[Q] Q: How to root my new SGS 2.2

Hi everyone I have seached the forum and found some threats on this subject, but nothing that helped me.
PDA: I9000XWJPF
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000TDCJP3
And my revovery is e3
I have tried One Click Root from XDA and z4root.
The One Click Root gives me the Verification error and the z4root just stalls..
Please help me. I want to apply lagfix and custom roms.

you didn't read enough. There is TONS of info on how to root the Galaxy S.
First of all i suggest you change upgrade to a more recent ROM, such as JPY. Go to the General Section and a thread for JPY will be there, you can get Odin in that thread too or from the link in my sig. To root, all you need is Odin v1.7 and CF-Root, the thread is here: [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
You can't have 3e Recovery, CF-root will give you 2e.
OR you could simply flash a custom ROM and you'll have root pre-installed.

I saw that thread but i dont know witch file to download whit my fw specifications

It doesn't matter what firmware you have before, the only thing that does matter is the CSC, which contains countries' specific provider APN's etc, but it'll have the EU CSC so you should be fine. Get Odin v1.7 and flash JPY over, and then you can flash CF-Root or a Kernel like Hardcore's, to get Clockworkmod as well, in order to flash a custom ROM.

So as it is now i just use odin and flash lets say DocRom XXJPX ?

Would be better to flash stock JPY, use CF-Root and then flash Doc/Darky ROM.

Can you point me a link for such fw? The one that fit my current fw.

Guy don't flash the JPY if you want to use GPS. After I flashed it on my German Galaxy S. It takes hours to fix the GPS and then you just get an accuracy (do I write it right?) of around 100 meters. Better use the JPX with JPA WiFi drivers.

Link? And am i still going to flash all files?

Lets see if we can complicate this further for this poor guy.
An easier approach if you don't want to touch your firmware is to flash a modified kernel. For example SpeedMod will give you root as well as other goodies (2e recovery, clockwork recovery, etc).

Download and flash it using ODIN (put the file into the PDA box).

This was what i was lookning for and after i have done this i can use costom roms with clockwork?

After I upgraded my Froyo 2.2 from JPA to FROYO.DXJPE I9000DXJPB I couldnt root using z4root at all. What can I do? The upgrade fixed my GPS problems tho. But my SGS Lags now. Help please. It also says my Recovery is 3e.

Want to jump in too...
I'm also interested in Darky's but did a fine job bricking my phone recently when I tried to flash to another firmware. So I need something like an idiot's/tech bimbo's guide...
My phone is the I-9000 international, running on official froyo 2.2, not rooted. Can someone kindly spell out the steps of exactly what I need to do? I came across many sites with incomplete information or even conflicting sequences when using Odin, so I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone again. TIA.

Found in post #3, here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

could you give me a complete guide for my galaxy s electrotune like i said i tried once before using odin and i had no network signal upon completion

It's all in the link I posted. First post.
Read the Instructions(Long)

is this a good method and would i be guaranteed to get signal when i am finished..
ps is it worth rooting my galaxy s and can you recommend any good custom roms if i do

There are benefits to rooting.
If you follow those directions, you will have a fully functional phone.
As far as custom roms, i have used Doc's rom kitchen. That's about it. I can recommend that to you.

do i need an unlocked phone for rooting to work

some say yes some say no.
mine came unlocked so i didnt need to worry about that. anyway try this before you root:

Rooting XWJVZ 2.3.6

I'm trying to find a way to root my phone. So far, I have only tried a SuperOneClick and it doesn't work. Then, I found a CF-Root thread, but I'm not sure which file I should choose. Is 'CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip' correct? Which version of Odin should I use? That CF-Root comes with a CWM built in. My goal is to flash a CM9 on my phone. Will there also be a CMW Recovery, so I don't have to install it manually through ROM Manager? Are there any other options for me besides CF-Root?

Go to the link below and follow the instructions in the OP carefully.

But how do I know which version I should pick? My phone gives me two different versions of my firmware. First is I9000XXJVT and another is GINGERBREAD.XWJVZ. So should I get XXJVT or XWJVZ?
Edit: Never mind. This thread is a mess, I just found a guide.

guyz get JW4 from samfirmware.com... good modem with awesome battery life and connectivity..
then apply cf root.. easily available on xda
if my post helped, dont mind hitting THANKS

Hi !
I can recommend XXJW6 withCF root of JW4 and if u wish then Semaphore kernel 2.7.4 . I find it better then XXJW4. I useOptus ( Australian ) though I am in Thailand. U can also opt to use a different launcher if TW4 lags.
Thanks !

This should be a good starting point....
I can't post the link but Google "root xxjvq" and click on the first link. You might need to upgrade to 2.3.4 first, in which case you can click the link on that page for that tutorial.
Follow each step and by the end you should have recovery installed. Once you have recovery, everything else is a walk in the park. All you need from then on is to download a custom ROM (I highly recommend you go for SlimBean) put it on your phone's sd card and flash it through recovery WHILE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS from the SlimRoms website. Google "slimroms."
Happy rooting!

Ill get back to you after i try it out...
Thanks
