Hi guys, i've searched the forum, but i've mainly see people suggesting the z4 method.
Heres my problem; my phone (unrooted) was working fine up until yesterday, but when i tried booting it up today, it just goes straight to the boot loader. This phone has never been rooted before and after searching the forums, i've been suggested that rooting the phone could possibly help. I need a root method that can be rooted from bootloader. Obviously z4 is not an option since the phone will not boot up. Please advise.
Phone is currently running 2.2 froyo
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Droid or Milestone? If you are on the Milestone, use RSD Lite to flash the vulnerable recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and install Androidiani Open Recovery from the sticky in Milestone Development section, root through AOR.

It's for the droid.
I was able to root using this method: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
and then i installed the [ROM] SimpleROM v1.0 [ Froyo w/ Sense Styling + Working Flash 10.1 ].
THe rom installed successfully but when i reboot, i'm having the same issues.
It goes straight to bootloader.
and suggestions?

Hi, I am extremely new to the Android scene, been using an Iphone and got the Captivate when it came out.
Now I am in india and trying to unlock the phone for use on Vodafone.
** I successfully installed the 2.2 update.
** Tried to install the root update.zip but in recovery mode couldnt select the right option so needed to redo the 2.2 update.
** Searched and found that the 2.2 is for regular galaxy S with hard buttons and we need to update the kernel with some of the fixes for captivate which I found on this forum. The v1.3 file with Voodoo and bln and lagfix is one without odin file, so again searched and found that I can install that file using Rom Manager.
** Downloaded the Rom Manager and updated it to the latest version app and tried to Install ROM from SD Card, I selected this zip file i got from one of the threads on this site for v1.3 fixes. But the problem is that the app doesnt do anything it is suppose. I read it should reboot and install this rom but it just took me back to the list of files to select rom and didnt do anything.
What am I doing wrong.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I spent the last 5 hrs trying to figure this out
Thanks a ton in advance.

Quite possibly
I thought I will upgrade the phone first, apply the fixes for the kernel and once I have rooted the phone, I could unlock it.
Is that process flow not possible. Do I have to unlock first, then update and then root.
The problem still remains, when I successfully upgraded to the official 2.2 version(again found it from a search: http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/)
I cant goto restore menu and select anything. So after searching for a solution I found that all I need to do is put in a new kernel using ROM Manager and which is what I tried.
But ROM Manager didnt do what it said it would.

I will have to double check since the phone is not with me right now to see what version I am running, but I have upgraded from the link I provided above.

I understand rooting and unlock are 2 different things, just like how jailbreak and unlock on the iphone were, but I thought I could follow: Upgrade to 2.2->Update Kernel->Unlock procedure.

I can try that as well, so you are saying once I unlock on 2.1 and root it, upgrade to 2.2 would automatically make the phone unlocked and rooted? or would I have to repeat any of the 2 steps again.
Thanks for your patience.
Once on stock you will be able to save the fikes that hold the unlock code.
If you go back to 2.2 you will have to paste those fikes back where they belong.

Hi,
I used RomManager to flash the ClockWorkRecovery.
How do I get back to the stock recovery after I updated to Gingerbread?
instal a stock rom! : p
why do you want the stock recovery anyway?
Sent from my Nexus One
If you are on a stock ROM the custom recovery will automatically be overwritten by the stock recovery when you reboot.

You need to be root. Im still trying to figure out how. SOC doesnt work on 2.3.3, and ive never used any other method. If someone can help. Pls do so. Us noobs need to be root too
None of the existing methods seem to work on the update. The only way so far is to flash the root package after installing the update, but before rebooting.

Hi, I would like to update to Gingerbread but I am trying to find out how I can recover the recovery ROM if I do this so that I don't void my warranty, and would like to know how to do this before I do anything.
I am a little confused by your answer. When you say 'stock ROM' are you referring to the Android OS ROM or the recovery ROM? I need to either downgrade my recovery ROM from 3e to 2e or put clockwork on my phone so that I can install the new OS.
Thanks,

Suggest you look at the Nexus S forums. This is the Nexus One forum, and solutions for the Nexus One may not work for your Nexus S.
Necro'd this thread with a post asking a question about the Galaxy S. Not even the Nexus S. Fail.
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.
I have tried upgrading using the method posted here but I keep getting an error: "FOTA Name mismatch". (I used method one).
Also, I was unable to get the stock 2.2 rooted using the super one click method, in order to install the CWM and try the method 2.
I have been working on these for hours and I am at my wits ends.
Here, is my question: Is there an NVFlash method that will get me to a rooted stock honeycomb?
Thanks for your help.
P.S: I have been using Steve's HoneyStreak R7 but the battery life has been terrible. I downgraded to stock 2.2 to get the official HoneyComb upgrade but have not been successful.
to answer your last question, no. To root froyo on ds7 use gingerbreak.

Method one works, if you get the FOTA mismatch then you flashed the incorrect recovery. I used method one. BUT there is a problem, rooting stock Honeycomb I get some random reboots, if I stay stock unrooted it runs fine
Gingerbreak worked for me after flashing back to 2.2 with NVFlash.

I have tried Superoneclick latest version with zergrush. Hangs on step 7. I would like to root my SCH-I800. Anyone shed some some light on this? Even a manual root via adb?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
Will CF-Root work? If which file?
same here: no joy with either latest superoneclick or with the pure zergrush.
vzw may have patched that exploit
:/
I mean I can put it back to stock and not update it. Just seems a lot more stable with 2.3.5. More fluid and faster. I originally had 2.2 and rooted manually. Now seeing new update, I reset to stock and downloaded both updates to 2.3.5. No dice on any root method yet. I see CF-Root as method but our device is considered old by latter means? Also my kernel string only gives "2.6.35.7". Hopefully soon...
If you flash the kernel from my Cubed 3 ROM it will allow you to adb push the root files.

Can/should we flash the recovery as well? Is it possible to flash back to the stock kernel and/or recovery after rooting?
BTW, I really like your ROM, I just prefer to stay a little closer to stock. Thanks a lot for all the help you have provided us VZW Tab owners!
EDIT: I just now saw your rooted stock ROM in the development forum. That is really awesome, thanks! But, if possible, I am still interested in rooting the device without having to reflash the entire ROM and losing data/settings in the process.
Any update on this? Suggestions?
Just need to root, not change the ROM (yet!)
