[Q] How to root GT-I9000 with

Hello everyone.
I am pretty sure I am the 100th one to ask this, but after seeking on the forum for a long time and tried everything I swear, I wasn't able to root my Galaxy S GT-I9000.
As I said it is a GT-I9000 (I9000BUJP5?) with firmware 2.2, Compilation FROYO.BUJP2
My intention is to patch the phone and quit that lag issue to gain a little speed, so it needs to be rooted first.
Everytime I tried to do whatever is shown in this forum or in any simmilar or internet tutorial I get the 'E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.'
Somebody to show me the way?

Have you tried z4root?

I find z4root easier to use but it doesn't with all firmwares. Try superoneclick.

Z4root did it. Thank you very much fine gentlemen. It seems they do have updated the Z4root and works perfectly on my version.
Again thanks.

[Q] After upgrading to 2.2, I had problems with the rooting.

Hey guys,
I'm a new user here but I've been reading allot in the past 1 and 1/2 since when I got my first Android which was a HTC Wildfire.
I never had major problems regarding upgrade and rooting procedures but now I have a weird one.
After upgrading my Galaxy 3 (I5800) to FroYo, I've downloaded the Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root program intending to root my phone.
Once I run the software, it gives me a a popup error message that says:
The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application.
As anyone else here would do, I went straight to google and search for the message itself and also for the error code. With no luck, I couldn't find anything reasonable to fix it.
Note that this message happens of Windows XP SP3 and also on my Windows 7 Ultimate.
I'm just running out of ideas guys.
Have anyone here seen this error or heard about it? I search here on the forum for that code and there's nothing matching at this point.
I would appreciate if anyone here can help me.
I can take a screenshot if needed.
Cheers
Fred Kaiser

I'm not on a computer, but I believe you downloaded the wrong one.

Did you download from the Galaxy 3 Development section?

Those are the steps I've followed in the link bellow. I couldn't find the z4root on the market and if I download it from the internet, I suppose I need the phone rooted in order to install the app, or not?

I had same problem
One click and z4 don't seem to work for 5800 froyo
Use super one click.
it worked for me

good stuff... this Super One-Click worked pretty sweet... it says that my phone is rooted and the SU test passed. I guess I can start having fun with my phone now!!! hehehe
thanks guys +1 for both of you!
cheers

If you downloaded root but it didnt actually root your phone, this may be your prob

My problem was that I would download SuperOneClick and it would not give me actual root. The SuperUser icon was in my app drawer but if I tried to use any apps that required root access they wouldnt let me. When I opened Super Manager and clicked "Enable Root Access" a popup would come up and it would say something like "Your ROOT image will not work" or something like that.
The problem was this:
I found out that I had downloaded the most recent version of SuperOneClick. This version will not give root if you had the official 2.2. update. You needed to download the 1.5.5 version.
I hope this will help anyone who made the same mistake as me.

anybody? im freaking out since no one else has had this problem.

Try enable USB debugging
Settings > Applications > USB Debugging > Enable.

You should repost the OP with the solution in case someone else has the problem, if not people will search in vain.

good idea. Ill do it now.

Thanks alecjake, I am on ka6 and have heard there were issues with the latest SuperOneClick. Odd that an older version can root froyo but the newer version can't. Very helpful advice.

Enabling usb debug helps with pc connection issues. Who's the post whore here?

One thing you also want to do, is after using superoneclick is to reboot. That way root actually works.

root
I also have problems with rooting my andriod, I ran Titanium Backup but it required root access to work, so I downloaded z4root and universal root apk, it says that my phone is rooted but still Titanium Backup cant detect any root access.
Also my Link2sd App(app2sd alike) also requires root, I think I rooted my phone but still doesn't work. A noob like me really need your help guys.. thanks in advance..
BTW i am running 1.6 andriod firmware.

Easiest way I've found is to use AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I'm on my phone so I can't link it but just go to the development section and look for the post with the program name in the thread title. It's super easy to root with it. Just follow the included directions!

1.6? do you have a t959 vibrant? if you do, you need to get to stock 2.1 JFD, then you can follow these instructions:

or go with the AIO toolbox which is more user friendly

Won't root

Has anybody sucessfuly rooted a Apollo updated to froyo using z4 application downloaded to the phone itself because I did root it with an app when it had eclair but now I can't since I flashed it with froyo. I don't have a PC anymore so I need to use an app. Any ideas will be appreciated.
sent from samsung gt-i5800 froyo

All of the guides in this forum says that z4 doesnt work for froyo and theres not android app for galaxy 3 froyo, you need to use super one click, an app for windows

Yes, use the super one click metod.

Sucessfully rooted with oneclick. Thankyou

How to root t-mobile vibrant with Froyo 2.21,froyo UVKB5 ,

I upgraded my vibrant to the lastest official rom, froyo UVKB5 , juse for those who still looking for the way to root it, I used the Super one click version 1.91 , and it works, remember ,only the version 1.91 will work, all other earlier version will not help you.
Certainly you will have to install the usb driver for Vibrant,
then download the SUPER ONE CLICK software ,
and select "USB DEBBUGING " on your phone,
then open the SUPER ONE CLICK programe,
connect your phone via usb,and click 'Root" ,
when it says done, reboot your phone, there you should get it rooted.

Lol and don't forget tto tell people how to get to clock work mod! Wait do you even know how to? Not trying to be mean bro.

You have to flash a new kernel. Then you can use ROM Manager to flash a new ROM.
I rockin Trigger atm. and I LOVE IT.

Thanks, guy, I'm ok with what I have right now, made this post as I thought it maybe can help someone like me,not very expert.

^ try some of my guides.

Lol no that is not how you do it! You have to have a modified 3e recovery first then you can start flashing things its not as easy as that. Since the 3e recovery checks update.zip you cannot flash clockworkmod that easily you can do it on jfd that easy but not an update which has a 3e recovery!

well how do you flash CMD on 2.2.1 then?

Just wanted to give a quick thank you as this worked perfectly for me! The 2.2 version of super-one-click constantly had me hanging but I'm glad to have found this older version and it worked like a charm

Nope did not work: UVKB5: V1.9.1 "Failed" - V2.2 - Hangs.

wHERE are they right instructions step by step? dont want to make mistake
thanks

If all you are wanting to do is Root the phone, then look in the Q&A stickie for the Noob Guide. Has a flashable Rooter right there. If you can't find it, click the link in my signature.
I have never been able to get Superoneclick to work on any phone I have tried, for various reasons but still...

AIO Vibrant Toolbox
'nuff said.

Yes, it works!

Thank you for this info.
I just spent a day trying to root my Galaxy S Vibrant using SuperOneClickv2.3.3 (after having it updated to Froyo 2.2). It did not work, no matter what I tried.
Finally, I came accross your post, googled for SuperOneClickv1.9.1, dowloaded and followed your instructions. It worked like a charm.
Once again, THANK YOU!
