Kies Restore gives ROOT? O.O

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

[Q] Need root only for backup

Hello to all,
can anyone please advise, which file should i install that would suit my firmware best !
Model number:GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BOJV8-CL273008 root DELL154 #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BOJV8
I really appreciate if anyone could help me.
Thanks to all

Try the CF-Root kernel.
Sent from hell to take your soul

Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....

if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuaXu8kusvA
just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup

Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.

Superoneclick I have testet, but without success .
Does kernel JPO really fit my kernel JV8 ??

Same problem here.
After updating a t-mobile branded I9000 to 2.3.3 via KIES (including wipe) my programs and settings are gone.
All data has been saved in TitanBackup. Unfortunatly TB needs root.
SOC didn't work, now I'm looking for alternatives.
Heard, that cf-root can fix my prob, but still got following questions:
will cf-root work on my branded galaxy?
which cf-root version do I need?
Screeningsleeper

Is there no solution available ?

As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.
One thing that is still missing is the correct Odin flashable stock kernel.
Till now there is no kernel for the I9000BOJV8 available at Samfirmware.
I'll keep looking for the kernel.
Hoping to get a quick solution.

Did anyone have new ideas for rooting the T-Mobile Gingerbread?
After long time of searching the web I still found nothing relevant.

Nobody a solution for rooting phone without flashing the ROM for T-Mobile branded PV8 gingerbread?

Same problem here, still waiting .

A week ago I flashed my. T-Mobile with. 2.3
5 JVS and rooted it. Now all is running well.

Yesterday, with the help of this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050, I manage to turn my 6h eating battery brick, into a real rooted phone, thank you guys!

I also upgraded FW from 2.2 to 2.3.3 via kies last week and lost my root - but flashed this to my phone and got root back. link to where to get it:

Odin 1.82: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1IKLKDPB
Just open Odin, put the tar file as PDA, put the phone in download mode, plug it in, wait for the box under ID:COM to go yellow and the 'added!' message and hit start. It will be done in a few seconds. Install superuser and busybox from the market to see if it works.
Like I said earlier it didn't work right away for me, superuser just FC'd on the first boot. Not sure if it was reflashing or rebooting that fixed it. Just a warning that some tinkering might be required.

OK, Problem solved.
Using the Easy rooting toolkit created by DooMLoRD from here.
Works like a charm for my Galaxy I9000 (PDA I9000BOJV8, Phone I9000XXJVO, CSC I9000GDTMJV7) wih german T-Mobile branding.

Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.
I started it but it get's in a loading loop.
I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?
My phone can load the download mode.

I need the data the contacts and the rest of the files because its my business phone and i don't have the acctual backup of the phone
After I've saved my data I will flash the phone to one of the newest versions.
I hope that someone can help me with this problem :S

THANKS A LOT!!
The version *-v1.1* doesn't matter?
what means v1.1, Froyo v1.1?

USB storage in recovery mode not listed
Hello
I flashed the Kernel with CF-Root-JPK-v1.1 but i can not activate the USB storage in recovery mode. It's not listed.
Is this not possible or why is this not listed?
If backup my data in this way is not possible.
How can I backup my data from the Phone when the Phone is in a boot loop? :S

[Q] Update i9000 from Stock 2.3.3 to Latest Gingerbread

Hi friends,
i was an iPhone user since 2007 but now i bought Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, it has "Movistar" logo on its back,
i m completely noob on Android so please guide me.
when i bought my phone it was on 2.0 Eclair then i connected my phone with my laptop with data cable and Samsung Kies.
After connecting:
Samsung KIES showed me Gingerbread Updates
So First KIES updated my phone to 2.2 Froyo
And then it updated it to 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
"""i have read many posts here and as far as i know i think i m on Stock firmware and i updated my phone using Official updates from Samsung KIES and one more thing i want to clear here is before updating my phone my SIM CARD was working perfect no issues and after updating my phone still my SIM CARD is working absolutely fine so i think my phone is fully Unlocked (Please Clarify if i m wrong)"""
So after that long time has been passed i am waiting for Official updates for my phone of Gingerbread 2.3.4 or above but did not find any.
i used 2.3.4 on my friend's phone it works much smoother and faster than 2.3.3 thats why i want to upgrade it unofficially because i cant update it officially.
Can you Please tell me the procedure to update my phone to the latest Gingerbread Stock version unofficially?
Here is what written in "About Phone"
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9000BGJV1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BGJV5-CL307695 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BGJV5

