hey guys! its been awhile since i been here my Brother wants his Galaxy S rooted and flashed to a different firmware!
i searched around but cant really find any info on the i9000m model. Hes running 2.2 i9000UGKC1 ( i believe that is the newest update)?
so what are my first steps to gain root? then flash? maybe a point to a root tutorial then a post to a flash tutorial for the i9000M would be handy, i just cant seem to find them haha, been so long since i was here. So can anyone give me the down low on how the mods are going and things needed to get root and flash?
thanks guys
Bump! any one here? im reading that root is possible for the i9000m but flashing might not be? im confused.... is it still odin used to flash and unlock the bootloader to flash new roms?
i've got an i9000m and rooted with SuperOneClick, then once rooted flashed speedmod kernel with Odin. No problemo.
Just make sure before you do anything that you can access Download mode and Recovery Mode via the '3-button' method ie. turn off then hold power/home/vol down (or up) respectively.
been busy since so haven't yet tried a custom rom, but yes, you can root and flash an i9000m!

haha from the days i had my galaxy s i remember the SuperOneClick was downlaodable from the market?? buti cant find it anymore!!! where is it???
and which guide are you talking about to flash custom roms? there seems to be alot...for i9000m
so im reading that i can root with superoneclick
then afterwards i can flash CWM Recovery with Rom Manager? and start flashing roms right? without ODIN?
thats how i used to do it on a htc phone, does it work same with i9000m?

Bump anyone inform me as if this is correct? with the i9000UGKC1 firmware?
Bump, want my information verified, dont want to screw up my brothers phone haha
hey sorry i haven't checked in in awhile either - don't know if it still helps but i rooted with KC1 2.2. then flashed speedmod kernel (only realised afterwards could have just flashed the kernel and used it to root - rooted initially with superoneclick).
been super busy but now have a bit more time to look at more developments - just basic stuff like going to GB, maybe a new kernel and start looking at other ROMs again.

My stupid N1 updated to 2.3.4 via ota. and i lost root
If i follow the wiki, which says downgrade to 2.3.3 and then use super1 click for 2.3.3
Will i be ok?
Can some1 paste the link which has the 2.3.3 file that i can flash as passimg.zip?
I donot wanna flash something wrong and brick my phone (i live in Ind where htc service is minimal)
i have an htc slcd with 0c15 microp
how do i flash Amon_ra recovery? i have had success in flashing the clockworkmod frm Rom manager, Any merits in flashing amon_ra?
thanks guys
Ok well if you look in the wiki at the unroot/restore section then you'll find the passimg file for frg83 use that (there is none for 2.3.3) then just root with superoneclick rageagainstthecage method. The other option you have is to unlock the bootloader then fastboot flash a recovery. Now for flashing Amon RA you can do that from ROM manager as well just flash clockwork mod then reboot and you'll see that the flash alternate recovery is no longer grayed out it says Amon RA 2.2.1 just tap that and you've got Amon. Me personally I prefer Amon RA.
rooting 2.3.4
Hey bro, thanks for the advice
I actually found a GrI40 2.3.3 gingerbread stock on the xda forums, If i copy this 2 the SD card and apply as passimg.zip,will it work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396,
the 1st build actually says its a stock rom which i am happy to use
Also, is there an app on the market before i apply root>?
i hve about 22 apps and would ideally wanna back them up, before downgrading and flashing
can u advise?
thanks again,,,,
Ok well for the file no you can't use that you need a shipment ROM which come from leaks, the file you found will only work if you flash it from recovery if your rooted or from fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked. As far as backups go the best option without root access is mybackup pro.
And "your stupid N1" did not update itself. The phone is not stupid...
must have happened by mistake
there is no frigging way i updated 2 gingrbrd when i was happily rooted
so itsw stupid
Yes YOU did.
If it makes you feel better to blame the phone for your stupidity then so be it.
Why can't you unlock the bootloader? Why are so, many people afraid to unlock the, damn bootloader? I don't get it.... Just unlock it, flash recovery, flash su, reboot... Profit???? Done. Simple.
bootloader unlock
Babydoll
thx 4 ur advice sir !
Thats one option i have thot off , 2 unlock loader n then flash recovery
But i live in ind ,where N1 cant be serviced and unlocking bootloader
also screws it warranty
Can i dwngrade to 2.3.3 using the GRI40 2.3.3 rom which is avail on on our forums. and then root with super1click?
Once again thx 4 ur advice
Albundy 2010 -if u think ur the only intelligent guy and feel ur superior, i have not seen that kinda stupidity ,thx
I don't think that at all. Just letting you know that it's your fault the phone updated. Don't blame the "stupid" phone for your actions. Just another case of a smart phone - stupid user.
ok thanx 4 the feedback
now that u given ur stupid lecture about "stupidity", can u actually lemme no if its possible 2 downgrade with Stock GrI40 avail on our forums,
Few say its possible and few say it cant
I d like 2 dwngrade 2 use super1click on 2.3.3 which i believe is possible
Yes it is possible. You need to use the passing.zip method to go back to a froyo. You can than root/install a custom recovery from there and flash a rom.
You can also install the OTA's up until 2.3.3 Root that/install custom recovery. Then flash the update to 2.3.4 from custom recovery and without rebooting flash su to keep root.

