Hello
i am trying to root a freinds galaxy s and i am confused
ive never had any problem rooting and flashing roms on htc devices
but i am seeing its a bit different over here ,on htcs we root using adb and
command line and then doing a s off installing rom manager and flashing cwm
recovery from there and then flash any rom we want and everything you
need to know is on the wiki page but i cant find anything on the wiki here.
i really dont know where to start i was reading about cf-root but i cant find
a zip that is for android 2.3.3 NEJVD could anyone please put me on a right direction ?
thanks.

Essentially you need to find a CF ROOT that is JVD, as this will cause no problems. But i don't think there is one... you can use other JV versions ie JVB or JVO or such like but likelyhood is you'll have a few bugs like no BT or camera.

Could always try Superoneclick but i doubt it will work.

hello everyone
can someone please help me out here with this problem im facing, i have searched everywhere i cant find anything on it :/
i have gt i9000 and its running froyo
i need to update it to GB without rooting it. when i connect to KIES it dznt shows the update.
can someone PLEASE help me out here?
thanks a lot
hi.
you don't need to root in order to upgrade, there is a way to upgrade through kies that involve registry editing, but is too messy and personally I haven't been able to make it work not even once! if you want you could try to do that, search in the forum kies registry editing or something like that..
the other way, and plain simple, is flash whatever gb rom you like through odin, go to samfirmware, sammobile (is the same, and you have to create an account) and download the one you like. there is a thread in the forum that also post the download links of the stock roms ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=stock+rom) then flash it and that's it... after you finish flashing, the phone wont be rooted or anything..
there are plenty of tutorials on how to flash a rom through odin, and it really isn't complicated at all...
remember to backup all your info, even tough the info on the internal sdcard wont be erased.
and as always and as everybody in this forum, i'm not responsible for anything!
(if i'm wrong in anything feel free to correct me)
Thanks a lot m8!
Hi All, I've had this Samsung Galaxy Note for a few weeks now and have read over the rooting posts several times. Firstly I am 2.3.6, I realised I cannot directly root this phone and will need to downgrade, I've found the links with info and stock roms... however what I am not sure about is the specific version.
I really don't want to brick the phone!!!
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35-7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
[email protected]#2
I did find an LA6 rom but could not find one with the same modem version. Also going back to the old directly rootable roms, there is a huge choice, none of which match what I have so far... so really just wanting to know to work out which one to pick while keeping root and getting to version I have now??
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Is there a specific reason for keeping the reason you have?
The reason am asking is because you can use the pre rooted ROMs in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
And you will end up with a newer ROM and root..
Modem is not an issue, you can flash the type you want and suits you best after accomplishing root..
No I guess not... just all is working well as it is but was just concerned about general compatibility but will give the europe one a go. Thanks
Aztec_Uk,
Did you manage to root your Note ?
I'm on the same build as you and would like to get rid of all my bloat ?

Hi, have to say I haven't worked up the courage to do it yet... I wish I could root and do a backup before playing... but the only way is to either downgrade as in other post or use these pre-rooted roms... this debating what to do... I really don't want to brick it or goto something I cannot roll back, as it works great at the moment but obviously bloatey and no root.....
Take courage!
@Aztec_UK and DblCng, just over a week ago I was where you are. Take heart, if you encounter problems and post them here clearly, there are some really expert and generous XDA members here who will help you. I will even try myself if I see you encountering something I ran into.
I opted for the Chainfire method and in this thread. starting at post #1170 you can read an almost blow-by-blow account of what I encountered and the help I got. Thanks list in post #1220. I didn't expect it to be all plain sailing and it wasn't. I do advise you to make sure you have enough time before you start - in the end it took me most of 3 days (and nights). Another tip I haven't found anywhere (though it's almost certainly here somewhere) is to forward your calls to somewhere else before you start. You don't want people ringing you on the phone when you're in the middle of rooting it.
My Note is now rooted and running just fine, and I'm having a great time zapping bloatware and foiling phone-homers.

