[Q] how to root gingerbread 2.3.3 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can i root the gingerbread 2.3.3 on the galaxy S I9000?
My phone was rooted and then I installed gingerbread 2.3.3 and then the root was gone. Anyone know how to root this?
thanks in advance

Depends on which 2.3.3 version is your phone - JVK< JVB< JVH< JVO. You could flash the chainfire's CF-Root 3.2 kernel coz it's pretty clean and simple. Just go in his thread and I think in post No 6 you'll find the latest versions - just download the one for your ROM, unzip it to get the .tar zip and flash it as a PDA through odin - you'll get both root and CWM

I have JVK. I downloaded this gingerbread 2.3.3 :
and then i went to that topic you said and installed 3.2. But maybe I installed the wrong one. Do you know which one i have to instal?
this is my info:
firmware: 2.3.3
baseband: 19000xxjvk
kernel: 2.6.35.7- i9000xwjvh-cl184813 [email protected] #2
buildnumber: gingerbread.xxjvk
I think it was the kernel I last downloaded. So I reinstalled gingerbread 2.3.3 to remove the root.

i9001
firmware: 2.3.3
baseband: I9001BUKE2
kernel: 2.6.35.7- perf

How to root??
Please help nobody knows that...

[Q] froyo xwjpf upgrade help

hi.
i have an sgs i9000:
build: froyo 2.2 XWJPF
baseband: XXJPP
kernel: speedmod-k13e-500hz #36
i've installed speedmod kernel via odin 1.7 to obtain root. I have superuser but somehow I cannot install busybox (even via Market). It's Root Checker that says so: root OK, busybox not OK.
I've installed Rom Manager and when I boot into recovery it goes to CWM recovery 2.5.1. I've already made a nandroid backup.
My question (and for some of the users i've seen in foruns) are:
I want to test some ROMS but i would like first to change to a chainfire kernel, but there is no cf-root with the JPF reference. What kernel should i use?
From the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 I've read that for Froyo firmware has "CF-Root < 2.4 versions" associated.
Does this means that i should get a CF-Root with JPy (y = F or upper) and v2.3 or lower in the zip filename. Is this correct? Following this assumption, can i use CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.zip ?
After that if want to upgrade to a gingerbread ROM or any other available. The kernel used interferes on the ROM planned to use on the upgrade? And after the ROM upgrade the kernel suffers an upgrade too?
The lagfix should be disabled before ROM change and enabled after that, correct?
Sorry for this extensive list of questions, but i think it can help me and other XWXPF build users.
Regards.
Hay dude first go to www.samfirware.com and download a latest gingerbread rom from there and flash that via odin and then dowload the kernel from xda...such as cf root or galaxian or semaphore...the lastest version of rom is jvr...its quite simple

As I read in this post, you have to flash an older stock rom, root it, then flash the new stock rom using mobile-odin with keep root option on.
Text from the post:
"As New ROMs are not direct rootable, you cant root it direct method like Zergrush exploit or CF-Root, If you want such new ROMs Rooted, You shud have currant Older ROM installed, If you are not rooted and flashed Newer ROM, first downgrade to older ROM as above said.then you may update n Root it with one of following two methods."

i want also root my note
Baseband Version : N7000XXLA4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341 [email protected]#2
anyone how and what to use
As jellevanb wisely stated... This thread holds the answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I was on La6, flashed KKA with PC Odin, then used CF-Root for KKA (props to Chainfire for his amazing work) then flashed LA6 on-device using CWM Manager that was installed with CF-Root. Now I have La6 with root
I also was on LA6, flashed AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar with PC Odin then used CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5. It worked for me.

[Q] Downgrading to rootable ROM in order to install custom ROM?

Hi all,
Seems like ICS will be delayed and instead of waiting for it, I've decided to install custom ROM. But before doing so, I would like a few comments from XDA SIFUs...
1.Am currently on:
Baseband ver: N7000DXKL2
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1
Does that means I'm now on LA1 ROM?
2.If so, i understood that it's not directly rootable, thus needed to be downgraded. Referring to Dr Ketan's information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, i would like to downgrade to:
N7000DXKL3 ------ -------2011 December-------- N7000OLBKL2
Will that be...KL3 or KL2?
3.Once downgraded using Odin, will it increase the flash counter?
4.After downgraded, can I just use Zergrush exploit method to root my phone?
5.Which custom ROM is recommended?
Thanks in advance...