o super!!!!!, i alrdy have the FRG33 renamed as passimg.zip on sd
But is it possible 2 go directly to GRI40 2.3.3?????[/B], which is stock gingerbrd
thats 1 doubt i hve been Having 4 a long time!!!!
whch is nippier than Froyo
I just dont want to apply 2.3.3 and then brick my device without expert advice
thx again 4 the assist
Yes!
Root FRG33, then manually apply the updates from recovery and flash the su zip over them. Do not reboot the phone, or you will lose the recovery and will have to start again...
OMG, this thread is still going?
Do yourself a big favor:
Go read Wiki, rooting guide, unlock bootloader method.
Execute fastboot oem unlock.
Then flash whatever recovery you like.
Then flash whatever ROM you like. Stock, not stock, 2.3.4, 120312.12974.0935789, whatever.
And if you're not ready for it - then go use your phone as it is, and don't think about rooting until you are. The most important part being - ready to learn to RTFM (google that, if you don't know what it is).
It's the 4th thread you open for help within less than 4 days. That clearly says something.
+1 Jack
The ONLY way to brick a nexus one is when a radio flash goes bad in recovery. Which is why I will only flash radios via fastboot. NOTHING else will do it. Except for physical issues with the phone like water or bad sectors etc.
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.
I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.
I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.
What I want to do:
1. CyanogenMod 7
2. Overclock the CPU
But what I don't know is...
1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?
2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.
3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.
I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.
Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!
You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.
Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....
See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.
Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.
This is so frustrating...

You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...
Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.
I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.
Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.
It worked pretty smoothly.
okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...
In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery
Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...
Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!
Now time to fiddle around and customize!
Thanks everyone!!
I know ive asked a few questions and ive searched a bit, but im coming from an htc phone, so everything is completely different, so id like to know, coming from a practically brand new phone, running a pre installed gingerbread, how do i root it, and put CWM on it? I would like to install custom roms, and im used to doing it through recovery and rom manager doesnt do it for the captivate from what i saw...so just a little help would be nice. And yes, again, i have searched, but i just find my self getting lost...i have odin, i have a captivate...the rest is a blur
No need to root to ROM it. Use Odin to flash a custom kernel that has cwm baked into it (all custom kernels do) then button combo into recovery and flash a ROM. The ROM will be rooted after the flash.
And completely forget ROM manager exists...it sucks on Samsung phones.

idk, it confused me a little
Okay, just got a captivate. I rooted it no problem. I couldn't flash cwm to flash cm7 without a custom kernel that has cwm on it. So I got odin3 1.7 got my phone into download mode and flashed first the cornkernel, once the phone booted up it had a crazy screen with all kinds of colors. Okay, wrong kernel, then I did boog Kernel, same thing. Can someone point me to a kernel for the stock 2.2 rom that has cwm so I can get cm7? Sorry to post, but there is so much info and I've already spent hours trying to find it.
Found one here. So, anyone coming from stock and you want CWM, use the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 Boy I tell you, took forever to find.

You need GB bootloaders to use a GB kernel I believe.

That is correct. Corn is based on the KK4 source (Gingerbread). You must have the gingerbread bootloaders to use Corn. You (OP) might want to double check the directions for CM7 before you attempt any more flashing. Reading the instructions first can help prevent you from turning your device into an expensive paperweight. The instructions include how to go from 2.2 to CM7. They are HERE
Once I got the right kernel I was able to flash the newest nightly with no trouble. I'll have to start with the wikki next time, thanks for the link. It just turned into a mess going through these forums and Google, because this devices has been out a while and there were so many ways to do things, and a lot of them no longer supported.
I always like to include a link rather than just say go search. I've tried searching for certain keywords before and you get just about every thread in the dev section returned.
I found that issue moving to a ROM the other night. The developer suggested flashing to KJ3 stock then flashing Boog to get CWM. I figured I would just flash KK4 stock, then flash Corn, get CWM with that, and then flash the ROM (which included corn anyway). There are so many ways to do most things on the Captivate these days.
Hai there, sorry for asking this nooble question but my friends phone seems broken.
My friends got a rooted SGS which has/had TeamHacksungs CM9 on it, which was working as a charm.. Then somehow last night when he pulled out the phone out of his pocket it was bootlooping, he took it to me and I noticed i coulnd get into CWM Recovery. However I am able to get into "Download-mode" Could anyone point out to me how exactly I flash a recovery image to this phone and what files should be used. I did look around the fora myself but only came across some very old posts which I doubt are compatible with a phone that was already rooted, and was already running the latest versions of CWM and Android [4.3]
I already tried to flash a speedmod kernel that came with CMW, which failed.. im still able to get into download mode.
Any halp on this would be really appreciated.
Which files do I flash in Odin to get a working recovery again?
Thanks!
You should be able to flash a stock rom using ODIN, and from there you'll be able to root it and install a custom one again.
ah yea, i posted that too soon, yea thats exactly what i did, i followed:
