[Q] Help in unrooting!

I just bought a SGS recently and these are the Settings
BASEBAND VERSION : I9000XXJPK
KERNEL VERSION : 2.6.32.9 root SE-S608 #1
BUILD NUMBER : FROYO.BOJP7
I am a total noob when it comes to rooting! This is the first smartphone ive bought!
Can you please tell me how to unroot this and install a faster version, because my phone lags a lot!
I would appreciate it if you could please explain it in steps as i have no clue what im doing!

Hello,
If you didn't install a lagfix, you do not need to unroot before flashing a new firmware.
I suggest you to make your own rom with romkitchen based on JS5 and hardcore's speedmod kernel.
You will need to flash hardcore's kernel first with odin (only the kernel) to get recovery 2e and CWM.

Not sure if your phone is actually rooted but anyway even if it is it shouldn't matter, unless you have a lagfix applied. If so undo lagfix and then flash to another firmware.
There a a few ways to installing new firware. One is through kies and using kies registry patcher. This allows you to fake your region allowing you to flash to firmware updates that may not be available to you. Good choice is to update to a euro 2.2.1
I prefer to flash manually using Odin to a firmware of my choice. Just go to samfirmware.com snd once in the galaxy s firmware section you willfind all the files you need. Just be sure to read the instructions on the page as well.
Flashing the phone with custom firmware is another. For that you use clockworkmod recovery which you can install with rom manager from the market (need to be rooted first and have 2e recovery) or by flashing a kernal like speedmod using odin.

That kernel is the default one. The root bit often throws.people off. As the previous post said look for the app super user or better still download an app that requires root access like titanium.backup and try using it. If u can't use it then you have not been rooted

I think you mean ROOTING your SGS, not unrooting?
Anyway read that before starting any tweak : -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810686

Your phone is not rooted. Search this forum for Darky's resurection edition and read, think, then read again. And don't forget to read.
Further more, check your 3-button combo's and make sure to have your /EFS backed up.

GT-P1000T

Hi all..
I just recently bought an unlocked Telstra galaxy tab..
Well..yes i am a noob..
That's why i'm asking..!!
What is this supposed to means?
PDA : P1000TDVJJ3
PHONE : P1000TDVJJ3
CSC : P1000TDVTTELJJ4
What is the connecrion of those above with the ROM's or Kernel? (i see alot of post that mentioned jj*,xx, etc..
Hope someone would be realy kind to help..
Thx in advance

Hello,
Since we are in australia and using P1000T, that is the firmware. Your firmware is JJ3.
Now, from here you can:
Stay stock (leave it at that)
Get custom Rom (overcome, etc)
If you want custom rom, look in the galaxy tab android development and follow the instructions to the letter to avoid bricking your tab.
It is normally advisable to flash your rom to roto's rom first before you get a custom rom. Roto's rom: roto jmi or roto jme, just search the development section.

I flashed 2 P1000t's straight to gingerbread with no problems... The bootloader doesn't need to be patched. Follow the instructions in the overcome thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596770&d=1305467639 or these instructions & Links on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13781955
Just remember, You don't need to flash the modem.bin part, just untick phone in ODIN. This allows you to keep the original Telstra radio...
Cheers, and happy flashing...

Ok bloke so two questions if you can please help. What is the best way to backup the existing stock to restore back to in case i screw it. Also when you say you went straight to gingerbread, which gingerbread rom did you use that was successful.
Did you use/have you heard of the Euro Italian one that is floating around the traps?

OK, here's stock Telstra firmware and radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971870
Read about this on Sarsippius thread... Big thankyou, Sarsippius, for this...
You MUST have AT LEAST 50% battery or you may end up with a brick. The tab doesn't charge during the flashing process so if you have low battery it will be sucked dryt pretty quick. Flashing seems to use a bit of power...
Next, I flashed this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 , thankyou Chainfire...
You need to follow the steps EXACTLY (if you want pictures go to the overcome thread and get his flashing manual, though there a re a few files named different and he doesn't need to flash the dbdata.tar file after the 1st flash...I also flashed the CF-Root V3.2 afterwards using ODIN....
Flashed 3 times using ODIN. Now have stock gingerbread and CWM on tab...
You can use the modem.bin file from the stock rom to keep the Telstra modem...
Takes about 10 - 15 minutes , go slow, read each step and DON'T skip ahead or you will come a cropper...
Remember, you can ALWAYS flash back to stock through ODIN as long as it recognises your tab....
I then flashed the Overcome rom V2.0.0 RC1 using CWM...
Happy Flashing....

ok..
i just manage to root GT-P1000T with chainfire thingy..(can't remember the name)
i fire up root explorer..and also installed bootloader patch - as per suggestion i found in xda (it says that mine are safe)
does it realy means that i realy could flash my dev with any firmware??

