[Q] Recovery Mode - adb shell - No root permission - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have JM8 installed and rooted + lag fix applied.
I rooted my SGS with the one click lag fix v2 - app from the market.
Rooting is working (for example I installed Quickboot, Rootexplorer <-- these tools are working fine)
When I connect my phone with my laptop and I type:
1.)adb sehll
2.)su
I got root permissions, indicated by the #-symbol.
But when Im in Recovery Mode(Volume Up + Home + Power) and connect my phone with my laptop and do the same:
1.)adb shell
2.) su
I got the message permissions denied
Can anyone tell why I cant get root permissions during recovery mode?
I've talked to other people and the are able to get root permissions during recovery mode!
thx in advance

May be it depends on how you rooted the device.

Yeah, I also thought about that, does somebody know a "better" way to do it(as I sayed I did it with One Click Lag Fix v2 from the market)

well you can ask person(s) (as you mentioned in first post) who has access during recovery mode, How they rooted?

Yes I already asked, but thema problem is they flashed
Froyo(jpk). So they used the kernel swap method posted somewhere here in the forum.

3 Button Question

My Captivate is one of the unlucky phones that download mode is deactivated. I've searched the forums only to see bricks everywhere when people are rooting with this problem. Is there a safe way to flash or an adb fix that allows you to enable without the risk of bricking my phone? I purchased my phone used and cannot warranty my phone due to this so I don't have room for error. I'm tired of my stock ROM lag and bloatware. Its been interesting adjusting to this stock ROM after using Cyanogenmod for so long on my old phone. Ideas anyone?

You could flash this to get you back to stock with the 3 button fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
then you can flash away.

I am stock. My 3 button doesn't work. If I root and something messes up, I cannot get into download or recovery mode to fix it.
I can't even get into download mode via adb. I'm just at a loss.

I know I would be if I could get into download mode in order to do so. It is a requirement to flash this, that's my problem.
I hold the volume buttons and insert the USB and nothing happens but the phone charges and the battery is displayed on the screen.
I've loaded all of the software and tried to do this on two computers. One runs Windows 7 64bit and the other runs Windows Vista 32bit. I don't think it's a driver issue, I can adb into the phone but I am also denied permission when I try to use commands like adb reboot download on both computers.
I don't know what's going on but it's a lot more complicated than I've dealt with. I can't find anyone having the problems in the forums or anything.
This happened to me too when I went to stock using the odin that DG posted a while back. What's weird though is that I was able to get into dl mode no problem. I've flashed my phone just fine 3 times up until today when I went to flash the most recent cog. I used that odin to flash back to stock. At that point, I could no longer get into dl mode.. dunno. But, I had already rooted since going to stock. So, I just proceeded to flash. Weird. I'll follow this thread to see what the fix is.

I see now. Are you familiar with ADB? You can just use the adb reboot download command while your phone is plugged in and it will reboot into download mode. You have to have Android SDK installed and all your Samsung USB drivers installed as well.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the part where you couldn't do adb reboot download. Have you tried the one-click root?

Shouldn't I be able to get into recovery/ download mode before I even think about altering the phone? A simple error could cause a problem I could easily fix in recovery. Without recovery my phone would be bricked. Should I worry about this?

Well, I can relate because I don't have a 3-button phone either. What I did was first root my phone with the 1-click posted in the forum, that way, you can use adb and get into download mode. Then flash the Stock with 3-button fix, then flash whatever cog rom you want. I have used that method and everything has worked fine for me, but of course, follow those instructions at your own risk.

Thanks, I didn't even think about needing SU to be able to get into download mode.
I used 1 click root, did the 3 button fix, and flashed clockwork with Rom Manager. I've got it going now. Thanks a lot.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S 1900m Canada

my lack of knowledge/terminology been sitting here for hours trying to root my phone with no luck. I know it is doable through ADB but I tried installing it and it didnt work. I tried the one click root method too but when it gets to the "repackage files" step, I just plain don't have the option on the menu, here are the options
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format internal sd card
when I press the update.zip it says unverifiable whatever. ( not in the mood to reboot it just for this)
is there anything on here that actually is just straight up for a beginner?
I am completely confused past this point.
Try using Superoneclick v1.5.5
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You're on jl2 right?
Problem is: Recovery 3e is verifiing signature on update.zip file, you'll have to get on Recovery 2e in order to root from an unsigned update.zip.
you can probably use the search fonction to find the "how To" easely. It took me less than 10 minutes gettings mine rooted.
Personnaly, all I did is flash another kernel with Odin
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
K So I upgraded to the kernel you told me to and it booted up normally I have my market back and the superuser permissions but when I press superuser permissions it doesnt show anything other than settings which only have two trivial options.
what do I do from here.

That is fine if you have the superuser app show up, that means it's rooted. You won't see anything in there until an app needs superuser permission. Download titanium backup when you first boot it you well be prompted for superuser access click allow then next time you go into superuser app you will draw titanium backup in the list.

