Hi,
I have recently updated my galaxy s to Gingerbread (PDA: i9000DDJV6 / Phone: DDJV4 / CSC: DDJV6). It has 3e recovery
I want to root my phone now to carry out some customizations, install 2e recovery and maybe install a custom firmware later.
I have been going through the forums but I have a some queries which I couldn't find the answers to.
1. If I install a rooted kernel /firmware and something goes wrong, will installing the DDJV6 ROM from Samfirmware bring it back to the stock factory default config exactly as from Samsung ?
2. Does superoneclick root by changing some settings in the stock kernel or does it just automate installation of a rooted kernel ?
3. Is it okay to install fw versions of other countries if I don't find a DDJV6 (Indian) firmware ? Will it mess up the country specific settings ?
Thanks a lot for your answers
No answers? strange!!

From rooted speedmod to unrooted non-custom kernel
Hi I have the international galaxy s.
I9000DTJP3
kernel version: hardcore speedmod k13c 500hz #24
build number: FROYO DTJP5
Firstly, I have rooted using Super One Click
And I changed my kernel after reading instructions from this forum.
I now want to undo what I've done and go back to the original phone
(and later maybe update to gingerbread)
I've spent a lot of time reading through this xda forum and finally I make my own thread and ask directly.. Sorry if this has been asked already but I searched almost everywhere.. Maybe its my lack of professional vocab.
1. I'm guessing to unroot, I just click 'Unroot' on Super One Click but will this affect my speedmod?
2. I have the 3 Button Method installed but I don't know how to safely test if it works. Just do the 3 button combo and if it works, go back by simply taking off the batteries?
3. So if that worked all well.. I would have an unrooted speedmod phone. How do I remove this speedmod? Stock roms? I don't know what they mean.. is it the default firmware? do I have to flash it in? If I install that would that automatically replace my speedmod?
Thank you.. I would really really appreciate your help thank you..
haha! I`ve got similar question,
I`ve root my SGS using the One Click, did the 3 button fix, and to my surprise manage to flash the speedmod k13e 500.. currently this is my build *#1234#
I9000DXJPE
I9000DXJPB
I9000OLBJPA
a few days ago, i read doc`s kitchen rom and download the cooked rom with this configuration
*NEW* ZSJPK v11.1 WIPE
CSC : XME
Speed mode kernel
DXJPB Modem
2.2.1 jpj browser etc with tweaks, custom bootanimation and mod sound
so my question can I just use the recovery update.zip to install the rom?
p/s I`ve no idea what I`m doing but it look fun to mess around the phone so I`m a beginner that knows nothing but I could read if that matters
I dont know if it will effect the speedmod but if you just flash the stock rom I think it will replace it.. just imagine if you are going to change from one kernel to another or update to a newer version what will you do? just flash it and badaboom the new one will replace the old one.. so it is a similar process..
Just one question.. if you have the EXT4 lagfix you have to undo/disable that first am I right?
To get back to original ROM, get your version from http://samfirmware.com.
If you used any lagfixes disable them before flashing (because the stock-kernel does not support ext4-partitions).
Flash the firmware (PDA, MODEM, CSC) with odin (repartition not ticked).
To verify the 3-button-combo works just power of your phone and then press "Home+Volume-down+Power", then it should enter download mode.
Hiya all, first post
Here's an old one...i want to root my galaxy note ...
My model is gt-n7000 running android 2.3.6
Baseband n7000xxla4
Kernel LA6
Build gingerbread.xxla6
Even though many of you more technically advanced may find it very easy i have trawled the net & YouTube & just do not know what way to safely go about it!
It's so simple to download a set of files & it does look easy to do but there are a few different ways,
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks in advance

For firmware KL7 or later you can't root directly. So you need to flash as stock, but pre-rooted ROM using PC Odin for example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352945&referrerid=4386116
After this, flash a Kernel that has CWM 5 and is compatibel to CF Root Kernel (with Mobil ODIN - see market) like this one:

Hi
First of all, I come from the Archos world so Samsung is a bit strange for me.
I live in Morocco and I run an old firmware. It is rooted with zergrush and has got CWM and mobile odin. My GN is now on KK2/KK5/KK2 and it aqked me to do an update : LA1/LA4/LA1. I tried through FOTA but it failed in recovery (well at boot). My first questions are about this firmware : should I do it by kies or will it be the same? Does the update deletes root? (then could anyone tell me where to get the firmware to flash in ODIN) Does the update wipes data partition or resets Android (as in deletes settings accounts apps)?
Then I would like to get the ICS update as soon as it gets out. Does it require the update above? I tried to get info about it on Sammobile.com but I can't manage to find my product code in any of the firmwares (MAT - Rare?) but I see that there is another update for Morocco (product code FWD). Then same questipns as above : can I flash it through Odin directly?
Sorry for my bas English and for the noob questions as I'm not used to the large number of versions firmwares.