You have the same Tab as I do, yes you can flash any gsm or european rom... DON'T flash the cdma roms as they are different from my understanding, could be wrong...
Look at my post above if you want to flash to gingerbread... I know that works...
Cheers...

Really appreciatr your assistance in teaching me how to root my phone. Please spread this post so that I could get better answers and feedbacks thank you.

I had a lot of problems at first too.
The first step you need to do root it with super one click root.
Do a search in the forums. There are several tutorials that explain how to use it. It's really simple.
Using that programs getting the phone to root was easy. The problem I had was the flashing part and getting Odin to work for the first time to install clock work recovery.

Do you mind providing a link? I really need to know the step-by-step procedure and see the reliabilty.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

1) download the latest 2.3.6 JW4 firmware (for GT-I9000) from sammobile.com. Also download ODIN and flashing guide.
2) For CF-root , following the instruction on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108.
If you don't want to upgrade to 2.36 then just follow link in the second step . That should have the instructions and the download link for your GB rom. Ensure that you pick the right tar file corresponding to your firmware version.

I am sorry but i am a little dumb and slow -.- I not quite get thr threadnposted by Chainfire, in which the link you provided. I am using a gingerbread 2.3.3 . So what am I supposed to do? Cos they say smth like CF-root Gingerbread (2.4 XXjvk or newer) . What does this actually means? And after that i couldn't get the whole chunk.

[Q] Advice to unlock/Root GT-i9000 please

Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Firmware Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:

plenty of unlock apps in the market
http://bit.ly/K0HktJ
then follow this tutorial to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966

Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices

no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.

updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!

[Q]

Hi All
I am from Bangladesh and looking for some HELP!!!
I have just bought one Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 from one of my friend. He used it for last one year. It was pretty much ok with all the settings. I am always little bit curious about new machines and when I got it I thought it was not updated with all the setting. Like a stupid I have tried to root it with CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.TAR and it showed “FAIL” and went dead. After that I downloaded another file dbdata.rfs.tar and made it active again. But unfortunately everything erased down from my tab.
After that I got someone from UK who helped to setup The Overcome Experience in my Tab. Everything is fine except my IMEI what is shown fake as 004999010640000
Model # GT-P1000
Firmware Version # 2.3.6
Baseband Version - P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version # 2.6.35.7, Overcome-v4.0.0 # 40
Build Number # Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0
I don't know what else to try. I have searched the forums here and it seems that the answer is not there or I am not in the right page.
I would appreciate any help or other ideas!!!!
Regards
Noor

The answer is there.
Usually is by flashing stock ROM.
You may want to try overcome's GB stock safe v5.
The link is in my signature.
After flashing stock, check your IMEI. hopefully it is restored.

Hi Priyana,
Thank you so much for your quick response! The same I have followed to install my Overcome Experience (as per XDA policy couldn't paste the link here)
If you insist I can again reinstall it from your given link or if you adv to install any other operating system like gingerbread or jelly bean or any other OS. Actually frankly speaking I am very new on this. Thanks again and waiting fro your suggestion.
Regards
Noor

I don't insist.
But so far the only way to recover IMEI is either by having a backup of your efs,
Or by restocking.
Some people here couldn't get back their IMEI even after restock.
Not sure why.
But it is up to you to try or to leave it.
Upgrading to higher os won't help.

Thanks Priyana! Actually my EFS folder is empty. Is the Overcome Experience is the latest OS?

well, overcome 4.1 (the ROM) is a modified samsung stock 2.3.6
So in a sense, yes, it is the latest that is close to the official released but better in performance.
Samsung didn't update the OS for P1000 anymore, so if you want ICS or JB, it will have to come from CM/AOKP/Paranoid etc
