Hello!
I am going to be recieving my sgs tomorow!
I am already a htc desire owner so i am no stranger to the android world.
What buffled me was the ammount of differences with sgs..so manny scattered and cluttered info..
Rooting should be fine with z4root i guess..but all the rest of the stuff like 3 button combo fixes,lag fixes gps fixes and many many other terms i do not know..like : odin, pit , jig , cf , jpy and more..
Anyone could give me some guidance? or at least in what order am i supposed to do those things in so i do not brick my device , please?Thank you!Hope i have a nice time with u guys in this subforum.!

Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.
thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

Got the Galaxy Note and runs great...Im just wondering if rooting is something i should take the time to learn and do. . does it really make the phone/experience that much better
I know when i had an iphone I would jailbreak it and would never use a factory set iphone .. is it the same thing with Android?
im sure this question has been asked time and again on this forum, but figured i would ask Note users. .
when rooting is there a chance to "brick" the note or do any permanant damage or is it all reversible? . .
thanks for any input. .

Use this method to root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
easy and fast rooting.
will not increase counter.
Wun brick your phone for rooting. Your phone might only brick when you flash roms or kernels.
But after rooting, you will get CWM, flashing from there will hardly brick your phone.
Read up on backups like Nandroid backups & titanium backups.
Don worry too much. Just root it!
If you have been jailbreaking the iphone, this shouldn't be over your head
I prefer to stay as close to unmodified as I can for as long as I can.
Rooting and flashing ROMs really breathes new life into a device, and the novelty of the galaxy note is still fresh for me.
Congratulations for seeing the light. In regards to the phone switch

face it you will root sooner or later and, to be frank, there is nothing scary it it.
Let's meet in 2 weeks you would have rooted and running a custom rom by then ;o)
Thanks for the replies. .
I think going to go ahead and root. .that Rocket Rom looks really nice..
I'm trying to install TheWhisp Rom Called.. CM9 For My Jena... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012939 ..
My Model Is GT-6500D I Installed this CM9 and always Aborting ,.. It said because The ro.product.model Doesn't Match.. :/ . Status 7.
The CM9 ro.product.model=GT-S6500 .. And Mine ro.product.model=GT-S6500D ... Any one can fix the problem.. i,ve changing The Build.Prop On The CM9 File.. (System/Build.prop) To ro.product.model=GT-S6500D .. But Still Won't WORK!!! TheWhisp Said He Bought GT-6500D. and i'm trying to install it on my GT-6500D But Keeps Aborting....
Does Any one can help me?.. I'm sick of Gingerbread .
I'm a newbie.. .
redownload it and try again
the rom is not for 6500D you should not flash it or else you will end up soft bricking
i think its supposed to be for 6500D since that's the phone Whisp is using to port cm10 for it. Problem is development is in a very early stage and lots of things not working so there is no point in flashing it unless your helping Whisp with testing.

You are sick of Gingerbread? Why, may I ask? God...
Besides that, since you're a newbie, it's better for you and your phone to stay stock until TheWhisp finishes what he needs to finish.
Don't consider this a criticism towards you specifically, but there's an alarming rise in number of people on this forum that don't have the slightest idea on what they are doing with their phones. Fiddling, flashing, messing with critical system files without knowing the consequences of their actions.

ha ha ha
is there a way to root without triping knox? Or is any1 working on it?
Maybe if you wanted a partial root like snapdragon models....but if you want custom recovery then no.
I just want to delete few apps Cuz I like Stock
First time Samsung and I am very happy with that <3
Awww, from my experience. if you partially rooted it and tried to put the phone back to official or non rooted status then it wont boot unless you reset it again so it kind of wont work. honestly though most of these custom roms are pretty good like Renovate N95x for the note 8, best rom from my own experience.
k but I never had so expensive Phone . I am too scared that something might go wrong :/ I'll wait with root a month or more if that. thx 4 help
