Hey guys,
I rooted my I9000 running froyo:
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
PDR: I9000XXJP3
Phone: I9000XXJP2
CSC: I9000XXXJP3
by using Super One Click and it rooted fine and installed superuser. Now I was hoping to use the Vodoo Lagfix for Froyo using the update.zip method but I needed 2e but I had 3e. So I found CF-Root, but I didn't know which one to use for my phone. Somewhere along the line, I decided to try and use Odin to just use the .tar file to do the lagfix, but it required my phone to go into download mode. You see, when I was running eclair, I was able to do the three button boot to recovery, but after using Keis and getting Froyo, I havn't been able to boot in recovery or get my phone into download mode. <--- Download mode is required for me to use Odin right?
So please help a beginner ^^
Hey guys I did some more hard out searching and found this which was able to fix my 3 button boot issue.

Hello im attempting to Root my SGS so i can eventually install a CM7 Nigtly on it but im running into to problems EVERYWHERE.
I have flashed a SGS last year when it was on eclair and had no problem at all but no matter what i try i cant root or flash 2.3.3
According to the *# key combo to find out firmware i have
PDA: I9000BUJV9
PHONE: I9000BUJV3
CSC: I9000GVODJV5
i tried rooting using fuguroot and heimdall but got "Failed to access device -12", tried using odin and it failed. i even tried gingerbreak and nothing.
Can someone point me to a thread that will let me root my phone so i can put CWM onto it then CM7.
Sorry this is such a messy question i have been trying to make it work for getting on for 12 hours.
See this link (http removed cause i only have 6 posts) for my Version information - desmond.yfrog.com/Himg611/scaled.php?tn=0&server=611&filename=rfw.png&xsize=640&ysize=640
Hmmm...
Download 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 or whatever GingerBread firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.
Let say you downloaded 2.3.5. You flash it via Odin with .pit file & with re-partition ticked. Then you go to developement section, you pick one of the Kernels with JVT support and flash it via Odin (put the kernel you downloaded to PDA box)
Then you have rooted SGS and you can try Recovery mode by pressing Vol up + Menu button + power button at the same time when the phone is shutted down. press the buttons until you see SGS logo.
Hope this helps you.
If you have any questions, you can drop me a PM
Hi all!
I just got a Galaxy S i9000m, it came stock (unrooted).
I've been reading + searching trying to find out how I can root this then flash a different rom. I'm a little confused in finding the easiest way to do this.
My phone stats from the settings:
-Firmware 2.3.3
-Baseband I9000UKGKG3
-Kernel 2.6.35.7 I9000UKGKG3 [email protected] #2
-Build GINGERBREAD.GKG3
I can press the volume up+down + power on and get into the recovery menu
I can also do the volume down + power and get into the download screen.
Can someone link me to where the tutorial for this is? I've found the cf root thread, but I don't know where to dl ODIN.
Also, since I can get into recovery (3 button method) can I just flash the update .zip to root?
Thanks for any input you can give me.
Download Odin 1.85 here
Just flash ChainFire's kernal with Odin and it should have busybox and superuser pre-installed along with root. Just make sure you use the right kernal CF made for 2.3.3
I have the same phone as you, and it also came as 2.3.3 UGKG3 stock, but what I did was just flash it to JVT 2.3.5 and used ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.5 root and then speedmod since I wasn't sure if ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.3 would work with UGKG3 since it's the North American version.
double post.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm sorry I tried to follow your steps but I'm lost could you provide me with some links ?
I'm trying to follow your instructions but Chainfire's thread doesn't list what kernels are JVT 2.3.5 are these kernels the same as speedmod? I'm sorry I'm a total noob!
I tried these .tar files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 but all that keeps happening is that my galaxy stays in the boot screen.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211939 , and it doesn't seem to be a full root because when i try and get into cwm it says E;cannot mount etc..
What am I doing wrong or missing?
Hey everyone. So I have an SGS2 rooted and running a custom rom and now am doing the same with a bell i9000m.
I used Kies to update to 2.3.3.
However, no matter what kernel I flash, I always have a boot loop. I have NO CWM and I would like to get that for the ability to hard reset...
I can only really access Download mode. Tried flashing back to stock 2.3.3 KG3 rooted kernel and still no luck. Tried CF Root JVP 3.7 (to get CWM) and still no cwm and a boot loop.
If I have updated to 2.3.3 doesn't that mean I have the gingerbread bootloader now? No matter what kernel I flash, I always seem to be getting a freaking boot loop, but it should be working....
Am I flashing the wrong firmware version or something? Or just getting unlucky with boot loops (Seeing as how CF root won't even boot)
Just kinda confused because for CF root you are supposed to install a version with a similar version model (JVP,ect) but the i9000m had JL2 (for froyo), and KG3 (for gingerbread) which are not options for CF-root
Hi I rooted my galaxy s i9000 on 2.2 Froyo. When I boot into recovery, I only have standard Samsung 2e recovery. I have tried using rom manager to flash clockworkmod but it is not working. I have also tried using the update.zip in recovery but is sayin its not verified. So I am looking for Help
Thanks
When you boot into recovery, do the 3 button Vol up + Home + Power again! It should then load into CWR.
Help
Do you mean once in samsung 2e recovery do the three button combo again and you should go into cwm??? I just tried that and it didn't work. Any more suggestions?? I reckon that I must of just missed something
Help
Please help...
In which way you rooted your phone?
Did you install custom kernel or something?
I don't remember much about Froyo, since when I got my SGS I updated to 2.3 almost straight away.
Root 2.2
I rooted my phone on 2.2 using the one click root application for the computer

