Unlock/Root new version of Froyo 2.2

Hello all,
I just received a Galaxy S for Christmas
Of course it's locked on Vodafone Romania
I readed alot of topics about rooting/unlocking, but it doesen't seems to work on new Froyo versions.
I would try the unlock market way, but i cannot find a good rooting for my phone.
These are the infos:
GT-i9000
Firmware 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJP
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #1)
Build number: FROYO.XFJP7
Is there any way to unlock it?
Thank you in advance

z4root or SuperOneClick should be able to root it for you.

Are you actually saying it worked for you with bell vibrant on UGJL2 with 2.6.32.9 kernel?

SuperOneClick works on most phones and most versions... z4root doesn't work on new firmwares.

UGJL2 Z24 will not work , SuperOneClick works though.

z4root worked on my froyo

I got mine to work. Issue was with bloody win 7. Tried.it on XP and got rooted on the first try.

[Q] Please help, I seem to be stuck with old firmware

Hi,
I am trying to persuade Kies to upgrade my firmware as I'm still on 2.2.1, and I have the reg hacker tool. However, whatever settings I try to change to, Kies still doesn't update.
I'm an orange uk user, but in the past have pfaffed around with reg settings to get the latest I can, this has resulted in the following registry settings:
Product code: GT-I9000HKDKOR
SoftwareRevision: I9000XXJPY/I9000OXAJPY/I9000XXJPY/I9000XXJPY
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJPY/I9000OXAJPY/I9000XXJPY/I9000XXJPY
Can anyone help as to what settings I can change to to force an update?
Many thanks

That method aint working right now. You have to use the method on the phone.

It's the only way to spoof as of now.
And rooting ain't that hard, you just need to read the method carefully. It's usually just flashing the PDA (can be done under 5 minutes)

@rjphillips1
All you need to do is to change your product code from kor to xeu, then kies will happily upgrade you. To change product code enter*#272#imei number#. This will also factory reset and wipe your phone so back up first.
Best of luck

Thank you; one thing I found is that it needs a * rather than # between 272 and imei, but that did update my phone to XEU at least.
My kies, 1.53 or something wasn't updating still, but when I downloaded v2, it all worked, many thanks.

I am stuck with old firmware too
Hello, i have the following galaxy S device:
GTI9000HKYKOR
The details in "Settings > About Phone" gives me this
•Model Number : GT-19000
•Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
•Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
•Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
•Build Number: ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
and the *#1234# gives me this:
•PDA: I9000XXJM1
•PHONE: I9000XXJPK
•CSC: I9000OXAJM1
I am trying to update via kies (Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3) but no update button is displaying, only the message "This version of the device can not be updated".
I would to ask if anyone knows release date for froyo update OR what is suitable rom for updating to 2.2 or 2.3 with ODIN.

[Q] How do I unlock my Galaxy Tab?

Hi all,
Well I was able to install a stock UK Gingerbread ROM, but now that I have the phone function enabled, I need to unlock my TAB and would like instructions. Here are the specs that I have:
Model number: GT-P1000 (Originally Bell)
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
[email protected]2 #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
I also noted that my SGT is not rooted. Am I able to root it? I tried with z4root, but it seems it doesn't work with Gingerbread.
In the end I would love to install Overcome.
Thanks for your help.
Bruno

To root it you need odin and c4 root
To install overcome Jupiter(for gingerbread). Try this site:

c4root doesn't seem to work on gingerbread 2.3.3...
Any way to unlock it?
Thanks.

you need to be rooted
i think you need to back to stock froyo and then root it , use Unlock Galaxy S from the market and this free app will do the trick for you , and then flash stock gingerbread
and then you can flash anything u want ............
use superoneclick for rooting froyo stock

None of those things already posted will root gingerbread. On top of your stock rom (is it UK or Spain?), flash the CF-Root v3.3 kernel. The file goes in the PDA line of Odin (I hope you can use that program, because it can't be done through keis).

UK ROM...Thanks.

****************

Amazing!! Thanks ranger captain! Used CF-Root v3.3 to root SGT UK ROM using Odin3 v1.7 on Win 7 64, then unlocked with SGS Unlock Pro (5$ on Android Market).
Now rooted and unlocked using Rogers Sim (initially a Bell Tab).
Sweet!!

You are welcome. Glad you got it done. You will never have to unlock it again, but you might have toroot it again when you upgrade the rom, so remember what you did.

[Q] help to root galaxy s i9000

hi folks ive not done a samsung phone for a while and looks harder than ever to root so if some body would be kind enough to point in the right direction on how to root my phone. details below
Model number
GT-I9000
Firmware verion
2.3.3
baseband version
I900XXJVO
KERNAL VERSION
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937
[email protected] #2
build number
GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
would also like to put an up to date stable and reliable rom on it as i had an xperia and i had all sorts of problems with bugs and crash issues.
Treat me as a noob as its been some time and im back to the android world after owning a nightmare iphone that i jailbroke so know my way round phones

I'm a rookie myself, so here is what I read and it helped me with my first steps. I did follow those steps and went for Cyanogen ROM at start.
Take a look at "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" section. After you installed CWM, everything else is piece of cake.

Download cf-root for your phone. Cf-root is in development section. You will need the cf-root with jvo in the name. I. E. Last three characters of your build number?
Also download odin from sammobile.com. You need to register but it's free.
Once you have root and if you want cm then that will is good.

Send it back to three, this happend to me a few months ago and now ive just rooted my phone and thats about it... Im gonna wait till theres more stable developement.

@OP : You can Google for your stock rom. Shouldn't be hard. If you are planning to flash gapps , choose gapps for gingerbread.

I ended up using 5830i XXLA2 PDA XXLK1 MODEM and BTULK1 CSC Works fine with these!
I am hoping to secure an S2 from a friend when he upgrades next month so I am looking forward to AKOP or CM10 or some hybrid of them like P.A.C who knows but I have more experience in Android now and I can have some funky fun with the 5839i now xD Lost count how many times I have bricked it due to experiments while I learn!
Even managed to Format the EMMC to Ext4 and install a rom I cooken in dsixda kitchen and use latest kernel from our friend in Rio using the CWM version of the kernel. Next on my list is making a kernel.
I learn by breaking stuff and its fun normally fixing it.
No matter how messed up it can get I can always restore the stock fw from samfirmware or the custom frankenstien split pack I 'assembled' *cough*
