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

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.

super one click is the easiest way of all

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

Hello All,
I've just started looking into rooting my lovely new Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000, and i've stumbled upon a slight problem, being that its an Austrlian phone, (also known as continental) i remember having this problem with my HTC Dream a few years back, and i was only able to root it with continental software or it would brick, which it almost did.
I'm just asking whether anyone knows of a rooting guide, prefferably on XDA that works for 'continental' Galaxy S's, or does the whole thing not matter and i'm just being a big girl by not trying any old root.
BTW. i have looked and havent found anything that says the root will only work for continental Galaxy's. This probbaly means that all firmware works with this phone, better safe than sorry.
Thanks,
Ashley.
Hi Ashley,
I'm in Australia too, and I got my SGS from optus, I rooted it with one click lagfix, it's very safe , you can get it from the market
thx
Easy Root for Galaxy S i9000
Where do you get the "OneClick Lagfix Root" from (which "Market") and is it easy to accomplish. Everthing I have read on here scares me ****less! I cant afford to brick my phone, but it is so damn slow and freezes/crashes regularly. It has been updated to Froyo, but no better! I dont see any improvements to the phone at all!! Is there a fix that a non-technical user can actually use? Most of the language used in these forums is just jargon to most people. Why use Android at all if this the problems you get. If Rooting the phone is supposed to be so easy, why isn't there an app or a software download readily available?
Please Help.
use SuperOneClick v1.7 to root and unroot ur device.. its the safe and easy
search in xda
Hey raycee63, Did you just root the device and update? or did you install a custom rom?
I just finished installing a custom rom on my GF's galaxy and its running alot smoother now. There seem to be alot of issues with the stock firmware.
Once you have rooted the device you can install "Rom Manager" by ClockworkMod in the normal app market (free or paid your choice) and then select
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
The next step is the tricky part sometimes.
You can find a list of custom roms in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886000
Download the one of your choice and place onto your internal SD card.
I would suggest All In One Edition by Developer: Spike_M
I have just used that and its running very well.
Remember this will completely wipe your phone so ensure all contacts are backed up to gmail and you can use a number of apps to backup your SMS's, APNs, and Apps.
I use:
SMS Backup & Restore
APN Backup & Restore
AppAsst
Once backed up Open Clockwork recovery mod and hit Reboot into recovery.
Now I think its best to wipe first before installing the rom.
Using the volume keys to move up and down and the back arrow as enter
select Wipe data /factory reset and wipe cache partition
next select install zip from sdcard. Browse to where u copied the file and select it.
it should say completed.
Then go back and hit reboot system now.
The phone will take a long time to startup as it needs to format the cache i believe.
But once it has it should be like a new android.
Then go on the market and reinstall appasst or find the file in the files app and reinstall it then restore all your apps ect.
If the phone hangs and the boot logo and doesnt start after a long long time. (more than 10 mins) may need to wipe the cache and data again.
U can do this by holding the power button to shutdown and when u start back up enter the "recovery mode" (Hold Volume up + Home + Power) and selecting apply update.zip and you should see the same options as before just wipe and try again.
Still Fails? Try a different rom or redownloading it. you can copy it to your phone by selecting mount in the recovery mode and plugging in the usb cable.
I had no end of trouble figuring it out but I hope this makes sense.
As per normal please dont blame me if you do happen to brick your phone. I have tried this myself and it has worked perfectly.
Good Luck
MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.
Here is the link on rooting the phone

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!
Righty, I rooted my S+ i9001, I just followed the steps at the link here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...253707&page=23) and everything went ok but now every time i sart my phone or try to use an app that needs root I get told superuser stopped working. (one thing with keksliks howto it states press home but should say press menu when u see android out of box)
Lookin at my phone details is still says kernal 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] # 1 any ideas what went wrong, tried updating superuser via market and the fix but both stop unexpectedly. The signed root zip I also downloaded from here via another thread. Now loads of apps are crashing, google frame, even facebook and internet browsing.
I even ran the unroot also posted with the link above but still loads of apps keep crashing and wont work. ANy ideas or is there w working GT i9001 signed zip that gives root and don't kill everything?
I must be doing something wrong as everyone else following the same thread say it works.
Well I rooted again and busybox says my phone is rooted but titanbackup says can't get root, any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA App
i've had the same issue I unrroted with the unroot signed.zip and rooted again with the root signed.zip the averything worked. Try a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache in recovery mode.
it seems like you have updated your phone to another firmware without resetting it.
So try that and backup your settings and contacts before doing that
Easy unroot with supperoneclick
I think you don't need to reset but you van Just unroot with supperoneclick, just search Google for it. You don't need to switch de Phone off, but you need to Connect with the usb cable. Check your setting for USB debuggen (should be switched on) otherwhise it wont work. Then Connect the usb with your pc. And Connect on your Android device. Then open the program and click unroot.
If you have any questions Just ask.
Hope it works!

