Galaxy S 2.3.2 Rooting

I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!

The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)

Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.

I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.

Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

It all sounds really helpful! I will try this very soon and I hope it works!
Thank you for your constructive input!

cwm of eu stock with root, unlock, mem and bat fix

Hi to all,
I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm
may be helpful to fruitcakes (they were missing the european ones) or anybody who want to revert to unlocked,rooted stock.
The process I followed was the following:
1. Flash from 2.3.6 based rom to stock 2.3.4 of the european sbf (nordics and greece) 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU (kindly uploaded by haki.gr)
2. unlock (intl fix 1)
3. install romracer's cwm
4. rooting with root_cwm.img
5. memory fix with ramfix.img, and
6. battery fix with jug6 fix2.img
7. cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload
Information (reading from the phone)
System version 45.31.20.MB860.NonEGIGSRetail.en.EU
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband N_01.100.00R
Webtop WT-1.2.0-133_38
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build number 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20
I can't post the link normally because I haven't reached 8 messages, but it is
at filefactory file 24tzdjygmy3z n Cwm-marmoras-stage1-2_3_4-en-eu_zip
(put www and com before and after filefactory and replace spaces with /)
Hope it is helpful

Hi, thanks for this. I tried installing using Koush CWM 5.0.2.0 and I get:
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted."
I'm running a euro atrix (originally t-mobile) SIM unlocked, rooted, currently on CM9 ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Appy,
I tried to flash back, there was a system error, I think I messed up the recovery process. Just to be safe, I will remove the file, redo it, and post an MD5 (just in case of corrupt files).
I don't know if it makes any difference that I used the romracers.

brilliant. thanks a lot!

Hi
Could you send me this fruitcake?
thx

hi and thank you,
You did an excellent thing for lots of European atrix users!
I'd really like to downoad and install your ROM but the link is not working.
Could you please reupload and post the new link, using the same method, with spaces?
Thank you and best regards!

need help

first sorry for my bad english.. im a noob here so on..i need a guide and help to flash a new rom here...will any of "GURU" here help and guide me step by step?
i got this samsung tabs
- Model GT p1000
- build number gingerbread.DXJPE
big thanks in advance

Read this in one of the recent post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698596
Although there we talked about T-Mobile tab, it is exactly the same as p1000
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA

I rooted and installed a custom ROM on the wife’s tab not long ago. Can't give you specifics as you build is different, and my way might be the best (still learning) but it worked.
Flash the latest firmware if you haven't got it already. Do this using Odin and the appropriate rom. Search the forums on how to do this. It's very important to understand how to flash with odin.
Root it. Do by searching for an appropriate root zip, boot into recovery and install. Or other option is to use the SuperOneClick root programme by ShortFuse. I think it works on the P1000. Again, search on forum for how to root. Good to search for “root” and the build number you have.
Find the rom you want and put a copy of it on the tablet somewhere. Reboot into recovery and install zip from location. Most custom rom's come with instructions on how to do this so read carefully.
I know it isn’t detailed but I hope it helps you.

****sx, you won't be able to use DooMLoRD's or SuperOneClick method with OS Version 2.3.6. You need to downgrade to a rootable version first and then root and update. Follow this guide and you will have no issues at all:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Post #2 and point 1.3...that is what u have to do. It is easy and direct. Then u can revert to your current OS version and flash a CF Kernel...hope it helps...:good:

thx glevitan... i will post my experience soon

[Q] Problems with rooting P700 on v10c

Hi there,
I've been looking for a way to root my phone and found petrescu's rooting guide. He said there it was tested on V10 A,C, I. My software is v10c-DEC-07-2012, however the process stucks at "Waiting..." sign in the window.
What am I doing wrong? Debugging is turned ON and LG software installed ;|
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what Petrescu's guide is but I personally used the rooting method from this link and my L7 was rooted within less than 5 minutes!
Follow the link at the end of this website to unlock the bootloader then follow the link for installing CWM and you won't have any issue.
I haven't found a better guide than this so far...

This is petrescu's guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906133
The rooting method is the same, even files package is identical. While rooting, the shell is stuck at "Waiting..." or a little further at "Waiting for /data/local.prop..."
I've attached the screen.

UPDATE: Posting again for visibility.
Apparently, rooting doesn't work because I have v10C local polish version and I need OPEN version of v10c. Can someone tell me how to flash this?

@Macors - why you don't update to newest software and then try to root??
In PL: Zrob poprostu update do najnowszej wersji softu i wtedy najnormalniej rootuj

Ok, I updated the phone to V20C ( Android 4.1.2 ) version. What is the method of rooting this software?
[EDIT] Finally rooted my phone with Framaroot app. Thanks for the "tremendous" support I guess.
