Seriously?!? rooting i9000 on 02 UK, HELP pls!

Hi guys,
I've been trying to root an SGS for 4-5 hours now and no success. I've tried one click methods and I tried Odin, but it doesn't recognise the phone. I did searches on xda and google but nothing I found worked. Maybe the problem lies because this phone is locked on 02 uk?
The current phone info is:
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband: I9000ADJM1
kernel: [email protected] #2
build number: eclair.adjm1
* Also, I cannot boot into recovery or download mode with the 3-button thing*
I'm trying to root this and put the jellybean beta 3 on it. I'm doing this for a friend, so I'm not familiar with SGS rooting and flashing, I'm on a HTC desire myself and I found rooting that a breeze.
I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know how to root this thing and upgrade it, preferably a method that works with the O2 phone.
Sorry again if this information has been posted but I've been unable to find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Vlad

To unlock your sgs i9000 try an app on google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5oZWxyb3ouZ2FsYXh5c3VubG9jayJd) and some others (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=unlock+sgs)
For your root kernel (flash the zip in pda in odin) check out Chainfire's root kernels from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 Pretty extensive list so you should get sorted.
If you can't find the root kernel, try updating your official samsung firmware using the samsung kies software which you can download from their website. I did this with my i9000 and got onto 2.3.4 gingerbread and upgraded from there.
Hope this helps?

ALSO TRY SUPERONECLICK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182 THIS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK ON ALL ROMS 2.2.1 AND ABOVE!

You can't flash without Download Mode.

With no Download Mode, get a Download Jig.

Thanks everyone, managed to update it with Kies to 2.3 (worked this time somehow). Then put CFroot on it, worked fine... then messed up trying to flash JB on it (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738 )
at the moment I'm stuck in a bootloop, I can access recovery and download mode, but recovery can't detect any storage so I'm unable to flash any rom or wipe data... any ideas?

Did you unlock your phone before like the other posts suggested ?.
If you did not you can run into all sorts of problems so make sure is unlocked for all sims before modifying.

Nope I wasn't able to unlock it since it wasn't rooted. It's fine now, managed to get GB working on it again then upgraded to ICS from CWM with full wipe. Gave it back to my friend to use today and I haven't had any angry phone calls to complain either because I did it right or because the phone's not working
I'll use one of the apps mentioned above to unlock it later and I'll try and get JB on it if I have the time.
Thank you all again for your help!

You're welcome :-$

No. It doesn't matter if it is Carrier locked or not. As for OP:
1. Flash semaphore ICS kernel via Odin in PDA
2. Then boot into recovery from there
3. Now flash the jellybean ROM
4. Now reboot recovery and wipe data/factory reset from new recovery.
5. Enjoy. Also I recommend either slim bean or cm9 for your ROM, since they are aosp and compiled from source.
Also FYI the only stand alone kernel that works with jellybean is devil kernel rc3

First time flashing your i9000 and your using Jelly Bean?!! It's still very unstable at the moment. It's realy slow booting up.Try Cm9 RC2 dude you'll not be disappointed. It's a flyer!!

Actually my jelly beam ROM boots up faster than cm9, and is just as stable. It is my daily driver, its awesome. Everything works fine!
But not gonna lie the lastest rc cm9 builds are super fast. And perfect. His choice though

[Q] Updated Sprint Galaxy S4 JDQ39.L720VPUAMF9 update and no longer rooted

So I am a Noob, used the forum to update my Samsung Galaxy S4, this morning I woke up, sprint had a phone update, after my update, I realized that my phone is no longer rooted, and when I try and connect to internet via wifi, phone gives a warning states
Prevention Information ( To protect device its recommended you reboot)
I used root checker and I am no longer rooted.
Now Im running:
Software version and Baseband version: L720VPUAMDL
Hardware: L720.08
Android 4.2.2
Model number SPH-L720
Build number: JDQ39.L720VPUAMF9
Kernel: 3.4.0-953334
Not sure what to do? Would like to go back to be rooted, but I'm ok with going back to stock phone and unrooting
I am a Noobie, so although someone comfortable with instructions, still a Noobie
Thanks
Mike

Be careful which forum you get your info from. You posted in the Galaxy S 4G forum.
Moved to Sprint S4 forum

Please allow me to redirect you to this forum.

