[Q] Can I root without custom kernel

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.

[Q] N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_XME - Kernel (Malaysia)

Dear Chainfire,
Can you help to make CF-Root for this N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_XME - Kernel that can update from CWM?

Please go to CF-Root thread and download the firmware to revert to older rom plus root. Then
1) buy Chainfire's Odin Mobile and use it to flash N7000DXLA1_N7000OLBKL2_XME.
or
2) flash any custom ROM via CWM recovery.

I just PM to him.....hope he will reply my PM!

No feedback at all from Chainfire.......

Just update to this latest version.
Lighting fast and solves the problem of hanging and inability to read the apps in Ext SD. So fast has not experience that problem yet - touch wood.
Has a few Launcher Installed (ADW, 360, & Go Launchers) all working well.
Still has the original Tw Launcher but hardly it now.
Quite happy with the stock rom now. Has no intention to root it, yet.
Will continue to wait for updates from Samsung and hope ICS will come along soon.

Hi mate
Can you get into recovery mode to flash another rom ? If not follow one of the rooting guilds in the android dev forums. I had loads of trouble rooting my note and getting everything to work. Don't worry I was in your situation and you can get out of it just have a look at all the rooting guides. In the end from what I remember I flashed via PC Odin a stock pre rooted version of ICS think it was the nordic version i then flashed the rom I wanted through recovery CWM
Hope this helps

Abyssnote is for GB, thats why u cant boot back into ICS. Suggest PC Odin and flash Stock ROM from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (try different ones of WIFI no-good) plus follow rooting instructions contained therein. If tar file, use Odin, if zip, use Abyss (Just reboot straight back into it)
PS: Dont flash or wipe on stock ICS or CF-Root- ICS Kernels.

Relax man. What is this aggression for?
-----
@op AbyssNote is for Gingerbread.
Use only ICS kernels on ICS not even CM9.
Flash stock ICS rom. Root it then flash SpeedMod or NoteCore kernel using HC K-Tool.

id suggest he revert back to stock rom and read a lot before doing any stunts with his phone.

Don't panic. Flash any ics kernel such as franco r6 or speedmod k3-6 by using "PC ODIN", then you will be fine.
Bear in mind, if u use pc odin to flash kernel u will get binary count increase and yellow triangle. But don't worry, you can use "move triangle" to reset the binary count to zero and remove the triangle.
Good luck.

1) Download the zip fie from the link given at the end of post.
2) Put it on to the SD Card
3) Switch off ur Phone.
4) Enter Stock Recovery by pressing Power+Home+Vol.up buttons at once and hold.

Good to know. Could you please provide step-by-step detail. I have JB 4.1.2 XXLSJ installed on the GT-I9100. I tried ODIN v1.85 and 3.04 but it does not take the Philz CWM 3.1 zip file. It looks for tar, smd, md5, gz, tgz. What steps do I need to take to make this file work with ODIN?

Is it possible to unroot this firmware? I have Philz Kernel installed. Reason for wanting unroot is I want to use the Pingit app which requires an unrooted phone. I plan to re root after using it.

[Q]

supppose my phone is not rooted i am using a sgy
what if i directly flash rom zip
will it work?
If it work what is thee need of an update zip?

The need if a update.zip is to root your phone only and install the superuser app. It is safer to root before u flash because the chances of success are higher. If u got bricked go here to ask.