I updated my sgs to 2.3.4 JVR which works great for me, and I used a guide on the website androidsoul.com to go step by step how to do it with odin, and if you search around a little there are plenty if guides here on xda as well
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Which firmware should i go for there are so many
XXJVP = 2.3.4
XXJVR = 2.3.4
XXJVS = 2.3.5
and many more
And what is the difference between firmware with boot loader and firmware without boot loader ?
Sorry for so many questions i m new to Android.

you should go for XXJVS, or for XXJVT, i use a JVT ROM, and its pretty cool.
well, you always have a boot-loader... BUT, you should not flash a boot-loader, because that is one of the rare ways to really "brick" your phone.
the things you need, are odin, the .tar files you want to flash (you should find jvt or jvs here to download, as well as odin)
and just google for flash guide odin, or sth like that, after a few minutes you wil know what to do.
read carefully! and if some points aren't clear for you, don't bother asking.
(The reason why we don't write a full "how-to" is, because it is really done quite often and should not be hard to find)

I have flashed XXJVS Successfully and its working faster and stable than 2.3.3 its amazing. Thank you All for your Support

How to root SGS GT-I9000T (2.1) ?

Model: GT-I9000T
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I9000TUBJG7
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.UBJG5
I am not sure if this has been asked before but I am tired of searching here, YouTube and Google. I want to root this model. I am not sure if the GT-I9000 rooting process will work as mine is a GT-I9000T . I would have been just fine using Samsung Kies to update Gingerbread but Kies just isn't working right and my phone isn't connecting; I swear, that thing is worse than internet explorer!
I would like the safest method to root my phone so that I can update to Jelly Bean. If I link can be provided so that I can get the right update file for my model. I heard that the only difference between the I9000 and the I9000T is that that first supports 900 MHz 3G while the latter supports 850 MHz 3G
Thanks in advance! I am close to the edge and very frustrated!

You can try superoneclick to root your phone. I was on 2.3.3 I9000M and rooted using one click tool. The tool supports many other models. Make sure USB debugging is enabled and all the drivers are installed. Connect your phone and turn on USB, choose auto under Exploit section and click root. Download the tool (Latest Version) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
If rooting process is Successful, superuser will be installed automatically in your phone.

I don't see my model on the list. I don't want to risk bricking my phone if it carries more than a 15% risk of bricking even when I follow the instructions in detail.

Either rooting will be success full or it will just not root. No harm to your phone using one click

[Q] Rooting 2.3.3 JVK

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to root an i9000 2.3.3 XXJVK However Im struggling to find a guide with working download/links
info:
Model - GT-I9000
Firmware - 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVK
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVKCL75655 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
it was recently restored, I'm pretty sure it was 2.3.6 before however it is refusing to update now.
Anyone got a working guide / download links?
I have also seen a few people with IMEI issues should I be backing up the IMEI before somehow?
The aim is to get to 4.X as 2.3 is to laggy and eats battery.
Thanks!!

The best thing to do is to upgrade to either XXJW4 or XXJVU just to be on the safe side using Odin.
In the development section there is a thread to do with CF-Root. These are specific to the firmware you are running on, eg. CF-Root made for XXJW4 can only be flashed on XXJW4.
These come with a custom recovery as well so once you've flashed Cf-Root you can just flash whatever rom you want through recovery.
I'm sorry I can't post links to any of these as it's hard to multitask on an old tablet - searching through the I9000 forums will get you to CF-Root and stuff quickly
IMEI issues only occur because people jump from 2.3.x -> 4.1 and above. To prevent that you have to go from 2.3.x - > 4.0.4 -> whatever rom you want. Tedious, I know, but it prevents IMEI from being lost. If you check your internal storage under a foler called /backup you might find backups of your IMEI as well.

You should just always backup your IMEI before modifying any system component. As soon as you get root access you can do it with terminal command.
