i9000m 2.3.3 root question

Hi all!
I just got a Galaxy S i9000m, it came stock (unrooted).
I've been reading + searching trying to find out how I can root this then flash a different rom. I'm a little confused in finding the easiest way to do this.
My phone stats from the settings:
-Firmware 2.3.3
-Baseband I9000UKGKG3
-Kernel 2.6.35.7 I9000UKGKG3 [email protected] #2
-Build GINGERBREAD.GKG3
I can press the volume up+down + power on and get into the recovery menu
I can also do the volume down + power and get into the download screen.
Can someone link me to where the tutorial for this is? I've found the cf root thread, but I don't know where to dl ODIN.
Also, since I can get into recovery (3 button method) can I just flash the update .zip to root?
Thanks for any input you can give me.

Download Odin 1.85 here
Just flash ChainFire's kernal with Odin and it should have busybox and superuser pre-installed along with root. Just make sure you use the right kernal CF made for 2.3.3
I have the same phone as you, and it also came as 2.3.3 UGKG3 stock, but what I did was just flash it to JVT 2.3.5 and used ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.5 root and then speedmod since I wasn't sure if ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.3 would work with UGKG3 since it's the North American version.

double post.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm sorry I tried to follow your steps but I'm lost could you provide me with some links ?
I'm trying to follow your instructions but Chainfire's thread doesn't list what kernels are JVT 2.3.5 are these kernels the same as speedmod? I'm sorry I'm a total noob!
I tried these .tar files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 but all that keeps happening is that my galaxy stays in the boot screen.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211939 , and it doesn't seem to be a full root because when i try and get into cwm it says E;cannot mount etc..
What am I doing wrong or missing?

New Roms

sorry for the newb questions, but i am finding way to much cross references for rooting and unlocking a bell vibrant could someone help me out I would like to put on a new rom pls.

1. Go to this thread and download JVT. Flash JVT with Odin and make sure re-partition is checked.
2. Go to this thread and download the CF-Root kernel for JVT. Flash the kernel with Odin
3. You should now have stock 2.3.5 with root and CWM installed. Reboot into recovery and use CWM to flash whatever custom ROM you want.

thanks very much just finished and it worked out very well.

2.3.5 and 2.3.6 why not jvu semaphore kernel 2.5.0 and @ oserx o.7.1 rum is the best and fastest rom I had

[Q] Clockmod recovery on DDLB2

Well right now i am on stock DDLB2 rom and rooted... Now i want to have clockmod recovery on my phone.
i dont want any kernal.... i want stock kernal + clockmod recovery.
How could i do this please help ?

You need to replace kernel to get CWM
CF kernels are same as stock, you can use CF root kernel LB1 for LB2 ROM without any issue

thanks, lb2 cf kernel is available or not?

Yep available . but you can install CWM Only. Root is not available yet for LB2.

[Q] how to install CWM on ace 2.2.1 stock rooted plz help very urgent

hi all
can any1 tell me how to install recovery on ace 2.2.1 rooted device?
searched a lot but cudnt find?
any link or instructions wud be helpful
thanks.

You need to be on gingerbread to flash CWM 4/5(I recommend CWM 5 for no errors during flashing)
Download the latest gingerbread firmware for your Phone and flash through Odin and after that you can put CWM recovery onto your Ace.
Otherwise the Best solution is to flash Custom ROMs.
But you will need to be on Gingerbread to flash Most of the released Custom ROMs so better flash a gingerbread stock ROM through Odin and then you are good to go.

You can flash CWM v4 on Odin if you're on Froyo

That is for GT-S5830C/i/M. Is no the same than: s5830/L/B

Get CF-Root adpation for Froyo, CWM 4 and Root.
Look in the all roms tweaks and kernels in the dev section

Help getting cwm

Hey everyone, i currently own a rooted galaxy s i9000 that runs 3e recovery and a really buggy custom Israeli rom.
I would like to flash another rom but 3e needs rom verification or something like that so i can't really work through it.
I understand that i should use ODIN to flash CF-Root, but the rom has changed the build number somehow so i don't know which version to use.
Some info:
Android Number:2.3.3
Build NumberilotxRom JVH GINGERBREAD V1.1.2
If you could post a link to the right CF-Root and ODIN files i should use and some basic instructions i would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Daniel.

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.

flash GingeBread 2.3.6(Maybe xxjvu or JW4) and flash cf-root.

to use custom rom GB 2.3.6 is a good start, if you want to flash cm10.1 i suggest after you flash CM7(GB) -> cm9 (ICS) ->CM10 (JB) to avoid lost imei.