[Q] S4 Canadian Virgin Mobile - Rooting Troubles

Hi All,
I've spent all day trying to figure this out. I'm a pretty tech-saavy dude too, so I've finally decided to join this forum to post for help.
Carrier
Virgin Mobile
Model Number:
SGH-1337M
Baseband Version
I337MVLUAMG1
Kernel Version
3.4.0-897376
[email protected] #1
Build Number
JDQ39.I337MVLUAMG1
I've followed numerous guides and even 'successfully' rooted my phone using Odin, however when I launch applications like 'RootCheck' and 'Titanium' they both tell me it's not rooted, even though everything went as planned.
My gut feeling, based on some research, is that the stock firmware is overwriting my rooting stuff (I don't know the terminology yet!) when it boots up.
Anyway, I really want to root this bad boy! I just switched to the S4 after 6 long years of iPhones so I'm real stoked to get it feeling the way I want.
Could someone provide me a link to some proper files? I think that's where I get lost.
I currently already have downloaded and attempted to root using this:
- Samsung USB Driver (just verifying I do have this)
- Odin v3.07
- CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jfltevl-sghi337m.tar
Thanks in advance!

CF-Autoroot works on N5120, so i guess it should work fine on N5100 also.
And if you are already on a rooted 4.1.2, just install Mobile Odin and flash new firmware with Everroot checked

Thanks. And i have another question, why is Mobile odin sure for root 4.2.2 N5100?

Anyone who already flashed it? does it fix the screen freeze issue?? and another question, If i flash it manually via odin, will it retain my installed apps?

Someone writes that what's inside CSC codes, please.
I know it's DBT (default), but there's more?
THX!

Flashed with mobile odin pro with everroot - failed, Got into bootloop on cwm with message "Failed to root". Finally , Restored backup . Back with 4.12.

I would like to ask the same thing, especially the screen freeze issue.

Flashed new ROM.
Am I only one who faces this issues?:
1. S Note became laggy when opening/closing note
2. S-pen pointer is shifted 1-2 mm down from true position (maybe if there is any calibration software?)

I can't download from hotfile, please mirror it

Just did something foolish, but after taking few precautions, did it anyways. I flashed system and kernel from this to n5110 with mobile Odin pro. Did not dare flashing cache (csc) and rest as mobile Odin needs stock recovery to flash cache and really wanted to keep custom for obvious reasons.
It booted and working fine except for chaton and messaging app crashing, which I disabled at root.
Plus side is that in conjunction with Google voice app and magic jack I can use phone dialler to make phonecalls now. On WiFi only off course.
***"""Still testing so strongly urge people not to try this unless they know what they're doing. "" "***
This will not work with n5120 system and kernel combination firmware. It does not boot. Although system by itself can be flashed successfully over earlier n5110 leak, but 5ghz WiFi bug from that leak remains.
If you don't clean your internal card properly before hand, the old files remain trapped and you only have access to new directory tree, so either move files to external beforehand or do a reset to free used space (did not reset myself and will try not to).

I see this mentioned once in a while but have never seen a screen freeze on any version firmware of my note 8.0.
Perhaps its a cpu thing. I usually install setcpu first thing on any rom after rooting.

Perhaps it's a cpu thing but it's Samsung s job to fix it. I think it's an unexpected bug for a Note

[Q] S4 will not root

I have a brand new Galaxy S4 for AT&T and nothing will work to root this phone. Tried motochopper. When I run adb file as administrator the black box pops up for about 2 seconds and then its gone. Doesn't install SuperUser.
Also tried Odin 3.09 and the ID box says ):[COM4] and is always blue instead of yellow. Tried reinstalling the drivers restarting etc and its the same. When I hit "Start" it always fails.
Also tried the Kingo ROOT, it gets the phone into download mode and at the Recovery step, it fails.
Even Tried Terminal Emulator and once again, it would fail saying it couldn't find files even though they were on the SD card and it was formated correctly
I'm really stuck here and ready to give up. Please help!
Phone is SGH-I337, running Android 4.4.2 Kernel 3.4.0-1125940

What files are you using to root your s4?

Since you just purchase the s4 you must be on build NB1 which there is no single method to root developed. To root your phone you need to downgrade to MK2.

And which recovery are you using?
You can try to flash the standard Galaxy S4 rom (non-branded) via Odin, and then try to root that rom
Did you try to flash a pre-rooted custom rom? This might also help, and you might get a better rom (performance/battery-life)

Its not about root the latest phones comes with a version that the bootloader its locked. This phones are limited to Touch wiz roms due to the new decision of AT&T to lock the bootloader. There is nothing we can do until some body find a way to do it.

Same thing--I am on the original phone so not an expert on SafeStrap. Just know you need to not use any old methods and start reading in General/Q&A on any thread about nc1/nb1 and SafeStrap. I would post on there for advice from members like ted. There has also been a lot of similar questions on this thread:

Now why would AT&T make it so hard / impossible to modify your device? They don't gain any advantage of it do they?
Sent from my unknown using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The main advantage is you can't use custom rooms to get around some of the blocked features. That way they can charge for those features.
It also allows them to go after the corporate contracts that want a more locked down device. The Government has been looking for a successor to the BlackBerry.
