Greeting all my friends,
Recently, I got a T Mobile myTouch 3G. I want to make something with it, and I've been search over XDA to root & install a custom rom for it. However, all the download links were dead. Could you help me. My phone is currently running Android 2.3.3 with Baseband 62.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25 and Build number FRK76C.
Thank you!

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.

Where are you from? do you know spanish?
Let try to help you with that. Does your phone has an app named superuser?
I am from North Carolina and no I do not speak Spanish yes it has superuser so it is unlocked and rooted I was wanting to know if it has a custom rom installed
If you go to settings>About Phone> Check the Android version. Stock is 2.2.1. Should also say under I belive under kernal version should have the word kobe and att. That help?
this is what I see under about phone
android version : 2.2.1
baseband version : EPU93_U_00.58.00
kernel version : 2.6.32.9-g018f4c1
[email protected]#1
build number : 3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4
Your stock. No custom rom has touched your phone. You may be rooted too which gives you superuser permissions but there is a major difference between rooted and unlocked. If you can put any-other sim card besides AT&T and still be allowed to boot up the phone without it saying "Network Locked" and asking for a password then it is unlocked. Does that answer your question and any future one too?
HELP PLEASE!
Just tryed to root my Samsung Galaxy TAB GT-P1000 (original 7" 3G Model)
ROM is Samsung 2.3.3 gingerbread.xwjp9 .. i realy need to find this download or the stock kernel to flash back to get 3g
i flashed CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar to it to get root etc not knowing that it was ment only for the GSM models which in terms means wifi only i guess as now my tab no longer has Market Place nor trys to connect to Mobile Network.
Any one got a download link or a rooted Kernel that will work PLZ!!
I don't know much about CF-Root method of rooting.
But.. "meant for GSM modem" does not mean wifi only.
It means not for CDMA or Wifi version.
You may want to grab the GB Stock Save v5 from Overcome website.
The thread is here

Follow the instruction guide but you really only need to do the very first step.
Unfortunately the guide page has broken pictures.
Edit:
See this post, phlooke has kindly posted a google cache copy of the original page that still has pictures.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22173039&postcount=1062
So just follow the guide for Re-stocking and stop there if you don't want to switch to overcome ROM

I've been trying to find a way to root this phone for about a week now. All the guides I've found on here are either outdated or having missing files. And haven't had anyone reply to my post for help. If you find a way I'd appreciate it if you could let me know, and if I find anything that works I'll let you know. Good luck.
Hello everyone,
I used to be a frequent supporter of the development community here back when I had the Samsung Infuse. It seems that in the time since, Samsung has made it difficult to root phone and install recovery methods properly. I've done my best using the search functions on this site, but there are so many results that show up, and most are outdated.
I am trying to figure out what tools to use to root my phone, and how to properly install clockwork mod recovery.
Here is the information on my phone:
Model: SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: I337UCUFNJ4
If you require any more information to help me out please let me know.
I appreciate the help in advance!
You're but going to be able to use cwm, safestrap is the only recovery you can use. To root see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56738573. For recovery look in the general forum for guide, all things at&t...
