /xbin/su in /system/sbin. Do this because typically in the path variable /system/sbin comes before /system/bin (where z4root dumps the su binary). The suid bit is not set after reboot in the /system/bin/su so it dosent work.
ln -s /xbin/su /system/sbin/su
Have script prepared on your PC with the following lines:
#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /xbin
mount -t tmpfs -o size=100k tmpfs /xbin
cat /system/bin/su > /xbin/su
chmod 6755 /xbin/su
Save it to your sdcard as the missing sh. In my case it was install-recovery.sh.
Copy it from the sdcard to the /system/etc folder by typing
cat /sdcard/install-recovery.sh > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Thats it.
Reboot when your done.
On reboot init should read the init.rc file in /. Then it should execute install-recovery.sh. (Just make sure the install-recovery.sh or whatever script is marked as oneshot in the init.rc file)
install-recovery.sh should create a small tmpfs partiition, copy the su binary there and set the suid permissions creating a permanent root.
I try to root my spica with super one click, android sdk and no work but i find a way to update cupkake 1,5 to eclair 2.1 with odin and finaly i made it . Than i use lkmod 2.5 to root but i cant find the super user or any root explorer in the phone and i dont know if my phone is root-ed or not ... any idea...?
one click root is impossible on spica
the stock OS on spica i think it was android 2.1, the one click root kits (at least the few i tried) didnt work on androdi 2.1
As soon as i flashed a 2.2/2.3 rom i had no problem rooting using z4root for example.

I updated JID6 using ODIN
Rooted using OCLF One click
Using Root Explorer I am unable to modify these files after JID6 update.
Previously i was able to move/delete these files. Not anymore.
Current Permission is rw-r--r--
I tried to modify my permsission, but it does not permanently apply. Does anybody else have this problem.. Even after its been rooted, i can't make these permission changes therefore i can't move/delete these files.
Bootup: system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Shutdown: system/media/audio/ui/Shutdown_128.ogg
Did you remount /system rw?
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

I have the exact same problem. I posted a thread pretty much identical to this one. Still no answer...
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
worked for me. Once remounted I could rename the startup/shutdown sounds.
Thanks guys for responding, Thats it. Once I installed Busy Box i was able to move those files again. I guess after the JI6 update, it removes your previously installed busy box. I coulda swear i had busy box already installed when i was using titanium backup. But then I remember i had to Re-Root the phone as well.

So just to be clear....type that string exactly as shown into terminal on the phone and that's it? Then I can delete (not rename) the sound files?
yes. you should have needed to do it the first time, too... /system is always mounted read-only.
and you also need a root shell (su)

Sweet! That worked for me! I had to change back to the samsung keyboard because everytime I used the , key in terminal SwiftKey would crash.
No more obnoxious startup/shutdown sounds! Woooo hoooo! Made my Friday!
Hey guys,
So somehow I managed to find a nice weather/clock widget that pretty much perfectly resembles the HTC kind. I'm not really sure how I got it to be honest, I think I scanned a bar code online, but I'm not sure.
How do I make a back up of this widget? I want to update to the newest Fission rom, but don't want to lose it. I'd love to share it with you guys, if you all can help me copy it. I am rooted, and have root explorer. Thanks.
Is it called weather widget? if so Fission Rom Manager has a download for it right in the app

All you have to do is navigate to the /system/apps folder with terminal emulator and then find the .apk that is your widget and then copy it to your sdcard after you flash just put the .apk back in the place you got it from.
here's the code:
Code:
su (root access)
cd /system/app ([B]c[/B]hange [B]d[/B]irectory to /system/app)
ls (lists files in the directory)
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk12p1 /system
(mounts the location /dev/block/mmcblk12p1 as /system with file system ext3 as read and write)
cp "yourweather".apk /sdcard/"yourweather".apk
(copies "yourweather".apk to sdcard with the name "yourweather".apk)
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk12p1 /system
(unmounts the location /dev/block/mmcblk12p1 as /system with file system ext3 as read only)
Thanks guys, I think I got it.
I got it from the /system/apps folder using Root Explorer.
Ah that's a handy code bit, thank you!

Yep that's the same one that comes with fission. They even have some different backgrounds and stuff for it if you want it in an add-on.

Since updating to the new froyo I have root, but I cannot get root explorer to be able to access /system in any way possible, it reads it but cannot write/modify.
I have replaced every root file with a new version, even tried the /system on boot set to r/w method with that market app. Its getting frustrated as this has ALWAYS worked before.
Did you come from voodoo?

I had a lot of trouble with Root Explorer as well. Super Manager has worked much better with the r/w access.

I'll give it a shot using that other app and see what happens.
That app still only has r/o access. Super user isn't granting my phone r/w access for /system.

You positive you still are root? Try the root process again just for ****s and giggles...
Run one of the following with your phone connected to your computer and try again.
Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/stl9 /system
Non-Voodoo:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
Yes, I'm getting this too.
Not only this. I use android commander to see what's in the folders.
While I'm in CWM in the phone, Android Commander shows only one folder in /system. That folder is /system/etc. This might explain why I can't flash anything into my phone to save my life. Anyone know what could be causing this?
It's odd because when my phone boots up, Android Commander shows /system will all of it's glory...

I have the exact same issue. Just talked it over with Adrynalyne.
You are going to have to download an All-In-One Odin Package such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
Then, you're going to have to start over and flash your CWM Recovery from jt
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Then you Odin flash the modem of the ROM that you want to install, then you use CWM to flash the ROM that you want to install...
Make sure that you do to not flash using Phone. Use PDA option in Odin.
Apparently, it's a corrupt dbdata partition that is causing it. This can happen occasionally when installing VooDoo... Just another reason to stay away from VooDoo...
BTW, Is this working for you? I think it's working for me as of yet. I'm not done yet so I can't assure you yet.
I don't think is working for me... If it worked for someone else let me know. I don't know what happened.

I just installed root explorer and set my system to RW, I can see it all the way through in ADB. Then I re-locked it in root explorer.
Upgraded from factory rooted image of 4.3 to the OTA KRT160 I was able to get this rooted and the bootloader has been unlocked.
Cannot mount /system as r/w from either ROM Pro toolbox or ES Files Explorer. 4.3 has no such issues. Anyone else having these problems or know a way to mount this. I want to update my hosts file and a few other things.
Edit: This method works, just not any apps
adb shell
$su
#mount -ro remount,rw /system
make changes in shell
#mount -ro remount,ro /system

Tried that on a rooted Moto X...still no joy. Among other things, it's keeping AdAway from installing.
Edit: I eventually found MotoWpNoMo, which fixed my problem. It permanently removes write protection from /system. Maybe there's something similar for your device.
I had an issue with read write in es. You have to not only slide the root explorer option to on but also tap on root explorer text to change system to r/w. Hope this helps

Man I've been looking for your tip 2 days. And here you go. Awesome. Same thing with H/K LiveStage sound buried under option line.
