[Q] How do i root my i9000 with 2.2.1 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, i recently purchased a sgs i9000 and i really want to root it, i have read a lot about rooting (including reading threads on this site) and i am still a bit unsure. Here are some details about my phone:
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000BVJP4
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.BVJS4
It is branded to Orange (so it has the Orange bootup as well as the Galaxy bootup)
All i am insterested in is rooting my phone to have superuser access. At the moment i am not bothered about flashing a rom during the root process.
Thanks in advance

If you'll be staying at 2.2.1 you can flash a kernel with odin. For instance, speedmod k13e or sth. else. It will make your phone faster and will add superuser and busybox and it takes less than a minute to do that.

hi
you can root it using different ways
1-try z4root from the market
2-using odin flash any voodoo kernel or speedmod kernel
3-i think also super one click will be usefull
regards

So speedmod k13e works with my build number etc? or does it not matter? Thanks

Yeah, 2.2.1 kernels work on all 2.2.1 ROMs.

Do I need to have my Samsung galaxy s rooted in order to apply the lagfix? I updated to froyo 2.2 but not ready to root yet based on the different flavours of roms and ways to root this phone along with the current issues some have been facing.

Yes, your phone does need to be rooted to be able to apply a lagfix

[Q] Question about Voodoo Lagfix Ext4 for GT I9000 DXJV9

Hi everybody,
I updated my firmware from Kier to 2.3.3 with GT-I9000 DXJV9 version, which Ext4 would suit my phone? I found the thread from Supercurio and got these version:
1.Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVO, update 1
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-XXJVO-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
2. Stock+Ext4 Kernel JVH, update 1:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-XWJVH-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
3. Stock+Kernel JVB and prior (won't be updated):
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
I am running DXJV9, would any of the JVO or JVH suit my phone?
Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks!!!
anyone has an answer?

[Q] Cyanogenmod7 on Ficeto JVH?

Hey guys, just started flashing roms etc. yesterday, and ended up being completely amazed at how versatile these phones can actually be!
My phone is a GT-I9000M on Bell's network in Canada.
I am currently running Darky's ROM 10.2 on Ficetos Deodexed JVH for the I9000
PDA: I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000UGKC1
CSC: I9000XEEJV3
I want to try out Cyanogenmod7, and am curious as to whether I can simply install the update.zip package on my Ficeto JVH? Or do I need to re-flash back to a stock version of 2.2 before installing CM7?
Thanks for all the help!
PS. Not quite clear on which of which is a kernal, rom, etc. so bear with my lack of proper classification.

HOLY CRAP, Thank you, I could not find a definitive guide for CM7 on a SGS for the life of me. after googling, searching here, the wiki, and the CM7 site, nothing.
Thank you so much!

Buddy, just don't go behind those numbers!!
in-fact you just try em all!!
i can say "i love Semaphore v1.7.0"...the best kernel with the out of package best tweaks and scripts inbuilt+you can get OC and the most basic and best part is it has been patched with CF-root tweaks,rather than just a simple modified kernel like darky's!! I used Darky's ROM v10.2.2 EE +Dark core v2.9 still it has got many bugs and tweaks not present..!!
So, that's why i would like to say "just try em all" !!

[Q] Upgrading Darky's v9.2 to v10.2 problems

Hi, I am having problems upgrading my phone from Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition to DarkyRom v10.2 Resurrection.
After alot of forum reading/trial and error/semi-bricking I successfully installed v9.2 on my phone using heimdall.
Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Canadian Bell)
GT-I9000M
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build: Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition
I followed this guide to get version 9.2 installed using heimdall(darky-resurrection-edition-guide.1578 -sorry couldn't post url), I couldn't get any version to work using odin.
And now I've been using this guide to upgrade to 10.2, attempting installs with odin and heimdall, with no luck (darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577-sorry couldn't post url), doing the "long guide" outlined in the post.
After I try this guide my phone shows the DarkyRom logo and then infinitely reboots.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try????? I've currently reflashed it back to v9.2.
I don't completely understand firmware versions, kernel versions, rom versions. I think I am running Froyo version, if thats whats 2.2.1 means. I have mainly been fooling around with this because the kies update semi-bricked my phone. Anyways, thanks for the help/suggestions
I also read in another thread on here to use the app DarkyOTA, in the app store it says that my device is not compatible with this app, so not sure if that is the proper route.
Flash a stock GB rom with Odin.. then a cf root kernel.. then you can install any custom rom you want from clockwork mod recovery.. I have never used hemidal so I can't help you with that...
