[Q] Unsuccessful CF-root on stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 JVK Kernel - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am a newbie but I want to have root privileges on my GB 2.3.3 phone, so I read the instructions on how to flash the stock kernel to the CF root kernel (described in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108) and gave it a try.
I started with the following official stock firmware and kernel from SFR (French provider), obtained thru Kies by updating from Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Official stock firmware was released 4th of July 2011):
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVK-CL264237...
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVK
Kies mentioned after the update to 2.3.3: PDA: JVK / PHONE: JVO / CSC: JV4 (SFR)
As the build number, specifies JVK, I selected the CF-root zip: CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS.zip
I flashed this CF-root kernel using Odin without re-partition. Odin successfully flashed it, next my device rebooted, after which everything looked normal. But then after half a minute, the screen goes black and devices reboots by itself.
This repeats continuously: after boot, I have the home screen and I can use my device for around half a minute (response is very slow though), then it reboots.
In recovery mode in Clockworkmod, I did ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and ‘wipe cache partition’, both ended successfully. However, the problem of the reboot after about half a minute stays.
In the Tweaks app, I managed to deselect all tweaks (in between a couple of reboots...), but no positive effect: My devices keeps hanging after half a minute and then rebooting.
During every boot, after the boot animation during the glowing S, the phone vibrates once but then proceeds the boot up to the home screen...
1.) Did I select the wrong CF-root kernel zip file?
2.) Can anyone advise my on how to get my phone rooted and working again?
3.) Or is flashing the complete stock firmware the only option?
Many thanks in advance for help.

I will look into that and try to help!

AFAIK CF-root kernels are for Europian roms.

Hi there,
I got a similar syndrom with a BUJVB (french provider SFR).
My config is => SGS GT-I9000 - PDA: BUJVB - PHONE: BUJV3 - CSC: GSFRJV8
I finally rooted the gingerbread by a manual operation from the speedmod kernel (loading superuser and busybox from the speedmod CWM2.5, then resinstalling my original BUJVB kernel)
Anyhow, did you get a clue why some cf-root do not work properly?
What causes the systematic reboot phenomenon?

That CF-Root JVK is for XXJVK, ie. a Gingerbread 2.3.2 build. This build is a number of months old. Use a CF-Root that is built for JVH or JVI.

I recently rooted my gingerbread 2.3.3 ace. Would the same method work for my girlfriends 2.3.3 galaxy s? Thanks in advance.

Just trying again solves the problem. Its more of an odin problem then a cd root problem and if you have to blame cf-root then it is also samsung based Such as odin.
hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!

i was in the same situation rebootloop - so i just flashed this and then everything is workin great.

How do i backup my original Rom ?

Hi all,
I guess this subject must have come by, but i have not been able to find it using the search bar. So i hope some 1 can help me.
On my company we have 4 Samsung Galaxy I9000 in use, and 1 spare phone as backup.
Some of my collegue (and me aswell) changed our rom to Darky 9.5 and we are all very happy with it.
Now there is 1 phone that needs to return to the shop for repairs and i wanted to make a backup from the spare phone we have here. So i could flash his phone back to original rom.
I am from the Netherlands and the Rom that comes with the Phone is:
KIES says:
- PDA: JPC
- Phone: JPP
- Modem: JS2 (KPN(provider))
*#1234# says:
PDA: I9000XWJPC
Phone: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000KPNJS2
Is there a way to back up this Rom ? Or any other ideas on how to get this rom on the other phone ?
ty in advance for tips and tricks
well you could root a phone that is on stock ROM and make a nandroid backup and restore that on the phone to be sent back..
or you could go to www.samfirmware.com and find your firmware there and flash it using ODIN.
You have a 2.2 release, there is a 2.2.1 for this phone :

It's the official ROM is you try to upgrade your phone with Kies 2.0. You can try to install a SpeedMod Kernel before upgrading to format system and cache and wipe Dalvik cache, return in Download mode and Flash this ROM via Odin v1.3 in "One file Mode" (no repartition and no pit file, just the ROM in PDA file).
You need to have the 3 button combo working to do all this things to go in Recovery mode for "clean up" the phone via SpeedMod (no necessary but always good to do).

Ideal backup would be genuine original rom or genuine updated rom via Kies and back that up as stock factory rom .
I did via Kies registry spoofing and i believe that current Kies allows you to save firmware or at least its downloaded during the update and you save a copy before the actual update .

Ooh a kies registry spoofing. Hmmm will have to look that up tomorrow. Is that hard to do ?
Will i be able to put that firmware on any sgs ?

Hum, my reply make download on PC the OFFICIAL release on Samsung FUS server used by Kies 2.0 and it's a working method NOW. Registry spoofing doesn't work anymore !
Hi, i replied the topic on my phone. now i see the replies that came before the registry 1..
Ty all for helping me. i am gonna try some and let you know the outcome.

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?

[Q] i9000m 2.3.3 to ICSSGS RC3.1

I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.
Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.
Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.

Hi,
I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum
It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:
1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.
2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).
4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.
I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.
any ideas
try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back

I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9000UGKG3
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3
Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3
So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.
do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .
I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry

[Q] stuck on the samsung logo after update

Hi All,
My galaxy note is stuck on the Samsung logo and just hangs there.
some info on what I did.
My phone has been rooted (this has been done a while now still on stock rom)
I put phone back to factory settings (as wanted to start fresh) all was fine still rooted
I got a pop-up message about a update so I installed the update phone rebooted
Then I got another message about a update think it was kernel file update
phone rebooted
Then I got another message about android 4 so installed this phone rebooted and now it just hangs when it gets to the Samsung logo.
I can get into recovery mode.
Any ideas what I should do?
I have done lots of searches but did not want to make things worse (if possible)
Should I try and flash ICS using Odin3 v1.85?
Or should I just send phone back to Samsung?
Flash a stock Gingerbread Rom using PC Odin.Then,if you want you can update to official ICS without rooting or root GB and flash custom ROMS.
Dont wipe anything from the default kernel CWM, see if your storage can connect to PC, if yes then copy CF kernel 5.6 lq3 and Abyss kernel 4.2 and flash Abyss kernel first and go to advance reboot recovery, then do full wipe, then flash CF kernel 5.6 lq3
Hi Thanks for the replies
I checked and I can go into recovery and access the sd card
I could not find the kernels you mentioned do you have a link to them
also when I have flashed both kernels will I then have to flash a rom?
maybe the ginger bread one like NoRmAlY_CrAzY said
I found this one that am downloading
N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)
Should I flash that?
-------
ok I flashed the ginger bread rom using rom Odin and its working i'll have to root again now i'll have to go read some threads about updating to ICS
Thanks Angie

The CF-Root file needs to be the same as your Base. i.e. XXJVU Base, XXJVU CF-Root.
If you want to install a 4.4 ROM install the JVU firmware first then flash CF-Root (Download the CF-Root file for JVU) and then install CM9 -> CM10. Don't install CM11 straight from stock as you might lose your IMEI.