Hello!
I know that I should have done a lot more research before jumping in but here is what happened. I have also looked everywhere in the captivate forums with no luck. I upgraded to stock Gingerbread from Froyo a while back, yesterday I decided that I wanted to root, which I accomplished with Odin. The rooting went just fine, after that I wanted to flash ICS Slim onto my phone, which I soon realized I needed clockworkmod recovery for. After research found out that it doesn't work using ROM manager so I followed a guide to install it and here is where things went sour, following the guide I installed Hardcore’s SpeedMod Kernel it rebooted and it started normally, passing the AT&T bootscreen but now I am completely stuck on the screen after saying "GALAXY S SGH-l897" and on bottom "SAMSUNG". I am able to access the downloading screen and I just do not want to do anymore damage than I have already.
TL;DR: I'm stuck on boot after installing Hardcore's speedmod kernal, able to get on download screen, don't want to do anymore damage. Long story short, what can I do to repair my phone to a usable state?
Google "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to Samsung Captivate" 3rd link down to see the guide that I used.
Thank you for taking the time to help!
I think hardcore speed mod kernel is for froyo/eclair that's why you're boot looping, but clockwork mod should work. Try using the three button combo to get into recovery and flash whatever captivate ICS ROM you chose, assuming you have the file in your internal SD.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't have any ROM on my internal at all, is there a way to flash a ROM from odin or another software? Or do I have to use the clockworkmod recovery to flash it on?
You can mount USB storage from recovery, so transfer the ROM to your sd card that way

Try reinstalling samsung drivers to get your phone recognized. Since you're on 2.3.5 already, Kies will not let you re-download because it assumes you're on the latest firmware already. Use the Odin one click package. Or heimdall one click.
Don't rush. If you're still unsure keep searching. Read thoroughly so errors won't happen

I've got the same problem with my phone, but I arrived there thru different means.. I used an app called Kernel Manager Light, and believe I tried flashing something called like Fastloader, or Fast boot loader.. something.. anyways, looked good for a minute, while it flashed it, then rebooted my phone & since then, it doesn't load past a screen that reads "GALAXY S" then smaller and below it "SGH-I897".. then across the bottom, "SAMSUNG".. Totally stuck there, for DAYS. I've been reading these forums for what seems like ever, and this is the closest scenario I've found to my own situation.
I can't get my phone into download mode no matter what I do. I can't get into it thru ADB. All I get is that screen.
In ADB, when I type C:/ADB devices, it will sometimes recognize my device (tho more often than not it won't) and even whwn it does, as soon as I try to access my phone thru ADB, it just freezes up too.. I hit enter, and the cursor drops down to the next line, but nothing ever happens from there.
Someone please help..?

I did not know this was gonna be the results, i can actually remember noticable gliches and flaws progressively worse and worse. icons looking like they had a bulb burning out, awful lag in dialer and or any commands. I know now after reading similar posts my attempts to back-up,recover, i did several restore sessions,wiped data & system in a last ditch effort to get my phone back! i was on the road out of my state. not a comforting situation. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP! I'M LEARNING AS I CRAWL ALONG HERE, WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ALOT OF THE LINGO! symbols , abbreviations , etc:crying:
Ur post is confusing...
What firmware are u on -- Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread ??
Did u get ur pics copied off of the phone and to the pc. Under the Settings in ur phone is a USB connection setting to select for when u want to transfer stuff to ur pc.
If ur phone is still jacked up from the multiple backup and restores u did, then u may just have to do a Factory Reset from the Settings menu to get things back to normal...but do understand that that means all ur pics and other stuff will get erased, etc.
If the Factory Reset doesn't work, then I would say get into download mode and flash a Stock firmware (GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 being the latest official) and then proceed forward from there however u want.

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there
i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...

^PreRooted Stock ROM for SGH-T599
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B8oW93h4qD3-X3UxdFl5VlhzZVU&export=downloads
° so to unbrick you're SGH-T599 after downloading the two files above
1§t: put sgh-t599 in download mode(vol.down+home+power).... Plug in and press vol. Up
2ed: Open odin 3.09.. Wait for added to show up (mite have to unplug then re plug the phone)..
Click on AP and find 0B8oW93h4qD3-X3UxdFl5VlhzZVU.tar
........ It should take awhile ......
Then after you're phone boots up... An after you set everything up
.... GET two apps from the play store
° install one of the superuser apps
° then get a root checker as app
^EXTRAS(maybe needed)
°one of BusyBox apps from play store
° SU checker app from the play store
HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS WELL FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS THIS TO ATTEMPT TO UNBRICK YOU'RE DEVICE

So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...
^Odin V3.09
http://odindownload.com/
^PreRooted Stock ROM for SGH-T599
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B8oW93h4qD3-X3UxdFl5VlhzZVU&export=downloads
° so to unbrick you're SGH-T599 after downloading the two files above
1§t: put sgh-t599 in download mode(vol.down+home+power).... Plug in and press vol. Up
2ed: Open odin 3.09.. Wait for added to show up (mite have to unplug then re plug the phone)..
Click on AP and find 0B8oW93h4qD3-X3UxdFl5VlhzZVU.tar
........ It should take awhile ......
Then after you're phone boots up... An after you set everything up
.... GET two apps from the play store
° install one of the superuser apps
° then get a root checker as app
^EXTRAS(maybe needed)
°one of BusyBox apps from play store
° SU checker app from the play store
HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS WELL FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS THIS TO ATTEMPT TO UNBRICK YOU'RE DEVICE
....
PS IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING ELSE GOES WRONG