The reason the update fails is probably because you're rooted and have CWM installed.
When you update through Odin you will lose root. The easiest way to update to an official rom is by flashing a pre-rooted firmware with Odin from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
You can pick any rom you'd like. You can find the LA4 update there but you can also flash LC1 which is a newer version.
After you have succesfully flashed with Odin you have a rooted firmware but no CWM yet. To get CWM you need to download a separate package from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
Scroll down a bit to section "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" and download the appropriate package. If you chose to flash LA4 then get the package for LA4, if you flashed LC1 then get the package for LC1 etc.
Extract the package you downloaded and execute "already-rooted.bat" and CWM will be flashed.
After that you have an updated and rooted firmware with CWM recovery.
Thanks for your reply. So basically I just need to get back to a stock rooted and then reinstall CWM?
But then I will still have the issue when updating to ICS right?
Ps : I see the LC1 version but it says France. Will I be able to flash it? (then maybe also the ICS after because the France and Moroccan have the same version LPY or sonething)

Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M (Bell) using Root Unlock. Have superuser and ROM Manager installed (recently found that ROM manager incompatible for flashing new ROM's) Error msg - E: failed to verify whole file signature
My understanding now is that I would be better rooting using CF-Root with a customized kernel for my Gingerbread 2.3.3 build (haven't found one yet but see several options for 2.3.5)
Question: Assuming that I can find and install an appropriate kernel via Odin, do I need to restore my phone to OEM (unrooted) before I can head down the path of a CF-Root or can I install a new kernel on my phone as it exists in its rooted condition?
Any info or direction would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to flash a new ROM anyways, you can just flash a kernel via Odin. You will have to wipe everything before the ROM flash.

Do I need a kernel specific to my firmware version? Or can I install say, a Gingerbread kernel of a different version like 2.3.5? I see several options for downloads for this one, but not for the 2.3.3 version that I have currently installed. There was one link I found for a 2.3.3 kernel but it was no longer available on megaupload.
If I can and do opt for another kernel, when you say wipe everything... that includes the partition as well?
Thanks much for the reply, I'm really just getting started with all the in's and out's of rooting.
Thusfar, it seems to be a bit intensive for this particular Galaxy model compared to the all the success stories I'm seeing on later phones and OS versions.

Have tried following these instructions?
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Worked for me, a while back.
Hi everyone
My Father's I9070 runs on 2.3.6, I want to upgrade to 4.1.2 as is described here:
http://android.sc/update-samsung-ga...ial-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-dxamd1-firmware/
but he insists that it must be possible to go back to current rom. I wanted to install CWM to make nandroid backup without root as is described here:
http://ssdroid.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-install-clockworkmod-on-samsung.html
but I encountered a problem, when I try to apply update, CWM.zip fails verification. After that I tried to root so I could install CWM from ROM Manager. I tried these methods:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660419
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199
but I cannot locate proper ROM. Phone was bought in Poland from ORANGE network. In "phone info" under "version number" it says GINGERBREAD.XXLK2.
after typing *#1234# it shows :
PDA I9070XXLK2
PHONE: I9070XXLK2
CSC: I9070OXXLI1
will these fit that phone:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9070&pcode=XEO#firmware
you my have to re-choose "POLAND-XEO" in "country" filed to see results.
Questions I have:
1. Does anyone have any idea how to install CWM? Preferably without Root.
2. If Root then how?
3. Should I flash 4.1.2 from
http://android.sc/update-samsung-ga...ial-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-dxamd1-firmware/
or
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9070&pcode=XEO#firmware ?
4. Can I safely assume that 2.3.6 from above will work as backup if I want to come back?
Than you guys for any help

I got pre-rooted xxld1 (non branded by carrier bloatware XEO) 2.3.6 and I can upload it somewhere if needed.
CWM is on same partition as kernel - you need root to change this.
Easiest way would be to update to XXLQE (4.1.2 XEO non branded)
and then apply root.zip by Shaan for root (can be done in stock recovery)
UKF / temp CWM method to install CoCore with CWM and you are done ;]