I'm on JL2 i9000m too and rooted with SuperOneClick.
Sup guys, I've got the Bell I9000M in Canada aswell, bought it less than a month ago, and I am not on JL2.
I, instead am on JK4.
What do I have to do to root my JK4 I9000M?
Any replies would be helpful. In the end, I would love to be able to get Darkys Rom on my phone, but no one responds in that thread nor does anyone really know what to do with my phone version.
If anyone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks
Help pls
OK so to start off i had this samsung galaxy s GT-I9000M from bell and i was trying to upgrade it so that my sister could use a newer version of android and not the boring v.2 . ANYWAYS I rooted it then reboot it and it was stuck at the splash screen so i thought it was stuck and i searched for a way to fix it which was to get the PDA PHONE CSC and PIT files and put them in odin and hope for the best. well that turned out horribly wrong. i ended up getting the phone stuck in some boot loop where it flashes a white screen and turns of and it does this constantly :crying::crying::crying: I can still get to download mode but not recovery mode for some reason...... PLS HALP

Bootloader button combos does nothing.

Been trying to do this for two days straight now and I'm going bananas...
Got a GT540 with stock 2.1, now rooted with z4.
Gone thru a shipload of tutorials on how to flash a ROM onto this, downloaded lots of files to make winxp behave and find the drivers.
Somehow these tutorials miss something and I just float in space...
I can't get the phone into bootloader mode to even start the process.
- Camerabutton (all the way down) + Power does only normal boot.
- Camerabutton (all the way down) + USB cable insertion does normal boot.
(it's not even possible to have it to stay shut when USB is connected to PC, it restarts immediately)
- Home + Power does a boot in safe mode.
- VolDown + Power does a Download mode.
Please help me get past this step.
My aim is to get CM7 on it.
you need to install a fastboot rom to install clockwork and cm7
Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App
You could try this (but I think you need plenty of ram free):
1) install Terminal Emulator app from Market.
2) Copy the img file for Clockworkmod Recovery to the root of your sdcard and call it "recovery.img".
3) run Terminal Emulator and type in "su" and press enter. It will request SuperUser rights - accept this.
4) next type in "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" and press enter
5) reboot into recovery (hold camera + press power)
6) back up your phone
It will either work or it won't but if it does you'll have recovery and from there you should be able to install a recovery image of CM7... But I've never tested it But you would have your backup if it didn't work...
Sorry it's speculative - others might have more experience.

When entering this world as a newbie, there are -so- many details folks take for granted that I simply don't understand.
What's the difference between a fastboot rom and a flashed rom?
What and why clockwork?
The russian fastboot image found here does it come in any other language as v2.00?
@fishears: I'll try that if I don't run into lack of memory, as you pointed out.
would you like me to remote control your computer to get you up and going using CM7?

Ran into a brick wall when it came to mount the SD-card.
It was FAT, now it is FAT32 - no change.
Read something about activating adb thru debugging mode - but I must've missed something, it doesn't work.
What's wrong?

Nope, didn't work, not even after low-level formatting.
But I had a spare SD-card, put it in and it worked right away. Seems like cm7 not accepting every sdcard-brand.
I do not know what the brands are, None are known, and no logos.

[Q] [H] CWM Help Please!

Hi, I recently updated to ZV8 and when I try to install CWM Recovery using MTs way :
After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat.
After my phone is plugged in as internet mode and I open up the .bat file. I restart and I still dont have the recovery option. How do I go through this process?
Also, It seems like my Swype is broken. Everytime I bring up the keypad to Swype it hides right away and I end up using the default LG Keyboard.

Clear the data in the application. it fixed mine
you can just run the important bit from terminal emulator.
I copied cwmrecovery.img to data/local/temp then ran
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
followed by
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

They recovery option wont be there because you are still running the stock zv8 rom. Use rom manager to gain access to it or shut of the phone and hold down the power and volume down buttons. If you flash the new Broken out Revo it will display the recovery option.

If your reset put you back to stock zv8 (check settings> about phone) then you will not be able to root/cwm.
You'll have to push the zv7 tot, root with zv7 aio, run bat in "easiest" thread, ota to zv8, run bat again for recovery.
Lots of steps but not terrible. All instruction is available in development. I'd post links but I'm on my phone and have been awake going on 24hrs now. I reserve the right to be slightly lazy. Ha

I was in the process of doing you V7 -> v8 Root and got stuck on the CWM install as well. I believe I have the right drivers installed since I can access my SD cards from my comp. I am in internet and Debug mode on the phone. When I run the batch it just permanently stalls on "Daemon started Successfully."
I know the Batch installer for the kindle fire has a function to let you know if it see the device. That would be useful in this case if there is a way to do that.Anyone have any ideas where I am gong wrong?