Hi syncopath, thanks for replying... seems like a very friendly and helpful place.
I have a work colleague who was also like you and like I am now... then to get proxy support he rooted.... Then he took a while to eventually take the plunge and go for ICS 4.04... It was this week he came into my office and said... I've done it... sat there for 10 mins crossing fingers.
He had a slightly older stock rom on his note, it meant he could do a direct root without flashing and he also was able to do a good backup via root method...
I think the thing holding me back is that fact I can't make that solid back... I have to flash first... believe me I have hacked about with lots of phones and firmwares in my time, HTCs, Blackberrys, Nokia and done a jailbreak on an iPhone 4S... somehow this time around it's taking me longer to work the courage up, I've read a few posts on here.. of people ending up with a brick and no warranty... I just dread this situation... or if something should go wrong later I'd want to un-root so I had warranty... Any advice what any of you guys would do in my situation.. believe me I want root and to try ICS... I am twitchy! - just a bloated stock rom with no root is better than a brick/paper weight!!

I have the same model with LA4 modem and LA6 kernel. Use the XEU file from the pre rooted thread here as posted above, works perfect. The modem in that file is indeed an LA4, but like matius44 says you can flash any modem. For no wipe only flash the PDA file with PC Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
After that you can download mobile odin pro from the market and flash the ICS repack leak. Make sure to select the 3 root options in mobile odin before going to the repack or you will lose your root. The LA4 modem seems fine in ICS, but i did try the newest modem as well.
I followed the instructions for a clean install in the ICStunner thread. Make sure to read down to post #4.Stick with 1.4.19 if you choose stunner. Awsome smooth stable rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552554
It's safe to flash back to that GB pre rooted rom from ICStunner as well.
Go for it, my phone has never been better and ICStunner is amazing.

Hi Kushracer
Your post was well put out and friend, will tick thanks button in a minute... ok, I followed step one.. put into download mode, already downlodeaded the rom you suggested before a few days ago... and PC Odin too... So, I did as you suggested and flashed just the PDA part... crossed fingers, it rebooted and I can confirm thanks to you I am rooted!!!
Before I go for next step I am going to ensure I do backup everything as much as possible and will be trying ICS tomorrow!!!
Your right I feel so much better... that was not that bad... and just the PDA section is replaced the same with Rooted!... Your advice did help me get the confidence to hit the button... Well pleased
Will keep you posted tomorrow on my next step... for me this is enough for the minute, got more time tomorrow so will have a long backup/ICS session then
Thanks
Aztec_UK... now with rooted Note!
Well this time yesterday I had a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note.... Now... not only do I have full Root, I now have CWM, ICS 4.04 and LP6 kernel... phew!! thanks to all for your help
Cool
Sweeeet! Hope you enjoy it as much as me. Just waiting on the official release so I can run a modded version of that now
On another note--- Backup your EFS partition! The stunner thread had the info so I hope you did that just in case.

Yes it's much better nice and fast I have to say. I did also backup EFS and followed the post step by step. I used the CWM and abyss method in the end.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thanks

Ok first of all I did follow the part of bodivas reply to me (thanks again!) I used one of the Stock Odex Pre Rooted ROMs..
found here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
I chose:- 3*Files No-Wipe N7000XXLA6_N7000OXEULA1_XEU Europe (03/02/2012)
downloaded and flashed via PC Odin... Crossed fingers and it worked, I had FULL root!
Then I Followed part of the second link as:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552554 I followed the part about backing up my EFS (highly recommended!!) - that was as far as I went that night..
The following day I spoke to a work collegue... and went a different root to flash ICS.. I downloaded ICS Stunner 1.4.19 then used this method:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614443 You must follow it step by step and I had to do a CF-Root to get CWM and then after that flashed Abyss to get RedPill... from there I flashed ICS and LP6 rooted kernel..
However I have noticed I do have root but I cannot write or mouse system for write access... so I have not got full root... I have re-read what to do about this and may need to reflash a different rom, however I already tested re-flashing first link with PC Odin which gives me GB Full root after ICS, so I am gonna play for a bit and retry this later... but you do have a quite safe roll back..
I was scared as hell to do any of this and a few days ago had a stock Samsung and did not want to root or reflash... I think as long as you follow instructions, check other users posts on how they get on, make sure your battery is charged, use a UPS or laptop with good battery (incase of power cut) then you should be ok, but you do take a risk of ending up with a brick, my biggest fear... so far trying to get full root I've re-done this 3 times!
Happy I did and think it's worth it as this rom is nice, thinking of trying 1.4.26 soon...
Hope this helps and good luck...
Same procedure... with ICS 1.26.1 .... now full root! - But nice safe way of trying ICS...... Looks like I gottta get the hang of Mobile Odin....
2 days ago I was scared but now I have the confidence to flash the rom on SGN
thanks for your info, i was very flash happy when on desire z i have flashed almost all the roms. but galaxy note seems slight different, but glad to see at least you get root work, i might just root and remove bloatware first and see how smooth it is, will think about flashing rom later might even just wait for ota ics
Aztec that was good of you but as long as u know how i feel that i have galaxy note and i cant do anything no root no ics can u help me about it by controlin my pc or tellin me what to do i need to root it so bad and i have kernal that doesn't let me root so i have to downgrade thats all the info that i have so if u have anytime free to help me i would be really thankfull because am sure u know how i feel or anyhelp on msn or skype chat that would be great