1.You hav not mentioned build version, basically that is your ROM
2.You have showned is KL3, but i recommend this to downgrade
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
3. this stock ROM, which won't raise counter
4.yes, n if you downgrade to above said ROM (which i hav recommend), select ' I have kernel KL1' N follow procedure from thread 'How to Root..."
5.Sorry here, I never tried any custom ROM

Hi ketan,
I received my SGN yesterday and right away the phone updated itself to LB2 (India).
I felt the need to root immediately to shift my apps from my older custom romed galaxy ace to SGN.
I read up your guide and rooted through odin (PC) which rooted my kernel down to the KJ1 version. After the customary reboot everything seemed ok - it showed superuser+CWM in app list. Then the pixellated screen began appearing after the screen off. I could only come out of it by removing battery.
On searching these forums i found some posts on pixellated screen caused by certain custom kernels in SGN. I thought that may be the kernel was being incompatiable with my SGN hardware . Then i downloaded the latest stock rom (LC1 - open europe) and tried flashing the new rom using CWM - but surprisingly the CWM prompted for the CSC file only in the firmware folder.It didnt ask for code and modem files. Still i went ahead with the installation and the CWM installed the new rom with apparently no problems - still the kernel is showing KJ1 after this and again the pixxelation problem is still there.
Iam no expert but i think the kernel KJ1 is the problem
(my baseband version is XXLB2)
Present status
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 - ....KJ1 -CL627135
Build number GB.XXLC1
Can i retain my root and upgrade my kernel and get rid of this pixxelation problem ?
Is there an good way to do this ?

If you need a full stock rom you must flash through odin.Flashing through CWM will keep the kernel the same so you have the problem continuing.Flash the rom using PC odin and the problem will be solved

This will erase Root, kernel can be updated later too. He has done exact correct steps, Now he just need to update kernel.

how to root galaxy s GT-I9000 gingerbread 2.3.3 I9000JXJV6 GINGERBREAD.JPJV6

i tried to root the phone with following specification:
Galaxy S GT-I9000
Model No: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband verion: I9000JXJV6
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000JPJV6-CL233266 [email protected] #4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.JPJV6
i used framaroot 1.9.3. result was unsuccessful. it will tell that root was successful but using root checker it says not. then i tried framaroot 1.5.3. i used supersu instead of superuser. this time root checker gives the answer that its successful. but no supersu app installed. i dont know whether this version install supersu app or not. but when i tried to unroot it with 1.5.3 is said success done. but root checker still shows that phone is rooted.
in this case how can i unroot it for safe side.
Then how can i root it using odin.
These are the thing my understanding:
use odin3 v.1.83 Better to install odin3 on windows XP sp2 for samsung galaxy s I9000.
csc firmware: i downloaded GT_I9000_JPJV6_JXJV6_OJPJV6_Sbl.7z
use kernal : Kernel_JPJV6.7z
but which CF-root i have to use for rooting using odin? no idea about this. nobody mentions it.
first i want to know how to unroot which i rooted using framaroot 1.5.3
then i want to know how to root using odin using CF-root?
As far as I remember Framaroot doesn't install SuperSu or any busybox app by defaut - it only provides root access. Usually you have to install a superuser app afterwards. If the root checker app says you're rooted, it's probably right.
Unrooting can be done by flashing any stock rom using Odin over the top. You won't lose your data.
CF-Root kernels are specifically built for different firmwares - therefore if you can't find one specifically for JPJV6 there isn't one. The best thing to do if you do want to root via Odin is to flash a custom kernel or flash a CF-Root supported firmware, such as XXJW4 of XXJVU before flashing CF-Root for whatever build.
Personally I'd go with the latter just to be safe - XXJW4 is a rock-solid firmware anyway.
Im facing another problm now. I tried to unroot using kinga root. After unrooting then i tried to root with kingaroot. It said successful but on reboot it says it says didnt root. Then i tried to root vth framaroot 1.5.3. this time its failed. I cannot root any more.

So which file i have to use for flashing. stock kernal or 152MB file
Are the above two files official firmware from samsung?
Please help me.
My ultimate aim is to install cyanogenmod or mackay ROM.
I understood that we should not flash latest CM from 2.3.3 to 4.4.4 because it will remove IMEI
The 152MB file is the actual rom, so you'll want to be flashing that through Odin. The stock kernel is something else (and comes with the rom so you don't really need to worry about that). Both files are official firmwares as well.

If you can't find one for your specific firmware then you may need to flash a supported firmware.

At last i did it.
let me explain what all I did.
As i told you i installed CWM 2.5.1.2 using rom manager. but it never worked.
so i downloaded CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
I used odin 1.83 to flash. i also downloaded the clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 officially. they recommend this. but i need to root it so i used CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
it rooted properly and CWM 3.0.5 was installed.
I did CWM recovery and all wipeout mentioned. then i flashed the CM10.2. damn. this time it failed again i mentioned. it then restarted automatically and restated to CMW 6 version. then it started again the loop. but here what i did was. I started pressing VOL UP + Home + POWER button. this time i got into CWM 6.. Then again I wiped. This time i flashed CM 11 latest without any issue.
So Its possible to flash from gingerbread 2.3.3 to CM 11.
@jaheshkhan Cyanogenmod normally won't erase your IMEI but Slim ROMs would.
Rom Manager app is useless for the i9000 as the recovery on this device can not be flashed separately, it is part of the kernel image
