Kies Restore gives ROOT? O.O - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Last week I tried many firmwares but I decided to restore the original one using KIES.
To restore the stock firmware I downgraded to JF3, than used Kies's test mode to update.
After having turned the phone on I went in the info section of the settings and I get these data:
2.1-update1
I9000XXJM2
Kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
ECLAIR.WXJM3
How can be possible that after 2 odin flashes and a kies upgrade I still have root? How can I remove it if I have to send it back for warranty? Thank you very much... have a nice day!

I forgot to say that I used the CSC CSC_I9000HUIHUI that I have found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7822645&postcount=167)

Where are you from? i didnt think JM3 was available over Kies anyway? try flashing again and check re-partition in Odin.
i used the JM1 from here:
https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...ginal Firmwares/Europe/July/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
and it worked fine with no root, make sure u flash CSC, PDA and MODEM

I am Italian... and I updated using Kies_1.5.1.10071_32

you cant have flashed properly, read the steps in the BIG FAQ under app development in this forum. or just do what i said above

I flashed using re-partition, with
s1_odin_20100512.pit
CODE_I9000XXJF3_REV03_LOW.tar
MODEM_I9000XXJF3.tar
CSC_I9000OXAJF3.tar
than I updated via kies

I don't think the "root" in the build details means you have a rooted phone - I believe it's because it was compiled by someone logged in as root on a computer at Samsung. Root on your phone is really just a matter of having the su command and the Superuser Permissions application.
Do you have that application? If you run a terminal emulator and type su, does it work?

I didn't try the su command also because I didn't have the the app in the list. Anyway this is very strange!

I agree this isn't strange at all really, you should only be worrying about this when you actually need to send it in for prepare anyway

What is your kenel version?

Does anybody know how can I change it?

is your phone rooted too?

Rooting your phone has nothing to do with that '[email protected]' string. That is from the firmware developers, probably was there on the JF3 firmware you put on, or was given because you used the test mode.
Rooting your phone doesn't change that [email protected] or [email protected], it is absolutely irrelevant. Your phone is not rooted unless you did it yourself.

is that a problem when you send it for warranty?

Probably. You have installed an experimental beta firmware. But again, it always depends on the guy at the shop.

but I updated via kies o.o

hi all
i have tried and failed to root my galaxy s, i am running froyo and have so far tried super one click and z4root but neither worked.
does anybody any other ways to root it and also which is the best lag fix to use.
my phone is locked to orange and is

Hello,

Please, anyone???
Did u have debugg mode on? Go to..settings>applications>development and tik debug mode or w\e and try again :-D gl

I also have a locked orange phone. with Froyo 2.2:
PDA: BVJP8
Phone: BVJP3
CSC: BVJP8
build: 2010. 12
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
I would like to root my phone, use Titanium backup and them go for 2.2.1 and possibly Darky's stuff, but before I do I would like to hold the files so that I could get back to my current build (in case I have to return the phone).
None of the builds I've seen are explicitly the Orange locked build. Also the root fixes, like SuperOneCLick don't seem to work with 2.2, so it appears if I go for the manual upgrade, I am committing before I can use Titanium to back up my bought apps / data (because Titanium requires phone to be rooted).
Has anyone read Catch-22? can you enlighten me please?

How to restore original firmware/rom?

Tried to find information about this without luck.
I'm runing Roto's rom on my tab but is about to sell it and need to restore the original firmware and rom.
Is this possible? (didn't take any backup when I flashed)
I think the best way is to go to the samfirmware.com website and download & flash an original (jj3 in my case) rom following their guide, using odin?
I didn't try so, I'm running Overcome 1.1.3 myself, so I might want to revert back to stock also one day.
Maybe someone could comfirm or advice any correct way to flash back to stock?
Especially coming from ext4 back to rfs...
Might be worth a sticky :-!

How does this belong in the Development section? Should be in General.!
You're right, wrong section. But I can't see any way to move it.
A little update, I've successfully flashed it with original firmware from samfirmware, but I can't find a version with the scandinavian languages.
So, how did you do it? Details.
I also flashed back to a stock rom yesterday (was running overcome)
XXJK5 as I couldn't flash JJ3, it appears to be impossible to flash a firmware with a hiddenfs.rfs partition?
Flashed xxjk5 with repartition on and it was ok after adding also the multi-csc, otherwhise it boots into recovery with an error about "unable to mount..." and "datadb not found...."
The only thing, there must be some problem with this multi-csc file,
the list of salescodes doesn't contain XEU (*#272*imei#), while this xxj5 rom I downloaded was XEU.
KIES tells me by the way "this version cannot be updated" and I find only 3 apps in samsung apps :-(

Do you mean the input language for swype/samsung keyboard?
Because if you can't select your locale for the os, you could just install morelocale 2 from the market.

Yeah the missing languages is one part of the problem, the other part is that kies just says "this device isn't upgradable"

Hi!
I am from Norway and thinking about rooting my Galaxy tab. But having previously almost screwed up my android phone doing this I am having second thoughts.
Before I am doing any rooting I want to make sure that I can revert back to an unrooted tab. And then I will need to flash my original firmware with odin right? But I have not been able to find this version of my firmware. Can anyone help my find my firmware? Or can I copy the firmware from my tab somehow and copy it back?
My Tab:

Android Version: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 7

I need the correct so i can get the correct input languages.
search for "check fus" program, it downloads the latest version of your tab

[Q] Will the 'Kernel version' containing reference to root invalidate warranty?

Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000BWJV2
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 root at DELL101 #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I had rooted my Galaxy S I9000 using z4root and applied RyanZA's OCLF lagfix, then removed the lagfix and unrooted in preparation for the official firmware update to Gingerbread through Samsung Kies.
Firmware update went fine, but in Settings > About Phone > Kernel version, there is still a reference to root (see above).
My phone is definitely no longer rooted - none of the apps that require root access have it.
The speaker on my phone is now cutting out intermittently and producing distorted crackly sound, so I want to hand my phone in to an approved Samsung Service Centre for repair.
Will this reference to root in the kernel version give away the fact that I'd rooted prior to the firmware update? Will this invalidate the warranty and mean that they won't repair the phone? Or is this mention of 'root at...' something that appears in the 'About phone' screen of an unrooted stock phone anyway?
I'd rather not mess with flashing kernels via Odin etc if I don't have to, but if that's what it takes to get a component failure sorted through an approved service centre then so be it...
Any advice gratefully received.
It appears also on a unrooted firmware. Its the name of the stock kernel and is not affected by rooting.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
that has nothing to do with if your phone is rooted or not. It is just a reference to the builder of that kernel version.

Flash back the original FW through ODIN v1.3.
Original FW can be found on: http://www.samfirmware.com/
(You'll need to register to download)
Click:
Toolbox >> Firmware >> FW Android >> -Select Device and FW of your device- (ODIN can be found here as well including the instructions how to flash).
After flashing they (Samsung Service Center) can't see that you have ever had your phone rooted.
Good Luck

He already is on stock (update through kies) so he doesnt had to flash with odin
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Maybe try doing a factory reset. When I updated from 2.1 to 2.2 using kies the update didn't apply correctly. Once I did a factory reset everything was fine.
It will wipe all of your data and apps though, so if you don't mind losing them then it's no problem.

True, I saw that.
The sollution to reset the kernel is by flashing kernel through ODIN since kernel wasnt updated with the Gingerbread update through Samsung Kies.

You can install cf -root kernel, look at it in forum development
Sent from Galaxy S ICS
thx.
thx for information bt i forgot to say this,
im new here.
so can u link it or something plz?
i could find so many development menu in this forum so i dont knw where i should search that thing.
download superuser from the market, if you can use it then your phone is rooted
thx mate
i can download and run superuser bt theres nothing in it.
no apps list and no log information appears.
does it mean mines not rooted? or yes?
only apps that requires root is displayed in the apps list and log. yeah your phone is rooted if still in doubt find an app in the market that requires root
gud gud gud
hmmmmmm thx.
bt why my phone is so gay if my phones already rooted?
everyone says phones r getting faster at running apps or else but mines so slow.
anything i hav to do for that?
rooting is the same as having administrator rights on windows pc, it doesnt improve anything but instead gives you rights to modify your system. try RAM Manager Free from the market, it can improve your phone.
you can also download CF-Root-ext4-v1.3-Addon.apk from chainfire's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108&highlight=chainfire
after you download the .apk put it in your phone and install it, open the app and click convert to ext4. this is basically a lagfix.
IF u want ur phone faster and stable and long battery life life try to install custom rom. It depends upon ur test which one u like...i suggest you to install DarkyRom its much stable , faster and better battery life..!
HI!
I'm new to rooting and have about the same specs as the guy below, so i wonder if anyone could direct me to a good rooting and flashing guide? I really wanna have ICS on my phone. Could you also direct me to a stable ICS rom?

You won't be able to update officially as long as you are on custom kernel, first flash stock kernel for your stock rom and then update using kies. You can also flash stock GB firmware first and then update officially to 4.0.4.
You do not have to unroot to update using kies.

That's great if you already have GB downloaded, if not then flashing kernel if much short and easy, you can do it using mobile odin. You may be already aware but still, do not try to wipe when you are on stock kernel. Better to wipe before you flash stock kernel, if you choose this way.

Boot loop is normal after flashing GB rom using odin, just boot in stock recovery and wipe data. But do it if you are sure that GB rom was flashed successfully? I mean did you get the "pass" message and all confirmation in odin? If yes then wipe in stock recovery.

Your suggestion didn't solve the problem. I'm still stuck at the boot screen.
Mobile Odin initiated the reboot so I am guess it thought it had finished correctly.

I have tried that too. Odin sees the device checks the files and then stops cold.
Thanks for trying.
Can you post log, what you getting while flashing GB ROM with PC odin
-Disable firewall/antivirus
-Change USB port, don't use extension cable for USB connection
-Rebbot into download mode
-Reflash GB ROM, and any error copy logs and post here.

This morning the nice folks at a Samsung service point, "fixed" my phone. We don't share a common language so all I was able to get out of the conversation was that it was "software" problem.
Here is how it stands now:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version N7000XXLPT
Kernel version
3.0.15-N70000XXLPY-CL474507

The phone is NOT rooted
I assume that the changes resulted from whatever the service people did.
I would still like to get my phone back to stock but that seems like risky business to me.
My thanks to everybody lent a hand.