Man rooted your phone with this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Possibly when did the cell root, put the stock kernel without cwm. You only need to download a custom kernel for example CF-Root or SpeedMod, you should look which is the PDA version installed and according to that you download the correct version. When you install it you will have access to cwm by the combination of the three buttons (Vol + + Home + Power)
hi there, don´t know if I can ask something about CWM here too????
I´ve got Firmware 2.3.3 Gingerbread, Basisbandversion I9000XXJVO, Kernel [email protected]#2, Buildnumber Gingerbread.XWJVI
can´t run CMW via Rom Manager as i´ve got 3e recovery ..... which ROM shall I flash via Odin to get the 2e recovery to install Vlockwork Mod properly??
tx in advance !!!!
Hey guys,
So recently I tried rooting my phone with CF-Root and Odin, and then it went into a boot loop of just the Galaxy S on startup.
I eventually found out about Heimdall and right now I'm running 2.2.1 Froyo with Build XWJSD.
Problem is, that the phone doesn't read the SD card? Like it will see the SD Card, scan it, and say it's finished scanning but then it won't let me access it either in CWM or through the Android UI itself.
Any ideas? I just want to get MIUI installed haha.
Well I just tested the SD card in another phone and it works fine. So it's definitely the software/rom I'm using now I think.
Is there anything I can do to make this work. Maybe like a completely stock 2.2.1, that is guaranteed to work haha? I just need this card to be read. Because even when I plug the phone and run Kies, Kies doesn't recognize the version of the firmware. And If I try to use superoneclick root, it also doesn't recognize the version of the firmware.
So right now I'm using 2.2.1 XWJSD, which stock rom should I install with odin or Heimdall to make this work?
Thanks a lot again.
Head over to this thread and download JVZ (Gingerbread 2.3.6), flash with Odin with re-partition checked, then head over to Chainfire's thread for CF-Root kernel for JVZ and flash that through Odin as well.
Forget about Kies since you'll no longer be using that to update firmware and whatnot.
CF-Root will come with CWM installed, so after you get that done, download MIUI and flash through CWM
Thanks a lot will try it out.
This CF-Root right? CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Unfortunately the phone is stuck in a bootloop now after installing 2.3.6 JVZ.
Did you make sure re-partition is checked? If it still bootloops after re-partition then try JVT or some other stock ROM and see if that boots up before applying the CF-Root kernel
Yeah I made sure re-partition is checked, and I installed it with the 512 pit file, unless I shouldn't be using the .pit?
your gona have to reflash the rom or install arom thats already rooted you could try darky 10.2 re or check out puggerduk on tube

MIUI is running based on Android 2.3, I found the Android forum that helps me well enough to do my first flashing and rooting. Here is what you need to try to do:
1. Flash your i9000 with XXJVU 2.3.6 ( Value Pack ):
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
2. Root your I9000 with CF-Root-XX OXA JVU 2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/
Do everything on the post and you can install MIUI ROM from recovery straight away after that.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider press 'THANKS' button