Okay, so ive been stupid.
I had MIUI installed, 2.4.20, and wanted to get rid of the triangle at boot. I followeda guide ( jayceooi. com/2011/08/10/how-to-remove-yellow-triangle-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-without-usb-jig-video/ ) that suggested a kernel fiddling, and i checked which one i had etc. I had DXLP7.
Anyhow, it wont stop booting up, i guess it gets in a loop. I can still access stock recovery and download mode. I've tried a few more kernels that i figured it must be, but with no luck. Atm i just wanna recover my phone.
Please help.

Oh, missread the forum name, really sorry. Any mod, feel free to move the topic.
However, im really unsure of what rom to use, all the letters got me really confused. Now i've come to a 'i dont have anything to loose'-feeling, so im trying regardless of understanding the letters or not.
Edit: seems it worked.

Don't worry,if u are on ics then flash a ics stock rom ,if on ginger then flash ginger if u are in a boot loop.
Search samfirmware.com for LP7 rom.u need register to dl. And password is samfirmware.com to extract the file.if u don't know how to flash with odin.search for insanity rom in i-9000 forum.look for ezbase rom .there is one of the best toturials for using Odin.but DON'T use this rom,it's a i9000(sgs) rom,u need a l9100 rom.
@lntratech also have stock rom for l9100(gs2).those are flashable with Odin .but is flashed in PDA only.
Hope this helps
im having so many issues on whether or not to root my Gnote for cyangoenmod. now from what i can tell on a video on rootgalaxynote.com i can root from my phone simply by downloading 2 files and running them from the reboot screen, i get this far. but i dont understand what clockworkmod is or why he uses it to"flash roms and kernals".
i cant understand why he uses this or exactly what it is i also dont get why he downloads franco kernel if he doesnt need it. what does that do? i have read sooooo many threads and posts on this but just cant understand it past here. why do i have to be on gingerbread? im on 4.0.4 xxlrk. cant i just root and flash? do i have to flasy CM7 to slowly upgrade to 10? and how do i even do that? Feel like such a noob, because i am just wanna make the most of my note any help.... INCREDIBLY appreciated.

i started rooting based on that video about 3 months ago, and now i am an addicted ROM flasher!
first and foremost, follow zedomax instruction on how to root without computer
ClockWorkMode (CWM) is necessary to be installed in order for you to install/flash ROMs and Kernels. Without CWM, you wont be able to install custom ROMs and Kernels directly from phone. you will be needing Computer.. which i would like to avoid as much as possible.
as for what is ROMs and Kernels.. the answer is here somewhere in XDA.
as for franco, it was advisable to install the kernel, as it helps on battery life and performance. i think there are latest version of franco Kernel anyways... you can search this forum as well...
if you follow the steps shown in the video, you don't have to be on GingerBread (GB).
and since you are already in ICS, then you can go directly to CM9, then proceed to CM10...
happy flashing!:fingers-crossed:
